RE6 Demo Is Awful

MMGN.com blogger speaks about the new RE6 demo, and asks whether all demos should be considered representative of the final product. (PC, PS3, Resident Evil 6, Xbox 360)

Thanks for your input, but I'll judge for myself.

What is awful?

really lets see if our definitions line up.

I dunno I always though resident evil was bad ass like a hidden respect for it.

but the sad truth for me is that i cant ever get past the first room or two. I just dont like the games.

I can admit that i have tried countless times to play all of the re games but i cant seem to enjoy them

but i still think they're bad ass

can someone explain to me what im doing wrong when it comes to re games.

I love the whole concept but i cant get through a single level, in fact i dont even know if they have levels.

Do they have levels?
Baba1906  +   317d ago
you seem to be confused. =D how can you not like the game if you have never played it? couse you cant tell me that the first room you start in is so difficult that you cant go on... and no there are no lvls, but i havent played many action games that have such a thing as lvls. at least not like a plattformer or a rpg where you lvl up. i dont really get what you are asking to be honest =D
Autodidactdystopia  +   317d ago
I like the game I just dont like the game.

know what i mean?

I cant get through them, they dont flow for me.

so i cant seem to get through them.

but i like them i think theyre well made and top notch entertainment.

difficult to explain really.
BkaY  +   317d ago
naw bro its not your fault... its same like i have all halo games, and i tried to like em .. but cant...

i really understand what you mean...

for me RE series is one of the best series .... i dont care if they change the direction to cater for new players.. but RE2 n RE4 all times fav..

peace

"I like the game I just dont like the game.

dude you like it and you don't, and do I know what you mean ????

I'll have what you are smoking, please.

@mt
To make his comment more understandable. He likes the idea but not the execution.

In that respect you can do both. There are going to be those who enjoy all aspects of a game series and then there will be those who like only certain aspects.

Neither side is right or wrong as it is simply just a matter of personal taste. Like BkaY and his wanting to like the halo games. To many they represent a good story line in games that have been few and far between.

That isnt to say that simply because of liking the story that the actual gameplay is equally as likeable. We have seen many people express their distaste for how the halo games flow. I personally enjoy the play mechanics as well as the story.

Im not much of a multiplayer person but i will play multiplayer matches when im inclined to. To me its isnt the most important part of a modern game unlike others who only look at the multiplayer as a reference point to overall quality.

The resident evil series has many games that appeal differently to people.
theaceh  +   317d ago
I feel the same way about Mass Effect. Can't play the game for more than 15 minutes and yet something makes me feel like I'm missing out.
Mutant-Spud  +   316d ago
I feel the same, the only RE game I've ever completed was the first one, I too respect what the games try to do only I actually thought RE5 was awful compared to the others.
PopRocks359  +   317d ago
Seven disagrees for wanting to judge a game for myself?

Jesus, this community is fucked.
SeekDev  +   317d ago
I'm sometimes dumbfounded as to how some users can disagree with a certain comment of mine that seemed undisagreeable. What's worse, I'll never learn why they disagreed, so I'm just left permanently curious.

Seriously, if you state an opinion on this site, people will disagree and complain/insult you.

welcome to n4g... Lol

LordMe  +   318d ago
Well, I got Dogma for the PS3, and that is punishable by Capcom standards, so I have to wait to play it.

But oh well. I will judge it for myself when I get to.

it IS labeled as an opinion piece though..
Hufandpuf  +   317d ago
So good previews are fine, but when there are bad previews you get all defensive? I thought it was only an opinion?

or do you object because you played it too?

"So good previous are fine, but when there are bad previous you get all defensive? I thought it was only an opinion?"

... "Preview", not "previous". Not even close on having the same meaning...
Lord_Sloth  +   317d ago
Notice that I neither defended nor insulted the game. I merely pointed out that his article was an opinion. Don't jump the gun in the future.
Hufandpuf  +   317d ago
But in the link it called him a bitch. Offensive being defensive, no?
Lord_Sloth  +   317d ago
I call everybody a bitch. You'll just have to get over it.
abzdine  +   317d ago
Come on guys let's boycot this crap. We all want a real RE and it's time to make things change.
phntom  +   317d ago
I could not agree more.
strauser360  +   317d ago
"We" as in every gamer in the world? No. Besides did you even play the demo?
abzdine  +   317d ago
I dont want to play the demo it looks aweful and plays aweful and this game is a very weak TPS. Japs should stick to what they used to do best.

No occidental developer tries to make JRPG like games because they would just not be able to make it so i think everyone should stick to what they can do and stop blindly copying the others.

I'm talking about those who know what RE really is.

