8:08 that is not true. Depending on how much life you are missing is the number of consecutive times you have to press the button, if you are missing three, press the button three consecutive times to heal all 3 squares, if you press it once it will only heal you one. Would be better in just one go, but is okay because sometimes I just dont want to fully heal myself.

[@TJ-js7uf]

If you hold the button down instead it fully heals you if you have enough tablets

[@Bawkr]

The intention is to allow you to store more health and heal only the amount you need to, I like it it's the proper amount of complexity that the series deserved at this point in regards to inventory and healing.

[@CyanRooper]

"Sometimes I don't want to fully heal myself" this is oddly relatable like sometimes when I play Fallout I'll have well over 50 stimpaks for healing but I won't feel like healing myself since they restore more health at higher skill levels so I just continue with the quest with like half of my health gone until I almost die.

Still total garbage, but you right and I was also about to complain about Gman getting it wrong.

[@AtsukoR33]

@@shivalah Not really, it's not a bad mechanic because on the hardest difficulty, it's essential to heal as little as you can, as being RED/DANGER will insta-kill you upon taking damage. So keeping atleast 1 bar on WHITE, saves you from dying on the hardest difficulty, as taking damage when you are full health will almost take off half or even more of your health anyway, so it's not handy to stay full health the whole time since you can lose it all so quick. I exclusively play this only on the hardest difficulty so these things don't bother me. Saving as many pills as i can, and only healing more health bars if my stockpile is reaching it's limit, which was about 12 pills i think. It's also good for reviving teammates that just get hit or get downed too much in harder difficulty so you don't spend all your pills.

[@KiaTallon2]

Out of all the monsters you could be, I feel like you had a higher chance finding someone who is playful/ non-threatening when they are a Zombie Dogs (at least for me, I normally just ran around them or showed them collectibles if I could).

[@GBDupree]

​@@KiaTallon2 Yeah, that's what I did! I just did everything I could to convey that I wasn't an AI controlled enemy, and befriend the players. This worked out the best for Chris' campaign where in China there are enemies that are bipedal and when controlled have a "play dead" button, as well as can shoot spikes. I was able to play dead whenever the players shot at me, so they thought I died, only for me to get up constantly. Eventually they stopped shooting me and I pretended to shoot the other enemies while standing next to them (though the game isn't programmed for my attacks to do anything to other enemies). Once they killed all enemies, we would just mess around together. Found a table that Chris and Piers could slide across, so I would time playing dead so it would look like I was getting kicked by them, silly stuff like that. We tried all sorts of things. Eventually though I had to convince them through gestures to continue their campaign even though I couldn't go on with them (the game kicks you out after each loading/cutscene section of a level). We did farewells somehow and they left. They managed to figure out my PS3 name and sent a message... all in Japanese. It took a bit to figure out the gist of what they were saying, but the language barrier made it tough. But they had fun and wanted to be PS3 friends. I think its funny that we were able to communicate better in-game through gestures comparitively.

[@squirrelsyrup1921]

