[quote name='iNFiNiTE HORiZON']blehh, I already went with Lost in Nightmares, due to me being more of a solo player in this game (none of my friends have it anymore), so I care more for the story elements than anything else, and after watching some videos on each, Desperate Escape looks a little too fast paced for me, and if I don't find someone to play with I can't imagine getting thru that with the computer-AI. So I feel like LIN was the better choice for my play style anyways, thanks tho. Just realized I still haven't beaten the entire game though, so I haven't played mercs yet either, so I've got plenty of content to keep me busy for this game.[/QUOTE]
If you're a solo player, you probably had very little fun with RE5 at all. Ouch.
Yeah, if you don't like balls to the wall RE5 shooting, you probably won't like DE.
I find Mercs TREMENDOUS fun and the best part of the game, so much so that the story was just a slog to unlock Mercs. Co-op Mercs doubly so, and it isn't hard to pick someone up online to play with.
The game might be generous enough to give you Mercs Reunion access if you haven't beat the full game just for buying LIN. Though, Mercs is really the balls to the wall shooting/meleeing aspect so it might not be that much more up your alley.
