Resident Evil 6


I will never for the life of me understand why this game gets so much hate online. I played it for the first time a few years ago and expected it to be nearly unplayably bad. Instead I found it to be a really fun, albeit flawed. I especially enjoyed Leon and Ashley's campaign. I think my least favorite was Sherry and Jake's campaign. I also didn't like a lot of the retreading of the same area across campaigns. But despite this, I found it incredibly entertaining and fun in its own way.


RE0, RE5, and a good chunk of the spinoffs are certainly worthy of way more hate than RE6. The fact that people were acting like the Outbreak games were some sort of hidden gems once people learned about Grace Ashcroft's mom's connection to those was laughable. RE6 was also well received by most gaming sites back when it came out too, which leads me to believe the hate is 90% an internet bandwagon thing, which I'm sure will reverse in the next decade once the "RE6 was actually a masterpiece tho!" vids start appearing on YouTube with reaction faces and red arrows in the thumbnails.

I think the game sucks, but nothing about it makes it a "worst game ever" for sure lol Everything about it is all functional and fine as a game, it's a decent game for what it is if you want a co-op action shooter, to me it was just the culmination of everything wrong with RE at that point in time.

I feel like compartmentalizing the franchise helps me enjoy it more. Separating classic RE (0, 1, 2, 3, CV), from action era RE (4, 5, 6), from first person Ethan Winters era (7 and 8), and the whatever the hell RE9 is really allows me to appreciate the games for what they are. Still, there are certainly better games than others across the franchise.

I do generally view RE in that way, as someone who doesn't really like the old games because of the controls, loved RE4, was very mixed on the series afterward, and then have basically loved the games from RE7 on for the most part.  That doesn't really help 5 and 6, because RE4 was so great, RE5 was a step down, not just because of the forced co-op, and then RE6 was just nothing good to me whatsoever, because it is so co-op focused.  Like at least I get abit of the RE4 vibe with RE5, there's none of that in RE6.

I have thought of replaying RE5, maybe soon, I see it's 5 bucks on Steam, so who knows, I might be a smidge more lenient on it these days, even if I'll never like the co-op aspect, but RE6 is just forever a big nope for me as it doesn't do what I want as an RE game, and I don't want to play it as an action shooter, because it's almost entirely built around being a co-op shooter.
