I think the consensus is that RE5 and 6 aren’t bad games, they’re just bad RE games, not because they’re not fun but because they’re way too action heavy and no longer feel like RE, they feel like a completely different series
@@Actionfigure_fit Because RE4 didn't have a giant robot? That seems pretty action heavy if you ask me. I'm sorry, too action heavy is a poor argument to claim something isn't a good RE game.
Ada's campaign was intended to be the last played. Initially, you had to beat the other three campaigns to unlock Ada's campaign. An update to the game enabled you to play Ada's campaign whenever you chose after the intro segment.
Why is every youtuber afraid to say they like 5 or 6 without some underhanded remark. Its so annoying, almost like theyre afraid the masses wont like their video or unsubscribe. People forget 5 & 6 were Capcoms best selling games ever before the remake of 2. People bought them, played them and liked them. Great video by the way
Resident evil never felt like horror gore to me, it felt like an endless chase due to humans and science, and this is just a high action part of the story, it’s will always be my favorite Res to actually play
The gameplay is really fun and addicting, the graphics are pretty great for the time, and it was loaded with so much content. Four diffrent campaigns, tons of collectables, and several extra modes that are really addicting. What killed it was being called Resident Evil. If it was a new ip or anything else it would get a lot of praise.
Four different campaigns full of nonsense, scripted Hollywood You're right, you could find something good in it... if it was called Call of Duty instead of Resident Evil
It's a good action game, but in my mind I expected a survival horror game called Resident Evil. So yeah it was that bad for Resident Evil games. We already have TON of great action game out there.
I actually liked re6. I loved that they had 3 different stories and wasn’t lazy about it. All three stories connected to each other and they had A separate story for Ada.
4 stories's great value for the money and very smooth and cool mechanics and action, but definitely not survival horror if they named it differently maybe the reception would've been much better
It's by no means perfect, but I feel this game got bad talked so much by the media, especially those who didn't even play it, and then no one gave it a chance. I enjoyed it a lot, and think it has some of the most emotional story beats in the whole franchise, especially in Chris' story like you mentioned. Very cool to see you give this game a fair shake, and even recommend it to people!
I played it. I tried to find the positive with the game and I can’t finished it. I wanted to experience the story in order. So I looked at a guide to get the order of each missions. So that way I can try everyone’s playstyle. It’s not good. I’m so glad capcom listened to the fans and went back to its roots.
@@ParanoiDave True, some did. Moreso on podcasts and videos over the years, it's just devolved to "that game sucks", "no one played it", "everyone hates it", etc.
for real i had the most fun with my best friend, first campaign was abit slow and scary second was full of action, the one where Piers died was very sad, i feel like in todays time people cant find there own opinion, they will enjoy something then look online and see that it got a general bad perception and then instantly had said thing.
@@3KURIS I literally formed my own opinion. I tried the game and it’s not a good game. I’m usually not critical of games but this game but I couldn’t find a positive thing to say about it.
To me as a fan, I think action is a natural progression this game is good to be. You have a character that goes through that thing, of course they'll be afraid. Now they have grown to know the horror of the world, and we expect them to be the same scared kid that we met the first time?
Exactly what I thought and we can see that between the earlier games. From being able to dodge or do stun finishers RE6's gameplay was a natural progression imo.
Re6 was so much fun! Honestly one of my fondest memories came from that game. It gave you so much and splitting it up between the different stories helped to alleviate burnout!
As a huge Resident Evil fan, I fucking love this game. It's just so insane and fun, I played through it and immediately played through it again with my best friend
Idc what anyone says. This game is a blast! My fiancée played through these with me, which is a rarity with shooters. She loved them, too. Made for a fun couch coop experience.
@@rezz5570 I think you mean that the franchise shouldn’t be, and I get you. It’s by no means my favorite in the franchise, but I like the action approach more here.
is the co op or versus rather active in 2024? i was thinking about trying re6 as i saw alot of friends on list were playing re5 and operation racoon city recently. i like where there's a team deathmatch happening but with extra zombies on map for added distractions, i think it's team survivor is what it's called and i'm hoping that's in re6 as i'll enjoy that.
It's less clunky than RE5 but also a lot more disjointed, really fun solo and awesome in co-op. It had the ambitions to be a crazy and epic action game and if you allow yourself to indulge in its insanity and stupidity it can be an easy recommend
I would heavily disagree.... The camera angles and combat are subpar in comparison to 5 or 4.... Traded uppercuts & roundhouse kicks for silly ass Judo throws.... Chris' overhead slam throw was pretty good though 😆
@@Scrotal_Kahn Honestly I dunno how people can say it's less clunky. Earlier today with Chris: > Want to aim at enemy, ground shakes and can't shoot. Enemy shoots me. > Want to aim at the same enemy, camera shakes and shots miss. Then camera shakes again and another shot misses. > Now 3rd attempt wanting to aim at same enemy, a f***ing car is thrown from the back. > I run around the car to kill the enemy, and it's dead. > I run away and dodge the big enemy. Then get hit from a random sniper from a roof with no lasersight in sight and big enemy stomps on me, instantly killing me. Easily the 2nd worst aiming system of any RE game. The aiming system's bad, but then there's all the crap around it that make it almost unplayable. The worst is still the aiming in Darkside Chronicles though. It was perfect in Umbrella Chronicles, but for some reason in Darkside they decided to make the camera extremely shaky to make it almost impossible to actually properly aim. Honestly if they fixed that the game would be the best rail shooter ever made, but instead it's just very frustrating solely because of the trash aiming system (especially because the game wasn't designed around it. There's no shortage of moments where precision is required, but simply isn't possible because of the awful camera movement).
I played Resi 6 first time this summer. My only gripe with it , it's too long , 4 campaigns ! My favourite was actually Chris's and Ada's. I played the ps4 version so no idea on the 7th gen versions. What was really cool was the online is still very very much active even in 2023.
I think saying it was "the most popular" isn't the same thing as highest selling. It was literally HATED at release and was ridiculously high volume trade in within the first week or so of it
Exactly. Honestly, I think Matty is a really nice-seeming dude, but the guy lets his own nostalgia for games blind him and passes things off as fact when they're just what he believes to be fact based on what he likes. RE6 was LOATHED at launch, more so than it is now since time has been slightly kinder to it than other awful games. But Matty makes it out to be popular and like it was just a mixed reception. @@itaybashan3757
@@RTX4050Games Yea i loved it and still do to this day. But I know and understand why many didn't like it. For me at this point it was more loving the characters and story then wanting a survival horror experience.
@@RTX4050Gamesdude… it was pretty widely known that more people hated it than loved it. Otherwise we wouldn’t be having this discussion right now. Just because there’s a moderate amount of people who can look back on it more fondly these days with a lot of retrospect and a multitude of great releases since, it doesn’t change the fact that by and large this game was a massive letdown to fans at the time. In fact, I remember just how stoked people were when R.E.7 finally dropped and it was a banger. They were ecstatic AS A DIRECT RESULT OF/REACTION TO RE6!
Really fun game. A lot of the hate is a result of the bandwagon effect. 6 isn’t perfect, but people just love to hate on it because it’s the popular thing to do.
At the time, it wasn't that great. Back then, people were dying for the franchise to return to its classic roots. However, when compared to today's modern crap, it's actually very good. It was released in both a finished and playable state, didn't take long to install, and was affordable.
@@beansofhorrorshalashaska6987 It is. These new remakes suck. Ruined story, characters, and gameplay. Also ruined the tone and atmosphere. The writing was atrocious and voice acting sucked. Soundtrack was lame or non-existent. UI is the same bland generic UI as every other RE engine game
The hate for RE6 is ridiculous. This game is so much better than fans give it credit for. Chris' Campaign is my favorite, the story told there is great. Not a masterpiece by any means but not garbage either. Solid game, I love it
5 is worse than 6 from a gameplay perspective objectively for one reason. AI partners being idiots in 5. If it's mandatory for me to play with someone else to have fun despite having a solo mode, it's a bad game. 6 doesn't have that problem. Any problems I have with 6 other than the bloat can be applied to RE5 where RE5 simply doesn't have enough.
First: I'm a huge fan of RE, this franchise has been with me since i was a kid with the classics 1,2,3. Second: My favourite RE game is the original RE 3. Third: I will always remember the night i played the demo of RE 6 and the day of it's launch, one of the most fun and hype moments any videogame has given to me. Fourth and last: As an RE fan i have this hot take on RE 6 and will have it till the end of my days. I LOVE RE 6. It's the perfect culmination of the playstyle and mechanics that were introduced in 4 and 5. I remember the days of RE 4 and 5 and heard fans complaining about why they couldn't move while aiming or do kicks on free will without stunning enemies. RE 6 delivered those and many more details to the gameplay but sadly it's too much action that took the spotlight and many don't see those details still to these days. Great video!
