[@jaxafrass7777]

Something about piers that I concluded that made me like him more, is that notice how he resembles Chris in RE1. And how he’s super honorable and has that Boy Scout kind of out look. I always thought that piers was supposed to be a reflection of Chris, showing chris what he used to be. Because chris in re6 is pretty troubled and angry. Blinded by a lot of baggage. And piers shows up to snap him out of it. It’s like a younger more hopeful version of chris trying to rekindle that hope and drive in chris.

[@tlacuachemistico7411]

pair this with the game note that mentioned that chris wanted to retire and have piers replace him... yeah 10 years later I still havent healed from his death.

[@hagi342]

Maybe it's like AC origins and odyssey, just don't consider those game as an AC franchise, you'll get a nice open world game about egypt and greek mythology. Same with RE6, don't compare it too much with the predecessor (even though it's a mainline series), and you'll get a decent action game with some horror elements :D

[@vegitoblue4390]

yeah, just playing it's a lot of fun

[@ayyyyoman]

Same here. Went a few years not bothering with it due to the general consensus. Then I finally gave it a go and had a blast with it. Had massive flaws and went so far towards action that it barely had any survival horror elements but it was still a good time.

[@louisvictor3473]

People honestly were too hard on RE6 and for their own fault. R4 was great, vut it was clearly something else than 1 to 3, far more action. Then 5 comes, even more action driven, and people eat that too... what direction did idiots think 6 would go with that feedback? I came to 6 expecting a Michael Bay directed video game, and guess what? I got exactly what I asked for, and even got a little nostalgic RE1 2 3 zombie survival taste as a treat. Sure, not the direction I wanted, but that ship had sailed since RE4 already. Anyone who came to RE6 expecting anything other than an escalation of 5 and got disappointed their baseless expectations weren't satisfied, they are just telling on themselves really.

[@KWHere2]

Nobody understood the nuances because the game doesn't fucking show them to you. You look at anyone praising this game they'll say the same thing: the combat and movement tech is deep as fuck and the game around it sucks ass. Pardon moi french.

Several months ago, after I beat all mainline RE titles. I showed my sister the co-op RE games, we beat revelations 2 together then beat we RE 5, she was real excited to get into RE 6.

He and Helena actually had good development as a team. Chris and Piers was just none stop whining with a forced resolution and while not as bad,I didn’t like how Sherry’s main purpose was “emotional support” for a character we’d never known about until now. Wish it had been her campaign instead.

[@AnimePlaysMinecraft]

I really liked Leons, Jakes was fun as hell because I love Melee and it had some really dumb stuff and the end of Chris' was fun. I did like this game kind of because it's so stupid? It was really fun to play and kept me entertained but doesn't mean I can't tell the whole story is kind of dumb.

I think out of all the characters in RE6 that I play I like playing piers the most just because his unique sniper that he carried was kinda bad ass tbh. Though Chris and his campaign was one of the worst. I honestly don’t like the idea of bio weapon having guns and the chopper fight was quite annoying/tedious.

Here me out, it may have differed from the RE formula like... completely, but it was hella fun. If they decide to remake it, I can see them refining what's there to make true RE fans and fans of RE6 happy since there's plenty there to work with to make both happy.

[@lindblumpickles3407]

Agree 100% with this review. Love the basic gameplay, it’s just a shame the campaigns are such slogs with all of the QTEs and such.

[@BrotherBumps]

TBH Resident Evil 6 is dope for what it was and it was a fun blast but the only thing I absolutely hated was when you were running away from the Ustanak in the caves and opening those Vault Doors was hell on earth on the harder difficulties

[@Danycrumble]

If you played this with a fun friend, you gotta love the game. Me and my buddy spent half the game rolling on the floor in game AND irl from laughter. It was such a good time.

[@thekingfish6765]

For me, it felt like the Avengers in terms of all the heroes or protagonists from different Resident Evil Games come together to fight a Global Bio-Terror Threat (Read: Avenger-Level Threat). While it wasn't the best, I do like the concept of various heroes in the same game since we hardly see Leon meeting Chris, plus I liked seeing Sherry as an adult, as well as the new characters. And well it was one of my favorites that I like to replay. I feel like Capcom could continue the idea of all the protagonists/heroes in one game. Although my disappointment though is the exclusion of Jill and Claire.

