Unpopular opinion: Resident evil 5 was good.

[Drago]

Do you disagree? And why? I found although it is more of an action shooter in the series, it still felt like a resident evil game. I have memories playing the demo numerous times on the xbox 360 back in the day but I never understood why it had so much hate. I do understand the hate for RE 6 though, and I agree that it was probably the worst RE game to be made.

Both 5 and 6 are pretty fun and enjoyable if you have someone to play with.(Local coop is the best feature of those games)

I had far more fun with 5 and 6 than I ever had with 7.(7 also had a far inferior combat than both 5 snd 6)

The Resident Evil Community, just like every community, is a social enviroment.
In social enviroments, It's very common to see dominant ideas and other opinions. Resident Evil 5 and 6 being bad games, is one of that dominant opinions.
My man, do not ever try to follow this ideas or opinions just to fit in the social group. There are many people in this community, myself included, that think Resident Evil 5 and 6 were objectively good games. It may be just a few of us, but we are part of that community. Screw the mayority that follow these dominant opinions just to fit in.

Correction: Resident Evil 5 is a good "GAME". The tangible issue of the community is whether it's a "good RE game" or not.

Who cares if it's a good RE game or not?

Being a good game is far more important than being a "good RE game".

Yeah it was fun. But then I got it in the bargain bin for $3.00.

I guess it was a dumb question to ask since I clearly forgot opinions exist lol but it's the same anywhere across any video game franchise will have fans supporting one opinion or another but it all just comes down to personal preference. RE2 remake is probably the best RE game i've played since I didn't play the original games (RE 4 being my first). RE7 was a good game to save the franchise and I don't have any complaints in the direction they are heading which makes me look forward to the next game. I am glad they are going away from the action shooter style that is RE5 and 6 since they are the biggest outliers to the franchise.

better than outlast texas chainsaw massacre wannabe RE7 for sure...

NAH. Doom3 was even better than RE5.

Doom 3 is a better FPS game than 4.(At least it was less boring than 4)

Anyone that enjoyed Resident Evil 4 has no reason to complain about Resident Evil 5 because it took everything that was introduced and excelled it to the extreme. Specifically by Resident Evil 6 they went all out but this predecessor is where it REALLY shined visually and mechanically. Also, it gave us more fresh air that was clearly overdue after the first trilogy began peaking the series.

Whoever hated the second trilogy, citing them as "terrible Resident Evil games", not only completely misunderstood the whole point of their existence but why the series was already dying by 1999. The only true saving grace was Code: Veronica but even then the whole series was becoming overplayed and outdated to its literal death. Not even the Gun Survivor and Outbreak spin-offs were doing huge favors.

RE5 is an acceptable sequel despite its shortcomings with storytelling and potential.

Who the hell says RE5 was bad? Did they get his in the head with a steel pipe?
