Resident Evil 6 (10.02.12) | Switch Edition - 2019

[Ksandra]

And if you really want to discuss it FFXI should have gotten no higher than a 7.0. Compared to other mmo's out there that came out around the same time(most notably WoW)

ffxi's release was a million times better than WoWs. This is not fanboyism btw, I played both at release and still go back n' forth between the two and love both. WoW was glitchy as shit. To the point they had two continents at the time. They had a ship that would go back n' forht between the two. on the alliance side though there was a constant glitch that made one of the ships (the one going from kalimdor to the eastern kingdoms) not work. So people could go from the eastern kingdoms to kalimdor but couldn't go back to the eastern kingdoms. Eventually kalimdor would get overloaded with characters and would crash the server. When I played during this time it was usually in 2 hour increments and then a 20 minute break while they brought the servers back up. took them like 6 months? to put a placeholder npc there that would teleport you since they couldn't fix the ship. Thing is, blizzard worked fucking hard to make their game better, while ffxi stayed the same.

you must also keep in mind that ffxi was also a console mmo, which was perfect timing. Their only competition in that market was Eq 1 and II. Which players were pretty pissed about. EQ1 was outdated, so people wanted something new, but the eq1 fanboys were fucking pissed that 2 existed without any kind of character transferring.


seriously, I remember people yapping about ffxi on release thinking it was going to be the best of the best. Of course, didn't last, but ya for release people loved it.

why is the RE6 thread in the XI section?

[TacoTaru]

If reviewers were biased towards meathead games, RE6 should have 10s across the board from what I've seen of the game play and review videos; even more so if it follows in the vein of RE5.

[Denmork]

I don't see anything meatheaded about punching a boulder into lava or taking a RPG to the face and shrugging it off with a witty quip.

[AoE]

First 10 mins playing, one thing I do not like is how aiming works. It probably doesn't help that I put the aiming speed all the way up to 10 but they should've kept the controls the same as RE5. I want to aim with the right analog stick, not the left. :/

Edit - NVM FIXED IT! LOL!

[notorious bum]

Final Fantasy XI with a 8.0 and a lame sports game NBA2k13 gets 9.1 from IGN, really? It's not just recent FF's (which I disagree on them sucking, they were good if you're referring to 12/13.) They are incredibly biased towards the general meathead population that plays video games like Call of Duty and sports/racing games that are lame and the same shit in every game. Golly gee a new racing game, this one is so much better than the last because it has different colored cars!

Point is, I don't trust a majority of reviews and I'll try it out for myself or watch actual footage of the game like on youtube to decide for myself.

You can eat an overcooked salami, NBA 2k13 shits on everything SE has shoved out in the last 7 years. RE6 is the very definition of shallow, meathead garbage that you so despise.

With that said, I agree with the last sentence, only casual gamers depend on reviews to make buying decisions.

This dashing system is a pain in the fucking ass.

Edit- never mind, I'm just a idiot

[AoE]

"YO! JAPANESE DUDE!"

Hahaha

Doing Leon's campaign and I've died almost 5 times already and not to QTEs (like some of the reviews suggested) except for one which wasn't so much a QTE so much as I wasn't supposed to be standing there at ALL.

These zombies are wrecking me and I'm trying NOT to fight every single one but sometimes you have to and they swarm the fuck out of you.

It's still early so we'll see how I feel but I'm enjoying myself.

[Kicoe]

I had alot more fun with RE6 compared to RE5 (got it Friday, done with the campaigns). I don't care that much for reviews and I didn't really expect them to revolutionize the genre.. It's a Resident Evil game after all. Was decent entertainment imo, and if I want play something really creepy I'll go for a Silent Hill game.

Dead serious. WoW was infinitely more user friendly upon release(and still is) glitches aside. It's no mystery why it received higher reviews than FFXI. I'm not saying it's better. I am saying that if you guys thought that FFXI was the end all be all of mmorpg's and deserved something higher than what it received that is definitely fanboyism talking.

Anyone who played the demo and still decided to buy this game needs to be handed a revolver. This shit is trash, don't know why people were thinking the whole game would be any better when the demo represented it completely.

Resident Evil: Call of Duty Edition

[AoE]

I'll take the revolver. Won't be using it on myself though.

I wouldn't go that far with the hate but I understand the frustration. It's like one of those movies where you turn your brain off and just watch it.

[Odesseiron]

I mean, despite RE5 changing the series to a more straight up action game, it still retained the RE feel for me. I was there at midnight launch for 5 and enjoyed it immensely even though it wasn't as good as 4.

RE6 completely removed any kind of semblance of that RE feel the series has.

For me anyway. That said, I'll pick it up when it's dirt cheap on Amazon or whatever.

[Mugmug]

This game sucks.

That is all, back to Borderlands 2.

[Kyo]

Tried this with a buddy, like I said about the demo, god awful. Have no plans of even picking it up in the cheap bin. Back to Borderlands 2.

[AoE]

lol Kyo you hate everything that's not Bioware.

[Kuya]

Doesn't kyo work for EA?

[BadKarma]

Doesn't kyo work for EA?

yes

[Kisamoo]

Played up till Chapter 4 Leon Campaign and I'm enjoying the game a lot. QTEs are easy to deal with the 'Breakout' skill, albeit still annoying. Game is great, haters gonna hate and Borderlands 2 is the most overrated game ever.