[@agt_pendergast8899]

This is probably my favorite review of the game I've seen so far. Every other review that I've come across seems to either dunk on it without any consideration to its positives, say it's awesome and ignore its shortcoming, or say its the dumb fun and gloss over the combat. You did a really good job of pointing out it's strengths and weaknesses. On another note, I feel like I'm the only one who probably liked Leon's campaign the least. I dunno, I feel like the zombie enemies are the least fun to fight, especially with how 'grabby' they get. Stops the flow of combat dead in it's tracks, imo. And strangely, the zombies with guns seem to be more accurate than the elite j'avo. I also wish they had a Mercenaries Reunion type expansion like 5. Have Piers with his mutated arm, Simmons transforming into monster forms for his stun attacks, and Deborah with her claw face. Maybe even throw in Jill and Claire. One last thing, I really wish Ada had a proper final boss fight instead of a redo of Simmons. Imagine reaching the coccoon, but it's already opened and you have to fight a new Carla clone. A human-esque enemy to fight along the lines of Krauser in 4 or Jill & Wesker in 5, but with a combat system that could achieve in game what was done in cutscene.

[@mojoofj0j024]

Damn I 1000% agree. I'll always prefer zombies in my RE to Las Plagas variants but they were not at all fun to fight in his campaign. Nonstop grabs and boring encounter design. Plus I found Helena insufferable almost the entire time. I was surprised when Jake and Sherrys was my favorite. Most varied and surprisingly good character dynamics.

[@agt_pendergast8899]

@@mojoofj0j024 I don't hate Helena as much as everyone else does (maybe cause I find her pretty fun to play as in Mercs) but I do admit the whole leading on Leon thing gets a bit old. I also do feel like her story was leading to her being arrested, and Capcom chickened out and wanted a 'happier' ending. Jake & Sherry are pretty awesome, I gotta agree with that.

Fantastic mechanics we will never see again. They’d fit perfectly into a Dead Rising style campaign. I’d play the hell out of a Dead Rising crossover with RE heroes Also, my favorite Roger Craig Smith performance. He had no obligation to elevate Chris to the level that he did. He’ll always be the definitive Chris for me

[@PsychoRavager]

This combat system along with the polish of Max Payne 3 would make the best John Wick type of combat system. Multiple takedown methods, freedom to shoot in any position/posture, etc. Maybe even add a bit of the systems from Splinter Cell: Conviction and Blacklist.

[@sifunmon]

Great idea

[@mopbrothers]

I've never played RE6, but it looks like a unique game all of its own. Like there's fixed camera angle games, 3rd person, fps, and then there's RE6 style. It's its own thing.

It's 3rd person.

[@franknb7827]

Re 4 had looping level designs which complemented the stop and shoot combat. Re 6 had a great combat flow with awful, claustrophobic, linear level designs.

[@SkyYukiGuy]

You can try run and gun in VR with RE4 too. It does make game feel too easy

[@eeyuup]

The combat only clicked for me in Mercenaries mode. Campaign always feel like you have no space to run, and melee enemies, which is a huge part of the game's combat. Mercenaries on the other hand was amazing.

[@ShawnReyes-i4n]

Can people stop comparing Re6 and re4.

[@vvizard4994]

My dream Capcom game is a reboot of Dino Crisis, but using RE6 excellent combat mechanics, Dino Crisis was always like "Resident Evil but more action and with dinosaurs", so such a gameplay would work wonders for that, specially now that the RE series went back to its Survival Horror roots. You can't tell me a game where you can roundhouse kick velociraptors wouldn't be the best game ever made

Agree on the combat depths. By the way did you know that you can Dual Wield with Leon Pistol? Do Wesker charge with Jake? I don't remember how I know how to do it but the combat in this game still stuck with me today. The mercenaries really is fun.

