Tonight Tigerbomb and I finally beat Resident Evil 5. On the easiest setting. Once you get used to being rooted to the ground any time you aim a weapon (can't move at all when attacking) the game is usually fun. I say usually because more often than not you're out of ammo and have to attack with a melee weapon. The enemy moves away after you attack, meaning you have to put away your weapon, move forward a foot, then take it back out and attack. Not a big deal except the entire process takes 3-4 seconds and by that time you're being attacked again. Also, once you start chapter 6 (last 3 sections), unless you're close with the developers I suggest looking up the guide. You can only hit the boss characters in certain spots, and sometimes the hits don't even count until you trigger a cinematic, and the interactive cinematics require split second button pushes. Overall a good game, definitely frustrating at times, but as a wise gamer once said, you can't spell fun without frustration. Now on to Outrun.
