This is kind of how I feel about most of the reviews coming out. Especially during the whole RE:ORC fiasco. People are expecting all of the subsequent games to be re-hashes of the first two games, even though that very clearly isn't what they are. It was especially ridiculous with ORC, when Slant Six said that the USS were trained special forces that were able to fight on a level far above the canon RE protagonists and that game was you verses government Spec Ops with the zombies intentionally being little more than environmental hazards when the game had just started being developed. Come release day, it's getting 2's and 3's because people were expecting a horror game for some reason despite the developers very clearly stating that wasn't the kind of game they were making.The Tall Nerd said:hmm he was hoping for horror, he shouldn't have reviewed that game.
ORC got 2s and 3s not because it wasn't a horror game, but because it was a terrible game. If RE6 had succeeded in just being a good game focusing on action, it wouldn't be a problem because it at least has focus. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case. Not being a horror game is the least of this game's problems.Kopikatsu said:This is kind of how I feel about most of the reviews coming out. Especially during the whole RE:ORC fiasco.
