- Resident Evil 6 left an indefinite stain on the legacy of Capcom. Being a far-cry from what fans grew to know and love about the series, the game represents a strange and awkward time in franchise history- but why? Tonight, we set out to find the answer.

Hey I found an insanely interesting site for you to check out!
Well TH-cam channel but is creepy af.
RE6 didn't fail, you sellout chode. Unsubbed from this garbage.
Creep by “fail”, he meant it was a lot more hated than the other games. don’t be rude, he’s using information from the consumers. plus he literally said it was a great game.
Creep
It failed because we didn’t have Chris punching a boulder
Needs more manly grunting.
Lol
i almost forgot about that meme.
Ward3n ikr? Why the fuck did Chris turn into a depressed tater.
Sarcasm. . . sarcasm never changes lol sorry, different game -- I know. But the joke came to me instantly when I saw the replies XD
"People hate re6 because its not the same game anymore"
assassin's creed : am i a joke to you?
I still enjoy Assassin's Creed and still buy their games Since I love the series even after Origins and Odyssey went with the RPG route.
Or maybe the horror become an action games
@HighWay Star Lame comment.
it's not really the same, Resident 6 completely drafted from it's original context, horror action, it became a sci-fi shooter which is why we don't like it as much because it was just soo different from what we were looking for. At least AC is a stealth acrobatic game all the time.
It works if it's executed well, the narrator himself even says that.
Ada wasn't alone. She had. The best. Character in all resident evil games!!
His name spreads fear to any infected, have it be man, woman or dog.
His name..
Agent.
Trash Raccoon I remember playing with my friend and just appearing as him and I was like what the hell? Lmao
He also has the best taunt in Mercenaries. "Come to papa!"
leon?
@@sakadic1777 2nd player in Ada's campaign (when in co-op mode) is a BSAA agent, no face, no name, no bullshit, he is just there to purge the infected.
@@voidstrider801 looks more like a umbrella agent. Umbrella guy.....sounded better in my head
'Neo-Umbrella' is just baffling as a concept. Imagine if Toyota went bankrupt, then 10 years on Neo-Toyota was operating in the shadows, still building and selling cars out of rogue factories all over the globe.
Only if they made a neo-supra

@@thefreshprincer5587 😱🤣
Still a much better and faithful Story than just throwing Umbrella away in the beginning cutscene after about 9 years worth of time and money spent (both Capcom and the fans) on build up to a showdown with Umbrella that gets wasted at the very beginning in a Mainline entry that comes off more as an overglorified spinoff (4)

Resident Evil 6 failing was what saved the series. If it wasn't bad then we wouldn't have gotten the RE7 game we got.
Or RE2's remake. Fucking amazing game.
@@shrumbus I was never a fan of RE, I played RE1 when I was like... 10. Half of it anyway. Played an hour or two of RE2 at most. Wasn't my thing. RE7 is what got me into the series and wanted to look back. I started watching Jesse Cox and Cry play 6 just for laughs, and its been hilarious. But it made things a little more coherent for someone with no knowledge of the game. But the RE2 remake seems like the best in the series easily. Everything feels tense, there's weight to the enemies, etc. The original looks like a shitty tribute game a 12 year old made compared to the new Remake. So damn different.
Hopefully game devs realize that due to big LP people, horror games are popular. PT showed everyone the potential really. I think PT was the true game changer for everything. And apparently Death Stranding is blowing people away for those that have seen the first few hours (core people that made the engine code are going insane over it). So hopefully we get more high quality horror games with good atmosphere. That's all that truly matters in horror. Not gore or jump scares. Atmosphere and fearing what comes next.
I didn't like RE7. It's actually shit, but in a different way
agree, to me it was all good until RE7
@CY Legacy ☆ D9INE NEXUS what are you talking about. its all in the RE universe, and chris was shown at the end
well at least now capcom nailed the formula with the re2 remake
They didn't nail the formula, they just copied their old game and modernized it. Nailing the formula was RE7, not RE2. RE2 is icing on the cake. If RE7 was trash, RE2 wouldn't have been made, since it uses RE7's engine.
@@kikook222 No they nailed it.
@@kikook222 RE2 remake is a way better resident evil game and overall experience than RE7 tho. At first I pretended to love RE7 when it came out bcuz I was just happy it was decent. But I swear people overrate it too much.
RE7 extremely bland and shallow main cast (with the exception of bakers of course) is what turns me off a lot nowadays and I never really feel like playing the game again
Agreed, re2 remake is the shit, still love the originals tho and re 4, reason i like it so much is because it feels like re 4 and the original r2 had a kid
Wesker having a son lmao.. it's like the worst fan fiction imaginable
Worse than Palpatine having a son?
worse than u having a son?
It would make “take your dad to school” day kind of awkward.
Worked on Devil May Cry, Nero's kinda loved rn
I don’t know who was the mother, I thought he doesn’t give a damn about anyone but himself
Everyone always overlooks Code Veronica when going back on the series
A true fan should remember that CV is part of the main series and the sequel to RE2. Hope Capcom makes a CV remake too.
CV is important in the series buy bear in mind, since CV didnt havr numbers in the title, it looks like a spin off only n honestly, i want people to apreciate it like the other canon title. That said, CV is the only canon title to not appear on multiple platform hence limit the number of people to able to play it
CV also did a lot of important stuff to the story of RE
what do you expect from people that think re games after 4 are complete trash?
right! it’s one of my top favorite RE games along with 1 and 2
*RE2 remake:* balances over the shoulder style gameplay of RE4 and the tight slower paced strategy of RE7 making it reminiscent of the early games, done and dusted.
