This is secretly a top 3 resi game, mainly from Chris’ excellent character development of running from boulders to punching them.

Damnit, I knew I forgot to mention something. What a beautiful character arc in his involvement of boulders.

[@Puremindgames]

I've just finished my RE Marathon(as I do every new Mainline RE release), I've always been of the opinion that RE5 is better than RE4 and having played 0-7 back to back, I still say it's better, even if Sheva can get a little heal happy if she doesn't have a full heal, or Trigger Happy in stealth sections and the Jill fight instead of just trying to rip it off, made me miss the trophy. I feel like I'm the only one who never figured out it was Jill before the reveal. The game looks weird without the filter.

[@mtb5431]

Honestly wish they’d just killed Jill off in RE5. I’m a huge Jill fan but Capcom’s just given her the shaft since RE5 and I’d rather she die a hero then just fade into obscurity.

[@Puremindgames]

@@mtb5431 What about Rebecca? She's been MIA for longer, the problem is there's a lot of characters they can't all be in every game and Jill got her own game in RE Revelations after RE5, which wasn't that bad, but it was in the era of CAPCOM trying to 'mericfy their games. To be fair, Chris, Leon and Ada where in RE6 so Jill was speard that embarisment.

[@mtb5431]

@Puremindgames I didn’t really like Rev1 but your right about Rebecca. She definitely deserves some love too. I hate how they handled her character in Vendetta. Rumor is she will be the protagonist in the possible Rev3. I really hope that’s true.

Most of the things you complained about sheva can be solved if you don't give her any gun, also a great tip if you are planning on playing on professional since enemies won't target her.

[@marianoyuba3736]

@@BoulderPunch Yes, in general, while this brings up the colors a great deal, it does come at the expense of contrast (the image looks pretty "flat" and overall darkness (or any, in the case of the cave). It looks like Fortnite and, though visually appealing, lacks (in my opinion, of course) the particular tone and grittiness of RE5. Actually, the choice of colors and filters, together with some GREAT graphics and models, is one of the things that keeps this game looking amazing after all this time.

[@LeoMidori]

@@marianoyuba3736 I dunno, I wasn't fond of the "poverty lighting" or "third world colors" that they used. It doesn't look good in movies, and it didn't look good here either. It's like I'm looking at it through a thin pane of slightly green glass when there's really no reason to not make the lighting, or lack thereof, of the environments shine. You could argue that 4's overall grey/brown tones might've carried over in a different way in this one, which is honestly one of my "this game succeeds in spite of this, not is better because of it" sticking points.

Yeah, I know it's obviously been said but I do think it's definitely a shame that your mod must've done that. Because yeah, in the base game it actually is pitch black without the light, and your mini-map doesn't work, so you literally NEED the light. And I agree that filters don't always work well but I have to say I think this game looks significantly better with the filter, without it it's honestly too colorful, they look like plastic, and as someone else said "fortnite-esque".

I think it DEFINITELY would have benefited from a merchant to buy/upgrade, sell, or stow items during missions. As it is, how you do all these things is held off after missions... or you can immediately reach this store by dying if you really need to. I finished this game for the first time just recently, and this struck me as a really odd design choice because it can sometimes ENCOURAGE someone to die on purpose if they want to get to the store screen to buy or stow away items.

It's still an excellent game, made me fond for the melodrama and the cast, and I'm always revisiting it every few years. I, too, would really like to see Sheva again, she's a solid character and unfairly shafted. Hopefully she'll get to come around again sometime. Also, this game had so many memeable moments, Jesus. It's absolutely the very best in regards to Resident Evil's melodrama. Boulders, Wesker, and blonde hair baybeeee

[@mtb5431]

Everyone who isn’t Chris and Leon has gotten the shaft in the recent years sadly.

[@Gruntvc]

I think the hate for Sheva is not due to her character, but because of her not great partner AI when playing RE5 single player. And I did really like RE5 at launch too. 100% everything except the Versus crap. I'd give RE5 a solid 9/10. RE4 and RE1 Remake get 10/10 for reference. I'm already missing this combat mechanics in Village. The combat is just too clunky compared to the nirvana flow of RE4 or RE5.

[@adamdavis1737]

Honestly I prefer 5 over 4 I feel like re4 has pacing issues and really drags on from the castle segment onward. I also had no investment in the plot of re4 since it has little all to do with the overall story in the series Five felt like a more streamlined version of four without a lot of the fluff. And despite how ridiculous it gets, at least it wrapped up the main plot Arc from the first game onward Plus mercenaries mode was a blast to play alone or with a friend

[@AndreVBr]

hmm idk brother, re5 might be my personal favorite but 4 is objectively better. The maps are iconic and memorable, where 5's are just ok/good, except 2-3, that god-damned on rails section, that shit is just so boring. Also 3-3's boss fight against irving is pretty weak compared to del lago.

[@adamdavis1737]

@@AndreVBr I'm in no way trying to state one is objectively better. Was just saying I ended up preferring 5 as the kind of fan I suppose of both RE and games in general that I am. I agree with all your points. Boss fights in 5 all around kind of suck as far as creativity goes.

[@LandonViizual]

I agree. Honestly it's one of the best games in the series. If they just fixed up the AI a bit, reworked the turrent sections and maybe have Jill have more impact on the story (by having her join Chris after being saved and killing wesker with him), I think this game would be a near masterpiece.

[@adamdavis1737]

@@LandonViizual definitely. As it stands, it's not quite up there in design with the best RE titles But the amount of fun I had playing and replaying it over and over again certainly matches those games, if not surpassed for at least a little while.

