Is Resident Evil 6 Really That Bad? No, It's Worse.

- Resident Evil 6 is a notorious entry in the RE franchise. I have tried it once before but never finished it. Today is the first time I have ever completed the entire game. I went in looking to be optimistic and give the game a chance, but…that didn’t last long. Here is my explanation on why Resident Evil 6 sucks and is the worst game in the series.

Here's a funny thing added to the Steam version of RE6. Characters from the Left 4 Dead games were added to the mercenaries mode.
They definitely had them in the Xbox 360 mode too
@@ChronicSynchronizer Yes! They were also on the 360, I used to play RE6 on Xbox 360 till I moved to PC.
The Mercenaries mode in 6 is good and the soundtrack is an absolute banger.
I played the hell out of those characters. Mercenaries mode shows that Resident Evil 6 has immaculate gameplay mechanics. The campaigns though have sooo many problems.
@@Desmond-Dark I agree, the mercenaries mode in RE6 is incredibly fun, especially if you can get a buddy in on it. This might be a hot take, but personally I think it's one of the better the mercenaries modes
RE6 biggest mistake is not making a secret 5th campaing where all the protagonists join forces to fight against a massive monster as a true final boss
or even better, you have to beat all 4 campaigns on professional. would have been cool (not really a good thing but still)
Like sonic adventure
the biggest mistake is the game is trash all the way around
my favorite part of re6 was when leon collected all seven chaos emeralds and turned into super leon
Even if this game is not even close to be perfect i had a lot of fun playing RE6,i've made many friends online playing RE5 and 6.
I still play RE6 Mercenaries. Best in the franchise.
I like RE6. Also 2,4,5 revalations. I don’t see why people hate on this game.
@@loka-chan6695It's because it didn't really feel like a resident evil game anymore or smth. There were a lot of people (not including me) who wanted survival horror back.
@@airtiger4577 but isn’t it still survival horror? It’s still like RE 0 and the old 4. Maybe a little easier but still. Just turn up the hardness. For me 7 and 8 don’t feel like RE. More like outlast or whatever.
@loka-chan6695 You can't really call it survival because ammo conservation isn't really a thing, and you can just pump lead into anything that moves
Hopefully one day they'll make a Resident Evil game with Leon, Chris, Jill, and Claire all in one game.
I’m very hopeful for that after watching the latest animated film.
@@chriscannon8144I really don’t like RE 3 Jill tho. And that’s the one we get in the movie. If we think of the same movie that is.
We're on our way to RE9 and there still isn't and likely never will be
@@loka-chan6695 You're in the minority on that opinion. Her and Carlos are the best things to come out of that game..
Re9 leaks say the first 3 will be
21:05 Ada's story WAS exactly that, or at least an attempt, because it was originally unlockable after beating the other 3 campaigns
Honestly i do see why they made adas campaign unlocked from the get go, think about it, you played through Leon and Chris's campaign then you went through jakes replaying a ton of set pieces and after that you're rewarded with even more replayed set pieces. yes Ada's campaign was originally meant to be the concluding chapterof the game and for a while after release was the only campaign that wasnt co-op until capcom added agent as a co-op only partner.
honestly i can agree with J on the game reusing set pieces where your brain goes on autopilot during the last campaign. I will say that i did like the combat in this as it felt the most free flowing form of combat in the series thats not just pulling a trigger
It was DLC if I remember correctly
@@Valdivia9494no it wasn't. Unlocked ingame by beating the other campaigns.
The one bright spot I'll give this title is how experimental Capcom had gotten with multiplayer components. This game's multiplayer is like a weird combination of Outbreak, Left 4 Dead & RE5. I loved how you could invade others game, THAT added a much needed horror element to an otherwise laughably non-horror title. Also, special shout out to the converging stories, with brief moments of 4 player co-op. I hope more games do this in the future.
agreed. i actually really liked the concept of 6, i just felt like the execution was lacking. if they do remake it, i hope they overhaul the gameplay and keep the cool overlapping campaigns.
I was surprised to actually get randoms in the 4 player sections it was a really neat idea that they did but only worked when the game came out sadly
@@moopmoop1040They must keep the diving, as funny as it was. It was so goddamn useful
"Enemy variety is pretty lacking in RE6" ????????? What
RE6 has so many enemy varieties out of all the RE games and it’s just a fact can’t deny it.
The enemy variety in this one game is probably the reason we'll never get an all inclusive Mercenaries title.
You and Gman both posting RE6 videos in the same day is funny to me
I noticed lol
I just saw that too lol
Same here. Funny as hell.
Same hour even
I can’t even tell if it’s intentional or not cause the RE5 review came out like, half a week after Gman’s??
I just played through RE6 with a friend a week back, and, honestly, it was a blast... Well, save for Ada campaign, which we gave up on because playing as the Agent is Not fun. We went into it knowing it wasn't going to be anything groundbreaking, but we were pleasantly surprised by the gameplay being genuinely fun and enjoying some of the story beats and character dynamics (especially Jake and Sherry). At first, we were just goofing around, but there were definitely moments that made us shut up and get completely invested, like the first time we saw the Chris and Jake confrontation or the end of Chris' campaign.
It's really fun if you don't take it seriously and see it as a huge teaching moment for Capcom. I honestly think without RE6, they wouldn't be in the place they are today, and while I think the hate at the time was understandable for putting RE in such a weird place that was following trends of the era rather than making them, as they did in the past and present, in retrospect I do think it's a really decent co-op game that has its flaws, but isn't the greatest sin imaginable. Not even the greatest sin from Capcom, looking at Marvel vs Capcom Infinite.
