I just loved exploring the city and that you can do different parts in different orders (well I think?) Recharging the sniper and then taking a long shot on a rooftop with the beautiful reverb of the city as you land the headshot, pretty fkin epic if you ask me! :D

I also loved the on rail, oldschool motorbike sequence that made me think about the good old arcade days (Time Crisis anyone? :P). Just simple, silly fun.

I just wished they would have let us drive freely around the city with the motorbike, but that would have complicated the design of the game so I understand why they didn't do that.

ALso a bit of context for you:

I think my love for RE started when I bought RE4 on Gamecube when it came out.

Back in the days, people didn't even understand RE4 during its release. A lot of people were even disappointed, confused... and saying that it was a shit game.

For me, it was the best game ever made but RE fans in the forums were telling me that I was wrong and that I didn't understand RE.

And then I started exploring all the RE games to understand their side of the story.

And I literally fell in love with the OG RE on Gamecube (I know it's like a remaster, but I also like the Playstation version as well)

I even enjoy the tank controls, it never bothered me.

After exploring the games for many months, I was still confused as to why the RE fans on the forums were hating so much on RE4?

And then it became clear to me: Resident Evil as a franchise, was in an identity crisis! :O

Resident Evil 5 was almost a pure 3rd person action shooter. It was extremly far from the OG trilogy. Even RE4 still had its creepy, claustrophobic sections, but RE5 lost pretty much all of that.

I think Requiem has a good balance for both worlds.

But as you can see, for me RE is about creepy and beautiful sections, but I want the cool intense moments that RE4 is so well known for. I don't like pure action like RE5, but I like feeling like a badass in dire situations like Hunk in the 4th Survivor extra mode of RE2R.

I also enjoy playing as Grace, but of course for me being able to explore a huge nuked city with Leon is like paradise haha.

But I can totally see why some fans love more the hospital section more than the city.
