I hate the internet. 8 years later and I still can’t unsee the giraffe
the what
@@liaminator4950 re6 logo looks like a giraffe getting blown by a dude
I remember that, People were joking about the logo looking like a guy, standing with a chair fucking a giraffe. Or giving head to a giraffe X3
Yes.
Maaan why
They need to leave the traditional survivor horror with puzzles to the mainline games. And the spin-offs can be the co-op action ones.
Not a bad idea.
Seems like a sound idea.
This is a good idea. I would love for Capcom to try to do RE4 again, that would be great! I just don’t want that in the mainline series. Maybe in the spin off games, they can make the stories intentionally silly and shit. Like maybe Wesker comes back as Robo-Wesker.
Peppino Touchdown I agree with every thing but the remaster of RE4 I think the controls are only good with the thought of it belonging to the 6th generation but the game wouldn’t work the same way without them to... same goes to RE5 unless it’s to fix the Sheva’s AI
You could also do co-op horror. Just because a game is co-op doesn't mean you can't do horror.
You just have to make sure the players feel vulnerable. If you give them massive machine guns with essentially unlimited ammo, no amount of horror imagery is going to scare them.
Resident Evil 6, the game that saved the franchise...by almost killing it.
@@amirgarcia547 I'm not sure I'd directly compare them. RE6 was the culmination in a path they had started on since 4 and kept going further and further away each time.
DmC was one asshole saying that Dante wasn't cool enough and making him a bitch.
I mean, if it wasnt such a catastrophic failure we might not have seen the change in direction for 7, or the excellent remake and the other, mostly OK remake. Itd be a weird thing to take credit for but you're not wrong
@Dominic dominic you need to chill out Dominic. We get it, you liked 6
@Dominic dominic If you read my second comment, you would see that I specifically said that it started with 4. It was a process, but 6 was the breaking point for a lot of people.
I personally liked 6, but I'm not going to lie to myself about it's impact, both positive and negative.
So basically resident evil works on Saiyan rules
I love Resi 6. No matter what anyone says, the game feels really good to play because of its mechanics, the story is serviceable but I liked the interaction between the mainstays of the series.
I'm not gonna lie, RE6 is quite possibly my favorite game in the franchise. I played re4, some of re5 and the first re, re darkside chronicles, re revelations... I just had so much fun with it, and I deceloped such a deep affection for all of the characters. Jake and Sherry's dynamic made me audibly chuckle several times, and I was genuinely upset/sad about (spoilers!) Piers' death/self sacrifice. Maybe I'm just biased because I have great, funny memories of playing this with my aunt who introduced me to the franchise, but RE6 just has such a special place in my heart.
Both of the revelation games are really high up there too though, soecifically Revelations 2 for the same reason (playing it and making memories with my aunt)
I loved the John Wu style shooting and diving around. It was also tons of fun using the contextual environmental melee actions- slamming a zombies head into a nearby car and scrabbling around desperately was amazing. Had tons of fun playing this with my brother but maybe it would've been better received if it wasn't called a Resident Evil game.
Well said at the end. I'm glad Capcom has been on this path of redemption in this generation.
second video this week I've seen to have RE: Directors Cut farty OST in the ending. Thank you for bringing this smile back to my face.
I was not an invested fan of the franchise, having only played Resident Evil 5, and I was open to giving it a perfectly fair shot. I made it to the first boss, not sure if I actually beat it, and then never played it again.
Why? Because when I pushed forward on the analog stick, the character’s head did not tilt forward, causing the view to tilt down, but rather he pulled his head *back,* causing the view to tilt *up,* the exact opposite of what I was trying to tell it to do.
They had no options settings to correct the view controls, so the game was unplayable whether it had all the other flaws or not.
If they were trying to bring in a larger audience, maybe one of the very first things you would think to add would be controller settings?
I have a soft spot for RE6. It was one of my first Xbox 360 games (I was late to the 360 party a little bit lol), I love RE in general, I love action, I love body horror (which this game does well), etc.
I get why ppl hate on it, and I understand it has very obvious flaws, obviously. But I have fun with it, and that won't stop me.
Still, nothing beats RE4. Nothing!!
Yall trippen.
This game is fun AF.
Hell, im about to start it up on my xbizzle.
I do credit re6 for getting over my fear of zombies and horror in general
theres a delay effect. a game dont sell well because its good, it sells well because its predecessor was good. meaning RE 4 was good. so 5 sold well so capcom assumed double down.
8:17 I hear a theme in the background....is that Wesker's theme from MvC?
Resident Evil 6 is one of the best Co-Op games i have ever played!
It's so much fun if you play it with a friend.
It's just great!
RE6 is still my favorite Resident Evil because of the core gameplay alone. I loved how much action it had, the amount of control you had over the characters, and just how good it actually felt to go on the offensive in that game. Capcom needs to bring back that gameplay style and pull another DMC with RE6 and just create a whole separate franchise out of that play style alone.
There's a distinct air of "too many cooks spoil the soup" about RE6.
It’s not the best RE but it sure does have some entertaining moments.
So Yoshiaki Hirabayashi is basically the Vince McMahon of Resident Evil games?
I think the game or Leon’s campaign was the only I played but I think was good not bad at all it was super fun but super short
6:19
Where this clip can from?
I want to see the whole thing. I'm still laughing at Leon's goofiness. Tbh I'd say the same thing.