Li-Li Mandragon
It also avoids the fast pace play of RE6/RE5, compensates the enemies for the new over-the-shoulder aim, and provides the dark environment that the original RE games were known for.
Forgot to add that 7 gets inspiration from horror movies and current FPS horror games.
Re remake is everything I hoped it would be and more, can't wait to sink many more hours into it tomorrow and until kh3 comes out, then I'll be playing both. :D
RE 2 is good, can't argue with that
@Homiecide yeah, you have to decide between using ammo or risk losing health again and again by trying to evade the zombies
Chris Redfield : "Come on Piers, we've got training to do..."
Piers Nivans : "But Chris, the Med-Tech said that if your shoulders get any bigger-"
Chris Redfield : "That's why we don't see him anymore."
His muscles will explode
Scott L Captain America understood that reference
I always though that Chris just got the JoJo treatment on him in order to fight Wesker who was too overpowered, like some villain of the same franchise.
To punch boulders your shoulders must become the boulders
???
6 may not have fit the traditional res formula but it was a hell of an action experience on it's own
Yeah it may not be the scariest or deepest plot but it was a fun game, especially with friends on co op
It's better than Uncharted 2 tbh. One of the best games of its genre tbh
in conclusion, re6 is the best generic 3rd person shooter filled with contents I have ever played, it can be a poor man's Monster Hunter Gunner experience on its own
Damn somehow I even hate Gears 5 more than re6
RE6 doesn’t fit the “formula”? Neither does RE4, RE5, RE7 or Village then.
@@PapaShmoke If you’re expecting RE games to be scary, you’re playing the wrong game. Just saying.
Ya know, I've often heard people talking about how Leon's was supposed to be the scary one to appease old fans, but after the first 20 minutes or so it's just an action game, after the campus bits, I wasn't on edge at all, it just becomes action action and more action. I was more scared during Jake's campaign. It's very very much an action game and it still boggles my mind as to why they'd gone down this path.
The reason was simple:
Too many gun blazing action,less horror and scary theme
aka Resident of Duty hahaha
lol Call of Evil
Do you even realise that Resident Evil have a story?
They could've made chris's campaign way back in re 5 but a lil more horror just add the stuff from 6. Then re6 could've been just leons story then it would've been passible
If wanted action then I wouldn't have bought it. I didn't know it was like that though.
In my opinion, the main problem with Resident Evil 6 was that it wasn't good
I liked it :)
It was ten times better than re7 . A proudful end of the story .
You are on pretty much every video I have watched the past few days. Enjoy your videos! And also you're right RE6 sucks shit through a crazy straw
Right? He seems to suggest that the only reason it fell flat was because people wanted it to be something it wasn't.
I wanted it to be a *good game*, which it wasn't. It was badly designed. It felt and looked cheap.
I grew up on the original RE games. They're very special to me. But RE4 was an amazing game - it might not have scratched all the same itches the previous games did, but it was well-crafted by people who clearly *gave a fuck* and *knew what they were doing*. Quality shines through no matter the genre.
RE5 wasn't as good as RE4, but it was a valiant attempt at recreating the formula, and it implemented co-op, which was admirable. It was an enjoyable piece of action. It strayed further from what RE originally was, but the REmakes and REboots fulfilled that purpose pretty well in its stead.
RE6 was not a quality product. No matter what it tried (and failed) to do, no matter who it tried to please, no matter what you wanted from it, it failed in every regard. It just did not feel like it was made by people who actually cared and who were capable. It felt like a plastic knockoff version, like if you looked at it too hard it would fall apart. Where the previous games were methods by which you could enjoy yourself, it seemed like at every possible turn RE6 was trying its hardest to get in your way, confuse you, tell the most inane and hokey story the series has ever seen. The mechanics fell apart at every turn, the things the narrative asked of you were head-achingly stupid.
If just one of these aspects had been competently designed - the gameplay, the story, the design of the overall game - it might've been a tolerable experience. As it was, it was thoroughly frustrating and disappointing. I found something to enjoy about every other main entry in the series. The same was not true of RE6.
It was not a good RE game. It was also just not a good game. It was not a good product of any kind.
So...I’ve commented to your comments before but...hmm. How to put this? I’m not saying get back to work making some of the most digestible entertaining content on TH-cam. I wouldn’t say that. What I would say is I wouldn’t mind a new “Tales from the Internet”.
You’re absolutely right with the soundtrack portion of this video. Literally the soundtrack of re6 is like literally thriller under the action, yet in re4 once you get to a saferoom, you chill out making you focus in the music more. You see, that has much greater impact of the song and gives you an eerie vibe but the feeling of safety. Re6 is just action music you don’t really remember. Re1 is so remembered for this because of that, so i agree 100%.
The safe room music sounds more like a chase scene or a miniboss fight
To people like you. Music isn’t my focus on what makes a game scarier or make me relax that the thriller is over. Just gotta understand to why the music is what it is.
Although I agree with most of what you said. I feel you missed the point of the different campaigns.
1. On leons campaign. The eerie feeling of horror is there at the start because he and Helena are essentially isolated, but this isn't his first day as a police officer or his first rodeo. So the action creeps in.
