So i was just reading on eurogamer that this game had gotten a new piece of DLC, and i started thingking

Did anyone here like the game? i found it to be a barely decent game, and i haven't been able to ring myself to finish it.

Stopped playing it after 2-3 hours in, it was fairly entertaining, just got caught up on other games, I'll finish it some day.

Rented it, played it for a few minutes until the first confrontation with the villagers, died against the chainsaw dude I think, 'paused' the game, turned it off and never bothered to turn it back on and then shipped that sucker back to Gamefly after holding on to it for longer than I should have.. It's not that I didn't enjoy the game, it's just that my gaming habits have taken a major hit as of late and unless a game REALLY grabs me right from the get-go then chances are I won't put much time into them until I get my proverbial crap together. Must...find...my...mojo...again.

I do plan on picking up Resident Evil 5 again in the near future, but right now I think my attention span is better served with short, immediately gratifying games, lol.. i.e. shoot 'em ups and platformers. :D

I hate it when this happens.  I bought Resident Evil 5 used for a good price and was enjoying it.  The initial villagers/chainsaw dude is pretty hard, but after that the game eases up.  Anyway I played through to about 2 or 3 chapters away from finishing the game, then I got Demon's Souls.  I played that game for a looooong time while RE5 just sat there.  I didn't really even have much interest in turning it back on until a guy I know from another forum asked if I'd like to play through the chapters I hadn't finished yet with him (he had beaten the game already).  I accepted and finished the game with him.

Overall I'd say the game is pretty good, but nowhere near as good as Resident Evil 4.  I do not understand why Chris Redfield's arms are the size of tree trunks.  His neck, too.  Wasn't he fairly normal (skinny) in a previous game?  Anyway that same friend and I plan on going through the Nightmare Within DLC or whatever it is called this weekend.

I guess that he was jealous of Tyrant. Probably injected some of the virus. 

I enjoyed it but the inventory system pissed me off and Sheva was fucking retarded.
