About the hate.

[mert20004]

Did this game really deserve the hate it got?

I dont think it did. Never understood the complaints for this game.

Action? Well re games started to become more action oriented with 2nd game anyways. This also continued in re3 and recv so it didnt suddenly happen with re4 when the mainline entries became action horror. This also continued in re5 and finally re6. Basically the transition from survival horror to action horror made sense; both from gameplay and story perspective.

Here's how ı feel about the game:

I wasnt even aware the game was hated on tbh; when ı 1st played the game, ı was having a lot of fun. Maybe ı had an enjoyable time cause ı played the game on pc with keyboard and mouse instead of gamepad. Not to mention re6 was the 1st re game that ı played. I eventually learned of other games' existance and played them all too excluding mercenaries 3d.

The game did a lot of things I liked. I enjoyed the different perspectives and in the end all came together. The game was more action oriented from it's previous games but it was still fun to play through.

I am old gamer in my 40's and not particularly judgmental. I don't make comparisons because I think the game try to do something different because if you keep doing the same thing, it becomes stale.

I remember playing through it and found myself enjoying it a lot and just confused why people were so hot headed over it.

If you enjoyed it, that's all that matters!

No, it didn't.

Resident Evil 5 and 6 both received mass hate from fans due to not being the exact same games as what came before. RE fans seem to prefer that their entire series would remain identical throughout instead of trying new things and changing between entries to keep things fresh.

[mert20004]

Glad you guys agree.

Plus ı think this game is better than re7 and reimaginings. I dont really understand why this game is considered as the worst or one of the worst.

I think it's one of the best.

If it ain't broken, don't fix it. RE4 is about as action-oriented as a RE game should get; it was just about perfect. 5 had clunky controls with a retarded AI partner who kept on dying. 6 had OK control with TOO MUCH action and a semi-retarded AI who wouldn't shoot at a zombie 5 feet away even when commanded to.

I haven't played 0, original remake, 2 and 3 remake yet. For now, RE Rev and RE4 remain as my favourite RE titles.

Re4 isnt perfect. It also has flaws just like any game. Besides re4 is more clunky than re5.

As for re6; it has better controls than other re games. Partner aı is better than re5's aı too.

I like the game but it has some issues and the cutscenes and QTEs are ridiculous. The AI partners wouldn't be a problem except for certain points in the game like the co-op stages, esp. the giant monster stage and the airlock in Chris's campaign with the spawning snipers and machine gunners... I wouldn't even want an AI partner to be too effective, and at least they don't cause game overs like Sheva, but those parts should certainly have been tested to be less annoying when playing solo.

I miss the cool combat moves when playing the other games, even if they aren't that useful. I hope they'd make a game with an improved version of RE6's combat, it wouldn't have even to be a RE game. They already started Devil May Cry like that, so why not another series...

[mert20004]

I dont get the negative reviews for this game. I was looking at some of them through steam and they suck at the game while blaming it for their mistakes smh.

No wonder they screwed up the franchise with paranormal hazard 7 and non-canon reimaginings...

[mert20004]

Another thing that ı dont understand is dmc reboot. Why does that even have such a high review ranking, more so than re6's reviews which is " mostly positive " rather than " very positive " ? Do people like easy games or what?

I tried that game and thought ı could like it since ı liked re6 which is also a controversial game just like that reboot and apparently both games were released at similar time but no. It's trash unlike re6 which is good and imo better than re4, re5, rerev, re7, reimaginings as well as all spinoffs excluding outbreak games. I dont take people who say " Re6 is the worst re game. " seriously.

I'm not a big fan of the removal of lock on; it makes combat such a chore in some areas. Not to mention some of the attacks like stinger are " Forward + forward attack " instead of " Lock on + forward attack " which doesnt feel comfortable to do. The combat system isnt as good as the ones in dmc1 / dmc3 / dmc4 / dmc5 either; it feels like the depth is removed from it when compared to those games despite some small improvements here and there. The thing that feels the most annoying to me is the angel / demon system; ı prefer weapon switching in other games instead of holding l1 / r1 to use another type of weapon. Thankfully guns arent affected by this but other melee weapons other than rebellion are and ı wasnt a fan of this. I dont like the l2 / r2 dodge system either; classic dmc dodge system is better and feels more comfortable. Colored enemies are another thing ı dont like; ı honestly dont think they should had appeared in the game.

Apparently the definitive edition improves the game but for some reason; it isnt available on pc so ı cant comment how much the game feels improved with that version.

Even the " Why re6 is awesome. " video talks about this.

didn't realize its been hated until i came on steam....when i first played it i enjoyed hella lot,
but then again i started from re4, so i can understand the hate of the veterans.

Well, re 6 is very different from other re games so that splitted the fan base. There a lot of QTE that are a little ridiculous but the game is still fun.

I just wonder if the haters had any friend to play with. Because this is way less fun, even a little boring without a friend.

The reason I dislike it is because of the poor design choices. The separated pause screen and options menu, getting hit during cutscenes and performing automated actions while sprinting. If there's one thing I do like, it's the counterattack mechanic.

What do you think about re4 and re5? Do those games bother you in any way? Personally ı cant stand tank controls in those games, especially after playing outbreak file 2 which allows moving and shooting unlike re4 and re5. Re6 has flaws but they arent as annoying as re4 and re5's flaws imo.

Yeah; the qte amount in re6 is unnecessary though ı still prefer re6's qtes over re4 and re5's cause they are more easier to perform, some of them can be disabled and there's a skill that makes qtes even more easier.

I wished they followed this game's story. I dont like how re7 feels confused whether it wants to be a reboot or not with its disconnected story. Crapcom convoluting the past with non-canon reimaginings doesnt help either.

It's a shame; ı thought the story was good in this game. Characters are likeable ( Though helena is still an expy of angela. ) , campaigns connect to each other ( unlike re2 2019 ) , good character development, underrated villains, nice backstory within the files etc.

Too bad most people are obsessed with the survival horror aspect of the franchise and nothing more.

i should probably mention that Silent Hill was on the rise as Resident Evil turned to action, as well as other horror videogames. had Resident Evil tried to keep it's horror facade, it would have died a long time ago.

as well, it would have recieved criticism for stagnation HAD they kept the horror exclusive aspect. they already were being criticised for sticking with the Fixed Camera Tank Control scheme that they used in just about every game prior to RE Remake and Zero.

that being said, horror themes that are well done, even in an action oriented setting, can work to great effect. look at games such as FEAR and Dead Space. both fairly action oriented, but with horror themes that can succeed in scaring the player, but not bore them in repeat playthroughs, keeping that action style that can maintain longevity.

it's like an RPG that has more talking than actual gameplay. even if you did like the story, would you really go back to that? no, you would find something with more interactivity to replay. horror games do not offer that longevity, that sense of "maybe i want to play this again in a few weeks, that was fun".

i'm actually legitimately impressed with the level of complexity used to tackle the inter connectivity of the campaigns. for instance, in Jake's campaign, when you first fight the Chainsaw BOW (forgot it's name) it almost appears out of nowhere, but was part of a conflict prior. when you fight the same thing on a train prior as Ada Wong, you can see how that connects, as Ada knocks it off the train into the street where you fight it as Jake.

and fighting Ustanak as Leon, you have absolutely no idea what the thing is. you only learn about it again two campaigns later when you evade it as Jake.

there's probably more, but these are what stand out the most to me personally.
