I know everyone’s talking about the new game, but I need to vent really quick about Resident Evil 5. I recently started a replay of the game on hardcore mode by myself and I’m about to drop it because of how drop-dead retarded the AI partner is. Here’s some of what’s pissed me off:
  • I gave it a shotgun early on to use and it NEVER used it and preferred draining pistol ammo instead, even when heavy enemies or the chainsaw guy shows up
  • It also was adverse to using the sniper rifle for some reason, again preferring to shoot targets (poorly) with the pistol at range
  • Getting it to do any melee attacks is impossible. Occasionally it will do a follow-up attack after I hit an enemy, but it will never do it on its own and just prefers draining pistol ammo
  • If you or the AI have even a papercut, the AI will waste a healing item trying to get your health to 100%
  • Grenades? What are those? I also foolishly expected the AI to lay down mines during that first boss fight and realized I’d have to do that myself too
  • During the on-rails gunner segment, the AI was next to useless and I ended up dying at least once due to it failing to shoot things in a timely manner
I finally threw my hand up at the el Niggante fight because, again, the AI is useless at being useful and I constantly ate shit from the firebomb-throwing dudes and not doing enough damage quickly enough to stall out the bosses’ attacks at certain moments. Fuck Resident Evil 5 without an actual partner.
Dont give the ai a gun, also the on rail chapter sucks if youre playing sheva cause her gun has a wind up to shoot. If you're having an issue as Chris its a skill issue.

I dunno why but I never had much issue with AI Sheva. I haven't done the game solo in over a decade but that was my first playthrough of it. I vaguely remember just having her be a walking item box that carried most of my ammo and health. She's definitely trigger happy with the heals but that didn't matter because it's a post CVX title meaning downed enemies just cough up whatever item you're short on anyway. I remember the licker section being annoying but that's just an awful part of the game in general despite how cool it was to see it for the first time in HD. My biggest issue with 5 was capcom attempting to bring back limited inventory and the item box which is a very stupid decision for an action game that's purely linear.

Conversely I still to this day haven't finished 6. Furthest I've gotten is 3/4 through Leon's campaign with a friend on PS4 but it was annoying having to share a screen even on a 50 inch TV. A friend of mine recently got a switch 2 and we're considering running through 6 together online since we could both have dedicated screens and it's the only console I have an online subscription for.

The game does a really bad job of informing players that they can set the AI partner's behavior between aggressive and defensive. I'm not sure what the controller equivalent would be, but on PC you can tap the up arrow key to make the AI switch to its strongest weapon and actively fight enemies. Pressing the down arrow key will revert the AI to the default, retarded baseline.

Its on the dpad while holding team action/call button for console. On pc you're supposed to be able to hold the call/team action button then hit WASD for different commands but they didn't program it right, the menu still shows when you hold the button though. They did fix this for re6 though.
 
Oh how I wait for the RE5make and the inevitable hard censorship of all the spear chucking niggers and even greater injection of random Whites into the sub-saharan hordes. I will have such a ball.
 
Just got done with REmake 2 and 3, I'm a few chapters into 4 now.

REmake 2 was pretty good. Zombies were frustrating, but fairly so. It's shame there aren't more differences between scenario A and B like the original. Mr. X stomping through out the police station was terrifying. didn't give a shit about ghost survivors or 4th survivor as I wasn't in the mood for speed running and running around every enemy.
REmake 3 felt like DLC for REmake 2 because of how much cut shit there was. Nemesis's later stage designs basically turned him into a giant licker and were kind of lame looking. Mercenaries was cut too, which was fucking bullshit. Jill is kind of a bitch for no reason. I'm glad I bought the REmake 2-4 bundle and effectively only paid 10$ for this. imagine buying this at full price back in the day and having to grind for the unlockables and diffuculty modes to get the most out of the game.
REmake 4's leon is kind of an emo faggot. I've already seen the crowbcat video comparing 2005 vs 2023 so there's not much for me to add. There are a few good additions, the knife parrying and upgrades and Ashley isn't a huge bitch, but I haven't reached the church yet. The OG game will always have more soul, but I wouldn't say this is a complete cash grab focusing on member berries.

I will say selling Seperate Ways seperately is pure kike behavior.

@UnknownUser

The cool thing about the REengine games is that they are pretty moddable.


How moddable are 5 and 6 btw? Can I make Sheva's AI not shitty?

Remake 3 is such a baffling fucking wiff on their part, it is insultingly short and lacks tons of the vibe of the original.
Cutting Gravedigger and the clocktower were things I disagreed with but felt could've been made up for if they had added enough to the rest of the game to make up for it, but they didn't. Gutting Nemesis and making every encounter with him scripted out the ass was an unmistakable fuckup, which was confounding considering how much they improved on Mr. X from the OG RE2 to RE2make. But them botching the "you want STARS? I'll give you STARS" line is what I'm still the grumpiest about because all you had to do was copy and paste the damn line, Capcom.
 
its good evil plan, really, make 8 million Ubermensch who can conquer the stars.

I sure hope the finalized product wasnt the goopy tendrils he got at the end though.
90% of the world would be just tendrils iirc. Wesker, bad guy from rev2, they were able to be infected and not turn into mindless tentacles monsters, iirc.
