I will buy this for PC.

game stop
is offering a sale that will give you $40 off the price of re5.

Finally, I can get rid of GH:WT and Mario Party 8 (godawful games)
Also, enjoy your blonde Jill.

Sell Fallout 3, buy on PC later on. Sell Halo 3, shittiest 360 game ever.

biggest problem for me though, is that I don't like RE5.

I thought Gears 2 was shittier.

I, as an xbox non-owner, say that both of them are shit.

As an xbox owner, I liked all of them, for me, Halo 3 was a fun if shallow coop game, Gears 2 was brilliant fun in coop and not bad in single (albeit it had the easiest boss fight I've ever seen in more than a quarter of a century of gaming) and Fallout 3 was a good fallout game with too much emphasis on playing like a shooter but otherwise in keeping with the spirit of the series (and if I ever want to argue this point with the old school obsessives I'll go to the fallout forum thanks).
Besides, we don't have gamespot in wagga, I don't trade games and I don't want RE5 anyway.

Heh, resident evil 5....
Long gone are the eerie corridors of zombie filled mansion in remote Arklay mountains...
now chris is jumping, running and kickin' ass like fucking duke nukem himself in africa and kiling some sort of.... tentacle ridiculous thing a' madoos... no one cares what they are co's "LOOK I GOT A SHOTGUN AND I JUMP A' LOT"
This has nothing to do with horror or survival... and even less with resident evil.
a perfect example what I said here

about the effect of popular culture on our beloved gaming hobby.
Hopefully Capcom will come back to the roots of resident evil later.

RE was never scary. At least for me.

In that my friend...
You are exactly right.
Resident evil series was never really 'scary', though it gave some cheesy scares with sudden monster jumping trhough windows, but it was never scary as you said.
But I still admit that it gives you nice moody athmosphere with eerie music and zombies wailing.
Resident evil was always more like getting in the mood of zombie apocalypse, conserving ammunition, staring at the map screen to figure out which corridors to keep clean and what places to avoid, hoarding supplies into 'magic boxes'... and the fact you can only carrie 6 items and shotgun takes as much room as small key....
concept is ridiculous... YES it might be stupid and seem first like poor design, but honestly it is designed that way, and meant to make you think what you want to carry around with you, again to mimimize the running around the corridors co's you never know what you might run into.
It's survival horror to the core, as usually silent hill games are gategorized into same kind of games, this is not true for silent hill games are MUCH more of storytelling and horror elements.
in my opinion
Silent hill games = adventure, horror
Resident evil = survival (horror?), strategy
and now we are talking about Good old Games, not counting latest silent hill game which was more like action game.

In RE 1 and 2, going into a room with only a couple of zombies was dreadful. Scary might be the wrong word to describe that feeling. But that feeling of just barely making it through each scenario is gone from the last couple of games. There's more of everything now. More zombies, more ammo, more weapons. If you're gonna do that, go all out like Left 4 Dead, which knows exactly what type of game it wants to be; an intense action horror game where you get to shoot hordes of zombies.

These aren't zombies, they're violent villagers armed with nothing but melee weapons and rage. I wouldn't even call the zombies in L4D zombies, they run, are never actually seen eating people (or brains), show no signs of external deterioration, and they aren't exactly mindless...
If you want my definition of zombies go look at RE:0-3, Stubbs the Zombie, House of the Dead, COD:WAW, etc.

If you're going to nitpick, real zombies are resurrected using good ol' Vodou. None of that radiation induced or viral outbreak bullshit. It takes a Haitian bokor to revive a dead person who then becomes a slave to do all the bidding of its puppet master.
Beyond that though, the definition of a zombie can be pretty loose. Personally I still prefer Romero's slow shambling flesh eating zombie, but in moderation the new fast zombies have their own appeal too.
