Health recovery has also been tampered with, the classic herb system now replaced with tablets. While herbs are still collected, they're useless until the player goes into the menu and mixes them into these tablets, which are swallowed with a quick button press. One pill restores one block of health, and in order to replenish several blocks at once, the tablet button must be pressed the corresponding number of times. Why? Why was the simple idea of using a health item dragged out into several more contrived steps? This enhances the game in no way whatsoever, it's just convoluted for the sake of being convoluted. Of all the things to alter, I cannot fathom who in their right mind would have the hubris to try and reinvent the working method of health restoration with all the elegance of a train full of rhinos.
RE6 is looking like it has another superb iteration of Mercenaries.
And for that, it's got a purchase from me. I've never really minded RE's controls and camera.
Don't buy it. It's garbage.
He always gets mad when people ask the same thing over and over. No real huge deal.LMAO holy shit.
It's not a bad game.
Unfortunately hating on Capcom and RE's direction since 4 is the cool thing to do now. :/
Question: What was the last AAA game to average in the low 70s or lower on Metacritic? Doesn't happen very often, does it?
Need to see what Giantbomb says on this.
Next RE they should not have 600 fucking people working on it. It's obvious someone went way overboard and things got muddled. It basically collapsed on itself by being too big.

I like how Neogaf has this selective hatred of Jim Sterling where his reviews are either unreadable garbage or Word Of God depending on what game he's bashing.
I checked on Metacritic, and apparently the average review score given to a game is 72.5.
So, we'd either have to consider almost every game ever reviewed above average, or just say that RE6 is in an incredibly low percentile by some publications' standards.
The same group of people who through Saints Row: The Third was the pinnacle of gaming in 2011?
Why?

Doesn't the score depend on the publication? A lot seem to employ American grading style, so 50 is a failing grade.
Shooter fans will be disappointed by the messy gameplay, and the sloppy handling of the Resident Evil lore is bound to upset fans
SCORE:Umbrella may have filled Raccoon City with horrific creatures, but SlantSix has tainted the fabled town in its own way. It’s difficult recommending a return to Raccoon when you have to endure buggy AI, clunky gameplay, and terrible glitches like disappearing floors. Yes, on more than one occasion my friends and I had to ditch whole missions because we kept falling into an empty void. Not even online play is enough of a reason to warrant checking out this botched experiment with the Resident Evil brand.

RE is their biggest franchise, if these review scores are not a wake up call then they're truly a lost cause. They ran SF into the ground and it seems RE is going to go the same way. BIG change is really needed.
I never understood the hate for RE5. Really, really enjoyed it with my friend.Wow those reviews... and I thought RE5 was shit yet that got pretty darn good reviews....
I don't really have an interest in debating review theory because largely I do feel that it is a waste of time since the entire business is broken and most outlets are glorified PR mouthpieces anyway. But... I'll humor one factor in this because I think it's worth following up on.
I feel that games as interactive audio/visual experiences are made up of a ton of different elements. Even within these elements, there are various sub-elements which can appeal to different people and can be individually judged on their own merits. As such, it is -possible- (and I'm not saying this is true, simply that it is an actual possibility) that a product consist of many average elements or below average elements, but also consists of certain unique elements or strengths which elevate the entire work and give it an above-average identity.
So yes, I think it is possible to have a reality where the average game might not be above average in every single area, but still has something that elevates it to a point where it is above average. At the same time, a game which is utterly average in every single area, can also exist. On a perfect scale, this game would get a 5/10, even if the average game gets 7/10. Yet that 5/10 would not represent a broken game or a terrible one. Simply one where every aspect is average. It works, but it isn't original or particularly interesting.
To the consumer this SHOULD be a bad thing, because like I said, in entertainment, being average is a failing grade. In fact, there are many significantly bad movies I would rather watch, than an utterly mediocre one. There is some pleasure to be had from seeing how poorly made something can be, but there is no joy in seeing something which simply meets the bare minimum requirements but has no love or creativity in it.
The game wasn't just Capcom Japan like Dragon's Dogma. It had over 600 employees which included their western division who are completely incompetent. Every time Capcom wants to make a game that solely appeals to the West they fail miserably, there are so many examples now I don't understand why they don't learn instead continue to make dated vision-less games for the West.
Best review yet.
No bullshit, or beating around the bush. :lol
Need to see what Giantbomb says on this.
beats the weirdos that thought skyrim was the pinnacle of anything for 2011
It depends where we draw the line for AAA at.
It's gotten a bit more common this year.
Dragon's Dogma got a 75 on its most reviewed version for example.

Mikami/Kamiya and Capcom parting seems like it didn't work out all that well for either party. Mikami and Kamiya still won out due to being able to continue making whatever they wanted, but their shit still isn't selling and they don't get access to the production values Capcom would have granted them. On Capcoms side they've obviously suffered from the lack of two of their best devs.
It's a shame.

Yeah, "AAA" is admittedly a nebulous label. But certainly, for a mainline entry in a successful, established franchise, I can't think of a lower score anytime recently.
I wonder if Capcom will stop and wonder if the two most Western-style RE games released also getting the worst scores is somehow connected.
Nah, they'll probably assume that they didn't go far enough.
MGS4 came out 4 years ago
And is everyone who carries water for Resident Evil going to use the IT HAS A LOT OF CONTENT as a plus for RE6? The game plays like shit; the chance to play more shit isn't a positive.
You do know all of this will lead to Capcom outsourcing RE7 to a western dev.
AAAAAAHHHHHHH yes yes yes I was about to post saying "not heard anything about mercs in this review-ageddon is that good or bad?" - so mercs is looking good then? As long as mercs is ok and I can have a giggle co-oping then all is right with the world.
Really looking forward to this still, hurry the shit up Amazon pre-order!
Giving MGS4 a 10 and neglecting the fact its full of unnecessary cutscenes and control ripping moments is a bad thing in my book.MGS4 came out 4 years ago

Joke's on anyone taking Famitsu scores seriously. It's known that scores can be bought outright or are inflated to prop up the domestic industry.so does famitsu just give a near perfect score to every game made by a AAA studio in their country because I can't possibly see it being nearly as good as their score
