    El entorno del juego es malo. Para el uso cambio de armas es muy difícil y los monstruos no tienen muchas variable. Jugabilidad pésima. No se compara con su versión anterior. Esperaba un poco más.

    I have played a bit of this on PS3 then on PC and it looks a lot better, especially the resolution causing the image to be more crisp instead of upscaled 720P.

I don't know why others complain about not being able to run and shoot when all the RE games have been like that, and it'll probably stay like that for quite a while.… Expand

    Сразу скажу, что одному играть нет смысла, абсолютно не те эмоции!
    Одна из лучших игр для ко-опа. Интересный, разнообразный, сложноватый геймлей. Хороший сюжет, интересные и эпичные кат-сцены, а QTE, которых 3-4 за игру, получились просто идеально, каждое доставляет массу удовольствия и каждому игроку нужно нажимать разные кнопки.
    Вообщем, обязательно берите напарника или проходите мимо.    Сразу скажу, что одному играть нет смысла, абсолютно не те эмоции!

    RE:5 Gold Edition.

    Esta versión incluye dos minicampañas del modo historia, que fueron añadidas en descargas de pago para videoconsola. Además de misiones y personajes extra en el modo mercenarios. Destacaré directamente la diferencia más notable con videoconsola. Si tu pc tiene suficiente potencia, esta versión es clarísimamente mejor versión que cualquiera aparecida en XBOX 360 o    RE:5 Gold Edition.

    Destacaré directamente la diferencia más notable con videoconsola. Si tu pc tiene suficiente potencia, esta versión es clarísimamente mejor versión que cualquiera aparecida en XBOX 360 o PS3.

    En videoconsola funcionaban a 720p y 30fps y en PC, pueden correr perfectamente a 1080p y 60fps estables. Claro que es un videojuego del 2010. Sin embargo técnicamente luce de maravilla.

    El sonido es en inglés pero puedes subtitularlo a castellano.

    El modo historia es bastante interesante, bien guionizado, y hay pocos "quick time events" aunque los hay.

    Quizás como punto un poco negativo, es el comportamiento de tu compañera de viaje, un poco más tosco de lo deseable, aunque tampoco resulta grave.

    Aparte del modo historia, tenemos el modo 'Mercenarios', el cual se trata de una contrarelog donde vas sumando puntos por 'estilo' y 'víctimas' antes de que consumas el tiempo...

    ...todo un reto, sobretodo en el modo (exclusivo en PC) "SIN PIEDAD", donde, directamente eres tu contra el mundo...

    ...una auténtica multitud, si multitud. Muy entretenido y dificil.

    Si eres fan de siempre de RE, no sé si te gustará, (he visto opiniones muy contrarias a este estilo de juego, distinto a los primeros) , personalmente el primero que jugué fue el RE Revelations, el cual me encantó, tras él prové este RE5 y sinceramente me ha encantado.    … Expand

    Following the footsteps of Resident Evil 4 this game is both a little better and a little worse. Still fun to play though annoying at times as it's predecessor.

    The story happens five years after the events in Resident Evil 4 and you play as Chris Redfield. You with your partner are sent to Africa to track down some bio-terrorist and the story goes from there. You encounter Las Plagas or some kind of it's mutation (was not really paying that much attention) that again turns people into zombie like creatures. Those are not as previously as zombies but you wouldn't tell a difference. Though would a zombie ride a bike? I think not. The story is pretty nice and takes you through a lot of well designed zones.

    On graphical side the game has much improved. From being dark and gray in previous title the pallet shifts to yellow and gray - thus quite nicely giving the African feel. The models are much better detailed and it's quite the step up comparing to the previous one.

    Gameplay has not changed all that much though there are changes. First of - they've added strafing - that helps a lot! Secondly as this game is mostly designed for co-op play you are stuck with a partner which wastes ammo, though heals you a lot making it really hard to die. It's a shame you can't play without the partner. The game structure at first really reminds of the previous game. You are thrown into the most hard part of the game within the first half an hour. At least that was my feeling.

    The weapon shops were removed in favour of what might be load-out menu that lets you store and buy items between levels - or when you die. The inventory system has been simplified a lot as well sadly. There are nine slots, no item stacking and arranging as previously. The weapons are pretty cool and feel nice. The electric rod however is so overpowered for regular zombies that it feels like game braking.

    As with previous game I did enjoy fighting zombies and doing QTEs - not so much keen on the boss fights. Though those might be a bit easier than in RE4. Still played till the end and had enough fun to recommend.    … Expand

    La historia no es nada poderosa, pero la mística del juego es alta, poder ver a wesker, la reaparición de Jill, son muy buenos momentos.

