"I'm not sure if the developers will enjoy hearing their game enjoyed for how much it makes me laugh rather than scream..." I'm an amateur writer. I once wrote a short horror story where a reviewer said he was laughing all the way through (he was nice about it, not a jerk). And I wish I'd said to him what I'm going to say now: I'd rather entertain someone the wrong way than not entertain them at all.
So you'd rather live kneeling than die standing? People could get Entertainment from using your book as asswipes. You'd be happy then also?!? Cause you brought them Entertainment...
In France we have a distinction between 2 types of crappy movies. Navet is when a movie is like really bad, but like, plain bland bad. Nanar are this kind of weird, not good, movies that you still enjoy eventhough they are bad. I guess RE6 is a Nanar.
It's refreshing to see a video game video essayist not shitting over developers all the time. I'm glad you acknowledge the hard work, deadlines and compromises that go into making video games.
In regards to production, few games can beat the scale and polish of Resident Evil 6. It's chock-full of content and is also one of the best looking games of its generation. Damn impressive even today.
Finding a terrible game that takes itself so seriously AND can be enjoyed tenfold with friends is a great experience. A highlight for me and my group was an indie horror on Steam called Disillusions: Manga Horror. Nearly every aspect of the game was dreadful and I'll spare the details, but the developer updated it with a "competitive multiplayer experience" where the point was to jumpscare everyone else in the room. Soon we devolved into 1AM half-drunk screaming sessions where we would start timing the jumpscares to Africa by Toto or edit the audio files so the "Jumpscare Shock!" sound was a trumpet doot. We each only spend $0.10 on the game. A dime has never held such value since then.
"1AM half-drunk screaming sessions where we would start timing the jumpscares to Africa by Toto or edit the audio files so the "Jumpscare Shock!" sound was a trumpet doot." hahahah the fucking what?
I think the most important comment made in this comment section is: "Let's be honest here. The sheer amount of content this game has put most games nowadays to shame. These days, Ada's campaign would be a separate paid DLC." So, so true. Having played for the first time only this year, I was completely staggered.
Except the game had no multiplayer mode to justify the lack of quality of the campaigns. Sonic 2006 had three separate campaigns as well (Sonic, Silver, Shadow and a final with all 3) and is the low point of many competing low points in the series, not unlike RE 6. Everyone loves bonus characters in good games. I think a lot of the frustration at the game also came at a lack of trust in Capcom in those years, their westernization of their franchises did not go down well.
I must be fun at parties they would’ve done exactly what Hitman 2016 attempted. They would’ve released the first two missions of the Leon campaign and charged 20$ for each campaign successively. Altogether EA would’ve made this game cost around 200$ total I bet
The majority of maps for The Mercenaries were dlc, that particular mode was seriously lacking in content. There were only 3 maps in the base game. The single player however does have very substantial content.
Let's be honest here. The sheer amount of content this game has put most games nowadays to shame. These days, Ada's campaign would be a separate paid DLC. RE6 is one of the worst games I've come to love, and I'm not being sarcastic. In terms of combat, RE6 is a power fantasy, which is fitting given how experienced and well-trained the characters are. They aren't going to jump in fear at the first sign of a zombie. They'd just shrug and put a bullet through the head. Leon post RE2 barely blinks at the sight of a huge BOW. It's just another day for him at this point. Which is why RE7 having a civilian, and RE2 Remake having a rookie Leon and Claire is prefect for survival horror games. Let's be honest here. RE6 Leon would've curb stomped his way through RE7 with one-liners guzzling out of him.
True The key to a good survival horror is the right amount of disempowerment U can have a special forces officer of S.T.A.R.S. or a rookie cop but they can't be prepared perfectly for what's the come or laxed to the situation as Leon is in 4, why be scared if they're not Capable but not too capable, prepared generally but not for this
@@AL2009man In that DLC you can kill the molded extremely easy, they just balanced that out by throwing the white ones and just having more at the same time.
"There are moments where the ride derails" Considering what you've said earlier, I was surprised this game even had rails let a lone a train. It's more like riding a trolley down a hill while wearing a pope hat and cape.
There was this one anime I watched where a girl basically said he wants a guy he hates to get stuck in a helicopter owned by Capcom in reference to how many times helicopters crash in Resident Evil games and I think that basically sums up my thoughts on 6
I've had many great memories playing this game with my brother, even when we knew that this is not was nothing like previous games. If I'm being honest, I want this style of gameplay to return in a spin off rather then a main series title.
I was one of the few people who fucking loved this game when it came out. I picked it up on xbox one last month and had a friend play it with me online. Our playthrough culminated to the greatest thing I've seen in any game when I was trying to snipe a J'avo as Piers when I looked down from the rooftop I was on to see Chris crawling on his back, using only his legs to crawl forward, while screaming "hell yeah" and shooting the J'avo I was aiming at. Also the fucking Mercenaries mode was the best in the series, don't even play with me.
A decade ago I used to consider the original Witcher to be my favourite "bad" game because it was unpopular and low budget at the time. Never would have thought it'd become a multimillion selling game series.
Witcher 1 wasn't bad though, it was a genuinely good RPG. the combat sucked, but the multiple rpg systems and pretty good story kinda made up for the shitty block/parry loop
That combat was still better than Witcher 3 combat. Dodgerofling and spamming attack button isnt a good combat. Witcher 1 had strategy and rythm to its combat. @@SicSemperBeats
robert nomok i wouldn’t go that far. Witcher3 was kinda more realistic tbh. The rhythm thing was cool but i think you’re underestimating just how many people absolutely hated it. Plus you wouldn’t wanna parry a 4 ton griffin. The combat makes a lot more sense for fighting the monsters as you would dodge an animal in real life instead of blocking. I agree that W3 combat is unnecessarily fast but i just assumed it was because he was a “Witcher”. The only problem i have with Witcher 3 is that oils and potions aren’t really important and quen is too spammy and one note. They should have had added a little more dimension to the magic.
