Resident Evil 5

Wow, there are a lot of complaints about this game in regards to controls (not only from here.. read some crap on kotaku). I think the game plays fine and I think people's complaints of not being able to shoot while running is silly; if you could run+shoot, might as well name the game "Resident Evil: Gears of War". I like the new control system (along with the strafing), but if it doesn't work for some people, there's always the RE4 control settings. The game looks great and is staying with the RE4 formula (which works... why change it?). The addition of co-op is also awesome, altho I personally think it detracts from the "survival-horror" element (or what's left of it). Regardless, it's still a fun game. Plus, it looks like they're doing interesting things with the RE storyline, which has definitely caught my attention (Wesker? Sherry.. Spencer is finally revealed?)

Also, always aim for the head in this game. In RE4, aiming for the enemies' knees was also effective, but that doesn't seem to be the case in this game. There are more reaction commands, which is great. Use the knife when the enemy is on the floor. If you want to avoid wasting ammo, let zombies without weapons attack you and call for your partner to kick them down before they hurt you. It's cheap, haha.

I think the biggest part of the complaining was that you couldn't run and shoot because the morons at Inside Xbox got an interview with the Capcom developers saying that they would be including that in their gameplay. The demo comes around, they come up short and people get mad. Failure on Capcom's part.

It's the same gameplay and control style as RE4, guys. There really shouldn't be that big of a dissatisfaction towards it. Sure there are more zombies that are harder to kill and faster than you are sometimes...

...but isn't that how Resident Evil works?

With strafing... Which totally threw me off.
I am apparently not coooblordinated enough to strafe, run, aim, strafe run aim all at once. My character just stood there twitching and running into things.

But yes, I know there is a pure RE4 control option (Type A)...
