Well, isn't that what happened when MGS2 was released ? It was better than MGS1 in every gameplay aspect, but yet everybody was disappointed because it didn't have a story as good as MGS1 or a character like Solid Snake, so people were actually going to like MGS2 more if it had been released under a different name.

wtf are you on about homosh?
I said it's stupid to pre-judge a game based on those which came before in a series, then feel let down because - despite being one the most frickin' awesome games of recent history - it didn't quite meet up to your standards?
You'd rate it higher if they released it under a different name?
No socio-political rants, if you please.

It is that now..... just some examples of it transcend the rubbish and are genuinely awesome, arguably 'cultural' events. Resi 4 simply being that because it was so damn good. If your argument holds, that we simply have to look at story as well as video game, then Pac Man was rubbish, Tetris wasn't that good, Goldeneye was too shallow in narrative, Civilisation had no point to it because it told no story, and Resident Evil 4 isn't as good as Resident Evil 1 because it didn't have a convoluted and 'interesting' story. Note a pattern of quality?

There was horror. There was gore, death, torture, evil, sadism, weird monster bugs, mutants, blood, guns, helpless female, gung-ho male, a good guy getting impaled on a huge insect leg thing, zombies, parasites and a helicopter piloted by MIIIIKEEEEE
How the hell was it not full of horror? :P

What do you mean ? That people should look at video games just as video games ? I can do that, but then the video gaming industry will become nothing more than a tool for gamers to pass time, and another one on the list of the gazillion ways for investors to rob our money.

Ok, I admit that Resi Evil 4 as a "video game" is one of the best in ages, but is this why Resi Evil got so popular in the first place ? There were so many great horror games, but Resi Evil always was the best, at least for me. Remember when Resi Evil 2 came out and everybody kept saying that it was best game ever and everything ? Even if we neglect the story, Resi Evil 2 had this "edge", the kind of excitement that you get from a movie like "Aliens" (Monster chases/Elevators/Time limit before everything explodes...). Resi Evil isn't supposed to be just a game, it's a "Horror" game, and in my opinion Rsi Evil 4 lacked many of the thrilling horror elements..

I know some people who were really really disappointed with the REsi 4 story as well. I think the problem is that the stories from the other games were more complex, but people have their rose tinted glasses on when they remember them.
I read through the entire backstory of the Resi series before 4 came out on GC, and I think the main draw is that the characters and storylines from the games all intertwine. Resi 4 is somewhat out of that, with only fleeting guest appearances from familiar characters, so I think people didn't get that sense of familiarity ith a series that often makes you enjoy films/games that technically aren't that great (like the newest Star Wars films for example).
Having not been so in love with the Resident Evil storyline from before (I really disliked the gameplay of the previous games), I found no such problems and enjoyed Resi 4 for what it was, and not what I wished it would have been.

Games don't need to have original stories to be great. If they did, the games industry would have died about 15-20 years ago, because - apart from a few exceptions - that's about when games stopped being truly original in every aspect.
To be honest, I don't see how anyone who likes the Resi series can not like Resi 4. It's the game Resi was always intended to be. At least until Resi 5.

After reading his opinions on Metal Gear he seems to be one who places importance on storyline.
Is a poor reason to hate a whole game though, unless it's an RPG in which case it's quite a good reason

It's absoloute gold.
The fact the ending is unoriginal is hardly a gripe at the game itself, admit it.

This is one of the titles which make me regret getting rid of the ps2. Might see if I can pick one up on the cheap just to play it, either that or a gamecube.

Had it since Thursday and just cannot leave it alone.
Haven't finished the main game yet, let alone the 5 hours extra gameplay!
It's utterly, utterly superb.
