CGRoverboard RESIDENT EVIL 5 for PC Video Game Review

[boba1mighty]

CGR Deserves better reviews. I have a couple of tips for you guys. 1. Get her a better computer- this should have been recorded in full HD. 2. Play the whole game.I didn't hear anything about upgrading weapons, secrets, or any of the other game modes. 3. USE THE FRIGGIN CONTROLLER. ITS A PC, YOU HAVE OPTIONS!!!

[PedanticGamer]

Worst review I have ever seen. Idiot reviewer warning.

[Games5522]

Nobody gave two shits when you were shooting all of those zombified spaniards in resident evil 4. If a game is set in africa would you not expect the majority of the people there to be african?

[mjkl131]

@Games5522 THANK YOU! WHY IS IT SO RACIST TO BLACKS IN AFRICA WHEN YOU KILLED SPANISH IN RE4!? And oh ya, if you are willing to pay at least 600$ laptop, it can run this. Hell, my 600$ laptop runs Crysis at some of the highest settings.

[OrdoMallius]

Racist? Get the fuck out of here.

Thumb'd down

[MySleepingSickness]

Black people in Africa?!? Call the fire department!

[genericutubechannel]

I don't know if the writer of this so called 'review' is reading this comment, but I hope you realise what an untalented, poor writer you are and just how ignorant your remarks are against this game. For the love of god, please do not follow up a career of reviewing. This video was literally cringe worthy. Just stop pretending you have any talent in this business, because you don't. This review was a heap of maggot infested turd and I hope the writer feels ashamed for giving reviewers a bad name

[Aethan001]

I'm really getting sick of shit like this. this game isn't racist you fucking moron.

[LPmelaniphy]

I use to like you until I war watched this video..racist? Really? It's in Africa! Do you expect Fucking Asian zombies running around in Africa?

[sebasvigueras]

resident evil 5 pc is a 1000 times smother prettier and playable than in consoles... if you have a right pc. get a gaming pc, never play consoles again. by the way i havent noticed the "racism" in this game, i gues i dont see white people killing black people i just see people killing zombies, i gues im not a racist.

[sosbigote]

it looks like a wii game XD

I have this game for xbox and it look way better then this

[Chaoitcme]

The reviewer of this is the one being racist even if she does not know it. Everything that she said sounds like reverse racism. Her politically correctness is blinding her from the content. She sees dark skinned African people getting killed and she calls it racist. Um this takes place in Africa where a majority of the people are dark skinned. What does she want a bunch of white or Asian people being the infected that are trying to kill you. What a joke.

[Dehumanizer3000]

Your playing it on a laptop... Why not get a real computer?

[internisus]

I think this must be the worst writing I've ever seen or heard. "Starting into the game, you're already diving into pool of action. Literally! This game goes in the direction for more action than the old horror feel that the old games had to them."

[Fredo5227]

How is it fucking racist??

[smashbrosfan25]

how is it racist to kill black Zombies IN AFRICA

[irio3333]

are you fucking kidding me? you call this a review? she only talked about the game being racist, the graphics, and the boss battles. in a fucking review you are supposed to describe the most important part of a game, the gameplay.

and you having a shitty pc is not the game's fault.

[tywhite3]

Where did Jen go?!

[themangOMEGA]

>finally give back a good reviewer

>make her review invalid

GOD DAMN IT, CGR

[Reloading26]

this game is the black sheep on the franchise...

[jasamdomo]

If a zombie outbreak did occur in Africa, then all those tribal people would be affected as well.

It's not the fact that the game is racist, it's just that you're retarded.

[Moskau43]

I'd love to hear Amanda explain how having African people in a game based in Africa is racist...

Was RE4 racist because the player was killing Spanish people in Spain?

And Honestly, criticising the game's performance when you are playing it on a laptop is just idiotic - Does anyone at CGR check this garbage before it's uploaded?

[Hanagigi]

Wtf LAPTOP? Come on, get a real pc if you have to review stuff.

Laptop... :c

[Ryanmiller70]

This game isn't racist. It's everyone that thinks it is that's racist. I'm sorry, but why is it that if you see a white person in a weird way, it's considered funny, but if you see a black person in a weird way, it's considered racist? Amanda, I think you're the racist one.

[Lineriderrocks123]

Lollerskates! They modeled sheva after a real person dipshit!