You definitely have to laugh at the jank, but it's absolutely not built for solo play (at least, not the first three routes). It's probably a 3/10 solo, but I'd put it 7-8/10 as co-op. It's probably partly low standards, as co-op tends to not have many good options on console, but it was still so fun.
Don't get me wrong, I've played almost every mainline game (save for OG1 and Village, which I'm going to get to both very soon!), and it's definitely the weakest in that regard, but it's surrounded by masterpieces.
I played Resident Evil 6 in its native generation. I have to give the solo campaign a B- and the Mercenaries an A. I only got to play multiplayer with my brother through couch co-op. I would say it adds something to the game playing with another person. I am just not sure what to rate it as. Definitely not a full rank added. There was a time I used to say Resident Evil 2 was the worst of the numbered entries. At that time the series was up to 6. I would backpedal or just end the conversation. The original Resident Evil 2 holds up differently, depending on what tier list I use. I have two separate metrics. Under metric #1 it does poorly only beating non-numbered titles. Under metric #2 it is a solid B+. I just decided to play Resident Evil 6 today for the first time in several years. Multiplayer was surprisingly easy to find a game. Though, people only stuck around for roughly 2 levels. Mercenaries were completely dead trying to find a match. Which is a shame, because in my opinion it is the best Mercenaries out of 4, 5, and 6. I would say the best Fortnite side game is better than today's experience with the game. Hopefully playing tomorrow will be more fun than today.
That's because the game is amazing, people are just stupid sheeps and say what make them cool online
@@vastolorde98 Kid, just stop. You are being a toxic sheep right now. I got Resident Evil 6 when it was new paying $54 for it. So I know what you are saying is just one of the talking points (sheep) comments which is common when talking about this game.
The ADA campaign was awesome
@@vastolorde98 Facts. Certain types of people WANT to hate things. Especially if hating something becomes a common sentiment. People were just mad at the time of release because 5 and 6 weren't RE4.5. For me, 5 and 6 were both awesome on launch and still hold up today.
Bros saying RE6 does offer too much ammo literally two hrs ago I watched a critic whio said ammo is lacking in RE6
People are just saying stuff to keep up with the trend that is hating on RE6
Oh as I person who was playing RE6 just today I can 100% vouch for the excessive ammo problem. Even in the hardest game modes the fact that the enemy’s drop ammo combined with the efficiency of melee combat and the constant hordes make ammo incredibly easy to farm.
Even when you arnt trying to farm it the sheer amount of enemies your killing mean that if you don’t use your ammo fast enough it will begin to clog your inventory, especially since the game gives you limited inventory space.
I can however see how ammo might be an issue for someone not used to the survival horror genre, a person who solves every problem with their gun as the first option, for these people ammo might not spawn fast enough to keep up with this consumption leading to an issue of not enough ammo.
For those that are used to survival horror and instinctively conserve their ammo through either melee combat or conservative aiming the amount of ammo is too high.
So it’s essentially the worst of both worlds
RE6 is great
At the time all my friends were shitting all over RE:5 as the worst in the series. RE:6 dropped and suddenly it was like RE:5 cured cancer, killed Bin Laden and balanced the budget.
For me RE6 should have been about Jake and Sherry with the other characters as supporting characters in the story.
@maskednil Just make it all Leon's campaign with the other cast in the area.
The only thing i trully hated from that game, was Helena.
That character was honestly annoying to me, saying shit like, "No! I'll explain you later!"
Her flashback was something i didn't cared about, unlike Manuela and her mutated mother, and other great characters from the RE franchise.
I'm also not a fan of the crossbow of Ada, but it's just alright.
The adult mods are incredible if you play on PC though. I still fire it up just to play the Ada or Helena campaign from time to time.
@@oonmm playing as Ada is great, her campaign is alright thought.
I completely it like 2. Months ago
Simmons was far worse, IMO. His simping for Ada, and his transformations were all trash
@@Hillthugsta oh yes, i agree!
His motives were shit.. like i remember facepalming when i heard what it was about,
And Carla, like the idiot she was, accepted "to become Ada"..
Losing her mind, in the most baffling way.
I have never known a more devisive game than RE6 (or at least one that I've played). For almost everyone it falls into one of two camps: either so bad that they couldn't makit it through more than 1 campaign (usually Leon:s) and those that do force themselves to do so and they hate it... or those that absolutely love the game and still play it occasionally to this day. I fall in the latter camp, I love to play the game. I feel its peak Resident Evil when it comes to cheesy-ness and over-the-top nature of the general stories. I love the co-op, it has in my opinion and many of those i talk to one of the best shooter gameplay mechanics, and i love there story and all the monster varieties. I also feel its one of the worst when it comes to RE-staples like survival horror tropes (as it really isn't a survival horror game anymore, just action with horror elements/inspirations)
Its also why i feel conflicted about the following game, RE7. Cause for RE7, CApcom decided to make the exact opposite of RE6, but in doing so i feel like they made a fantastic survival horror game but not a good Resident Evil game as RE7 left out many things that Resident Evil is. I feel like Resident Evil at its best is a combination of cheesy/charmy story/dialogue combined with survival horror elements (such as inventory management, limited ammo and healing), diverse enemy variety, charismatic/lovable/iconic characters, and a few other elements (like music, atmosphere, a blend of action and horror, etc)
RE6 was half of these, RE7 was the other half, and I feel like RE4 remake was the only RE game since that held the perfect blend of all these elements.
