"You can order the survival-horror video game in the following link: Resident Evil 6"

Even if I wanted RE6, I will not find a "survival horror", fix that please.

Number-Nine4206d ago

i really wish people didn't buy this game. it looked like utter trash.

the series will not change if people keep buying this trash.

LOGICWINS4206d ago

Your opinion doesn't represent that of all gamers. Evidently, not EVERYONE thinks its trash. I thought the demo sucked, but I respect the opinion of anyone who enjoyed the demo/full game.

Number-Nine4206d ago (Edited 4206d ago )

i wish they had a different opinion, that's all.
if they enjoyed the game then props to them.

all i want is for the series to return to what it once was. sales might say it's successful but that's just capcom cashing in on the name and reputation it once had. some genuinely enjoy it, i know. but there is certainly a mixed crowd.

Aceman184206d ago

a friend of mine finished it and gave it a 8/10. so yea there are people out there like you said who will enjoy this game.

Pintheshadows4206d ago

I garnered both enjoyment and primal rage out of it, but it isn't nearly as bad as some have made out. It is however shockingly inconsistent with regards to design, story, gameplay, set pieces.

Chris's campaign is the biggest example of this. It features my favourite moment in the game (a certain boss fight) but so much of it is derivative action game nonsense (shoot down the attack chopper with a grenade launcher) that it left me with a sour taste in my mouth.

aquamala4206d ago

what do you want the series to return to?

dreadful cutscenes/voice acting? limited saves? fixed camera? aweful controls?

Sevir4206d ago

Chris's campaign was OK, the best part of it was the segment tracking down the snake boss. That was up together well. And lemons campaign was awesome..

LOGICWINS4206d ago

Holy crap! So it basically doubled what RE5 did lol.

Grap4206d ago

so what? doesn't mean it's huge success PS3 and Xbox360 have nearly 140M fanbase when in 2008 they were roughly 50M. that's 3x.

geddesmond4206d ago

Yeah it doubled what RE5 sold but with more than double the amount of consols on the market now than there was back then and RE5 released in March. Games always do better after September. Its the weeks to follow that will determine how well the game will do compared to RE5.

For me I already see a crap load of used copies in HMV and Gamestop so I don't think this game will do even 4 mil first year let alone the 7 mil Capcom predicted. I've also noticed everyone on my friends list who got the game are all back playing Borderlands 2 which isn't a good sign for a game.

gnothe14206d ago

geddesmond..would you please stop with your lies..a traded in game has to sit 2 weeks plus before it can be resold..the game hasnt been out two weeks yet...so how have you seen crap loads of used copies...if you dont like the game thats fine..but dont try an make things seem worse than they are...

geddesmond4205d ago

@Gnothe1

Let me ask you a question. Where in this world do you live because I live in Ireland and Gamestop and HMV have loads of used copies. Maybe its policy where your from but not over here.

ShaunCameron4206d ago

The NA and EU #'s just came back and it looks like RE6 will be a success. In other words, Capcom won. Haters lost.

Lovable4206d ago (Edited 4206d ago )

Just enjoy the game people. Weed out all these "nostalgia freaks"

aquamala4206d ago

pre ordered and still playing, great game.

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

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

Terry_B397d ago

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

-Foxtrot397d 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.

RpgSama395d 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.

MadLad395d 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.

babadivad395d ago (Edited 395d 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.

hotnickles395d ago

5 is vastly better than 6 imo

TheEnigma313395d ago

RE5 is way better than 6. Stop lying to yourself

FallenAngel1984397d ago (Edited 397d 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.

Immagaiden397d ago (Edited 397d ago )

“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

TheEnigma313395d ago (Edited 395d 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.

MIDGETonSTILTS17395d ago

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