    Is it just me or does anyone here find that Resident Evil 5 is very very disgusting?

    look at wikipedia and you will see what I mean I am not saying that African people are stink or anything like that. But the scenery behind the people with the rotten galvanize shacks and shanty town of the 4th world african slums that we see on BBC world just does not cut it for me for a video game.

    I have seen much for the 3rd world in real and I can tell you I never want to see that again.

    but here we have res 5 which just brings nightmare about poverty to people.

    Well luckily you wont be able to smell. I don't really see what the big deal is it's just a video game. You don't like the backdrop for whatever reason, simple solution don't play it.

    Yeah but god damn who wants to see rotten galvanize?

    The best is when they have wooden houses American style or russian or caucasian style whatever you want to call it.

    Res5 is placed in an African slum kind of environment. Very nasty fill of germs and very stinking and rottening.

    Resident Evil 4 was great possibly the greatest game ever made.
    But Res 5 is just plain dirty and disgusting.

    Don't we see enough of them 3rd world slum on BBC world?

    I feel that the dirty slum kind of environment is kind of the point. Games can be all beautiful with fantastic scenery, but riddle me this, if you are trying to make a game seem real to life wouldn't you show the slums because they exist in real life?

    Last time I checked if you watch any of the apocalyptic movies or games like Resident Evil: Extinction or Metal Gear Solid 4, the point is realism. What is more real than dirty homeless people's galvanized buildings? LOL

    I don't get it... you're saying that the slum is more disgusting than a horde of zombies beating you up and ripping you apart? I think the game and atmosphere look great. If you don't like it... then just don't buy it.

    You see the thing is you have never seen rotten galvanize in real life. Or a shanty town so you would think its very nice. But in reality just seeing that disgusting carp makes me feel sick.

    It reminds me again that Africa will never evolve while the rest of the world makes microchips and cars etc. They still practicing voodoo and dancing some retarded dance whole day and building houses with galvanise roof while America and Europe uses shingle and slate!!