There's a running section near the end of Chris' final boss where the two players have to both run and parkour around a cylindrical room while the platforms collapse beneath them. I played this co-op with a friend. We kept dying and it took is a while to realise what was wrong. Player 2's control orientation (the direction he would walk in when he pressed up, down, left, or right) was locked to Player 1's camera angle, which was constantly revolving as the player(s) made their way round the room. So if the players weren't exactly next to each other, with their cameras at exactly the same tilt, all the time, one of the players would just get nogged. He would suddenly find his directional controls became 90-degrees different from how they should be, and then the players would die. There's another section where Chris and Piers have to make a running jumping segment across boats on a river. We found that we had to stack drectly on top of each other, because both players had to make the jump at precisely the same moment. If one player was like a metre ahead, he'd press the QTE button, make the jump, and the second player would immediately "fail" the jump and die. Mercenaries Mode was quite well-balanced, and showed the potential of the RE6 combat system, which could have been good if it were ever allowed to shine. But almost all action sequences in the whole four campaigns would do something wrong. In some cases, you'd get to fight 3 enemies before an ambulance cutscened into teh area, and if you were standing in the wrong place, you'd just die immediately. In other fights, you'd get to kick two zombies but suddenly have to flatten yourself against a wall to avoid a speeding train, which would wipe out all the remaining enemies, unless you didn't flatten yourself, in which case it would kill you outright. In other fights, poison gas was coming up the stairs immediately after you, so you'd only be allowed to cheekily punch one zombie before you either cutscened yourself inside a room, or died. In other fights, you'd be cutscened into the fight and it would start with you facing 6 people who all started spraying machineguns right into your body, knocking you flat on your back on 1HP and forcing you to use healing. Almost every single moment of the game was hammered flat by actively bad decisions, camera theft, or broken controls. There was no ammo in the game, like anywhere. Where was the ammo??? And this is coming from someone who plays Re5 regularly, and only needs 1 bullet for each enemy. Why wouldn' RE6 on max difficulty even give you 1 bullet for each enemy? Instead all you could do was sprint and kick them, until you didn't have any HP because you got hit once, and then kick was disabled, and you still had no ammo so you couldn't do a single thing. Unbelievable!!

[@joshuanelson6795]

The same thing happened to me during that chase sequence. In order to outrun HAOS, you have to always be sprinting, but when the camera changes, your controls do as well, which left my friend and I temporarily unable to sprint, resulting in repeated deaths. It's a terribly designed section.

[@Zeon081]

that section, and the one on the boats, are the worst part of this game and the fact that both are in Chris' campaign makes this campaign the worst out of 4.

[@ryanyaques9500]

37:00 Jake's hand to hand system is there from the start. Its really good and useful because if you hold the stance, you recover stamina rapidly to continue doing power hits. It also locks on to enemies and allows you to hit multiple enemies in a row. I loved using this mechanic and i ended up using more than my actual guns and just left that stuff for Sherri

[@Muppemania]

The biggest rollercoast of a game I have every played. It would go from good -> bad -> ok -> garbage -> great -> meh -> good, and around it went. I played it first by my self and it was horrible, then I played it co-op and there were still horrible parts but it also had entertaining parts, I think Leon in that store was the best part, but for co-op the best overall campaign was Chris and his massive arms.

[@merozero2818]

Important to note! The crossover sections used to be coop, back when it came out it was pretty fun, to match with people on different campaigns and having 4 players fucking around at the same time. Not sure if the function still exists, but, it was really fun. some of the extra content can be really fun, Like Agent Hunt, which lets you invade other player's campaigns as a Zombie (most of the available zombies) to kill them. Of course, only for specific short sections, but still generally a very unique function. There's basically a "Puyo Puyo" versus mercenary mode, where you stack up combos to send increasingly harder hordes of enemies at your adversary to see who will get more points, or die. There is a mode where you play as Ustanak against 4-5 other players. Very fun. and a Zombies vs Humans as well, with a VIP that the humans have to protect. I think there was also just a straight up Versus mode as well? I don't recall. But the game is jam packed with multiplayer content, which makes it for one of the most Multiplayer-interactive RE games to date. Though a bad RE game. its one of the most fun Multiplayer experiences around that time.

From what I remember about the launch of this game, you could play this co-op and mix the campaigns. Basically one or two people could play Leon's campaign and the third player would be playing Ada's campaign as Ada, all connected together. Other campaigns had this feature as well. It's likely harder to have that mix these days as there are fewer players, but I remember it being pretty cool jumping into some randoms' Leon campaign co-op session as Ada and watch as they fought the awful bosses. I think there was one time an Ada player joined our Leon co-op session a few years after the game launched as well as they clearly didn't play like the AI Ada does.

It's nearly constant. Second thing I would change is going back to the RE5 inventory system. 9 slots and storage between missions rather than everything all at once. Also, if you tap the heal but faster you'll take however many at once. Two quick presses is two pills, four quick presses is four pills etc.

