RESIDENT EVIL 5

Resident Evil 5 ist ein etwas spezieller Teil der Reihe. Es orientiert sich stark an Resident Evil 4, geht aber noch mehr in Richtung Action. Klassischer Survival-Horror steht hier deutlich weniger im Fokus. Es gibt weniger Rätsel, weniger gruselige Momente und stattdessen viel mehr Kämpfe und größere Action-Sequenzen.

Das Spiel spielt diesmal in Afrika, was für die Reihe eine ziemlich ungewöhnliche Kulisse ist. Ich fand das eigentlich ganz interessant, weil sich die Umgebung dadurch deutlich vom Rest der Serie unterscheidet. Man reist durch verschiedene Gebiete, von Dörfern bis zu Anlagen und Ruinen, wodurch es visuell immer wieder Abwechslung gibt.

Storymäßig spielt man Chris Redfield, der zusammen mit seiner Partnerin Sheva Alomar unterwegs ist. Dabei geht es wieder um einen neuen Virus – den Uroboros-Virus – und natürlich tauchen auch bekannte Figuren wie Albert Wesker auf. Außerdem spielt die Suche nach Jill eine wichtige Rolle.

Das große Highlight des Spiels ist ganz klar der Koop-Modus. Resident Evil 5 ist stark darauf ausgelegt, zu zweit gespielt zu werden, und das funktioniert wirklich gut. Gemeinsam Ressourcen managen, sich gegenseitig helfen und Kämpfe koordinieren macht definitiv Spaß. Alleine mit KI-Partner geht es zwar auch, aber richtig glänzt das Spiel erst im Koop.

Unterm Strich ist Resident Evil 5 für mich ein gutes Koop-Actionspiel, aber eher ein schwächeres Resident Evil, wenn man die klassischen Teile im Kopf hat. Der Horror ist deutlich zurückgefahren und das Spiel setzt viel stärker auf Action. Trotzdem macht es Spaß, vor allem wenn man es mit einem Freund zusammen spielt.

Gutes Spiel.
Komplett im Coop gespielt und das hat sich gelohnt.

Dieses Spiel hatte ich damals 2009 schon bis zum Umfallen gezockt. Allerdings ohne die DLCs und ohne Steam.
Folgerichtig musste ich bei der Gold Edition zuschlagen!
Was ich überhaupt nicht nachvollziehen kann ist, dass Capcom sich dazu entschlossen hat, den Versus Modus mit in die Erfolge aufzunehmen, anstelle des Söldner Modus. :(

Gutes Game , auch all den jahren... Jetzt das erste mal im co op und macht schon spaß!! nachdem wir uns an die steuerung gwewöhnen musstej

My, my. Coming back to change my review. I bought a bundle with RE4+RE5+RE6 to start my journey with the RE-franchise. Well. I hated it. I actually dropped these games for around 2 years until I picked them back up and gave them another chance. And now I really got into the RE-Games. And RE5 is my favorite right now.
STORY
You play as Chris or Sheva and you're on a mission in Africa. You fight through virus infested villages, ruins, oil fields, swamps and on a ship. You learn more about an Uroboros-Virus and the greatest Villain in the Resident Evil Franchise: Albert Wesker.
CHARACTERS
I love both of them. Chris as the big muscular guy, trying to track down Wesker. And cute little Sheva, she's just happy to be there. (She's badass.)
GRAPHICS
I played (and 100%) the old RE4 before RE5 and the graphics have definitely improved. Also the Cutscenes look much better.
CONTROLS
The controls are similar to the old RE4, they're still clunky, but they feel nicer. I mean, I had to get used to the RE4-movement, so it didn't take long to understand the RE5-movement.
It's still a shame that you're not able to move while aiming and firing and that the camera is still clunky.
QTE's are still a thing here. But different buttons than RE4. Note: I play on PC/Keyboard.
GAMEPLAY
I really enjoyed RE5, even more than RE4. It's a hell of a grind, but once you get infinite weapons and the infinite Rocket Launcher, the game gets so much easier. I love that you can just keep EVERYTHING that you collected in your playthroughs, use chapter select, choose any difficulty and continue with your loadout.
The inventory system was confusing at first, but it's basically like a passive and an active inventory.
I was so scared to start my professional playthrough, so I took a lot of time to get gold, upgrade everything, get a lot of healing items and buy infinite ammo and then my professional playthrough went sooo smooth. And that was the reason why the game was still fun even after multiple playthroughs. You just shoot through everything.
LANGUAGE
My native language is german and it's possible to have the menu and overlay in german, but the voicelines will stay in english. Just like in RE4. Although... I recommend deactivating the subtitles as they sometimes say different sentences than what's actually being said.
DIFFICULTY
My first playthrough was on Amateur and it was pretty hard, ngl. Without weapon upgrades and no knowledge about boss mechanics, some instances were a pain. But then I started farming money and upgraded my weapons and repeated some chapters again and again (for trophys, emblems and overall achievements) and it all started to get easier. I knew where to go, what to do, I knew the mechanics of the enemies. It grew to me and it became a joyful experience.
For the Story-DLC's on professional I recommend an actual real player as your companion, since the AI is pretty stupid and dies very quickly.
GAMETIME
My first playthrough was on amateur mode and it took me around ~8 hrs.
Then I jumped between chapters to get collectibles and achievements. And then I did my veteran run (with infinite Magnum!!) which took me 3.5 hours.
Since this run was under 5 hours, I managed to get the Infinite Rocket Launcher.
And then I did the professional playthrough which took ~5 hrs.
After that I did the Story-DLC's and the Versus-Trophys. I think that took me around 20-30 hours or more.
ACHIEVEMENTS
It's a hell of a grind. But I enjoyed it. I'm so glad the maingame has chapter select and the possibility of keeping your inventory and use infinite ammo aswell.
For the DLC's: The Story-DLC's are short (around 1.5hrs), but very hard on professional, since the AI is not good, dies quickly and you can't use infinite ammo. I recommend looking for another player to join. I was very lucky and met a proplayer who had some insane tipps, tricks and tactics for both Story-DLC's. He was able to not get hit a single time on "Desperate Espace" professional mode. (My guy, if you're reading this: THANK YOU!!)
Versus-Trophys: Fortunately, the playerbase is pretty active. You can find people in the "Discussion"-section for this game. Many people are looking for groups for the versus-trophys. I was able to join three groupchats and had versus-teams every day. (Thanks to all of you!!)
PRICE
I bought RE5 in a bundle with RE4 + RE6 for 15,02€ and I would recommend buying it in bundles.
The games are old and more remakes are on the way.

Ich war Chris und er hat so crack geraucht undso und er ist voll der chud aba auch bissl diesen huan undso

Mit freunde ist es schon verdammt witzig und gut. Empfehlenswert aber nur in co-op