I have a soft spot for RE6. I don’t hate it, don’t like it as much as 5, but as a couch co op or online games go, it’s up there as a decent co op game. I do also like how the stories intertwine. It’s like the Simpson’s episode where it feels 3 different stories, but all connect in some ways. It’s called trilogy of error which is also based on a twilight zone
I really can't understand people who call themselves fans of the Resident evil franchise, hating this game. This game was a literal love letter to all previous Resident Evil titles before it, each chapter had a fitting type of atmosphere for each character's story. Leon and Helena had the traditional horror vibe, and traditional zombies RE is famous for, Chris and Piers had a more action packed, third person military game atmosphere, which fits because he is fight global bioterrorism, same with Jake and Sherry's campaign, only with the added bonus of playing as Wesker 2.0, and Ada Wongs campaign fits her as well, stealthy with the additional nod towards some of the classic puzzles from old RE. I really don't get the hate for the game.
RE6 is the RE that I have the most hours played in it because I played a lot of co-op and mercenaries. It was buggy and stepped away from the survival horror genre, but it was still fun for me and the people that I played with. So maybe not a great RE game, but wasn't a terrible game in general.
It was the first main game to have you shooting while you could move (to my knowledge). I like that Leon and Chris were given a shine. And their respective campaigns were bringing back the nostalgia. Like the campaign for Chris Redfield. It reminds me of re5 and Leon's has a more re2/4 vibe. While I think this game had a bit of an identity problem, I overall liked it.
I've been playing RE since day 1 and I quite liked 6 at the time. Way more than 5. I liked playing the online campaign with my friend, so I have nothing but fond memories. It didn't matter to me it wasn't survival horror, just that it was improved from RE5. And wow there are some awesome set pieces in this one.
I had THE MOST fun with this game back in the day. It’s literally 4 full campaigns. Playing with a friend and running into another group of 2 was AWESOME!
I've been saying it since release. Re6 is so much better then re5, while they are both action games instead of survival horror at least 6 has the controls to back up it's over the top action.
I have a love/hate relationship with this game, about 10/90. This is the most hollywood a RE game has ever been. 4 started the shift to being more action focused and 6 was just the inevitable conclusion. Explosions everywhere, motorcycles jumping over helicopters, fist fighting a giant monster over lava, fighter jets, they ripped off that scene from Armageddon in the Chris campaign. It feels like an 80s action movie. QTEs for days. QTEs everywhere. I hate them. I don't think they add anything to games other than pain in you hands. Rather than just watching a cut scene I am more focused on pressing buttons at the right time or I am going to have to do it all over again. RE6 even manages to screw that up too because often, you can do a QTE perfectly and the game will randomly fail you for no reason. But this is such a 2000s trend and this game was all over it. Speaking of QTEs there is an option in the settings that allow you to "auto-complete" QTEs. Problem is, this does not apply to all QTE segments and you have no idea which ones. Because the game does not explain this to you. Then there is how this game is obsessed with Ada. The events of this whole game boil down to one guy who was creepily fixated on Ada Wong. Simmons got Carla to undergo a procedure to look like Ada, she snapped and now wants to infect the world to get back at Simmons. Simmons is even growing clones of Ada. So Jake doesn't like his dad, who is Wesker by the way, but he also is ready to kill Chris for killing his dad? Earlier Jake was going on about how evil Wesker was, shouldn't he be more understanding that Chris just did what needed to be done? So Helena, for the early game continues to insist that they need to get to the cathedral. There is something Leon NEEDS to see or he just wouldn't believe her. Leon is the guy that survived Raccoon City, I think if there is anyone who is willing to believe it is him. It would have just been so much easier if she had just told Leon what was up from the beginning. But this point was just dragged out for the sake of suspense and drama. There was no reason to drag it out as long as they did. The hud is absolutely unfinished. It looks terrible. You can't tell the different bars apart. Health, Stamina, they all look the same. The inventory is shit. So for the sake of praising something about this game, the combat does feel good. Out of all the pre-new games the combat feels the best in this one. You can melee enemies to death and it is quite satisfying. Matt Mercer as Leon rocked it. I really like his performance in the movies. Laura Bailey gives Helena automatic points for likability. And this all I can think of.
always glad to hear someone talk nice about RE6. It's actually one of my favourite, and while not my first, it was the one that finally got me interested in the lore and characters and playing all the main titles (before the remakes, with exception of re1 remake). spoilers: Also Love the boss fights with Simmons being basicly this meat-transformer who just cannot die, its epic and cool, and fake Ada turning into this giant goop mass and taking over the whole ship, which actually was one of the reasons I played this game in the first place. Like I saw this boss online and just had to experience it for myself. Same way I got into bloodborne XD
I really liked it. I could see why some would have a problem with it, but the general globe-trotting, action-heavy demeanor and tone of the game was the right path at the time. In the old games, the characters were unprepared to be trapped in a mansion infested with zombies. Now, years later with BOWs on the world stage and governments actively pursuing countermeasures, how could every scenario these characters find themselves in be the same as what they were. I do, however, have three critiques for this video: 1) Ada's campaign actually was NOT available from the start. You had to complete the other three to get hers. Your general point still stands, though. 2) I HATE the RPG elements. We just have different tastes in games and that's fine. There's nothing wrong with you liking them. I just can't stand them. I think they are a mindless way to pad out the gameplay with useless crap. Even as someone who used to LOVE JRPGs, tediously wading through menu screens and comparing stats is just a waste of my precious time, as is looking around for "Skill Points". 3) "Chris encounters this Ada-like antagonistic figure. Maybe it's Ada, maybe it's not. I'm not saying anything because I don't want to spoil it." Dude, that's a lot of words for saying that the woman Chris encounters is actually an Ada imposter. Just say he encounters Ada who acts as an antagonistic force and avoid spoilers that way, or just say that the person you encounter isn't Ada. It's like when someone tells you "Oh, you like this character? Well, I don't wanna spoil anything, but don't get too attached."
Gameplay wise, 6 was GREAT. It was an action shooter, though, true. It feels like the story was heading in that direction, but if its a culminating story for a few characters, then it did a great job.
People always talk about how much they dislike the action and the gameplay and they say "its a bad game". But they ignore the story and how amazingly they put together the campaigns and how the characters meet again and all the little moments (chris vs. Leon, leon protecting Ada, jake and sherrys romance and how they are hunt by the ghost of their fathers). I like RE6 because it has a good story. Unfortunately capcom listened to unhappy gamers and so we got Re7 that has nothing really to do with RE and were the characters are so unimportant, the main character does bot even have a face.
Lol the favourite is Ada for sure.. sounds like you're not using the crossbow in the stealth sections...the crossbow is so satisfying to use once you get the rhyme.
Has the best "Arcade Mode" in the series-- meaning Mercs/Raid/etc. The bonus missions in 2make are great, RE5 mercs and 4make mercs are also highlights, but nothing tops RE6 mercs... ...it's the game's mechanics used to their full potential, with less worry on trying to add survival horror elements and more emphasis on being a badass. When you find yourself quick shooting a dog, diving onto your back to avoid a zombie cops gunfire, rolling to avoid crawlers as you shoot them, standing up, catching a Bloodshot midair and slamming your foot into it's heart, then decapitating a zombie with his own axe, stunning his buddy for a follow-up suplex, all in the span of about 15 sec, you truly feel like you're playing as Leon/etc.
I got Resident Evil 6 on day of release and I started on Chris and Piers campaign. For the first few hours I couldn't get into the controls and it was very action heavy and Call of Duty-esque. I was really disappointed. I pushed on for a few hours and it clicked! Really clicked. I loved it. The controls made sense. It is a brilliant ACTION game. I got 1000g (no multiplayer) and I enjoyed it so much. Leon and Helana's campaign was my favourite closely followed by Jake and Sherry's. Chris and Piers was definitely in last. The first few hours of Chris and Piers was poor and very brown. I love Resident Evil 6. Think I am the only one. The melee moves were really well implemented and the jumping back and rolling.
Cooperative was amazing so many good memories playing with my brothers not only that it was my first resident evil so I’ll always have a soft spot for it and would like more coop in future games personally
It’s really cool to hear people who enjoy this game explain what’s great about it, and why it’s their favorite. I personally don’t like parts of it and it gets really boring for me, but I’d rather listen to someone explain in detail why something is good rather than listening to a community of people who’ve never played the game.