Imagine being protected by plot armor ur whole life
Ranking the Campaigns in Resident Evil 6:
1. Leon & Helena - BEST
2. Ada - I liked playing this one. It felt like Resident Evil 4's Seperate Ways. (Agent was COMPLETELY POINTLESS)
3. Jake & Sherry - Fun & nice story & development between the main characters in this game.
4. Chris & Piers - An alright story progression from RE5, but the whole gameplay is this campaign is just Call Of Duty with Michael Bay over the top BS, the only thing I liked was Piers Nivans character, and I HATED that they killed him off!😡😤
I liked it but haven't gotten to finish it. It's more of an action game and I loved that kind of game at times. I loved resident evil 1 and 2, but this seems like and end all for a town now totally filled with zombies.
Resident Evil 6 would make a good Dino Crisis game
Honestly, I get the same feeling from the end of Resident Evil: Village. I worry that the next Resident Evil game will suffer the fate that 6 did
Felt like they saw 4 and 5 and said "Hmm, I bet the only thing people enjoyed about those games was the fact they were over the shoulder 3rd person games". Let's change everything else!
Resident Evil 6 was a good game, just not a great one. When I think about it, I'm not necessarily fond, but it makes me happy that it did well enough for them not to abandon the franchise and to actually take it in a new (old) direction.
Hammmer the buttons and wiggle the sticks!
As a “horror game”, it failed. As a non asked for “action game”, I had a lot more fun with it then I thought I was going to have with it. What can I say 🤷🏿♂️😅😂
Is that Leon on the thumbnail ??? 🤔🤔 cuz he look like buddy from westworld 🤣🤷🏼♂️
smosh games has ruined my perception. almost a decade and i still can’t unsee the 6 man….
I don't understand why R.E.6 got sooooo much hate. I love that game. One of my favorites in the series.
Even tho re6 was bad I think it was actually fun to see the devs try to add new stuff. Sure the hell action made it not resident evil but it was still fun for me at least. I played this game when I was a kid and had a blast with it.
I bought on release and played a whole 5 hours and went back to gamestop to sell it for half price.
I really love re 6 as it was the first one in the series I actually played when I was younger I played 4 on my phone but this was the first true one I played
How do you feel about REVII and REII remake if you don't mind me asking? Quite a departure from RE6 those games are.
I still can't over how in the cutscene Sherry's able to heal from a freaking helicopter propeller through her spine, but in the actual game she doesn't have a Wolverine-type auto-heal ability.
Heheheh Like u said, it was in a cutscene
They said she had the g virus stuff in her from resident evil 2. So I dunno...but still its really just dumb
@@WannbeSomeGuyWithLongHair I mean, I'm okay with her having a 'healing' factor. What I couldn't understand was why the 'healing' factor didn't exist when playing the game when it was shown to exist in the cutscene. Lol. It's like you're playing with Wolverine in a game and the actual gameplay doesn't allow him to regenerate health.
@@ajraven5145 total agreement 👍
If you get this almost dead mode with Sherry, and you calling for your partner, she yells "Can´t regenate... fast enough !"
I actually like the concept of “different characters = different experiences” that RE6 tried to do. Problem was that the four characters you played as are so similar that the play styles also became too similar with only minor differences- you had “soldier who fights monsters for a living,” “agent who fights monsters for a living,” “son of the OP former antagonist who inherited his ability to fight monsters,” and “spy who’s been fighting monsters for a living longer than any of the others.”
I think Revelations 2 and RE7 ended up nailing what RE6 tried to do. In Rev2, you had the segments with Claire and Barry which obviously weren’t scary, but then the segments with Moira felt more tense, and the Natalia episode which was textbook survival horror.
And in RE7 you had the base game with Ethan which was a definite survival horror experience, and then the “Not a Hero” campaign with Chris that is different from the base game in all the right ways, so that the experience feels distinct (you never feel worried or afraid when playing Chris’s campaign, because obviously there’d be no reason to be scared; you’re Chris fucking Redfield).
Yeah, they definitely learn from their mistakes... glad RE franchise finally bounce back, now they will release RE4 remake, and i can't wait to play it
Revelations 2 is much better than RE7 as a RE game, and RE7 isn't that scary. Of course Rev2 wasn't that scary but it had more menacing enemies than what RE7 had to offer which was barely nothing.
I didn't love RE6, didn't hate it either. It was good enough. What I liked about it and thought was cool was it had something for everyone depending on what campaign they picked. Can't remember specifics but I remember that some were more like the originals, and some more action oriented like 4 and 5. I interpreted that as they were trying to please a wide range of fans since some preferred the new direction more whilst others liked the original formula.
Late reply to an old comment but I'm just writing to nitpick what you said about Ada. She's a corporate spy and RE2 was the first time a zombie outbreak ever occurred in RE lore. So she's only been fighting monsters as long as Leon, and since the mansion incident happened a month prior to Raccoon City, Chris has been in the fight longer than both of them.
I actually loved how the campaigns overlapped at certain points, but agree that a single, more focused campaign with all the characters showing up as supporting figures in the story would’ve probably worked much better.