[@KNIGHTMARE__]

I absolutely hate how they hid Jake’s entire backstory in files. His backstory is actually pretty tragic and perfectly explains why he was such a greedy asshole but they never mention anything about it in his campaign and unfortunately most players are not going to go out of their way to unlock and read files especially when they already don’t like this character and their game. It makes me sad because I think Jake is a really great character but they really did him dirty in that regard and I can see why so many people hated him. Jake deserves better.

[@Ava6581]

It’s a shame that such good gameplay is buried under terrible QTE, inventory/healing systems, pacing, level design, etc. Because of how good the combat is I ended up playing a lot of RE6’s mercenaries mode.

I’d be more accepting of Jake if he was a test-tube clone created by Wesker.

[@knightsolaire3781]

Spoilers: I kind of found the dynamic between Leon and Helena to be what killed it for me during their campaign. Every time Ada showed up, Leon's attention (understandably) seemed to focus on her over Helena. As I was playing as Helena and my friend Leon, I started to feel like my character didn't matter, even in the section where they fight her sister (Ada shows up at some point there too). Hilariously enough, I was remarking about it to my friend and we were chuckling over it until the fight with Simmons where we really started cracking up. The part in their story where Helena has to support Ada and Leon as they are fighting back to back on top of a building was the strawberry on top of the double layer cake. At that point you had a literal chasm between her and Leon to reinforce the metaphorical one and I was laughing so bad I started to cry. Edit: I still loved playing this game Coop

[@ShawnReyes-i4n]

What? Wdym helena ain't feel important? Helena Is one of the most important characters of Leon's story? And you didnt list reason as to why she felt unimportant. You only said things about ada showing up

[@jiggycalzone8585]

​@@ShawnReyes-i4n but they did give examples and a big chunk of the reasoning was the narrative shift when Ada showed up specifically. Even wrapped it with recognition of a visual metaphor. How are you so convinced she's a core part of Leon's story? Change Helena to Adas partner "Agent", I ask you what would really change in Leon's campaign?

[@caffeineclown4884]

I do think though that regarding the games bloat Simmons is the single worst offender of this by a wide margin. The rocket launcher at the end was a nice touch but that whole giant fly segment felt so tacked on when the fight with him literally moments prior that ended with his impalement felt more like a “final boss” than the actual final boss.

It slips up along the way of course (sometimes feels like it could've used more time to develop) but still, I think people hate on it too much, its no where near a bad game. However, I do think Capcom made the right choice with RE 7. Hopefully they won't forget Resident Evil 6 exists.

Eh, I'd say it's an okay game. "Good" is a really hard stretch unless we just greatly differ on how we rank games. RE6 feels like it doesn't stand out from the pack of generic action shooters at all.

I remember learning the combat system mostly by myself. A friend and I went in together with no knowledge, and I had only played 5 before it so I hardly knew how melee attacks worked. Now though, after several playthroughs of every campaign, I’ve mastered it for the most part. Landing headshot after headshot while tossing enemies aside and snapping necks is a glorious feeling. Every character feels great and plays differently with their unique weapons. I will say however, I was running low on healing for much of my professional runs.

As much as i like the idea of either jill or sheva (or both) being the ones tracking chris down after his amnesia, i don't think it makes much sense for jill to. Not without a reason though, 'cause it was implied that she's a bit out of the loop after 2009 due to her being in n out of testing ( cause of her antibodies) and ongoing rehab.

You can do so much more in Resident Evil 6 than Vanquish. It's full of buffer, cancel, options, there are hundreds of different moves... It's not as free form as DMC4 but it's a clear step up compared to Vanquish. I'm not saying it's good, as RE6 loses a lot of the good things that come with a more rigid combat system, but it's definitely more generous.

You can break doors without a key(takes one hell of time, but works) or shoot the door like what Barry did in the RE1 remake to save Jill. You have ground attacks predating RE5 and RE6's Stomp. Characters have their own unique moves and specialties some are not fighters others are tanky and Ryman is the fastest person in the party.

This game was the expendables of the franchise, it was a masterpiece! It was a final outing before crapcom inevitably moved onto something different. Loved everything about this game! Loved the older games to but this game is my 2nd favorite in the franchise.

