croikSo I beat RE5 and here are my stats!
Clear time on normal: 11:53
Rescued Sheva: 21 times
Rescued by Sheva: 38 times
Saved Sheva from death: 14 times
Was saved from death: 18 times
Killed by enemies: 15 times (5 from Reapers, 3 from chainsaws)
Killed by other: Maybe 6 or 7? The game doesn't seem to keep track of those, but I died at least once from a laser, a quicktime event, and several trips into firey bathtime.
Weapon with most kills: Handgun, 130 (30 headshots)
Most accurate weapon: PSG-1, 90% (7 headshots)
All in all I enjoyed it. It had that usual Capcom action game feeling where you wish the plot was a liiiiittle bit more original, but it did the job, and by the end I really liked Chris and Sheva: Chris just sounds so cute when he's worried, and Sheva is just cute all around. Her AI was sketchy in only a few really noticable parts (i.e. refusing to use cover or NOT walk directly into a laser) but overall I enjoyed having her as a partner. Now that I've finished one time through I do plan to go back and try some online co-op, in case there are any PS3 peeps here that want to swap PSN :D
But of course we can't really talk about RE5 without mentioning at least a little bit about racism!!!
As in, did anyone else find it bizarre and unnerving that Wesker was pretty much trying to spread the Aryan Virus worldwide?? There's a lot you can say about launching the world's largest "ethnic cleansing" bio-terrorism plot from the heart of Africa, never mind the fact that it turned white-girl Jill even more white. I mean in the end Wesker was a super asshole and the whole point is to slaughter him, so it's not like the game is promoting wiping out all humans with "inferior" DNA, and the "I'll save the world by destorying humanity" bit has been around the block a few times now anyway... but TK and I exchanged a few looks, that's for sure.
Anyway, in the end the choice of setting, while maybe not the most sensitive, made sense for what they were trying to do. I hope that if Chris shows up in future games Sheva won't be far behind. It would be a shame for her to disappear now that Jill's back (though RE is pretty well known for letting characters disappear...?) Either way I'll still get my chance to play through as Sheva!
In short, good game, could have been longer, and I wish we could make a law against Capcom using giant insects and fleshy tentacles for monsters, but that's not gonna happen. I liked that 5 was so close to 4 but I'll be glad if 6 goes in a new direction.
In the meantime, I would like Chris/Shiva/Jill doujinshi plz.