@@LandonViizual the game would definitely benefit from having a new chapter between 5 and 6 where you make your way to the ship and Jill is doing something similar to what Josh does at 3-2 and 3-3.

RE 5 has always been one of my favorites, it has just the right amount of stupid shit to be entertaining but not quite to the level being too much like what RE 6 did for me. Edit: also the lighting in the cave is either due to the filter being removed or something with the PC version, at least on PS3 and XBox 360 it's almost pitch black without the light. The Wesker boss fight and the game in general is also much darker, helping a lot with the atmosphere.

[@antondelacruz9362]

This was easily the most fun RE game. Very polished coop and action mechanics compared to RE4. RE4 had better storytelling and atmosphere and was still trying to be survival horror. I never got far in the first 3 REs because the tank controls were the cause of most of the tension and deaths. Nothing like taking 5 seconds to turn around when something fast and deadly pops up behind you. The RE4/5/6 perspective and controls couldve easily been used in a proper survival horror experience or any other type of story, but the producers only had bullets and dollar signs in their minds when making 5 and 6, so eschewed horror for action. But i dont see the change in interface as necessitating a change in tone. I would happily replay the first 3 REs or any more horror-focused RE if they had RE4 style controls. Also Sheva was rendered to be so hot and had a perfectly cast voice. It is a crime that she hasnt returned. Chris hitched himself to Jill too quickly.

Very good video. RE5 is not my favorite game of the series, but I really enjoy playing it and weirdly, it's the one I have spent the most hours on, trying to get ss rank on every characters in mercenaries

[@BlackiechanFu]

I barely subscribed a few days ago, but it feels like I've been waiting a long time for you to make this one!

[@michaelsalty853]

Honestly, RE 5 without the green filter looks Borderlands-like. I do much prefer the looks and feels with the filter on, but it's interesting to see such a colorful version of the game. However, the cave segment, with lantern mechanic, makes more sense with the filter because it is actually dark on it's own. You cannot play comfortably without the help of a light source.

[@medalgear654]

It’s so hilarious that RE5 was being accused of racism when in the previous game all the antagonists were white lmao

[@e4unow421]

The most legendary aspect of Resident Evil 5 is DC Douglas voicing Albert Wesker.

[@tigerishrumble7976]

This is my biggest guilty pleasure in RE lol Just love the game 10/10 for me

[@playingmusiconmars]

Weskers mutation has made him be a lot more theatralic throughout it's phases - from "chris - stop it." to "CHRIIIIIIS!"

[@unsavourylittlerunt]

13:18 It's worth mentioning that the filter removal mod not only also removes a few other post processing effects from what I've seen, but also changes the contrast, making darker areas (due to shadows, mainly) lighter, you can even tell it makes Sheva's hair color appear lighter in the Irving cutscene from a little earlier Edit: I see it even removes the rocket launcher scope texture from the cutscene over at 24:24 XD

[@razielvalentine4076]

Yeah. Tbh I don’t understand why ppl use these. They ruin the artistic design of the game.

[@jamjam445]

The turret section followed by the El Gigante fight on professional was rage inducingly challenging

[@Aeonsmagicks]

This Boulder punching asshole! I still remember the hype behind re5. Me and my friends downloaded the demo(which was the part with the chainsaw guy where you send sheva ahead to go around and open the door for chris.) That was an amazing time and playing RE5 with my friends was honestly one of the best times of my life. Such an enjoyable experience with friends!

[@zombieplasticclock]

Man your review makes me wanna go through this game again. Re5 was and still is a fun action game, even better in co-op. It's just not a great Resident Evil game, right?

I avoided saying that, but yes.

I really feel that Capcom managed to hit the sweet spot between action, tension and great gameplay that started with 5 and ended with Revelations 2; every game in between was unbearable/just made you want to return to 4 or anything before it.

[@charlieomeara1856]

I loved RE5! I anticipated a true sequel to Code Veronica & the building Chris/Wesker rivalry. I think that’s the best part of it, & weskers the best villain. The guy I love to hate. Enjoyed the fight scenes & Chris becoming all hulked up after wesker whopped him in last game. Yeah here & there it’s a lil boring/imperfect @ times. It’s got the best mercenaries game of em all! Better than 4! Wesker as your main villain is more than enough reason to love this one! Or play 4 & face who? Salazar? Krause? Whatever boulder punching was a lil stupid yeah, but this is still a great game & top 10 resident evil title!

[@charlieomeara1856]

Resident 6 sucks! , resident evil survivor sucks ! Operation raccoon city sucks ! Umbrella corps sucks! Gaiden sucks ! Dead aim sucks! I’ll even say umbrella & darkside chronicles suck! (Retelling stories cash grab!) .. but Resident Evil 5 does NOT suck. The end.

I felt so disappointed in this game when it first came out. I grew up with the originals and 4 was (and still is) my favorite game of all time so of course I felt let down. I recently bought it on the PS4 and absolutely loved it. I left my preconceived notions behind and just decided to have fun and I really did.

[@iori1303]

RE5 and Army of Two are two of the best split screen co-op games ever made, sadly you dont see those kind of games anymore because they sell more copies if the co-op is only possible in online mode and every player has to purchase his own copy. Miss the times chillin with friends, eating junk with gallons of energy drinks and playing the shit out of these games. Nowadays you sit alone in front of a game and the only socual contact is through your headset or ingame chat.

if the mod to turn off the piss yellow filter makes the game look like alpha footage, id gladly keep the filter on. it looks devoid of most light sources.