Sue me, but I had a blast playing this game and Dead Space 3: the Leon campaign is a solid horror run; the Chris campaign did a great job explaining how the naive guy from RE1 or RE:CV got to be the cynic agent from REVIII; and Sherry and Jake have one of the best chemistries in the whole series. Dead Space 3 hit the sweet B-horror/action spot I wanted from the series.
It may have sold the most copies at the time, but it got mixed to average reviews. RE7 and RE2 remake are top of the list in terms of sales with over 13 million each, which tells you that the general public prefers true survival horror. I hope Capcom doesn't waste their time remaking 5 and 6. If they're going to remake anymore, either RE1 (without fixed camera angles) or Code Veronica would be cool.
Resident evil 6 is one of the most underrated games of all time. Is fun, edge of your seat action and is cannon with the resident evil time-line. Also I cried at the end of Chris campaign, its a real tear jerker.
Coop mode with a friend was mad fun. Leons game especially was great. Lots of plot and character development, too. Resident Evil 6 added life to chris and ada especially.
Bro omg i swear to god your story of being pulled over is the exact same memory i have tied to RE6. I remember my brother driving to the game stop and we got pulled over for a busted tail light hah man hearing that was insane. Props good video!
Nope. It's ambitious for sure, but not terrible. Out of the RE action era it feels the most fun in terms of how the characters move and shoot. I only really dislike the Ada campaign, the story overall is pretty bonkers, but I love it lol
Niceee. I never played 6, but i have it. Im replaying all RE games and showing them to my fiance. About to finish 4, and 6 is coming up soon. Im excited to give it a shot.
Had lots of fun with RE6, it's a good action game. The only things I really hated were the driving sections, but the story overall was pretty good! And I remember not intentionally playing THE BEST order for the campaigns. I started with Jake/Sherry then Chris, and by the time I got to Leon's campaign I was SO MAD and shocked with Ada just to find out it was actually Carla. To this day I still play the Mercenaries mode, I guess I'll try the campaign again after watching your video.
Honestly, yes it is. And I'm a HUGE RE fan. This is the only one i simply cannot finish. I remember being hyped for it because i absolutely loved re5 and i remember being like wtf why does this look worse? Then the gameplay felt like they were tryning to be something they weren't. It was like there was a crazy action explosion scene every 30 seconds. I stopped very early in leons campaign. It wasnt until 2016 i tried to replay this game on a whole new generation (ps4) with a buddy, and we stopped playing a couple hours into leons campaign lol (this was his first time playing re6 btw). I tried playing this game AGAIN on a whole new system (xbox series x) in 2022 with the same friend and the same exact shit lmao this time we got a lil farther but just stopped playing it eventually. I have passed and completed every other Resident Evil game but i honestly think this will always be the one that i will never finish. Idk we'll see, I'll probably give it another go on the ps6 in the future.
Imo, you’re missing out hard, especially since you “loved RE5”. This game is RE on steroids, and even manages to give you variety across its 4 campaigns. The 4 campaigns somewhat emulate RE’s greatest hits, while managing to do new stuff as well. The settings/environments alone would keep me hooked. It’s the most cinematic RE by far (but also the most bombastic, which is what I imagine you dislike).
I do not blame udders for "ruining horror games" when you consider one of the key devs behind Resident Evil 5 did not even realized it was not a "horror game" until the boulder punching scene some time before the actual launch... Resident Evil 6 "action horror" my posterior behind!
The problem is people compare these games to previous releases when should rate them based on their own merit. On its own, RE 6 is a good game overall.
Think about what you said. It's called resident evil 6 meaning a titled entry in the resident evil franchise. And traditionally resident evil is a horror franchise. So having this pure action game in a franchise that has traditionally been horror. It will get shit on by the original fans. Now I know resident evil 5 doesn't get as much hate. That game was the first bad game imo. Re6 just pushed it to the extreme.
@israelruiz8706 RE5 is a great game, just a bad Resident Evil game, just like RE4 was. Don't understand how people ridicule one but let the other slide when it's the same exact shit.
@@Turo602plz stop with this “it’s a good game but a bad x game” cliche. It’s a good game and a good resident evil game. Resident Evil has had so many different changes and the creator of the franchise himself made RE4 which would create the inevitable conclusion that is RE6
@JellyJman Pulling the creator card doesn't do much considering the RE4 we got wasn't the game he originally wanted to make and only exposes how little you know regarding the circumstances that led to RE4. The action era of RE games was popular with a crowd that didn't like Resident Evil games or always wanted to get into the series but couldn't because of tank controls and the general difficulty of figuring out survival horror games. Resident Evil 4 and 5 did really well both critically and financially because they were well-made games that appealed to a casual crowd who just wants to shoot things, which is why newcomers would often criticize the stop and shoot gameplay that was a staple of Resident Evil. Those were the people Capcom was catering to with Resident Evil 6 while trying to hook old fans in with Leon's zombie filled campaign. While it has interesting mechanics for an action game, it's so unfocused and unpolished and can in no way be considered an excellent game the way Resident Evil 4 or 5 are, and it sure as fuck isn't a Resident Evil game. Otherwise, the series wouldn't have had to go through another reboot, bringing back survival horror.
I used to play this game quite often on my PlayStation 3, and it was one of the first co-op games that I got one of my closest online friends to play with me. We ended up completing the game and doing almost every bit of side content for a good 200 hours. And I have to say that has got to have been one of the only times I played a game Co-op that I never regret. It's one of those gaming moments that sticks with you, and playing with him was a blast as we both went into the game thinking it was going to be trash but ended up liking it so much we bothered to pretty much 100% together. Unfortunately as time went on we separated as internet drama ended up dividing us and the gaming group we played with. But every time I see Resident Evil 6, I'm always reminded of the time that one of my first gaming Buddies completed a game with me. That aside, while I think the Resident Evil 4 remake has become one of my favorites, I still think this is one of the more fun games to play With Friends. Okay I wanted to add one last thing to this little mini opinion on Resident Evil 6, I just played it again and before I knew it I completed Leon's campaign in about 6 hours and 30 minutes straight. I never thought I would enjoy it as much as I used to, but hands down the gameplay holds up tremendously . The movement and overall Gunplay feel fantastic while the skill system add quite a bit of replay value. On top of that beating a campaign in like 6 hours with four of them in total means that you could sit down and probably play an entire campaign in one sitting. And normally I certain games deserve remakes but Resident Evil 6 doesn't feel like a game that needs a remake😊🎉
I hope RE returns to this gameplay, be spinoff or something else. The gunplay and movement mechanics are sublime and deserve to be in a better designed game
I think it makes sense within the lore. Chris, Leon, Ada, Sherry, Pierce or Piers however it's spelled, and Helena all have experienced zombies so it makes sense it's more action because they're older and aren't scared anymore so the horror aspects wouldn't make sense within the lore so it's a near perfect game not Resident Evil game but game
I don't think the game is particulary well designed, but it's still a guilty pleasure game for me. This game is basically 7th gen personified, because it has all of the 7th gen of gaming staples, like the super bombastic COD style action setpieces, the muted colors, the QTE's everywhere. The way it encapsulates the 7th gen quirks, it basically gives me nostalgia for that whole era.
Definitely not a masterpiece. And it’s fine to dislike it as a resident evil fan. it’s extremely different from the rest of the series and what made the series beloved in the first place.
This is my second favorite Resident Evil game. It was really fun and addicting to play. My favorite campaign was Leon's. I like the way he feels when I play him. I feel like a badass whenever I play him. My favorite memory of this game is playing the entire game with my sister.
Anyone else notice on the front of the box, it said “3 pack of decals” included, but when he opened it there was only a 2 pack of them inside? I think they left out the what I would of assumed is the Jake/Sherry set that should have been with the other 4 characters. Or I’m totally overthinking the whole thing.
Much like you, RE5 was my intro to resident evil. I was excited for RE6 months in advance and remember downloading pirated copies of the 2 demos just to play it a bit early. Both RE5 and RE6 will be remembered fondly by me.
NGL, when i first played RE6 i found it annoying but as i got older i found it fun. Dunno what to say about that, but RE6 is one of those games i can goof off in and laugh at dumb deaths.
It sold the most so technically everyone complaining mightve been lying. RE5 was too different for those same people to think, 'oh this will be like 4'. Also RE6 is probably the best 3rd person action shooter to exist
As a fan of the action/horror RE games, I see the animated movies of RE that come out; the spiritual successor to that version of the franchise. The newer games are more horror based and the CG films continue the action timeline.