2. Chris. No longer in an isolated area or with an unlikely partner in a strange place or situation. He is literally with his whole team on the city going after a specific objective. Armed to the teeth. Or course it's going to be like COD.
3. Jake and Cherry are the new comers and although capable they have an unbeatable foe going after them.
4. Ada is behind the scenes trying to help and solve everything but not in the thick of it. So she has more puzzles and less action.
All the campaigns make sense not only individually but as a whole to the characters. Of each scenario was the same. Isolated low resources horror the stories wouldn't make sense since they have all evolved. That's why they are different and they are all apart. If all of them would be RE4 then we wouldn't need all these characters. It would be a dull game. R6 is flawed. But it is a great game. All the characters aren't new to the situation, they are all veterans. Chris wouldn't go with just one gun and one magazine to deal with this. Or anyone really. Great video though
Thankyou for this!

Underrated-ass comment right here
@Joni Filth that really doesnt make sense, good game but bad resident evil game? How??
It took almost every formula and concept of past RE games and brought them together as one.
This comment right there, thats the truth
I can understand why some people hate RE6 but I had a great time playing it with my brother and that's a good thing because there aren't many local co-op / splitscreen PC games made like this anymore.
You captured the exact reason I have special place in my heart for this game
Jay Jays honestly I feel like it’s a good game,but not a good resident evil game.
Jay Jays If it didn't have the Resident Evil title in it, it might have just been a good shootie-horror type game. But as a Resident Evil game? It's horrible.
How is the splitscreen on PC? I ask genuinely because I tried to play splitscreen with my sister on the PS3 and we each got a tiny, partially overlapping corner of the screen despite having a TV with a resolution large enough that we should have easily had half the screen to ourselves. We couldn't see anything and gave up.
Everything is more fun with friends/family.
Who else got triggered by the fact the text accompanied by the typewriter sound is not written in Courier?
chris and pierce's love story was pretty good.
Enough to make a grown man cry
Glad i ain't one
@Azizan Haha funny
@Azizan lmao no, it is confirmed that Chris X Boulder is the only canon abusive relationship
A little something I'd like to add: The remake of RE:1 had more strategy as well. The Crimson Heads. Not only do you decide whether to kill or flee from a zombie, if you do kill it, you must also choose whether to burn that corpse to prevent it from possibly coming back as a Crimson Head.
I also used to call my ex gf Ustanak until she found out who that was
And thats why she's your ex
@@legendaryfailure she earned the name believe me lol
Damn, you must have ended up in A&E a few times after a quick "old fashioned style", huh?
LMFAOOO!!!!

When Resident Evil tries to be Metal Gear.
@DJ.TK.Kobra.17 while Ninja Gaiden turned into Dark Souls
Well everything copies one another, so why should it be any different for RE6 at the time.
Games copied RE4 behind the shoulder gameplay after it became a hit, so on and so forth.
Exactly what I was thinking when he spoke about the sound tracks.. sounds like MGS lol
Metal gear survive:ikr!? Its crazy
I would be down for that, ngl. Now I want to play 6 even more.
I actually really enjoyed playing this game with my brother, we still play mercenaries sometimes
Konsta Luomansivu dude same here, mercenaries in that game is so addicting, me and my brother will occasionally play it on switch
Resident Evil 4 was a masterpiece because although there where some action set pieces, it was used sparingly and just enough to make the gravity of the situation feel important. 75% of the game still NAILED the creepy survival horror and dark sense of dread, with an occasional action scene being thrown in to break up the tension. As more games came out they began to shift that 25/75 action/horror into 100% action and the games lost their sense of identity.
Completely agree, when the chainsaw guy came the first time i played the game i was so scared, the castle area had theses creepy enemie singing weird shit, the regenerados... It was still a scary experience for me with a bit of Michael bay shit in the mix but i didn't mind, i always hear re4 is the first action focused re, but first re3 tried to be action focused aswell and only re5 completely committed to full action, the coop while fun didn't help with that.
Indeed despite its action base, it still hold creepy horror vibe when you encounter new enemy in small place
Right, it was scary. I can't even play at night because sometimes it pop out of no where.
Who else thought the long claws guy, the wolves, and the MEGA Dr. Salvador (The Mercenaries) was the scariest?
@@anastasiapuppy8910 uh idk bro even when I was a few years I was never really that scared only by regenerators and the thing u fight while waiting in the elevator
Dang this Nexpo guy sounds a lot like that Nightmare Expo guy. Wonder where he went...
I heard he died.... I heard Nexpo dies in this vid too........
Oh no, hope they don't come back as zombies...
nick nocturne tried to eat nightmare expo alive and those are the letters that survived
@@Nexpo along with half the universe
Good he was a prick anyway.
Personally, I really like the core gameplay of 6. It feels good to control and high play looks really stylish. 6's problems come in other forms. It's level design is very poor. Each story isn't well paced. There's an overabundance of instant death QTE's. The chase sequences are universally awful. That stealth section in Sherry and Jake's campaign is absolutely atrocious. The problem with 6's story was not that it was big dumb action. It's that it took itself completely seriously.
Yeah, I actually really enjoyed RE6. It was a really fun game to play when the game actually let you play it and didn't do weird gimmicky shit. I also liked every one of the old school survival horror entries and RE7's new take on them; there's no reason as to why grand gothic-horror style action Resident Evil can't coexist alongside dark survival horror Resident Evil. They're both great for their own individual reasons.
Dont forget lighting i spent the whole game blind like i was playing silent hills!
