First Impressions - RE6

Closed
Docdra

Well, there is about a 5 to 15 minute prologue you have to play through before you hit the actual Menu Screen - if for any reason you don't finish this, it does not save any of the prior activity (configuring settings, gameplay even after it says it saved, etc.) - so just be aware of that. Oh yeah, until you do that you don't have the "Quit" option either.

The forums over at Steam are filled with all sorts of issues, but so far my only real gripe besides the above is that it keeps trying to auto-switch me to mouse & keyboard, even though they aren't anywhere near me. I'm using the 360 gamepad and based on some complaints about how the mouse and keyboard work, that is the way to go.

I'm not even an RE fan, but this looked interesting - anyone else pick it up or have any issues with it?

There are 5 giveaways created by me, soon to be a sixth; 4 are public and one is private - some of them contain hints to the private giveaway, which in turn will house the hint to the final giveaway...eventually. I need at least 10 people to find the 5th giveaway in order to unlock the sixth and trust me, it is worth it...

Runs great, pretty decent port.

My only issues so far:
mouse acceleration which can't be disabled (I think)
Camera speed too fast (Even though it's on the lowest setting possible ingame)
Some shitty textures but most are acceptable

Oh yeah and it does take a while before you get the real 'menu' where you can adjust your FOV and some other settings.

Capcom really suprised me to be honest. I didn't play their latest games because I remember hating them because of some very crappy ports but hey this is nice. Still hope to get a patch to fix those minor issues though ^^

I bought it a few days ago. I have a lot of university work on the weekend related with translations and presentations but after that I'm going to start playing it. Can't wait!

Go, go, go!!! Then wait, wait, wait - this was the longest after-install setup I've ever had for a Steam game - so if it seems like it isn't doing anything, just wait - do NOT stop it.

Lol... instead of the 13.6 Gigs I was expecting it to download... it took up over 25-30 just during the process before install... I had to keep deleting things to find room. Finished and installed but only started the prologue for a few minutes and then quit... kind'a laggy and some textures look really bad. About to give it another go here soon.

Trying to figure out if I should go back to playing it immediately or finish repairing my old Xbox before someone comes in and moves all the parts around. That input method switching is really annoying, I mean really, really...

This is honestly one of those games where I'd ignore the previewers/reviewers - because you either really hate it, really love it, or are completely ambivalent towards it - with the majority falling in one of the two prior categories.

Frankly traditional RE fans don't seem to like this one that much, which ended up being the main reason I looked into it - they got rid of the slow deliberate pacing, it isn't cheesy survival horror now, the control scheme seems a little less like a spazzy 6 year old created it (only slightly though), etc. Don't get me wrong, I loved the original game - I mean the original Japanese version, which I still have, but from 2 up to 5 I couldn't get into them - I'm hoping this one changes that.

I'm an old RE fan but I just think of it as a nameless zombiegame without thinking it being Resident Evil.

I do hate the fact we aren't getting RE games like the old ones but whatever compared to other games nowadays it's good enough to have some fun and waste your time.

Tried, it gave an error message. Something about it's been sent to Docdra, ask for a different key...

Not sure how Desura works, just figured I already had that game or something. Oh well... :)

Aha, looks like I noticed it first, thank you again! :)

That's enough key grabbing for me, two games in one day is pretty good... :)

Just one thing i hate about lots of recent zombie games including this. When i shoot a zombie to the head, i usually expect him to die and not take 6 shots as if he had an iron head :/

So far I get a nice pop and spray with head shots and they go down for the count, but we'll see...

Common zombies that doesn't even have shirts have an invisible helmet? Didn't see that coming :/

Edit: I just read what i wrote and it might have sounded sarcastic, didn't mean to do it :P

Nope you were right - there appears to be a distance factor and something else involved - if they're several steps away, then I have to shoot them more often, but if they are right up close I only need 1 or 2 shots to put them down...

Controls seem a little clunky, but I think that's the case on console as well. Need to actually start the campaign...

Any suggestions of which campaign to start with? Leons is probably more my speed but I dunno.

I think RE games have always had what I'd call clunky controls, but there is another console artifact I find aggravating - the frequent loading that goes on - ugh!!!

I really enjoyed this game on PS3. Although, I'll most likely wait for a PC price drop.

Unfortunately, I'm the one who's having issues. I'm ok with the game, it's not perfect, but co-op should be fun. But it keeps crashing for me in the end of metro in Leon's campaign. ;; To be honest, I tried the pirated version before buying it, cuz benchmark didn't want to give me any playable fps, but RE5 worked fine for me and there're no major graphics improvments. So I installed it and completed this stupid tutorial and even reached the metro. It was working pretty well, just like RE5 did. I was all happy and I had a friend who was looking for a mate to play with, so I decided to buy it. And, well, I bought it and completed the damn tutorial once more, went to the metro like I did on the pirated the version and then when I walked through it and reached the exit I got d3derr fatal error. Cool story. I don't know what to do, I'm not sure if they're even going to fix it. ;;

What video card do you have? Recent game releases (not just RE6 but Tomb Raider and some other games) have a tendency to benefit from the latest beta drivers.

I know right? But there're still no Beta drivers for RE6. Ofc it was the first thing I was looking for.

I'm finding it impossible to play online with anyone at the moment. Me and a friend tried for a while but it would not allow us to join. Even after trying to join other lobby matches, we both got the same error. I'm convinced the co-op doesn't actually work yet, which is shocking, Capcom.......

you don't play RE games for the gameplay, you play them for the story so well worth it for me.

I play them for the insanity. Monster grows a vagina out the mouth or people turn into scorpions.
