>RE4 is not survival horror is all. It's just basically a template for any game that someone might like of it's kind.

>Unless it also did actually sell ink rolls then it's still gay. Also, talking fast moving zombies in the daylight. Come on now. It's not creepy. The point of it was to be creepy not action. Action is not horror.

>Speaking of the majority, everyone and their mother liked re4. It's like battlefront or diablo. They copy such a format, mechanics, to get guaranteed shekels. Liking re4 is like liking capeshit movies. It's just bottom of the barrel in regards to taste.
I played RE4 at the time it came out, and i remember loving it, even though i acknowledged the fact that it wasn't Resident Evil nor a survival horror game at all, but an action game with the RE name slapped on it.
The game even drops all pretenses of being an horror game right in the middle of the game when you start fighting zombies with fucking machine guns.
I loved it back then because it was the first game to do the whole over-the-shoulder action gameplay which was something never seen before back then, so it was a fresh and new experience compared to any other game of that time.
As the time went on though, i started changing my opinion on it negatively, because it became the reason the industry bacame so dull and stale as we are still seeing the stale RE4 formula being shamelessly pushed in every fucking game still to this day, almost 20 fucking years later.
RE4 did not just kill the series but possibly the industry as a whole.
They even raped the good old RE2 and 3 just to turn them into a carbon copy of 4.

>Nearly all RE games have tank controls, including newer ones like Village, despite it not making sense due to the camera limitations/issue of the first three games being solved by RE4 and onward.
I always found people who shit on "classic" meaning "true" RE games for its tank controls while praising all the shit from 4 onwards to be absolute morons, as they don't even realize that in modern RE games the characters STILL move with tank controls, only from a different (shit) perspective.