I played mercenaries for hundreds of hours after finishing the game.
Agreed, RE4 story was also terrible, but what made it good was that the game was self-aware of having a b-movie script and ran with it.
As for gameplay the biggest mistake IMO was having partners around, specially in Leon's case, having a second gunman around just takes away all the horror the game could posible had, that wasn't much to begin with. Specially since they never show up again in future RE games, for instance RE6 pretends that Chris's partner from RE5 doesn't exits, everytime Wesker's death comes up in the story he takes all the credit for it. If the series isn't even gonna bother with them ¿Why should I?
With the gameplay, if this was a different game, or a RE spinoff I think it would've been received better.
Like what if Umbrella Corps played like this?
I feel like RE4 had the best balance of everything.
Hell yeah hell yes that is so true! That's why I'm glad they had the remake!
I just wish it leaned more into horror. Hopefully the rumored remake does.
@@littleshadow2707 I really wish they would cut nothing. RE3R is good, but it’s a mess because Capcom cut a lot, and retconned the lore. If 4 got the same treatment, fans would be very disappointed
@@bluesyrupgc4224 Yeah I remember the Ps2 version of Re3 it's funny how cuts work
@@littleshadow2707 yeah. Seeing how Capcom was able to creat gore and disgusting visuals, I was hoping we were getting a chance to see the Grave Digger and Nemesis without his trenchcoat limiter. But then they cut all of them, replace second form Nemesis with a scripted dog form, and cut the whole section of the Watchtower
"the Resident Evil to end them all".... Yeah it almost actually did 😂
And the fact that people say 7 is worse than 6 is insane to me
You can skip 6 and miss nothing
Except if you look at the sales numbers RE6 had the second best sales in the series just after RE5
@@Henrik_Holst sales.mean.NOTHING
It's like making the argument: this youtuber has more subs so he is better
@@welloetelloe In the context of "it almost ended the series" it actually means everything since sales is what drives companies to make new entries.
RE6 is the worst RE for us fans but it was a fantastic game for Capcom.
Now make why Resident Evil 2 Remake Succeeded. Even while keeping the over the shoulder perspective.
If resident evil 2 remake is good, why is there no resident evil 2 - 2
4"s controls were perfect! The limited view and movement balanced out the power fantasy with a hunch that something could go wrong at any moment
This is such a perfect way to describe the survival action combat of RE4.
While I do love RE4, the controls were far from great. RE4 on the Wii however is the best way to play it.
@@ackdolfphitlervonburnellis851 No Gamecube is the best way to play it. The gamepad is just designed for RE4, or at least other way around.
Talu Lin It was made for the Gamecube, no shit. But Wii is still the best way to play it since aiming is alot easier.
Well I hate the controls in 4, 5 is the same but with more features and 6 is more easy to use.
Edit: I forgot this comment existed and just wanted to say that this hot take I had sucked. I grew to understand and apréciate Re 4’s control scheme but I still wouldn’t say it’s perfect but for what and how the game was designed the controls work for what it was.
If only capcom knew we'd actually be dealing with the "C-virus" I hate myself imma just head out
A C-virus in a game set mostly in China lmao
You totally convinced me in the save room themes part. Absolutely clever, explaining without words why I don't like RE6. Too much Michael Bay content less Horror.
It doesn't help that it has limited ammo for a more action driven game, and the car chases drag
Exactly. Both RE6 and 5 were basically shitty Michael bay movies.
@@helenline1790 5 not so much, but 6 definitely is.
@@helenline1790 nah I’m with the guys comment below re5 wasn’t bad
They looked like michael bay movies but at least thays a huge positive point since michael bay movies are awesome though
I will save you 35 minutes.
1.The gameplay didn't match the theme.
2. The zombie transformations were a joke there were kangaroo zombies ffs.
3.a.I were the most useless they've ever been
4. Mechanics were ok but kinda useless in story mode
5. It got repetitive fast
6. It focused so hard on bringing Leon fans in it forgot to be a game,
I hate these A.I. companions, they just strip off the horror factor. RE4's Ashley is just straight annoying too even though she dont help fight. The isolation. Thats what makes RE games good
Actually it took me 35 min to read this.
Thanks man
@Just A Gamer where was outbreak on the list? It definitely was better than 4 or 5 and I loved 5 I know I'm in the minority on it so come@me but outbreak is highly regarded as the most underrated RE
I recommend Raycevick video on the subject way much better and no clic bait
I actually really enjoyed that game!
Me too
The characters are accustomed to the treat that's why they are going on horror action approach since re4 even 3 had a Dodge mechanic
These people are desensitized of the event and knows how to handle such incidents and not oblivious anymore of what's happening and it's now their direct mission
That's why re7 wa able to go back from its roots because it's a new character fully unaware and I'll equip/exp of the horrors he'll face
RE2 remake is a remake but still had that modern mechanic on to it and it's a retelling of the characters origins of course it'll be leaning more towards horror
Absolutely! I loved RE6 BECAUSE of the action/different campaigns and stories overlapping!! I just bought an extra copy for my daughter so we can play it again w/out the split screen, LOL.
What I LOVED Most about RE6 was the opportunity to choose whether you shoot or melee attack your enemies! Fantastic feature IMO. Wish RE5 had it instead of the timing shots factor BUT I did get used to it on RE5 and it remains my current favorite in the series. I want choices.
Same!
