Resident Evil 5 vs. Gold Edition

[thedeparted]

RE5=22
GE= 47

Is the extra content that is in the GE worth the extra 25 bucks?

I'd say so. Gold has all the DLC.

[Subb]

i bought the gold edition and id say its worth it u get all the extras to the game. Ud spend atleast that buying it the extra content online thru xbox or psn

[EpsilonX]

It's probably worth it, but TBH It all comes down to whether or not you'd buy the DLC. and if you go with the regular edition, you can get all the stuff from gold edition as well

i think they switched the cover?

:o those zombie hands are on my laptop background :D those hands look sick

idk if it's worth it. i mean it could be if you played the DLC

[thedeparted]

If i only care about SP and Co-op would this change your guys suggestion?

[EpsilonX]

Once again, it all comes down to the bonus stuff.


A western version of Biohazard 5: Alternative Edition was announced for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in the form of Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition. Gold Edition will include the "Lost In Nightmares" episode. It was announced that the Gold Edition would include another campaign expansion called "Desperate Escape." In this episode players control Josh Stone and Jill Valentine as they journey to assist Chris and Sheva.[44] Gold Edition will also include the previously released Versus mode DLC, four new costumes, and an alternate Mercenaries mode, "The Mercenaries Reunion." Mercenaries Reunion features eight new playable characters as well as new item and time placement for the Mercenaries levels.

Sounds like the campaign is a bit longer and some alternate modes. you can get them all as DLC. So really it's up to you. I'd say get the original and if you REALLY want the extra stuff you can buy it

[Kenoi]

hmm. after reading certain responses, I think I might get this game... it does have... online play right? O_o

[thedeparted]

im was vaguely interested in it, then i found out it had mp co-op and lemon had it so i was really interested

[LemonRising]

: D online multiplayerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr


but yeah its fun.
havent gotten far though D :

and i think you're probably better off getting regular edition.

[Kenoi]

what ARE the downloadable contents? & thats great, online multi-player -- is it like a certain mission or like the WHOLE campaign?

[LemonRising]

ill tell you... when i try it?

: D

[Kenoi]

alright, wahoo! thanks

[EpsilonX]

I'm going to buy this as soon as I get to it. I currently finished disc 1 of Resident Evil 2. I just need my friend to find disc 2. Then I'm gonna play RE3, RE:CV, and RE4. Then RE5 lol.

[LemonRising]

lol going in order eh?

wish i had done that lolll

[thedeparted]

I should finish RE4 lol

[EpsilonX]

I should finish RE4 lol

You probably should before you play the sequel...It only makes sense.


lol going in order eh?

wish i had done that lolll

Considering all of the plots are connected, I wanna see how the story unfolds. And I'm not like certain people who play the games out of order. I've only ever played Star Ocean and Clock Tower out of order because they're only similar in name and play style, not plot. I hate though when people like....play Metal Gear Solid 4 without having ever touched a MGS game before (and then complain about the gameplay or cutscenes. in the past 3 MGS games you had just as many cutscenes, but in the past they were codec conversations. In MGS4 they were actual cinematics)

I got a bit off the point there, but eh. It's only logical to play the games in a series in order, unless that series is final fantasy, or some series that doesn't revolve around plot (sports games, racing games, etc)

[Kenoi]

man, I should have done that...
well, I've only played 2 & 3, & then I had 4 & Code Veronica...
also played the darkside chronicles. -- hidden stuff from code veronica i think

[LemonRising]

Eh I've played bits and pieces from RE games. I never seem to get the chance to play anything in order unless there are only a 1 & 2.

LUCK IS JUST NOT WITH ME.

[EpsilonX]

See, I avoided the games unless i've played them in order. I've cleverly avoided playing RE4 until i can play the first 4 that are before it (i'll probably save outbreak and file 2 for after i beat RE5)

It's gonna be a weird feeling when i finish all the RE games (im gonna even try survivor, though I doubt i'll get far in it)

[thedeparted]

well see eps I didn't 5 was the sequel but tks for sharing that info

[Aniki]

I love this game sooo much! But the gold edition, way better!

[LemonRising]

Howso? D:

tell me how I'm missing out so I can go curl up in a corner lol

[Aniki]

My brother ordered this from some website, he said it's for us to play together :P
I enjoyed the demo very much and the game isn't that scary at all, unless zombies starting raining! But that won't happen... is it!? It also has that remote move control option thingy.

[EpsilonX]

I think you misunderstood Lemon's post

[Aniki]

Are you talking to me? If you are, I didn't actually read his post xD Just talkin' about the game...

[EpsilonX]

well, considering noone else has posted since SHE did. lol

[Aniki]

Lol I didn't understood what she said, and all I did was post talkin' about the game :P eheh

[LemonRising]

Ah I meant, how is the gold edition better


lol

[Aniki]

Oh, that's what you meant! The gold edition is better because... um... because it is gooooold! Yeah, that's it... Kinda... Aw I'm just going to sleep!

[LemonRising]

lmfao okay

I should have known! Gold is great hahahaa

[EpsilonX]

man, this thread fails lol.

The gold edition just has some downloadable stuff on the disc already. I'd still get the regular one, i probably wouldn't play the gold bonus stuff anyways.

[Sickangel]

RE 5 is on my list of games to play... i havent gotten around to it yet but it looks like a great game.... it would be my first resident evil....

[moneill83]

Resi Evil 5: GE has the extra content, but Desperate Escape and Lost In Nightmares were dissappointing in my opinion, they were both far too short. So thank God Versus mode was included, it's the real highlight in my opinion.

[Raoul]

I've only played Resident Evil 5 I wanted to buy the Gold Edition, but I am not sure if I must, because I am enjoying Resident Evil 5 already.

[Kenoi]

I'm really thinking about getting the gold edition, cause I like to take time with even the small things in DLC. wait no, I like to take time with the whole game. haha

[Raoul]

What are the differences about the normal and the gold edition actually; because just now I decide to buy it then I am not really impressed about it.
