Current Events > RE4 is the most overrated game of all time

(+) Yeah! (+)

While great, fun and ahead of its time, it is not a perfect game and not nearly as great as people makes it out to be.

Best RE game of all.

village was great, castle sucked, island was cool.

RE2 and Remake and soon REmake2 all says no.

If "not perfect" is your critique then it earned it's position.

I never finished it. Kinda just goes on and on

Best Survival Horror yet

This wouldn't be an issue if people didn't think it's perfect.

I doc points from peoples opinion when they claim stuff is perfect. It's a clear sign of biasness. It's revolutionary for it's time though. Ill never forget my first experience with it.

The game is one of the easiest games in the world. You could beat it with a knife and handgun using the easily broken mechanics of the game.

Nah that honor should go to Skyrim.

can you elaborate on your position, TC? can you provide specifics? what are some things that "everyone" praises that you don't think deserve it? what are some ways in which you disagree about it being a "perfect game"?

Skyrim isn't blasted non-stop by the world as the perfect game

I'm so happy you asked.

Are you guys ready for my copy and pasta?

RE4 is a flawed game. SPOILERS

Why everyone thinks it's so great is beyond me. The game is full of broken mechanics you can abuse to make it a walk in the park even in the hardest mode.

The enemies run towards you and stop right before reaching you and then they walk slowly giving you enough time to do anything....the A.I. is a joke. "Hey guys there's a ton Ganados coming after me. I'll just shoot one guy in the face and then do a devastating AoE roundhouse kick that will knock everyone away from me(while making me invulnerable). While they're taking their slow ass time to get back up I think I'll seal their fate with my knife"

Not being able to change your weapons in real time is also terrible even for its time several games allowed you to do this....go watch a YouTube of mercenary mode the ones with high scores and I guarantee you they pause more than 20 times.

The knife and pistol is already one of the most powerful weapons in the game. In fact you could clear most of the game with just these two weapons. And because you're not using your other weapons and ammo (because you're lol pwning with the knife) you can then sell your access ammo and other weapons and buy even stronger weapons to literally blow through the bosses.

Let's not forget that if they somehow manage to grab you, it's insanely easy to get out of it and even kill them by kicking their head to explosion, and if you ever think you can get close to me then say hello to my grenades or shotgun lol.

Don't get me wrong guys. I don't hate the game and I certainly enjoyed playing it. I just think it's highly overrated and doesn't deserve the praise Internet nerds give it.
---

I also have video proof of said broken mechanics you can abuse to make the game a walk in the park. Wanna see it?
---

As always, my VERY logical and VERY fair points of flaws of RE4 shuts everyone up. Why do yall even attempt to debate against me?

You don't understand intentional game design btw. The enemies reacted exactly how they wanted them to so that the game wasn't too hard to be accessible. You act like 90% of games around the time weren't easier. It was a completely new style that had to ease people into it.

Don't like it? Don't play it. It's that simple.

Fuck outta here with this weekly troll topic.

I'm glad you ask, kind sir. Check 4:06

Is this seriously your big complaint? That you can exploit the game in specific areas if you want? You need to move on man. This is pathetic

RE4 saved the franchise.

Without RE4 there would be no RE and no capcom.

So you're saying AI being dumb for purposely done and you accept it not as a flaw but a mechanic to make things easier for you?

I bet this game is the ONLY game you'll ever use that to defend the game.

False. People would have bought and played RE3.5 just the same IMO.

In Dark Souls series you can take out a shit ton of enemies by standing back and spamming arrows. I don't cry about having options Im not forced to use. You seem to be on a huge whine trip between this and your "woe is me" topic.

Vegy x please show us you playing re4 at highest difficulty else your points all fail.

Spamming arrows is not a broken mechanic. Try again. BTW your fanboyism for RE4 is REALLY showing ITT.

M00t point.

You're an exhausting person lol

Look, I don't hate RE4 and trust me I bought a GC just to play RE4 and I thought it was a ton a fun but it isn't perfect and its flaws are very colorful. All i'm saying is it is the most overrated game of all time. no one will find it flawed.

Try that in the later stages, especially the hedge maze area and see what happens.

Not sure what you are asking. You want me to make it hard? Play on hard?

I am not that good so it sounds easy cause to me hard mode gonna be hard.

Hard mode has stupid shit like being grabbed from behind when you've already cleared the room and can see all entrances.

You missed the part where you have so much gold and power by that time that everything is ez mode.

Does anybody ever says that its the best game in the world? Just that its a good game, with enjoyable gameplay, story, and highly replayable. And its not overrated at all, just for you it is