It’s my favorite resident evil game... lol
Me too brother , RE6 are awesome actually
My biggest issues were in Jake's and Chris' campaigns. I was split screen with my best friend on his XBox 360. In the first chapter for Chris, you aren't provided enough ammo from the boxes. Playing split screen co-op on the 360 gives you enough ammo for one person despite having two players so you are always short. For Jake's campaign, is felt like a huge drag. I hate the first half of chapter 2 because searching the tundra for those missing pieces takes too long and is frustrating. Chapter 3 wasn't so bad but finding those coins kind of sucked if you didn't realize they were dropped. We had to look online how to deal with the tank because the characters don't say what you have to do when playing co-op
I like Jake’s it’s my favorite probably for sentimental reasons though tbh
The resident evil 6 sound track literally gives me the sense of impending doom well the rest of the soundtracks gives me the sense of safety but feeling like I’m about to be attacked about Any minute.
just here to say Resident Evil Outbreak deserves either a sequel or a remake.
Thank you.
Is so agree, RE Outbreak could use a remake. That game was just a bit too far ahead of it's time. I member having it on PS2, but it was a bummer because I couldn't connect online to play (think we were still rocking 56k modem) with other people and the computer AI was horrible. I also wasn't a fan of the areas where zombies would constantly repawn, but a modern day take done right would be sweet.
@agent
just get an emulator and the jp iso, game's good and the JP version allows for netplay if you tweak it enough
It did have a sequel.....
if there was a sequel i would have seen file 3 already
there was planed a third game called Resident Evil Online/Network Biohazard but it was cancelled
you forgot the 4th thing that made the first 3 games resident evil. the puzzles.
O Isentão Mor that game ruined the story. I like the game but if there was a game where the series started going down hill, that was the one
Puzzle?
But... using brain... bad!
Using brain make me feel... feel... itchy....
4.
Itchy.
Tasty.
Well Capcom already atoned their sin in RE2 Remake. That game is good remake of the original as in the puzzles and the storyline
@O Isentão Mor was just about to comment that XD
Love my RE puzzles.RE8 will hopefully be just as great with it's puzzles.
I'd also like to point out that action is just as important an ingredient in the RE Recipe as horror, strategy, and isolation are. You couldn't remove the action element altogether and still consider it a "true Resident Evil game". Since the series' inception, guns and fighting have been a big part of the equation.
The whole series might have worked together with the title "Biohazard" instead of "Resident Evil" bc people expect horror. With "Biohazard" it all goes well with the whole infection situation goin on.
YES!!! Exactly plus it would make sense that the original characters wouldn't be too scared of the situation they are in( being as the creations of Umbrella or association with them) because like a soldier going to war again and again they wouldn't have been new to them. Their only fear would have been failure to stop them.
Well the title of the game is already it's face now.. It's still called Biohazard jn Japan tho.
This is sadly Capcom's of USA's fault. If it stayed Bio-Hazard then we wouldn't have this stupid amount of hate for RE6 since plotwise it makes sense. Since it was always about the insane BOWs and not just -zombies- that people zoom in on. Like did people forget you fight a gangster amount of things in the first game? Bats, spiders, dogs, snakes, PLANTS and fricking SHARK!!!!!! And ofcourse... the true star... Tyrant. Zombies are literally the foot soilders of all the games. You don't worry about them.... you worry about everything else.
Idk why they change into Resident and Evil. It's not making any sense. Biohazard make everything comes to sense. Greatly disappointed. Im long fan of RE series.
@@yuzuichikawa yoo bro ur one of the only people I agree honestly u make sense,speak facts,and don’t put ur feelings in everything,honestly one of my favorite games of all time is 5
re6 had the most fun mercenaries mode in my opinion
The best and the last mercenaries mode
I really liked RE6 a lot. To me, I've grown attached to the characters in the Resident Evil universe, and seeing 4 campaigns where they all intertwine was a amazing. You never knew when or who you'd cross paths with next.
Eh I guess but there are better already *established* characters who should've been in the game, yk ever heard of Jill Valentine? or Claire Redfield?!, They seriously messed up a lot and could've taken the story in an more intriguing direction had Claire been there with Leon and then they find sherry or Jill finding Chris as she's Chris' ride or die as shown in RE5, she should've been the one who found Chris, not Piers, She also a cofounder of the BSAA! so she should've had a role in the story, she would also know how to better console Chris with his Amnesia and help him get back on his feet. But eh on second thought, Piers could be with her I guess but seriously, If they wanted to have all the characters intertwine, *then have all of them intertwine!* . And also speaking about missed opportunities, That moment where Sherry see's Leon and hugs him would've held a lot more weight if Claire was there too, after all Claire was the one who took more care of her in RE2, Just search up wasted potential videos and you'd be baffled on how much of a compelling story they missed out on but you do you.
RE:7's save room soundtrack is my favorite. I played through the entire game in VR so when I hear it, it makes me feel like I'm back in that creepy house, wondering if Jack Baker is going to see me when I decide to step out.
It’s weird watching this video after binging your latest creepy uploads. But fr, RE5 and RE6 were my introductions to the RE franchise and the co-op was fun as shit
The co-ops ARE really fun. And the games may be just action games but they weren't bad, at least 5 wasn't bad. 6 has tons of issues but I enjoy playing it
RE6's Co-op made it fun. I like it.
Re6’s Co-op was made my day with my ex.
Zack Smith Really?
