Magazines take money to review.
When they don't get money they sometimes backlash.
So, don't trust reviewers blindly.

Honestly I think some are but then again those people want a return to the survival horror that they have come to know as Resident Evil. Which I think is perfectly justified and fair; given the way games have been turning out I can understand why they are mad especially since it has become more action-y. Though quite frankly I still quite enjoy it and at the end of the day it just comes down to personal preference anyway :|
cleft5  +   812d ago
It's fine to want the game to return to the survival horror origins, but it's not okay to pretend like RE6 is the worse game ever because it's an action game and not a survival horror game. This trend by "hardcore" gamers to just hate on stuff without good reason is not only disgusting, but it is going to lead to fan feedback not being taken seriously.
Kyosuke_Sanada  +   812d ago
The problem is you know that and so does almost everyone else but Capcom flip-flopped consumers saying one day that it is survival horror then saying it isn't shortly after.

Then there are many sites that have labelled it under survival horror when its everything but...

I agree with your thoughts in the matter and if I was official reviewer I would have given it a much higher because a 1 out of 5 or anything along those lines is unplayable in my eyes. But in exchange remove the survival horror tag on it and file it under action/shooter...

True very true I can't really respond as to their thoughts as I like the game and have been playing it a lot recently so I can't get into their mindset.


Also what Kyo stated I even went to the No Hope Left website last night and it gives the feeling of Survival horror. My best guess is that dlc chapters will come out that will give it survival horror or at least put the characters in such a situtation.

I don't think anybody is claiming RE6 is the worst game ever, but if people are disappointed with it then that's their prerogative. And as a stand-alone game, it still has a lot of problems that quite frankly shouldn't be seen in a AAA title. If it was a new IP, I reckon people would be a lot harsher on it for its faults.
Baka-akaB  +   811d ago
"I don't think anybody is claiming RE6 is the worst game ever"

Except that's actually what some people are doing in droves , in a rather sheepish way , i'm afraid .

Some had their own opinions , strongly against or otherwise , some others are just following the trend .

I can actually vouch for the existence of many idiots that never touched a resident evil before RE5 , that couldnt bother with "old and ugly ps1 and gamecube games" , complaining about the horror being gone in RE6 .

That's ridiculous

The question is whether or not people are being to hard on RE6 but rather why AREN'T they hard on other gaming franchises as well? Let's see if Dead Space 3 would get the same criticism considering what they're doing is in parralel to the mentality of RE6.

If you played it you can say what ever you want about it, if you never play it you should have no opinion on the game.
majiebeast  +   812d ago
No they had 500 people working on this game and none of them knows the first thing about basic gameplay.

-So many cutscenes in the midst of a boss battle is just terrible and just kills of the encounter.
-Horrible implementation of QT events.
-Terrible camera control.
-Recycling the same boss over and over and over again.
-Just completely killing of the horror aspect in a horror game

This game is just bad from the core how someone from the Q and A department didnt blow his brains out playing this crap over and over again is beyond me i could barely play it once. The rope climbing bit in Leon's campaign the guy that came up with that should never ever ever ever work in the game industry again.

They tried to get the brogamer market but instead they lost and their old fanbase and didnt attract a new 1.


Newsflash DA2 was a terrible game that took everything that DA1 did well and fucked it up. I loved Dragon age i couldnt even take 8 hours of Dragon age 2.

People are just jumping on the hate train. They did the same thing with DA2 and ME3. RE6 is just the new game to hate. Oh and by the way, RE6 is going to sell well so deal with it.
razrye  +   811d ago
well said friend. People are being too hard on this game. I bet most are only commenting because of the demo.
cleft5  +   811d ago
It's a fun action game and it definitely progresses the RE storyline. I understand people being disappointed that this isn't a survival horror game but too cry like this is just disgusting. I just finished 2 of 4 campaigns a I really like the game. It's a well made game overall and Agent Hunt mode really surprised me at how much fun it is to invade in the RE games.
SeraphimBlade  +   812d ago
I've been playing it and it is BAD but it's like 5-6 out of 10 bad, not 2's and 3's. A lot of people seem to be giving it bad scores to "send a message" but when the company usually makes 8-9 quality games, and you give it a 5 or 6, isn't that enough of a message? Don't take it out on the game. Make that reason #438 number scores suck.

One word why I kinda like this: effort. I have never seen this much effort put into a game this fundamentally flawed. It has a LOT of good ideas and hell, even the story has some good moments, but the gunplay is so royally screwed in the more action-driven places, and there are a million little wtf design choices. There IS fun to be had with it, it's just very poorly designed.

"but when the company usually makes 8-9 quality games.."

You my friend r very wrong because u cant understand something here, the triple-A games some companies made in the past was not possible because CAPCOM or KONAMI or SQUARESOFT or BLIZZARD make them, there is no company out there that have a magic stick & everything they make turn to gold.