I agree, seeing so much shit thrown at RE6 online kind of made me feel bad for the developers. You can clearly see that in RE6 they have used the content created over the time since, as far as I understand, as far back as pre RE4 time (back when some of those concepts apparently ended up being the Devil May Cry), so like a decade or so. Not all of this content is exactly top notch great so it is easy to see why it was cut out originally but it still is a very high quality stuff. Including it into the game was also a way to honor the work of all those hundreds of people who created it over the years -- I mean, it must be thousands and thousands of man-hours to create content that otherwise would never be used. Making such a creative decision, I would do the same. So I have definitely appreciated RE6 first time in 2024. It still looks great, fun to play, and certain story elements and humor are very appreciatable.
I consider as a gem in RE and is unironically my favourite. It is very much an RE game and good one at that. It's just one that is unorthodox for the majority of the audience of RE though it is still no less valid.
I honestly enjoyed my playtrough this year more then i would have expected before hand, and the game also has a kind of THICKness to it that also was very welcome
the people in these comments that like re6 are my people, i cant believe this game is so hated within the re fandom. its definitely a great action game, minus all the QTEs
Bad RE6 press was just filled with people who didn't play it, people who don't like Capcom, people who don't like the RE series, people who don't like Japanese games, people who don't like the horror genre, RE fans who got burnt out after RE4&5... just all the wrong people with nothing but disingenuous takes.
Resident evil 6 was my first resident evil game that I have played and no matter how much people thrash on it, say how much they hate it I could never bring myself to hate it. I know it isn’t a resident evil game (far from it) but it was the game that introduced me and made me play other games and I cannot help but to appreciate it. It introduced me to an amazing series with amazing characters that I’ve grown to love and appreciate over the years while playing other games and honestly nothing can beat my love for re6. Yes it’s all over the place with action and what not and yes it is nowhere near what a resident evil game should be but it grew on me so much. I replayed it so many times both solo or with my friends, played the mercenaries mode way too many times and played some online too. The side characters were so good and my favorite campaign was Sherry and Jakes campaign. The chemistry between Jake and Sherry is something I’ve never seen that good, beating any ship or couple in resident evil all together for me. The way it all goes from just a job, to them caring about each other, Jake getting protective over Sherry meanwhile Sherry goes from needing Jake for creating a vaccine to blaming herself for trusting Simmons and bringing Jake along in this mess over the course of 5 chapters is to me mind blowing on how they managed to create such a good story and good chemistry between these two characters that we unfortunately never see again and honestly I would love another game with Sherry and Jake as the main characters, teaming up once again just to see them together after the ending but I don’t think it will happen. My second favorite campaign is Chris and Peirs’ campaign. Not because of the action but because of their dynamic and their story. Overall I think that re6 introduced amazing side characters and was a great action game but nowhere near what a resident evil game should be.
If it hadn't been attached to the RE franchise and been its one thing it would have been better received. That was the era of wacky, over the top 3rd person shooters like Vanquish, Army Of Two, Just Cause 2, Lost Planet, Wet and so many more
I never really played it, but i have no complaints about it. Resident evil gave us all a handful of fun to play games, made us feel capable of defeating evil, and had a variety of gameplay styles. Personally, Resident evil 4 for the wii was my favorite experience, felt like resident evil anime... 6 probably had that feeling with a basic anolog controller from what i see and remember...
It's a fun zombie shooter. It would've been a top tier game, had it been labeled anything but "Resident Evil". The 6th installment is an insult to the previous games. They saw the controversy from 5, and made it worse by giving us an all out third person shooter. Rather than an actual, survival horror experience. Which is what made the previous titles, good.
Resident evil 6 sold alot because it looked hype until we played it. Capcom made a smart decision going back to horror,because alot of fans check out after six,and were surprised how good Resident evil 7 was.
I love this game. I got it in 2013 and played it for hours. I used to play it when taking a break from studying. I loved the amount of content and wish we had more games like it. I'll admit that the story bits are wild with qtes but gameplay was too much fun especially in mercenaries.
I love how people act like almost every resident evil game doesn't end in some kind of action scene re1 go from slow ass zombie to fast hunters that can one shot you and whatever those bug things are in the lab
It felt nothing like a RE game, aside from having familiar RE characters. Yet, it was some the best fun I had with any RE game. The variety in set pieces was awesome.
It’s not , it’s one of those games that people hated on and of course the sheep will follow , just like it’s happening for exoprimal , that’s why I’m happy I’m my own god damn person, cuz I experience shit people take for granted
RE6 is that one game everyone hates that i will always defend to the death. it is flawed yes, but it is one of the most fun silly action games ever. if you like games like Vanquish and Bulletstorm, RE6 is a great time.
The game was really nice. Personally, the only thing that was an off for me while playing was the colors, but otherwise this is a very good game. I think people who say they don't like it or hate it don't know or can't remember that it was one of the most popular and widely sold RE games, together with 5. And because of the remakes (as well as RE7 and 8) it gets a lot of hate because it's not scary and it's about action and co-op instead. That's honestly pretty unfair. :/
I love this game so much because it was the first RE game that friends were willing to play because we could Coop, I know it’s not a “horror survivor” like the classics, the way the stories intertwined was a nice idea, and for the animated RE movies fans this game had amazing cinematics
Honestly the biggest problem I have with it is they nearly had all the ogs there but instead of Claire you get a blanted ripoff with Helena and instead of Jill you get pierse like c'mon crapcom like you can't tell me they didn't purposefully give Helena a red vest and cowboy boots to gets fans hopes up
Honestly it could had probably been better if it was Claire and Jill but I guess the stories would had to be way different and it was probably done so that new players (which Capcom clearly wanted) wouldn’t feel out of the loop not understanding over 10 years of prior game history and lore
I legitimately played this game, and enjoyed it, but not at all because it was a good game. Me and a friend co-opped it on Xbox live and complained about it and laughed at it's ridiculousness the entire time, and that made it fun. But as a game, if I played it alone, I would not have good memories of it.
Leon - classic zombies
Chris - b.o.w. that can shoot back
Jake - escaping
Ada - filling in the gap.
The movement in this game was so damn fun. Ducking, diving and dodging around felt so smooth.
I agree, younger me was so blown away with the gameplay
Helena with her Hydra 💕
The movement is terrible
@@cheesecracker9884 sure kiddo
More like the movement is useless and you do better without it
I don't care what anyone says; this game is fun as hell.
Gay*
It's an excellent 3rd person shooter with good mechanics, but it's a TERRIBLE Resident Evil game.
I think the consensus is that RE5 and 6 aren’t bad games, they’re just bad RE games, not because they’re not fun but because they’re way too action heavy and no longer feel like RE, they feel like a completely different series
Doesn't change the fact that its a bad re game?
@@Actionfigure_fit Because RE4 didn't have a giant robot? That seems pretty action heavy if you ask me. I'm sorry, too action heavy is a poor argument to claim something isn't a good RE game.
Ada's campaign was intended to be the last played. Initially, you had to beat the other three campaigns to unlock Ada's campaign. An update to the game enabled you to play Ada's campaign whenever you chose after the intro segment.
Yeah it feels much better to play it as reward for doing all three first.
@@ThexXxXxOLOxXxXx I use to play a lot. But now I understand that Re6 was just so bad.
Why is every youtuber afraid to say they like 5 or 6 without some underhanded remark. Its so annoying, almost like theyre afraid the masses wont like their video or unsubscribe.
People forget 5 & 6 were Capcoms best selling games ever before the remake of 2.
People bought them, played them and liked them. Great video by the way
This game feels like 4 Resident Evil games each with their own theme and feel and I love that.
Its just like some action thriller movie nothing close to what Resident Evil is supposed to be. Like Re2 Remake
Resident evil never felt like horror gore to me, it felt like an endless chase due to humans and science, and this is just a high action part of the story, it’s will always be my favorite Res to actually play
The gameplay is really fun and addicting, the graphics are pretty great for the time, and it was loaded with so much content. Four diffrent campaigns, tons of collectables, and several extra modes that are really addicting. What killed it was being called Resident Evil. If it was a new ip or anything else it would get a lot of praise.
Nah it was bad
@@JustSendMeLocationit tried to be too many things at once
Resident evil stories outside of the original are terrible.