Co op doesn’t destroy sense of horror... my bf is a total wuss and screams over anything. Made it much more fun imo
Right!!! it was soo much fun
i was iffy about your brand shift but this video sold me, its great to hear you a lot more light-hearted and the new audio and graphics work so well. Bravo
I played as Sherry because I was more connected to her then I could ever be for Jake.
Out of curiosity, what made you connect with her?

it also caused the cancellation early version of resident evil 7. in fact, fans complaints of re6 results in the current version of Re7 we have now
@@souseiseki90 I mean, I don't know why it should be hated on. RE7 was refreshing as it went back to the series' core, while incorporating plenty of action for the RE4 and RE5 fans of the run and gun style, and the RE0-RE3 strategy and horror fans.

Resident Evil: Code Veronica got so shafted in this analysis
give her the appreciation she deserves
Code Veronica is easily one of the best RE games.
Nothing tops REmake, though.
Can't forget about 0 either. 0 had those sexy remake style graphics and was rather good.
I think he was sticking primary to the numbered cannon so he only talks about Resi 0-7.
@@casualcadaver code veronica had more value to the storyline/universe and characters of resident evil though, especially compared to 0. Not to mention the playing mechanics of switching characters halfway through the game, so you had to always reserve ammo like crazy, and be aware if what you were carrying and what you were storing for an inevitable character swap.
If 0 got attention, code veronica deserved at least a passing nod.
Code veronica sucks!
Dear gods that theme from RE7... Every time I hear it I remember the ending from RE7 and remember just how shit I felt about it.
I never, EVER, thought I would feel bad about killing what essentially was a walking biological apocalypse...
I feel like RE6 and RE7 are misunderstood. My friend and I loved the coop. The mechanics were amazing when you actually mastered them, just a steep learning curve
Don't you mean 5 and 6?
re4 had a nice combination of action quick time events and horror especially in the village and castle which i think is the reason that makes it great...btw majini's werent infected with uroburos, they were infected with plagas just like ganados just a little more advanced
RE4 wasn't easy like the rest

I got into the franchise with 4 but skipped 6. Going back now, after the big update...it's actually my favorite out of the franchise. There's really a lot to love about it.
6 is my favorite by far. The first time I beat Jake’s campaign I cried when that song played its beautiful

The best part of RE6 is how the camera wobbles erratically when you're trying to fight and run while your character takes up 3/4ths of the screen.
Watching old Nexpo videos feels like he was kidnapped at some point and the person hosting the channel now is someone else entirely.
Literally 💀💀💀
INCOMING!! A very unpopular opinion!!
Resident Evil 4, 5 and 6 didn't feel like the typical RE games because the characters you were in control of became better at surviving the survival horror.
Like 4 for instance. Leon was no longer a rookie cop on his first day on the job. You can't expect these seasoned vets to be one trick ponies forever, do you? Why don't people understand this? Capcom does. 😂😂😂
I was thinking the same things through out this video. People don't stay the same.... Just look at Chris's arms! XD
Still fells like a survivor horror and resident evil more than 6.
I do agree, but the sense of danger should still be there. These are monstrosities with the capability to rip you to shreds while eating multiple rounds before going down. To make the character capable of casually fist fighting these things etc is just laughable. The main characters are still human/mortal after all.
It makes sense that in the universe the characters would get stronger. But that shouldn't affect the game's design negatively. The number one thing is that a game should be fun to play. RE4 was fun. RE5 was fun with coop. RE6 wasn't fun.
Now this is an argument I totally love.
I would make 0 sense to have Chris Redfield, the zombie murderbot soldier, be a disoriented special ops policeman like in RE1.
This is why classic Silent Hill always made a point about *James/Harry/Heather is inexperienced in fighting and can barely use guns optimally* , because horror in games ultimately comes from helplessness, this is why Tank controls were so fear inducing, your character, despite being able to walk and run like any person does, is a little clumsy and isn't a gymnastics prodigy, headshots being RNG had always made me really angry on RE, because it involves no skill, but that frustration was also met with an alternative, you can headshot with one tap, _but only with high power weaponry whose ammo is rare and/or expensive_
It's masterful in its own way.
I will defend with cape and sword that Chris should not be remotely bad at killing zombies or other kinds of monsters, because he's just way too experienced at this, same reasoning behind RE: ORC, you aren't a survivor, you are a soldier and, as much as it hurts the horror, you should BE capable of easily handling 5 zombies in a room with a handgun and a knife.
I felt like they just went too Hollywood with RE6....
@murat balamsa yeah but at some point it just stops becoming scary and that was the problem, even resident evil 4 had that horror atmosphere and it was scary. They just needed to rememeber their roots for 5 6. Thus they made biohazard, they released it for a reason. They needed to get back what made them popular in the first place. And though biohazard may not feel like a resident evil game, it was dawm good.
Wouldnt surprise me if they took advice from Michael Bay
Well, I mean as the story progresses fear is realistically going to be drown out. You literally have a military force created for the express purpose of dealing with BOWs and such shit. The world is plagued with shit like that and the people coped. It's practically normal for the main characters at this point and they've learned how to cope and combat it rather than fear it. Which reflects in the game play. Only way to go back to genuine fear would require entirely new characters and scenarios. Like what they attempted with 7.
TBH, i love Ada, Leon and Helena campaigns while not so much with Sherry/Jake and Chris/Piers(die so many time during HAOS chasing scene). Because their campaign still have horror element, perhaps the biggest mistake that Capcom ever made the game was less of strategies,like how to do sneak attack to enemy or have silencer on the weapon
So, I started pressing X when he told me to, but I was playing Devil May Cry and I was in a Nelo Angelo fight, so I was just jumping around like an idiot.