    El juego en sí no es nada difícil, excepto cuando quieres pasartelo en nivel profesional, ahi si que se sufre, un golpe o un disparo y quedas en estado agónico, que ahora se consume excesivamente rápido y sheva tendrá un segundo para poder curarte, el problema es que aquí si que se nota su torpeza que incluso estando a tu lado no te cura y mueres, es algo frustrante jeje.

    El juego si que tiene replay value, muchas armas por sacar, otras por comprar, tesoros por encontrar, emblemas de la bsaa, ofrece harto ahí, y de la nada empecé a querer sacar todos los logros y lo conseguí jaja.

    Bueno finalmente creo que para cualquiera que le gusta la Saga de RE debería jugarlo. Para quien busca un buen shooter en tercera persona con elementos de zombies, este también es una buena opción.

    Maybe my favorite Resident Evil/Bio Hazard title.

    Graphically it did a big jump forward from RE4 to 5. I also really enjoyed the African settings.
    With the US Air-force costume mod, Sheva even turns into my favorite RE chic!

    The only points I disliked were that you cant move while aiming and the late release of the DLC for the PC version.

The story itself turned out to be short and slightly skewed relative to the previous ones (played in 4 and 2 Remake). As for gameplay, it is not bad, especially for 2009, excellent cooperative-mode, one can say that one of the best for his time. The place of action of the game is Africa, and I think it had a negative impact on the schedule and design of the levels. Overall a good part of the series if you overcome yourself and do not leave the game in the first 2 hours.… Expand

    Resident Evil 5 is my least favorite RE game this far and I have played 0,1,CVX,4,5,7. More than that, the PC port is horrible.

This game is heavily dependent on cooperation and sometimes the AI who's working with you is being very stupid, like committing suicide, stopping attacking enemies or wasting all its ammunition, and I pass. There are a few boss fights that are interesting, and that's the only positive thing I found about this game. I could also mention the racism in the game. You are Chris Redfield, a white man now on steroids, in Africa and you punch black people to death. Black people in this game are pictured as being hostile, primitive, barbaric, even when not infested. You can't combine treasures anymore so it's a downgrade from RE4. The puzzles are repetitive, unoriginal. Sometimes it feels like a low-quality Zelda game instead of Resident Evil. As a long time Resident Evil fan, who can't wait for RE2 Remake, I DO NOT recommend RE5. You will be disappointed. 4 out of 10 from me.… Expand

    Zombie.

    See?! It just changed genres! What the hell! I was being chased by a bald guy in a trench coat earlier this morning, and now I'm chasing a longcoat-wearing blondie who wears sunglasses indoors!

    But what did you expect from a name like "Resident Evil"? It was acceptable with the first game, since it took place in a mansion. Then they moved to a whole city, and then a country; now it's set in the African continent, and we really should've gotten the memo with the second game.

    So, Resident Evil 5. What's new? Well, this is the first RE title with co-op; which means that you better play this with a friend, or suffer the consequences of an unreliable AI, which serves the same purpose as Lydia from Skyrim: carrying extra baggage. Do you remember how to conserve ammo in RE4? You either run through the ganado horde, or stagger them with a bullet, then come up close with the knife, right? Now there are new melee mechanics, where you can deal damage if you're close to a staggered (or grounded) enemy. Thanks to that, the knife has been relegated to the role of box cutter. The manual save typewriters and the item box had been replaced by a checkpoint system and end-chapter shop respectively. Overall, it's almost the same as RE4, with fine-tuned mechanics to support the faster-paced, action-oriented gameplay.

    And there you have it.    … Expand

    Resident Evil 5 was a letdown when it came out. It did not live up to the expectations built by the previous titles from the Resident Evil series, RE4 in particular. It derailed from its roots as one of the scariest video game series and took a cheesier and over the top action route, but in a horror setting.

    Graphics and sound are very good for its time and still hold up. More importantly, co-op is very good. No, this is not another example of “any game is better with co-op”. RE5 was designed to make co-op enjoyable and it is meant to play that way. On the other hand, there are quite a bit of the annoying QTEs, one of the most tedious gameplay mechanics ever invented. I would not say the story is very interesting and the ending drags a bit. However, the game keeps you engaged in the story, thanks to the awesome cinematics. There are many well made cutscenes in this game that are enjoyable to watch in their own Japanese exaggerated way.

