It's a shitty game because it's a shitty RE game. They threw out just about everything that defined a Resident Evil game in the past except the main story (that they did no favors to by the end of the game), and it just became another action shooter game in another setting, not all that different from the dozens of other shooting games you could buy at the time. RE4 was considered amazing because it held onto those "shit your pants" moments of fear while keeping a survivor horror feel in the gameplay itself. RE5 abandoned everything good about RE4 to try to appeal to a broader audience, and by broader audience, I mean people really into Call of Duty.
disliking something does not make one closed minded. You could argue that not trying something does, but to say that anybody who dislikes the game is closed minded for not liking it is... well closed minded to opinions that differ from your own.
Holy shit he said he tried the game. He played it. He tried to like it. He didn't because it wasn't even really RE anymore. It isn't some complex opinion formation derived from knowing nothing about the game, nor ever playing it. It isn't close minded to dislike a game because it is entirely different from the rest of the series it shares its name with (see: my Dead Space 3 example). It also isn't close minded to dislike the game because it's shit, which RE5 pretty much is.
