REmake had its moments, but those were almost solely because of Lisa (who was like the Nemesis in that you couldn't kill her). Most of the rest of the game was just standard "shoot what is in the way."Mangles69 said:
Resident Evil 6 Review

Yeah, if you're into jump scaresMangles69 said:OT: The only true scary game, and lets be perfectly honest here, was Doom 3 on release. You know you wanna agree
Okay since no one else is going to say it, I will: Leon looks like Dante from DMC4.
I'm fine with using the makers using similar character models but the resemblance is so jarring and weird to me.

The only thing that surprised me is that a part of it felt like it was trying to be a Survival Horror game. I did find Resident Evil Revelations to be a little creepy at times and Resident Evil 4 had a good atmosphere, however they both felt like they were action games.
Resident Evil 5 threw that out and had a lot of the story going on in well lit environments with no horror at all. The co-op was great fun as long as you had an actual person to play with, but alone that game was a nightmare to play.
I am disappointed that this game didn't turn out too good, but I guess I will pick it up when it goes on sale (preferably Steam sale, though I don't know if it will come to Steam).

All they had to do was write a decent story, (which is apparently impossible for this series) and replicate the gameplay from RE 4 with some slight improvements. I knew they'd mess it up but why would they let it get this bad?! I know pretty much all of the RE games but I'm not buying this, at least not at full price, hopefully this will be hailed as crap and they'll refresh the series instead of letting it stagnate further.
I still remember telling my friends that RE5 sucked but none of them believed me because of the reviews, and also because it was Resident Evil so how could it be bad? lolTerramax said:
I was never personally into the survival horror stuff, but I guess I can understand peoples' disappointment though at this point may as well expect this from Resident Evil. I actually had a lotta fun in RE5's co-op with a friend, and 6 might do the same, but it really is just a dumb action movie in game form huh?
Leon's campaign was very disappointing if you've played Resident Evil 4.
I managed to get this game on Saturday (thank you Shopto.net) and I completed his campaign in ten hours. The final big bads you had to kill were ridiculously repetitive and at one point I actually said, "How many times do I have to fight the same fucking thing?"
It's good value however if you consider you have three campaigns - all ten hours long and once you've completed all of them you get Ada Wong's campaign too which is another ten hours.

Resident Evil 6 isn't even a mediocre action game. That title already belongs to Resident Evil 5. RE6 is much worse than being a bad survival horror game or bad Resident Evil game, it is simply shit as a videogame in basically every aspect, regardless of its genre or franchise.Caramel Frappe said:
I think people who chalk up the bad reviews (if you can call 3/5 bad) to people expecting horror instead of action need to play the demo. First, I doubt anyone is expecting a straight horror game after RE4 and RE5. But this managed to have none from the two demo scenarios I played (Chris and Jakes) whereas RE4 at least tried to have some horror (can't speak to RE5 since I haven't played it).Kopikatsu said:
But even if people were to simply review it as a straight action game, nothing I played in that demo was enjoyable. The controls frequently didn't work properly, the camera angle kept you from seeing much of anything, cover was useless because standing in the open shooting people worked just fine and what we got in the form of boss battles were some of the most boring piles of shit I've ever seen. If the demo was any indication (and let's be honest here, it'd be surprising if it wasn't) then this is a terrible game on it's own merits. It doesn't need nostalgia to drag it down any farther.
Wow, congratulations capcom, I've never seen a game with lower user ratings on metacritic then this: http://www.metacritic.com/game/xbox-360/resident-evil-6 There's definitely anger directed towards the series direction has since 4/5.
It's a pretty clear pattern right now: Publisher assumes and is frightened to make anything other than bad versions of COD, gamers despair and indie / old skool devs have another avenue to resurrect great games based on popular but rarely released classics concepts / mechanics (especially with kickstarter and the purchasable alpha).
Thank you publishers!

Maybe I should stop coming to this site for review and just for the videos. I thoroughly enjoy this game and thought transformers was average, yet transformers got a higher score than this game.
I'm not sure how I feel about this review. I already bought the game, so it isn't going to influence me in that regard, and I've yet to finish 100% of the content despite being in Australia and thus getting it early, but... well, the whole thing read like a giant bitchfest that it wasn't a horror game. Sure, being upset at a reinvention of a horror series to an action series isn't something to be happy about, but I expect more from a reviewer. I feel that the game should be reviewed for what it is, an action game, and not for what one wants it to be.
On that note, make no mistake, it is an action game, and Capcom's claims to the contrary are so ludicrous they are almost false advertising. That said, anyone with a brain, combined with five to ten minutes or research, would have been prepared for this and adjusted their expectations according. What I've played of isn't perfect, there are annoying things such as forcing you to walk while the game tries to be scary, and hijacking your camera unnecessarily to bring shit to your attention, but for the most part I've been having a Hell of a lot of fun with it as me and my best mate play through the campaign.
Of course, if you had to play solo, maybe that would piss you off. But I have no idea. You didn't mention the (shit) AI at all. I think someone who hates to play online might like to know the AI is so bad it'll frustrate them and reduce their enjoyment of the game, for instance.
Anyway, sorry for the somewhat disjointed post. In summary, I think the reviewer should have discarded their expectations and reviewed the game from a neutral position, and that they could have been a little more thorough. My own opinion of the game is positive, though with some complaints.