    Overall, Resident Evil 5 is worth a co-op playthrough, especially if you approach it with expectations different from what you would set for a Resident Evil game, and try to enjoy it for what it is.

    PS: Don’t skip the "Lost in Nightmares" DLC. It plays like Resident Evil 1 and is overall a very good DLC, definitely better than the main game. Desperate Escape DLC, on the other hand, is nothing special.

    I remembered seeing this game in 2009 as a kid and was very impressed by the graphics. Then 11 years have passed and just only starting my campaign, thinking the graphics would somehow disappoint me. But turns out I was wrong, The appeal was still there like when I first saw it and it was fantastic.

    The story wasn't that exceptional and more like just a branch of the world of Resident Evil. There are also some turns of event that you can easily see far ahead from the start. Gameplay-wise, Combats & Controls wasn't that far from RE4. Sadly, manual savings were missing, which eliminate the purpose of backtracking: making the game very linear - level to level.

    I've only played this alone, so my experience with a companion is either hit or miss depending on the levels. This is a big improvement from Ashley to a partner who can actually help in combat. Item management is a bit different, And from my experience of it - It was between hard & annoying especially when you're overwhelmed by enemies. They also amp up the button sequence which I don't know what to feel about.

    Altogether, RE5 tried their best to tweak and improve some mechanics from RE4. However, this entry just lacks two things that make my whole experience bland: 1st - A whole cast of characters that wasn't even memorable. 2nd - Absence of horror elements. RE5 is a decent game of its own, It just doesn't have a soul of an RE game.    … Expand

    Some of the best action games to play coop, very different from the classic ps1 trilogy, if you are looking for classic puzzle and horror from the beginning of the series, this is not the ideal game. But it is still a great game with an exceptional villain, in my opinion it is worth checking out.

I will assure you, I'm not a beginner to FPS's on the PC by any means, yet I had nothing but difficulty with the controls and item interface. Another thing I found it odd is that my tricked out system, which ran the game at 60ish fps on full settings, seemed to produce "lag" when you turn your character from left to right. Then there is the constant lack of supplies (ammo, health etc). Which I guess should have expected this from the last resident evil I purchased. I can't comment the PS3 or 360 version, maybe they work. I find it somewhat funny that the enemies come at you in slow motion because if they attacked any faster you wouldn't be able to aim at them fast enough. I've played a lot of different PC games this year and this one ranks right up there with other terrible games like 'East India Company'. If you are a fan of poorly ported console games or you have played the previous ResEvil games on PC then I'm sure you will have no complaints. If you just want to shoot zombies, go buy Left for Dead. Honestly when I read all the official scores for this game on Metacritic I'm left a little bewildered.… Expand

The AI is lacking, be it friend or foe AI, so make sure to only play this game with another player, and not with the stupid friendly AI.… Expand

    Resident Evil 5 is a game I purchased on the PC for two reasons. First, I love Resident Evil, and second, at the time I didn't have any next-gen consoles (and my PC was top of the line). In some ways I feel lucky, as having later played it on the XBox 360, I found the PC version is a lot better looking, runs a bit smoother, and has some of the shortest load times I've ever seen. Truly,Resident Evil 5 is a game I purchased on the PC for two reasons. First, I love Resident Evil, and second, at the time I didn't have any next-gen consoles (and my PC was top of the line). In some ways I feel lucky, as having later played it on the XBox 360, I found the PC version is a lot better looking, runs a bit smoother, and has some of the shortest load times I've ever seen. Truly, this is still one of the most, if not the most, impressive bits of game programming I've come across, if nothing else.

    Moving forward, Resident Evil 5 is a game with its fair share of pros and cons. Overall I would say that, even with impressive technology aside, the positives outweigh the negatives, but there are a number of things that simply must be mentioned.

    To start off, if you don't have a gamepad (which I do not), the gameplay is merely adequate. I was able to finish the game eventually, but the controls are not very comfortable. While it's easy to bash on something like Call of Duty, that series works simply because the controls are very easy to manage, and easy to get comfortable with. Resident Evil 5s keyboard layout, while functional, does make things considerably more awkward than needed. For example, sometimes you will get in an enemy stranglehold, or you will enter a QuickTimeEvent that requires you to repeatedly hit a few keyboard keys - this often forces you to stop for a few seconds and look down at the keyboard. With some later QuickTimeEvent sequences towards the end, these two seconds is enough to fail, resulting in sequences that will require numerous go-throughs simply to complete it successfully.

