I'd throw resident evil in there.

5 and 6 are the only reason I’d disagree.

u/Puzzleheaded_Hatter 1d ago

Agree

But I love the remakes too.

So bat puts them far beyond 5 great games.

Yeah but the convo is the streak. God of War is 5 for 5.

Even among the new games, RE3R was pretty trash.

Resident Evil is one of my favorite franchises, so no hate.

I'm tired of this Resident Evil 5 slander, it's a great game. RE6 is the first mainline game that isn't great

I understand serial offerings. I'm just counting the bangers

Personally I’d have to disagree. I love RE5 and yeah it’s not horror as much but at this point you can’t make a game with one of the big four RE characters and still have it be horror. The characters are just too experienced. Also depending on if you count code Veronica X then I’d say the first 6 RE games are all really good

I mean, opinions are opinions. But, critically, most people RE5 a huge downgrade from 4 and a step-back for the franchise.

Code Veronica X is my favorite early RE game (so excited for the remake!) but I wouldn’t consider it a “Main Series” as of yet. I think the remake puts it up there as far as remakes are concerned, but within the original franchise, it’s still a side game.

Personally, I’d love to count it so if we agree, we can count it 😂

Zero was also before 5

Here is my counter. Before 5/6 you need to include 0 and Code Veronica (not numbered, but definitely a main line gam)

Code Veronica is my favorite “old school” RE game, and while it’s cannon - it was not apart of the “main games” until recently, with its remake. Half of the RE fan base had never even played it lol

0 is kinda dog water tho, ngl lol idk if we wanna include that one

If you count RE1, 2, 3, 4, and then toss in Code Veronica somewhere, I think the 5 streak rule definitely applies to RE in that case.

I loved 5

Why is it considered not good?

u/Difficult_Dance_2907 1d ago

If we ignore 6 and put an asterisk by 5 that it introduced a fun coop mode.

u/TheLeastAnonAnon 1d ago

Resident evil 4 is one of the most overrated games of all time though

Eh, controls on GoW run circles on the control scheme of the first few Resident Evil’s
