Got RE6 on a lark I wasn't planning to when I picked up a new PS3. My old one borked and the cost of an AC3 bundle and 460GB more HD was a better deal than fixing it. I hadn't been following it too closely, but was getting the impression it was apparently crappy. So far only in Leons second Chapter and besides the save points vs checkpoints being a little annoying, I'm enjoying the game so far, much more than I expected to be. Playing it offline because my schedule makes needing pause fairly often a requirement.

ImpAtom posted:RE6 is pretty bad about explaining mechanics to you, while having mechanics that resemble those in other games. The end result is that trying to play it like Gears of War loving sucks despite it looking like it's trying to make you play it like Gears of War. I'll agree RE kind of just throws you into things and is like...what didn't you read the manual? Jimbot posted:It has its problems, but it got panned something fierce by reviewers because the game doesn't explain anything and the controls and combat have a lot of depth to them. They played it expecting Gears of War and were disappointed something fierce (Giantbomb) when, instead, it's a completely different beast. Yeah, there is a lot more depth than I expected far more than a Gears of War clone. Wamdoodle posted:I actually had fun with it in single and co-op. If you enjoy it then that's all that matters. If you can ever manage to play with a partner, it's even better That's always been my view on most things. Tremors posted:If you haven't seen it yet, here's the manual. http://www.capcom.com/manuals/re6/ Thanks! I used to love reading manuals back in the day...Civ2 comes to mind, but these days I rarely check since they've been msde sadly superfluous.

Just finished Leon's first chapter and this is turning out to be the trashy epic B Movie I always wanted to see. I definitely think reading this thread first and seeing a lot of the things that should have been explained better in the game has helped make the game more enjoyable for me from the start. I enjoyed the location diversity. Really was what you would expect in a full RE game vs just one chapter of one campaign. Besides the mentioned poor feature description, save vs checkpoint, and the annoying why can't I short the corpse before it gets up...I really don't have many other issues.

I was wondering regardless of critical reception, personally I loved it in a dumb action movie way re Chris and really enjoyed Jake and Leon, what was the commercial reception to RE6?

Wanderer posted:Yeah, plus Shinji Mikami gives exactly zero fucks about Western-style plot consistency. When Shadows of the Damned is the most coherent narrative on a designer's CV, you know something special's gone and happened. I still think its from watching all those Italian knockoffs that would actually get video releases in Japan, things like the catalog of Bruno Mattei's Robowar and Alien Terminators. Viewed through those influences, it's not so much not giving a gently caress as having a horrible (yet wonderfully trashy) base model to work on.

Neo Rasa posted:Yeah by the time zombie movies/etc. got popular enough to REALLY get distributed all over, the really crappy, incoherent Italian stuff like Burial Ground was making the rounds.* Yep, and it's not even the purely Zombie stuff alone, but the insane action and sci-fi movies too (and I suspect some of the earlier 70s work of Fulci and Bava). I'm pretty sure the FMV intro to RE1 being the coolest thing as a kid is part of the reason I love those movies so much. I mean at times Chris's scenario is just about calling for Reb Brown to start busting out with a face full of blow and screaming...it's part of the reason why I love RE6 so much. It's a gave that has a few things that needed to be fixed (saves and actually explaining how the game works), but the whole batshit crazy action quality (and of course the other scenarios being really nice counterbalances) of it all. Somewhat related I also think the BOW's actually make sense (from 5 on) when you think of being able to sell them for commerce (granted at the same time 5...which really did a nice job of taking all the entries of the series into the game, finally explained that Spencer just never gave a crap about being profitable).

Mogomra posted:I love how unintentionally zany everything is in RE6. I've said this a few times, but if you've ever watched both Italian horror films and Italian and Philippine action films (which more then often got imported to Japan) you can see the influences. I don't even mean the more common stuff like Fulci's well known works, but things like Bruno Mattei's Robo War and Shocking Dark aka Terminator II. Japan (and the Netherlands) was back in the VHS day always the source for bootleggers to get their master copies for Italian Horror, Action, and Philippine Action movies, and hell places like Indonesia (Lady Terminator) in widescreen and uncut (save for blurred pubes). I swear pretty much all of the Various RE staff throughout the years were the people buying these VHS tapes that Japanese companies were releasing. In short Resident Evil 6 is coked out craziness and I loved it, because its reminds of the all the trash cinema I enjoy dearly and it seems the staff did too.

Any get a kick out of the Terrasave ad in Episode 1? I found it pretty drat hilarious personally with the smiling employees and such. I hope the game keeps up the high batshit insanity standard RE 6 set (and perhaps I'm the only person who enjoyed it, bloated and with poor instructions as it was).

Speedball posted:"Because Terra doesn't have to end in -ist!" Yeah, that was pretty drat magical too. I have to give credit to who translated the script for either keeping it silly or making it silly. Then again aren't the RE games traditionally written with an English script or was that just the few first? I know RE1 was always rumored to have a Japanese dub that was never included even in Japan.