Four different campaigns full of nonsense, scripted Hollywood
You're right, you could find something good in it... if it was called Call of Duty instead of Resident Evil
It's a good action game, but in my mind I expected a survival horror game called Resident Evil. So yeah it was that bad for Resident Evil games.
We already have TON of great action game out there.
I actually liked re6. I loved that they had 3 different stories and wasn’t lazy about it. All three stories connected to each other and they had A separate story for Ada.
right this game gets too much shit 🥲 I think the majority of it comes from the execution
4 stories's great value for the money and very smooth and cool mechanics and action, but definitely not survival horror if they named it differently maybe the reception would've been much better
Yes sir!!!
Epic game, only issue to me is that it drags after a while in the campaigns.
It's by no means perfect, but I feel this game got bad talked so much by the media, especially those who didn't even play it, and then no one gave it a chance. I enjoyed it a lot, and think it has some of the most emotional story beats in the whole franchise, especially in Chris' story like you mentioned. Very cool to see you give this game a fair shake, and even recommend it to people!
I played it. I tried to find the positive with the game and I can’t finished it. I wanted to experience the story in order. So I looked at a guide to get the order of each missions. So that way I can try everyone’s playstyle. It’s not good. I’m so glad capcom listened to the fans and went back to its roots.
"the media" gave it 7s and 8s out of 10 across the board.
Let's not rewrite history here....
@@ParanoiDave True, some did. Moreso on podcasts and videos over the years, it's just devolved to "that game sucks", "no one played it", "everyone hates it", etc.
for real i had the most fun with my best friend, first campaign was abit slow and scary second was full of action, the one where Piers died was very sad, i feel like in todays time people cant find there own opinion, they will enjoy something then look online and see that it got a general bad perception and then instantly had said thing.
@@3KURIS I literally formed my own opinion. I tried the game and it’s not a good game. I’m usually not critical of games but this game but I couldn’t find a positive thing to say about it.
I didn’t think it was as bad as everyone said. We all bought RE5 so CAPCOM thought we wanted a co-op action game and that’s what they gave us
that's all i want 😢😂
To me as a fan, I think action is a natural progression this game is good to be.
You have a character that goes through that thing, of course they'll be afraid. Now they have grown to know the horror of the world, and we expect them to be the same scared kid that we met the first time?
Exactly what I thought and we can see that between the earlier games. From being able to dodge or do stun finishers RE6's gameplay was a natural progression imo.
Yes, I expect them to be goddam traumatized!
The characters were brave in the first games. The environment turned from survival horror to action shooter. It’s not about the character development.
No, then you switch characters.
@@rodrigoibaceta3938 to be fair, I think trauma may have a different response depending on the person and the situation
The cover art gets me everytime. I cant unsee it. That poor girl.
Re6 was so much fun! Honestly one of my fondest memories came from that game. It gave you so much and splitting it up between the different stories helped to alleviate burnout!
As a huge Resident Evil fan, I fucking love this game. It's just so insane and fun, I played through it and immediately played through it again with my best friend
Idc what anyone says. This game is a blast! My fiancée played through these with me, which is a rarity with shooters. She loved them, too. Made for a fun couch coop experience.
It was so fun to play this co-op
This game isn't really supposed to be a shooter only game. It lost all the horror aspects and storyline.
@@rezz5570 I think you mean that the franchise shouldn’t be, and I get you. It’s by no means my favorite in the franchise, but I like the action approach more here.
is the co op or versus rather active in 2024? i was thinking about trying re6 as i saw alot of friends on list were playing re5 and operation racoon city recently. i like where there's a team deathmatch happening but with extra zombies on map for added distractions, i think it's team survivor is what it's called and i'm hoping that's in re6 as i'll enjoy that.
It's less clunky than RE5 but also a lot more disjointed, really fun solo and awesome in co-op. It had the ambitions to be a crazy and epic action game and if you allow yourself to indulge in its insanity and stupidity it can be an easy recommend
I would heavily disagree....
The camera angles and combat are subpar in comparison to 5 or 4....
Traded uppercuts & roundhouse kicks for silly ass Judo throws....
Chris' overhead slam throw was pretty good though 😆
@@Scrotal_Kahn Honestly I dunno how people can say it's less clunky. Earlier today with Chris:
> Want to aim at enemy, ground shakes and can't shoot. Enemy shoots me.
> Want to aim at the same enemy, camera shakes and shots miss. Then camera shakes again and another shot misses.
> Now 3rd attempt wanting to aim at same enemy, a f***ing car is thrown from the back.
> I run around the car to kill the enemy, and it's dead.
> I run away and dodge the big enemy. Then get hit from a random sniper from a roof with no lasersight in sight and big enemy stomps on me, instantly killing me.
Easily the 2nd worst aiming system of any RE game. The aiming system's bad, but then there's all the crap around it that make it almost unplayable. The worst is still the aiming in Darkside Chronicles though. It was perfect in Umbrella Chronicles, but for some reason in Darkside they decided to make the camera extremely shaky to make it almost impossible to actually properly aim. Honestly if they fixed that the game would be the best rail shooter ever made, but instead it's just very frustrating solely because of the trash aiming system (especially because the game wasn't designed around it. There's no shortage of moments where precision is required, but simply isn't possible because of the awful camera movement).
@@thenonexistinghero sounds like a skill issue
I played Resi 6 first time this summer. My only gripe with it , it's too long , 4 campaigns ! My favourite was actually Chris's and Ada's. I played the ps4 version so no idea on the 7th gen versions. What was really cool was the online is still very very much active even in 2023.
Too long ?! I wish all games where too long get my moneys worth
@@shodan2002oh boy then you must looooove AC Valhalla 😂😂😂
@@slayerBO2EPC No ubisoft sucks just like EA
I think saying it was "the most popular" isn't the same thing as highest selling. It was literally HATED at release and was ridiculously high volume trade in within the first week or so of it
Right, this game was one biggest examples of why you should think twice before pre-ordering a game..
Exactly. Honestly, I think Matty is a really nice-seeming dude, but the guy lets his own nostalgia for games blind him and passes things off as fact when they're just what he believes to be fact based on what he likes. RE6 was LOATHED at launch, more so than it is now since time has been slightly kinder to it than other awful games. But Matty makes it out to be popular and like it was just a mixed reception. @@itaybashan3757
Who hated it ? You? Did u went to everyone and asked them if they hated it?
@@RTX4050Games Yea i loved it and still do to this day. But I know and understand why many didn't like it. For me at this point it was more loving the characters and story then wanting a survival horror experience.
@@RTX4050Gamesdude… it was pretty widely known that more people hated it than loved it. Otherwise we wouldn’t be having this discussion right now. Just because there’s a moderate amount of people who can look back on it more fondly these days with a lot of retrospect and a multitude of great releases since, it doesn’t change the fact that by and large this game was a massive letdown to fans at the time. In fact, I remember just how stoked people were when R.E.7 finally dropped and it was a banger. They were ecstatic AS A DIRECT RESULT OF/REACTION TO RE6!
Really fun game. A lot of the hate is a result of the bandwagon effect. 6 isn’t perfect, but people just love to hate on it because it’s the popular thing to do.
The mercenaries - no mercy mode with a friend is PEAK gaming
At the time, it wasn't that great. Back then, people were dying for the franchise to return to its classic roots. However, when compared to today's modern crap, it's actually very good. It was released in both a finished and playable state, didn't take long to install, and was affordable.
You’re saying RE6 is better than RE 2 & 4 remakes? Holy crap, you’re delusional
@@beansofhorrorshalashaska6987 - Did I say that?
@@beansofhorrorshalashaska6987
It is. These new remakes suck. Ruined story, characters, and gameplay. Also ruined the tone and atmosphere. The writing was atrocious and voice acting sucked. Soundtrack was lame or non-existent. UI is the same bland generic UI as every other RE engine game
The hate for RE6 is ridiculous. This game is so much better than fans give it credit for. Chris' Campaign is my favorite, the story told there is great. Not a masterpiece by any means but not garbage either. Solid game, I love it
5 is worse than 6 from a gameplay perspective objectively for one reason. AI partners being idiots in 5. If it's mandatory for me to play with someone else to have fun despite having a solo mode, it's a bad game. 6 doesn't have that problem.
Any problems I have with 6 other than the bloat can be applied to RE5 where RE5 simply doesn't have enough.
