I realise Resident Evil's camera can be bad. And some people find it unplayable, but if you can get used to the gameplay mechanics and camera system, it's good. Plus, I find MGS relatively easy and straight forward, actually, especially in comparison to some games I have played. I guess I'm used to that "Japanese way of playing games", as I am the "Western way of gaming".epitaph wrote:I'm most likely going to be flamed for this, but I find RE4 to be the only playable Resident Evil. The others have not stood up to the test of time well at all and employ all kinds of cheap gameplay mechanics (the camera - ugh - among other things) to increase the supposed "difficulty", and herein lies one of my problems with many, many video games - their tendency to pass off poor gameplay for difficulty. I've gotten the impression that it's especially common in Japanese games (JRPGs do it a lot; the RE series did it and still does it to some extent; MGS does it etc.), but I could be wrong.
But yeah, I can certainly see where you're coming from when it comes to RE, it is a bitch, especially Survivor for PSX...
