True or false: Resident Evil fans' standards are so abysmally low these days that if RE6 came out today, it would receive universal praise from them.
People were already mad at the bike chase sequence, imagine the reception with 5 vehicle sections that get worse in quality.
>>738186930>these daysHang yourself
Every Resident Evil game after it has the benefit of people going "At least it's not 6."
>>738187349>game is sold at 3 bucks during salesgee i wonder why it sold that much lmao
>>738187486https://www.capcom.co.jp/ir/english/news/html/e121004.html gaped and raped
>>7381869306 is currently being shilled as a "misunderstood hidden gem" by youtube essayists and revisionists
>>738186930RE6 Mercenaries is pretty fucking good tho if not the best.I'm not going to pretend the game is worth 60 dollars, but it's good if you want a challenging arcade shooter with deep combat mechanic.Get it on sale and just pretend campaign doesn't exist.
>>738187585>misunderstood hidden gemliterally every shit game after 10 years when fags get nostalgic for it
>>738187585That's the way of the world. Some bullshit you played when you were 12 hit just right then you get all misty eyed about it in your late 20s.
>>738187585no one is saying thatmost just think it played well which is fair. it plays like a mix of max payne and a SEGA TPS like BD.the story and characters and everything else was dog shit but the character controls were kinda solid for a generic TPS.
>>738188167it is a crime to call it a generic TPS, combo-based CQC mechanic was honestly genius.Problem with this game is that you could clear this game without using any of the mechanic at all.
>>738186930It was my first RE. It was a fun goofy coop game. Obviously shouldn't have been a numbered mainline game, but it's dumb fun.
>>738188686I meant generic as in not-REover the top CQC is like the opposite of what you want in a zombie survival horror game and that mistake embodies everything wrong with RE6 but I don't think I'd even go so far as to say "good game bad RE" it was all over the place
>>738186930The only praise i remember is that it ran good on pc but that's more of a testament on how common were shit pc ports back then.
>>738186930true. even the co-op alone would be enough to make it extremely popular, people really love their friendslop gamesi think RE6 is what you get when you try to make games "fun" by increasing the pace and having more combat options without really understanding anything about game design. there are some people who try to defend this game and it's all just posting webms of leon punching zombies. that's also the main audience of REmakes and 9i don't want to talk about media literacy or whatever because it's a meme but gaming is so popular now that most people playing games do not understand anything about game design and what makes games good and just go "haha fast paced action good" like a brainless consumer. these are the people trying to turn skyrim into dark souls and think shitty korean MMOs are good because they have fast combat with flashy animations
>>738191142It's also reductive to say Resident Evil 1 was slow paced therefore every game in the series must be slow paced. 6 has specific running melee to hit an enemy from farther away, attacks can stun an enemy leading to a highly damaging follow up, and there's a bunch of dodge and counter attack options so the player can get up close and not die if they're good at the game. There are reasonable complaints like a plane flying section, but the base game is well-designed, much moreso than most TPS games coming out around the same time. It's just not a game about walking through a mansion getting weed killer.
>>738193119it isn't about the fast paced gameplay at all, every RE game slowly ramped up the pacing anyway. 6 just has no fucking design philosophy. the core gameplay mechanics are fine but they don't fit the game. it feels like 10 different teams made parts of the game without knowing what the others were doing. the level designs, enemy placements, it's all a mess. there's a reason why this game was so mocked back then
