I'm confused..... Some reviewers give this game very high scores and others very low. You don't really see anything in between.

Gamers on the other hand without exception hate this game. At least the ones I talked too.

So, who is wrong here??

eferreira4216d ago

gamers hate it because they hate capcom right now and hate the fact that the resident evil series has evolved to an action game rather than a survival horror one. Reviewers probably feel the same way on my second point as well. That could be the reason for some low scores. I personally haven't played it yet but i'll get it eventually. Looks pretty good.

amaguli4216d ago

I have been wondering the same thing. From what I have played of Resident Evil 6, I would probably give it a 6.5 or 7, depending if I get blown away at any point.

Pretty much the camera is bad for an action game, the cover system is god awful, and some of the controls are convoluted. That being said, when it is clicking on all cylinders it is a fun game, you just have to be willing to acknowledged that this isn't really Resident Evil.

Wait until the price hits $30, and then you should consider buying it.

the fanboyism is... actually the fanboyism is destroying the game industry this days, that and the nostalgia....

ILive4216d ago (Edited 4216d ago )

The game is actually very good. Don't listen to all the negativity being poured on it. I would give an 8-8.5 because it is rather entertaining and the atmosphere is very immersible. Its a good game. Get it and i guarantee you will have a great time on and offline.

Leons campaign in resi 6 is fucking brilliant and is what resi 5 should have been. It's at least 8/9 out of 10. Then you have two other main campaigns along with Ada, which while not quite as good as Leons, are fun and add longevity. They certainly don't bring the full game package down to a 4/5! While pure survival horror fans may need to look elsewhere or pine for resi 1 or 2, the rest of us are playing the game for FUN, the cheesy story/dialogue, and shooting zombies in the face.

AsheXII4216d ago

The only people i see hating is those who haven't bought the game. Everyone i know is loving it.

CynicalKelly4215d ago

You are correct. I was one of the haters after I played the demo then got the game and slowly turned over until eventually I found myself falling in love with the game.

While I still think it has it's flaws like the drawn out boring boss battle for Leon, Jakes boss battle was epic and Chris's character development over the game was fantastic.

You can tell Capcom really listened and tried this time round, they brought all the favourites from raccoon back, they tried to bring back umbrella and our favourite type of boss, big animals!

The haters can get stuffed as far as I am concerned, Resi 5 got little to no hate yet was horrible and 6 which is a great game, story and gameplay wise and is getting all this hate.

I hope capcom know despite these haters that 6 is an improvement from 5 and not the other way around.

Digimortal4215d ago

Well said. Now it's funny i always see people that will quote people such as you or anyone who enjoys or loves this game and has the balls to sit there and say "Oh you never played the old school games" I cannot stand when people say that. Sure there are people who haven't but i myself have been called on this so many times it disgust me greatly. I never ever cared for the Horror Survival aspect in the RE games. What i fell in love with was the storyline, characters and creatures we fight. That's what pulled me into this universe and that my friend will never ever change for me. I've played every single RE game out there including the spin-offs and the ones that everyone ignored (Gaiden and ORC) I played everyone cause the story was so damn interesting to me. Learning about Characters past, what they where doing over the years inbetween games, creatures we fight and reading up about them (Files), the villains we fight and why and what drove them to do this sorta stuff, learning about Umbrella and the greed that is found within this company. Basically what I'm getting at, is simple. The universe is just amazing for me and it's so damn deep as well. This world that is known as Resident Evil is filled with amazing storylines, and history behind characters and companies. This is one series i will never ever give up on. It will always be with me for years and years and years to come. Gameplay and H/S was never a reason for me and nor will it ever be. This franchise that Capcom/Mikami has created will forever be with me until the day i die.

MrRedfield2174215d ago

I'm surprised not to see many comments on any review that has come lately, hasnt really been any news/rumors about re6 that has been in the 500+ degree range. Its probably because everyone is actually-most likely playing the game! I casually check n4g for the news and I always see haters everywhere commenting on different reviews and the attention to the reviews NOW are pretty low, people must be playing it. Its no surprise, I found the game entertaining after getting used to it, its not great buts its not the worst neither, its traditionally usual for me to get angry at any RE game for not being spot on, but I got used to RE6 like I got used to RE4 and 5 and it is in a FEW ways better than them both...but thats just me

There Will Never Be Another Resident Evil 6 (And That Sucks)

A rough gem that may never get the proper treatment it deserves.