    The gameplay awkwardness is mostly felt by the combat gameplay in general, however. For the most part, running and gunning is easy enough; the movement controls are simple and the mouse allows for great aiming. However, whereas you could perhaps hit the Run key while pressing the backwards-walk key allowed you to quick-spin in RE's 3&4, this game requires you to hit the C key. Since it's awkwardly placed below the rest of the movement keys that you're using, you'll find yourself either hitting a few wrong keys first, or simply using the slow-turn mouse to perform a 180. Since this game often involves enemies in groups of a dozen or so, or some enemies that can kill in one hit, this can become rather frustrating. Fortunately, however, like Resident Evil 4, the game is very good at letting you pick up from only a moment before you die, so repeating entire sections of levels is rarely necessary.

    And lastly, while I will admit that the bosses are well created, they are far more annoying than fun, especially with the awkward controls.

    Outside of the controls, the shortcomings are a bit more pronounced, and depending on the way you see them, either more or less forgiveable. For example, you are only able to play 1 level of Mercenaries unless you get an A ranking on the level you have access to; this is almost impossible, so I have only been able to experience one Merc level, despite the game offering several. Also, the extras aren't overly great either, although I will give them some points for originality, such as full-res character models that you can manipulate in 3D space, and the offer of various visual filters on replay.

    As for the story, it's a mixed bag. It seems to pick-up from the end of Degeneration, the first CG film, as it deals with things such as the 'Tricell' corporation, but these elements are no clearer now than they are/were when first introduced. At the end, other than killing lots of infected monsters (thus making the world a safer place), I have no idea if the central villains responsible were defeated, or would simply shrug and move on. Were the main villains featured here the main villains of this huge conspiracy, or just pawns? I can gladly accept the answer being either, but I would like it to be clear.

    I will say, however, that the story does contain a lot of closure. Numerous ongoing threads are finally resolved (even if not overly satisfyingly), some of the files you find contain some emotional impact, and the cutscenes are, let's face it, very well directed.

    As for the good sides of the game, it's simply that the game itself is fully functional. It looks great, sounds good, is reasonably well written, and the voice acting is excellent. It's sometimes quite hard, but I found myself not cussing overly much as it's also quite forgiving, and it allows you to go back to power-up. It lasts about 8 hours but they're fast and generally enjoyable. My only real complaint about the runtime is that, unlike the Console versions, the two Add-On packs do not, and will not exist.

    All said and done, Resident Evil 5 an enjoyable and technically impressive PC title. It is quirky and not horror, but look past those and you should enjoy it.    … Expand

    This game looks pretty good for a DX10 game made back in '09. This is a so so console port. The controls are made for a game pad and not key board and mouse. This game wants to be really fun but the controls are really clunky. The windows live sign in was a joke. The saving in this game is a nightmare. This is a $10 game at this point and nothing more.

Even if its over 10 years old at this point, it still plays well enough even for a series newcomer like me. Though, RE5 also has some annnoying issues that came along with the experience and hamper it somewhat.

    While visually RE5 definetly shows its age, the art style still holds up and presents a dark, gritty moody looking game with suitable atmosphere for a horror experience, that takes you to different kind of places, from gritty urban areas, to swampy african tribe lands, to a Tomb Raideresque lost city and others. Chris, Sheva and other main characters are really well modeled and animated, and cutscenes are executed nicely aswell, with excellent motion capture and acting that look more than convincing even compared to modern games. But also regarding cutscenes, they trigger my OCD because characters always use the default side arm in them, even when i have bought and equipped different weapons for Chris and Sheva, nitpick for most people, but it annoys me when games ignore details like that. While, normally, im not a person who complains about narrow FOV in games, in RE5 it kind of got to me, whether the FOV in the game is as it is for the game design, horror aspects or a draw back regarding limitations of consoles, that made its way into the PC version, there were times i wish i could've adjuted it just to make it bit wider.