[@Mr-tr1wc]

I know the RE6 logo is a left hand in the shape of a six but after seeing that drawing someone did when it was first announced of a Giraffe getting a blowjob I still cannot unsee it not even after 10 years.... The game on the other hand I played it co-op with a friend and it was enjoyable for that but I've since never revisited it, it is my second least favourite RE title that I've played with RE Revelations as first with RE Village in third place.

[@rich_calibur9957]

Yeah i agree

[@Joelpd666]

I never even gave this game a shot back in the day. Not that I’m an RE Purist I enjoy the originals for what they bring and 4/5/7/V for the different focus they aspire to. Something about this game when it launched just seemed dated even back then. After 5 I was just done with the TPS gameplay

[@chrisbfreelance]

Whilst the FPS move has worked, there is no reason they couldn't have gone back to the series roots with a TPS game with more horror focus, we saw it with the remakes,but they cut so much out.

[@Sadturnip]

The only thing I knew about this game for years was the 6 on the cover looked like a giraffe making a man do something unfortunate.

[@themur880]

I wish I could go back in time and experience an active online community all over again, as that's what really made RE6 shine was the intersection of the different plot threads occasionally and made retreading stages from a different perspective feel more fresh when you know there's another person with you during the fun.

[@monkeybone1080]

I agree with RE6 being in a weird place. I really enjoy it yet at the same time it has parts that I just don't want to revisit. Saying that I voted for Jake and Sherry as they worked so well together and since the second REvelations title I've wanted an REv3 with them. Also touching on the combat mechanics I think they would really work with a Devil May Cry spin-off playing as Lady.

[@shieldofwind7241]

As a hardcore RE fan who has played every mainline game and is still looking into the rest of its history and spinoffs, I don't care what people think of RE6. Its one of the funnest games I've played in a long time and I love the hell out of it, 300+ hours and growing. It's got flaws like QTEs and a confusing story, but I think it makes up for it in spades with the best gameplay in the series and being one of the funnest co-op experiences I've had ever, second only to RE5. And hell, not many will agree but I loved the story and characters too. I thought it was a great wrap up for Leon and Ada with Helena being a badass bitch with a good story motivation, Chris goes through yet another arc but a good one and Piers is such a slept on character in the series because he's super great too, and Jake and Sherry maaan. Why do no one talk about them, their arc and relationship is amazing. All of them are great in this game. Along with having the best OST in thw series, seriously the RE6 OST slaps and is so slept on. And the FINAL BOSSES omg, so fucking grand and epic. And Mercenaries is at its absolute best, man. As someone who loves the mode to death, I can't get enough of 6's. It is the one I play exclusively on No Mercy because the gameplay and balancing is absolutely perfect, I wish for a full fledged all star cast stand alone game of Merc Mode in the style of 6, or even 5. I love it so much. The thing with me is the more I started looking at this game and it's story as a season finale to EVERYTHING that's happened in the lore up to that point before it soft rebooted with 7 and 8, I started to enjoy the game even more than I already was. And I urge anyone who goes into it to do the same, it really works as a grand finale on everything up to that point. The only real problem I have with RE6 is that the chapters are too long. Bare minimum, even if you know them like the back of you hand like I do, the quickest minimum time you can get with each chapter will always usually be at least an hour. That's not great, especially for soft completionists like me. But other than that, I really have no real complaint over the game. It's so so fun. A mess, but fun. And at the end of a day, if you can have fun with a game and have a good laugh while doing it, doesn't that mean ot did it's job? I love RE6. It's not my favorite RE, that goes to 5, 8 or RE2make. But goddamn I love it so much. It so fun, it's so batshit insane, its so perfectly imperfect. It's great and got way too much hate. I firmly believe it needs a reevaluation from the RE fandom as a whole. Especially now that the series is "back on track" so to speak with 7 and 8 and that 6 didn't "ruin the franchise".

[@Road_to_Dawn]

100% agreed on all accounts! MAN I love this game. I've spent so much time with it over the years and constantly get the urge to go back to it again and again. The only one in the series I've played more was RE5.

