Jill Sandwich: The Resident Evil Thread

[quote=caucheka].8 metacritic user review with a 66 critic review.. damn re6 seems to be doing great.[/quote]

[quote=Searz]Oh my, rating bombing. I'm a little surprised they're doing it to RE6. At least CoD:MW2 and 3 deserved it.[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]and how does re6 not deserve it? its completely turned its back on what made the original resident evil games good. hell, it got a fucking 66 critic score. The issue, though, is with conflicted gameplay; more specifically, scarcity of ammo and an annoying inventory system. Resident Evil 6 doesn't blend horror and explosive action, it simply sits awkwardly between them, leaving you with facing too many enemies with too few bullets. - GamesRadar, 7/10 All the effort in the world won't make up for a lack of vision. This game is blind to imagination and focus. - Eurogamer, 6/10 Resident Evil 6′s main achievement is that it makes me worried about the future of the franchise. I was looking forward to Resident Evil 6, I'm not looking forward to Resident Evil 7. - IncGamers, 5/10 It's a fully-featured, sloppy, frequently frustrating attempt to do well by everyone. Everyone would do well to study its anatomy, to learn what happens to a series stuck somewhere between a new life and an old body. - joystiq, 5/10 How far can cinematics get you when the gameplay sandwiched between them is so poorly paced, so utterly misconceived, so reliant on stick wriggles and button tapping? There's a place for contextual prompts and cinematic storytelling in video games, but Resident Evil 6 is a mishmash of elements put together without any sense of care or direction. -Gamespot, 4.5/10 Resident Evil 6 is a Michael Bay movie. There's really no more polite a way to put it. Stuffed to the gills with bombastic action segments, car chases, and relentless chaos, Capcom has abandoned any pretense of the survival horror genre and embraced a world of skin-deep Hollywood audacity. Listlessly wallowing in the depthless waters of homogeneity, Resident Evil 6 is a coward of a game, afraid to make its own individual mark in the industry and cravenly subscribing itself to every overplayed trope in the book. - destructoid, 3/10[/quote]

[quote=Searz]Oh.. I didn't think it would be that bad :o[/quote]

[quote=throatslasher][quote=Inferiae] Absolutely loved that Slasher, all it needs now is a chaotic video and Yahtzee doing the voice-over and you've got pure gold Also completely agree that 3 whilst plot wise was a bit nuts, the Nemesis was incredible, where as in previous Resi's doors and stairs were sanctuary's he just flew through up stairs and bashed through walls, it's my scariest moment of all time in Resi 3 in a save room looking for ink for the typewriter listening to tha tranquil music when all off a sudden he came flying in Bricks were shat Also wtf happened to games allowing limited saves, the typewriter/ink combo was awesome! saving itself was a decision especially on hard modes when you got barely any ink [/quote] I agree with you 100%. Re3's plot was poor, but it was DEFINITELY THE MOST SUSPENSEFUL. after you conduct your business in the stars office in police station and you come down the stairs and he busts through the window, it made me piss my pants. RE3 took all the rules of RE1-2 and threw them out the window. Usually, you could just run past enemies and go to the next room, but there was almost no outrunning that fucker. RE3 was definitely one of the most fun re's. I really liked the gunpoweder system.[/quote]

[quote=Searz][url=http://residentevil.onlinewelten.com/downloads.php?id=91]Resident Evil 4 Hot Bitches mod.[/url] I find that hilarious ^_^ Edit: oh, and throatslasher, are you just gonna ignore what I said about Lone Survivor?...[/quote]

[quote=throatslasher]Didn't see what you said. I assume you called it bad, which it was. there were plenty of awful entries in the series. outbreak 1/2 gaiden wasn't it 'gun survivor'? i don't know. i'm tired and working. leave me alone.[/quote]

[quote=Searz]Eeeh? You need to read stuff more thoroughly if you're gonna respond to it >.> Check it out: http://store.steampowered.com/app/209830/ I think it might be just up your alley.[/quote]

[quote=throatslasher]Ok I bought RE6. Here are my thoughts on this exciting new direction the RE franchise is headed: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . THIS IS THE WORST FUCKING GAME I'VE EVER PLAYED IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. I LITERALLY CANNOT PLAY THIS GAME FOR MORE THAN 15 MINUTES AT A TIME BEFORE I HAVE TO PUT IT DOWN TO MAINTAIN MY SANITY. LITERALLY, EVERY ASPECT OF THIS GAME IS TRASH. THE WORST ASPECT OF THIS GAME IS THE GAMEPLAY. WHAT A LOAD OF SHIT. IT HAS THE WORST CONTROLS I'VE EVER SEEN. IT'S NOT FUN. THE PLOT IS A BUNCH OF RETARDED HORSESHIT. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK LITERALLY, THIS IS POSSIBLY THE WORST GAME I'VE PLAYED IN THE PAST 10 YEARS. MAYBE LONGER. THIS MIGHT IN FACT BE THE WORST GAME I'VE EVER PLAYED IN MY LIFE. YOU KNOW THIS GAME IS FUCKED WHEN THE WHOLE TIME I'M WISHING I WAS BACK PLAYING RE-FUCKING-5. THIS GAME IS A STEAMING PILE OF HORSE-SHIT, STAY FAR FAR AWAY FROM THIS GAME.[/quote]

[quote=Inferiae]I think Capcom have completely lost the plot, even down to the small things, the Knives in the old Resi's were really shit and using them was either a last resort or you were playing hard modes which gave you sod all ammo, because you know, the living dead isn't really too concerned about cutlery Nowadays when I'm in a bit of a pickle Leon whips out some kind of roundhouse kick followed by some form of zombie DDT, honestly by Resi 8 I'm half expecting TLC matches[/quote]