In resident evil 4 the save rooms music was peaceful and nostalgic as hell
Yes doo doo doo doo.. doo.. doo.. doo doo!
I'm gonna get a lot of Backlash for this but personally I love Resident Evil 6.
I don't think it's "great" but I enjoy it for the most part. I played it a few days ago. I do like Chris's campaign a lot less after all this time though.
Chris capmpaign was the best , i hated everyone else xD
I loved Jakes and Leons. the only thing i liked about chris's campaign was the ending. I just flat out hated Ada's though.
Me too.
I grew up with the original, RE6 has its charm on me so as CV, Dead Aim, Survivor, Outbreak Series, Revelations Series, Remakes, 5 and 7
Excellent vid. I was gonna get miffed about the exclusion of the Code: Veronica safe room theme but it got snuck in at the end lol
As much as capcom wants to, I don't believe the game should be outright ignored. It has a lot of stuff that if better utilized can work very well in a RE game. Honestly though the thing that really irritates me about this and and other titles around it is that capcom doesn't even try to remaster or remake their better survival horror games such as: Haunting Ground or Dino Crisis
*You mean critically failed. It made more money than RE 7 -_-*
Yeah I was about to say that, despite all the hate it gets it still sold relatively well.
Haha who cares about the "critics" they are the same idiots who slap a 9 on every cod Madden and fifa every year haha
@@DC-tt6zc *lol agreed. I enjoyed 6 actually. The only RE i didn't like was gun survivor on the PS1. Played it like, thrice. Never really liked it albeit forcing myself to. Like FF XIII*
Resident Evil 6 came out in 2012, Resident Evil 7 came out in 2017. Resident Evil 6 has sold 6.8 million, Resident Evil 7 has sold 5.4 already.
Shocking that RE6 has (barely) made more money when it has had a five year head start across two console generations.
Data Grab yeah... for some reason people don’t grasp what good horror games are these days. Res evil 5/6 are action survivals. But not horror. Re/4 managed to keep a balance but after that it went downhill. They managed to redeem themselves with res 7
Imagine resident evil 4 remake Damn
Doesn’t need one, graphics still hold up.
I would be down for it for sure!
Probably not happening or in maybe some years
@@TheBrandonDawson they don't lol,even if they do,a resident evil 2 remake style game for resident evil 4 would be so fucking good
It will ruin it
I completed it recently and really enjoyed it. The worst thing about it were the camera angles at times. In intense moments where you had to run from something the camera angles and controls were fighting eachother. I still enjoyed the game though.
I would love to see a game like RE:Outbreak, that plays like the RE2 remake. That would be a perfect spinoff for me.
you use ammo to open wooden boxes......your opinion on resident Evil is invalid.
TheHero ofLfr hardcore resident evil fans who play for the story never burn ammo on unnecessary things.
You don't use ammo, you use the knife lol
Elijah Virrey bingo! Also if it’s a normal / non speedrun playthrough it’s headshot + kick + knife them while they’re down and repeat.
Seeing people spray the whole magazine missing half the shots and missing kick prompts makes me cringe
@@elijahvirrey7589 Actually both...
I used ammo to do it in 7 because opening the inventory doesn't pause the game lol
Try swapping to the knife in the middle of a fight lol
RE6 has one of the single best third person shooter combat systems in gaming, don't @ me.
@ChrisHallett83 indeed to me was Leon campaign i find more enjoyable plus dual weiding pistols
I agree it definitely is
@ChrisHallett83 They should have sold Mercs separately, considering how much better that mode is than the actual game.
If RE6 had been its own thing and not part of the Resident Evil franchise, I think it would’ve been much better received.
It kinda makes sense that as resident evil goes on, it has more action in it especially if we’re revisiting and expanded on already established characters. Plenty of these characters joined or were apart of agencies that specialize in or are well equipped to face off against BOWs and the like. It’s unlikely that you would send a experienced BSAA agent ill equipped with just a knife and a pistol to some spooky place where BOWs or something of the kind are thought to be there or have involvement with that place.
I had a really good time playing every campaign.
Thats all that matters.
RE6 was a blast to play, and had the best mercs mode in the series
The game didn’t fail tho.. being another one of capcoms best selling titles and the controls were the best in the series. Sad how people still blindly hate on this game
It's not resident evil. That's why it's hated, and deservedly so. The only thing that is 'Resident evil' about RE6 and 5, is the title on the front of the box lol.
Helen Line “Not resident evil” but it has the story of resident evil, characters, weapons, the story has been ramping up in scale since re3 to something like this. More blind criticism lmao
Sales don't make a game automatically good, or well implemented controls.
@@CallForGrandPappy it's not resident evil in identity. Characters and story have nothing to do with that. It's like making dead space a call of duty action game. It just doesn't work. So there's nothing blind about my criticism, most RE fans will agree with me. Also, sales do not mean shit in correlation with how good the game is. The Resident evil movies are great evidence of this. Just because it makes money doesn't mean it's good.
Helen Line the movies are shit I agree but if you look at the game for what it is then you can appreciate it for what it is, re4 changed so much after re3 and y’all love that game, don’t see how this game is worse after it only improves on that except for some aspects. If you don’t like the game that’s fine I’m just trying to explain how some people like it and how it still is resident evil.