This is funny. I played E RE6 with a friend also and none of us had heard anything bad about it before hand it I had so much fun playing this game. It was great
@@Havibox21 Playing 6 by yourself feels like a massive chore, whilst 5 is pretty good. On the other hand playing both of these games with someone that you love is undoubtedly loads of fun :)
@@Visitormassacre yeah they did but cmon after re5, it was obvious that the game was def focused on action with a bit of horror. Its still a good game overall just not a good RE game.
Not really, I would name it the Fast and Furious of videogames. Is completely dumb and it kinda takes itself seriously while being competently well made to be some extremely entertaining.
I couldn't play games at the time that this came out, I would spend all my down-time on Let's Plays. RE 6 was a joy to watch, story was engaging enough and the moves, the scenery, the outfits... It was all so cool. And having my favourite LPrs collaborate together in the multiplayer? Real fun times.
Look pal, love it or hate it, if the stuff is fun, then IT WILL be fun. Like The Room, a movie that's so bad and yet its cult's still growing till this day
@@0uttaS1TE He hated Kiwami 2 because it was missing a bunch content from original game which in his opinion should never be done when remaking a game(they removed one of the hub areas, multiple sidequests, some minigames like bowling and pool and altered the story so that the characters never go into areas that are missing from the remake). Plus, the remake actually somehow manages to look worse in terms of art direction and area design than the original ps2 game in some sections (multiple parts that in the original had awesome unique battle arenas with rain and stuff that were replaced with generic ones with no rain or anything). Also, the remake used a completely different combat system than the original ps2 game. I think those are completely valid reasons to not like a remake honestly.
Both TheGamingBrit and HyberBitHero are wrong about Resident Evil 6. It's a mess and not an ironically fun one either (although Raycevick makes a better case for it than I've heard from other proponents) But they wouldn't listen to me because I'm one of those people who liked DmC Devil May Cry
Been playing Resident Evil since the very first and I still adore RE6. Hella fun action game. Also, you can pause the game on PC at least. You just have to use the actual pause key on your keyboard.
I’ve played every RE game and RE6 is possibly one of my favorites. It’s so ridiculously fun that I don’t even care how stupid it is. Me and my friend play it every summer and we have an absolute blast every single time.
My problem with RE6 stems from the clunky combat, honestly. The ammo is just scarce enough to encourage the broken melee system, and watching the same wrestling moves on zombies is not fun. Then theres a QTE around every corner. Also, the game is just ugly too. One of these days I'm going to try to stomach it to beat it just to be a completionist but RE6 is just bad in almost every way.
@Willem DaFuckedUp Everyone have a different tastes m8, and maybe for u Six is insulting, for me it's pure 3-rd person CQC gameplay gold, deal with it.
Yep, for more than 1 million people because RE6 remastered still sold about 1.5 million after 6 years of its initial release (which separately sold 7.2 million and the 2nd best selling RE game) even with people whining about it since its unveiling.
I thought it was a full-blown pleasure. Yeah, it's a major departure for the series but I thought it was pretty fun for what it is. Plus, I liked being able to move while aiming and shooting.
Can I say, that music choice was BRILLIANT! When I heard Black lagoons ED I felt lovely twinge of nostalgia, and Miracle of sounds Resi 6 song was a lovely closer
@@vargaa86 why because is nonsensical action everything has that movies tv shows, if you play it in a high difficulty it challenge your skills most of 12 old can not beat it yes it was not a horror game and if the gameplay had not been good we would have hated it
@@marcshimpar7645 Yeah, it's enough to just watch the intro cutscene of the very first game to understand how corny it always was. And then there's Barry giving Jill grenades for the launcher and saying: "This is a weapon! It's very powerful! Especially against living things!" LMAO XD
I love Resident Evil 6, my cousin and i played through it together, loving every minute of it. The story isnt good, but the gameplay in co-op is AMAZING. To this day, our running joke is QTE's, my cousin failed every single QTE at least twice, and the biggest and best one that took us over a half hour on was the cars in one of the stories, he had to hit a QTE or a semi, truck, or car would come and smash him, and he failed this one so many times, we laughed for at least 30 minutes straight, it was the best co-op experience to date. Sure RE6 isnt the best game in the world, but moments like that keep it in my heart.
I picked up 6 when it came out and wasn't disappointed! It's one of the most fun coop experiences I've ever had. They way the campaigns intersected and joined with other players was such a cool mechanic when you could actually find people playing that campaign lol
I recently discovered a similar concept in other games not necessarily bad ones per se, but more along the lines of who cares if it's serious or not as long as the game is fun. In this age of serious and gritty games, remembering that you play games to have a laugh and have a good time is very refreshing. My friend and I would literally laugh ourselves to tears over this games nonsense and we still revisit it every now and again.
I have 70 hours played in RE6. 70. Why? Because the action-focused mechanics made Mercenaries THE best iteration of the game mode to date. And the co-op was fun as hell.
RE6 Mercs is literally one of the best 3D action games ever created, and you get to enjoy it with a friend. Shame there's so few maps and the campaign isn't at the same level.
I thought it was way more repetitive than others with some specific melee attacks being one hit kills forcing you to just do the same neck breaker, Sherry's double kick or Leon's back elbow over and over and over again.
@@bennymountain1 I'd still say its a great game to buy... mostly when its on a massive sale because I have a hard time justifying recommending it at full price. The game is hilariously bad that its actually good. Its taking itself seriously yet its like Metal Gear Solid kind of stupid fun (minus the refinement to the nth degree).
RE6 Mercs was a blast to play, but Raid Mode from Revelations 1+2 is still my jam. I love them so much, I have Rev2 on release because of it, plus I rebought it on my Switch because the missions can be short enough that I can play for maybe an hour and progress some.