[MrTimscampi]

This is racist ?

Come on, everyone has been shooting white people or even asians in every FPS out there.

A game featuring "black people" (Or rather zombies of black people) as the ennemy isn't racist at all.

I see that as "everyone is equal. You can shoot whites skinned people in games. Why not black skinned people ?

Also, the game takes place in a remote city in Africa. Wouldn't it be a lot less realistic if they were all white ?

[MrTimscampi]

@MrTimscampi And for the "Exagerated features".

They are ZOMBIES for fucks sake.

Stop being so anal about people's skin color or facial features in a game.

This is a game about fucking ZOMBIES, not an actual representation of the reality.

It's that kind of behavior that's racist. Stop making differences. If they were white with exaggerated features, no one would have said anything. Just stop bitching about racism and accept people the way they are, no matter where they are from or how they look.

[hoopladoop1984]

The game is racist. She NOWHERE states it's racist because they're BLACK. She says it's racist because of the way the character models were made. LOOK at them. How many black people do you see with facial features like that. All of you little kids are ready to jump down the best reviewer on this channels throat because she brought up this. This was a BIG deal when the game came out, if any of you had a mind you'd look into it. Good review Amanda, next time watch what you say to little kids

[angryguy306]

@hoopladoop1984 I'm really not seeing the "grotesque" facial features.

[angryguy306]

@hoopladoop1984 Really? They never really seemed all that exaggerated to me. But hey, I'm an American bigot.

[hoopladoop1984]

@angryguy306 Go google racist cartoons. Then look at the way they modeled the characters. But like she said, if the game was developed by anyone else I actually think the characters would've looked better and more appropriate to what they are. Just think of any african character in a game you've played other than this, even look at Dead Island. Those are on target as far as facial structure and what not.

[Shadowfied]

Racist my fucking ass.

[WebVManReturns]

If you want to slaughter white people, play Resident Evil 4.

[ABoredGreaser]

Its not fucking racist, its called "realistic" maybe you haven't heard of being realistic, but having a bunch of white people as natives in Africa (where this game takes place) is not realistic, considering that Africa is most populated by blacks.

[mp44christos]

Get a new PC CGRoverboard.... you played the game in medium-low settings and yet you complain about the performance and graphics. Well thats what you get when you play on consoles for too long...

[Nintendude4life]

Wow, I can't believe after all these years a reviewer commented on the 'racism' in RE5, let alone agreed with the idiots that said it was...

[javierortiz82]

Resident evil 1, 2, 3 and 4 were indeed racist, there wasn't a single black guy in them besides the cop in RE2. Saying that RE5 is racist because you kill black zombie-like people is downward stupid.

You shouldn't use a laptop to play pc games and complain about the lack of smoothness in framerate, this game looks really good and has even support for that 3D thing by nvidia. It was your fault to try to play a decent game on a computer made for facebook and gmail.

[WebVManReturns]

@javierortiz82 How do you know she wasn't playing on an Alienware laptop that is better that most standard PCs?

[javierortiz82]

Responder a este vídeo... have you tried the PC version?, I used to play it on a core2duo 1,8 GHz with 1 GB Ram and a Geforce 9500 512MB and it ran like a dream even on a resource hog like windows vista in a pc that's honestly only a bit over what can be now considered low specs, the game isn't demanding at all and unless she's using an 2001 alienware, I'm pretty sure she is using an e-mail laptop.

[irio3333]

@WebVManReturns ill tell you why, because the graphics fucking suck on her laptop!!!! i played this on an alienware laptop and i can tell you, it looks far better than the xbox 360 version

[Anglerte]

@javierortiz82 Actually there was in RE 1. But he died at the beginning.

[Costerguy1234556]

Black people in Africa?! What is this madness.

/s

[WinterSoilder]

Rascist? The game takes place in Africa. Africa is inhabbited by Africans, who are black. If Africa has a zombie/Las Plagas outbreak, the zombies will be... black. Only seems logical to me.

[manny44]

Love this game!!!

[Dja05]

Killing white zombies = Fun

Killing black zombies = Racism

Politicaly correctness, the racism of self declared virtuous people all aournd the world !