    While im normally not a particular fan of tankish, slow controls in games, in RE5 it kind of felt alright for me. Granted it took getting used to and it wasnt all perfect even when i did, as when fighting large groups of enemies things can go FUBAR real quick, as some types of them are quite the bullet sponges. Im torn on the stop to shoot combat design. On one hand i understand it helps building tension and make yourself grounded in order to not be overly capable. On the other hand, it sort of goes against the game's action focused gameplay design. I feel giving the player minimal movement ability while shooting would've been a good compromise. Otherwise, combat feels reasonably satisfying, with hefty feeling to the guns and their impact on enemies, and with blowing their heads off, which sometimes isnt a good idea as they can turn into more powerful enemies. The biggest problem for me was how inventory management during gameplay is real time, i just dont understand the brains behind this idea, it doesnt help the horror aspect at all, it doesnt add urgency, it adds only frustration when you need to manage your stuff while neck deep into fighting zombies, managing inventory should always put the gameplay on pause. Your AI partner is quite capable in combat and in supporting you, but outside of combat they tend to get in your way as you travel about, stumbling in your path too often. RE5 is also riding way too much on QTE sequences, i dont mind having them time to time during a game, but too much is too much, especially when they require 2 key execution, at times it really pissed me off and some of them really feel cheap as you fail them.

    Story was an enjoyable thrill ride i got to say. However a plot twist regarding a certain character was observable from a mile away, though it didnt hurt story matters really. The main antagonist is really cool and slick, but the very final boss encounter was pretty confusing, as i had no idea what was the correct approach to it, only after dying like...12 times, i had that ''gotcha'' revelation. Speaking of boss fights, they rely too much on the ''shoot the glowing spot'', something of a trend among Capcom's games at the time, judge it as you will. The 2 DLC missions that are included in Gold Edition of RE5 offer 2 - 2,5 hours of extra story content that tie into the base game's narrative and overall are worthwhile additions.

    I was utterly dumbfounded that the game was a target of nonsensical racism allegations from insanely idiotic, disingenuous political activists and their like minded tools masquerading as games journalists who have no idea what the hell they are talking about, nor who have any idea what actual racism looks like. Just because a game is set in Africa and you have to kill infected natives who arent even in control of their own actions, doesnt make the game racist. Besides, RE5 already features plenty of anti-colonialist, anti-corporate themes within its story. Just highlighting that people, who are making these ludicrous claims, dont care about context. Its a shame that for no good reason RE5's reputation has been marred by these moronic, vile people who are into it just for the clout chasing among their regressive ideological echo chambers, and who dont actually care about the complex issues they pretend to care about.

    Resident Evil 5, despite of some issues, overall still is a very good and enjoyable action-horror game even nearly 11 years later, and even if you're a first time player.    … Expand

One thing only saved her from the highest quality swearwords from me - she almost never missed. But this is the merit of the dry mathematics of the program, and not of the "well-thought-out intelligence of the partner."
    The gameplay, although it became more lively, and not painfully jelly is too arcade now. "The gripping horror of survival" has turned into a "zombie grinder with enemies that jump on your head from all the holes. Despite the presence of a large inventory between levels, the inventory of the characters is extremely-extremely small. And the funniest thing is that bulletproof vest and a vest from close-range attacks are in the same inventory.
    There is a strong bug in the game - the grenade launcher does not work on masked thugs. In general, even shrapnel.
    "Melee attack's instruction" is given only in the third chapter. And that's far enough for such a thing as a control manual... wtf?
    The Japanese are in their repertoire: although the plot is interesting, it is presented in a classic silly-pretentious style, and stuffed with typical clichés of Hollywood action films. Like an overly long fight with the last boss.
    The game has for me only one indisputable plus - bosses. They are unique, and each is interesting in its own way. But the last fight is overly spoiled by the fact that "you need to do something more pretentious for the main enemy than for the rest of the bosses".
    This "action movie" about zombies, which is became very different from the main idea of the whole story about resident evil got very tired for me by the middle, and became very predictable because of these boring clichés.

    1_) First boss I think "uroboros" : We need to burn it in the oven, right? I put it in the oven and blast its weak points, but the boss just doesn't stop. And when I get out of the oven and try to press the button, it's already out of the oven. I struggled a lot. Turns out, it was necessary to roll out of the oven just as the door was closing. How would I know that the first time? I found it difficult.
    2_) U-8 Spider: It's a boss I'd probably struggle with for hours if I didn't remember it the first time I played it. You have to take granade in your hand and you have to throw it into the mouth of the boss while you have it. Of course, for this you need to drop the boss first. How many players can easily understand that a bomb is going to be thrown into the boss's mouth?
    3_) (5-2) Uroboros: We've come to the worst boss. You see what is written on the internet, most people think this boss is a "bug". Maybe it was at the time. Killing the boss is pure torture. If you don't know what to do at first, all your bullets run out and a lot of your time is wasted. That's what happened to me. I spent about 1 hour. I blast the Boss' weak points. They're out again. I burn it again nothing happens. I was finally able to kill it randomly. I do not know how? Too bad.
    4_) Wesker: The first phase is very bad. You have to turn off the lights. If you don't know at first, the rocket fired by wesker kills you in one hit. I tried to kill Wesker with a rocket. It hit at first and I blew it up. It eluded all of the next at least 10 rockets. I do not know how. However, he couldn't see me, I was in the dark. Anyway, I was finally able to kill it with the sniper. A very frustrating long boss fight. I could remember it because I played it for the first time in the 2nd phase again. Otherwise I wouldn't know what to do. Should I run from the boss or shoot? Well, we're back on the hill. We are fighting head-to-head. Again, all my bullets are gone. Another very long boss fight. Annoying.
    As for the good sides of the game; Overall the story is good. Weapons are diverse. Controls are better than game 4. That's all I have to say. I hope Capcom doesn't make games like games 5 and 6. Let them make remakes. Games 7 and 8 are very good. Let them continue like this.    … Expand

