That was one of the things I really liked about Sheva's design as well. I thought that the weapon models and animations were just mirrored until I picked up an MP5. That, along with the buddy vibes she just gave off almost all the time. The devs didn't need to do much with dialogue, since cooperative play is so baked into the gameplay loop, but it definitely made me feel like she's someone's who's got my back.

[@okupant880]

The reason why Chris is so buff is the beatdown he got in Code Veronica. His nemesis came back to life as a inhumanly strong superfast monster with cool glowing eyes. I would hit the gym like a madman too, just to get any conceivable edge. I mean, Weskers strong AF now, but he doesn't weigh more, probably, so I can still lift him and throw him if I am strong enough.

[@jeremy8189]

You might be a bio engineered super vaguely human monster...... but do you even lift? 😅 💪

[@Greendawn-di3dl]

Is he the same weight? I assumed there was some sorta biomass shinanigans making them more dense; like that explosion of flesh whenever any of them transform has to be bundled in there somewhere. I know rapid mutation is the reason; but rapid mutation still would need flesh and energy or else it would just instantly drain and kill you.

[@khululyp]

Interesting theory, but there is a better one. In the pool room in REmake there is a poster for an arm wrestling contest. It is clear that this inspired Chris to have some competition during the RnR after the first game.

[@marcusclark1339]

he wasn't ever his nemesis its just a cheap thing added in now

[@okupant880]

I was saying the last sentence from a conceivable Chris PoW. But they are each others nemesis after Code Veronica. On one side theres the guy who blames the other for ruining his plans with the tyrant in re 1 and basically leaving him in isolation with no leverage to join a competitor of umbrela. And on the other is the dude who rightfuly so blames the other for murdering like 85% of their outfit for an experiment, trying to kill him, trying to kill his sister, leaving him to fight a superpowered monster chick and giving him a memoeable beatdown before leaving. This is generalised, but all of this happened before re5 so the whole nemesis thing is there already.

[@nolanstrife7350]

My take is whoever dislikes RE5 never played the co-op. This is legitimately one of the best co-op games I've ever played, because, despite it being rather simplistic, it has been designed very well around the idea of two players interracting with each other Tag team combos, assists and saves, occasional splitting up the players, bosses designed for two players (for example, Wesker and the first Ouroboros encounter) Despite being a massive introvert, I absolutely love co-op games. 2-player story mode ones especially, like RE5 and Clandestine. It gives you this feeling of camaraderie. Like you are back-to-back with someone you can trust will cover and assist you when it matters the most. And, well... My go-to game when I really want to feel that way is Resident Evil 5

[@raidengoodman8754]

I hope the remake has a dedicated Wesker mode in the campaign for you to just wreak havoc like RE0. Also i always thought he didn’t seem to move all that fast when you play him vs fighting him.

The boulder punch kind of makes sense... My laugh at it is that a punch isn't gonna do more than throwing your shoulder into it. I get it is to move the boulder but punching it is a bit ridiculous in light of a better option... That's what makes it dangerously cheesy like Cheetos.

[@wrayday7149]

The worst part of that is the coop mode... they never ever told the player that Sheva's hanging on moment was rhythm based.... not button mash. It's the ONLY time in the game where that is the case and they reuse the mash prompt. If you mashed the buttons she falls and you game over. So the the boulder puncher need to get thru that segment as fast as humanly possible to avoid it. Needless to say, people got to see a whole hell of a lot of boulder punching in coop.

I will always love this game. Always. I played through it on each difficulty with my best friend and its some of the best memories I have of playing a co-op game. We played through RE6 the same way and it was also a blast. Especially making fun of the silly story but the gameplay was still enjoyable. He went missing in February 2013. Those memories are all ive got of him but it makes RE5 and RE6 very special to me no matter how silly and over the top they are. Great vid Gman and I appreciate that you love the game as well. I hope youll do a video on RE6 sometime too. Even though its story is absolute dog shit and its Ada clone villain plotline is so bloody ridiculous!

[@tyrel5150]

Agreed. You have made me regret not ever tapping into the Mercenaries Mode tho. I preordered this game when it came out, got a 360 exclusively to play this game, skipped school to play it, and replayed the story a dozen times. But never even played mercenaries enough to unlock anything. I repent!! I still have the Gold Edition so Imma get on that. Love your content as always.

[@tinybass8747]

For your point at 25:27 it occasionally spawns these flying bugs that are really easy to kill and almost always drop grenades, I went into that boss fight with no grenades and didn't have much issues just avoiding its attacks and waiting for it to spawn more of em so I could just keep picking up grenades from them,

[@ryangosling6249]

I had a blast playing this in coop over and over. The setting was also very fresh and made this one a unique experience. This and especially 6 definitely deserve much more praise, because they were the peak of the series. No wonder the remakes are much more successful than the sequels...

