Resident Evil 6 review

Big, bloated, and oddly beautiful, RE6 is the most ambitious Resident Evil yet

    Capcom literally is just ignoring the fans in every way imaginable with each new RE game. I don't have a problem with a new direction, but, honestly, if you're going to keep doing it like this, just stop.

    "... no longer a survival horror game." That's what's rustled my jimmies since part 4. It was and still is a great game, 5 was pretty good (don't mention boulder punching to me, please), though I enjoyed it more for the story and characters than anything else. 6 looks to be a good hybrid between 4 and 5's style, but I still don't see why they just can't make a campaign part that's old school RE style focused. Slow moving zombies. That don't sprout tentacles when you shoot them. Some people have said 5 would be their last RE. If it keeps going in this all out action shooter direction, 6 will be my last. Don't get me started on Capcom's approach to dlc.

    Seems like a good $40 game, I'll get it for one reason...the 25 hour long campaign. I won't buy this game expecting it to be another survival horror Resident Evil 2, Code Veronica, or 4. But, as a long worthwhile game.

    4 campaigns? What? Is that a mistake in the video review or what? Leon, Chris and the Wesker brother... whose the 4th?

    Oh Ada, NICE!

    how does this game stack up compared to other RE games? I assumed the action crowd would love this but RE fans would be unimpressed with it.