Mr. Fortitude posted:Revelations port is okay. Nothing brilliant but nothing terrible either. It wasn't great at launch but it got patched. RE 6 had a great port though and apparently fixed some of the problems the console version had which might explain why I liked it better than a lot of people did. Do you what got fixed? I seem to recall the PS3 version getting all the fixes eventually or at least the qte skip. FWIW I liked the game a lot too. However I mostly did Leon and Chris's campaign. I do love Chris's as it was coked out action movie crazy. I also played that before I ever did Leon's so maybe that's it too. For me I though the game had a ton of cool ideas and things...just perhaps a touch bloated and also not explaing mechanics.

Azran posted:Every campaign has its absolutely direst point(s): the stealth section and the snowbike escape in Jake's, Ada's "HEY IS THIS SHIP ONCE AGAIN AIN'T THIS FUN" and anything stealth related, Chris' Mario Kart Chase, Leon's whole Campus ordeal and rope climbing... I actually like Leon's campus ordeal...with the cavet that I liked it for atmosphere and the setting itself vs game play per se (but it does pick up quickly. One think I liked is that while the game still had its wacky secret facilities, the design of the city and it's layout...actually made sense. No disagreement on the stealth parts....bleh that's why I never really bother much with Jakes campaign after a certain point. RE6 has one of the most varied campaigns in gaming and hell at the very least of the series. It's almost like Capcom wanted to experiment and use feedback for where to move the series next. I loved the variety though.

Fil5000 posted:Leon's campaign consists entirely of him getting civilians murdered just by showing up. "Oh hi gunshop guys oops, sorry, you're dead. Never mind, off to this church, hi people hiding in the church, oops, sorry, that's a monster that breathes death, you're dead.  I was wondering if I was the only one who noticed it. Chris isn't much better (but other soldiers do survive...not his own often), but yeah Leon is a hilarious bad luck magnet. It was one of the downsides I had with the campaign, since there isn't anything ostensibly preventing a potential rescue or at the least it's not Umbrella killing everyone this time.

Caidin posted:Well, to be somewhat fair, vice president evil was gonna nuke the whole area to make sure his hilarious assassination plot/kooky tomb lab stayed covered up, so it's not like anyone was getting rescued. Fair point. Until you mentioned VP Evil, or was it the head of the NSC, I had thought that unlike say RE3 there wasn't an active go kill survivors mindset in place. I also figured some people made it out anyway just like the end of (dear god I'm actually using it) AVPR. Anonymous Robot posted:What part of medieval catacombs beneath Chicago makes sense? Hence why I said wacky facilities. But it does fit with whole ancient and mysterious illuminati/Patriots group running things....it's still silly, but it kind of works in the games logic. Either way I meant the parts before the cathedral. Geight posted:I think RE6's plot is pretty good (silly, but good) except for the introduction of ~*The Family*~ as an antagonistic element that is barely elaborated on or explored outside of the files you get for shooting medals. It's less ambiguity between Neo Umbrella and The Family and more nobody ever thinks to discuss who the hell they're fighting and why. That's kind of my take on it. I just loved the scope and how over the top fun it was...but The Family is just dumped in there. Like I said I do appreciate the variety and depth of the script and locations like an airplane (which I know isn't new per se) or a city under a gas attack. It's a mess at times, but more a wonderful mess, then pile of poo poo. That said Neo Umbrella had an aircraft carrier...how do you build and afford that...but I'm willing to Bond villain that plot hole. Better a guy with an aircraft carrier then a rubber dingy.

Guillermus posted:I'm glad to see some love for RE6. It had awesome controls, melee and the plot was so silly it was fun. I don't even think they tried seriously with it and I love it. It's that or they tried so hard it just wound up being silly. Personally I think that if Capcom had done a better job explaing mechanics and controls, the game, while not without its faults, would be held in far higher esteem. I still think it's nuts just how long the game is (in the age of short sp games) and varied in location and play.

This is very very true.

I think it was the combat being more real time or something different with it vs 1 (I think it may have also being the lack of random battles). I haven't played it for a few years though so I can't remember for the life of me. I always remember being struck at how odd it was that there was no VA work.

For some reason I just bought RE6 for the pc and have spent too much time trying to mod in ps3 button controls...which only sometimes work (still getting 360 control images for some). I love using the ds4, but how is the game with k/m? Guess I could just use a DS3 instead....but man I like DS4 more. Also god bless the coked out plot to this game.

I never played RE7 so perhaps this is something well known, but man this engine is nice in terms of scaling. My processor is below the minimum and the auto presets it uses are great because it runs fine and the game looks fantastic still. The game itself is really, really well polished in terms of control. Republicans posted:Found a shotgun before my time ran out but I never found a licker to use it on. Needed either more zombies or less ammo because I was able to dome every one I came across and still had over 40 bullets left. Interesting, I nailed a bunch dead in the head and they did not stay/go down. Perhaps it's just a sweet spot you have to hit that I don't know about.

Yes, I know Gothic horror and all, but I like a more "realistic",I know that's not the proper term, station. You know just more filled it with less mansion things. And yes I am greatly amused that they added bathrooms, I remember the old Story Guide on gamefaqs used to even have a question dedicated to that

Like I said I liked how realistic it felt now, even though it wasn’t the right term. I think logical is a far more fitting term. It makes sense in the fictional world the story is establishing.
