Everyone's Favourite Resident Evil Game Somehow Tops Nine Million Sales

Ahh, Resident Evil 6. This was everyone's favourite entry in the survival horror franchise, right? Wait, what? Oh... Well people sure did buy a lot of copies anyway. The controversial title has just topped a staggering nine million lifetime sales as of 31st March 2019.

How? HOW!?

[Rodney25]

IDK maybe because it's good. Just a thought.

[-Foxtrot]

Lol. No

[Army_of_Darkness]

F#@K Noooo!... I got fooled into buying it from Leon's campaign *smh*

[chris235]

there is something called „a brand“. some people start drooling when their favourite logo pops up. that‘s why nintendo is still a thing and why a pretty bad game gets sold millions of times.

Resident Evil 6 is good game but is not the successor of the main games of the series. The game had significantly expanded action elements and almost all the elements of horror were removed. This game would be better suited to be a branch from the main series, rather than a numbered game.

[PhoenixUp]

I bought it just last month

[ShinRon]

me too, its the only one i didnt finish much less playthrough repeatedly

[CrimsonWing69]

Same here, I actually loved it and I'm an old school RE fan, crazy, I know!

[carcarias]

To be fair, is was a half-decent action game that could be played co-op and had lots of content. If it had been made by a different company and been named something other than Resident Evil, if wouldn't have been hated the way it was and would have ended up being remembered as an ok game.

Also, it came out quite a while ago now and it's been on sale incredibly cheap many times on Steam.

[gangsta_red]

Just goes to show you how reviews got this game all wrong and that gamers speak with their wallets!

[PiNkFaIrYbOi]

Or they bought it when they were drunk.

[pietro1212]

How? That game was trash

[Varodor]

Resident Evil 6 is good game but not good RE game.

[KeenBean345]

It's a good game just not a good resident evil game

[Nacho_Z]

Fair play to Capcom for taking the series back to its roots with Resi 7 and not making another all action bit of fluff. There must have been pressure on them to do just that given the sales of 6.

[-Foxtrot]

I think they took it back to its roots more with the RE2 Remake

[Nacho_Z]

Probably aye but you know what I mean, it was a lot closer than an even more OTT version of 7 would have been.

[Nacho_Z]

OTT version of 6 rather.

[CatCouch]

I didn't like RE6 all that much when it came out but I replayed it on PS4 and ended up loving it. Weird how that works~

[TheGamez100]

Such great potential this game couldve been...

[neomahi]

And they said exclusives don't sell consoles. If the developers confident enough and makes a quality game, they sure can. Developers can help console manufacturers by in fact taking a side, exclusives sell, Naughty Dog aren't complaining. Apparently neither is Sony Bend Studio as Japan are eating up a zombie game developed by a Western developer, Ooooooooooooo!

[lucian229]

I actually really Enjoyed it except Leon's last chapter. Hated Chris's whole story too. Honestly just like re5 because core combat was fun, and I get to play with wife.

I wish they made a resident evil mercenaries mode with this gameplay but with all characters and major locations in the series.

Yeah what they had for ds.... But not on ds 🙄

[franwex]

I have yet to play it.
Not because I promised myself i wouldn’t, I really REALLY enjoyed resident evil 5. I put like 150 hours into it (yeah, I know-wtf?!)

I just never got around to it. Maybe some day.

[ScreamKween]

It's actually a good game it's just not horror. It's not broken by any means. It's just not what old school RE horror fans wanted. But apparently millions of gamers outweighed the old school RE fans. I'm a die hard Resident Evil fan but you have to admit although the reboot of part 2 and Resident Evil 7 were a return to form, they didn't sell anywhere near as much as part 5 and 6. So there u go.

[strayanalog]

Well you do have to buy them to burn them.

[Atomicjuicer]

Resident Evil 2 remake. Please buy it people! It’s so good

[Exvalos]

I'm a simple man I see Resident Evil I buy it.

[Cmoney007]

Resident Evil 6 - Good combat
The game is a QTE mess and has puzzles that you can’t even do together with other people. It is a game that can cause heavy drinking.