First: I'm a huge fan of RE, this franchise has been with me since i was a kid with the classics 1,2,3. Second: My favourite RE game is the original RE 3. Third: I will always remember the night i played the demo of RE 6 and the day of it's launch, one of the most fun and hype moments any videogame has given to me. Fourth and last: As an RE fan i have this hot take on RE 6 and will have it till the end of my days. I LOVE RE 6. It's the perfect culmination of the playstyle and mechanics that were introduced in 4 and 5. I remember the days of RE 4 and 5 and heard fans complaining about why they couldn't move while aiming or do kicks on free will without stunning enemies. RE 6 delivered those and many more details to the gameplay but sadly it's too much action that took the spotlight and many don't see those details still to these days. Great video!
I have a soft spot for RE6. I don’t hate it, don’t like it as much as 5, but as a couch co op or online games go, it’s up there as a decent co op game. I do also like how the stories intertwine. It’s like the Simpson’s episode where it feels 3 different stories, but all connect in some ways. It’s called trilogy of error which is also based on a twilight zone
I really can't understand people who call themselves fans of the Resident evil franchise, hating this game. This game was a literal love letter to all previous Resident Evil titles before it, each chapter had a fitting type of atmosphere for each character's story. Leon and Helena had the traditional horror vibe, and traditional zombies RE is famous for, Chris and Piers had a more action packed, third person military game atmosphere, which fits because he is fight global bioterrorism, same with Jake and Sherry's campaign, only with the added bonus of playing as Wesker 2.0, and Ada Wongs campaign fits her as well, stealthy with the additional nod towards some of the classic puzzles from old RE. I really don't get the hate for the game.
I wouldn’t say it’s bad, just very different.
Same
RE6 is the RE that I have the most hours played in it because I played a lot of co-op and mercenaries. It was buggy and stepped away from the survival horror genre, but it was still fun for me and the people that I played with. So maybe not a great RE game, but wasn't a terrible game in general.
It was the first main game to have you shooting while you could move (to my knowledge). I like that Leon and Chris were given a shine. And their respective campaigns were bringing back the nostalgia. Like the campaign for Chris Redfield. It reminds me of re5 and Leon's has a more re2/4 vibe. While I think this game had a bit of an identity problem, I overall liked it.
I've been playing RE since day 1 and I quite liked 6 at the time. Way more than 5. I liked playing the online campaign with my friend, so I have nothing but fond memories. It didn't matter to me it wasn't survival horror, just that it was improved from RE5. And wow there are some awesome set pieces in this one.
I had THE MOST fun with this game back in the day. It’s literally 4 full campaigns. Playing with a friend and running into another group of 2 was AWESOME!
I've been saying it since release. Re6 is so much better then re5, while they are both action games instead of survival horror at least 6 has the controls to back up it's over the top action.
I have a love/hate relationship with this game, about 10/90.
This is the most hollywood a RE game has ever been. 4 started the shift to being more action focused and 6 was just the inevitable conclusion. Explosions everywhere, motorcycles jumping over helicopters, fist fighting a giant monster over lava, fighter jets, they ripped off that scene from Armageddon in the Chris campaign. It feels like an 80s action movie.
QTEs for days. QTEs everywhere. I hate them. I don't think they add anything to games other than pain in you hands. Rather than just watching a cut scene I am more focused on pressing buttons at the right time or I am going to have to do it all over again. RE6 even manages to screw that up too because often, you can do a QTE perfectly and the game will randomly fail you for no reason. But this is such a 2000s trend and this game was all over it.
Speaking of QTEs there is an option in the settings that allow you to "auto-complete" QTEs. Problem is, this does not apply to all QTE segments and you have no idea which ones. Because the game does not explain this to you.
Then there is how this game is obsessed with Ada. The events of this whole game boil down to one guy who was creepily fixated on Ada Wong. Simmons got Carla to undergo a procedure to look like Ada, she snapped and now wants to infect the world to get back at Simmons. Simmons is even growing clones of Ada.
So Jake doesn't like his dad, who is Wesker by the way, but he also is ready to kill Chris for killing his dad? Earlier Jake was going on about how evil Wesker was, shouldn't he be more understanding that Chris just did what needed to be done?
So Helena, for the early game continues to insist that they need to get to the cathedral. There is something Leon NEEDS to see or he just wouldn't believe her. Leon is the guy that survived Raccoon City, I think if there is anyone who is willing to believe it is him. It would have just been so much easier if she had just told Leon what was up from the beginning. But this point was just dragged out for the sake of suspense and drama. There was no reason to drag it out as long as they did.
The hud is absolutely unfinished. It looks terrible. You can't tell the different bars apart. Health, Stamina, they all look the same. The inventory is shit.
So for the sake of praising something about this game, the combat does feel good. Out of all the pre-new games the combat feels the best in this one. You can melee enemies to death and it is quite satisfying.
Matt Mercer as Leon rocked it. I really like his performance in the movies. Laura Bailey gives Helena automatic points for likability. And this all I can think of.
always glad to hear someone talk nice about RE6. It's actually one of my favourite, and while not my first, it was the one that finally got me interested in the lore and characters and playing all the main titles (before the remakes, with exception of re1 remake).
spoilers: Also Love the boss fights with Simmons being basicly this meat-transformer who just cannot die, its epic and cool, and fake Ada turning into this giant goop mass and taking over the whole ship, which actually was one of the reasons I played this game in the first place. Like I saw this boss online and just had to experience it for myself. Same way I got into bloodborne XD
I really liked it. I could see why some would have a problem with it, but the general globe-trotting, action-heavy demeanor and tone of the game was the right path at the time. In the old games, the characters were unprepared to be trapped in a mansion infested with zombies. Now, years later with BOWs on the world stage and governments actively pursuing countermeasures, how could every scenario these characters find themselves in be the same as what they were.
I do, however, have three critiques for this video:
1) Ada's campaign actually was NOT available from the start. You had to complete the other three to get hers. Your general point still stands, though.
2) I HATE the RPG elements. We just have different tastes in games and that's fine. There's nothing wrong with you liking them. I just can't stand them. I think they are a mindless way to pad out the gameplay with useless crap. Even as someone who used to LOVE JRPGs, tediously wading through menu screens and comparing stats is just a waste of my precious time, as is looking around for "Skill Points".
3) "Chris encounters this Ada-like antagonistic figure. Maybe it's Ada, maybe it's not. I'm not saying anything because I don't want to spoil it."
Dude, that's a lot of words for saying that the woman Chris encounters is actually an Ada imposter. Just say he encounters Ada who acts as an antagonistic force and avoid spoilers that way, or just say that the person you encounter isn't Ada. It's like when someone tells you "Oh, you like this character? Well, I don't wanna spoil anything, but don't get too attached."
Gameplay wise, 6 was GREAT. It was an action shooter, though, true. It feels like the story was heading in that direction, but if its a culminating story for a few characters, then it did a great job.
People always talk about how much they dislike the action and the gameplay and they say "its a bad game". But they ignore the story and how amazingly they put together the campaigns and how the characters meet again and all the little moments (chris vs. Leon, leon protecting Ada, jake and sherrys romance and how they are hunt by the ghost of their fathers). I like RE6 because it has a good story. Unfortunately capcom listened to unhappy gamers and so we got Re7 that has nothing really to do with RE and were the characters are so unimportant, the main character does bot even have a face.
Lol the favourite is Ada for sure.. sounds like you're not using the crossbow in the stealth sections...the crossbow is so satisfying to use once you get the rhyme.
Has the best "Arcade Mode" in the series-- meaning Mercs/Raid/etc. The bonus missions in 2make are great, RE5 mercs and 4make mercs are also highlights, but nothing tops RE6 mercs...
...it's the game's mechanics used to their full potential, with less worry on trying to add survival horror elements and more emphasis on being a badass. When you find yourself quick shooting a dog, diving onto your back to avoid a zombie cops gunfire, rolling to avoid crawlers as you shoot them, standing up, catching a Bloodshot midair and slamming your foot into it's heart, then decapitating a zombie with his own axe, stunning his buddy for a follow-up suplex, all in the span of about 15 sec, you truly feel like you're playing as Leon/etc.
One of my favorite Resident Evil games. Even more fun with two players.
I got Resident Evil 6 on day of release and I started on Chris and Piers campaign. For the first few hours I couldn't get into the controls and it was very action heavy and Call of Duty-esque. I was really disappointed. I pushed on for a few hours and it clicked! Really clicked. I loved it. The controls made sense. It is a brilliant ACTION game. I got 1000g (no multiplayer) and I enjoyed it so much. Leon and Helana's campaign was my favourite closely followed by Jake and Sherry's. Chris and Piers was definitely in last. The first few hours of Chris and Piers was poor and very brown. I love Resident Evil 6. Think I am the only one. The melee moves were really well implemented and the jumping back and rolling.
