“why don’t you, the master of unlocking, take this lock pick.”
i was finally able to download the resident evil 5 demo yesterday on my ps3. and i gotta say, it’s really hard. it may just be that you’re sorta dropped into the middle of a couple levels without any sort of training or familiarity with the controls, but damn i died a lot.
and the controls. hmmm. i’m kinda split on it. on one hand, they’re the standard resident evil controls. on the other, they’re the standard resident evil controls. i feel like with the addition of 28 days later-style track star zombies, the ability to run and shoot should be a no-brainer. it worked really well in dead space. still, the wonky controls are part of what makes a resident evil game a resident evil game. that and endless searching for a rook plug, which you need to get the eagle crest, which opens up a secret elevator to an even more secret lab beneath a mansion on the outskirts of town, which houses mutant sharks. the lab, not the mansion.
but visually, it certainly looks great. we’ll see how things pan out with the full release right around the corner.

oh, rook plugs. I haven’t played a resident evil game since high school, but I’ll never forget the chess-themed plugs.
i vaguely remember playing re2 in your basement forever ago.
I’m gonna go ahead and say that you should put the “never getting laid” tag on this one.
good call.
You’re right about that. If I don’t feel like a drunk blind person shooting a gun, it doesn’t feel like a true Resident Evil game. Dang, I haven’t played Resident Evil in a while.
Thats awsome that you remembered that funny quote from the first resident evil
