While I don't neccessarily disagree with your thoughts on principal, I personally do not believe they apply here. I loved RE6 and 5 and they are to me two of the best games in the series. I feel like CAPCOM did the right thing in making them. Tomb Raider basically made Uncharted for its recent version, and guess what?…

I do respect peoples opinions when it is discussed in the forums and such as that. But when a Kotaku editor voices those opinions as fact in an article that has nothing to do with his/her personal opinions that is what I have a problem and why I wrote my comment. A journalist should not be reporting their opinion in…

Exactly, don't get me wrong. I loved the old ones. They will all hold special memories for me, but I don't want to go back and play them for the reasons you said. It would be painful to play them at this point. Better left as a nostalgic memory, thing is, I can do that. Others seem to not be able to let go of the…

Well, Tomb Raider is kind of a survival game, especially the new one, and yes by the definition a lot of games fit under that description. We have definitions for a reason, if we don't go by them then what is the point of words and the dictionary? You say it isn't survival but yet the actual definition describes RE to…

That's a nice well thought out response. I half agree with you on most of it. I still personally find the games incredibly intense and they produce quite the survival horror experience to me. I do think people are expecting too much of the series and aren't letting it evolve. As someone else said, unless we make each…

No, you misunderstand me. Yes I love the series to death. I understand others may not, that is fine, I don't care. That is your opinion. What I don't like is when journalists take an article that should be based on unbiased facts and spin it with their opinions and push there agenda as fact. Kotaku does this quite…

THat's what internet is for these days it seems. Yes the games still sell well so people who complain are obviously still quite the minority.

Nostalgia isn't bad, but it can cloud your thoughts or reactions to things new if you don't let the old remain in the past. Which I believe most people on here seem to be doing, remaining in the past and missing out on all this is good now.

I'm a bigger RE fan than pretty much just about most people. I love the games so you do not speak for all fans. The games still make a ton of money so that means people like them as well. 6 may not have sold what they hoped for but it sold more than most games do. Plus i think we are seeing a decline in game sales…

You are a smart smart person, you get it. This is what I've been saying all along. No one else seems to realize this though. Like they are just stuck in some mindless void without reason or understanding.

Well I'm just about the biggest RE fan there could be, before going over the edge sort of fan. And I couldn't disagree with you more. The series is evolving just perfectly. It is just as intense of a game to me as the first one, just in new ways. So while you think most fans agree, i would say that most agree with me.…

Dude, I'm not gonna lie, your response is to long to be relevant. I know you put a lot of thought in it and I quickly skimmed it over, but this is the internet, if it's more than 3 paragraphs no one wants to read that. Either way, I still disagree with you, as the games of RE5 and 6 were no different than previous…

Go read the definition of survival and horror. It is just that. Its you people who have it all wrong. Making up your own definitions.

I can respect that, I totally disagree with you but I can respect your side and you are completely entitled to that opinion. It's when you begin to write articles and have power to sway people and you start talking that like it's fact when its only your opinion, thats when I have the problem. Because while you may…

Still gotta disagree about the demo, while that may be the purpose, I have played bad demos before and still got the game to find that the demo completely misrepresented the game. As far authors go on this site, I think we can all assume you are talking about Patricia Hernandez...

Again, go read the definition of Survival and tell me by the base definition of survival that RE doesn't fit that description. And horror, what else would you call a bunch horrendous monsters? It may not be what you hoped for but it is survival horror by all basic definitions.

I'm beginning to think that loud voices on the internet are actually hurting consumer products more than helping them. At one point I thought it was great to get such fast consumer response to a product but now I think the loud few actually skew the results from what the mass majority actually feel. As you well should…

RE4 was the divergence of the series. It split off from 1-3 by making the environments fully 3D. The controls were tweaked because of that. RE4 is the staple game on which all other third person shooters followed. The slightly off to the side angle. Dude, you know nothing about games. Or the internet for that matter.…

Same to you, at least we can agree on downvoting each other.

Read this thread and you will see what definition I have given survival horror to others. You are all wrong when it comes to what survival horror is. The games are exactly the definition of survival horror. It is not defined by ammo like most of you would seem to think.