[koosjuh75]

@Dja05 You know what's super political correct. I live in the Netherlands and follow an international study program. They learned me in English Business to call a black person "African American" so I asked what if hes black but not from Africa or American?..Dead silence Which is quite possible HERE IN NL!

OT: Agreed + No one gave a fuck about hispanics being killed in RE4. Oh oh at least those looked white lol. Those self declared virtuous people are the ones that look at skin colour the most.

[Pyromania37]

10,000 my bad.

[Pyromania37]

the executioner isnt a boss, he is an obstical HE CAN TAKE TWO SHOTS WITH THE HANDCANNON! thats around 10,00 health your not supposed to kill him.

[Pyromania37]

dat framerate.

[DaveTheSodaGuy0]

what I find funny is that "sheva" doesn't even look like a proper black person, let alone a person from africa...

[S1En1]

@DaveTheSodaGuy0 You mean she should wear a skirt made of hay and run around with her titties uncovered?

[DaveTheSodaGuy0]

yeah, you keep thinking I said that

[NicolasCageMage]

The graphics are so bad in the PC version. It has nothing to do with the fact that I'm playing it on my 5 year old laptop. Also, Crysis is an ugly mess of a game with a bad framerate. It crashes my laptop to desktop all the time. What were the developers thinking?

[irio3333]

@NicolasCageMage HAHAHAH, my thoughts exactly

[lildecable]

wtf Amanda how can u agree with this? So you put a few diseased black people in a game and suddenly its rasist. Oh sure but when GTA makes every Italian guy a mob member its considerd 'realistic' (not stabbing GTA, just making a point)? what is wrong with this world. Next thing people will blame Eminem for swearing in kids....oh wait....I have a video to attend too......

[PimblyCharles]

By the way, you can't complain about the graphics not being as good as the xbox360 version when you're playing this on a piece of shit laptop! The game is amazing at full detail with an actual gaming PC. It doesn't take a $2,000 PC to run it maxed either. You could build a PC for the same price as a PS3 ($400) which will max the game and look 300% better than the consoles. As with your Left 4 Dead 2 review, your laptop sucks for 3d gaming. Don't complain about low FPS when its your own fault

[PimblyCharles]

The PC version is the best version of the game. I was pleasantly surprised when I bought this new in stores a long while back. After the absolute mess that was the Resident Evil 4 port to PC, which was unplayable without mods, I didn't know what to expect when this came out. The game is stunningly beautiful to look at and runs real good. The only real dealbreaker with the PC version is the complete lack of all the DLC that came out on consoles. I don't think we'll ever see it on PC which sucks!

[carlosmashiado2]

sooo the game is in Africa so you that's why you are killing black zombies right... so all those games zombie games in the USA are racist for killing white zombies? we need latin zombies too? maybe brown mexican zombies eating burritos and coronas with brains lol i'm latin but my family is from europe so multinationality zombies are racist too? IF YOU FEEL LIKE THIS IS RACIST MAYBE JUST MAYBE YOU ARE THE RACIST YOU DON'T SEE INTO THE ZOMBIE'S HEART YOU ONLY LOOK AT THE ZOMBIE'S SKIN LOL

[TheNerdKnownAsDavid]

If it takes place in Africa, wouldn't it be more racist to have only white people in it?

[RaycxellTorres]

even if i hate this game...IT´S NOT RACIST!!!

1.It takes place in Africa

and

2.Even if they´re black...THEY´RE ZOMBIES!!!.You people gonna tell me if a black zombie comes to eat you,you´re gonna say "Oh i can´t shoot him because he´s black" and let yourself get devoured...BULLSHIT!you´re gonna get a gun and blow his head off...IDIOTS >_<

[benjafofo]

Oh, and your computer can't stand the game, Amanda. Get a decent PC, then make a review =/

[benjafofo]

Oh yeah, shoot some black people and the game is racist. Saying that is saying that black people can't be shot at in video games. It is ok to shoot white people, but black people, oh poor guys, don't shoot them! Now, THAT is racist. Saying RE5 is a racist game is the same as saying LocoRoco is a racist game just because the antagonists are black. Amanda, you really messed up there. =/

[TheWingrider92]

I hope they make new resident evil more epicly scary like RE4

[sundiata17]

anyone miss jen right about now? i do :(

[ushbag]

The way I see it, the first 3 resident evils, you're killing Americans (mostly white people), so its okay to kill other races once in a while. I'm Asian and I just thought it was finally time they gave the white man a break and killed other "zombies" of other races. People who say Resident Evil are the ignorant ones.