@@Walamonga1313 I agree. Idk what it is but something about the game just doesn’t feel right when you play it. The controls just don’t feel good. I don’t hate it but it’s my least favorite resident evil forsure
@@ClaireZhasa i enjoyed many aspects of it, but maybe it should have been three smaller re revelations type games. They could have kept an action based re game, that added more back story. While then focusing on survival horror for the main line games
That's actually the only aspect of the game I thought was cool. Too bad I tried it 8 years too late and didn't get to overlap with anybody.
@@Walamonga1313 i agree .. the controls are bad, UI is not good, skill upgrade (tryin add some RPG mechanism here ?), too many QTE, and others aspect that i don't feel this is a Resident Evil games i know. I played this for 4 hours and doesn't had the thrill, fun or enjoying the Resident Evil games i used to know.
@@darkerpath wait there was skill upgrade?
In the matter of action, i liked that since it keep me in edge, the fact that there was more freedom of movement and melee created much more tensión in me, since that make me think "is a balance thing in order to being able to survive"
I was scared in the cementery-church section, that moment where i heard "first kill those monsters" i was "let me inn let me innnnnn!"
"Making a RE game for people who don't like RE games" sounds pretty much like what they did with DmC.
An RE game for people who don't like RE.
So...Dead Rising?
Capcom's weird
@@qeridexis8604 The specific decisions in each game are definetly different, but it sounds like both directions come from the same general politics that Capcom had at the moment
That's extremely accurate!
@@MegaManXPoweredUp no. Resident Evil 4.
Making games to appeal to *"EVERYONE"*
Now that's a bad decision..
I remember on the very first day of my business course, the teacher drilled into our heads: Know yyour key demographic. It can't be everyone, because your product or business will never appeal to everyone. So target the people who WILL be interested in what you're selling".
Seems like Capcom never learned that lesson...
@@handsdowntoo7150
Same thing is happening to the USA's movie industry.
@@handsdowntoo7150 Fortunately with RE2 and RE7 it looks like Capcom did learn their lesson :)
@@YukitoOnline Not really, just depends on what movies you're actually paying attention to.
@@stevenedenfield7978 don't agree with with RE7, the gameplay is okay i guess if you like that kinda thing, the story was absolute shit. Filled with plot holes.
This is such a small thing, but I need to say this:
That transition Matt uses of all those blue skulls falling into a pile like marbles or whatever? I love that.
“Chris!?”
“Leon?!”
“Spongebob!”
Awesome 😂
4:50 "So how do we make it so we can sell it to people adverse to horror ?"
Oh I don't know DINO CRISIS, if only you had an IP similar DINO CRISIS without the horror DINO CRISIS, that would be DINO CRISIS nice, huh ?
I feel like your trying to say something, but I can’t tell what it is.
@@PunkRockMohawk something crisis? or dino something?? it's on the tip of my tongue but....
I mean, they seriously painted themselves into a wall, story wise, when it came to Dino Crisis.
@@limmynade pretty sure you're thinking about Resident Evil. I mean it didn't have any zombies. Just some kind of weird plant monsters.
Are you thinking of Crino Disis?
The exciting conclusion to RE’s midlife crisis phase
This is a perfect description 😂😂😂
lol, to ture.
@Cpt Dinosaur But it didn't flop alot of people bought it and was the highest selling Capcom game before MH World.
@@tmerchead1 Except it was a flop because it didn't meet Capcom's sales expectations. RE5 was also their highest selling game for a long period of time.
@Ryan Stewart Personally I'm with you on that, but I know that's a beloved game to many.

Where is this from?
@@NewToCool74 maybe from one of the American Pie movies
@@eldridgecharles1313 i meant the animation used in this video for the bathtub scene with Leon and Ada.
@@NewToCool74 just look for "Ada wong bathtub" on youtube lol. It's an 8 second video
Why cant games be created without the idea that every single person considered the "general public" has to be pandered to? Why cant games exist that appeal to specific genres and dominate in the field rather than creating a grey muddied boring mess.
money. money. we greedy. we like money precious.
Since AAA games are so expensive to make nowadays that if you want to make a profit it's incredibly difficult unless you try to appeal to everyone rather than a small niche.
Everyone said it already.. It's Money.. To make a game st this scope. There's alot to consider aside from making the game's Engine/assets/plot.. You stll have Budget/Estimated time to finish/Target Market because that will project profit because as you know.. Capcom is a Company owned by Shareholders (A bunch of dude who group up together to earn more money)..
So you need to make the project Feasible enough that your shareholders will willingly bet their money in your game to be profitable.. Because without their money you won't be able to make the game at all.
@Surf Surfing Trash game flops and makes no money. When you grow up you'll understand.
@@vivid8979 Shareholders are greedy idiots with heads up their asses so I'm glad that justifys bad games getting made. Go captialism!
Honestly, I found this game to be rather enjoyable. I remember being surprised by a AAA game having that much content that wasn't just something like the Ubisoft open world checklist.
I would play a successor to RE6 gameplay with vanquish elements thrown in and probablly like it a lot(less or no QTEs though). But imo RE6 clearly wasn't what I wanted from that franchise specifically.
I also had lots of fun with it, playing it mostly co-op with my niece.
The game still sells today.
@@Rogerioapsandrade It's such a good co-op game. I keep replaying it with various people online. Even the "competetive" gamemodes are pretty fun, especially agent hunt & letting other players invade your campaign. Definitely spices things up!