Thank you for highlighting the reasons why I love this game. The amount of enjoyment my friends and I got playing Resident Evil 6 will forever be one of my best memories in gaming.
Damn Raycevick, me and a friend are currently playing through ResE 5 and 6. We're loving it, you hit the nail right on the head. Talk about timing am I right?
It's amazing you had so much fun with this. My friend and I had the exact same experience. what with the jumping around and rolling on the ground and the thermonuclear red barrels. I remember when chris finds a dead colleague and you press X on his body he kneels down and goes, ..."JEEEUUUUFFF" in this straining voice that sounds like he's trying to push out a 10" diameter turd.
Perfectly put! I had a blast playing this in coop with a friend. One other thing to note is how incredibly long and varied it is! It's pretty much like 4 (short) games in one. It also looked pretty banger for a 7th gen game.
Im not a fan of RE6 but I think RE5 is one of the best Co-op games of all time. It also has the best mercenaries mode in the series (the mercenaries reunion version in the gold edition, not the vanilla version). Playing the main campaign solo is kind of a slog though. RE4 is one of the few games that deserves to be described as a masterpiece. It's my personal favorite along with the gamecube remake of RE1. It's baffling to see some people trying to discredit it somehow by saying "it wasn't a survival horror game" or "it wasn't a real Resident Evil game" as if that actually affects the game's quality. RE4 doesn't need the RE series (even though it's definitely a Resident Evil game) and it doesn't need to be grouped with other games just to give it a label. RE4 can stand on its own as one of the greatest games ever made.
@Dre the way Re6 played I was expecting operation raccoon city to play in a similar way kinda sad re6 didnt have a pvp multiplayer cuz I thought they nailed it when it came to control s for a pvp mode
RE4 is Action Horror though. It can't stand on its own because the progression proves that it's 100% an RE game. It'll be an entirely different game without the RE elements in place.
Loved the video (& the Black Lagoon track), however I'd recommend using a De-esser for the audio. Those S's are killing me, but other than that, keep it up!
“Best Bad Game” Speaking of, please do a video on EYE Divine Cybermancy. It’s a cluster hell fist of insanity, slushed together just enough to be a competent game. You’re very good at dissecting the intricacies of video games, and although EYE may be overwhelming I would love to see your take on it.
RE 5 and 6 entertained my brothers and I for years when we were younger. We had no connections to the older games and no expectations for the new ones (at the time) which allowed us to just enjoy them for what they were. We still shout out "Sheva, HURRY!" just to bug each other.
I don't know if I can finish this video. It brings back bad memories. I will say that if a good game is hard you feel like you accomplished something when you figure it out, but a bad game that is hard feels convoluted and arbitrary even when you get past it.
Played through RE6 with my brother and we had pretty much the same experience. Almost died laughing more than once, in this day and age almost anything that makes me laugh has value in my opinion.
@@copiumhsrgi Yeah but its even more, more so since the Series improved on stuff like Voice acting. Resident evil 1 didn't have anything on par with Leon's helicopter crash.
Not like this though, as only the 3rd CG movie went as of the rails as this narrative (a sequel to RE6). RE6´s story, cutscenes and lore are by far the worst part about it, aside crazy bloat and lack of coherent level design.
Reccomendation: In light of slow degradation and death of Total War franchise, you could make a video about downfall of classical RTS genre and it's established franchises and general disappearance of RTS games from front pages.
Wish I could, but RTS's aren't my forte, and could only make a video on the subject as somebody almost completely blind to the genre and its establishments.
Btw Starcraft 2 and Age of Empires 2 are still played. SC2 has multiple big tournaments a year and gets well covered and streamed. Age 2 I didn’t realize after picking up the bundle has like 30+ civs now with new campaigns with so many hours, and new AI
@@will.roman-ros I know, just as a lot of people still play CoH, Men of War, C&C and other classics, but how old are these games? Why are there no new installments? Why are there no new franchises? Why are there only just a few RTS games coming out every year, and why do they rarely get any attention at all, much less the front page coverage (for example, Battlefleet Gothic Armada II right now)? RTS used to rule the gaming industry in the days of Warcraft, Starcraft, C&C, TW, CoH, AoE, AoM etc. etc. I thought its downfall would make an amazing topic for Raycevick video. @O Belmont Total War is now doing yearly releases with minor changes and even fewer improvements, built on a 10 year old engine that was designed for Empire / Napoleon type of gameplay, not for sword and shield collisions. It was not even perfect for musket battles in the first place, but they kept using it for a decade now. TW veterans know what im talking about, if you are interested i suggest you watch Reynold Sanity's video 'Sane Critique, Why Rome II Failed'. And he made that video like 5 years ago, things got even worse now. Funny thing is, Rome II got fixed in the meantime and is now enjoyable to a degree, especially with mods and Creative Assembly knows it, which is why they shamelessly still make DLCs for R2 even after 6 years now, that pretty much add nothing of value to the core game. They even made some kind of Desert Kingdoms DLC, where you get black female generals, which caused even more stupid shit and alienated the community, because their PR team handled all the criticism basically the same way EA did on BFV i.e. 'Educate yourself bigots, there were stronk wahmen generals in history.' Essentially, Total War is now a mainstream, yearly franchise with a decade old engine that prevents any real innovation, and a disillusionted veteran community replaced by casual players, who CA caters to more and more with each installment. Upcoming Three Kingdoms will have ARCADE mode for the first time in TW series, i couldnt believe my eyes. Total War lost its identity and is now a shell of its former glory, similiar to CoD in that aspect...