[@Drpepperspray1010]

I never understood the hate for re5. I swear people just hate on good games sometimes just because it’s trendy

[@El.Duder-ino]

Awesome review as always - thank u "brotha"😂

[@detaineepyramid]

14:32 oh Kernkraft 400, such magical times you were/are. Beautiful.

[@jlb9577]

I remember borrowing RE5 off a friend in highschool. I got close to the end but got stuck at the double minigun guys with no ammo. Gave it back to my mate after a week never finishing it. Fast forward about 10 years and i saw a copy on xbox 360 for the grand price of £2.99. Absolute no brainer, bought it and spent a few days smashing through it on every difficulty and had a blast. Thoroughly underrated game. A remake would be fun, but the OG holds up.

[@mycuteb]

6 was definitly worse

[@softcuddlydragoness]

@@blaketindle4703 Way way more worse!

[@12ealDealOfficial]

Good game, but way too much dudes shooting dudes. Got a little stale. Needed more monster encounters and maybe less combat overall. It dragged on. Also found the inventory system to be a little confusing.

[@Jetstreamsamdidnothingwrong]

6 had a pretty good Mercenaries mode tho

[@conradhamilton9122]

6 was worse but not bad

[@richardroberts2457]

0:46 - 0:49 ...I was laughing so hard I Pierced my Brosnan.

[@monocat4728]

This video thumbnail immediately hooked me LMAO

[@major_lag2643]

I never understood why so many people hated this game. Yea punching a boulder was dumb but it’s already seen as a classic

[@Ihavethetouch]

QuickTime events, making the game far more of a shooter than 4 was, uncharismatic main characters... It's RE4 but done far worse

[@dethofgod666]

​@@Ihavethetouch qtes were just the thing for the time it's like people bitching about tank controls on the originals. Without them they'd be bitching calling it a walking simulator with too many cutscenes

[@DylanODon1]

​@@Ihavethetouch Uncharismatic main character that's just you opinion man and I disagree whole heartily.

[@Ihavethetouch]

@@dethofgod666 Just because other games have them doesn't mean they had to be there. Walking simulator? I thought you were supposed to shoot the zombies and other monsters. This isn't a Metal Gear game, the game doesn't have many cutscenes

[@TheShocker650]

​@@IhavethetouchRE 4 was already a full on shooter with horror sprinkled in as an easter egg. Not saying that the game is bad, but it's not horror no matter how much some people like to pretend that it is.

[@fictionforeternity8926]

The main criticism I have besides the coop thing, is the inventory system because it’s a straight up down grade from an assortment of space and management to literally 9 squares, and I pray to god the inventory system in the RE5R is a straight copy and paste of RE4R.

[@DownVolt]

Not possible if it's a co-op game RE5's inventory is straight up a version of RE1's inventory but designed for co-op. You can't afford to spend too much time navigating in it so they made it so that you can equip anything in less than a second with the right shortcuts, it's a pleasure to use when you're used to it. It's one of the reasons why Mercenaries mode is so loved RE4R's inventory is also one of the reasons why Mercenaries mode couldn't be co-op, because they had to change the inventory to do so

[@MrCtmcclain]

This is good to know. Hopefully this gets a remastered treatment like the more recent resident evil games have been getting. I do plan to check this out. Thanks for the video\ review GmanLives!

That thumbnail is epic!

[@danaugust993]

That thumbnail is a work of art.

[@robp5141]

One of the best thumbnails of all time

[@kborton99]

That thumbnail is amazing😂

[@MxLee192]

Great memories playing this split screen Co op on the PS3 with a friend. Happy times!

[@nicholasbates7826]

The 3rd and final section of the sun beam puzzle had my 10 year old brain back in 09 baffled.

[@LoneWolfie]

What I find insanely interesting is that some of the things you listed as negatives (the QTE's and bosses) are the main reasons RE5 is my favorite game in the series. And I love that RE5 has so much to offer that even having such different opinions on it we still both enjoy it!

[@i3l4ckskillzz79]

played it coop with a good friend two years ago. we had a blast

[@Master-hunter2000]

That boulder mission tho

[@arrownoir]

My favorite weapon is the bow. Hunting headshots with it without the reticle is always satisfying. It’s also incredibly overpowered.

[@Money_Shot-j8u]

Always loved this game. Played it on the 360 back in the day with my brother doing some classic split screen co-op. We stayed up all night completing the campaign.

[@deinonychusben]

That thumbnail. Oh my freaking God! 🤣