When I played this game on the PS3 absolute Leons ago, after the part where you go into the crypts with Helena I just gave up using the guns and melee'd everything whenever I could. I got tired of how everything could tank hits from even the revolver. Jake and Ada made that really easy. Being stuck playing as Sherry, Helena, or god forbid Piers made it a slog. The hard part was keeping NPCs alive in the gun shop and the church while doing melee only challenge runs, otherwise it was just too easy. Resident Evil 6 is to me the most seventh gen of seventh gen games.

You know Capcom is gonna remake this lovable mess. I wonder how...

[@realamericannegro977]

In my opinion all they really gotta do is polish this and call it a remake and folks will be happy. If they remake it like they did part 4 they would cut too much and it would still be too expensive.

[@fossilfern]

I remember being at the euro gamer expo in 2012 playing this before it launched and the rep for capcom could visibly see my disappointment.

[@Beeegdix]

When the game first came out you could connect your game to other players and would play as the guest characters in another player’s campaign. The issue was, both players had to hit the damage thresholds to end the fight. So if Leon is doing little to no damage to the boss, the Ada fight can take forever

[@ren880t9]

RE5 is gonna be interesting to remake but RE6 will be very difficult too remake if they can.

[@justdracir8197]

I don´t pardon you on this one old man. I think it´s an awesome game. The variety in characters and levels. The gameplay. The soundtrack. The graphics (i mean when this came out it looked really good for PS3 / 360) The bombastic scenes and setpieces. And it´s a hell of a fun together aswell.

8:11 - You can actually press the heal button multiple times to pour out multiple pills in one go, thus healing a larger amount of your health. It's still a needlessly complex system, but it does at least cut down on the tedium a little.

[@wrayday7149]

The most unbelievable part of RE6 were those cubed phones. No clue where Ada stored hers in those tight pants. The Director fundamentally misunderstood the criticism/feedback from the game. He thought the modern controls were the problem (They weren't)... it was the story and pacing.... RE6 had to be played multiple times to be enjoyed... most people probably didn't stick around after the 1st playthru. The crossover multiplayer was the strong selling point... as someone else was helping you probably had more powerful weapons. Alone, the AI is far lazier as you discovered..... unless the multiplayer session crashed.... then you had to do the fight over again.... and if someone joined mid battle..... you had to do the fight over again.... but it was an idea. The endless zombies were your resupply enemies. Re6 and Re Rev 2 probably had the best Merc Modes across the series and it absolutely broke my heart that they cut that from Re3R.

[@pipehelix5776]

Last year I played through all of it with a friend. The most enjoyable thing we found is the "shoulder tech", where chaging shoulder view resets the weapon's rate of fire, so chris's shotgun was pretty much fully automatic, as well as that chopper part taking 3 seconds with the full auto grenade launcher. Halfway on chris' campaign we were just done with it, but fully commited to the bit

I feel like I've always been the odd one out with this game. I happen to love the campaigns, but dislike the Mercenaries mode. The game is also MUCH more enjoyable if you turn off the HUD & turn laser sights on, instead of the crosshairs. You can still check your health, ammo, stamina with the tap of a button.

[@ZDWario]

That's what I think too. And I did the same with the hud. Mercs was boring with the new mechanics making it too easy. I love RE6 but the qte chase scenes and bosses going on forever is pretty annoying.

[@CaptainFellowship]

There is a part in the Chris campaign where you have to save random nameless hostages and when you do there is a little cutscene of them thanking you and running away and it’s so out of place for a resident evil game that it feels more like some kinda weird 3rd person House of the Dead.

[@Smoquan]

When I read how you put that, it makes it sound like an easter egg/purposely placed reference. This is one of my favorite games, but I can't really remember that part. Not a huge HotD guy, so it would have gone over my head.

[@coldeed]

How is that out of place? Chris and Jill literally founded an organization to do exactly that as a result of the first few games.

