Final thoughts on Resident Evil 6.
Oct. 12th, 2012 01:51 amI've beaten all the campaigns in Resident Evil 6. Considering the game have been getting a very polarizing reception, I just wanted to get some thoughts down.
Before I start, I figure I'll get the big point out of the way...I liked Resident Evil 6.
Yeah, I end up in the camp that liked it. Even though I say that, I will also say that I am not oblivious to its flaws. The camera is awful, the controls are awkward, and the game does have an identity crisis (it can't focus on what kind of game it wants to be). I also do think plenty of the quick time events aren't implemented too well. That being said, I ended up enjoying it after it was all done.
Leon's campaign was the strongest of the three since it did capture some of the element of Resident Evil 4. Then again, I'll probably admit Leon Kennedy is my favorite character in the Resident Evil series. Jake's campaign was the next one and the monster that's always pursuing him and Sherry was close to feeling like the time I dealt with Nemesis in RE3 (specifically in chapter 2, where I had to get out of the area without being detected). Chris's campaign was probably the most forgettable since it did try to being more of a shooter, yet the ammo weren't really enough (then again, with Leon's campaign, I also did feel like, at times, I was supposed to play more like the older RE games, yet seem to insist on killing every zombie). No comment on Ada, though it was interesting.
Mercenaries mode is still a blast and Jake is my new favorite (he's so top tier, like that father of his that doesn't want to pay for child support).
So, to put it this way, it's not a bad game. However, it is pretty rough (especially from the identity crisis problem, causing a loss in focus). I don't regret the day 1 purchase, but I will say this is a game better off waiting for a price drop due to how rough the game is. (I know that ain't going to make me look good, saying RE6 is just good).
