Additional review on Resident Evil 4.

Resident Evil 4. Highly appreciated, adored by players and critics … a misunderstanding that killed a series. And I’m absolutely serious now. I never understood people who are ready to sing praises to this game, because it was after the fourth part that the series rolled up … that we are observing to this day. Although he got out slightly, due to the subaceria “”Revelations“, Yes remasters Remake And Zero. Why do I have such an attitude to the game? Let’s figure it out.

It is worth starting with the fact that even her creator Shinji Mikami made her only for the sake of profit and intentionally turned her from a horror into a stupid shoot. And along with this statement, he threw the stone into the garden of old fans, they say “And you did not buy Remake and Zero“. Of course, I would like to remind him that these games came out at that time only for GameCube, but we will lower this detail. You can also remember what the game began to do … As many as five times! There was Devil May Cry, there was an option with a smoky monster, there was an option with halls, even there was an option with a zombie, but in the end they stopped at the Genocide of the Spanish cattle.

Naturally, this obviously could not end in anything good (we remember the average Duke Nukem Forever). As a result, Mikami with the team made an absolutely spin-off part, which for some reason wears a number in the name (here comes to mind Re: Code Veronica, from which three were taken in favor of Jill from Nemesis in favor of the tunes).
Moreover, the spin-Offin is in every sense.

The script is absolutely in no way related to past parts. I am silent that some events (Roccfort and the Ashford family, Starlight and infection of Leon, the task of ADA in France, some epilogues from the third part, even some characters) were simply thrown to hell out One Pro -Okhodnyakov game.

The 4-ka herself starts in 2004, when some sect treacherously stifled the daughter of the US president himself. The tie is at least stupid, but we will continue. The old friend Leon Scott Kennedy is sent to business, whose design has undergone Significant changes, and became more similar to the hero of Bisenen-manga. At the first opportunity, Leon reveals himself, almost flanches an ax, jumps from a three -meter height, fights off the Ganados pair and … does not even imagine how long and dull adventure fell to his lot.

In the future, we will meet rather dubious personalities of the elder of the village, a local hobbit with a squeaky voice, one old and figs understand where Comrade Leon, one old friend from Rakun City (however, who was full of Sha *** a), a merchant with a funny accent, a very muddy scientist and hellish Satan in the person of Ozumund Sadler,. And here is the problem of all this menagerie is that it is not interesting to follow them. Someone will object that: “And in the old parts there were no deep and insightful villains!”. To which I will answer “they were, and if not deep, then at least with motivation they had everything wonderful!”. Here I am my forehead against the wall from local villains. Here is their plan:

-Steal the president’s daughter. -Infect with parasite. -Send her home and as a result to infect already the US president himself.

Everything is simple and logical, however, when Leon comes into the game, they begin to dull and shoot themselves desperately. Instead of simply giving an infected kid, they try to kill her savior in every way, they themselves leave documents where all further traps are painted, send a bunch of people to slaughter, give Leon and Ashley 100% the opportunity to recover, and completely do not follow their rear, where the cult is already inhibiting the hell and the superior Cossack Kraauzer (its motivation is still better than the atrocities from the cults). It’s just some kind of tin! Their motive is to capture the world. Like, bl ***, original.

I remember how they told me many times, rolletto casino they say, “Re4 did not give a series to slide” And “Camera from under the ceiling is already tired of everyone“. Remembering the sales of remaster Rimake and Ziro (Games 2002 years, if that), I would not agree with the last statement, but before calling the problem of the gameplay of the four and its wretchedness compared to the early parts, it is worth considering the gameplay itself.

What is he represented? To be honest, leisurely “Call of Duty“, But with a third -person view (right there, the right thing that this camera was used in some shooters before, however, they picked up such a gamedic solution only after this misunderstanding, but we look specifically at Resident Evil, so this is only a minus). And now I will explain why. There are three main locations in the game: village, castle and island. “Village”, it seems, begins, albeit stupidly, but quite classically. There is a “some” shortage of cartridges, there are not so many enemies yet. But exactly after the first skirmish in the village, the game turns into … yes, yes, the joker about parasites, like Cold Fear. There are always cartridges, enemies are too painfully dead, and the option “Yes, maybe just run away“Not even considered, for two reasons:

The first – all sorts of obstacles, such as traps, as a result of which one wrong shot, will be placed on locations, and you still get involved in a protracted shootout with a cattle.

The second – the door will be stupidly closed along the script until you shoot everyone.

Such “restrictions” are quite funny against the background of the fact that in the early Re “It was always possible to escape“. Except battles with bosses, but they are bosses. And this is returning to the words about locations. EVERYWHERE There will be a shooter. Typical Yoba-Shutanchik with rifts (only in the form of QTE-coating) and shelters (not always, but they are). In the castle, you are more urban to the people than on Roccfort. On the island you will arrange a typical server genocide in general Battlefield at once 6. I am silent that Ada has on the same island Battlefield continues. With turrets and equipment. And about support from the air of Leon in the face of a helicopter, I will keep silent. After all, this is “REAL»Re, is it not true? With explosions, shootings, sieges and other shit?

