Please excuse this one, its an older AJ Video.

Please excuse this one, its an older AJ Video.


I’m Proud to Introduce our Newest Top List Series, Things That Pissed Me Off About Your Favorite Video Games!
PMO_RE5_04
From the EPIC Intro, “Since the Dawn of Time Gamers have ranted about games, but now one man looks to give them a voice, to be their champion and bring their concerns directly to the Publishers in an Open Letter. Game developers either hate him or love him, but NONE can deny his intentions to improve our favorite games and their sequels! Together with the power of Thousands of Gamers those who would join him and his army will be heard…..This is the 5 Reasons Resident Evil 5 Pissed Us Off (and how to improve the game).”




In this New Video Game Series we will be taking a look at a List of Things about Games that Piss us off! What Pissed You Off the Most about Your Games?

residentevil5logo
Resident Evil was a Great Game but there were definitely some annoying things about it, we point those out in this video and offer our suggestions on how to improve the series for Resident Evil 6!

About Our New Series!
Did the developers screw up something bad? Did they Over Promise and Over Hype their game? Was there a Missing Feature? Maybe their pulling the fast one on us with some Bullcrap Xbox Live or PSN DLC move? Or maybe the Camera and Controls of the Game were just too damn unbearable to even play through!

[ad#image-box-ad]

Anything and Everything Terrible about the game has a chance to make our List. The greatest strength of this Series is that its in your own words, the word of the Gamer. So Send us your ideas!

If the Game Publishers expect us to pay for Sequel after Sequel than we should expect from them new and fresh gaming ideas and innovative features in their future titles. Were no longer going to put up with barley noticeable incremental improvements from year to year. That’s Garbage! We will let them know exactly what we liked and what we didn’t! Most importantly a chance to offer suggestions on how to Improve the Game itself!

So Join us! Send us the next game you’d like to see in the Series and a List of things that pissed you off about it! You can even write in our fun Open Letter Format, directly to the developers/publishers. Angry Joe will make sure our concerns are heard!

Its about Damn time we Improve our Favorite Games by showing them some Tough Love!

Angry!

If anyone would like to donate their crappy next gen games for us to review or kick us a few bucks to help with the video parodies, website costs and gamefly subcription please help us out! We will “Loe” you!

    I’m torn about whether or not to buy this. The reason I loved Resident Evil is that it WASN’T just another action game. It scared me shitless and forced me to leave the lights on when I went to bed. It wasn’t just another mindless fuck everything up game. I probably still will though.

    Assessing the cash flow is another essential element in the company technique format, so as to sustain a regular money flow to meet the important capital needs. Probability of monetary crisis and also the methods of crisis management must be pointed out within the structure. The company strategy must consist of the advertising plans and technique leading to the expansion from the company.

    Thank God Joe mentioned the disgusting controls. I just wish he mentioned how clunky it is turning the player. I wish the plot of the game went back to the old style of resident evil, where instead of being sent to take out the zombies, your supposed to survive after the zombie holocaust.

    The one survival game that I like the most is Dead Space. Maybe Capcom can take a look at what EA has done with the suspense, the controls and the story. My opinion Dead Space is much more ahead of its time than RE5. Capcom should go back to their roots and follow other developers examples. Lets be honest there has not been a good RE game since Code Veronica.

    Going with your first point that Resident Evil 5 is feeling more like an action game and less than survival game. I completely agree with you there. And now the DLC for Lost in Nightmares has been released.

    I believe that Lost in Nightmares should have been the way to do resident evil 5. Mainly because it brings back the classic resident evil feel that we all love while using the next gen style of gameplay.

    I would really like to hear your review in Lost in Nightmares DLC Joe.

    Theres ONLY ONE WAY to improve OR restore a game to its glory
    Get the right team to work on it!
    The ones that know that is a RE game, or the ones who can make it better with new ideas and maybe eve treat us oldschoolers once in a while

    I don’t agree with the melee part, the only thing you use the knife for is open boxes and crates, use that in combat and your not very smart.

    They improoved the melee system, that involves shooting the zombie in a limb, run up, and do a combo move, thats the melee system, not the knife.