If RE6 wasn't an RE game and was an intentionally stupid over the top action shooter that was an original IP I think it would have gone down well. Especially if the QTEs were removed.
@@abletothink Exactly, more gameplay and less movies.
The best thing about RE6, characters meet ups, reunions, Sherry post RE2, and the who's who of current voice work (Matthew Mercer, Laura Bailey, Roger Craig Smith, Courtenay Taylor, Yuri Lowenthal, Eden Riegel and Troy Baker)
That being said, if this was a success, we would've NEVER got the phoenix rising moment we have now with Resident Evil, it's a blessing really.
what is really weird is that RE6 was actually a success! Today it is the second Capcom best seller game and no subsequent RE game surpassed its sales.
@@Rogerioapsandrade It wasn't really a success. Capcom was expecting it to sell well in excess of what it's even currently sold (remember that Capcom expected the game to sell 7 million copies just during the launch period, not throughout its life), and lost millions of dollars in development costs that they could not recoup in any way, shape, or form.
@@Jose-se9pu But if it cost a shitload of money whats the use? You can sell more but that doesnt make it a succes.
Honestly I'm not a big fan of were Resident Evil's going with the hole first person thing. The last RE that I played and liked was 4.
@@Jose-se9pu it's not a success , this is n ot some DMC4 situation , RE6 essentially made 3-4 games into one and sell for $60.
They even had 600 employees!
When you have the development cost been the same as two RE5 , with a sales number the same as RE5 , it IS a failure than over-expactation.
06:16 I don't know why but the RE2 Leon bathtub skit makes me laugh every time I see it.
me too bro
That's Fucking SPOT ON what Leon would say ! HAHAHA!!! Wait was that an Unlocked Deleted Scene ? From Res2 Remake ?? I'm still trying to get through that Game on Hardcore Mode.
There's an alternate universe where that's the last scene in the game.
The extended version is unlocked at the end of No Hope mode.
I enjoyed 6. Mostly cause my buddy and I couldn't stop laughing and making fun of the Chris campaign. An anti-material rifle? And he hip fires it?!
I made an entire character build around quick-shots with the anti-material rifle just because they're so fucking dumb to look at.
Ronin Martinez He isn’t the one who gets the Anti-Material rifle though. It’s his second-in-command that actually looks human as far as muscle mass goes.
@@fenrirsrage4609 But Chris wasn't the one holding the using the rifle, it was Piers (an assuredly normal human and not a boulder punching god-man)
Yo, are you me? I had the same exact experience.
@@tiraelrosenburg345 Possibly. My buddy and I loved 6 because it was just so goofy. 5 was fun too. We still find ourselves yelling, "Sheva! Hurry!" whenever we find a "co-op door" in a video game.
1-3: old school era
4-6: action era
7-8(maybe 9): First Person Horror era
Man, only thing I remember from this game was that stupid "Leon getting hit by train bunch of times" section. And I have to admit, it was funny actually.
Especially if you imagine Chris punching the train into Leon for not continuing the Redfield Bloodline.
I don't think, on my run-through, Leon got hit by the train much. I had to think which section you meant.
What I remember clearest is having to scramble him up that damn tower with those horrible controls. Never again. NEVER again.
Delta Spark NO THANKS BRO
"Horror Entertainment" seems to be basically the same thing as WWE calling wrestling "Sports Entertainment". It shows that they don't understand what their fans want.
Not to mention it implicitly says that the thing isn't actually "entertainment". As if they're ashamed to be what they really are
I can tell what they meant, though. The vast majority of horror fans are not actually scared by horror anymore. They just want entertainment that has the surface elements of horror which they identify with. That's why horror comedies are so prevalent. Evil Dead, Dead Alive, and most horror sequels after the second or third entry are all horror seen from the point of view of someone who has seen so much horror that it's lost all meaning and become funny.
@@billvolk4236 In a way, that's how I feel about horror stuff. I don't exactly enjoy being relentlessly scared so something like the Castlevania show is great cause it's like an action show in a horror world with horror monsters but it's also fun.
@DejaVoodooDoll Precisely why I lost interest years ago in thier shows, but not in wrestling itself which is why I'm currently in *love* with AEW right now. They do storylines better and have more unique and interesting wrestlers. They know how to better incorporate the story within the actual wrestling and not 20 minute monlogues.
I would disagree its an accurate term to describe pro wrestling.
There was also numerous changes to the stories of RE6 and it does show as well, take a look at Chris's campaign it was hyping up Chris's death at numerous points through out the campaign and that's because he was originally gonna die in RE6 but due to story changes instead of Chris dying it was Pierce who unlike Chris was introduced to the RE series via a comic book so this character appearing in a video game wouldn't have had a huge impact compared to Chris who has been in numerous entries for the series. Speaking of story changes Jake wasn't even originally gonna be considered Wesker's son in fact he was probably not even gonna be in RE6 but would have been replaced with Wesker himself as Wesker was considered by the team to be brought back after RE5 (which likely would have fed right into the original story arch for Chris's campaign before the change), even Helena was a replacement for another character as originally Claire was gonna be Leon's partner but since she was reserved for Revelations 2 at the time they couldn't have her in RE6.
Cursed Hawkins I’m a bad for thinking killing of Chris would have made a bigger impact? Like I love Chris but if one core character were to die I think it would make the most sense to be Chris or Jill.