Terry_B405d ago

^^ I don't want what the author was smoking.

-Foxtrot405d ago

It’s this thing where after enough time people start coming out to defend bad games for some strange reason

I mean hey if you liked it good for you but it was a f****** awful RE game.

Capcom are finally back on track and now people are crying about their shitty mistakes? No thanks.

RpgSama403d ago

I'd take a full blown remake of RE6 based around a GREATLY expanded Leon part and make it even more horror.

That might be something I would be interested in, do not care about any of the other parts of that game.

MadLad403d ago

I couldn't even get through the demo.
Years later I bought it for $3 for PC. I played about 5 minutes into it and uninstalled it.

babadivad403d ago (Edited 403d ago )

RE6 was better than 5. RE6 just took the series to the conclusion that started with 4.

RE4 was the inaugural title in the action game trilogy.

RE9 will be the likely end of the first person psychological thriller trilogy.

They'll switch it up for RE10 or more likely titled RE-X.

hotnickles403d ago

5 is vastly better than 6 imo

TheEnigma313403d ago

RE5 is way better than 6. Stop lying to yourself

FallenAngel1984405d ago (Edited 405d ago )

“But all this is solely with respect to how fans felt back in 2013 when Resident Evil 6 had just been released. The game resulted in the series getting indefinitely killed off until 5 years later when we got Resident Evil 7 and balance was restored yet again. ”

1.) Resident Evil 6 came out in 2012, not 2013

2.) A series getting killed off means no titles at all released in a time period. Silent Hill, Dead Space, Dino Crisis, Parasite Eve & Siren fans would love to see how you can say RE was on the same level of dormancy. In that 5 year time period we had a number of remasters that kept the series alive and kicking. RE1 02ms remaster even broke sales records during the period between RE6 and RE7.

3. Way to disrespect Resident Evil: Revelations 2. It was released during that RE6-RE7 period. It along with its predecessor were mainline titles that kept the horror roots of the series alive in comparison to RE5 and RE6. RE: R1 in particular even introduced the ability to walk and shoot into the series, a feature we can all be grateful for that in modern RE titles. The director RE: R1 later went on to direct RE7 and the director of RE: R2 later went to to direct the RE2 & RE4 remakes.

“Resident Evil 6 is often maligned as the worst entry in the Resident Evil series and is cited as the cause behind the long death of the franchise.”

Titles in the Resident Evil series such as Survivor, Gaiden, Dead Aim, Outbreak, Operation Raccoon City, Umbrella Corps, & Resistance we’re received far worse than RE6.

And death of the franchise?

RE6 was still one of the most commercially successful games in the series, guaranteeing the franchise’s future. Compare how underwhelming sales of Dead Space 3, Silent Hill: Downpour. Alone in the Dark: Illumination, Dino Crisis 3, Fatal Frame: Maiden in Black Water, Castlevania: Lords of Shadows 2, and Metroid: Other M which caused their respective series to go into a long period of dormancy without any rereleases to even keep activity up.

RE however still had a significant number of titles released and rereleased after RE6. Not only that but development for RE7 started a short time after its predecessor came out, meaning there was never a development time that the series could be considered dead. There hasn’t been a single year that Capcom stopped either developing, releasing, or rereleasing Resident Evil games. Let’s not act like the 5 year period between RE6 and RE7 is such a longer time compared to the 4 year period between RE4 and RE5 as well as RE7 and RE8. We can pretty much expect RE9 in either 2025 or 2026, and you can be certain that Capcom will still release other RE tiles leading up to it

TheEnigma313403d ago (Edited 403d ago )

Man go some where with this. Only a few like this game. Why would they remake a garbage game no one likes risking money because it won't sell? RE 6 is dumpster drippings, sorry.

MIDGETonSTILTS17403d ago

It wasn’t that good, even if you enjoyed it like me.