Edit: I also feel like people's opinion on RE6 can sometimes depend on your mindset going into the game and whether or not your playing it co-op with someone who likes/dislikes the game (also there's so much you can do wit the controls, but also so much the game doesn't tell you you can do so almost everybody I've seen play RE6 never uses the controls to anywhere near their full potential, making the game much more annoying and harder on themselves)
I 100% agree with you, and I'm a lover of RE6 myself. I think Resident Evil is about fighting bioweapons first and foremost, and that can be done with horror or action. Yeah from what I've seen of RE7 I'm disappointed that it seems so "western" if that makes sense. I say that because my favorite thing about RE is how fun, outlandish, and goofy the characters and story are while still being charming. Like when the franchise was still written by Japanese writers I thought it was amazing, hence my love for RE6. I've got a video over my admiration for RE6 if you want to check it out.
I platinum RE6 twice. I like it for what it is. But with that said I still had more fun with the other installments. RE7 feels out of place and I haven't even played RE 8 yet. I feel the games are becoming the movies. Capcom don't seem to have a clear roadmap or direction they want to take the series.
Maybe that's why they are doing Remakes? I don't know.
I liked it but not that much. I'll tell you Leon's campaign is the worst and I feel most every play his campaign first.
I'm definitely one of those "forced themselves to finish it but hated it the whole time" people.
It felt completely wrong from the beginning, but it's not like there have never been games I didn't like at first but warmed up to. Plus, as a fan of the series from the very beginning, and a completionist in general, it felt wrong to not play a mainline installment to the end. So in order to judge it fairly, I forced myself to play the whole thing and never warmed up to it in the least.
I will agree with this whole heartedly, coop was what made the cheesy over the top, kill simmons 9 times while the city still has places left to explode, nature of the game was fun and engaging. I imagine its a bloody slog solo and has no terror appeal at all.
21:10 Ada story was the last story you unlocked it in the orginal release but doesn't really feel like a conclusion which is its problem
It's more so supposed to be like separate ways from re4. You see the other side of events you might not have known about and how ada was helping out in the background
It's format was identical to the other three campaigns.@@Chaso-1124
Both you and Gmanlives released an RE6 video at the same hour. What a coincidence
They also did that for re5 , maybe a collaboration
@@RTXWorld-m2h One of them shills for games when they get paid enough. I won't tell which one tho
I think it's suspicious
I totally get why this game is so hated, and a lot of the criticisms are earned, but I personally have put so many hours into this game, and it does have a very passionate but niche following.
This is not a brag, but anecdotally, I went to PAX in 2019 and they had a booth at the Capcom side that had the new switch ports of RE 5&6 (weirdly not 4, though that was included in the release) There were some people, including myself that got in line to play the demo for 5, which as memory serves was that iconic tense defense of the town square from the opening segments, but no one was playing 6.
I was waiting for my friends so we could check out MH Iceborne, but I had time to kill, so I went to RE6. There was no line. It was the second level of Chris's campaign. I played the snot out of that, over and over over all three days of the convention, because people were watching me. The Capcom reps at the booth were talking to me. I played as either character. I speedran it. Played it on No Hope. Played it knife/melee only. People were enthused and asked to co-op with me. This game has such stylish action, and I showed people who'd previously wrote the game off all the cool tech this game has. I feel like I single handedly swayed some groups into playing this game and perhaps purchasing it that weekend.
I really admire what you do J, and I respect all your opinions, negative and positive, because they're very well thought out. And perhaps I wrote this, though not many will read it because I love this franchise and am dedicated to every era of it, including this one. I dabble in writing and analysis. During 2020, I wrote a several page breakdown on why this game is great, but I never had the courage to share it or do what you do. But maybe, just maybe venting this will bring me some peace.😅
Either way, great content as always. Thank you very much.
I still occasionally go back to RE6. Mainly the extra modes and only ever on coop. The game has a ton of depth. The main problem is the game does not teach the player 70% of their options. Capcom created something incredible with 6 in terms of gameplay. ...Only again, they didn't try teaching players their options. Like at 4:41 when you got hit, you could've held L2 and rolled to the left or right. And, in some cases similar to like a fighting game, you have the ability to tech roll to get up immediately or roll to the side upon landing.
There's so many options in mobility and so many tricks in combat you can do that characters like Leon, Ada and Jill have always been shown to be very capable of in cutscenes. Personally, I prefer 6's controls because its accurate to who we're playing as. In RE5 when you want to dodge a slow charging attack from an enemy, Chris has to awkwardly run at angle or rely on a QTE. RE6 made it actually feel like you're playing as Leon/Chris. Now, if these were rookies, I'd agree all the mobility/combat options are silly. But, can't when we've constantly seen Leon and Jill leaping out of harms way with ease.
Of course knowing all the controls don't erase the late game action set pieces that are a pain to replay (the vehicles). I definitely agree with you there. I liked the comparison you made to how Uncharted handled it's pacing. I do think RE5 and RE4R still feel good to play, but going back not a fan of those moments where I know I shouldn't have gotten hit or died because they made the character stiff on purpose (or made dodging be a QTE popup). Honestly, I think it'd be a good idea if Capcom gave players the option to limit their control if the player wants to. So if you want to be able to dodge and have more dynamic mobility like you're really playing as an "experienced" Leon, you can. Or if you'd really like to, you can turn off manual dodging and use QTEs (RE5/RE4R).
Can you play ”not co’op” on RE 6? Often for me I get paired with a random player.
I tried playing this recently with my cousin after we had a great time with the flawed RE5. We barely made it to the gun store "defend the room" sequence at the beginning of Leons Campaign before quitting. The shooting felt so much less satisfying than RE5 and the whole thing felt weightless.
