Somewhere along the line Capcom decided to trade the bad camera angles for a third person camera, the creepy music for Explosions!!1! and kept the jump scares (and always to some degree, the bad controls). It's still the same sort of game in the same sort of universe with the same sort of atmosphere and the same sort of problems. It just gets harder to love it with each iteration
Second, co-op / AI buddy. This has been one of the big issues I have had since Zero and that lame character-swapping system but has become much worse. It defeats the purpose of Survival Horror in most cases.
Sorry, but some of us really enjoy Coop. that is one of the biggest selling points for me when I buy a game. If you don’t like it, then don’t buy it, it’s that simple.
I have to agree - co-op was the selling point of Resident Evil 5 for me (the way it integrated so smoothly into the main campaign) and is the primary reason I still boot it up for an occasional playthrough with a friend to this day.

First, the characters have changed in such a dramatic fashion that it's hard to believe they are ever in danger. They're jacked up on the juice and they would probably find a way to destroy an army of zombies with a butter knife whereas in the first couple of titles they were often shitting their pants. One could say they have become 'desensitized' to the horrors they have seen but I think they took a few too many pointers from Rambo.