    Besides, only a bad gamer blames the controls. I have no troubles with it at all

    not a RE game, brilliant, but not RE, RE was at its prime with RE4, and it still has a chance to beat that, but if its next few games are like this, people would stop buying them and they wouldnt be making as much money, i know i would still buy them because they are fantastic games, but not RE games.

    i think it is a fantastic game and i would buy it, but it isnt a RE game, if all the RE games in the canon to come will be like this, i will be very dissapointed, i will still buy them because they are brilliant games and im collecting them, but they would not be RE, i think RE

    though kinda late and unlikely to be seen i have some added thoughts to what may make RE6 better, imo.

    similar to joes suggestion for the #1 part w/ an action & survival choice you could probably split that into 2 different campaigns
    seeing as how the games tend to go chris,leon,chris,leon, the net game would likely feature leon as the main protagonist in re6, however due to game franchises need to add more than remove, they probably keep the coop feature making the game more like re5(less scare more flare) as opposed to how it was in re4.
    so my thought is that they could bring chris and sheva/jill/other into the next game for its own coop campaign which would be more action oriented and have leon have his own single player campaign with some of that old scare stuff. both campaign can even tie into the same story if they wanted. its also a bit of a throwback to the old games where you could play the game from different characters PoV

    thats my thoughts

    o, and no more wesker lives because blah blah blah
    the dude got lava burned and double rocket faced

    hello this is my second post on this site i love your Work angry joe and by all rights you are correct and i agree with every thing you say BUT i do have a few of my own things i want to be say out there
    1: OK i read some of your people’s reviews and a lot of them are good and by no means do i think i am better or what not but but if you look and read you know those little notes or such there is story to it yes they should make a better story for cut scenes damn it i mean come on is story to much?
    2: OK i read this from some one zombies with guns yes a bad idea but umm you do know that these are not zombies right? The T-virus was not used on these are some thing WAY different (This will be brought up a bit more nexted) these are Majini and Uroboros.
    3: OK as i brought up be for these are not zombies from are beloved t-virus which is a bit saddening why change it? Sure the story could have been amazing but there wasn’t to much i assume cuase there a little smarter sense they can use guns,knifes ect (even seen talking some what) but here’s an idea have both i mean zombies would be (Same speed or slower) And could still pass the thing on threw bites well if you changed the look some the Majini and Uroboros ect could be Alot more interesting smarter,faster,use of weapons.
    4: They need to go back to the darker tone of thing’s bring back the horror this is a sad horror or even action horror or just plan horror game which makes me sad sense i love RE.
    5: And finally i like the idea of a “Survival” and “Action” option but they would have to Change a lot i think because lets face it if they made it action we know they would fuck it up and make it like left 4 dead and as fun (For a short time) it is running around shooting zombies it is not gripping i want the fear of Oh god this zombie or majini/Uroboros is going to kill me. not huh there is a bunch of zombies *bang bang* hahahaha cant touch this, i don’t mind if they make ammo more rare or keep it as easy to get if they can bloody balance it really in RE5 you can easily get plenty of ammo and there is only a Very few times i was worried after like the second chapter (Chapters are the DEVIL more so when you can just repeat them for money) you are all good no worry’s and if there is focus for a short time and make it so huh look i don’t run out or even have to reload.

    I think the real ball-buster is that now they’re releasing Super Street Fighter 4, which would have been some great DLC, as a standalone game.

    I get that it probably will be one of those things where they stop stocking the old version, but honestly I don’t want to have to trade in my old version (Which, hopefully there will be a gamestop promo or something) for something that could just as easily be sold on the PSN or on Xbox Live and done just as well.

    Capcom needs to get their F***ing priorities straight.

    “This game did alot of things well” This is when i knew this was crap from the beggining and i was right after the end. Few things can be agreed here, for one the Sheeva thing. Controls are bad? what do you have down syndrome? The controls are pick up and play, right from the demo i could use these simple controls. If you can’t figure out these controls you need to be in special schools, im sure those new classmates can teach you how. How in ****s sake can you run out of ammo in this game? This game gives you way too much ammo, it is made for children. How can you mess that up? Who uses the knife like that anyway?! Its not made for hacking at people, unless you know how too. You look like a brainless moron waving your knife at people from so far away. Thats what Guns are for…killing. The knife if for opening boxes, crates, ect. without using ammo. AngryJoes ideas are even worse than this game. I hope nobody takes him seriously. I don’t know whats worse some one talking about how good this game is or some one complaining about things that are fine in a horrible game?

    I agree with Nebusoldier….If you were to create a resident evil game with a Fallout 3 template, this would probably be the best game to hit the market in the last 10 years. We need more ppl to push for this!!

    You Are Making A Puzzle And…. (Bang) The Music Start And You Hear “STARS!!” I Shit Myself Everytime…

    I have to agree that the melee is not really good. and Resident Evil 5 feels to much like a average shooter game with point and shoot gameplay. They REALLY needed walk and shoot if they wanted to make this game more action like. My favorite part of the game however is the Merc mode. I just love playing as Wesker in that mode.

