there is no way RE6 is more linear than 5. it at least has some open levels and backtracking. RE5 was just move forward through every zone basically. more bloated absolutely, re5 has no bloat, on account of it all being a direct cleave forward always

UltraShame posted:Just finished REV:2 and now I realize that Leon, Barry, and Moira are the chief heroes of the series. Bad writing my rear end, a Dramaturgical Triad if you will. BAsed on what you've written, I'd buy RE3 remake and play that. It'll tide you over until VIII comes out. RE6 and RE0 are both pretty bad for entirely different reasons.

I highly recommend Remake 3 too, lots of fun, not overly long, and fantastic looking and sounding, with a great cast. Also and I know I’m the odd man out, but I had being stalked for a long time by an enemy, so I was actually really happy with how Nemesis worked out. RE6 is at least a coked out romp, although the train in RE0 is cool as hell.

RE6s problem isn't that its too stupid, it's that it bins almost every aspect that makes RE RE, Except the action. And the quality of the action is all over the place. It has it's moments but overall just feels stretched really thin.

This got posted after my recent 6 playthrough and it's like, yeah, maybe that's not the core path for the franchise, but it's a pretty goddamn fun path to go down. I sorta wish they had split off to examine both RE Prime and RE Wrestlemania gameplay and presentation.

Leave posted:My biggest problem with Zero is actually Rebecca's story in it. It didn't tie into the first game at all, and ultimately, has no importance to, well, anything. Don't get me wrong, it's nice that she got a game and some story of her own, but they ultimately didn't do poo poo with it. I don't anything of RE0 tied in with anything. Billy's a complete nonentity that I don't even think has been referenced outside of 0 and those rail shooters that included levels from 0.

Jake's definitely the goofiest fun, having an unarmed option, although Leon turns out to be great too (even if placing him as the default starter campaign was a mistake). The others a lot of fun moments too though.

One thing I didn't like in RE6 was how (spoilered for the goon planning to play it) how cynical and meanspirited it got. Leon goes through several areas with civilians in it and he either makes the situation worse for them or fails to save anyone. As for Chris, they tried to update his character...by dialing his BUT MY PARTNER trait up to 11 as well making him a belligerent rear end in a top hat. They wanted him to be torn up by all the people he lost, but throughout the campaign you keep losing people in Chris's team for arbitrary reasons and culminates with Piers dying anyway. And while the RE3 epilogue stated that Sherry was taken by the government, RE6 saying that Sherry spent most of her life as a lab rat just didn't sit right with me.

Favorite thing about Leon is that any vehicle he's been in cannot catch a loving break. I think the jetski in 4 is the only thing to avoid the Kennedy Curse.

RE6 is the funniest game ever made. No other piece of interactive entertainment comes close for the completely absurd amount of laughs per minute. Me and a buddy worked our way through all the campaigns over the course of a week and by the end we were in uttery exhausted hysterics. If it's not the stupid cutscenes, it's the over the top QTEs, or the silly animations, just curveball after curveball. A travesty of a game and I'm so glad it exists. But yeah it's dogshit.

I only first played the Resident Evil series in 2019, after RE2Remake taught me how to love horror games. I went through all the numbered entries (more or less sequentially) and the sheer nosedive in quality from 4 ---> 5 ----> 6 was truly astonishing. 4 was a weird and unwelcome departure but was at least very good at what it wanted to do, and its charm did eventually win me over. And of course its influence on TPS and other action games that would come later was apparent. 5 was at least tolerable but very clear that it was made by people who wanted to ape 4 but were just not as talented. 6 was just a loving mess and a near unbearable slog. And then compounded insult to injury by being around twice the length of every other RE game. I envy those who played it co-op, at least you had someone to laugh at it with. I will say this for 6 though - it made that first hour of 7 even more amazing because it was like getting to breathe fresh air again. Hell I actually played 0 at the same time as 6 and it made ZERO look pretty good in contrast.

I cant imagine using automatic weapons in these games unless they put in an AK or if I got the gatling gun. Theres nothing like that POW impact, the plain old shotgun was my fave back in original RE2. Especially with the shoot the screen trick.

Full auto is good in RE but much like everything else the ammo is limited in the good RE games. You aren't running around with 300 backup rounds so it's functionally pretty similar to whatever pistol or shotgun you are using.

I remember liking re5 when I originally played it but I HATE co-op play in almost any game and especially hate it with an AI partner. I tried it again recently and didn't get real far. My partner's repetition of the same words and sayings over and over again along with managing inventory was really loving annoying. I think I would have enjoyed the game quite a bit if they had just included a single player mode separate from the 2 player one. The AI partner in the Revelations games and Sherry in RE4 were fine.

One reason I prefer RE6 over 5 is precisely because you don’t have to manage the AI partner’s inventory.

lurker2006 posted:curious what you thought of the remake of 3 if you played it. I quite liked it, actually. I missed the sections that were removed but also made the characters likeable so it had that going for it. Nemesis was a disappointment because I was sure Mr. X was just a dry-run for their Nemesis tech/pathfinding. It's also the only one I have replayed (outside of 2 and 2RE's A/B routes) Pablo Nergigante posted:One reason I prefer RE6 over 5 is precisely because you don’t have to manage the AI partner’s inventory.

Surprisingly I didn't really run into an AI issues. I only played on Normal however so maybe it becomes a problem higher up? Or just patches later smoothed out the issues. And I liked/hated in 6 that the AI partner didn't really need any sort of babysitting or micro from me. Hated it in the fact that I was never alone... in a horror game...

The AR from RE3make was very satisfying to use. I wish Jill had it as a regular unlock rather than Infinite ammo one.

I hope future RE games do infinite unlocks like RE7 did, where you can use the fully modified versions of weapons with an infinite ammo item in your inventory. RE3Make is the worst because both the infinite pistol and assault rifle are garbage compared to the regular versions.

even without infinite ammo you can basically just get rid of your handgun after the police station garage and exclusively carry the shotgun for the rest of the game