I’m the opposite, I had a bunch of fun playing through RE6 with my little brother but we barely played RE5 before putting it down
@@linkaj12same, in the beginning of RE 5 I & my little brother were dying constantly
my niece and i are different, we are so focus to having fun with the game that we both love re5 and 6 cuz couch coop is fun for us. we dont really care for re when it comes to story, it's always for the gameplay. but not gonna lie, that scene wuth redfield and pierce plus ending makes me tear up a bit. over all its just a fun game, and whan were not playing resident evil, we play monster hunter
get meds for your adhd
How is 5 flawed?
I felt exactly the same way. Got overfed with repetitive, pointless never ending action, shootings and chase sequences with dumb QTE halfway through Jake’s campaign. Finishing Ada’s felt straight painful
I think the real difficulty curve comes from playing No Hope mode. Me and my RE friend play No Hope mode pretty often, and it definitely makes you manage your resources. I also think the replay ability is also pretty good once you collect all the weapons in all the campaigns, but like you said replay ability is all up to the player. I do agree the game isn't amazing, but I think playing with a friend improves the overall enjoyment. I personally think these things is what makes RE 6 enjoyable.
It is made to play with another person. Often when I don’t play with a friend a random person comes in so I don’t play with CPU/AI😂
The fact that you need to buy this mode is wild
I got the platinum to Re6 by the time it came out (wich requires you to pllay on the professional difficulty, the hardest give it by free) and it was one of the easiest Re games I ever finished
The fact that I need to buy some dlc to actually make a Re game harder for me is absolutely dog sht
I think RE6 is a decent game. It's extremely fun with coop and roleplaying with each other. Not only that, but some things that happen in the gameplay is extremely funny; Like seeing your friend get run over by the ambulance because they didnt see it, having an interesting conversation during some moments between Jake and Sherry, getting the big Ustanak guy to catch your partner while you hide in the trash bins, suddenly seeing them fall off their bike in the snow, blatantly crashing into an approaching train, running up stairs only for your screen to suddenly show Chris falling off a bridge because they couldnt dodge all the barrels LOL RE6 is fun. Real fun.
I never woulda thought people would rp inside a resident evil game
I used to spend hours upon hours doing nothing but mercernaries mode, jumping backwards, rolling, learning how to dodge every enemy and mostly using Melee only to deal with the enemies. I found it to be very fun
A couple of years ago me and my best friend decided to play the Leon campaign and it was definitely quite funny, the difference of me never getting hit because of the muscle memory I've built up, and my friend who never played RE6 before and kept dying. Our entire playthrough I never healed myself, because every single herb tablet I got went straight to saving my friend
A recent playthrough of Helldivers 2 really reminded me of RE6's movement system. Surprisingly similar.
@@bcashworld7971 really? I keep getting recommendations for that game, but that's definitely a selling point for me.
Yea there's definitely a learning curb to it that's rough on new players
I know everyone hates on the game, but to me it is by far the best game in the series. It was one of the last games me and my late uncle played before he passed. It was my gate way into resident evil, and I will always be grateful for this game, I miss you always Uncle JR!!!
I disagree on liking Resident Evil 6 but I’m glad you have fond memories of it with your uncle. We all have that one game we know is bad but love it anyway for whatever reason.
For me personally it's sonic 06
So do you like the game because of the game itself or memories that you’ve attached itself to
I wouldn’t go as far to say it’s the best in the series but honestly I enjoyed the RE6 play through far more than the RE5 play through. The interactions amongst the characters made me want to continue the story while RE5 I was just going through the motions of beating the game until wesker shown up. They should’ve just made the entire game like the DLC which was extremely fun
@@zaneheaston8254 the game was ok, but I will always hold it in a very high regard even with it's faults
I honestly think that the core of this game is really good, with some of the deepest third person shooting mechanics out there.
The problem is that the campaigns not only do not play to this strength, they also fail to really teach the players how to best take advantage of them. It’s so focused on trying to cram everything it can that it overshadows what would otherwise be a really good shooter.
Something I desire if they were to remake it someday. Get rid of the 4 Campaigns and just give 3 good long ones.
Merge the Leon and Ada Campaign and bring them together again as they were in Re2make. Make the Chris Campaign less into a purely action based shooter and focus more on defeating BOWs Creatively. Wasn't a fan of a certain section where you needed to kill multiple giant monsters in an open area outside.
Make the Jake and Sherry Campaign into what bridges both the other campaigns together. Gives us some Leon - Sherry & Chris - Jake action in some way. leading to the Leon - Chris stand off, Final bosses & game ending. Oh and get rid of the QTEs. They're not needed.
ive beaten this game countless times. i dont see the big deal on why its hated so bad. to point out: i have every majore resident evil game out there so i understand the argument on how its too action packed i just didnt care and still had a lot of fun playing it
side note barely 2 minutes and he's bitched about sonic frontiers twice.
Thanks a lot for the review man! Been here since the Megaman X video series. And when I saw you never played an RE I knew you would get hooked instantly!
Looking forward for the RE7 and 8 reviews, hopefully you played the dlcs of those too as I thought they were very interesting. Specially the RE7 dlcs😁
Wasn't there an FOV option or even camera closeness option in the game?
I haven't played in like 6+ years so I may be wrong but I remember there being some.
I think there is in the PC version, but idk about the rest.
@@zeroblue2779 I'm sure I had the option on the ps3 in the secondary menu, the one that looked like a phone interface
RE6, specially Mercenaries, is one of my favorite co-op games of all the time. The movement options and combat loop are extremely engaging.
