I'll really like RE6. Really. It's my guilty pleasure. I am well aware of its flaws, the cartoonish bosses and all, but I can't help but to like it. The control is perfect for the action oriented sequences. And it makes sense. The characters are experienced, action heroes. It makes sense for them to roll, slide and all that. I love the controls on RE6. I also love the voices. The game has some of the best working on it (Troy Baker, Matt Mercer, Laura Bailey...and of course, Roger Craig Smith too). I can understand some of the complains, but I think the reception on the game by the specialized media was too harsh, pointing all the flaws and ignoring the good things the game brought to the table. Which is odd, that when RE7 came, all the reviews almost came over it, ignoring a lot of the game's obvious flaws (honestly, it looks like the reviewers only played half of the game...the first half).
There is a point I like to make though...I don't like when people say that "REX (4,5,6,7..etc) didn't felt like Resident Evil". I, for one, thought that RE7 looked like a spinoff, but it was still RE (even if I don't consider it to be one of the greats. Far from it). There's no true "RE formula". It's too much of a subjective opinion. Everything is Resident Evil and the formula of the series changes over time. And if those changes are good or bad it's totally subjective. I for, one, liked the changes brought by RE4 (and the over the shoulder era, to be honest. I really like it), because in my opinion, the fixed camera era was getting stale and predictable, especially on the gameplay departament. But that's my two cents on this.
I really like resident evil 6 but unfortunately it's full of flaws and stupid plot...
The review were right to give low vote to that game, I mean It deserved a 3 only for that level in Chris campaign when you use the car, the graphic in that level is worst Than a playstation 1 and it's so boring that you don't have to do anything but watch piers using the car because enemy follow you but guess what? The machin gun is pointed in front of the car so you had to shoot in front of you but enemy are always behind you...
Yeah the character are experienced action heroes and they can use roll ecc... But this doesn't mean that hey must survive plane crashes witouth a scretch or some other over the top stupid action whitout an injuries... The not a hero dlc from re 7does a better job in rapresenting an experienced hero in an horror situation because you still feel in danger despite the fact that you are playing whit Chris, but in resident eivk 6 this is never the case since it look like you play whit rambo in every campaign
Returning to the plot, i don't know if you ever noticed but everyone at the start of leon campaign are turned into a zombie but magically only leon and Helena are not infected but they are on the ground zeroes of the infection it was impossible for them to survive...
And there are many of this plot hole in this game...
I really love Jake, I like him as a character but he is wesker son... I mean come on, that's the most stupid things I have ever heard, who ever write this gamd doesn't know what kind of character wesker was... Wesker son? Wtf who the hell wrote this game
The gameplay is also dated, it look to robotic and mechanic, every time you lose a bar of healt the character fall like an idiot an this is upsetting and frustrating especially when javo shoot at you in Chris campaign and you fall every two second... Also the combat sistem is robotic you had to press a button to use Meele but the animation are so frustrating and robotic that sometimes miss the enemy...
The graphic is good but there are so many bugs and glitch in it that at one point I stopped counting...
Some level are completely unfinished especially in Chris campaign and some texture are worst than the texture from the Ps1 Era...
I Think that resident evil 6 was a good game and I admire Capcom for what it was trying to do, a game whit 3 different campaign (4 whit ada) and I think that no other game have ever done this, the campaign are all different, it's look like 3 story, like 3 games... Also playing online or split screen was awesome, the mercenaries mode is still awesome...
But let's be honest resident evil 6 is the worst resident evil ever made and one of the worst action game ever, I can't see bad things like this in resident evil 7 except the third part of the game and the final boss who was to lame and short, but thanks good they released the not a hero dlc who expanded the third act
But you are right in one point, I don't like when people say that re 4 5 6 and 7 doesn't look like a re, because resident evil wasn't only horror, but was also action, yeah people remember this word resident evil was and it's still action, who ever say that resident evil was never action before 4 Than had never played resident evil 2 and 3... some moment in the resident evil series were also over the top and cartonish or manga like, there were also epic action moment in re 1 2 3 and code veronica like the battle with birkin and the tyrant, wesker vs alexia, wesker himself, the rivalry between wesker and chris... Resident evil is not just horror its also action and epicness that sometimes look like anime or manga, i will say like dragon ball...
