Resident Evil 5 is awesome sauce! [Spoilers]
atheistium \| 4:12 PM on 03.15.2009	29 comments

Okay so I've spent 33 hours this last weekend and a bit playing RE5 over and over and over again. I've got all
the achievements, unlocked all of mercenaries levels and characters and am now just waiting until versus
gets released so all my extra points I have piled up can be spent on delicious versus character unlocks!

Holy crap though! How is everyone enjoying the game?! It's so impressed that I haven't even completed Lara's
Shadow (Tomb Raider Underworld DLC) because I keep thinking "I could be playing RE5 right now" and quit
out.

Also ROCKET LAWNCHERR]!!! Why on professional mode do rocket launchers pretty much 1 hit kill 90% of
bosses.

This was a professionally written blog with 'High Quality' images taken by my mr.Phone 9001, displayed on
awesome 19" W/S Monitor of win. I did a review of RE5 too at my website.

Still haven't played the game. Too poor. Glad you're having fun though, Atheistium :D

Hmm, it�s been a while since I cared about the RE series (playing nemesis with a PS1 dance mat controller with friends = epic). I might pick this up when it falls below �25.

Also, lol chrome/safari and at shakeycam.

Corican

You stopped playing Tomb Raider to play this game??!!!!
It MUST be really really good!!!

Jamie McGinn

Me and Wilbo did that wee trick we were talking about, I now have the Gatling Gun with infinite ammo.

AWSUM!

I Love it! I love it to death.

What the hell is this blog about? It's not retarded so I don't understand it!

:)

I'm on chapter 3-1 and I have yet to beat it!
I'm liking it a lot but, so far, that whole driving sequence and that down syndrome monster boss sucked pretty hardcore in my opinion.

The Scientist

Ah yes! Great to see that the new Resi game is as packed with unlockables as all the others.
I've yet to get my hands on a copy ( Weird seeing a game sell out where I'm from ), but I'll just settle in the revelry of expectation.

GOD DAMN MATRIX SHIT....I'm looking at you Wesker.

Everything pre-ch.5 in that game is gold, but god damn....blanks with blanks....

Jordan Devore

Give me some tips on the Mine level for Mercs. I want to unlock Wesker already!

falinter

I'm almost afraid of how much time this game will eat.

:( probably more than Fallout 3. Thats pretty nuts.

Maurice Tan

Yay!

@Grim

Get a co-op partner, its a lot easier with someone else, you need a higher score but good communication helps out with that.

The Prisons stage is VICIOUS, took me and a bud like 6 tries before we got the points needed for Wesker.

BlackFreefall

I have to crack open my copy of Resident Evil. Hopefully sometimes this week.

BS3 Owner

It's funny how you like, TombRaiderUnderworld & ResidentEvil5... Sooo incredibly much atheistium.

Both being Playstation Only titles for years, but you prefer them & enjoy them on your 360...
The Irony is delicious!

( BTW GOTY 2009!
No ifs ands ors o buts about it. )

Aaron Mxy Yost

I have so many other games I need to finish before picking this up. Damn my lack of free time!

Brian Szabelski

So it seems there's more to RE5 than I expected.

*adds it to his queue*

Wardrox and I were going to play this weekend but he insisted I play Killzone 2. Which I played for all of 15 minutes, complaining profusely, until he effectively distracted me with chocolate cake. This drove all other thought out of my mind.

atheistium

@Nintendoll tell Wardrox the P does not go in the V without Resi :P (THAT ALL RHYMES!!)

@Grim unlock Sheva Tribal and get a co-op partner. Unlimited Longbow ammo. BOOM BOOM BOOM!!

@young scot the Gatling gun is already unlimited ammo :P

Skribble

I have been raping this game since I bought it Saturday and just finished it today.

Seriously AMAZING game.

Usedtabe

Got it at midnight launch, have put over 30 hours into it myself. I had to buy another copy for my wife, as she tried to steal mine. This game is extremely fun, and I am still not bored even though I've played some levels at least 6 times.

larktenchi

Just finished taking almost all the achievements, only the professional mode trophy is left.

I so love playin the game. the feel of it is both the same and unique compared to RE$, but still, It is one HELL of a game by its own right.

Gotta ask you ATHEISTIUM, did you like playing at Professional mode? I tried it just a bit before (although have to do it now to get all of the trophies) and it felt like you also have almost a one-hit kill when foes hit you, is that correct? Cause im pretty sure when you're at a DYING state, you WILL certainly die asap, is that true based on your experience?

atheistium

@larktenchi 1 hit kill unless you wear body armour and then some enemies will only take away 50% of your health. The dying mode only lasts 1 second (if that) so unless you are next to eachother and you press the heal button as soon as they get hit it is going to make no difference.

I enjoyed professional mode, it was a fun challenge. Well worth unlocking some unlimited ammo and getting an upgraded L.Hawk.
