Yeah, the co-op thing is a big part of what turned me off to RE 5. I love the 'survival horror' genre, but some have left a bad taste in my mouth. 'The Thing' comes to mind. I LOVE the films, both the 50s original and the Carpenter remake, but that whole "watch out for your buddy'd well being" aspect of the PS2 game really put me off.
Also, RE 5 being set in sunny Africa seems a bit odd a choice. In these sorts of games, I believe that the player ought to be alone, it really helps to pull you into the game, that sense of lonliness and dread that you just cant get out of a multi-player experience.