[@hailakmal4683]

2024 and I still played this game its so much fun

[@IVEGOTPEEINMYEYE]

Yep, once you see the giraffe you cant unsee it.

[@ranzudezuLRTC]

Is it bad that I didn't see "that" not until I watched YT reviews and memes for RE6? 😅😂

[@A_YouTube_Commenter]

Did anyone else think Helena was hot af? Skip the Jill sandwich I want the Helena tuna melt!

[@Delaecress]

Definitely, she's modeled after Natasha Alam.

[@JLH111176]

for me best part of this game at launch was when the stories merged and other humans were playing the other characters, if you play it now don't see that happening doubt any people still playing this

[@mtb5431]

Jill would’ve been a far better choice for a PTSD storyline then Chris. They actually had material to build on. Just don’t do the laughable drunken amnesiac storyline.

[@pigglewiggle175]

I think the logo is like a rorschach test for you and gives us a visibility of your mind, desires, and frustrations.

[@GuiltyKit]

I just could not get over how little the game seemed to care about the enemies. They just felt splashed around the areas, without a lot of thought about placement. None of them felt dangerous, and yet conversely I took more "cheap hits" in RE6 than any other RE. Zombies spawning offscreen and doing a flying tackle without any forewarning was a regular hazard during Leon's campaign. I tried to replay it recently and had to quit halfway through Leon's campaign, and that sucked because I remembered his being the best. It just wasn't fun. Also the guns just did not feel like they had any punch. Even the shotguns felt boring to use, and that's the worst feeling. The post-RE4 combat engine is fine. It's great. But it just is not suited for a "fight ten zombies at once" oriented game. I can't really put my finger on it but it just Feels Bad to play, especially coming off a marathon of RE games.

[@gogetathestrongestfusion]

Fun fact everyone loves the combat but a lot of people don’t know how to use it specially jakes and Jake does have a way to take down the chopper in chapter three by a quick time event of climbing on the robe and shooting the pilot with a desert eagle

[@Nick-mv5kg]

A weird part of Amnesia Chris in 6 is that at then end of RE Rev 2, Claire is unbeknownst to Amnesia Chris and just phones someone and is like “ohhh make sure Piers looks after him”. I kinda wish Claire was in 6, rather than Helena or Piers

[@Lauraraksin77]

Well.. Thanks for mentioning the giraffe, I can never un-see it now.

[@gabrieldevoogel6225]

I absolutely love this video, you really did a number on this game In both the best and worst ways I’ve seen, not to be rude, I mean that you give bare bones criticisms, but you explain In the best way possible to go into the issues you have

[@Road_to_Dawn]

I love this game so much lol. It's very flawed, but man, it's just so much fun with friends. I've played it countless times over the years, and the only game in the series I've played more was RE5, again, with friends. My favorite campaign is without a doubt Jake & Sherry's, because Sherry being all-around amazing and Troy Baker's smooth voice and great delivery all make it just so much fun. That said, I love all the campaigns to a point and for different reasons. A big point in this game's favor for me is the intersecting stories; I love it when games do this, like in Odin Sphere, 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, and Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep. It's just so fun seeing things from different characters' perspectives. Another thing this game does well are the moments in each campaign where you're separated from your partner and doing different things, like when Jake and Sherry get captured, or in Chris and Piers's campaign where one player is in the plane and the other is doing a bombing run on foot. It further serves to up the replay value so you can experience what your partner did last time around. Like many have said before, it's not really a great Resident Evil game, but man is it a fun co-op shooter. In addendum: The first skill purchase you should always get is Breakout. Makes the button-mash moments SO much less tedious!

I've been trying to get that stupid image of the logo out of my head for years. Thanks for bringing it up.