[BarbieOnWeed]

Its a fucking game, Amanda. Get over it!

[castrici]

your pc is slow

[Standard420247]

Amanda have you ever been to Africa? I'm guessing not. If this game had a black lead character shooting hoards of white people it wouldn't be called racist, and its for those reasons people like yourself and every other damn person that spouts "RACIST" over a damn video game needs to die. I'm racist, racist against stupidity which sadly includes your stupid ass. Bring back Jen Mark, because this bitch is fucking whack.

[progrocker69]

@Standard420247 I'm glad I don't have whatever your problem is.

[Standard420247]

@progrocker69 Just stay stupid, would benefit the world greatly if people like you didn't reproduce. My problem is stupid people that call racism for no fucking reason. I'm sad you aren't like me, but glad stupidity will slowly be weeded out because you spend too much time making dumb ass comments on youtube to ever have sex and reproduce.

[progrocker69]

@Standard420247 Tell that to my wife you worthless little asshat.

And just to clarify, you're the one who started with the "dumb ass comments." "Dumb ass comments," I might add, which include the misogynistic sentiment that "this BITCH is fucking whack."

I can only imagine how many ladies are beating down your door with a warm, delightful attitude like that, Sparky.

You must be bi-sexual, like in the only way YOU can have sex is to buy it. =D

[RavenousSpectre]

racist? so if you were shooting a bunch of white, latin, or asian people it would be ok then correct? bs dude. it's not racist.

[Standard420247]

I think someone needs to make a just blatantly over the top racist in every way possible game, that totally admits it's racist towards everyone from the get go, so people have something better to talk about and nit pick.

[javierortiz82]

The review is honestly terrible.

The racial controversy is quite a boring and trivial subject and could have been avoided.

Complaining about the lack of weaponry at the begining of the game? every resident evil has been like that. It's like you've never played them.

You play it quite bad. I saw a lot of missed oportunities for uppercuts, roundhouses and whatever... those are crucial to make ammo last longer.

Multiplayer? game modes?, less racial comments and more in depth reviewing, please.

[3ast]

I enjoyed this game much more once I replaced Chris with Wesker and Sheva with Jill. Awww yeah!

[tangjord]

ahh fuck re 5 screwed us over look at re 1 now re 5 fuck capcom what have they done now re operation racoon city you can shoot while running that's taking the re survival horror charm out of it

[djklink20009]

whats wrong with chirs's figure id have popeye arms too after eating all those herbs and running around a mansion

[koosjuh75]

The people who think this game is racist are white americans, the rest can look beyond skin color and can see the situation for what it is.

90% of the people who think this game is racist are too focused on skin color themselves, even though you mean well you yourself are the true racists.

[ilovescotch666]

People should automatically love this just cause its amanda... Im sick of these ipad reviews

[hotpocketcrust]

This wasnt a bad review... People are stupid.

[sinbysin666]

Executioner = Pyramid Head rip off?

Lulz, I was watching the latest live action RE movie, and I was like "Hey, isn't that Pyramid Head?"

[PrshutKiller]

1. If you want to be a serious PC games reviewer, better consider buying yourself a new or upgrading an existing computer, because this game was played on minimal configuration, which is embarrassing for any game reviewer!

2. Chris sidekick is SHEVA not SHIVA!

3. Racism? The game was made in freaking JAPAN!

4. Where is Jen?

[AveFlo11]

"... yet on my laptop." Dissapointing

[superjuca55]

The 'spanish' people in RE4 were living in a poor, rotting, ramschackle, medieval village that you wont find anywhere in real Spain nowadays. No wonder spanic people weren't offended.

RE5, on the other hand, had various racist cliches against black people in many scenes. The black zombie 'gangbangers' draging the white woman, for example.

[SnapekilledDumbledor]

And she didnt state they were just racist cause theyre black... Look at how much they exaggerated the facial features with teeth, mouths, eyes... maybe its just cause im old but read some news there was tons of em on the racism of this

[Barbaryotaku]

Killing Spanish people in RE4 is ok but this is racist?

