Show me a nes game that switches to first person when you point your controller at it, and latest technology that you could get 8 years ago.

I've been a little wary that you control everything with the Wii d-pad even though it's 3D with multiple camera angles. And also the story elements.

But I don't think it's worth worrying about. Nintendo very rarely fucks up gameplay. They know what they're doing in that department at least.

Having to stand still while in first person mode is complete dumbshit and will add difficulty where it doesn't need to be. I'm sick of artificial challenge because of a control decision.

I can't decide which subtitle is worse: Other M or Birth By Sleep

I'd save that judgement until you play it. This game is a toss-up but its interesting enough to give it a shot.

Dyne's new avatar is awesome. Bertien vs. Ernator.

Agreed. Hated it in Resident Evil 4&5.

I agree. That compounded with having to play with a bot in single player RE5 took the game down some notches for me. I wanted so bad to play by myself and not babysit a brain dead partner that used up my goodies.

I read an interview that said you have to do it sometimes during boss fights to find their weak spot. Fuck that. All that is is dumb frustration. I'll still play the game but I know it's going to aggravate the fuck out of me.

You're determined to hate it before you've even played it.
