Hey /v/, the capcom sale for Xbox One ends tomorrow and I'm on the fence about which Resident Evil game I should get. Resident Evil 4 or Resident Evil 5?
I'm leaning a bit towards RE5 but I have a feeling your opinions might convince me otherwise
Depends, have you played RE4 or 5 before? If not, pick up RE4 first. Great title all around and is the best of the 3rd person Resident Evils. 5 has great co-op play and does look better, but suffers from shorter length and more action-y then anything else.
Get both or only RE4

Feel like I should mention, never played a Resident Evil game before (Except for 7 but that doesn't count), but I am a huge fan of the Dead Space series which I hear has similar gameplay
>>376203865
Get RE4 definitely
RE 5 with a friendeven though the game feels like it was designed for 1 person

How long does each campaign last?

RE5
pros:
>More replay value
>Best Mercs mode in the entire series with a huge variety of characters and loadouts assuming you have RE5 Gold
>Sexy brown girl with the best alternate costumes in the series
>Fun boss fights
>Interesting enemy variety
>Genuinely difficult but satisfying Professional difficulty
>Still a fantastic looking game
>Easy to platinum/100%
>Interesting subtle character development for Sheva
cons:
>Forced co-op
>Chris
>Le jewel hunting
>Short as fuck
>Nothing but Inf Ammo L Hawk faggots online now
>Not a lot of puzzles
>Story isn't single player starring Sheva only

Get both. They're both fun as fuck.

4 is a must play.

I personally like re5 more, the co-op is fun. upgrading all your shit is neat. replaying with infinite ammo is fun too
I got the triple pack a few weeks ago, with 4/5/6. My favorite was 5 and I have replayed it multiple times since then. I beat 4 once and have zero interest in going back to it. I will never touch RE6s campaigns again but the mercenaries and multiplayer modes are pretty fun, if you can find a game that is.
Overall I'd say 5 > 6 > 4. If you like 5, 4 is more of the same...but worse, but at least you know what you're getting.