@strauser360... nicely played. even better was the response to his critique of it being "crap": "I dont want to play the demo it looks aweful and plays aweful and this game is a very weak TPS. Japs should stick to what they used to do best. "

Ignorance is bliss I suppose but @abzidine definitely wins the face palming response of the day on N4G.
sonicsidewinder  +   317d ago
I shall follow you into the fires of hell to make this a reality.
disparage  +   317d ago
Come on guys let's wait until the damn game comes out and reserve judgment until then.
abzdine  +   317d ago
Let's make a statistic: For those who are boycotting this thing agree with this post, which means that those who disagree love what they are seeing and in case of disagreement i'd like them to post WHY cause i'm maybe missing something.
-MD-  +   317d ago
The people that love what RE6 is shaping up to be never played the originals and if they DID play the originals then they were never much of a fan anyways.

RE6 is trash compared to the PS1/Gamecube games.
BkaY  +   317d ago
@abzdine dont turn it into facebook likes begging frenzy....

@MD.. agree but i loved all RE games and yes RE5 as well. i plat it..

have you played RE6.. (honest question)
i am not talking about the demo crap.. whole game..

peace

By now people should know the RE franchise isnt going back to its roots as long as it has a number in its name. People who complain about this is just looking for something to bitchh about. RE6 is no way a bad game based off the demo. If you base your opinion from someone elses thats sad i think. Dont spend 64 on the game go rent it, and if you like it buy it if not dont. And let that be the end of it.
CustardTrout  +   317d ago
Actually I feel the contrary, it seems they're trying to please everyone with multiple story lines, Leon has a very root based game, Chris has a more action packed game like the more recent games, and Jake basically has over the top and epic.
CustardTrout  +   317d ago
You're awful.
310dodo  +   317d ago
the demo is ok

theres just truly nothing "game changing" about it.

but I will redbox it when it comes out
InTheLab  +   317d ago
I've seen a lot of older gamers complaining about it. Gamers that started the franchise with RE4 or RE5 usually have no problem with RE6.

I haven't played the demo yet but from what I've seen, it looks like a generic action title and we all know younger gamers LOVE generic action titles.

Going to pass on this one.
izumo_lee  +   317d ago
I said this in another news post.

It looks like Capcom is trying to recreate that sense of fear in Leon's part of the game but for some reason the whole time i was watching that i was not scared or get that feeling of tension at all.

Maybe Capcom is trying too hard & missing the mark or it is cause that 'magic' is no longer there to begin with.
sonicsidewinder  +   317d ago
cus of co-op.
Roccetarius  +   317d ago
Capcom already gave up on Horror titles, because the genre is a dead one.

Again, they gave up on Horror, because they lost the touch.
VTKC  +   317d ago
You know. Hating on Capcom is one thing. BUt telling people their demo of a very anticipated game is awful? Seriously people can judge for themselves as its a DEMO which is the purpose of sampling of whats to come. AND EVEN THEN demos come with a warning stating "the demo doesnt necessary reflect the final product etc"
Campy da Camper  +   317d ago
Yes, but that little disclaimer usually means a little more shading or minor tweaking will be done to final product. It does not mean the whole level design, mechanics and story will be redone.
Kyosuke_Sanada  +   317d ago
I thought it was weird seeing Leon panic every time lightning flashes or was it just me........
ConstipatedGorilla  +   317d ago
You'd panic too if you were raped by zombies.

Agreed. I'll be putting some cash aside for Ni no Kuni too! + bubble for you.

I can see where he is coming from,but he did state that if the full game is like the demo a been their and done it affair countless times is it worth getting ???? Reminds me when you see a trailer to a film and you watch the film and think fucking hell i should of just stuck to the trailer because it showed all the best bits :)
Dlacy13g  +   317d ago
True, but on the flip side how many times have you skipped a movie thinking "meh" because of a poor trailer only to be pleasantly surprised by how good it was? I personally have done both...not hear to say RE6 is a master piece but in the same breath I am willing to wait on my judgement until the full proper game is released. And lets be honest..the "been there done that before" tag can be thrown at countless games across many genres that we love from the racing genre, shooters of all types...RPG's.
braydox21  +   317d ago
never going to buy a capcom game again never unless the cirumstances change i will not buy a capcom game i bought dead rising 2 it was good it really was just two issues one the zombrex and the time limit to escape there is an unbroken rule in openworld games and that is not to put a time limit on fun it is not fun, and i hope that you can move and shoot at the same time cause if your cannot do even that in the game ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff do not trust capcom anymore and i only bought one of their games i feel sorry for all those people who bought all of them then plus that towards dlc