    Its an okay easy coop action game, but a terrible Resident Evil, no atmosphere, no charm at all.
    While Ashley was a cute damsel that followed-stayed out of your way and basically was your main goal, Sheva is an infuriating useless braindead AI partner that gets on your way every single opportunity she can, and i mean it, she will physically block you from running when you need to,    Its an okay easy coop action game, but a terrible Resident Evil, no atmosphere, no charm at all.

    Every transition in this game is awful because you have to either wait for Sheva to open doors or its some stupid movie that gives you no sense of continuity, the levels are small and streamlined, the whole thing had the coop as the main focus.
    While Leon had personality, Chris doesnt, they ruined this in RE4 remake too.
    While every other Resident Evil was set at night in some place with great architecture, this is set in some sunny **** with nothing interesting to look at.    … Expand

BUT PLEASE DAMN Having Sheva as a partner was horrendous. It felt like she was programmed to do whatever you needed her to do and take LONGEST possible path while doing it. Due to its day time appearance and lack of variety in locations I feel like it didn't really stand up to previous games at the time. The puzzles were fun and it was cool wearing different unlockable outfits.

    The story was interesting and it offered a nice close to the chapter that was A.W

    All in all, it was fun to return to the game but it was really annoying at some parts. Took away the scares and replaced them with annoying or boring tasks.    … Expand

    (não sei faze analise)
    grafico do jogo é agradavel, ao menos não achei feio.
    a trilha sonora consegue deixar o ambiente uiui as vezes.
    os controles são diferente, portanto sempre que eu ficava sem joga por certo tempo eu me esquecia como andar, mas não é algo dificil de lembra.
    porém sem duvida o jogo fica mil vezes melhor com um amigo.

    It is a good game with good graphics, a nice story, with a good villain. It is not a masterpiece, but it is far from the heavy criticism it receives in my opinion.

    What bothered me the most in the game was this tiny inventory that limited too much what could be done. And if the idea was to make up for it with the partner, it went down the drain, because it's terrible to exchange items with him if you're not playing in co-op.
    The DLCs bring a little more history, but nothing that an afternoon ends it all.
    Coop is in the main campaign is cool and makes it TOO easy, but in the other modes I didn't see much fun.

    The game in coop is really fun. Only those quick time events can get annoying like why someone thought its good idea to put A and D for quick time events and sometimes F and V (obviously on console its better but on pc its horrible). The camera control is also pretty bad, but overall i really enjoyed the game with my friend.

Overall movement is incomprehensibly weird. Why? I have no idea.

Сеттинг мне не по душе, поскольку я не люблю пустыни и всякое такое. Из минусов выделю однотипные локации, душные некоторые боссы. битвы с которыми затягиваются на 30 и более минут, ПК порт местами очень кривой, не работают ключевые предметы и местами также не выпадают необходимые для прохождения вещи. Управление сносное, но всё равно очень сильно кривит. Сейчас бы в эту игру я не рекомендовал бы играть, поскольку есть прекраснейший ремейк 2 и 3 части, которые на голову выше данного произведения, и которые демонстрируют обитель зла во всей красе. Как по мне, игра не проходит проверку временем, сейчас она ощущается, как хорошая игра, котоаря была популярна и играбельна в 2009 году.… Expand

    Overall, if you can put up with DRM and GFWL headaches, and don't mind risking losing your save games and progress - or at least having them tethered and more complicated than they need to be - Resident Evil 5 for the PC is probably the version to get.

    It may not be a radically new Resident Evil 5, but the PC version of the game still manages to hold its own with an improved control scheme and extra Mercenaries mode.
