It’s still early days for me, but Resident Evil 5 has so far been a blast. Flawless graphics, stunning environment, a ripped Chris Redfield… The only downside to date has been the tricky control scheme, but even that hasn’t stopped me from loving Capcom’s latest survival horror offering.
Indeed, it’s all kinds of awesome!
I’m over the control scheme, but I still get frustrated when I’m firing endlessly at a charging enemy, waiting for him to go down and he doesn’t. Wouldn’t be so bad if I could jump out of the way, but the best you can do is quickly turn 180 degrees and run in the same direction. Makes little-to-no-sense to me. I’m also having a bit of a hard time with the enemies that can take 3 or 4 shotgun blasts at point-blank range before flinching.
Other than those issues - radtastic! I’m on chapter 5-2 I believe. Just saw some familiar faces, and witnessed a nice throwback to RE2.

GAME is pretty much my last resort for game purchases, and today I remembered why. Sneaky tactics like hiding normal editions of games in the stock room, having only special editions — which are considerably more expensive — on display. It didn’t escape me, a regular video game consumer, but the more casual shopper could easily be fooled.
Oh, and the fact that every time I shop there my gender is somehow brought into it. “You would love Skyrim, you can play AS A GIRL!”. Not forgetting the time I queued for Crackdown and was greeted with “This isn’t a very feminine choice”.
I’d much rather throw my cash at the independent dealers, or even GameStation. Yes, I know GameStation was bought by GAME a few years ago, but there seems to be a huge difference in the attitudes of staff. GAME is run by suits. Sneaky, sexist suits.
Ugh.
Hmm. Uhh. Yeah. Skyrim. It’s massive. The quests are never-ending. My character has a mohawk. My class is Breton. Don’t follow me on Twitter if you want to hear zilch about this game. 300 alleged hours of gameplay? I’m being quite sensible, though, and still juggling life responsibly. Just.
