Resident Evil 5 ships 4 million copies worldwide

Who said gameplay was more important than graphics??

!

I have to say that getting through on Amateur solo was even frustrating. Argh but awwwww shiny.

I have the game waiting for me at home with plans to cruise through a good part of it this weekend. After the demo it was an easy buy, it seems to build directly off RE4, easily in my top ten favorite games. I think the controls are fantastic, the graphics are gorgeous, and it seems like classic, top-notch RE gameplay.

Pretty... Is all I have to say. My girlfriend tries to play it but she gets panicked and freaked out, so she tosses me the remote and watched me play :)

My friend bought this and we played through it all night. It was awesome and I don't care what any reviews say. We were laughing and yelling and running and screaming (in anger, not fear), and running some more. Fun fun, I'd do it again in a second.

Seriously, co-op needs to be in every game.

Wouldn't 4 million shipped still equal 4 million sales for them..?

I think I'm gonna rent to try it out for it coopness fun. Never really played Resident Evil before

I don't actually have the game yet because I was undecided as to getting it or not. The demo using the co-op kinda put me off but knowing that I can go solo throughout is a plus for me. I'll pick it up on Wednesday or Thursday if things work out as planned.

The key to this game is to play it with a friend. Not by yourself. It's a hell of a lot fun when you have another human playing with you. Just not so much when you have an AI partner.

This game truly is great. Who cares if it doesn't control like Dead Space? Resident Evil is always great, and it's great to hear that lots of people think the same way.

I've been playing it SP with the xbox partner and my god she gets on my nerves! (The buddy I was supposed to play it with bailed on me) That being said, if you like RE4, this is even better. And more shotgunny.

I've been seeing advertisements nonstop for this game on television. The commercial is half decent too, aside from the in game grunting that goes along with the gameplay.

Anyways, shipped =/= sold (like Jason said). If we start seeing GH3 and RE5 store specific bundles then we know the game flopped.

I enjoyed it, especially with a friend on coop. Still haven't beaten the boss at the end. I can't figure out what to do. Great game nevertheless.

Too bad Crapcom still wants to charge for the versus multiplayer. Thats rape if you ask me.

Very fun game, worth the money. A lot better than a lot of titles out there. Doesn't deserve some of the criticism it gets.

I played a few hours of this over the weekend single player and thought it was fantastic. I really think the reviewers are nitpicking and putting the game up against unbeatable expectations.

I'm much happier with it being an action game, as I have no desire to play "survival horror". I want pleanty of ammo and awesome graphics and a good story arc... and it looks to me like that's what I got.

Don't understand the control bitching either. I'm not having trouble with stopping while I shoot. Seems to work just fine, as the AI has obvisouly been designed with this in mind. So what's the problem?

Granted, I'm playing on the Rookie level as this is my first full playthrough of an RE game. But it seems to me like there are always plenty of "breathers" where you can adjust your inventory just fine. And the quick shortcuts to 4 slots makes it easy to do the most neccessary things during combat quickly.

The game seems to have that typical Capcom polish to me. Which is to say it plays great, looks great, and has interesting characters, but is a little dicey in the dialog department. Voice acting seems very well done for the main characters as well.

I think people expect too much out of these things... it can't be exactly what each person wants, because different people want different things. In this case, it's pretty much exactly what I wanted.

This game is one of the best co-op games I've ever played. It's really intense. That's the best way to describe it. Just really, really intense, and almost everything is done to drive it to being an intense game. Lots of times you'll just be backed into corners, with little ammo, just you, your friend, and about 20 bullets to ratio in between you while a swarm of African natives want to impale your face.


It's like RE4, but with a friend!

Also, so everyone is aware, if you liked RE5, you should like this game. It's pretty much the same game, but with co-op and Africa.

It's not Gears of War. It's not even like Gears of War. it's like RE4.

Oh, sure... I'm not saying they shouldn't point these things out.

I'm just saying I feel like many of them are knocking it down because it's not a survival horror game. It should be scored based on it's own merits, not whether it is exactly the same genre and style of play as the first game.

I just feel like many of the reviews are ignoring the fun factor, intensity, and amazing graphics and production values, and instead giving negative reviews based on the small things that don't even bother me at all. Like I said, those things should be mentioned (as they really ARE important to some of course), but I don't think this could possibly deserve less than an 8. I would personally give it a 9 or even 9.5.

This was in response to Anan's response to my comment above.

I don't even know why I try to Reply on Joystick. It seriously only works half the time. There is something wrong with it...

I love the game, yeah it feels stiff (kinda like Gears 1 when talking to delta over the radio)compared to other games but its still a shitload of fun and its gorgeous.

**SPOILERS**

The boss fight where your in the back of the truck with the 2 turrets fighting that huge ass monster looked damn impressive. Props to Capcom the game is really fun and thats what matters to me. It's not scarry at all though. Go into it with an action game mentality instead of classic RE and you'll love it. I did and I do! :)

Co-op is sweet too, if your buddy knows what they're doing.