@@magita1991 A lot of people (maybe even yourself Magita) grew up with the original trilogy of RE so they "bonded" with Chris and Jill as they were growing up so for Capcom to kill one of these characters off would have had a massive impact on the fan base because they grew up with this character. Its like that scene (spoilers by the way but the movie's been out a while now) in Toy Story 3 I think it was where everyone just waited to be incinerated because they knew they couldn't out run the belt.
Leon and Claire making quips to each other every 5 minutes would have deffinatky made the campaign better
I probably would have liked Leon's campaign a little more if it were Leon and Claire snarking at each other the entire game, honestly.
@@Penncentral-vr6mg Well the reason to why she wasn't included in 6 apart from her being used for Revelations 2 was also because since you encounter Sherry literally twice during Leon's campaign the interaction between the two wouldn't have been very long.
The Ada/Leon "bathtub" reference slayed me dude. Some good laughs in this video.
"Capcom lacked many big hits in the 7th generation, outside of a few exceptions" (Throws up image of Dead Rising, a shlocky B-movie styled horror game)
Capcom: We can't POSSIBLY just make Resident Evil 6 a shlocky B-movie styled horror game! That would never sell in today's market!
well they managed to kill that series too
Would've been cool if they outright connected the Dead Rising series to RE though.
RE4 was kind of a shlocky B-movie affair, and that was fucking incredible.
I tell you what happened, I have to play it that's what happened >:(
Sorry to hear :p

I've been petitioning for the return of all Silent Hill Games remastered for the X Box One Console.
I'm waiting for Doom Eternal to arrive at Game Stop.
I pre ordered the extra bonus addition of that because Doom is a favorite of mine.
I want to get Dead By Daylight I've seen walk through videos of it.
Friday the Thirteenth Game is pretty good I have this one unfortunately Savini Jason is no longer available to get.
any information on how to open the back door. Where to use the three dimensional glasses.
and what to do with the moon shine jug in virtual cabin would be most helpful. Alain wanna unlock all the passwords in virtual cabin.
I'd like to play as councilors find every Pamela Voorhees tapes.
and yes be able to kill Jason for good in Camp Crystal Lake.
another good thing about the Friday Thriteenrh game is information on the movies.
other info is about the councilors weapons used props and more.
an old game not talked about called Maxwell Manor has potential to return I think so.
and Mortal Kombat games have one that unlocks Freddy Kruger.
something a lot of fans would enjoy seeing the old slashers come back again.
Five Nights At Freddy Games are just alright. I play them every now and then but enjoy the action horror games a lot more.
and there are parody versions of the Five Nights Games. but one a lot of guys will enjoy is the Five Nights in Anime.
hot female animatronics want to kiss and rub their tits all over the new night guard. yeah it's sexy and a horror game which looks more like a comedy porno.
call of Duty Zombies is another one I have. I've also got the game Resident Evil Biohazard.
there is talk of a new Splinter Cell game I don't know when it is coming to game stores.
Quake is a game I'd like to see make another come back.
well I'm getting back to playing more action see ya later.
RE5 Barrels : **Just ignites and blows up normally.**
RE6 Barrels : **A freaking Nuke goes off infront of you.**
It's like in some old American movies where whole screen engulfed in flames.
At least its not a JPEG like some games (looks at Sonic adventure 2)
@@maegnificant Really? In RE5 they just spill over and ignite. Even RE4 had more "impactful" barrels than that.
He didn't compare the same type of barrels.The one he shows from RE6 is your classic video game red barrel. The barrels he shows from RE5 are smaller, have yellow bands/black X's on them, and there are a few of them grouped together. They are for spreading fire on the oil spills, not exploding in a plume of fire. The comparison would still hold up if these were the only barrels in RE5, but they are not. You can find your classic red barrel elsewhere in the game, pretty easily in mercenaries mode. These are the barrels he should be comparing, and when you do, the explosions aren't much different.
Sorry for posting a "Well Actually," comment.
The classic exploding barrels of RE5 and RE6 I think are identical, the flame effect on the RE6 barrels just last longer.
Can we just talk about how awesome and fun Jake's hand to hand combat is?
And how good of a character he is as well?
This was kinda my guilty pleasure...i just loved the way they even changed the hud's in every story. It also had a genius co-op system with branching paths and players coming together at some points...sometimes up to 4 players at once over multiple campaigns.
I really liked that if you played in a 4 person group, 2 would play as Sherry and Jake, and the other 2 as Chris and Piers, along with the game sticking with the chronological order of each mission, instead of the normal order.
LAME GAME
I loved that mechanic and hope other games incorporate that idea too
Clowns farting in the basement is a nice touch. Honestly Matt, you are killing it with your recent output, quality videos on a super regular basis.
Can't have enough of those Clowns farting in the basement
That idea of different characters with different play styles is kinda cool.
But it was executed poorly.
You should check out this indie game called overwatch. It's kinda like that.

I played the entire story with my cousin and it was a blast. Not necessarily a good game, but a great time.
I agree the game is fun but I feel that it missed its mark greatly and steer away too far into unknown territory and I blame the game industry not necessarily the industry but what is popular doesn't always mean it's going to be good by adding it into something that's not necessarily what it is.

RE6 has a good design of combat, even though the game lacks alot in story department, it is a very fun action game all things considered, finished story mode campaigns twice and played tons of mercenaries, mercenaries no mercy and DLC gamemodes (Onslaught, Siege and Survivors). 273 hours in total. Very fun action game, mediocre Resident Evil game.
