Do I need to introduce this game or its demo? No, so now my goal is to make you, the reader, laugh or nod your head accordingly. So, let's do it.
Shit!
There is a lot of shit going on in this game! More enemies, pyramid heads, and another person's inventory and health to manage. Not that she's a burden, actually I feel like her AI's a better and quicker shot than me, but still suddenly she's too close to the pyramid head and he'll chop her down, suddenly she's knifing people and you think, "Oh, how cool that she's conserving ammo" when really she's out of bullets! Suddenly as you're about to uppercut some dude, she shoots him and he dies and you curse her for wasting her ammo! Do you even need to conserve ammo as much in this game? And where am I supposed to hide? Are there actually good cover positions? Shit, this shit stresses me out. I'm gonna throw a grenade to "help" Sheva...
MATTER OF FACT...
Sheva
Bitch, fuck your accent, and fucking help me! There's a vaj comin' out of that dude's head and it wants me! Why are you making me jiggle my left stick so hard? I don't know if that does damage to the controller long term! Oh, yeah, and stop calling me partner! It sends mixed messages, "tiger!"
Survival Horror?
Why the fuck can't you run away? I mean that's not really the point, but every once in a while when Sheva is too dumb to back away from encroaching zombies, I really just want the safety of running the fuck away or jumping fences or some shit. Survival horror = run away please!
Environments
Bigger, seem much bigger and somewhat intimidating to navigate. They're prettier, fun to explore. Thank god for red barrels.
Sound
Chris, why you make so much noise when you run? What is all your equipment here even for? And goddamn, why you gotta pant after every time you change weapons? It's like, "Sigh...I guess I'll pull out my rifle..." Xx_Chris_xX! Fucking do it! Zombies comin' up the hell right now!
Chris v. Leon
Leon's a little smarmy, you know? Chris seems a little nicer. And I wonder about Sheva and his relationship to her.
Africa
I remember thinking there was some imperialist/colonial undertones in having a game like this in Africa. I mean, if you want, you could see RE4 as a rural/urban class struggle, maybe even some feudal shit with that little spanish Napoleon dude. I don't know, so I thought I would feel uncomfortable. I mostly just feel scared. Sure, the game takes advantage of the unstable nature of African nations, but...I don't think it's to a negative effect. I don't know. Shit. I aint no anthropologist.
I think this'll be a fun game once I stop feeling so stressed out about basic combat. Shit!

First!
First in February!
First!
Yeah, I had some difficulty adjusting to the controls. I last played RE4 on the Gamecube and that was 2 years ago so I think that honestly had to do with the time it took to get back into the groove of the controls.
I also totally agree with you, the thing that I miss in my RE games (hell, it made me freaked to play earlier ones) was the absolute lack of ammo and need to run constantly. The fact they force you to do so much fighting since RE4 (don't get me wrong, it is definitely fun) and less running the hell away from most things lessens the fear. That being said I am glad they kept the "tank" controls since it adds tension to the experience.
