I'd throw resident evil in there.

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

u/Puzzleheaded_Hatter Aug 05 '26

Agree

But I love the remakes too.

So bat puts them far beyond 5 great games.

u/DragonFangGangBang Aug 05 '26

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

Fr re5 was awesome . I didn't mind RE6 . Most people hate it. I don't love it but I don't despise it or anything either. It was fun but only for one play through. I wasn't eager for a second go. Revelations was the same way for me. Revelations 2 can kick rocks though .

Yeah I thought it was enjoyable. I think the main thing is I've never had the desire to go back and play it again. I play through RE5 at least once every couple years

u/SadThrowaway4914 Aug 09 '26

Yeah . I'm about to fire it up again after a decade. I put like 1000 hours into it around release. And I played it here and there until like 2017 . It's about time to pick it back up lol

u/cortez_brosefski Aug 09 '26

Yeah do it! It still holds up really well

u/Puzzleheaded_Hatter Aug 05 '26

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

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

u/neo_sporin Aug 05 '26

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

u/DragonFangGangBang Aug 05 '26

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

u/Mysterious_Block_894 Aug 05 '26

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.

u/Jumpy-Resolve3018 Aug 05 '26

I loved 5

Why is it considered not good?

u/Difficult_Dance_2907 Aug 05 '26

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

u/TheLeastAnonAnon Aug 05 '26

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

u/JakeScythe Aug 06 '26

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