[SnapekilledDumbledor]

Are you all idiots...to record good game footage people generally use capture cards, im sure she didnt feel like bring her tower in so thats why it was on a laptop... Common fucking sense.

[Shanedapain3991]

jen is back on overbord 8D

[Jesses001]

@Shanedapain3991 If you were talking about the one that did this review, I think that was Amanda.

[NINJACH0P957]

The graphic settings look like they're on minimum.

[dimitrisasp]

Every CGR member is cool but I would like a little more Jen on this channel!

[TheMRJewfro]

@dimitrisasp She left CGR or something

[dimitrisasp]

@TheMRJewfro Oh.. Didn't know. Thanks for the info!

[bleachta334]

So average sized black guys + killing = Africa not racism racism would be if they were all toned and muscled out cause that is saying all black people are strong you people need to get your heads out your arse and stop with the over political correctness it's too much

[midakskyblast]

First of all. It's not racist. Second. Don't fucking play on a fucking laptop, unless it's a fucking gaming laptop.

[midakskyblast]

First of all. It's not racist. Second. Don't fucking play on a fucking laptop, unless it's a fucking gaming laptop.

[UNSCArcher]

@reynoldricardo ubisoft has nothing to do with resident evil 5

[reynoldricardo]

@UNSCArcher lol my bad, i'm now playing RE 4, so it's kinda mixed out when I commented here lol

[UNSCArcher]

@reynoldricardo they have nothing to do with RE

[reynoldricardo]

@UNSCArcher yes they has. they're the one who published it, even though they might've nothing to do with the gameplay. I got it mixed up before cause when you start RE 4, the ubisoft logo is the first thing to be seen, and I restarted RE 4 a lot cause some errors.

[UNSCArcher]

@reynoldricardo on the shitty pc port then, but they pretty much have nothing to do with the series, its all capcom

[telecomboring]

@reynoldricardo Her skin is pretty much the same colour as the other (white) protagonist.

[2007pepsilover]

ugh why would you ever use a laptop smh...

[TompanX]

fgedg

[TompanX]

so your saying 1,2,3,4 is racist aginst white?!

[BattlefieldJoe97]

zombie week resident evil 5 u know 5 does not have zombies right

[Tortelius]

The problem of racism in re5 again, shhh........ its in Africa the people have that skin color and its not the only game that kills black people in Uncharted most of enemy skins are black guys because they are mercenaries, pirates, etc. Why arent uncharted being called a racist game to?? I don't know, people see what they want!!!

[XendmustB3]

PC gaming on laptop? WHY!!!!

[RemyLanslots]

This game is fun, but not really up to par with other Resident Evil-games. The only plus, in my opinion, is the hotness of Sheva Alomar :)

[MrOlliguitar]

the controls in this game suck shit, pc or console. it destroyed everything for me

[JURPO90]

of cource its laggy and ugly with laptop, my laptop can play this too , but its not pretty. my good (but unfortunatelly dead) gaming computer with i7 and 6gb of ram ran this game alot better than lappy with integrated shit. get a decent computer, maxed this looks better than the 360 version.

[ikariousmash]

i platinum'd this game and irs really fun :B and yeah, the first fight suck ass cuz u have no powerful guns :P u should review re5 mercenaries see ya

[Magmashishio]

The game does look better on PC.. if your PC can actually handle the game on max settings that is. When I heard laptop I just chuckled.

[RoboJules]

Where's Jen when you need her?

[RPGGUY2500]

yeah I dont think this game is racist, its africa, it would be reacist to be fighting all white zombies. The tribal stuff I kinda understand but it was more supposed to be metaphorical and there ARE still tribes like that around the world so....I can't say that I personally view it as racist.

[Metalgearfreak0906]

In resident evil 4 you killed Hispanics....how come that wasn't called racist i mean i'm Hispanic myself and am i offended? NO!

[SoloHero]

@Metalgearfreak0906 There were some people who completely over-reacted. I'm black and I didn't think the game was racist at all, however, as Amanda stated, the direction for the character models were bit annoying.

[ratys19]

What fucker dislicked the vid as soon as it got uploaded? You sub to hate the vids?

[rocknrollmustlive]

@ratys19 I dislike(d) this video about a minute, two minutes in largely because I find Amanda very annoying, and this review was difficult to listen to. It sounds very forced and unnatural in my opinion, and that ruins the review for me.
