Funny thread.

Captain America was assainated by a gunman on the steps of court when he was being taken in for charges during the Superhero Civil War (Cap was on the side that said 'no' to being registered). So it was a joke at that paticular death. Of course, as with all Marvel Heroes, He Got Better. I believe he's currently retired as Captain America and is in charge of SHIELD or somesuch right now. Captain America is one of my least favorite heroes, so I tend not to follow what he's doing too closely.

Same here, I've read the comic since 2003. I don't understand today's strip though. I'm only happy that it mentions characters from RE, which doesn't happen often.

I like CAD. Yes, I know, much mockery due to actual serious storyline, etc. I still find it amusing enough to read.

I don't understand this but it has RE in it.

He's got a point though. I call bullshit on essentially charging twice as much for a digitial version of a game because we happen to be in the UK too. I mean, I guess games companies might have to fork over additional taxes here, but still...twice as much?

[Mr. Spencer]

So I'm reading through the EU PlayStation blog as I often do, checking on the latest store update and what should I see?

Dear god. I cannot escape this man's complaining, hahahahaha.

RE5 would not exist in the form it is today without RE4.

That's my reply.

[Wrathborne]

Ah I see now.

Well the reason I hated RE5 was...

A: It was a remake of RE4 in game design. There was nothing new really added here except co-op, and most of the time Sheva is leading the retard parade in the Darwin even in the Olympics.

B: They got rid of the horror completely and it was 100% action now. Yeah RE4 did this as well, but they did keep the some of the classic horror elements and the game itself had a pretty grim atmosphere. RE5 starts in the middle of a sunny day for gods sakes. A BRIGHT FUCKING SUNNY DAY! Unless yer an albino without suntan lotion or shade that's not scary.

C: The characters in the game. New characters can be forgiven, but Wesker, Chris, and Jill all feel like completely different characters in this game.What is their relationship with each other after a decade anyways? Are they just poker buddies or what?

Yeah they didn't have too much personality to begin with, but what they are in this game doesn't match the previous bits of character we all knew. Wesker is the one whose changed the most. Going from Machiavellian schemer to Bond villain is just strange.

We all knew sooner or later he was gonna take center stage but this isn't even close to the same character we've all enjoyed for a decade.

And what the fuck is the deal with him getting his powers from vitamin B shots now? Didn't he originally use the T-virus on himself? I mean yeah, they never explained what he used to get his powers but I'd assume whatever he;d use would be permanent.

D: Control scheme. played it on the 360, fucking hated it.Nuff said.

E: The inventory system. It sucks balls, it makes no sense and the Kevlar vest breaks the laws of physics. How can you wear it but still have it take up a slot in your inventory? HOW!?

I know why they chose this inventory system and all, but it just sucks.

F: The flashing screen upon your health being in 'Danger'. Why did they have to do this? Do they have to make everyone an epileptic or something?

G: The rushed story. Its the whole 'end of the world' concept, yeah that could be cool but here...it doesn't build up to this really. It doesn't feel like a threat(least to me). I mean yeah in RE4 the cult was kind of doing the same thing, but they were on a smaller scale.

In this game it changes from 'Stop Wesker from being bad' to 'OK, now you have to save the world'. Once you enter the 'Save the world' part of a story everything changes.

This is where logic kicks in and you realize that realistically the US, or China, or Russia, or UN would just nuke the fuck out of Kijuju or have all kinds of aircraft in the skies bombing the fuck out of the place.

Maybe I'm over analyzing this some(comes with being a screenwriter) but this isn't like in RE4 where you have to save the Presidents daughter and are protecting her.

This would realistically be send the whole mother fucking army in and use the nuke as plan B if the problem cant be contained(in which case it wouldn't).

Yeah the stories in the last 2 games have been different and logic and reality have and haven't been kicking in on them. I guess we as the player/audience end up suffering more trying to figure it out.
