The only thing wrong with RE5 and 6 is the action, and judging by overwhelmingly positive reactions to RE4 gameplay, that was never the issue to begin with either.

All RE5 and 6 are is a step up from RE4 in every way but story and atmosphere, which are actually worse. I see more praise for RE4 than i do praise for RE5 and 6. I also see a ton of praise for RE8 which is, again, kinda making the RE community look bipolar because RE7 uh...... "saved" (not really) the franchise and was popularized as a return to the series roots (not really).

Just don't understand the bipolarity of this fanbase. One game we hate action mechanics and variety in RE6, then we want more of it in RE7, then everyone goes nuts that RE8 has more combat focus, but we also love the RE2 Remake for having the over the shoulder perspective and allowing more visceral action, but bash RE3R because it's shorter and linear but otherwise similar to RE2 in every other way, and we've gone to praising the RE4 Remake for having the same mechanics people hated RE6 for in the first place........

I got unhinged in that last bit but i just can't understand people anymore. It's like no fanbase can even make up their minds what they want anymore.
