Story:Resident Evil 5 is the seventh video game in the Resident Evil series. It features similar gameplay to Resident Evil 4 utilizing the same over the shoulder view, but this time the environment plays a significant role. The player is now dependent on his partner more than in older games. When the partner's health bar drop down to 0, he will enter the dying stage where the health bar will flash red and gradually lower as he stays like this. Resident Evil 5 also features new types of enemies called Majini and mostly are of African descent.Show more
Resident Evil 5 is hands down a must for GOG. It's widely known as one of the greatest co-op games ever made. The game is so packed with content you'll be playing this for years to come. Sometimes GOG gets the most complete version deals. Which is very possible to do with Resident Evil 5. A very replayable Resident Evil game that stands the test of time. You get a few decent modes as well. Plenty of unlockables you can use in game points to get. A few outfits you can wear in the campaign. There's some rather sick tricks you could do as well. Including the famous gold egg trick to quickly max out money. Not only that, the difficulty levels for the most part is well balanced. Resident Evil 5 is among the most fun RE games you can play. I really felt this game would sell incredibly well on GOG. Especially during sales, also with people wanting a remake of this game. Thus further helps to hype the classic version up even more.
I've probably beaten this game over 10 times all of the way through, unlocking everything. It's always fun and always addicting. The co-op experience is where it really shines though, providing hours of pure fun, laughs and intense moments shared with a friend.
RE 5 got me into the RE series since 2009 on PS3. I own multiple copies of RE 5 from all platforms on both digital and physical. PS3, PS4 Switch and Xbox. Plus Steam of course it's digital. But, That's how much I love RE 5 so if it comes to GOG anytime soon. I'm getting it again haha
Being able to beat the game over and over again was something I could not get enough of when I played RE5 on the Xbone 360. Being able to play this game with a friend is also very good. Even though that I maaaaay~~~ have ruined the experienced for me and my friend by simply purchasing the weapons for a mission that didn't need it. At least... that Is what I think happened? I know I had fun by myself and I think my friend didn't care much about breaking the game's pacing when we simply started from the beginning.
I would appreciate this game to come out on GoG. A good ol time by yourself with with friends that I'd happily play at least a half a dozen times like what it first came out on consoles.
I know this game is disliked by a lot of die hard RE fans and I can understand why... But to be honest I always have a great time playing it with a friend. It's non-stop action with epic boss fights and this is a really fun playthrough if you got someone to play it with. It deserves to be in the GOG conservation program.
Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition just launched, so... we can't be far off from this one now, can we?
Great game, would love to revisit. I don't think it really got a fair shake when it first launched, but it's been a supremely enjoyable game to go back to now that it's a little easier to accept that it's not the same game as RE4.
This was my entry into the Resident Evil Series that I bought on a whim, but it is the one I cherish the most, even the other games are better in certain regards. I have a big soft spot for it and cannot deny that I am not unbiased when it comes to this game. Still, the one I hold in highest regard, and come back to think about frequently and play.
Just like with the Devil May Cry games that just came here, I know I would buy it immedietly if it came here, just like how I would buy Final Fantasy X if it came to GOG as well. Even though I already own them on Steam too. Even though I already own it on disc, being able to buy without DRM and actually own it is why I'm willing to throw my money at GOG so readily.
Late 00s nostalgia. I remember playing this with my brother around the time it came out, and then played with a good friend some years after that. Good times.
It's unmistakably late 00s in its feel, featuring an aesthetic filled with gratuitous contrast and bloom for an HDR-esque effect (not unlike Shadow of the Colossus). The gameplay is super solid--ya gotta love that Capcom refrained from going full Gears of War here and chose to stay with tense mechanics. Mix that with the most unique environments in the entire Resident Evil series, adept sound design, and a decent story, and the outcome is horror game excellence: an experience that manages to be spooky no matter how bright and sunny the game may look. You can't say a lot of games have pulled something like that off.
This game would run buttery smooth on a PC of today (or from a decade ago). Silky performance in, arguably, the cult classic of the Resident Evil series?
How could you say no?
FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox
