Another horrible review from Yahtzee from a series he's clearly uber biased about. I don't know why I expected anything better from him...
Founding a city on the moon? Guess that's one more thing he has in common with the Nazi's XD (iron sky joke)
But yeah I have no idea what so many people see in this game. It's not survival horror in the slightest, there are too many pointless bits thrown in just because without any polish, and the co-op is just as pointless as ever. In a month (or even year) with so many better offerings, why bother playing RE6 at all?

Of course you think he's biased little one, he has an opinion that is different to yours. Well, in a sense he is in that he has an opinion on the games...didn't stop him enjoying Resident Evil 4 though.striderkiwi said:
But you know, you'd be just as biased if you liked the thing...just in a different way.
Maybe the whole game series should have ended with that nuke too?Daniel Ford said:
I think that could be a Big Picture episode, but I'm not sure what Bob could say the 1st two guys haven't already.daxterx2005 said:
And I'm not holding my breath for an XCOM review; it's a strategy game and a remake, two game types Yahtzee isn't a fan of (see HALO WARS and Syndicate).

I pretty much gave up on RE5 after about three stages because the controls just felt so unplayable (seriously, Chris is an elite military soldier, but he doesn't know how to strafe!? Or even move while aiming!?), especially after Capcom pretty much nailed the controls for RE4: Wii Edition.
The demo for RE6 felt like 1/3 of a good game. I really liked Leon's segment (well, mostly), I guess because it was closest to RE4's style. Chris's segment I wasn't overly keen on, as it basically felt like it was trying to be a Call of Duty/Gears of War type game, but with the worst, loosest control scheme imaginable. Jake's segment I just found unplayable and (once again) gave up on it after about five minutes.
Sorry Capcom, you can add all the flashy, mister fancy-pants production values you want, but if your gameplay sucks, then the game sucks.
From what I've played, mostly Mercenaries mode and a bit of Leon's co-op campaign, Resident Evil 6 is not that bad. It certainly lacks a certain polish to it that I'm used to seeing in these bigger budgeted games, especially disheartening when realizing it is coming from Capcom.
Also, I'm sticking to the fact that playing co-op with complete strangers can only be a recipe for disaster... that, and eventually an aneurysm.

Yahtzee believes any full priced game must stand up on single-player alone. To a point I agree. I'm kinda wondering if it would be that much harder to just make 2 versions of a puzzle with and without co-op requirements and to make alternate cutscenes that benefit from the other person being there but doesn't alter the story.baseracer said:
One question, do you like the game?striderkiwi said:
Then the review shouldn't bother you.
secondly, Yahtzee LIKED Call of Duty 4.
Also, it's one franchise out of many, including Megaman, Monster Hunter, Devil May Cry, Resident Evil, Ghosts & Goblins, Street Fighter (hah!), Darkstalkers, Bionic Commando, Sengoku Basara, Viewtiful Joe, Final Fight, Dead Rising, and Lost Planet.MegaManOfNumbers said:
OT: Yeah, I've never cared about RE as a franchise. Nothing about it ever really excited me, and they really just seem to re-tread the same ground over and over in each game. They're even just constantly re-using the old characters. There's a certain point where you've gotta break away from the norm here, guys.