[@boricuafeliz]

I despise this game. When I had heard from friends that it wasn’t very good, I didn’t quite believe them but after I bought a copy and played it, it was far worse than what had been described to me. I didn’t even get through the only campaign I started which was the Jake and Sherry campaign. This was an integrally flawed game that was pumped out fundamentally broken. My major gripes are: 1. Absolutely needed a dedicated tutorial section to be able to introduce players to a novel in-depth combat system. 2. Atrocious gunplay. The guns don’t “feel” right and it “feels” like your shooting enemies with a nerf gun or laser pointer. If they wanted to attract the Call of Duty fanbase, the dev team should have incorporated crisp grounded gunplay. There was nothing wrong with the gunplay of RE4 and RE5 so why they screwed the pooch on this one is a mystery. 3. Frustrating character movement. A frenetic change from the grounded movement of RE4 and 5. 4. Too many video game mechanics (driving, stealth, turrets, etc), many of which are exceedingly poorly executed. 5. Frustrating inventory system. There was nothing broken with the RE5 inventory system. 6. Annoying QTEs. 7. Dropped features from RE5 like being able to replay specific chapters as many times as one wants. I have never played a game like this before where the majority of the experience was tedious and grating with the entire sum of the experience being as pleasant as getting teeth pulled. It was sufficiently frustrating that it destroyed any interest I had in playing the game. This game deserves a remake because (despite its narrative weaknesses and other failings) it could have been amazing had the "feel” of the movement and the gunplay been perfect.

[@night1952]

Yeah, i really don't understand people praising the combat, the aiming and shooting feels awful, mixed with the awful movement and wobbly camera i couldn't stand playing. RE5 is a masterpiece next to this, everything RE4 did right plus free movement instead of tank controls with enemy design tweaked to compensate. Not even the melee system saves it, i like the previous one better, in this one prompts failed to hit the target constantly.

[@Leonkennedy19992]

I played this game with the mindset that is not a Re game but a Re movie. And that made me enjoy the game more.

[@wjrg7180]

To each their own - this game is shockingly garbage imo but I’m happy for anyone who enjoyed their play through

[@EdmundLoh]

This game is already 10 years old! I remember playing it for the first time as if it wasn't that long ago.

[@lasagnem1526]

honestly forgot this game existed

[@zionleach3001]

I don't get how people hated this with a passion. But now will accept anything with the name slapped on it. The half baked RE3 game, Death island has them do the same stuff, and now people want a remake of a remake. Yes the story could use some improvement, and the high-tech phones were a little weird.

[@analothor]

26:14 the jiggle physics in this game were god tier overall great game, kinda wish we saw more of jake and sherry

[@5FingerBallad]

I want a Resident Evil spinoff that focuses specifically on Jake and Sherry again. I miss their dynamic, and I wish we knew what happened to them after Umbrella 2.0 (aka Umbrella Blue) was formed for the Ethan Winters (RE7 & RE8: Village) games.

[@cassetticons4651]

THE ULTIMATE HORROR EXPERIENCE

[@Inuzumi]

Jake's campain is the best for me. Loved both characters. And something I haven't heard that many people say but the variety of enemies is so fucking large. Leaving the Javos aside(which can turn in so many sort of creatures) the creatures the C virus create are really well designed and all that. They truly tried to appeal to every kind of player.

[@jojowilliams8965]

Definitely a good time with friends but the extra action buttons were killing me

Right off the bat, Revelation 2 has easily more remarks of a horror story, with even more refined excellent combat ( aside that forced co-op when plaing single player) So, yeah, play that one!

[@schemar17]

It drags on for me in episode 4 and 5

[@psychon2083]

rev2 was really great in the first half but definitely started to drag a bit in the second...that being said, i like it way more then 5 and 6 specially cause i really liked the story and the raid mode which is quite fun.

Reminds me of the film VAN HELSING. Just non stop schlock. I like schlock, but you gotta catch a breath at some points

[@itsalolmor]

This was the only game (from the main series + Revelations) that I simply couldn't finish between 2020 and 2021, before Village came out. I don't know, movement felt awkward, the combat system was all over the place, and of course, the story is a mess. But I understand your points and maybe I should try to mess around with combat a bit more next time I try it.

[@lutherheggs451]

The story definitely isn't a mess.....What made it seem like a mess was the intersecting parts of each story that forced you to play certain parts of the story several times....Its pretty basic, straight forward and the next logical step after Umbrella was shut down....

[@itsalolmor]

@@lutherheggs451 a mess in terms of its premise and yeah, how it's presented
