I'm going through Resident Evil 6 right now, and I can't express even the slightest how disappointed I am. I'm not even sure where to begin, there's so much wrong with this game and not just compared to older games in the series.

Resident Evil 6 is simply ridiculous, calling it "over the top" won't do it justice. I've seen less action in rail shooters, hell, Michael Bay movies have less explosions. Every elevator you go in will either explode or have its cords cut. The game is simply bent on making even the slightest tasks/events over dramatic. 80's action movies seem down to earth compared to Resident Evil 6. I usually don't look for much logic in video games, certainly not in games like Resident Evil, but goddamn, there's no way whatsoever any character would survive half of what's been going on in Resident Evil 6.

You'll die often, not because this game is challenging, you simply won't react fast enough to QTE's that appear every few steps. There's no such thing as a cutscene without QTE's in Resident Evil 6, it's irritating to say the least. There's no sense of horror, in fact you'll often run towards monsters to punch them in the face. Melee attacks are overpowered and you'll never even come close to run out of ammo. No jump scares either, efficient ones at least. Music is either not there or you'll wish it's not there at how uninspired and anticlimactic it is.

The entire game is as straightforward as it gets, there's no exploration. No puzzles whatsoever.

Then there are technical issues like numerous game breaking bugs, for instance in Leon's campaings, chapter 4-4, no matter what at the end of it you'll always get "mission failed" screen, and the Quad Tower chapter won't load at all. From what I read it seems I might face similar bugs later on.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg (I may actually add some stuff later). Everything, and I do mean everything Resident Evil was known and loved for is gone with this game. This is all I have to say to Capcom right now...



I haven't been this disappointed with a video game since Dragon Age II.
