Caltrops - Resident Evil 4





	[quote name="fabio"]Finally got it on one of the frequent $5 sales and I'm ready to put it down after an hour. It's this awful terrible inbetween of 4's balls out action and previous games' survival horror. Except the atmospheric survival horror aspect can never be developed because levels are small and end in less than 20 minutes. The action never gets going because everything is a cramped corridor. You can finally move around while aiming, and one of the early levels at the 40 minute mark sprains Chris' ankle and <i>immobilizes you</i> as you shoot enemies. Such a terrible joke. This series really needs to stop trying to have a plot. Either go full 4 cheesy or stay the fuck home. It got to Max Payne 3 levels of "play a tiny short section, watch a boring cutscene". Constantly changing location was bad enough, but they make it worse with jumbled timeline nonsense. Jesus christ you guys don't even have the chops to tell a straightforward story. The scanner that makes you go into detective vision every room slowly scanning stuff is obviously some mandated shoehorned DS feature and it should have been thrown right into the garbage for any port. 10 of the 60 minutes I played was a boring tutorial level of nothing but cutscenes and scanning.
