Is Resident Evil 5 a misunderstood classic? A reader believes so, arguing that not only is it a great game, but its co-op mode is the best in the gaming world. While there has been a recent survey showing that many people, especially older gamers, prefer single-player games to multiplayer, the reader believes that publishers continue to focus on multiplayer due to its potential for microtransactions.
But what the survey also reveals is the popularity of local co-op, despite the lack of big budget games offering this option. The reader finds this puzzling, especially since the recent success of It Takes Two, a game with over 20 million copies sold, showcases the demand for co-op experiences. And while Resident Evil 6 is widely considered the worst mainline game in the series, with its bloated plot and poor combat, it does offer a two-player co-op mode.
This co-op feature was first introduced in Resident Evil 5, which the reader believes is a much better game than Resident Evil 6. While it may not be a traditional survival horror game, it offers a fun and engaging co-op experience. The game's portrayal of Africa may be questionable, but the reader believes this could easily be fixed in a remake.
What makes Resident Evil 5 stand out is its co-op gameplay. With a friend, the game becomes a completely different experience. The higher number of enemies and the need for teamwork adds a new level of excitement and tension. The reader also appreciates the puzzles and situations that are unique to co-op play, highlighting the fact that the game was designed with two players in mind.
It's a shame that Resident Evil 5 is often seen as a lesser entry in the series, especially since it remains the best-selling game in the franchise. The reader believes this is due to its fantastic gameplay, and questions why more Resident Evil games and games in general don't offer co-op experiences. Perhaps, the reader suggests, it's because they don't rely on microtransactions.
In conclusion, the reader argues that Resident Evil 5 deserves a remake not only to showcase its fantastic gameplay, but also to prove to publishers that couch co-op is a much bigger draw than they realize. And with the recent success of games like It Takes Two, it's clear that there is a demand for co-op experiences in the gaming world.