Бајомир I pretty much agree with everything you said, especially the TW 3 Kingdoms stuff as I recently read a book on China, and would’ve loved a purely historical game, no idea what they were thinking, and kind of hope to see it burn. To answer your main questions with my assumptions: I think those great RTS’s hit at a time that graphics, UI, mechanics, and AI came together like no time before. I’d have to go look at what we’d have been playing as far as all the other genres at the time, but clearly you’re right that RTS’s ruled, but the point that I want to make is all the other genres had a clear way of progressing, like graphics and UI mostly, as I feel AI for shooters has barely evolved, same with mechanics. RTS’s we love for the mechanics, and I suppose that’s a lot harder to change bc RTS’s have some 100% expected mechanics. I think honestly that TW is the evolution of the RTS, bc we went from AoE with 75 pop cap to TW with 75 units adding up to maybe 7,000 plus models, and a turn based campaign map. Like hot damn, it also kind of kills Sid Meyers Civilization in a way too. We went from hearing the same sounds and seeing the same animations in all those RTS’s to TW with dynamic battles raging with the sounds of shields and spears splintering, and the cries of thousands of warriors in pitched combat. I think that, like with much game tech, adding new details and features on games like TW that affect so many models are extremely taxing on systems, so before we actually get spears splintering and shields and armor denting and breaking, we’ll need better tech and optimization. What do you expect there to be that’s not there? I think a change like bodies having collisions would be awesome, like horses and chariots tripping on bodies, and mounds of bodies causing troops to stumble and climb would be awesome, but again that may be too taxing, not sure. They def need to fix combat on walls, that’s for sure, plus add more defenses etc. for castles, forts, and walls. Always need more formations and options for angle of attack for missile units too. I’d love to be able to do the ole shoot an arched volley, followed by a straight volley, so they hit at the same time and the infantry have a harder time blocking all the missiles. Would love to hear your response and ideas. Blessings to all.
Re4 started the trend of more action less horror but still had a good blend. The problem is the generation liked the action parts more than the horror... which is how we ended up with the actionfest called re5.
I agree. The only RE game I like more is the 2 remake. Fantastic game, I love the graphics, lighting, and how the characters become steadily more ragged and filthy as the game progresses.
@@maninredhelm its what you notice actually with the RE Titles, is they have to reinvent themselves all of a sudden to pull off a major win. Each game that comes out that feels like the last has this tendency of being labeled "The bad one" before all of a sudden it changes pace completely. RE7 is nothing like RE original or RE 4, yet is being praised as return to form. Funny enough at the time RE4 was having the same effect, just now with 5 and 6 peoples perspectives changed as the series got more action orientated during the era. This has been a trend for RE, so yeah i say its right to call it an RE game since it does that cycle one again, or rather puts it into light.
I gotta say, I played RE6 with a friend and we loved every corny, schlocky minute of it. The story is S tier B movie nonsense and so are the characters but that just makes it even better. Also we have to mention the controls. Why are the controls so overworked in this game? Not only can you run, shoot and melee but you can dive, dive and shoot, dive and roll around on the ground and shoot, you can dual wield guns, you can quick draw and shoot, you can quick draw and rapid fire, you can dodge enemies and melee counter enemies and I've probably forgotten a bunch of stuff! RE6 was so stupid and so fun :)
I liked parts of Jake's campaign when I played it co-op. We fucked up a quicktime event at the end on the helicopter (I think it was a helicopter), and it looked like the characters just gave up and fell to their deaths because they couldn't be bothered to continue. Conversely, the sneaking parts of that campaign were actually decent at times.
I have both ironically and unironically enjoyed 6. The overdone story elements were always fun in irony but honestly I loved the combat unironically. Doing dodges out of the way of enemy attacks made the 3rd person shooting feel chaotic in a way the series has never done otherwise. Melee and ranged skirmishes became almost like a dark souls game with cover. This game isn't a flaming pile if garbage as a game. As an entry in the RE series, it is thematically horrid but when I am playing it, I am more often smiling than not. It is a good game in its own right.
Dr. Loomis Nah, I doubt it. The only way I see Resident Evil 2 not being able to get nominated for game of the year is if there will be A TON of good games coming out, which I highly doubt. Plus the quality of Resident Evil 2 already outmatches what we see on the market right now, and even the market of last year by a landslide.

I've always said that as more new players join the industry, the context veterans have of certain IPs and franchises will be tested when people's gaming experiences become diverse. I say this because I still hear conversations that begin with, "You never played (this game)?! What's wrong with you?!" as if it was a terrible sin to not have either the time or finances to play certain games. I recently had a conversation with someone who firmly believed in the idea of "the best games rise to the top," whenever asked if he'd prefer a more open market or a more closed one, not acknowledging that the word "best" is often in the eye of the beholder. I think this video demonstrates that really well, and it's a good reminder of how diverse video games are becoming as the years go by.
Resident evil 6 was my first introduction to the series. Surprisingly, I still play it even after 8 years. Which still surprises me, I never put that much time to a video game like that before. I know RE6 isn’t the best re game. I played almost all of them. However, I remember my siblings and I playing it together. It was a happy time.
I love playing some "bad" games for a sort of "dumb fun" or even just a "guilty pleasure" type of thing. Like, there are some games said to be "bad" by general consensus, but I still enjoy them even in just some small part. Sure, I'm not going to say its actually amazing or undeserving of the criticism. But I still can find some fun to be had in it.
I see this a lot but it bored me to tears as an action game too. I love the stupid diving mechanic but not a single enemy actually requires you to use it. The whole game I was waiting for some dude to come out with long spinning blade arms forcing me to roll around on the floor, stopping occasionally to pull off headshots. Never happened. Shite game.
@Exotic Razor the fuck dude, the reason why i write those thing because i played all of the RE series except re2 remake that got released just now, from og re1 and including those shooter in WII and RE6 included...... RE 6 is enjoyable as fuck as a game but using "resident evil" name in it makes ppl have expectation on the game in which RE 6 cant deliver at all....... Capcom has done this before in re4 development and instead forcing the prototipe to become its own fully fledge game called devil may cry and look how succes that franchise is..... Could you imagine if re4 not an re4 we know but dmc with re4 name in it instead?