By the way, a little about the locations themselves. Firstly, they are just pi *** Ts what gray and dull (and also extremely empty and illogical. So many people live in 10 houses? Do not laugh!). And don’t I have to fill up about the castle! He would be good if they had not stretched him out on the fucking 8 hours. In general, another problem, because of which I hardly squeeze out the strength to recall this shit on my PS3, So this is the length of the game itself. I’m in Resident Evil I play or in Blove Final Fantasy 13, which, funny, is also a corridor to the most tomatoes.
I would also like to insert in Mikami for two such things:

-Pharma.
I really did not think that Re would turn into Diablo-zh **** nude, where you will need to farm in tons of money to buy a cool gun. What is funny, in the game itself you can get only four guns for free: shotgun, gun, revolver and rocket launcher. In principle, a gentleman’s set with which you can pass the game (if you score on the rest of the arsenal). Also, you score the rest of the arsenal when you understand that the game can be safely passing by the method:

-Bought ed9, assault shotgun and TMP. -You buy a rocket launcher on the bosses, since they will die from one shot from it. -You kill, you go further. -. -Profit!

Yes! Like in Mgs5 (By the way, he has a similar story, but not today) there are a bunch of guns, but they did not give up! From the word “completely”. After all, it is enough to purchase those three guns higher and leave the loot to the bazuka. All! That is, if earlier All The arsenal was used for its intended purpose (the gun was strictly against zombies, dogs and in hopeless situations, a shotgun/crossbow against a large accumulation of enemies and handors/liqueurs, and a grenade launcher/revolver against bosses), now … strictly according to the plan above. Well, or plug it with a knife (like a krauser, for example). “The loot wins evil!” – the main slogan of the fourth part.

-Full poster of the study and solutions.
Agree that Re is associated with these elements. Solve the correctly riddle with paintings or to be devoured by crows, find the coveted cartridges for a shotgun, when you are already at zero, strategically come up with the shortest way to the goal, having previously killed everyone who will most violently interfere. Unfortunately, in the fourth part there is no more such feeling. All that remains is to go forward and “Kill Them All! With Fire! “, Right on the testamates of the space marines from the Wahi. All levels are mushroom -shaped lines, in which sometimes there are appendixes in the form of a trader or a dug shop with good. In general, it turned out a castrate. With riddles are still more prosaic. They are not. What?! I hear screams from the hall, they say they are? Guys, well, seriously! When it became a puzzle?

From the rest, it remains to tell about the hand -to -hand and the merchant. Handups are pi *** c. No, I agree that this case was found before (in authors, for example), but there it was a means to survive, and not “to cut off the crowd of a bit from the turntable in a couple of seconds”. It can look cool purely aesthetically, but the balance slides into shit when you clean up the scheme “A shot in a knee-knee- we finish off with a knife”. Someone will object that this does not roll with strong enemies. Yes, it does not roll. However, in such cases, a shotgun helps.

As for the merchant, this is one logical hole in the four. This guy seems to be, but it seems, as not. He always keeps up with the hero, he always has what the hero needs, but only Leon and Ada know about him. This is the problem. It often seems that these are just the hallucinations of Leon. Moreover, what is indicative, the developers of the fifth part planned many merchants, who still had to manage to get to, which would look more realistic and confirms my words about the delusive of the merchant from the four.

Well, the fact that now the documents that have excessed the atmosphere were completely depressed look like, the horror has been accelerated, they told the story, and some of the blood in the veins were crushed (I will never forget that document from Gun Survivor about the extraction of “Beto getero nonserotonin” from the brain of children), now the documents are reduced to the player to convey obvious things or remind, to remind, to remind, to remind, to remind,What awaits you next and what you must do. We are so stupid! In a linear jester we will not guess what to do! Ugh!

Well, it finishes all this insanity completely inexpressive soundtrack. Honestly! The game has a soundtrack on two CDs (62 compositions), but in the end 60 can be thrown away, because they are not remembered at all! Only the compositions from the conservation menu and the “Other ways” menu at least somehow delight the ears. And this despite the fact that in the same Resident Evil 2 (where Leon debuted) The soundtrack is half as much, but the compositions are remembered MUCH more (if not all at all. “Escape from the Laboratory”Still brings to ecstasy).

In the dry residue about the game, we can say that she never retained recognizable elements of the classics (except “stand and shoot”, which was the most stupid ideas by Miki, given the new mechanics), rolling everything into a regular post -shooter, then it was painfully choken, atmospheric and atmospheric, informative notes with documents, logic in the plot line, will be picked up in the asshole and ass.Having generated such bastards as Re5, which for some reason I like more than four, and RE6, the review for which it will definitely be superfluous, because 40 hours of dull are already saying for themselves. The most correct development of classical ideas with the Re4 camera was the series “Revelations“, Where the farm was thrown to hell, the study, riddles returned, and upgrades to weapons had to be sought.

Bottom line: This is the most overated game that has not brought anything new to the series, but also killed all the good old. As many have already said … Change the name, remove Leon, hell and Vasyuk, and the connection with the series will be zero.