It's all about some individuals with gr8 vision & ideas that make the realization of those dream-games true, the big scores of some games & the critical aclaim from every1 professional critics & gamers alike was possible because Mikami was in the past behind RE, because Team Silent was behind SH, because Sagakuchi was behind FF, because Blizzard North was behind Diablo.

So that's what happen when the original creators that made this franchises so successful leave their respected companies & some random dudes assigned to make the sequels & continue this vision, ofc they cant be so talented like the original creators, geniuses cant be found so easy after all.

So in the end I just want to fix your misunderstanding there, a big budget game from a big/well known company it doesn't mandatory means big scores because that's what u say there & that's definitely wrong way of thinking.

SeraphimBlade  +   811d ago
Uh, okay then. Not really the point I was trying to make at all there, but thanks?

Really though, the idea of the gaming "auter" gets completely overblown, especially in AAA productions. Yes, there are SOME talented people that can pull a great game together like that, Mikami is one of them, as are Miyamoto and Kojima. But as games get bigger and bigger, you need equally talented people handling everything from source code to level design to freaking lighting.

Also - and I sincerely mean this to be helpful - if "u" or "any1" types out entire paragraphs using txt-spk complete with UN-CALLED-FOR CAPITALIZATION, no matter how "gr8" your argument is, it becomes impossible to read, and people are not going to bother.

The sub 50% reviews for this game are facepalm worthy. You may not like the game and it may not by the Resident Evil you ordered but it is not broken. You can't give a 3 or whatever the trolls at Destructiod handed out to a game of this quality.

With that said, some of these scores are way too high in my opinion... GT should be ashamed of themselves. I expect it from Gameinformer, who's sole job is to convince you to buy stuff at Gamestop (preferably used ;)), but Gametrailers?

I played the demo and have no interest in playing Army of Two: Zombie addition. I would forgive the action and abandoned roots if I could just play alone without a tag along stopping me from opening doors...

Are people being too hard on resident evil 6 ? no, not hard enough, shows em right trying to dilute the true horror from this beloved franchise.
oldfriend86  +   812d ago
Yes and no.

Yes, because there's a lot of trust issues between us fans and Capcom. And sometimes that mistrust influences our take on the recent games. I don't like Capcom for many reasons, but I feel a 3/10 or below, like all those '0' scores from users on Metacritic are an unfair grade for RE6.

And no, because clearly the game HAS problems with it. This is besides the fact that RE derailed so far from what it used to be. Even when it's trying to be an action game, it sucks. I could go through several of the hallways and streets killing zombies and even though some changes were kind of cool; playing RE6 just wasn't all that fun. Even Mercenaries didn't have the same flair it used to have. As mindless as RE5 was, at least it was fun.
Knight_Crawler  +   811d ago
Take a good look at that avatar of your and remember the sweet memories from old school Mega Man because as soon as Capcom is done raping RE for it name they will move on to the next victim.

Get ready to play Mega Man in FPS mode and have him holding an AK47 and riding bikes.
AdmiralSnake  +   812d ago
Lol people are exaggerating it. They make it sound like this is one of the worse games ever. It really isn't, the game just frustrates a lot of people.

Kind of weird because most people complain it, haven't even bought or played the game period lol.

Still I think people need to get over the fact, this is an action horror now. The thing is, Capcom didn't do a great job with the action sequences in this game, so the complaining from the ones who bought it, is justified.

I have no problem if this is the route Capcom wants to take, the issue is making it enjoyable, not plaguing the game with a bunch of annoying slightly broken mechanics.
Carl_Shocker  +   811d ago
Urgh...I hate the type of peple who think old fans should get over it or move on after a developer gives the fans the middle finger and ruins there franchise for a more mainstream audience.

We were here first, were the ones who got RE were it is today we shouldn't have to just "move on" because people like you now find the series appealing after they've ruined it for older fans.

If old fans of a franchise have to move on everytime a game gets ruined and they are given the middle finger then they are just going to be jumping from franchise to franchise all the time.

"I have no problem if this is the route Capcom wants to take"

So your fine with them making average RE games....yeah ok then, good for you but not all of us are easily pleased like you.

I never knew I had to break things down when I thought the things that I typed here would be for anybody to understand. I guess judging by your comment I was mistaken, okay let me break it down for you, I forgot I've seen your comments before and you come off as a smartass/ know it all.

1. When I said "I have no problem if this is the route Capcom wants to take."

I was clearly talking about the action horror way. There's a good way of doing this and a bad way, Capcom has a mediocre way of doing it which pisses a lot of people off.

Going back to the "old ways" won't do anything if they introduce broken and annoying Mechanics.

Who said I was fine with that ? Who said I was pleased with it ?

Um no, they really need to get over it because that is really the direction Capcom wants to take, the issue is Capcom hasn't done it WELL.