@@katytis2012 lol
This is one of my favorite games ever, unironically. It’s one of the dumbest games I’ve ever played in my life, but holy crap it is so much fun with a friend in co-op. That being said, I’m glad this game was a critical failure of sorts, since it caused the series to go back to its roots with RE7 and RE2 Remake. Still, I love RE6 - it’s so stupid that I can’t help but absolutely love it.
I feel like a bunch of fans of re4/5 like me picked leon first and got like an hour into the walkin simulator before never playing it again. They wouldn't shut up...
It's sort of the Batman & Robin effect. A lot of the hate for that movie came down to the not-unwarranted belief that this was what superhero films were going to look like from now on and the Batman franchise was now irrevocably tainted. Nowadays, that's obviously not true, and so you've started seeing more people come out of the woodwork saying they sort of liked it, or at least enjoy it in a "fun trainwreck" kinda way. And RE6 is the same way; it's obviously very flawed, but a lot of the hatred for it on release came down to the fear that Resident Evil games would never be scary again.
You’re not the only one to say that.
Raycevick, one of the most nuanced game critics on this site, also went to bat on this very subject several years prior: th-cam.com/video/Ns19PvYKxKk/w-d-xo.html
It's actually pretty fun as a big dumb co-op game.
I actually like RE6 more than RE5. Resident Evil 5 pretends to be an action game, Resident Evil 6 knows it's an action game.
man I love RE6, it's not a great RE game, but a really fun action and coop game, always get back to it after some time, also great merc mode.
I also kind of liked RE6. I was a massive RE4 fan. Sure, 6 is a bad RE game but I enjoyed it.
Hopefully another big budget action horror game gets made by SOMEONE because I loced that shit. Even Dead Space 3 had its moments.
James Downs re 5 and 6 are amazing co-op games, any re fan who says it isn’t is just salty. It’s just not a good Re game so of course the fans were gonna be mad
as stupid as some of the writing was - I enjoyed 6 and feel like it gets a really bad rap. The mechanics were great, the graphics were great - I REALLY appreciate how ambitious they were with the character selection. That being said, with the story - It's bottom 5 in the series imo
RE6 holds a special place in my heart, I remember playing it with a friend on no hope difficulty as our first run. It's a survival horror alright, you don't have any ammo and have to rely on wonky melee system to pull through - Chris' campaign was hell on earth. But it was still genuinely fun, even if it's the exact opposite of the classic RE formula.
Aside from that, I felt really entertained by the sheer insanity and cheesiness of the plot and setpieces, lightspeed pacing and over the top voice acting and dialogue in cutscenes. It has this sort of unique charm to it that is hard to explain, and, while I might catch flak for that, RE series to me was always cheesy, be it in form of Barry "You Were Almost A Jill Sandwich" Burton, giant secret laboratories built under mansions/railway stations/cathedrals/etc, generic doomsday plots or virus strain of the week with increasingly convoluted effects.
I've always loved this about the series and have grown to expect that sort of charm from future RE titles.
Re6 has the best Mercenaries
@@solidsnake4236RE4 Remake Mercenaries: hold my beer
@@jonahbrown5669 Laugh in 5.
RE has been a long running victim of 'We need to go bigger' with every instalment. I've never found the global scope settings to be as effective as 'here's a claustrophobic building with lots of secrets in the middle of nowhere, go and explore.' Less is more as they say, and RE6 very much became a victim of its own stupid scale.
I wouldn't even rate RE5 that highly were it not for Wesker being the main villain. That character literally carried what was otherwise a mediocre game reliant on clumsy AI support.
David Bates exactly! Going bigger isn’t always better, especially for a franchise like RE. I mean I think the smaller more claustrophobic setting is one of the things that made RE7 really good imo.
@@jeremyroberts8822 RE7 is so overrated it's crazy. Lol Atleast RE6 had replayability.. RE7 is BORING AF on your 2nd or 3rd playthrough.
I never played RE7 so can't really comment, but the top RE experiences for me were definitely the mansion, the island in Code Veronica, RE4's castle etc etc. But I've always been a bit more of a puzzle and exploration gamer.
I think that's why I'm a bit more into Silent Hill even though the gameplay has always been a rung below RE's. Having a static map and opening areas up I find far more interesting than running down the static corridor with an open world background taking potshots at the things moving on the side.
Agreed but I did like 5. It was fun to play and was one single adventure, not like the clusterfuck that was RE6.
This game would have been better if i was in it
Honestly it was a chance to get leon/claire and chris/jill teams again. Jake was fine, but introducing 3 new characters in a game doesnt give much time to develop them
Yeah! Where were you and Jill? I'm not mad, just disappointed. Things went decently well, but I'm sure the other guys would've appreciated you being there
Your bro has a steroid problem, get the talking pillow ready coz it's time for an intervention.
@@felixcastro6844
True.
@@felixcastro6844 good point
Even Revelations 2 had a heavy emphasis on survival horror, with most of the super action stuff being involved with enemies rather than super cgi spectacles. Actually got the shit scared out of me at times
@@paulakroy2635 Compared to 6 ? Nah it was god send.
I got to playing it after all those years, and it was a breath of fresh air after i played 5-6... It is clunky, and the ttalent system is dogshit, but ambiance is at least cool ...
