That's a lot of punched boulders.
Seriously for a game that Era has told me is a terrible RE ppl sure seem to love it.

It's not a terrible RE. It's worse than 4, sure, but it's leagues better than 6 or Revelations.
It really doesn't get a hold of "classic" RE or RE7.
Had fun with it back then, Paid like £5 for it, Decent co-op fun but no way near would I play something like that in todays gaming landscape.

Yea , there are a lot missing in the platinum list
Resident Evil 4 for example misses the following : PS3/X360 version , PC original version , PC Ultimate Edition
For RE2 case , I hoped that Capcom would reveal the true number of the original's sales due to the occasion of the Remake , but they still said that it sold 4.9M which is only the PS1 version according to platinum page
When we had steamspy 6 had crossed 1 million. RE5 was close to doing that and probably has by now. That's the most we have now.
Yeah but also because RE4 I think. Can't see it having sold this well without that initial push. Still would have done well, but nowhere near 11 mil.
RE5 wouldn't consistently be selling more than RE4 because of RE4 clout. If you want to point at anything that helped the numbers so much. It's the coop.
I love that Capcom shows numbers. Would love for more publishers to do the same. Specially Sega.
Played it through twice with two different friends on PS3 and then i split screened it with another friend in one go on the 360. Good times. Was my first online co-op game.

Yea , it will be a while until a game reaches 11M
RE6 could be too near to 10M if predicted Switch port sold nicely , while RE4 has a chance for the same conditions and If they counted the PS3/X360 versions and the Ultimate PC version numbers ( Which is near 1M for the latter )
Fantastic game and my favorite Mercenaries Mode. We need a proper Resident Evil: The Mercenaries.
Well, some of the spinoffs certainly have failed to do a million.
This is kinda unrelated but I guess I'll ask since it deals with Chris Redfield and continuity from RE5 and 6. Are those CGI movies any good? I been playing my way up to 7 this last month and I'm wondering if I should bother watching them?
I absolutely loved this game when it came out and have liked it far less every time I've revisited it. Lost In Nightmares and Mercenaries mode are both still incredible though. Also this is awesome:
Also also, the fact that ORC outsold anything on that list bums me the hell out. ORC wasn't terrible but it was aggressively mediocre despite having a pretty strong premise.

RE5's name is frequently thrown around as one of the best coop experiences, and deservedly so tbh.
As a SP experience and a follow up to RE4, it is an utter disappointment
It's not worthy of being the *first* RE game to hit the milestone, but it's worthy of hitting the milestone. I played through RE5 multiple times with different friends and had a great time every time. It looked amazing and ran incredibly well on the hardware it launched on. Played very well too, and even offered a great split screen experience. I only played through it once in single player (with razer hydra motion controls) but it held up.
It's not the best game in the franchise, but I will always put it 5 on a tier farrrrrr above 6.

I played it at launch and thought it was good, but didn't really appreciate it cos it came out not too long after Gears 2 and felt too slow.
Subsequent playthroughs helped me see that it's the best action campaign of all time. Top 10 gaming experiences in co-op mode

Hopefully Resident Evil 2 Remake will surpass it. Also, hopefully Resident Evil 7 will get some ports on the next gen and that will help it climb above Resident Evil 5. Resident Evil 5 is emblematic of an era of gaming that almost drove me away from the hobby.
I feel the same (at least in regards to the mainline stuff). I actually enjoyed Resident Evil 6 and argue, to this day, that it is one of the first true "B movie" style games. It is obviously awful and dumb, but it is just a hilarious time. My friend and I laughed our way through the entire game. Resident Evil 5 is also dumb, but not as gleefully so. It feels like it is taking itself pretty seriously.

So good. RE5 co-op on 360 was fantastic and I played through the co-op game multiple times on PS4 as well. It's an excellent action game.
They can make the formula work, im sure. RE6 gunplay + everything else from RE2. Apply it on RE3 Remake. Succeed.
