Resident Evil 4 Was The Game Changer

Depending on who you ask, Resident Evil 4 is one of the best games ever made and the peak of the series, or RE4 is when the series really started to go off the rails, and its influence hurt the gaming world as a whole.

In fact, I think that some of the backlash that Resident Evil 4 gets is less about the game itself, and how it changed the industry at large, for better or for worse.
I also haven't touched Resident Evil 4 for over a decade...my last playthrough was shortly before RE5 launched in 2009. Part of me kept it that way because of how I held it in my mind, but it was time to revisit Resident Evil 4. Depending on what day of the week you asked me, it was my favorite game.
Resident Evil 4 is still fantastic, although now I think I prefer the 2002 remake as the best Resident Evil game, I still hold it as one of the best games ever made. Often duplicated and imitated, but pretty much never topped. Even the Resident Evil 4 Remake couldn't touch it.

Thank you for standing by Ashley. You can hate her if you hate escorting NPCs in general, but as far as escorting NPCs goes - she's a dream
-
leon is the master of bad jokes and "What the-?!"
-
WAIT WAIT It's literally just occurred to me that Leon must have contacted Hunnigan whilst he's speedboating away from the Island. He's telling her he's just rescued the subject and is returning home. That means Leon just straight up asked for Hunnigan's number after just rejecting Ashley WHILST ASHLEY IS RIGHT THERE CLUTCHING ON TO HIS BACK. Straight savage.
-
Pushes up glases Del Lago is a mutated salamander not a fish.
-
The reason nobody made fun of RE4 being rereleased was because new games were still being made.
-
I don’t scare very easily but man I remember playing this game on the Cube way back in the day and pissing my pants every time I got to a new room and heard the staggered breathing of those regenerators
-
“Avoids continuing the Redfield bloodline” ETHAN
-
The Village at night was one of the best and immersive levels. I wish that atmosphere was retained across the game. Still it was a good experience.
-
Ashley and how she Ducks and Stays Out of Your Way made her one of the Best examples of an escort mission imo. Most are insufferable, but Ashley at least has big ballistics.
-
For me the most gruesome death was the one you get when the novistador bugs throw acid on Leon's face. It's a kinda rare death, I only discovered it years after I first played the game, back in 2005 :D
-
Everyone: We want more horror games. Konami: Got it! More pachinko machines!
-
It is almost shocking how well this has held up; re-played it myself a few months back and it truly is one of the greatest games ever made. I get the argument that it took RE in a different direction, but just by itself, it’s just so amazingly well-made and so friggen fun EDIT: also, best inventory system of all time
-
30:01 holy sh** Ashley takes a zealot to Suplex City! Hot dang, a winner is you
-
"You'd think that they might send a little more firepower and manpower on such a mission" Yeah, I thought that was why they sent Leon 🤔
-
The second fight with Krauser was the big troll for me i ran out of ammo twice before i realised i could just knife him to death lol
-
My favorite game of all-time. No matter how many times I play it, I will never get tired of it.
-
I've played this game so many times... Watched so many reviews/retrospectives... And yet, when a creator I like posts a review about it? You bet your ass I'm going to join to reminisce. At the end of the day, probably my personal GOAT.
-
This was perfect timing because I just completed this game yesterday I love it
-
Ashley is the OG example when people talk about escort missions, but it's because the game was so important. Ashley is probably one of the best examples of how to do it right.