Revelations 2 is great. Don't care about the graphics, they are good enough. Better than 6, 7 and RE3 Remake.
@@captainredfield1179 They're definitely not better than 7 /remake. Better than 6, but that's all.
Game is good, but it's not visually better than the most recent entries.
@@crysosisback7115 I didn't mean it was visually better than the recent ones. I meant I liked it more than 6,7 and the 3 Remake. I have to admit, that this wasn't clear.
@@captainredfield1179 Oh well
Well then i'd say i prefer 2remake over it, but it's better than 3remake and 6 (especially 6, even if in coop it's "a decent game", it's still a shit resident evil overall)
“It’s so dense. Every single frame has something going on in it.” - Capcom exec
RE6, also known as the absolute best mercenaries game that sadly cost a ton of money
Huh?
To this day it is still the only game that perfected the mercenaries experience due to it's surprisingly diverse gameplay controls.
That's part of the reason I say re 6 was a proper conclusion. Everything built since 4 came to a head both narratively and mechanically. Mercenaries is by far my favorite game mode and 6 was the best, plus l4d characters on steam. As much as people hate 6 a lot was taken from it to make the REmakes. Love it or hate it there will never be another game quite like re6
I want Lost Planet back!
Oh god yes remember what they did to the third one?
Lost Planet RP:
1. Get hit
2. Sit through a 15 second long animation of your character getting back up - whilst getting hit some more
3. Get back up
4. Get hit
5. Sit through a 15 second long animation of your character stumbling
6. Get back up
7. Get hit
8. Sit through a 25 second animation of a boss doing some sort of unavoidable damage to you
9. Scream loudly
10. Keep playing with a red face
You and me both, man. You and me both.
So we got our RE6 cheesy action-fest, and this convinced Capcom to redo the classic games and stick to the more horror-based elements that made the series so popular to begin with?
This is basically the "having your cake and eating it too" for RE fans.
@Esben M
I'll dig it. I'm a Kingdom Hearts fan AND a college student; time is a theoretical concept to me.
Speaking of Capcom games that were simplified to the point where it turned away it's hardcore fans, Dead Rising 4 when?
Deadass forgot DR4 even existed. That was such a dumpster fire of a game
You got your wish. 🙂
ngl still a very fun game after all these years but yeah it was also a step down from the prevous series
The biggest problem in terms of enjoyability was that virtually every enemy had attacks that triggered QTE. Get swarmed by basic zombies and you are hammering buttons constantly. The game is way more fun on easy because they are automatic.
Take that away and you've got a pretty decent action game.
@@zeroattentiongaming820 My thoughts exactly
@@DMCMaster550 The difference is that the enemies in RE4 and 5 aren't constantly spamming their grab attacks in huge groups like the ones in 6. 6 might give you more mechanics to deal with it, but that requires a higher skill level just to avoid them than 4 and 5. A baseline skill level to make the game not annoying instead of to meet a challenge.
As a RE fan, I hate Resident Evil 6 but I find it fascinating to analyse. So I really liked this video. And I also really liked the conclusion about the "necessary evil". I agree. Would The Dark Knight have existed without the disaster of Batman and Robin?
This was my first game into the series. Personally I loved it. I liked the characters and the multiple story's, because each one felt different. I had fun playing 7 but I dunno I just didn't like it as much as 6. It's not because don't like horror games; I love them. I just didn't like it as much
I played every RE game.
RE6 was fun af.
@@eastbayej I've played almost all RE games and I can say that RE6 is one of the most fun specially with a friend, but for a resident evil game it had too much action, but at the same time it really was needed if we wanted to have a masterpiece like RE2 remake, I respect RE6 for what it did and I hope there are more games like it in the future as spinoffs.
I'm not gonna lie, the main thing that turned me off from 6 was the villain...
You have badass mofos who destroy the world for philosophical or evil reasons that are likeable, feared and honored the way they should be.
Then there's Simmons, whos entire reason for wanting the world gone was because his uncomfortable, (almost sexual harassment based) advances on Ada Wong were denied.
His boss fights were the most annoying things to do.
And it wasn't even the fighting that got me.
It was his dialogue.
(When he was humanoid or in a state where he could talk)
Every line he had was based around Leon not being good enough for Ada or some such.
It felt more like I was fighting someone's crazy obsessed ex-boyfriend than an evil badguy.
Not to mention the fact that he just kept coming back over, and over, and over again.
And I thought Weskers Tentacle Tornado in RE5's final battle was an annoying mechanic.
*Random crap below*
(The bounce from survival horror to heavy action was a bummer as well.)
There's was a few things I liked about the game, like bits of Leon's campaign and Sherry returning to the series.
But other than that it was meh.
Personal Rating would be a 6 out of 10.
I'd definitely play it again but in parts rather than a continuous playthrough.
It took me an my brother about 4 to 5 years just to finish it because it wasn't all that enjoyable to us.
If I remember correctly it wasn't simmons who wanted the world gone he just wanted to cover up the beans from being spilled from the president. Spoilers
It was Ada wong's doppelganger carla radames that wanted to destroy the world.
@@surandissidus3243
Actually yeah, you might be right.
But still, Simmons comes off as a guy who got rejected by his favorite CamGirl who he donated all his Schmeckles to.