That's what I say about Resident Evil 5. Lots of morons complained abut bunch of things, but it's an outstanding action title (which was incredibly optimized for PC back then unlike other Capcom's previous attempts, something casuals seem to forget). Easily a 8.5/10.
I couldn't agree more. 6 is a game I keep coming back to over and over again. It's flawed yet immensely fun and satisfying combat is perfectly paired with the absolutely hilarious story and setpieces. Even though I get the feeling it was made by idiots I also feel like some of them were having fun with it as well because even it is so overwhelmingly dumb, it is jam packed with unlockables, extra content, and weirdly meticulous detail in everything from the different menus to the differences between how each character plays. Don't get me wrong there is plenty here not to praise but so few games now a days put such a big smile on my face like this game does. It is explosive ridiculous action with not a hint of shame and I adore it.
Couldn't agree more. The fluid combat system, the loads of content that is offered from 4 campaigns, with 7 playable characters (8 with Hunk), most likely the best Mercenaries mode too...???? What do people hate about this game? Idk, but I love it.
"I'm not sure if the developers will enjoy hearing their game enjoyed for how much it makes me laugh rather than scream..."
I'm an amateur writer. I once wrote a short horror story where a reviewer said he was laughing all the way through (he was nice about it, not a jerk). And I wish I'd said to him what I'm going to say now: I'd rather entertain someone the wrong way than not entertain them at all.

Soon we devolved into 1AM half-drunk screaming sessions where we would start timing the jumpscares to Africa by Toto or edit the audio files so the "Jumpscare Shock!" sound was a trumpet doot.
We each only spend $0.10 on the game. A dime has never held such value since then.
"1AM half-drunk screaming sessions where we would start timing the jumpscares to Africa by Toto or edit the audio files so the "Jumpscare Shock!" sound was a trumpet doot."
hahahah the fucking what?
8:24 is absolutely hilarious. Leon just stands there stoically watching his partner get mushed up.
ok but also why do I hear him say "ada..." at 8:38
lol
I think the most important comment made in this comment section is:
"Let's be honest here. The sheer amount of content this game has put most games nowadays to shame. These days, Ada's campaign would be a separate paid DLC."
So, so true. Having played for the first time only this year, I was completely staggered.
Except the game had no multiplayer mode to justify the lack of quality of the campaigns. Sonic 2006 had three separate campaigns as well (Sonic, Silver, Shadow and a final with all 3) and is the low point of many competing low points in the series, not unlike RE 6. Everyone loves bonus characters in good games.
I think a lot of the frustration at the game also came at a lack of trust in Capcom in those years, their westernization of their franchises did not go down well.
@@Spaced92 but... It has a multiplayer mode, it's literally a co-op game, plus there's mercenaries and that invade option

Tiny brain post tbh
I must be fun at parties they would’ve done exactly what Hitman 2016 attempted. They would’ve released the first two missions of the Leon campaign and charged 20$ for each campaign successively. Altogether EA would’ve made this game cost around 200$ total I bet
The majority of maps for The Mercenaries were dlc, that particular mode was seriously lacking in content. There were only 3 maps in the base game. The single player however does have very substantial content.

Let's be honest here. The sheer amount of content this game has put most games nowadays to shame. These days, Ada's campaign would be a separate paid DLC. RE6 is one of the worst games I've come to love, and I'm not being sarcastic. In terms of combat, RE6 is a power fantasy, which is fitting given how experienced and well-trained the characters are. They aren't going to jump in fear at the first sign of a zombie. They'd just shrug and put a bullet through the head. Leon post RE2 barely blinks at the sight of a huge BOW. It's just another day for him at this point.
Which is why RE7 having a civilian, and RE2 Remake having a rookie Leon and Claire is prefect for survival horror games. Let's be honest here. RE6 Leon would've curb stomped his way through RE7 with one-liners guzzling out of him.
True
The key to a good survival horror is the right amount of disempowerment
U can have a special forces officer of S.T.A.R.S. or a rookie cop but they can't be prepared perfectly for what's the come or laxed to the situation as Leon is in 4, why be scared if they're not
Capable but not too capable, prepared generally but not for this

I've had many great memories playing this game with my brother, even when we knew that this is not was nothing like previous games. If I'm being honest, I want this style of gameplay to return in a spin off rather then a main series title.
I was one of the few people who fucking loved this game when it came out. I picked it up on xbox one last month and had a friend play it with me online. Our playthrough culminated to the greatest thing I've seen in any game when I was trying to snipe a J'avo as Piers when I looked down from the rooftop I was on to see Chris crawling on his back, using only his legs to crawl forward, while screaming "hell yeah" and shooting the J'avo I was aiming at.
Also the fucking Mercenaries mode was the best in the series, don't even play with me.
A decade ago I used to consider the original Witcher to be my favourite "bad" game because it was unpopular and low budget at the time. Never would have thought it'd become a multimillion selling game series.
That's the Power of Polish for you.
Besides story is too good to be among "good bad games".
Witcher 1 wasn't bad though, it was a genuinely good RPG. the combat sucked, but the multiple rpg systems and pretty good story kinda made up for the shitty block/parry loop
That combat was still better than Witcher 3 combat. Dodgerofling and spamming attack button isnt a good combat. Witcher 1 had strategy and rythm to its combat. @@SicSemperBeats
robert nomok i wouldn’t go that far. Witcher3 was kinda more realistic tbh. The rhythm thing was cool but i think you’re underestimating just how many people absolutely hated it. Plus you wouldn’t wanna parry a 4 ton griffin. The combat makes a lot more sense for fighting the monsters as you would dodge an animal in real life instead of blocking. I agree that W3 combat is unnecessarily fast but i just assumed it was because he was a “Witcher”. The only problem i have with Witcher 3 is that oils and potions aren’t really important and quen is too spammy and one note. They should have had added a little more dimension to the magic.