    I play versus mode all the time and I love it. It does have it’s flaws but it is still a very fun game to play in my book.
    Some say that Versus mode was already on the disk and what we download is something to “Unlock” the mode. And I believe it because it took a total of about 45 seconds to download it. But thats not what we were told from Capcom. We were told it was “Downloadable content” which isn’t “Unlockable content. Two different thing in my book. And if this was to be found out as true, I believe Capcom should at the very least refund everyones $5.00, make the download free, or else face a class action suit for fraud.

    I really liked Resident Evil 5 it was fun exciting and i could play with a friend whats not to like.

    Ill tell you:

    #1 Survival horror minus the survival. The horror element was lacking a bit sum parts made me jump but that was it. Ammo was everywhere its not that hard to survive with endless ammo.

    #2 Linear game play. Point A to B the whole game was like that one path. Lets see some more freedom of movement and exploring like Fallout 3.

    #3 Button pressing cut scenes. There cool the first time maybe second and third but every time its tedious and annoying. Lets have an option to turn them off after you complete them the first time round.

    #4 Non zombie zombies. Just like part 4 witch I’ve never played for the fact that there are no zombies. (I only got 5 for the co-op anyways)

    #5 Controls. No aiming and moving that they clearly stated would be there in a interview i saw on a Xbox live video! A very action orientated game and you can’t aim and move just BULLSHIT.

    #6 No fist person view. Not a very common argument cause all Resident Evil games (except the Survivor series) has been 3rd person
    but still a choice would have been nice. Let gamers play how they want to.

    #7 Lack of puzzles. Its funny i always bitch about previous RE games about the puzzles but i guess you don’t know what your missing until its gone lol.

    #8 Story. I’ve would have liked it better if the games went more with the movies as in a zombie APOCALYPSE. You know progressively worsening over time not this BIO Terrorism stuff.

    Besides my little list of complaints Resident Evil 5 was a great game.
    Like i said before i liked it a lot just to play with a friend was great.
    Co-Op in my opinion should be standard with all games now a days.

    THE ANGRY JOE SHOW RULES

    Keep up the good work.

    Later

    More reasons:

    1. It’s not even horror, like it supposed to be. It is not scary. (I know that you said that the genre was less SH (survival-horror) but more action. Sure, but action games can be scary too. Ummm… Doom3, F.E.A.R, and loads of other Action horror games.) That includes the game lightning. It’s not dark, like most horror games. Also includes Sheva (Chris, if you completed the game). It’s not scary, when you know she/he is going to help, You know she/he is right there, ready. In RE1 you go alone, and sometimes meet other characters.

    2. Too many enemies that can kill you in one hit. Especially “The Reapers” (the bugs that can catch you and kill you), It’s incredibly hard to kill these. Blast them with an RPG and it’s gone. But your pistols and AR’s don’t do a damn thing if you’re not shooting it in the torso when it’s opened. Then there’s “The Executioner Majini” (The big one with a gigantic axe.) Sure it doesn’t kill you most of the time but it’s still preety annoying.

    Well one thing I think you missed was the awful story and dialogue. And yes I know Resident Evil story was never anything profoundly deep lol, however this has turned into some bland action movie. The whole “partner” thing is so played out. I wanted to bash my head on my tv everytime I heard discourse between Sheva and Chris. The story hardly uses any history or characters from the previous series. What happened to Claire? Sherry? Rebbecca? Leon? Ada? HUNK cameo woulda been nice in merc. Who the hell was Krauser in RE4? I would’ve liked to see a bunch of events and characters from the previous games tie up all into this game.

    Other things… “zombies” (and I use that term lightly lol) with guns? Lul wut? that is a def no no in my book. Smart and weapon wielding “zombies” are bad enough :/.

    Um and a few sequences in the game left me wanting to stop playing. Perhaps its a personal thing but I don’t know anyone that actually enjoys the on rail turret gameplay (i.e. fighting the el gigante thing, shooting majini while on the truck). Those parts are so boring and frustrating and most definitley not fun. Also the faux puzzles are totally lame, like going on the boat to collect the fragments to unlock the door, which you nailed in the video. Either choose action or survival horror don’t try to make a mediocore blend of the two (and personally I hope they go back to survival horror :) )

    yay rant end lol

    i’ll be honest: you’re not really someone i want representing the gaming community.

    with that aside, the only part i’m in agreement with is #1. with resident evil 4 and 5, Capcom have steered far away from survival horror. it’s an action game by far, now, which is terrible for the series, but still makes for an entertaining game.

    as for the other complaints.
    #5 – the AI was only terrible if you weren’t telling her what to do. screaming for help when in trouble almost always resulted in her saving me a second later. putting her into attack mode made her lethal, and great backup. i’m not saying it doesn’t need improvement, and i’m not saying there weren’t moments where it drove me crazy, but it really wasn’t as bad as people think it was.

