10 Video Games Everyone Loves To Hate (That Totally Don't Deserve It)

3. Resident Evil 5

The Consensus:"It's not Resident Evil", "What the hell is up with Chris Redfield's arms?!", "This isn't for Resi fans"

The Truth: Many point to Resident Evil 4 as the true turning point (read: Downfall, in some peoples' eyes) of Resident Evil overall. Resi 5 though, suffered image problems in terms of Chris Redfield's over-inflated arms and stupidly macho appearance, the 'white saviour myth' ideology framing the story in a negative light - and that was all before people got very annoyed about how much of an action focus it had overall.

In truth, Resi 5 was a very accomplished shooter, one with meaty controls, a perfect variety of weapons, tactile aiming and a shlock-horror story propelling everything along.

It may eventually give way to the abomination that is Resident Evil 6, but Resi 5 was a perfectly serviceable and enjoyable blockbuster, not one deserving of any objective negativity.
