That sounds like one hell of a gaming session. sheeeesh.

We finally finished this over the weekend. Played with a friend, co-op since launch on veteran. We tried to limit it to one level per weekend and crawl at a snail's pace thru each section (and we STILL missed BSAA emblems somehow hah!). Took us 19 hours on the ingame clock - but im gonna say closer to 25-30. I loved it. Im gonna put it side by side with RE4 - the co-op is just too damn fun. Veteran has us hurting on ammo in certain spots, very intense. Not to mention we died a billion times on the last couple bosses.

Mercs seems like a blast. Exploding heads everywhere. The 2nd costumes have Sheva and Chris looking like such assholes. The first cutscene where they change into those costumes on the 2nd playthru is hilarious.

Only 2 things irked me: I wish it was longer. I wonder why they cut back from the amount of environments from RE4? Surely they could have added more areas. They spent a ton of time with the story side, especially with the readable documents and such - but then the game just ends. They could have hinted at what direction things were going to turn as an epilouge. But, nothing in that ending...

I see this game sold very well so thats good. Capcom is just knocking it out of the park. It'll be very interesting to see where the series and story goes from here. Time to replay the earlier games...

I finally beat RE4 so I'm going to open up RE5 and play some this week. I wonder if it's going to take me as long to finish.

Resident Evil 4 is the longest Resident Evil game you will ever play. You should be able to beat RE5 in a long weekend, without even trying that hard.

On a subsequent playthrough, even if I didn't start with already-beefed-up-weapons, I could probably beat it in 12-13 hours. The first run always has time spent figuring out all the fights, and there were a few sections where we tried to fight when really we should have just been running, especially early on.

It's too bad the vests take up inventory space when they're technically on your person, and it's also too bad they don't stack.

I never finished RE4. I think I'll probably do that now.

This is the first RE game I have ever beaten.

So anyone want to play this sometime?

I think you missed the TNL boat on this one.

well at least I had the friend boat.

I think I might just sell it. I've owned it for about 40 hours.

RE5 isn't very long at all.


I actually like RE5 a lot more than RE4. For some reason, I just couldn't get into RE4. It was just bland to me....it wasn't a horrible game and I did enjoy it at first but I found myself grow tired of it and just wanted the ending to come as fast as possible.

Maybe it's because I'm a huge sucker for the classic PS1 Resident Evil so playing RE5 and seeing some old faces again made me like it even more.

RE5 is the perfect rental.

too bad the blockbuster was closed when we got there. I would have saved 55 bucks.