[@CaptainFellowship]

@@coldeed a hostage scenerio isn’t necessarily out place, its more in the way it’s presented. Before RE6, how many unnamed NPCs did you encounter in the series have? How many of them survived? Zero I can think of. The games, particularly 1 through CV) understood to use NPCs to build the horror and story. They all had names, a narrative function, and usually a grim resolution. Being told to go rescue random unnamed business men because they are getting hugged by human centipedes, and you do, and it’s never brought up again is strange. They should have had you rescue 1 hostage, give that person a name and a story, like “go rescue Dr. Smith, a leading scientist in microbiology who is blah blah blah”, and you rescue them but maybe it was trap and they were secretly infected, or maybe not and they show up later in the story with some insight into the C-Virus. Instead it felt like filler.

[@coldeed]

@CaptainFellowship No, they shouldn't. It's the difference of them doing that stuff before being pretty much independent compared to a more organized fashion. It's just reasonable continuity and character development/growth.

[@Wertologist]

>8:14 you literally can spam the heal button and you pop out however many you pressed. You don't have to do one at a time and wait for the animations. Granted that the game doesn't tell you this, but it's easy to figure put

Many nostalgic memories playing mercs and predator with mates. I’m honestly left stumped how they could remake 6 without changing so much that it’s pretty much a different game altogether. If Capcom does decide to take on the task, i hope they take an extensive amount of time. Let em cook

[@pzogel]

Having played through the game just recently (and for the first time ever), I respectfully disagree. RE 6 arguably has the best combat system of the entire series, and once one accepts that it's not a horror game, it shines as an action game. Given the sheer amount of content, the few lesser levels hardly matter, the story is fun in a silly, over-the-top way, and Mercenaries mode is roughly on par with RE5's. I also liked the characters, both recurring and new. Wouldn't mind if Capcom would go back to this type of cheesy RE, even if it's just for one new entry. Also, looks like you forgot to increase the FOV. The game plays approximately 260% better with maxed FOV.

[@MediocreNed]

Too bad resident evil is an adventure game with guns though.

[@Bawkr]

arguably both 5 and 6 are action games. You can argue that 4 might still be horror but I personally like to say it's what 5 and 6 came from, so it's part of it. & Capcom tends to put those 3 titles all in the same camp as well. They're Action Horror, survival is still an element in the game but it's not the same genre as survival horror, however I do really still think all of these games even ORC should be called resident evil because it's in the universe they're just different types of gameplay. (I remember reading in the magazine that ORC was going to be a swat game in raccoon city) but no one seems to understand this once they actually get the game or very few they seem like they're expecting kind of a mix between RE4 and RE2 every time capcom releases a title, overall that is the consensus I feel from the masses.

[@MediocreNed]

@@Bawkr People trash on 5 but love 4 even they're basically the same damn game simply for two, possibly three reasons. The partner AI, the item system, and the writing. In 5 the AI is basically dead weight, which is ironic since 4 was a gaint escort mission. Ashley in 4 is basically a box that just follows you, only about 3 sections do have serious have to manage her in the game. The item system is both real time and reduced in 5. So it comes off as a regression compared to 4 and needlessly difficult. It was done since it's a online co-op game. You can't pause gameplay online. The writing is personal taste but both 5&6 try to take itself seriously when it's clear both games are campy as fuck. RE 4 was more of a realization that the whole scenario is absurd after years of writer's block and embraced that. The remakes as a whole are an attempt to de-camp the writing with varying degrees of success. It's capcom wants a action packed RE game since it's one of their top 3 series, they need to accept the fact that fans have expectations of the series itself.

[@justsumguy8193]

You should be arrested for having this opinion.

[@RapidCrafter]

Resident Evil 6 isn't as bad as people say it is. The co-op is a ton of fun and the mercenaries mode is an absolute blast. I doubt we'll ever get a remake since there is SO much that Capcom would have to change in order to make it a complete success