I've never seen anyone with camera trouble unfortunate it happened with you. Now I do agree the repeated sections can suck however I do think that sherry campaign suffers if u do Chris first a lot of people orginally did his last. Ada campaign was a unlockable in the orginal game which makes it feel longer in prior releases it feels less like a bonus campaign to oh more stuff to do now
Hey J, are you ready for Resident Evil: Umbrella Corps?
The true story of RE2 will always be Claire A, Leon B. Anything else is in a different timeline/universe
No
8:32. My buddy couldn't get used to the aiming and kept dumping rounds into walls. During one boss fight, he blew through all his ammo and everything he picked up, so we were stuck😑
If I had a nickel for every Capcom franchise that had a sour 6th entry, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.
What's the other one?
@@paulbell3682 Mega Man X
I feel like I’m one of the few people to genuinely enjoy it it’s not my favorite or the best I just thoroughly enjoy it
You can go to the options menu (doesn't work in-gameplay) and increase the FOV.
filtered
18:12 I don’t know if that was on purpose, but that transition was BEYOND smooth
This game is fantastic. Fuck the haters!😂🤟🏻💯
do I need to say also that, A GAME BEING ACTION PACKED IS NOT A BAD THING?
answer no, its not a bad game, actually one of the best re games of all time, along with re5, re4r and re1r
12:18-12:37
The worst part is that from the outides looking in, this sounds like cliff notes, but the game is actually this all over the place and rediculous ly over the top where even this series can’t do it and not look stupid.
I managed the Leon campaign solo and got really burnt half way through Chris out about a year ago. It's just too much. What really sucks is that I think there was real potential here, but the fumbled it.
Only went through it last year, i thought "despite a ton of the negativity surrounding it i still had a lot of fun with RE5, maybe i should at least give it a try?"
And yeah, its god awful lol. At first i was thinking it was an ok action game, maybe if it wasn't re6 it wouldn't get the hate but then it just dragged and dragged and dragged on
Went through RE7 for the first time straight after it, and talk about a nice pallet cleanser lol
You can change the camera in the settings to be a lot more zoomed out. Just turn everything up to 15 and you’re good.
Honestly I think that if they wanted to remake 6 I feel they need more to double down on the implications that each character is supposed to feel different.
Make Leon feel and behave more like RE2r. Have puzzles and make it atmospheric.
Make Chris more like his RE8 style. More action based. Heavy focus on gunplay.
Make Jake BE the Wesker game that some of us wanted. Make him have the speed and strength with less focus on gunplay. Make sherry have a minor healing factor (Something within reason) to make it feel like the characters have super human abilities in gameplay. Then make the not Nemesis BE so much more intimidating to compensate for that.
Make Ada's story be more about her stealth espionage gameplay... They already gave us a few bits. Why not make those the focus.
They could still do the crossover stuff and have those be a middle ground between the 2 styles of game.
This is what I feel like I was promised with RE6 stating 4 different campaigns.
it was my first Re and i enjoyed it idk
I got re4 from my cousin. It took me almost 1 year to finish re4 og. I truly loved that game and i finished it fully too, gaining also sort of weapons. I really really loved that game. I wasn't familiar with yt at that time or thought that gameplays can be found. But one day i found re4 characters in a video. I was excited and tapped on that video,that was re6. From then i went to the nearby shop and found re6 coincidentally at 2018. I really loved playing it. I again loved playing it after seeing radical dreamer playing it. The only turnoff for me that it felt short. I hope it was much bigger. But still, as a player who doesn't buy & play 50 games in a year, this game felt very rare. I understood life in a way🙂👍
I loved every character too. I wonder when they will return. I don't understand why don't they return? And why re revelations 1 and 2 gets underrated or avoided as well? The revelations series was more horror element filled where you have to struggle to even survive.Regret
Eh I still like the combat system even though they embrace Michael bae elements
Re6 is nowhere near a bad game, although i think its the worst mainline game, id still give it a solid 7 or 8 out of 10...
Edit: my bad i think re3 remake and re0 are worse
What makes this game so unpleasant to play for me is that shooting enemies (what you do for 95% of the game) does not feel satisfying at all. The weapons have zero punch (unlike 4 and 5) and enemies are like sponges. 20 hours shooting rubber bullets on goofy-looking sponge enemies, that’s RE6 for ya
I played through the entire game with my brother, so it remains one of my favorite RE experiences. We could pass each other ammo and health and there was friendly fire, which I always love. I think it should have been marketed as a co-op experience instead. I probably wouldn't play it solo except for Mercenaries mode.
The game itself wasn't like RE2R scary, but it had that same overwhelming feeling that RE4R gives. I loved the action setpieces, honestly. And I felt like there was decent enemy variety because of the special enemies. And the characters crossing paths almost always had each team doing those parts in different ways or other parts of the same areas. They all felt distinct. Leon's campaign is the slower one, Chris's is the military shooter one, Sherry's mixed both and had Ustanak. 16:40 looks like they succeeded actually. The controls may be the same across the teams, but the presentation and tone still works. I liked the whole thing. But then I did play back in 2012 when I was 19.
The big action setpieces were done really well to me. *Especially* the Simmons climax. I mean, fighting a guy who turns into a lion, a T-Rex, and a giant insect? Pure awesomeness.
I'm sorry you didn't like it. After watching the whole thing, I still can't quite grasp how it was boring to you. Like... How does it blur together? The chainsaw BoW on the boat is nothing like the invisible snake or the Carla face, and Ustanak felt like an unstoppable force. The new regenerators were always tense too. Maybe the difference is that I played in co-op so the situations would feel more dynamic and engaging.