@@mtnd02.06 He was the original simp
@@mtnd02.06 Simmons is probably the weakest villain in the series and we have Marcus in RE0. Simmons lacks the charm of bad guys in previous game's Wesker and his main goal is to keep truth hidden and obsessively wants Ada badly. Like you said, its like simpy crazy boyfriend trying to kill her ned boyfriend.
Holy crap, I forgot Umbrella Corp was ever a thing.
THAT's a bad, BAD game
"Pfst, I'm not at the beach, this is a bathtub!"
*MY DAD'S NOT A PHONE! DUUH!*
IM NOT A PART OF THE SYSTEM
@@saixpuppy631
Haha Leon is not a part of the system 😎
The RE 6 combat system had way more depth than alot of people realize or give it credit for. If it were in a proper action game, not supposed to be horror like RE? Would've been cool.
I really loved this game as it's really funny at some moments. The slow af but ridiculously huge explosion wave at the start of the game was especially just amazing
What happened was it was the shittiest RE game since RE5.
I thought this was a good game, if a bad Resident Evil game-- I did enjoy playing it but am very glad the franchise navigated away from this approach for subsequent games.
I liked it when it wasn't throwing a vehicle section at me every other level (exaggerating). The story mode was honestly the worst part of the game. Mercenaries is where RE6 shines.
@@Arsio12 Hate to break it to you but MOST RE games have lame main stories lol. 4?... it's basically a clithe 90s action movie. 5 was BORING unless Wesker was on screen being awesome.
I just loved all of the Resident Evils
I see you everywhere 😅
Could you do what happened to Sreet Fighter x Tekken? You can explain that mess better.
That's the reason why new games now a days mostly feel unfinished and not appealing, coz they weren't ready. Game companies expect to much to be done not factoring the polishing time needed. But, hey, I really like RE:6 coz I get to play with my family. Good old couch coop with lots of campaigns. Proverbial bang for buck, but its still good nontheless.
Your videos are really high quality and really informative with just the right satire. Keep up the good work, but, like these gaming companies right, don't lose yourselves on what people always ask of you.
"RE:3 Nemesis remake which launches in a few weeks and I *honestly cannot wait for*-"
Hindsight is 2020 and this hurt to hear
I enjoyed the game quite a bit.
The backlash and mixed response to RE3R makes no sense to me. I thought that it was great.
@@dvt1393 it was great. Just wish it was 4 hours longer.
@@dvt1393 it only makes s sense of you've played the original
@@kaidms Yeah, that's mostly what I've heard, that it's fine on its own, but kinda disappointing compared to the original, due to not being as faithful as RE2make.
Most of my initial enjoyment of RE6 was nostalgia. "WOAH all my favorite characters and i can play as Sherry hell yeah." Called up a friend and played split screen. It also has the best version of Mercenaries. But..... it doesn't balance the action and horror as well as 4 and felt a little old. RE4 was so amazing because it was a departure from traditional RE formula while retaining the tone and tension. RE needs to continually make drastic gameplay changes like 4 and 7 did to stay fresh. 6 failed to really do this but its still a very enjoyable game.
Has RE5 stopped being divisive or something? Cuz I remember people totally hating it for years after it came out
Opinions seem to have softened on it over the years, likely because it's still a better game than 6.
I still think capcom really jumped the shark with RE5, but they at least had the sense to turn the series around starting with RE7 so I can kinda forgive them.
@@KataokaTV RE7 was garbage. The story was filled with holes. I need your crack dealer, you're on that reality bending stuff.
I lament RE6 because for all of its flaws and failings, I really feel like Capcom meant well with it. Granted, the road to hell is paved with good intentions and few games illustrate that so well, but between the interweaving storylines and the more refined combat and movement from past games, you can definitely see glimmers of brilliance in RE6 if you look at individual aspects in a vacuum. They could've made a great gun kata game or they could've made a great RE game but the two just mix like oil and water and you're left with this action game trying way too hard to incorporate horror elements because its namesake dictates so. I wouldn't mind another game like RE6 if it was a new IP that stayed as far away from RE as possible because at the very least, I can sort of see why Capcom would think this direction was a good idea on the cutting room floor even if this was very much not how to do it. There's something with potential here, but that something isn't a RE game.
Well, Resident Evil 6 is still one of my favorites in the franchise. I found it better than 5. It's not really a horror game, but as an action game, it is amazing.
5:38 that is one sexy-ass transition Matt! A winner is you 💀💀💀💀
Playing it again right now and enjoying the hell out of it. As long as you don't expect a survival horror game and take it for what it is, it delivers IMO.
it’s literally a survival horror tho☠️there are still some scary things in the game which is why i never understood why ppl always say this
@@d2solo scary things in a game doesnt automatically make it a horror game. And its not really a ''Survival'' game if you effortlesy kill everything that moves
Man, I don't know how you crank out quality info-tainment like this on such a consistent schedule, but this is some of my favorite stuff on TH-cam lately
"Horror Entertainment"? Did they put Vince McMahon in charge of this one?
Okay, saying this before I even watch the video, but I thought RE6 was fun. Please don't stone me.
I loved when a tiny cutscene would stop me in my tracks to show me a door was opening up, especially because is happend every 2 minutes
People are allowed to like things. It's just better as a whole if they don't do so blindly and without appreciation for how they could be flawed.