@@0uttaS1TE He hated Kiwami 2 because it was missing a bunch content from original game which in his opinion should never be done when remaking a game(they removed one of the hub areas, multiple sidequests, some minigames like bowling and pool and altered the story so that the characters never go into areas that are missing from the remake).
Plus, the remake actually somehow manages to look worse in terms of art direction and area design than the original ps2 game in some sections (multiple parts that in the original had awesome unique battle arenas with rain and stuff that were replaced with generic ones with no rain or anything). Also, the remake used a completely different combat system than the original ps2 game. I think those are completely valid reasons to not like a remake honestly.
Metroid 4 was caneled!
Both TheGamingBrit and HyberBitHero are wrong about Resident Evil 6. It's a mess and not an ironically fun one either (although Raycevick makes a better case for it than I've heard from other proponents) But they wouldn't listen to me because I'm one of those people who liked DmC Devil May Cry
0utta S1TE yeah
Been playing Resident Evil since the very first and I still adore RE6. Hella fun action game. Also, you can pause the game on PC at least. You just have to use the actual pause key on your keyboard.
I’ve played every RE game and RE6 is possibly one of my favorites. It’s so ridiculously fun that I don’t even care how stupid it is. Me and my friend play it every summer and we have an absolute blast every single time.
My problem with RE6 stems from the clunky combat, honestly. The ammo is just scarce enough to encourage the broken melee system, and watching the same wrestling moves on zombies is not fun. Then theres a QTE around every corner. Also, the game is just ugly too. One of these days I'm going to try to stomach it to beat it just to be a completionist but RE6 is just bad in almost every way.
The co-op is super fun and those fanfiction moments are crazy XD
@Willem DaFuckedUp And? Maybe it's trash, but hey, even in trash u can find some gems.
@Willem DaFuckedUp Everyone have a different tastes m8, and maybe for u Six is insulting, for me it's pure 3-rd person CQC gameplay gold, deal with it.
This game is just a massive guilty pleasure for a lot of people.
Yep, for more than 1 million people because RE6 remastered still sold about 1.5 million after 6 years of its initial release (which separately sold 7.2 million and the 2nd best selling RE game) even with people whining about it since its unveiling.
Not for me. It was a fun game, def not the best or even a good RE game but fun.
The game is pretty much all the resident evil movies crammed in a single package
Not for me. It has some of the best action mechanics in a third person shooter and it's mercenaries mode is so much fun.
I thought it was a full-blown pleasure. Yeah, it's a major departure for the series but I thought it was pretty fun for what it is.
Plus, I liked being able to move while aiming and shooting.
Can I say, that music choice was BRILLIANT! When I heard Black lagoons ED I felt lovely twinge of nostalgia, and Miracle of sounds Resi 6 song was a lovely closer
That 'SHERRY' at the start took me off guard, oh my God.
RE4 was a pioneer of the third person shooter POV tho. RE2 remake made justice to both RE1 and RE4's influence.
Some are winners, others are losers, it’s all perspectives. No way around it. I love it 🥰

Check out WinBack for the nintendo 64. It has laser sight aiming and a cover system. In 1999.

@@milosmisic89 it was, campy but played straight
I love Resident Evil 6, my cousin and i played through it together, loving every minute of it. The story isnt good, but the gameplay in co-op is AMAZING. To this day, our running joke is QTE's, my cousin failed every single QTE at least twice, and the biggest and best one that took us over a half hour on was the cars in one of the stories, he had to hit a QTE or a semi, truck, or car would come and smash him, and he failed this one so many times, we laughed for at least 30 minutes straight, it was the best co-op experience to date. Sure RE6 isnt the best game in the world, but moments like that keep it in my heart.
I picked up 6 when it came out and wasn't disappointed! It's one of the most fun coop experiences I've ever had. They way the campaigns intersected and joined with other players was such a cool mechanic when you could actually find people playing that campaign lol
I recently discovered a similar concept in other games not necessarily bad ones per se, but more along the lines of who cares if it's serious or not as long as the game is fun. In this age of serious and gritty games, remembering that you play games to have a laugh and have a good time is very refreshing. My friend and I would literally laugh ourselves to tears over this games nonsense and we still revisit it every now and again.
Killing your friend during the quicktime events is the funniest shit in any game ever
I have 70 hours played in RE6. 70. Why? Because the action-focused mechanics made Mercenaries THE best iteration of the game mode to date.
And the co-op was fun as hell.
RE6 Mercs is literally one of the best 3D action games ever created, and you get to enjoy it with a friend. Shame there's so few maps and the campaign isn't at the same level.
RE6 should also have its genre changed (or one of its genres). It should also count as a comedy game.
I thought it was way more repetitive than others with some specific melee attacks being one hit kills forcing you to just do the same neck breaker, Sherry's double kick or Leon's back elbow over and over and over again.
@@bennymountain1 I'd still say its a great game to buy... mostly when its on a massive sale because I have a hard time justifying recommending it at full price. The game is hilariously bad that its actually good. Its taking itself seriously yet its like Metal Gear Solid kind of stupid fun (minus the refinement to the nth degree).
RE6 Mercs was a blast to play, but Raid Mode from Revelations 1+2 is still my jam. I love them so much, I have Rev2 on release because of it, plus I rebought it on my Switch because the missions can be short enough that I can play for maybe an hour and progress some.

Perfectly put! I had a blast playing this in coop with a friend. One other thing to note is how incredibly long and varied it is! It's pretty much like 4 (short) games in one. It also looked pretty banger for a 7th gen game.
Im not a fan of RE6 but I think RE5 is one of the best Co-op games of all time. It also has the best mercenaries mode in the series (the mercenaries reunion version in the gold edition, not the vanilla version). Playing the main campaign solo is kind of a slog though.
