awesome game. you should port bloodborne.

Probably like the 8th time i've bought this game, that's how good it is. This game won a ton of awards 11 years ago, and it's usually on top games of all time lists, no matter what the nostalgic RE fans who think static camera angles and tank controls are better. Don't get me wrong, I liked RE2 and RECVX, but ♥♥♥♥♥ sakes, this is way better. I grew up with this and the RE Remaster, but this game has so much replay value that I poured hours into it on the gamecube trying to get the handcannon and things like that.

This game is the gold standard for resident evil that capcom was really never able to reach again, and that's why they're changing the series yet again with REVII. It was the last RE game directed by Shinji Mikami, and boy does it show. RE4 isn't the highest selling in the series, but it was so good that capcom broke their agreement with Nintendo for it to be an exclusive on the gamecube after only 9 months.Compare that to something like Dead Rising, that took 10 YEARS to be ported to other consoles. If you look at the box art for the original RE4, it actually says it's an exclusive for the gamecube.

According to metacritic, it's the 24th best game of all time, right behind Half Life. If you're looking for a fun action-horror game, you're in the right place. I envy those who haven't played this game. This isn't a remaster, though. Wish they would do a real one.
