Some stuff there is reasonable.
however some of the review seems to be personal since he mentions a lot of RE is dead and it not being like the earlier titles. Which can be commented but shouldnt effect a official review.
nope
Not that I want to discredit the reviewer, but whining about how Capcom betrayed "not only the historical tradition of the series, but also the legions of fans" with RE5 isn't a good way to start a review. It makes it obvious that no matter how good or bad the reviewed game is, since RE6 is an evolution in the direction RE4 started and RE5 continued, the reviewer is biased and will not like the game.

European press, outside of the UK, often comes off as unprofessional and forum-ish.
Was this an exclusive review like the other one?
I wish there was a full review I could read. Don't really care about scores.
What i get from that review is
"RE is not RE anymore 5/10". Seriously the explaination about why it got 5 is worst than some moaning in here.
Is American press any different?

I'm going to say yeah. I mean it is hard to imagine a western RE6 review ending with stuff like "Resident Evil IS DEAD, LET IT LIVE ON IN OUR MEMORIES!"
EDIT: Destructiod might be an exception.

RE diehards attacking the messenger... you guys are too much, it's frigging sad... because you can't handle The Truth shattering your lonely fantasy world where this game isn't a complete pile of embarrassingly insipid trash! What a bunch of losers, go outside and get a damn life.
FIRST!

Every review i've seen from most sources, regardless of nation, comes of as a tale of someone who doesn't seem concerned about the price of the game itself. I know game prices are subject to change, but that's something that should be noted.
"But art and price should not relate". However we're being sold a copy as a product. So I would like to see how it fares in comparison to other stuff being offered at the same price, like a hardware review does, telling you a better solution or how the reviewed one is not the best. A more pragmatic vision of gaming where if you're looking for "that", you may like that other game that offers a better gameplay in the same genre. That's the kind of review I like.
They are zombie dogs, not plagas, so they don't react unless they are dead. Makes sense to me.
I dunno, sites like IGN or Gamestop have their own share of unprofessional stuff.
Or are we talking about real press, i.e. printed gaming magazines?

The review states:
- Too much ammo and health items
- No puzzles
- Doesn't improve on control problems or limitations of previous games
- Camera too close
- Zombies can fire guns
- Poor graphics and clipping issues, invisible walls
+ Good coop ai
+ multiple characters
They seem like valid concerns to me ... however it also smells quite a bit of "played the demo, pushed out a review about the whole game" because there are no specifics about anything that can be found.
Felt the same.

Same here. Anyone can fabricate a review like that. It's a "click" generator for an unknown website.
Also, he basically says that RE5 was a low blow to the series. And I loved it as a game. It made me come back several times and wanted to do everything on it. The combat felt exciting. Now, from the RE6 demo it felt a bit worse, because part of the charm of the Re5 combat system is how you could combine item managing with actions to be the ultimate plagas destroyer, specially on mercenaries.
Yeah feel the same. I don't mind the score. He can give it 1 it's fine. But I just want to know why. All of that doesn't indicate anything relate to full game ( or maybe it is but I just failed to catch that info ). He doesn't mention how the system in this game work. Doesn't mention story. Doesn't mention all the upgrade and stuff. And all other things that legit review should include.

I don't mean to put down the review just because of the score... But I don't think it's a legit review. A no-name site with very few followers, that publishes a review a week before the embargo date, has no details but spends the whole review whining how RE isn't RE anymore, and some of his claims are complete bullshit. I know from first-hand experience ammo is hardly in surplus, the game does in fact have puzzles (especially in Ada's demo I've played), and the rest of it sounds fishy too.

Good point. Now I'm wondering if I should even bother including this thread in the OT.

I'm convinced now he played the demo and is passing off his impressions of it as an official review. Nothing to see here.

Why do zombies have guns though? Not that I give a flying fuck about that review, but I saw one with an assault rifle in a mercs video. lol

An actual zombie from Leon's campaign?
Because they aren't the same kind of Zombies people are familiar with. They're a new kind with some retained ability to use weapons, to a very minor extent.
The t-Virus Zombies actually retained some of their memories too, so they're not far off.

There are (very rare) zombies who have guns, but they don't use it, at least accurately... What they sort of do is tumble with the gun and shoot randomly while stumbling around so it sprays in every which direction. Only zombies soilders that were infected, which is rare. There's also zombies with body armor, or construction hats, or zombies that scream and stun you, and others that have no skin but are very vicious, among others (such as zombie dogs and crows).

Actual reviewers said Shattered Memories had great puzzles and that was a gigantic load of horse shit. Reviews are honestly pretty useless when it comes video games 90% of the time. I think this guy is pulling things out of his ass too but the modern perception of what constitutes a puzzle is fairly broad.

Also a couple of people are saying the game was just released in United Arab Emirates, including one guy on GameFAQs who's posting some screens.
Isn't Ada's campaign paid DLC? Why would he include Ada's campaign in the review of the retail game?
Well when I heard it they specified that they weren't just like the puzzles in 4/5, but genuinely difficult. I do agree with you though, not long until we find out.
Ada's campaign is unlocked after beating the other three. It's not DLC at all.
Awwww shit.

I've been messing around with the zombies... they are really well done. They look awesome. They move awesome. Especially when crawling on the ground, it's deliciously creepy.
And the hit damage on them is just too good. Blowing literal holes in them? ahaha. I was shooting one walking toward me, and with three bullets had almost completely disintegrated her neck, I was wondering if her head would roll off, but then Leon popped her melon before I could see. lol.
Really though, this damage system on the zombies is one of the coolest I've seen, ever. Even though they are dumb and just fun fodder when alone or in a small group, they still pose a threat in a mob. You get caught in the middle of a pack and it's tricky to escape.

New for this series in particular, maybe. It just seemed as random as seeing a certain episode of The Walking Dead, where something is done for the sake of convenience, and not touched again.
Now that you mention it, they really haven't handled the memory thing all to well, imo.
Makes a bit more sense.
I hope the zombie damage was polished up a bit more after this build, pretty preposterous shooting a zombie in the face only for their chest to burst open. Maybe if something came out it'd be fucking awesome, but it was just pretty poor reaction.
I think the only real reference to it in the games themselves, outside of the official supplemental information, is in the very first game with the zombie opening the door to the kitchen. Don't think anything like that ever happens again, haha.

Weren't there guns in RE4 and RE5? =/

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Man I don't care what people say, the zombies can be pretty crafty.
I was replaying the demo again, and in Leon's section after you've got the keycard and a bunch of zombies drop off the ceiling in front of the doorway, I threw a flame grenade hoping to burn them, one of them took a freaking running leap over the flame and pinned Leon down.
I was NOT expecting that.
Yeah why is everyone acting so surprised ? RE4 had crossbows and RE5 had straight up AK wielding enemies.

In a game where a virus makes a giant eyeball spawn on your shoulder (or turns you into a dozens of claws hound), zombies carrying the last item on them as a reminder of when they were human should not be a concern.