I have good memories with this game. I did usually play with a buddy which makes it better.
Also, about the repeat scenarios with the different campaigns: the game had an online feature where you could “run into” other players if you started those chapters around the same time (you had the option to wait longer for other players before starting a possible 4-player co-op scene. So example is if you and your couch co-op buddy were playing as Leon and Helena and you reached Diet Nemesis, there was a chance you’d play with two other players couch-cop-ing as Sherry and Jake during their campaign. Cool idea but hardly happened.
They tried to do something way too big for this game, with an insane budget and creating 4 okay campaigns instead of focusing on a great one.
What would be like if this game was focused in a single campaign where in each chapter you play as a different character, like in RE Revelations 1?
absolutely not 4 stories are better, you can choose which to play depending on mood, one campaign would create another bland RE, this is something new, thank god for it
@residentevildosage so good that capcom needed to save re with re7
@@lostsektor they couldve ended it there, but i like re8 so im not mad, they "needed" to "save" it only bc of the constant whiners complaining about not enough horror, just accept that there is always gonna be action in resident evil, re1 has action too, RE is so broad with horror and action blend that its basically series for everyone
Personally I prefer RE 5 and 6 over Revelations.
I've played multiple chapters and it just didn't catch me like the other titles I've played. (RE2R, RE3R, RE4R, RE 5, RE 6, RE 7, and RE8.
Resident Evil 6 is the culmination of what new fans wanted. This was very clear after the release of 4 and 5. Then they all shit on it when it was too far outside the scope of the original trilogy. It managed to weave together a story of global proportions that tied of all the loose ends into a nice bow, while managing to incorporate horror, action, and stealth. This says nothing of having one of the most rock solid third person shooter mechanics ever conceived. In simple terms of gameplay it is one of the most satisfying experiences I have ever had. The sgip for survival horror sailed long ago leaving Capcom on shore. One step forward to the return with RE2 remake but twenty back with 3 and 4 remake. The success of RE4 is once again setting them down this path.
Tldr; gatekeep what you love because the specter of the modern audience will destroy it.
@@Wr41thgu4rd Yet you still enjoyed RE6
I liked 6 just fine. I liked it more than 5. For some reason 5 does not have any memories of happiness or excitement for me. But I still clearly remember certain parts of 6. I liked the diversity of 6 for sure. I don't recall boring parts. For instance I feel like part 8 definitely has boring parts and it makes me not want to play it again but I feel like I would love to play 6 again. I also don't feel like playing 5 again simply because of the military theme as I remember it. I still haven't even played the 4 remake. I wish people would stop complaining about 6 actually. They nee to remake code veronica by far the most just because it had tech issues and certain story pacing issues.
Sometimes I feel like I'm the only guy who genuinely likes RE6. For the wrong reasons, considering its' genre, but still
I replayed RE6 a few months ago as Helena (because I played as Leon, Chris & Sherry when the game 1st came out), I hated it. The story, the characters, the controls, everything. All of it was horrible made even worse by the fact during the QTEs that Leon does, as Helena, you just sit there & wait or you carry your sister as AI Leon shoots the enemies. & the aiming retical moving on it's pissed me off beyond belief. The bosses were also massive bullet sponges that I dread thinking how they must have been on hard.
I still don't consider this a bad game. It has redeeming qualities, a truly bad game has none and isn't fun at all.
I'm sure you have something to say about the story and other aspects of the game but I count pass the gameplay chapter 'cause of the massive skill issue displayed invalidating all of your arguments.
I have to honestly say that I actually like Resident Evil 6. For me it has the best movement and fight system. Of course, the horror factor is only slightly there, but you can ignore that. I have to say the story about Helena and Simmons was okay, but the story about Jake Muller and Sherry Birkin was really good or the story from ada and carla was the name holy shit that was good.In general, Re 6 has a good story, but it wasn't implemented that well, but overall it's the only one story that didn't fit in my opinion was the chris campaign that was really just hell but otherwise I would say re 6 is a solid re game and for 2012 the game looks 👌 😊
Is there any chance that you going to review Revelations 1 and 2?
Gets too much hate idgaf its fun especially in co-op
It’s really not that bad. Especially if you have a friend to play with. It’s obviously not as good as the previous ones but I do think it’s over hated.
That's all re6 has is the coop otherwise its just feels like a cod clone to me when i first played when it came out. I think the hate is deserved because they were trying to cater to many type of gamers and its obvious. But I hardly think about this game but i will play it if they ever get to remaking it
It is overhated but I'm glad Capcom despite how well it sold decided to listen to the criticisms and go back to Survival Horror. I honestly enjoyed it as a shooter alot more than other actual notable shooter series like Uncharted, Gears and every CoD. I feel like the gameplay has alot more going on than just shooting, the melee moves are fun, the quick fire is fun and the directional dodging is fun to do while shooting.
@ChrisMS0815 i just remember the fame having a qte way to often fighting an enemy was not a fan at all of this one. I dont agree is it overhated but i don't go out of my way to think about this game. Got 4 & 5 that are much better games
@@Ajeez1000 RE4 and RE5 are definitely still better, I really dislike the upgrade system in RE6. Upgrading every weapon each with their own special upgrade was great in RE4 and RD5 and should have been kept over equipping three skills at a time and not being able to upgrade weapons. Both RE4 and RE5 have lots of QTES so I didn't see the problem when I played RE6.
@ChrisMS0815 during normal gameplay re6 QTEs seemed forced while re4 &5 were optional. But it's been like over ten years since i played 6
RE6 is not as hated as you may think. Hell, all the controversy and shit just gets it a 70% on average from user votes.