IF they actually did the Action horror and it was good, would you still complain about it not being old ?

As I've stated before, Resident Evil 6 isn't a bad game. It does have a lot of issues that can frustrate a lot of people.

If they wanna do an action horror type thing, they need to do it the right way.

Cool you were here first, that's a nice bio. However I'm here now and I've bought it, I'll critique the game how I see fit. I bought Resident Evil 4, and the mechanics on there is annoying to, still I enjoyed it for what it is.

Resident Evil 4 has a lot of action also.. and people consider that the best Resident Evil game out of the entire series.

So it's not even that is has action, the issue is in Capcom and how they develop it. On that note, I'm done and tired of debating with the "old fans" of the series.

W/e you wanna deem yourself, because I'm pretty sure most people who bought Resident evil, have played some of the games on the older console.

Of course much like FF13 delima, people believe some new breed just popped out of nowhere and bought it lol.
amaguli  +   811d ago
True, Resident Evil has been moving more towards action starting with 4.

It's funny how some people react. Mikami saw that Case 0 (the last true Resident Evil) did not have such a good reception, so he thought to inject some action into it to stay relevant.

However, we can agree that Capcom has gone just a tiny bit overboard with the action elements with Resident Evil 6.
GrahamGolden  +   811d ago
leon campaign alone is better than res 5

chris well its crap except one part at chapter 3 i think were u need to chase a snake inside building..the atmosphere inside was strong,but the rest is full crap awful tps mechanics

Jake despite been cool as a character his campaign was the lamest of all

Ada my sec fav campaign after leon but way too short

anw res6=leon-ada
the rest is crap

I would give this game an 8 to 8.5. It is not the best, but it is engaging and that is what I want from a game.
KEEPNITREAL  +   811d ago
I agree with you 100% with the 8 or 8.5 it's not perfect , but doesn't bother me that it's not identical like other resident evil games , as for me I'm enjoying the game. I've played all of them. I'm a proud owner of all systems !

The game does what it is sent out to do. Not like that mess of a game called skyrim which doesn't work on any system. Good game mind you but glitched to shit. No glitches on res 6 so far. Just try the game. Leon's preferably lol
Mikefizzled  +   811d ago
Old franchises like this have to adapt. Granted Capcom did adapt it too much for a casual audience but there isn't many actually scary survival horror games out these days.

Resident Evil 6 is awesome and an improvement in every way. Does anyone remember Sheva? God she sucked and you had to save her all the time so partner A.I. stepped up. 2nd, does anyone remember what a pain in the ass joining a co-op game was in 5? In 6 it's way more painless. 3rd Finally I can strafe, improvement there. People are seriously complaining about zombies with guns, Does anyone even remember mercenaries mode in 4 there was a giant dude with a chain gun, RE5 as well. 4th Melee actually works now and doesn't suck. 5'th story intersections were you can intersect with four other online players on their own independent team journey has never really been done before, nice. and finally 6'th We as the players have options. We can play as 7 different characters, We can now switch and swap gun-fighting and hand to hand on the fly, Hell we can even play as the bad-guys if we want in Agent Hunt Mode. Everyone wants too see a god fall so 1 reviewer gives it a horrid review and everyone else falls in line. Seriously IGN you gave GTA4 a 10 and that game sucked so bad I put it down and shelved it. Bottom line if your a true fan of all things RE your gonna play it and if you loved 5 your definitely gonna love it. Gaming is always progressing if you wanna play in the past and not evolve go download the ps1 classics. It's not about the reviewers people in the end we're the ones playing it and it's only our opinions that matter.

TXIDarkAvenger  +   811d ago
I've played it and its pretty good for the most part. Leon's campaign is my favorite so far. I didn't look at RE6 like a survival-horror but instead an action game which is exactly what it is. And for an action game, it isn't quite bad. As a long time RE fan, I enjoyed this game but I wish they stuck with survival horror rather than more action and the zombies don't feel like zombies. TBH there not even zombies, more like infected which kind of blows...I mean infected with guns!?. Every element that makes a survival horror game survival horror was lost in this installment. I never had a moment where I was like "Oh shit, Oh Shit!" because I barely ran out of ammo and when I did, I could always kick/punch my way through. Few scenes made me jump but for the most part, this game wasn't scary. Capcom shouldn't of made this series an action game to appeal to Western audience. Anyways, can't wait for Project Zwei
Nemesis4567  +   811d ago
People aren't being too hard, you have to call a spade a spade. This game has an awful storyline, terrible camera issues, and most importantly not fun to play. Gamers (both 360/ps3) spend their hard earned money to play what they expect to be a great game, and yet they make excuses for the developers shortcomings? I've actually seen some people agree about how terrible the camera is, how uninteresting the story is and still give it a 10 out of 10. This doesn't help the situation. Fans need to wake up the developers and quick.
