Resident Evil 6 - Review Thread | Activist Reviews and the Hate Patrol Destroy Truth™

Probably the best thing to happen to the series. They need to forget that RE4 ever existed and go back to what made the series popular to begin with.

Funny but the comparison is a bad one. The two games have nothing in common imo.

Here is a quote from Eurogamer's review


Capcom's uncertainty about the series' identity post-Mikami (and post-Uncharted) is hardcoded into its structure: four campaigns offering different, flawed expressions of that potential. And the inevitable price for this wavering is a lack of coherence.

Yup everything has been Uncharted all right.

Yep. However, his disgust towards too many cutscenes on Re6 yet 10/10 on mgs4 is... funny in a way.

It just shows that people were out to hate this game and it's direction from the very beginning. I'm really disappointed that "video games journalism" has come to this.

yes, the game is not perfect.

But a fucking 3?

We've both played it. I'd like to know what they played to come to that comparison. I suggest you play it for yourself because I really don't see the comparisons with Uncharted. =/
 
It's 20 hours and people are lauding it for being EPICALLY LONG? Jesus.

I think a lot of the scores are respecting the ambition, and care that went into the game in particular making it accessible and inclusionary. And I think that's valid, but underneath it doesn't seem like a game I'll enjoy. Good for Capcom for putting the time money and effort into the game, but it seems like something with half the people, half the money.. but a little creative vision would have been received better.

Stale cameras, inexplicable puzzles, stunted controls and brutal voice-acting?

They don't need to forget RE4, they need to reevaluate RE4 and see why RE5 and 6 are not the same.

That settles it, taking my money elsewhere.

I know it looks like I'm hating on just this game in this thread but honestly, after years of this shit and the negative effect it's had on the industry, every wannabe on rails bro shooter should get a 3/10.

600 people worked on this, 600! The series needs just one persons vision, it sounds like a game the marketing men thought up

I'm surprised the major sites were not indulgent on it. The West wants to ridiculize the Japanese gaming industry!

Wastes hours checking old Famitsu software data, but that's why we love him.
Wow. Will be interesting to see how this impacts sales, if at all.
 
I'm both sad and happy....sad because I wanted a good RE game and happy because these sites are probably giving appropriate scores and calling Capcom out.

It still may sell like tons ORC or more,RE fans need to stop buying bad RE games for Capcom to change stuff

Listlessly wallowing in the depthless waters of homogeneity, Resident Evil 6 is a coward of a game, afraid to make its own individual mark in the industry and cravenly subscribing itself to every overplayed trope in the book.

Damn.

The mechanics in this game are far different than just any old 'bro' shooter. Had they slacked up on the quick time events and pulled the camera back a bit more, I bet it would have made a world of difference for those who are trashing it.

Bad scores or not, i'll play this. Resident Evil has always been a bastion of amazing creature design, and I would not want to miss it for the world.