I've played the game, and even though there are a couple of flaws, I still quite enjoyed it. Besides, Leon and Ada's campaigns are the closest to that Resident Evil atmosphere as you can get.
It's OK to love a game despite its flaws. There are plenty of games I love that have major problems to them (such as Final Fight Streetwise, yes I am guilty as charged for loving it). Hell, a lot of games people love have problems to them. For example, Starcraft was loaded with dozens of glitches that caused the game to freeze (try having an SCV repair a unit that’s going into a dropship). Also, Soul Calibur 4 doesn't count sword slashes that go through heads as a hit.
Part of being a gamer is realising that you can enjoy games based on their merits alone, and that just because a game didn't live up to the hype doesn't mean it's not fun.
Besides, if the Resident Evil franchise did nothing but carry on sticking to the old Alone in the Dark-esque gameplay engine with no improvements instead of switching over to the over-the-shoulder third-person shooter formula, Capcom would've been slagged off for not moving on anyway.
You know, you just can't win them all every time, and I get the feeling that gamers have high standards, sometimes *WAY TOO HIGH* for their favourite franchises to meet.
Just saying.
My friend and I played through Chris’ campaign on No Hope Difficulty, Never Again
I Don't care what anyone says this game is fun as hell to play and is not boring at all. However I can't deny the story is everywhere and over the top as hell a lot of the times making the narrative shitty, but does that make it boring? nah just a fun mess lol
Comment before watching it: I don't mind that they made RE more into an action series because story-wise, escalating the conflict from "Top secret virus in a mansion" to "It's now out there and used as a bio weapon" made perfect sense. But the problem is that RE6 is not even a _good_ action game, and the weird split into different characters just hurt the narrative flow as well. RE5 was legitimately great (and seems to finally get the praise it deserves), RE6 was legitimately terrible even as a standalone action game. But at least the Oral Giraffe of a logo was funny.
It makes me sad and happy that people's opinions on RE6 has vastly changed over the years and I respect valid criticisms about it as it is a deeply flawed game but people who hates each and every aspect of it just makes me sad. I adore this game so much and I hope haters of the game can still find some good in it. Have a great weekend! 👊🏻💜
RE6 sold well over 11 million copies in the years since, so there are many who also treasure the game dearly no matter how loud mouth those who like to criticize it are. Even so, the RE series was very much at a low point before RE7 (no thanks to RE6), Capcom between 2012 and 2017 as a whole was struggling financially, and not many were hyped for Revelations 1 or 2. The HD remasters for RE4 (2014), RE0 & RE1 Remake (2015) generated some much needed fanfare returning, but it was RE7 that brought the main tsunami fanfare back, with RE2 Remake (and beyond) just doubling on it further.
and i hope for the reverse
that RE6 fake fanboys wake the fuck up and see the game for trash it in reality is
we can talk about bad things for hours but can you point out one thing you liked?
"i liked it" is not an argument it just proves your lack of taste
@@mr.sinjin-smyth skyrim sold 60 million copies and everyone who played it agrees that the game is garbage and needs mods to be playable
no matter how much you want to lie about reality and gaslight yourself into thinking that RE 6 is good it never will be
@@ryszakowy RE6 was never a good Resident Evil or game in general. It's easily one of the worst games I've ever played, though I'd place it just marginally better than Alone in the Dark 2008, Silent Hill Homecoming or Splinter Cell Double Agent. Even so, you can't deny there are still many of who like the game(s) for what it is (or they are). One man's trash is another man's gold.
Maybe things will be different this time once i get to this game since now im actually a fan of the series (playing through the whole series now) and not just playing a co-op game with my (ex)girlfriend but i liked RE6 when i played it
RE6 wasn’t very good but it was fun with friends. I don’t regret buying it and had fun with them.
Isn’t RE 5 camera closer to the character? Or are we playing on diffrent things? I play on steam/PC. Can’t say much about RE 4 cos I have that on Wii and I don’t think it really works that well compared to other consoles. I played Revalations on Xbox (I am bad at controllers😅) I liked it and learned to be a little better at controllers.
All of these games are very diffrent. I like them all for their own things. Sometimes I got pissed at RE 4 space things do that made me like RE 6 ones. I like them all.
Well I thought there was over enough health in the game , lots of herbs to mix in second menu , finished all campaigns on all difficulties and thought it is a awesome action horror , I get the backlash on the game cause many were expected a survival horror but at that time capcom was focus on action so they blew up the action from Res 5 , I think it's a good action horror game but for survival horror itself, no
dude as a very lucid fan say ''why people think a semi-supernatural outlast like horror game with just 5 kind of monsters the entire game and 4 of they are persecutors very similar between they mecanically and with gross violent and gratutious images is resident evil returning to it's roots?'' and he is right, resident evil 7 definally don't bring the franchize back to it's ''roots'' it change it once again
I played the whole thing in co-op a few years ago and I felt the same way as you described, maybe it's more bareable with a friend but it ends up so boring anyway and I can't remember much of it
“Bad RE, good action game” isn’t even true.
Mercenaries highlights what’s so good about this game, and also why the campaign is so bad: the movement.
The game NEVER even ATTEMPTS to reach you anything about advanced movement. In 3 playthroughs of this game I didn’t know you could counter/parry attacks, didn’t know you could quick turn exactly like every other game either, I didnt know you could sprint+R2 for a reliable way to knock down enemies.
