The Metacritic bombing is happening so often now that it's impossible to take it even remotely seriously, I expect the same treatment with Dead Space 3 and Hitman Absolution regardless of their quality or lack thereof.natster43 said:
Resident Evil Is a Child, Capcom and Fans Are Its Parents

Even fucking Big Rigs Over The Road Racing has a higher user score than any of the games that have been metabombed; there's something just plain wrong about that.Baron_Rouge said:
Indeed. There are not really many well known games that are so bad that they deserve a score of less than 5/10, and none are so bad that they have absolutely nothing redeemable like a 0.5/10 would suggest.Kopikatsu said:
People love to go to extremes though.
Actually, there was nothing hasty about that at all. It has been stated, in many interviews with Jake Solomon (the lead designer) of XCOM: EU, that the game has been in production for 4 years at least, largely due to Jake's desire to create it. So it was being made for 3.5 years (or starting from 2008/2009 which is way before the XCOM FPS announcement) and only this year was its existance finally revealed.
Please do a bit better research before writing something like this.
I find comparing a game to a child a bit silly.
You raise a child as best you can so that it will be able to live on it's own when it grows up.
You make a game so that people will buy it. If we're calling the game a child then this would be having a child and raising it simply to please your wife, and then telling the wife you know what's best for the kid and not letting her have much of a say in it. Which pretty much defeats the purpose of the child in the first place. Like buying a car for your daughter's birthday and not letting her drive it while you drive around in it instead.

Jesus Christ this is demeaning. I'm not even a Resi fan but this just seems insulting to the fans. "Me and you are the parents, RE is the baby, and we're right and you're wrong."
It's pretty clear with a quick glance at the Metacritic User scores that some people are jumping on the Hate Bandwagon.
The critic reviews however are mixed. Which is what I would expect for a Resident Evil title.

Yup, you've hit the nail on the head. I personally prefer the direction 4 took, because it didn't look and control like arse or take itself too seriously, while maintaining an excellent atmosphere and being a chilling but thoroughly enjoyable experience. 5 less so, 6 even less so.LysanderNemoinis said:
Though I'm fine with some action, it may have been better to launch spin offs or NEW IP's FOR IT CAPCOM!
I read the user reviews on metacritic and a good 25% of them were about those islands being disputed between china and japan and a bunch of racist gibberish.Brandon Logan said:
The rest was fan ire.
I stepped back from my RE4 fandom and replayed the demos, they're a passable and enjoyable action thing, but a poor horror thing. QTE's are fucking annoying though.
No. If you read them (and I got tired after about 20 to 25 of them, they have valid reasons for disliking the game. I too found the game to be utterly weak. I rather go back and play 4 and 5 again. The camera is something to die from. The biggest problem I have is not that its an action game... its just not a good action game either.natster43 said:
Well if resident evil series is a child to capcom, then they are the mother who keeps getting pregnant so she can get more money from welfare. She doesn't give two craps about the kids and only sees them as a way to get more money for trying to support a child she cares nothing about.
captcha: full house
Yup if she keeps having all these kids it sure will be.

With the what now?
That's such a weird analogy to use. Because in this case one of the parents (capcom) presumably wants to make a child that the other parent (the fans) wants to buy. Any way you choose to deconstruct that analogy yields a broken home and a screwed up kid.
His analogy works better for things like Elder Scrolls where Bathesda and the modders both shape what it ultimately becomes.
Then tell me how do you expect capcom to compete in this market anymore?? Games with pre-rendered backgrounds and tank controls "which i loved about most of the games" do not sell on the current market. This has been coming since the massive change in re4 which was more action oriented with qte's so either we learn to accept this or the franchise will die off completely. Hell maybe that would be the best thing after re6's story wrap up...BBboy20 said:
'the franchise's new, action-packed direction.'
Action, schmaction. I know some people have been complaining since RE4, but RE4 and RE5 were decent games (if hardly horror). RE6 is a sloppy turd that can't figure out what it is, decides to throw in every single mechanism from every previous game and all the spin-offs, and does none of them well.

Actually Resident Evil is a child, Capcom are the parents and the Fans are social services. It just so happens that the parents won't listen to professional advice, resulting in the child's suffering under the weight of it's parents' neglect.Grey Carter said:
I wouldn´t mind these new RE games if they weren´t so bland and boring. I highly enjoyed the old games and i highly enjoyed RE4, but RE 5 was just an annoying and unpleasant game to play. RE 6 seems to be both worse and better than the 5th game, Leon scenario seems decent, but i´d rather not play the rest, hated those parts in the demo. Unfortunately you have to suffer through 20 hours of Re5 gameplay to get to Adas scenario, which seems to be the most promising part of the game.
I´m defineately staying away from this one, i´m only interested in 2/4 of the game, and not interested enough to give Capcom any money. Personally i´d prefer if they stopped making AAA RE games and instead made some smaller games with a more defined and focused target audience. I hate these AAA games that are made to please every gamer in the world, just doesn´t give as good results as something made for a niche audicence.
