Resident Evil 6 .. is it really that bad ?

My review for it

In the end, is it a terrible game? No. Its playable (though the mentioned bug is annoying if hit with it), but its a straight up third person shooter, just with familiar characters and some zombies in a couple of the campaigns.

No it isn't a bad game. People aren't reviewing it properly. If you're a die hard Resident Evil fan then no don't play it. You'll get really mad at the game. Personally I enjoy the Resident Evil games, but I'm not a die hard fan. Resident Evil 6 doesn't play like a RE game. It plays like a AAA title third person shooter with zombies. I got the complete pack for $6 on steam trades so I think that was a pretty good deal. The game is fun if you want to play a good co-op game with a friend or you're in the mood for killing some mutant zombies.

Eh, it's pretty fun for me. Never played Resident Evil 1-3 before though :T

I get the feeling they were expecting an older RE styled game (i.e. dead genre) and not something more revelant. It's a fact that survivor horror as RE made it is dead.

Nah, it's really good! Very action-packed and feels like a big-time movie.

I liked it better than 4 and 5, to be honest.

I think it would getter reviews if it wasn't a Resident Evil title. It's a quite good action game. The plot is okay, soundtrack and graphics are pretty good, and gameplay is solid. Characters can be quite lovable.

Only tried the demo and it's fun. The thing is people always expect a good old spooky game but it turns into an action game.

i liked it. It's cheap now, worth it

Can't be worse than 5

If you have a friend to play it with, I would say that it is worth it. Just remember that it is a third person co-op shooter and not a survival horror game. I have not played any of the DLCs and have only played it with a friend, so I am not sure how fun it is alone.

Bad Resident Evil game, but not a bad game.

if you play with a friend the game becomes more enjoyable.(I played both 5 and 6 with my gf)

for horror game yes / action nah :)

Bad? Hell no. It's a very good game IMO. Tons of action, awesome monsters, great boss fights, interesting story and very long campaign (if you count all 4 of them). Is it the best RE game? Of course not. Is it enjoyable? Hell yeah.

But first chapter in first campaign is terrible IMO so it might throw you off. Play through a little more to see if you like it.

Am i the single person on the internet who is a die hard fan of the series and enjoyed this game the hell out of it? For real...

Get RE5 instead and play coop with your friend. The DLCs are for competitive multiplayer only, not worth it.

The 5 was much better than 6. But 6 isn't terrible at all. It is a very good co-op shooter. With some zombie elements.

But it's got some flaws. First - too long levels. It takes up to 90 minutes to finish one. And there are 20 of them. And since I've finished RE5 in just under 4 hours, RE6 is much longer game - but in a bad way. The scenery is repetitive. Puzzles are time consuming, but not challenging. And you get to revisit locations a lot. My first battle against Chaos took me about 45 minutes. Out of which I spend about 30 trying to figure out what I should do to defeat this guy.

The plot is mostly copy-paste from all earlier RE's. And it also doesn't make much sense. I mean, repeating Raccoon city incident to cover up Raccoon city incident? Creating new epidemic outbreak to kill one person (what happened to good old sniper rifle?) Replacing well known characters with their more annoying copies? (Sheva - Helena, Claire - Shery) Bio terrorists have extreme hardware (dozens of choppers, thousands of people, two Aircraft carriers and at least one nuclear submarine - where the hell did they bought it? And how they have hidden two aircraft carriers?) And half of the dialogs are paraphrases of RE4 and RE5. The only good thing about it is how it overlaps between campaigns.

New kind of virus and zombies are fun to shoot at, bosses are in most cases interesting (with two exceptions - Ustanak and Chaos - first one is copy of Nemesis, second is useless)

One last thing - the camera. It is much worse than RE5. It is worse that Tomb Raider (The original one form 1996) It is especially terrible during action sequences. In first phase of battle with Chaos all of my deaths were caused by camera movement. When I am running from giant BOW I want to see where am I going, instead of looking on his face.

I know that I was mostly complaining in this text, but the point is - it is still good fun to shoot zombies/mutants. Especially in co-op. Graphics are fun to watch. Weapons work fine, difficulty is challenging but not brutal (with the exception of Chaos - first you battle camera, then you are almost invincible, but enemy is regenerating so fast that it takes a while to kill him), co-op works great. It is a very good co-op shooter. Not so good Resident Evil game.

I played it alone and didn't really enjoy it but it isn't so bad, if cheap enough you can buy it. I bought it for 8€ on my 360

It's too bad, controls, camera and history !!!!

The biggest mistake people make with Resident Evil games is expect a game like RE1. Remember, It's a franchise. I personally played RE1 & 2 when they came out and really liked them. I also liked the movies. I like RE Revelations. RE4 on the xbox 360 has a fov that doesn't feel right for me, so I never played that for more than an hour or two. But they're like different burgers at a fast food restaurant. You basically know what you're getting, just that they cater to different tastes. Some things may not please you, especially if you only want the same thing again and again. Some things you may enjoy even though you expected something different.
If possible, always try out a demo first. Maybe on a console. There always may be some minor things that are incredibly annoying to you.

This is going to come from a long time fan of the series since 1997 when i first touched the PS1 controler in my hand at a local gaming store.

Resident Evil 6 is boring. I played the demo on the XBox 360 and PS3 and it was okay to play Leon's sscenarior as it reminded me lil of RE2/3.

but Chris is like action action action and omg its fucking cod bla bla. on linear than fuck ever.

I got the game for cheap on PS3 i mean really cheap i played it.. maybe 2 hours i put it down thought fuck that i rather play something else. i got robbed some games were stolen i rebought them except RE6 why cause it sucked so bad for me that i wont pay much at all to get it again. i will get it on the haloween sale hoping to get it for 85% or more cheaper with all DLC's but yeah this also depends entirely on you.

I got Revelations cause it was quiet decent. RE5 is decent not too much like the actual RE but decent.

and that is my 2Cents

I am too big resident evil franchise fan to say that resident evil 6 make me cry :D But like real fan i buy game in steam when i finish it second time nonsteam version ...

its not a bad game.but it is also not an RESIDENT EVIL!

Well, it comes down to personal opinion and opinions are like assholes....everybody has one and they all stink. Liking a game is a purely subjective thing. I could say to you, "I love Uplink, I know of 5 others that like it, too, and only 1 of my mates hates it. So, if you want to buy it, then that's 5 against 1, which has to mean that you'll like it", but that doesn't necessarily mean that you'll like Uplink...You may even end up hating it something fierce but I had 5 guys tell you it was worth buying, so you HAVE to agree with me as it was 83.4% that like it and only 16.6% that don't like it.

Do you see where I'm going with this? Like is always very personal, there are games, absolute hugely popular games, that I don't like, even if 90% did say it was worth buying, to me, it was a waste of money.

My advice, either get it on sale, (if it's still on sale), or go to a third party key shop and get it cheap from there. There's only YOU that can tell you if you'll like it