The movement is great in RE6 and Mercenaries is absolutely fantastic in this game. Being able to summon gigantic towering boss enemies like that in just a casual game mode is really cool. Playing a lot of mercenaries and learning the movement does make the campaign more fun, but it can’t save it. Rolling, diving, sliding around is fun, I love rolling on the ground next to an enemy’s legs and just swinging at his legs with a knife, or doing John Wick stuff with Leon
And of course all Jake’s Naruto moves are really fun to use instead of his weapons.
But the game game has awful inventory systems and braindead “gameplay” that slow it wayyy down and fight against the game’s own strengths constantly, making it not a good action game.
Vanquish is something closer to the type of action game RE6 wanted to be.
Co-op can’t even save the campaign of this game, because there’s zero co-op mechanics. RE5 applied survival horror gameplay (ammo sharing, inventory management) TO the co-op. You could have assigned roles for weapon types if you wanted, I usually was short range/shotgun while my friend was sniper/machine gun.
RE6 has NONE of that. RE6 is only better in co-op because you have someone else to laugh until you turn red making fun of how ridiculous the game is.
I will say tho, you said enemy variety is lacking which just isn’t true. There are so many different wacky enemy types in RE6 it’s insane, TOO many in fact to the point where they all blend together and you barely even learn about them before the game is over. Another reason mercenaries is so good and helps you learn the game.
finally common sense among humans
RE6 is trash but it's movement makes for great mercenaries experience
if they just did RE6 maps, movement and graphical fidelity and named it MERCENARIES
it would be a hit
even capcom would get it's gacha fill with extra costumes and weapon skins
I like resident evil 6 I would play it over 7
Funny thing, my neighbor who has never played an Re game aside from Re4 remake mercenaries, wanted to play a co-op shooter so we began Re6 and since he knows nothing about Re, at the end of each mission he says “dude this game is freakin amazing!”.
10:20 I was playing with a random person in this area, and the person couldn't figure out where to go and what buttons to press. We got a whole hour stuck because they didn't understand what they were supposed to do, which was the funniest thing I ever witnessed in a coop RE game.
RE6 has the best mercenaries in the franchise.
I spent several years trying to complete all 4 campaigns. My first time on launch I got through Leon’s basically blindfolded. But was burnt out.
Like 6 months later did Chris, I really struggled as I basically had 2 saves right in the last level with no ammo/healing. Basically save scummed to win.
Sherry/Jake’s felt so long and just felt like it was made to be as annoying as possible. Which is a shame since I was excited to see Sherry again.
Then Ada’s is the one I booted up like 6 times over the years and play like 20 minutes before the dread comes back.
The only cool part of the whole thing was the C-Virus mutations. The imagery of the villain morphing into a flesh t-Rex and cheetah or the gun arm live rent free in my head.
I’m not saying it’s the best game but I really enjoyed my time on the game I only played Leon’s but I really enjoyed it I’m gonna play the other campaigns too
This us the best game in the series and nothing will change my mind, best gameplay in the series, solid story, great returning characters, great new characters, good character development, great enemies, great mechanics etc.
It got one thing right the runing.in all the other resident evil games the runing sucks it looks ridiculous.
I gave this game so many chances, I eventually had to come to the conclusion that this game is just bad. To its credit, it alters between straight up bad and funny bad, which makes coop enjoyable in short bursts. It's an exhausting game to play and it's irritating to play. The control on keyboard and mouse is a mess. The amount of my character falling to the ground to something offscreen and taking their sweet time to get up eventually grinds out my patience with the game.
I wouldn't mind it, if they let you upgrade the guns. I have rank 3 in the gun damage. But hardly notice a difference. Same with the damage bonuses against zombies, & j'avo. I tested it, & they seemed to die in the same amount of rounds.
Super late to the party..nothing here that hasn't been said a billion times over. Well past old news
great video man good job
Lol when you said Jake's campaign is where the game finally broke you, I related to that so hard. This is also where I - for the first time ever - quit an RE game before finishing it.
You know its wild, I've actually completed all the campaigns several times on Ps4, and for the life of me I do not remember Helena, this whole time I've remembered Leon's campaign as a solo one.
Welcome to this parallel universe
The only Solo one is Ada's. Though Hers can still be played with Co-op, where it adds an extra character that is a bit like Hunk. It's unique in that the 2nd character doesn't exist in the story, so in solo they are just not there. Its a bit weird as all the other campaigns are designed to have both player characters involved in the story, and usually have things that prevent progress unless both players are together. Somehow Ada's doesn't have anything like the Doors that you kick down together, so I can't remember how it solves the Co-op issues.
1:21 thank you so much for not doing that I just watched a tmnt video where this dude randomly went on an anti-mutant mayhem rant and it really annoyed me
The best thing about re6 is that made people realize how underrated re5 actually was, like, it gave re5 merit, also re6 Mercs is outstanding, and no joke, I've time and time thought that they made that mode a priority and then they made the story mode so the action has a little context or something
5 has solid gameplay at its core whether you like the game or not. 6 is just so hard to enjoy.
Biggest tip I would give to a new re6 player, esp when you play Leon campaign part 1 . Melee and use the button to do a maneuver on them. Just save on loot. You get a decent amount of loot and can survive. You get a lot of herbs for the first good half. More so just use melee and use a end kill move.
It's honestly not that bad in my opinion, yeah it's far from perfect but a lot of bandwagoners tends to overexaggerate the hell out of things they dislike about re6. Say what you like about re6, but it's still an objectively better game than 'Outlast: The sequel', AKA: re7.
I still don't regret the hours of Mercenaries I played in RE6. I was a decent player and I made a few online friends in the process
RE6 is basically Mercenaries expanded