Cooperative was amazing so many good memories playing with my brothers not only that it was my first resident evil so I’ll always have a soft spot for it and would like more coop in future games personally
It’s really cool to hear people who enjoy this game explain what’s great about it, and why it’s their favorite. I personally don’t like parts of it and it gets really boring for me, but I’d rather listen to someone explain in detail why something is good rather than listening to a community of people who’ve never played the game.
Sue me, but I had a blast playing this game and Dead Space 3: the Leon campaign is a solid horror run; the Chris campaign did a great job explaining how the naive guy from RE1 or RE:CV got to be the cynic agent from REVIII; and Sherry and Jake have one of the best chemistries in the whole series. Dead Space 3 hit the sweet B-horror/action spot I wanted from the series.
Those two games are where my friend and I found the most fun. The other two we enjoyed quite a bit was Dying light and Sniper Elite 4
It may have sold the most copies at the time, but it got mixed to average reviews. RE7 and RE2 remake are top of the list in terms of sales with over 13 million each, which tells you that the general public prefers true survival horror. I hope Capcom doesn't waste their time remaking 5 and 6. If they're going to remake anymore, either RE1 (without fixed camera angles) or Code Veronica would be cool.
Resident evil 6 is one of the most underrated games of all time. Is fun, edge of your seat action and is cannon with the resident evil time-line. Also I cried at the end of Chris campaign, its a real tear jerker.
Coop mode with a friend was mad fun. Leons game especially was great.
Lots of plot and character development, too. Resident Evil 6 added life to chris and ada especially.
Helena is my goddess. Change my mind.
Bro omg i swear to god your story of being pulled over is the exact same memory i have tied to RE6. I remember my brother driving to the game stop and we got pulled over for a busted tail light hah man hearing that was insane. Props good video!
Nope. It's ambitious for sure, but not terrible. Out of the RE action era it feels the most fun in terms of how the characters move and shoot. I only really dislike the Ada campaign, the story overall is pretty bonkers, but I love it lol
Niceee. I never played 6, but i have it. Im replaying all RE games and showing them to my fiance. About to finish 4, and 6 is coming up soon. Im excited to give it a shot.
I’m first just because re6 got my boy Leon 🤧
Had lots of fun with RE6, it's a good action game. The only things I really hated were the driving sections, but the story overall was pretty good!
And I remember not intentionally playing THE BEST order for the campaigns. I started with Jake/Sherry then Chris, and by the time I got to Leon's campaign I was SO MAD and shocked with Ada just to find out it was actually Carla.
To this day I still play the Mercenaries mode, I guess I'll try the campaign again after watching your video.
Honestly, yes it is. And I'm a HUGE RE fan. This is the only one i simply cannot finish. I remember being hyped for it because i absolutely loved re5 and i remember being like wtf why does this look worse? Then the gameplay felt like they were tryning to be something they weren't. It was like there was a crazy action explosion scene every 30 seconds. I stopped very early in leons campaign. It wasnt until 2016 i tried to replay this game on a whole new generation (ps4) with a buddy, and we stopped playing a couple hours into leons campaign lol (this was his first time playing re6 btw). I tried playing this game AGAIN on a whole new system (xbox series x) in 2022 with the same friend and the same exact shit lmao this time we got a lil farther but just stopped playing it eventually. I have passed and completed every other Resident Evil game but i honestly think this will always be the one that i will never finish. Idk we'll see, I'll probably give it another go on the ps6 in the future.
Imo, you’re missing out hard, especially since you “loved RE5”. This game is RE on steroids, and even manages to give you variety across its 4 campaigns. The 4 campaigns somewhat emulate RE’s greatest hits, while managing to do new stuff as well. The settings/environments alone would keep me hooked. It’s the most cinematic RE by far (but also the most bombastic, which is what I imagine you dislike).
I do not blame udders for "ruining horror games" when you consider one of the key devs behind Resident Evil 5 did not even realized it was not a "horror game" until the boulder punching scene some time before the actual launch...
Resident Evil 6 "action horror" my posterior behind!
The problem is people compare these games to previous releases when should rate them based on their own merit. On its own, RE 6 is a good game overall.
No
Think about what you said.
It's called resident evil 6 meaning a titled entry in the resident evil franchise. And traditionally resident evil is a horror franchise.
So having this pure action game in a franchise that has traditionally been horror. It will get shit on by the original fans.
Now I know resident evil 5 doesn't get as much hate. That game was the first bad game imo. Re6 just pushed it to the extreme.
@israelruiz8706 RE5 is a great game, just a bad Resident Evil game, just like RE4 was. Don't understand how people ridicule one but let the other slide when it's the same exact shit.
@@Turo602plz stop with this “it’s a good game but a bad x game” cliche. It’s a good game and a good resident evil game. Resident Evil has had so many different changes and the creator of the franchise himself made RE4 which would create the inevitable conclusion that is RE6
@JellyJman Pulling the creator card doesn't do much considering the RE4 we got wasn't the game he originally wanted to make and only exposes how little you know regarding the circumstances that led to RE4.
The action era of RE games was popular with a crowd that didn't like Resident Evil games or always wanted to get into the series but couldn't because of tank controls and the general difficulty of figuring out survival horror games.
Resident Evil 4 and 5 did really well both critically and financially because they were well-made games that appealed to a casual crowd who just wants to shoot things, which is why newcomers would often criticize the stop and shoot gameplay that was a staple of Resident Evil.
Those were the people Capcom was catering to with Resident Evil 6 while trying to hook old fans in with Leon's zombie filled campaign. While it has interesting mechanics for an action game, it's so unfocused and unpolished and can in no way be considered an excellent game the way Resident Evil 4 or 5 are, and it sure as fuck isn't a Resident Evil game. Otherwise, the series wouldn't have had to go through another reboot, bringing back survival horror.
I used to play this game quite often on my PlayStation 3, and it was one of the first co-op games that I got one of my closest online friends to play with me. We ended up completing the game and doing almost every bit of side content for a good 200 hours.
And I have to say that has got to have been one of the only times I played a game Co-op that I never regret. It's one of those gaming moments that sticks with you, and playing with him was a blast as we both went into the game thinking it was going to be trash but ended up liking it so much we bothered to pretty much 100% together.
Unfortunately as time went on we separated as internet drama ended up dividing us and the gaming group we played with.
But every time I see Resident Evil 6, I'm always reminded of the time that one of my first gaming Buddies completed a game with me.
That aside, while I think the Resident Evil 4 remake has become one of my favorites, I still think this is one of the more fun games to play With Friends.
Okay I wanted to add one last thing to this little mini opinion on Resident Evil 6, I just played it again and before I knew it I completed Leon's campaign in about 6 hours and 30 minutes straight. I never thought I would enjoy it as much as I used to, but hands down the gameplay holds up tremendously . The movement and overall Gunplay feel fantastic while the skill system add quite a bit of replay value. On top of that beating a campaign in like 6 hours with four of them in total means that you could sit down and probably play an entire campaign in one sitting. And normally I certain games deserve remakes but Resident Evil 6 doesn't feel like a game that needs a remake😊🎉
I hope RE returns to this gameplay, be spinoff or something else. The gunplay and movement mechanics are sublime and deserve to be in a better designed game
I hope not
I think it makes sense within the lore. Chris, Leon, Ada, Sherry, Pierce or Piers however it's spelled, and Helena all have experienced zombies so it makes sense it's more action because they're older and aren't scared anymore so the horror aspects wouldn't make sense within the lore so it's a near perfect game not Resident Evil game but game
YES, it's worse worse worst
Zero is the worst numbered one
I'm fairly certain in my 3 or 4 playthroughs of RE6 in my lifetime, I never knew you could take cover in this game 😅
YES it fkn is!!!
No it fkn ain't!!!
@@blade5883 Keep playing garbage you weirdo
I don't think the game is particulary well designed, but it's still a guilty pleasure game for me. This game is basically 7th gen personified, because it has all of the 7th gen of gaming staples, like the super bombastic COD style action setpieces, the muted colors, the QTE's everywhere. The way it encapsulates the 7th gen quirks, it basically gives me nostalgia for that whole era.
This game is a masterpiece. If ya’ll hate it then you’re not a resident evil fan. Period
Definitely not a masterpiece. And it’s fine to dislike it as a resident evil fan. it’s extremely different from the rest of the series and what made the series beloved in the first place.
