And an obligatory chick with large amounts of cleavage. There’s still an inconsequential villain with an incredibly annoying voice who shows up entirely too often. Wesker still smirks and cackles and wears bad suits. They’ve increased their ability to at least a middle-school level of competence. They no longer write like fifth graders who happened to catch an episode of Buffy. I do have to give Capcom credit for having finally improved their writing skills.
The un-originality extends through every aspect of the game, from design to script. Resident Evil 5 is about as original as my writing a review for it. Capcom has officially run out of steam on the Resident Evil series. If you answered Resident Evil 5, you’d also be correct. If you answered Resident Evil 4, you’d be correct. What’s foreign, angry, and has a thousand tentacles sprouting out of its head? Resident Evil 5 should’ve been littered with these kind of situations, but more often than not it opts for straight shoot outs.
For instance, sending a partner along a catwalk to draw the gun fire while I sneak closer and blow out the fox holes with a close up grenade or two. When trying to break through a barricade of machine gunners and vicious packs of dogs, I want the answer not to be “use a better rifle” but to be something more involved.
