I don't know about a lot of people, but to me, the problem with RE5 was the unnecessary amount of action. When I got into Resident Evil (the Director's Cut of RE1 back in 1997), the focus of the series was horror and atmosphere, and RE5 lacks both of them (replacing horror with action and atmosphere with bland backgrounds).

This basically sums it up. I got into Resident Evil after watching my best friend play it. Eventually, I was able to get Resident Evil 3, which is my personal favorite, and start my own collection.

Your analysis of Resi 5 is spot on - I felt like it abandoned the elements that I found so intriguing as a kid getting into survival horror. That said, I had a blast playing through the game with my friend, certainly a fun game.

When I saw Resi 6 seemed to be going more in the action direction, I was really put off by it - I wanted my old style Resident Evil back. But, I've heard from you, and other people, that Leon's campaign in particular is supposed to be pretty good. When the game gets cheaper, I may pick it up.

Thank you, I appreciate your effort in listing the games in order and explaining each one. I also happen to have a copy of Degeneration on Blu-Ray

I've been a Resident Evil fan longer than ZOE has existed, so there's little I don't know about the series.

Sorry, Vic, I just noticed that you posted on the thread (I should really look more). My conversation with Fox just kind of took over, I guess. Check Amazon in the next month or so, I imagine it'll be down to cheap as soon as possible. In fact, I'm checking there as I type this, and I've found it for just under $40.
