Wow, I feel so left out for not having played Resident Evil 4 & 5... Sad

I did like the RE4 chainsaw controller for the GameCube, though. In fact, I nearly bought it.

Anyone ever play Resident Evil: Gaiden on the GBC? That one was pretty good for a portable system before the DS.

Meh, RE4 is still a weak game.

not really. If you don't have some sort of sales numbers of negative reviews to back this up, you can say that it isn't a game that you enjoy, but that doesn't make it weak.

Last I checked it was rather popular and very successful.

I kinda liked Gaiden for what it was, though I was pissed we didn't get the remake of RE1 for the GBC. The story line was pretty dumb and I'm glad it's not canon. It's an interesting concept at least.

I was actually talking about the quality of the game itself, not its success. Only a crazy person would call it weak in terms of sales or critical reception!

To each his own, eh?

again, you can't really state the game as weak. YOU might not like the gameplay, but I, and many others, sure enjoyed it. some of us might even consider it rather strong.

army of two, dark sector, and kane and lynch can be called weak games. not resident evil 4.

so in the terms of "to each his own", you should have said "I didn't like the game".

Yeesh man, did I have to specify that every post prior to this involved my own opinion? I wouldn't see a problem with something along the lines of, "It's a weak game in accordance to my own opinion, but to each his own." But then again, stating the obvious isn't necessarily my thing.

If somebody stated "Star Wars sucks" they would be ostracized, because they are clearly wrong. This is no different.

Guys, this isn't a Resident Evil arguement thread. Shut the fuck up about it already.

We need a proper Barry N' Leon bromance game.

Or maybe Barry, Chris, and Jill. And a pizza place.

I always thought it'd be cool if they made a Resident Evil Kart Racing game.

The Merchant could be their recurring character, who just shows up for a few laughs.

I wonder how long I would last if I went into topics and told YOU to shut the fuck up all the time.

Haha, that would be entertaining. Although, I think there are several franchises that could have a pretty good Kart racing game.

Posted: Aug 27 2010 08:56 pm

Any franchise that has iconic characters, locations, and items that can be used for weapons should have a kart racing game.

Bioshock... I just realized that while I beat it, I didn't fully like it.

Posted: Aug 27 2010 09:26 pm

Earthworm Jim, i loved it and thought it was awesome but i finally beat it a few years ago and everyone turned into a cow. I just stared at the tv and was like uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh wat

I just got an image of Link in a go-kart tossing bombs and boomerangs at passersby.

Yeah, why didn't Nintendo make their uber-crossover series a kart-racing game?

And Mr. Lexia, technically Motor Kombat was a part of Mortal Kombat: Annihilation on the Wii. I don't know if you already knew that, but there it is.

cause if they made it a kart racing game, we wouldnt have SSB, and then the world would implode.

it would be cool to see bonus guys in a mario kart game, though.