For what it was, the game was an amazingly fun coop experience. Yes, it probably would've been better if Capcom just made a new game entirely and had it play like RE6, but Capcom wanted those sales.
In the end, I sort of like what it did for RE as a whole. it made the series not seem like it was limited to just strictly horror games. Sometimes it is absolutely okay for a long running franchise to have a few games here and there get experimental with the formula. It allows both the company and the fans to realize what is truly important for the series.
I never understood why the 6th was so hated. I liked it better than the 5th one.
I like RE5 but I hated Sheeva and giving her ammo. She is more a burden than a support character.
Zack Smith didn’t 5 sell more because it was multiplayer?
Same RE5 is much more frustrating and boring than RE6 and even the predecessor.
The partner literally is spending ammo more then I do lol.
*I need emmo!*
In the end I always keep the better gun for myself and just let her a 9mm handgun.
edit: RE6 is indeed better because you can say "thanks" when you make a critical headshot plus the abilities/feat like infinite ammo for this gun, powerful meelee hits etc. made the game more fun and hardcore.
@@nanyafahkinbiznes1352 It's a lot more fun as long as you have a friend play, because the programming of the girl just sucks.
storhumbug the controlling in 5 was better, i didnt like the fast paced running in 6. It was not resident evil to me
RE6 didnt fail. it was one of their top sellers.
Livealive RE5 was the worst
@murat balamsa Tell umbrella that i want to drink coffee with them 😂😂😂
It did fail, even though it was one of their top sellers they put so much money into it and not made a profit.
It's most expensive game Capcom ever created and didn't made significant profit. It's cheap as hell novadays, even I bought it which I refuse to pay indirectly with 3 in 1 pack
Yeah, Resident Evil live action movies get millions even though they are shit, and?
I can't believe people still see the amount of profit as an equivalent of a good or loyal product.
I still play this alone just have good memories with it then they made it for PS4 🔥
I honestly enjoyed this game, Been a long time fan since the first RE came out. Leon’s campaign had the horror/puzzle stuff, Chris had all the action crap and Jakes a mix of both of them. Got to see Ada naked. What’s not to like? 🙄
No love for Veronica?
You might as well include the Revelation series also. This only focuses on 0-7
@@the_allucinator I mean, Code Veronica was supposed to be the true sequel to Resident Evil 2 whilst Resident Evil 3 was supposed to be the spin-off title. But due to contractual obligations, we got the inverse of that. At any rate, Code Veronica is notable as it is the last true Resident Evil game before the gameplay shifted with 4.
I didn't know that. No wonder why Code Veronica really felt like a canon.

@@facadeosts RE REmake, RE 0, RE Outbreak. All after Code Veronica and before 4 minus Outbreak

Slayer lvl?
@@Raylightsen i think the gameplay is the best in the series, its just my opinion, but i prefer it to resident evil 7
I mean the option of sprinting made the game so much faster
@@dattos140 yeah being interupted by pointless cutscenes of an enemy entering the room or a door opening really made this the best in the series....
To be fair, out of all the songs in the RE6 soundtrack, there IS one that stood out to me and to me made everything feel super stressful and spooky. And that'd be Tall Oaks' Streets. The piano score in that song was fantastic and really gave me a sense of dread while playing....I really wish the rest of the soundtrack gave that same feeling.
I think it’s a bit unfair to not mention how 4 and 5 had a lot of QTEs in the cutscenes. 4 is what introduced it and as annoying as they are, it’s not completely this game’s fault. I also felt the the QTEs in this game were far easier then the others in 4 and 5 for the most part once you get used to it because the game uses the same 3-4 button combos for them. If anything I found the running sequences where the camera faces in front or behind you the worst because the movement becomes super annoying at times.

I just can't understand why you'd say it "failed" as an RE fan it failed me in terms of a "horror game" but it in no way shape or form failed
Yes it did, not financially but as a Resident Evil sequel, you even said so yourself.
Stop caring about market sales, you're not a Capcom executive, judge a product based on what it is, not on how much money it put on the pocket of others.
@@odeiomine I mean I started playing at RE4 and loved the puzzle solving and over the shoulder playstyle. Yeah, I went back and played the earlier games(I even played outbreak). At no point was I disappointed with the series. I actually only became disappointed when clearing RE7 and thought I completed Outlast again. At least RE6 can say it had some of the franchise's most recognizable characters at launch, RE7 didn't even feel remotely connected to the rest of the series.
Because they are dumb asses. Resident Evil 6 was a great game.
Because fast paced action feels pretty connected to the rest of the series.
What makes a RE game is the overwhelming atmosphere, most games nail this, 5 not so much and 6 throws it away completely.
Honestly i get why you may dislike RE7, but i prefer that it borrowed elements from Outlast than borrowing from generic action shooters.
Saint - He did judge it on what it is. He makes a good point asking why a game that sold the most out of a franchise is considered a failure.
I personally liked RE6
VenNoel VA I like to play with my friends it’s very fun
It's a good game. Just not a good re game. I hated all the over-top action that didnt make any sense.
VenNoel VA i loooove it
Amen to that, no matter how people hate it, at least 6 was continuation of canon story with original character, since we barely got nothing about canon story after 6, i consider RE6 is my favorite. RE7 was good gameplaywise, but the story was, meh.
same buddy, love it so much

: have the characters no longer fear the dead hence the action oriented combat