RE4 is one of the few games that deserves to be described as a masterpiece. It's my personal favorite along with the gamecube remake of RE1. It's baffling to see some people trying to discredit it somehow by saying "it wasn't a survival horror game" or "it wasn't a real Resident Evil game" as if that actually affects the game's quality. RE4 doesn't need the RE series (even though it's definitely a Resident Evil game) and it doesn't need to be grouped with other games just to give it a label. RE4 can stand on its own as one of the greatest games ever made.
"RE4 doesn't need the RE series"
This is really true. It's the perfect middle ground between what a RE game "should be" and a just generally fun game.
Agree there was so much to do and so much replay value
@Dre i disagree RE5 improved on the controls that RE4 had
@Dre the way Re6 played I was expecting operation raccoon city to play in a similar way kinda sad re6 didnt have a pvp multiplayer cuz I thought they nailed it when it came to control s for a pvp mode
RE4 is Action Horror though. It can't stand on its own because the progression proves that it's 100% an RE game. It'll be an entirely different game without the RE elements in place.
I love this game so much,. With the right friend and mindset of this is an overtop shooter:mint could be the most fun you've ever had

Uhm The Total War franchise is doing better and is more popular than it has even been, also it's not a RTS :s.
@@will.roman-ros I know, just as a lot of people still play CoH, Men of War, C&C and other classics, but how old are these games?
Why are there no new installments? Why are there no new franchises? Why are there only just a few RTS games coming out every year, and why do they rarely get any attention at all, much less the front page coverage (for example, Battlefleet Gothic Armada II right now)?
RTS used to rule the gaming industry in the days of Warcraft, Starcraft, C&C, TW, CoH, AoE, AoM etc. etc. I thought its downfall would make an amazing topic for Raycevick video.
@O Belmont Total War is now doing yearly releases with minor changes and even fewer improvements, built on a 10 year old engine that was designed for Empire / Napoleon type of gameplay, not for sword and shield collisions. It was not even perfect for musket battles in the first place, but they kept using it for a decade now. TW veterans know what im talking about, if you are interested i suggest you watch Reynold Sanity's video 'Sane Critique, Why Rome II Failed'.
And he made that video like 5 years ago, things got even worse now. Funny thing is, Rome II got fixed in the meantime and is now enjoyable to a degree, especially with mods and Creative Assembly knows it, which is why they shamelessly still make DLCs for R2 even after 6 years now, that pretty much add nothing of value to the core game.
They even made some kind of Desert Kingdoms DLC, where you get black female generals, which caused even more stupid shit and alienated the community, because their PR team handled all the criticism basically the same way EA did on BFV i.e. 'Educate yourself bigots, there were stronk wahmen generals in history.'
Essentially, Total War is now a mainstream, yearly franchise with a decade old engine that prevents any real innovation, and a disillusionted veteran community replaced by casual players, who CA caters to more and more with each installment. Upcoming Three Kingdoms will have ARCADE mode for the first time in TW series, i couldnt believe my eyes. Total War lost its identity and is now a shell of its former glory, similiar to CoD in that aspect...
Бајомир I pretty much agree with everything you said, especially the TW 3 Kingdoms stuff as I recently read a book on China, and would’ve loved a purely historical game, no idea what they were thinking, and kind of hope to see it burn.
To answer your main questions with my assumptions: I think those great RTS’s hit at a time that graphics, UI, mechanics, and AI came together like no time before. I’d have to go look at what we’d have been playing as far as all the other genres at the time, but clearly you’re right that RTS’s ruled, but the point that I want to make is all the other genres had a clear way of progressing, like graphics and UI mostly, as I feel AI for shooters has barely evolved, same with mechanics. RTS’s we love for the mechanics, and I suppose that’s a lot harder to change bc RTS’s have some 100% expected mechanics. I think honestly that TW is the evolution of the RTS, bc we went from AoE with 75 pop cap to TW with 75 units adding up to maybe 7,000 plus models, and a turn based campaign map. Like hot damn, it also kind of kills Sid Meyers Civilization in a way too. We went from hearing the same sounds and seeing the same animations in all those RTS’s to TW with dynamic battles raging with the sounds of shields and spears splintering, and the cries of thousands of warriors in pitched combat. I think that, like with much game tech, adding new details and features on games like TW that affect so many models are extremely taxing on systems, so before we actually get spears splintering and shields and armor denting and breaking, we’ll need better tech and optimization. What do you expect there to be that’s not there? I think a change like bodies having collisions would be awesome, like horses and chariots tripping on bodies, and mounds of bodies causing troops to stumble and climb would be awesome, but again that may be too taxing, not sure. They def need to fix combat on walls, that’s for sure, plus add more defenses etc. for castles, forts, and walls. Always need more formations and options for angle of attack for missile units too. I’d love to be able to do the ole shoot an arched volley, followed by a straight volley, so they hit at the same time and the infantry have a harder time blocking all the missiles. Would love to hear your response and ideas.
Blessings to all.

Each game that comes out that feels like the last has this tendency of being labeled "The bad one" before all of a sudden it changes pace completely. RE7 is nothing like RE original or RE 4, yet is being praised as return to form. Funny enough at the time RE4 was having the same effect, just now with 5 and 6 peoples perspectives changed as the series got more action orientated during the era. This has been a trend for RE, so yeah i say its right to call it an RE game since it does that cycle one again, or rather puts it into light.
I gotta say, I played RE6 with a friend and we loved every corny, schlocky minute of it. The story is S tier B movie nonsense and so are the characters but that just makes it even better. Also we have to mention the controls. Why are the controls so overworked in this game? Not only can you run, shoot and melee but you can dive, dive and shoot, dive and roll around on the ground and shoot, you can dual wield guns, you can quick draw and shoot, you can quick draw and rapid fire, you can dodge enemies and melee counter enemies and I've probably forgotten a bunch of stuff! RE6 was so stupid and so fun :)
Imagine a sandbox type mode on this game where you could explore the environments and spawn stuff like gmod
I see a man here who enjoys some best of the worst 😂 good video man, guilty pleasures are always great!!!