    #4 – since when has the knife been a viable weapon for destruction in ANY resident evil game? it’s only purpose in 4 and 5 were to push back enemies, and open crates and barrels, that’s it. i honestly don’t remember ever running out of ammo, for any gun, long enough to have to resort to killing with the knife.

    #3 – i don’t believe i’ve ever bought DLC that was worth what i payed. nearly every company who has put out DLC is known for this. as pessimistic as it is, we shouldn’t expect better.

    #2 – D-Pad. D-Pad. D-Pad. It’s called a quick-switch for a reason. With this, controls ultimately revolved around 4 different buttons that could be used in succession for different actions. 4 buttons that your hands barely even need to move to hit. How is that confusing, and “in the way of the player”?

    #0 – This is the one complaint that i’m horribly depressed that you didn’t bring up: Timed Button Mashing Sequences- this is the cheapest and lamest way to make a game seem harder than it actually is. Not immediately hitting a combination of buttons shouldn’t result in a sudden death that I otherwise have no control over. If i was being stupid and tried to fight a chainsaw wielding psycho head-on and forgot to move before they sliced into my flesh. Sure, that deserves an immediate death, not silly and inappropriate button mashing.

    RE 5 is a good game but the DLC pissed me off. Capcom wanted to leech on your wallet just for something that is already on the disc. I hate the fact that some people say ” If you don’t want to pay $5 for the DLC, then don’t buy it”. The DLC shouldn’t even be for sale at all if its locked away in a dungeon deep within the disc itself, it should already be available to us. The DLC was kind of a let down anyway, I spend $5 on that and I wont even play it again. People don’t want to waste money, we are in a recession (A special thanks to ex President Bush and his administration). Give us something that is actually worth money well spent and that is not already in the locked in the game.

    This was awesome!!! yup,you pretty much covered every flaw i saw in it,and i totally agree they should make the next one better,and that was a nice touch,the SURVIVAL MODE and ACTION MODE choices would be cool options to have in a Resident Evil video game,maybe instead of this letdown,they should’ve just made a game based on Resident Evil:Extinction,would’ve been better,but some film to game adaptations don’t make big hits with gamers,anyways thanks for saving me the money although i had thought of buying this game,but i needed an opinion from the gamers’ comments.

    Ok… I don’t know if anyone will read this comment . Since this video is kind of old (I kinda have a habit of finding them late…)

    Here’s a breakdown of the issue. Game Development companies DO NOT make games like you see in “How it was made” videos. Actually those videos mostly describe only the “art department”‘s work. Now let me begin my rant.
    1) RE5 is scripted to heaven and back and then some more. The “action scenes” are merely additions of some new pathway types and enitities.
    2) RE5 HAS THE LOGIC ENGINE OF RE4. It would take MORE THAN 1000 LINES of code to add an action mode. They spent most of the time trying to figure out what goes where in the PS3 and then backport to xbox360. As it was the case with RE4 the PC version of RE5 will most probably suck and lack any and all graphics effects and require a GeForce 7600 512MB because of the sheer unoptimization.
    3) The guy is right. “Cost Control” is THE department that makes or breaks tech. It ruins countless games and
    other products by taking shitty decisions (use plastic A not B because it’s $0.0012 cheaper) to save $200 on a $billion project (eg: Wii Straps, Iomega zip drive), early blu-ray units, early xbox360 models, etc…)
    4) Japan doesn’t exactly love America… the U.S.did nuke their asses. Think of it as a form of “getting back” (just kidding).

    Don’t like it, DON’T BUY IT! I mean REALLY DON’T BUY IT. YOU CAN live without it and the DEVELOPERS WILL get the message if you actually DON’T BUY IT, not just rant on a forum, then go to your console and play it some more. That is called hipocrisy!

    The “Fatal Frame” Series of games actually did what you suggested at one point. In “FF2: The Directors Cut” they had two play modes. The first was a traditional survival horror mode where you would be in third person then switch to first person to shoot. The second was a first person mode. I thought the first person mode controls were much better and it was scarier because the ghosts were “in your face.” I don’t know what happened because ” Fatal Frame 3″ didn’t have the first person mode.

    The controls are not the problem, the restrictions are.

