This is the Worst Resident Evil game? (storywise)

[Q]

Maybe not, there's gun survivor and the game boy titles or resident evil umbrella corps and resistance.
But Storywise this is certainly one of the worst RE games ever made.

Resident Evil 5 certainly killed the saga by destroying Spencer, Wesker and Umbrella arc, yet it's a fun game, the mercenaries and versus mode is so much fun but there's no denying that the story was trash.

Wesker kills ******spoiler****** spencer, one of the most mysterious figures in the saga gone within seconds, wesker is just a lab experiment who tries to destroy the world because ppl are evil, what happened with all the virus hoarding and secret plans?

Capcom realized the mistake they made by killing wesker and umbrella so they brought NEO UMBRELLA for RE6 (which has absolutely nothing to do with original umbrella, there's zero relation between both) and surprise surprise.... Wesker has a son, absolutely mindblowing!

how come did wesker dare to have intercourse with some random unknown european woman and conceive a child while being infected with the experimental virus that Birkin gave him not long ago? at least keep an eye on your little experiment but no, he just forgot bout it and the possible consequences, a genious like him doing such thing is absolutely absurd.

dont get me started with sherry and jake's relationship, imagine Birkin and Wesker in hell talking about it.

Birkin: dude, wesker... i didn't know you had a son, and guess what? you won't believe this, my daughter and your son are together fighting BOWs, saving the world being a team dude just like you and me, what a coincidence omg this is destiny

Wesker: IKR who would ever thought that i had a son somewhere in some random east european country working as a mercernary meeting your daughter because conveniently she was there in the exact same day, hour, place etc amazing, destiny no doubt.

What happened with "the family" that ridiculous attempt of creating some sort of secret illuminati reptilian NWO secret society? it's been like 11 years since that plot and capcom just ditched that story and brought "tEh coNnECtioNS" instead and Miranda.

And the ustanak just a nemesis knockoff another frankenstein chasing us with poor background and barely anyone remembers this creature.

And there's so much more, what happened next? Capcom just did a soft reboot of the series, they realized RE wasn't RE anymore, it was more like a michael bay movie packed with action and some horror elements but it wasn't survival horror.
This along the massive success of 1st person survival horror games like Amnesia, Outlast, Soma, Alien Isolation, Five nights at freddy's etc was the reason to reboot the series and create RE7 a great game no doubt but capcom dropped the ball again with RE8 (mommy dimitrescu and magneto/van helsing guy...).

so what do you think? do you like RE6 story? you think there's worse?

It's not perfect, that's for sure. I thought the soundtrack was more inspired than some other games - gotsta count for something!!

I hear you, can't say it better by myself. I like RE6 its story, cinematcis, music and feels. Man, composer did awesoem job. But I agree with you. Spencer, top secret societies and secret science is somewhere lost in the background.

Of everything wrong with this game, the story isn't any worse than the rest of them. It's not a plot driven series.

[Narrowmind]

6 is, far and away, plot driven.

Tbh it's not even worst 5 material. RE0, Code Veronica, RE7 and 8, and honestly probably RE5 if we're being real since other than Wesker catharsis 5 is kinda poor.

There's not much you can call 6 out for that other games in the franchise don't do exponentially worse. QTEs? 4. Run and Gun gameplay [for Chris at least]? 5. Crazy ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ virus nonsense and clones? Literally been a thing since 1 and 2 right down to summoning impossible amounts of mass. Less than perfect controls? This is the franchise that coined the term "tank controls" for ♥♥♥♥'s sake. Really over the top doomsday plot? Raccoon City was *nuked* to contain [and failed to do so actually] the spread of T, and Revelations had T-Abyss deliberately be noted as the one virus actually so apocalyptic that the people who made it actively hushed it up for once and even then the entire Mediterranean is still contaminated anyway. And later on 7 is just a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ dime a dozen "Spooky family secret run and hide" game with the resident evil name slapped on it and no shared gameplay beyond references and a vague "Survival horror!" label that doesn't past the sniff test because everything about the game is so vastly different beyond "resources are not infinite" while 8 proceeds to have Capcom rifle through Konami's dead franchises to do pastiches of and has you fight Titty Dracula, a Silent Hill pastiche, some mass summoning frog [but of course it's only a sin when RE6 has somebody pull mass out of their ass my mistake], and a decepticon while piloting a metal gear Chris made somehow out of entirely non-metallic metal [by the way, the Soldat factory is hands down the most absurd ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing in the series, just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ gargantuan caverns and factories ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ out mecha zombies enmass out of nowhere because why? How? ♥♥♥♥♥♥ if I know.] before you fight a dark souls boss who turned out to have discovered that the Afterlife was secretly some giant mushroom she found and then your dumbass of a character kills himself because he literally just kinda *gives up* on living for zero reason at the end.

Also there were somehow werewolves made from mushrooms, somehow, but tbh that didn't matter and was a pretty forgettable part of the game since they really just were reskinned zombies.

Good point

Re6 is more like transformers or rush hour than resident evil. Generally boring and tiresome.
And I just finished the game so my reaction is still fresh. I do not envy anyone who will have to pick it up this poor attempt at plot to remaked it after RE5R.
IF it even happens. The best what i think they do is another remaster and move on to 9 or IX or whatever they will call next RE game.