I liked parts of Jake's campaign when I played it co-op. We fucked up a quicktime event at the end on the helicopter (I think it was a helicopter), and it looked like the characters just gave up and fell to their deaths because they couldn't be bothered to continue. Conversely, the sneaking parts of that campaign were actually decent at times.
I have both ironically and unironically enjoyed 6. The overdone story elements were always fun in irony but honestly I loved the combat unironically. Doing dodges out of the way of enemy attacks made the 3rd person shooting feel chaotic in a way the series has never done otherwise. Melee and ranged skirmishes became almost like a dark souls game with cover. This game isn't a flaming pile if garbage as a game. As an entry in the RE series, it is thematically horrid but when I am playing it, I am more often smiling than not. It is a good game in its own right.
Promising Resident Evil 2? The game is already goty contender!
Dr. Loomis Nah, I doubt it. The only way I see Resident Evil 2 not being able to get nominated for game of the year is if there will be A TON of good games coming out, which I highly doubt. Plus the quality of Resident Evil 2 already outmatches what we see on the market right now, and even the market of last year by a landslide.
@@superspooky9195 This is a year of great games. They say 2018 was good but I personally didnt care about the games that much.
Now, in 2019, we have already gotten Remake 2 but we will also get;
Sekiro
CONTROL
Death Stranding(most likely)
Super Spooky lol are you crazy ? Re2 is just a good remake but it did nothing groundbreaking a ton of games from last year a way better then re2 lol and this year wil be the same thing think of the last of us it wil destroy re2 and that’s just 1 game kingdom hearts 3 in a few days also goty contender re2 is good don’t get me wrong but it’s not aGoty game it wil maby win a award of best remake of 2019 but that’s it
I've always said that as more new players join the industry, the context veterans have of certain IPs and franchises will be tested when people's gaming experiences become diverse. I say this because I still hear conversations that begin with, "You never played (this game)?! What's wrong with you?!" as if it was a terrible sin to not have either the time or finances to play certain games. I recently had a conversation with someone who firmly believed in the idea of "the best games rise to the top," whenever asked if he'd prefer a more open market or a more closed one, not acknowledging that the word "best" is often in the eye of the beholder. I think this video demonstrates that really well, and it's a good reminder of how diverse video games are becoming as the years go by.
Resident evil 6 was my first introduction to the series. Surprisingly, I still play it even after 8 years. Which still surprises me, I never put that much time to a video game like that before. I know RE6 isn’t the best re game. I played almost all of them. However, I remember my siblings and I playing it together. It was a happy time.
I love playing some "bad" games for a sort of "dumb fun" or even just a "guilty pleasure" type of thing. Like, there are some games said to be "bad" by general consensus, but I still enjoy them even in just some small part. Sure, I'm not going to say its actually amazing or undeserving of the criticism. But I still can find some fun to be had in it.
RE 6 only sins, is using Resident evil's name....
its a fine game, as an action game......
I see this a lot but it bored me to tears as an action game too. I love the stupid diving mechanic but not a single enemy actually requires you to use it. The whole game I was waiting for some dude to come out with long spinning blade arms forcing me to roll around on the floor, stopping occasionally to pull off headshots. Never happened. Shite game.
I played with my brother in coop and we loved it. But we never played RE before so we had no expectations
It would've made RE fans less mad at the time, but the game is still almost schizophrenic and really, REALLY stupid.
@Exotic Razor the fuck dude, the reason why i write those thing because i played all of the RE series except re2 remake that got released just now, from og re1 and including those shooter in WII and RE6 included......
RE 6 is enjoyable as fuck as a game but using "resident evil" name in it makes ppl have expectation on the game in which RE 6 cant deliver at all.......
Capcom has done this before in re4 development and instead forcing the prototipe to become its own fully fledge game called devil may cry and look how succes that franchise is.....
Could you imagine if re4 not an re4 we know but dmc with re4 name in it instead?
That's what I say about Resident Evil 5.
Lots of morons complained abut bunch of things, but it's an outstanding action title
(which was incredibly optimized for PC back then unlike other Capcom's previous attempts, something casuals seem to forget).
Easily a 8.5/10.
I couldn't agree more. 6 is a game I keep coming back to over and over again. It's flawed yet immensely fun and satisfying combat is perfectly paired with the absolutely hilarious story and setpieces. Even though I get the feeling it was made by idiots I also feel like some of them were having fun with it as well because even it is so overwhelmingly dumb, it is jam packed with unlockables, extra content, and weirdly meticulous detail in everything from the different menus to the differences between how each character plays. Don't get me wrong there is plenty here not to praise but so few games now a days put such a big smile on my face like this game does. It is explosive ridiculous action with not a hint of shame and I adore it.
Couldn't agree more. The fluid combat system, the loads of content that is offered from 4 campaigns, with 7 playable characters (8 with Hunk), most likely the best Mercenaries mode too...???? What do people hate about this game? Idk, but I love it.
Nice choice using the Resident Evil movie theme for the intro. It's genuinely one of the most unsettling songs I've ever heard.
That part where chris and whats his face play on the playground is the best.
"I'm cutting off limbs, *like a normal person* "
The last time I checked, _Resident Evil: Revelations_ was the return to horror for the series, not _Revelations 2_ .
This, I imagine it made capcom see their was a place for it more than they did before
yeah surprised he didn't even mention it -- only the sequel.
*punch the boulder*
I absolutely love this video
Surprised I haven't seen any comments saying they hate Resident Evil 7. (Which i personally loved)