    I think the control scheme is much better than in previous games, mainly due to the firing button actually being right trigger rather than X.

    If we can’t “run and gun” we should at least be able to strafe with weapons at the ready, like in cutscenes.

    And most importantly, I think the Machete/Knife should function more like the stun rod, but different.

    Tap the left bumper to draw it, keeping it out until you switch to another item. Then, you could either pull right trigger to slash and move at the same time, or then you could pull left trigger to initiate a counter move.

    When countering, it would have to be as a zombie was lunging at you [when they try to grab you and you have to spin the stick]. When you timed it correctly it could start a “button tab” sequence, including dodging the zombie, and then two or three flashy slashes/stabs to kill it.

    Another thing that would be nice would be if weapons could only have realistic capacities. I mean come on, there are extended magazines, and then there are just plain ridiculous capacities.

    Lets say you have a SIG .556. The first capacity upgrade could be a slightly longer box magazine, holding maybe 5 extra rounds. The second upgrade could be two box magazines secured together [either with tape or with a magazine clamp]. This would make it so the first reload per magazine set was very quick, just remove the pair and switch to the other, but then the next reload would be dropping the pair, getting a fresh pair, and then placing it in the receiver. The final capacity upgrade could be to a Drum magazine, holding 100 rounds, greatly increasing the capacity but also lengthening reload time due to balance it out.

    The controls did piss me off.

    I thought that Resident Evil 4 was ten times better than Resident Evil 5. In RE5 there is no adventure or survival horror at all. Instead RE5 is just another action game with horrible controls and bad computer A.I.

    In my opinion, RE5 has good graphics, but its just an alright game to me.

    yah i think that Resident Evil 1 and 2 were so scary was because of its shitty camera work, i mean when you dont know what will be around the corner is scary, but now you have control over the camera so its not scary

    They should totally ditch the tank controls already.
    The reason for the tank controls was due to the lack of dual analog controls, as well as the game’s pre-rendered backgrounds + fixed camera style back then.

    Now that there are vast improvements on 3D movement controls, as well as shooter controls these days, they should cut it out with the tank controls. They are clumsy and make the game more frustrating than it should be.

    I also thought of “Survival” and “Action” options. Not as modes but as difficulty.

    In the shooter Black, you can just move from point A to point B while taking out any enemies in the way for the lower difficulties.
    In higher difficulties, key items become a necessity in completing the missions.

    They could do the same here for RE, where on higher difficulties, you will need to find key items or solve puzzles like the classic Resident Evil game.

    Another thing they need to get rid of is dividing the game by chapters.
    By doing so, exploration is cut down, making the game not so enjoyable. The fun in older REs is that you not only find a key but you need to find the door you can use it on.

    Separating the game by chapters makes the game linear.
    For example, the key item you find in a chapter is usually exclusive to the chapter you are in.
    Find a keycard in a certain chapter and you will most likely find a card reader for it before the chapter ends.

    Crappy controls = crappy enemies.
    Because of tank controls + stand & shoot, you get stupid and slow enemies.

    The same reason why Wesker only looks cool in the cutscenes but dumb and slow when you actually fight him.

    I don’t usually don’t mind if a certain franchise I like is going through a different direction but it annoys me if whatever the result is has poor controls.

    How about they get rid of the stand and shoot thing, let you upgrade your inventory slots, and goddamnit make a Resident Evil Outbreak for PS3, 360, and PC.

      i completly disagree with u VALDRIN……to call this game a REsident evil “GAME” ur just being a disgrace to the resident evil community…. just hear from the words of the CREATOR of this series “I probably won’t play it. I won’t like it, because it’s not going to be the game I would have made,” said Mikami …… MIkami has left Capcom NOW!!! why?i dont know? but HE JUST PROVED TO US THAT GAME MAKERS HAVE CRAPPED ALL OVER HIS MASTER PIECE >.< !!!!!! RE series is getting worse people….and im THANKFUll for the work AngryJOE is doing to REVIVE IT!!!

        yeah man I agree, Capcom has crapped on the original creator of the RE franchise and its games. In my opinion RE has not been the same since Code Veronica! Even though RE4 was pretty cool ill admit but still I prefer the original game play from 1, 2, 3, CV, RE0 and the revamp RE1 from the GameCube. Plus when I do play RE4 and RE5 I feel like I’m playing an Arcade game not a Survival game. Capcom in my book for right now are COCK SUCKERS.

      Umm…what’s with the complaints about the menu? I thought you said you WANTED suspense. And did it ever occur to you that you can just use the D-Pad to equip the items in the middle upper, middle left, middle right, and middle bottom slots?