Didnt this game like almost kill resident evil franchise if it wasnt fot RE7🧍
Yo Facts
@@theholypickle4861
Nope. That was the so called “fans” going through a phase
@@Mr.Drew70 idk man id choose the voices of the entire fanbase vs one dude
I got to use martial arts to punch a giant monster with a drill hand into lava while wearing a dog tag that said "Rock Hard Buns", so I had fun.
This is my second favorite Resident Evil game. It was really fun and addicting to play. My favorite campaign was Leon's. I like the way he feels when I play him. I feel like a badass whenever I play him. My favorite memory of this game is playing the entire game with my sister.
Anyone else notice on the front of the box, it said “3 pack of decals” included, but when he opened it there was only a 2 pack of them inside? I think they left out the what I would of assumed is the Jake/Sherry set that should have been with the other 4 characters.
Or I’m totally overthinking the whole thing.
Much like you, RE5 was my intro to resident evil. I was excited for RE6 months in advance and remember downloading pirated copies of the 2 demos just to play it a bit early. Both RE5 and RE6 will be remembered fondly by me.
NGL, when i first played RE6 i found it annoying but as i got older i found it fun. Dunno what to say about that, but RE6 is one of those games i can goof off in and laugh at dumb deaths.
No, it's not. I had loads of fun with RE6. And I've been playing RE since the 90s.
Happy Halloween bro!
I appreciate how you find the good in games that were widely panned. In that regard, you remind me of Happy Console Gamer when he's at his best.
I played this game on the 'no hope' difficulty and i loved it, i was limping the whole time without ammo and struggling to get by
It sold the most so technically everyone complaining mightve been lying. RE5 was too different for those same people to think, 'oh this will be like 4'. Also RE6 is probably the best 3rd person action shooter to exist
As a fan of the action/horror RE games, I see the animated movies of RE that come out; the spiritual successor to that version of the franchise. The newer games are more horror based and the CG films continue the action timeline.
I agree, seeing so much shit thrown at RE6 online kind of made me feel bad for the developers. You can clearly see that in RE6 they have used the content created over the time since, as far as I understand, as far back as pre RE4 time (back when some of those concepts apparently ended up being the Devil May Cry), so like a decade or so. Not all of this content is exactly top notch great so it is easy to see why it was cut out originally but it still is a very high quality stuff. Including it into the game was also a way to honor the work of all those hundreds of people who created it over the years -- I mean, it must be thousands and thousands of man-hours to create content that otherwise would never be used. Making such a creative decision, I would do the same. So I have definitely appreciated RE6 first time in 2024. It still looks great, fun to play, and certain story elements and humor are very appreciatable.
Me and a friend played it recently and had a good time. Feels like playing a Michael Bay movie, with all the amusing absurdity that entails
I consider as a gem in RE and is unironically my favourite. It is very much an RE game and good one at that. It's just one that is unorthodox for the majority of the audience of RE though it is still no less valid.
I honestly enjoyed my playtrough this year more then i would have expected before hand, and the game also has a kind of THICKness to it that also was very welcome
the people in these comments that like re6 are my people, i cant believe this game is so hated within the re fandom. its definitely a great action game, minus all the QTEs
Bad RE6 press was just filled with people who didn't play it, people who don't like Capcom, people who don't like the RE series, people who don't like Japanese games, people who don't like the horror genre, RE fans who got burnt out after RE4&5... just all the wrong people with nothing but disingenuous takes.
I honestly loved RE6 I loved the fact that Leon was going through his trauma from RE2 all over again.
Resident evil 6 was my first resident evil game that I have played and no matter how much people thrash on it, say how much they hate it I could never bring myself to hate it. I know it isn’t a resident evil game (far from it) but it was the game that introduced me and made me play other games and I cannot help but to appreciate it. It introduced me to an amazing series with amazing characters that I’ve grown to love and appreciate over the years while playing other games and honestly nothing can beat my love for re6. Yes it’s all over the place with action and what not and yes it is nowhere near what a resident evil game should be but it grew on me so much. I replayed it so many times both solo or with my friends, played the mercenaries mode way too many times and played some online too. The side characters were so good and my favorite campaign was Sherry and Jakes campaign. The chemistry between Jake and Sherry is something I’ve never seen that good, beating any ship or couple in resident evil all together for me. The way it all goes from just a job, to them caring about each other, Jake getting protective over Sherry meanwhile Sherry goes from needing Jake for creating a vaccine to blaming herself for trusting Simmons and bringing Jake along in this mess over the course of 5 chapters is to me mind blowing on how they managed to create such a good story and good chemistry between these two characters that we unfortunately never see again and honestly I would love another game with Sherry and Jake as the main characters, teaming up once again just to see them together after the ending but I don’t think it will happen. My second favorite campaign is Chris and Peirs’ campaign. Not because of the action but because of their dynamic and their story. Overall I think that re6 introduced amazing side characters and was a great action game but nowhere near what a resident evil game should be.
re6 was an OK coop game. I liked how there were multiple campaigns to play through.
If it hadn't been attached to the RE franchise and been its one thing it would have been better received. That was the era of wacky, over the top 3rd person shooters like Vanquish, Army Of Two, Just Cause 2, Lost Planet, Wet and so many more
I never really played it, but i have no complaints about it. Resident evil gave us all a handful of fun to play games, made us feel capable of defeating evil, and had a variety of gameplay styles.
Personally, Resident evil 4 for the wii was my favorite experience, felt like resident evil anime... 6 probably had that feeling with a basic anolog controller from what i see and remember...
It's a fun zombie shooter. It would've been a top tier game, had it been labeled anything but "Resident Evil". The 6th installment is an insult to the previous games. They saw the controversy from 5, and made it worse by giving us an all out third person shooter. Rather than an actual, survival horror experience. Which is what made the previous titles, good.
Resident evil 6 sold alot because it looked hype until we played it. Capcom made a smart decision going back to horror,because alot of fans check out after six,and were surprised how good Resident evil 7 was.
I love this game. I got it in 2013 and played it for hours. I used to play it when taking a break from studying. I loved the amount of content and wish we had more games like it. I'll admit that the story bits are wild with qtes but gameplay was too much fun especially in mercenaries.
I love how people act like almost every resident evil game doesn't end in some kind of action scene re1 go from slow ass zombie to fast hunters that can one shot you and whatever those bug things are in the lab
It felt nothing like a RE game, aside from having familiar RE characters. Yet, it was some the best fun I had with any RE game. The variety in set pieces was awesome.
@@RRatedGamer your feelings are not mine
It’s not , it’s one of those games that people hated on and of course the sheep will follow , just like it’s happening for exoprimal , that’s why I’m happy I’m my own god damn person, cuz I experience shit people take for granted
Great co-op, particularly mercenaries. Once you get the hang of the controls, this game shines.
RE6 is that one game everyone hates that i will always defend to the death. it is flawed yes, but it is one of the most fun silly action games ever. if you like games like Vanquish and Bulletstorm, RE6 is a great time.
The game was really nice. Personally, the only thing that was an off for me while playing was the colors, but otherwise this is a very good game. I think people who say they don't like it or hate it don't know or can't remember that it was one of the most popular and widely sold RE games, together with 5. And because of the remakes (as well as RE7 and 8) it gets a lot of hate because it's not scary and it's about action and co-op instead. That's honestly pretty unfair. :/
Biohazard 5 Remake and Biohazard 6 Remake 01|01|1950 - 31|12|2050
I love this game so much because it was the first RE game that friends were willing to play because we could Coop, I know it’s not a “horror survivor” like the classics, the way the stories intertwined was a nice idea, and for the animated RE movies fans this game had amazing cinematics
Honestly the biggest problem I have with it is they nearly had all the ogs there but instead of Claire you get a blanted ripoff with Helena and instead of Jill you get pierse like c'mon crapcom like you can't tell me they didn't purposefully give Helena a red vest and cowboy boots to gets fans hopes up
Honestly it could had probably been better if it was Claire and Jill but I guess the stories would had to be way different and it was probably done so that new players (which Capcom clearly wanted) wouldn’t feel out of the loop not understanding over 10 years of prior game history and lore
Pierce tbf was in RE Live, so he was established. The problem is that it was a Japanese play.
It's very flawed but jumping backwards onto your back and shooting zombies is always fun.
Literally such a good feeling
Yes, this game is definitely the worst if not one of the worst in the series. This was a scary time for the resident evil franchise.
I legitimately played this game, and enjoyed it, but not at all because it was a good game. Me and a friend co-opped it on Xbox live and complained about it and laughed at it's ridiculousness the entire time, and that made it fun. But as a game, if I played it alone, I would not have good memories of it.
