[quote name='TooPoor']Well, it makes me sad that the fact I along with others enjoyed the game has made you sad.
You can enjoy a game and simultaneously provide feedback to the developers. If for some miracle that everybody boycotted RE6 like you wished them to, it is not guaranteed that RE will return to its formal glory, it might just die off. We should continue to support it while it struggles to stay relevant in the COD action dominated western market, not bash or hate.[/QUOTE]
Personally I would rather support the upcoming re-release of RE: Revelations, sending the message to Capcom that I support RE games that carry on the traditions set forth in 1-4. It's true, I don't think completely ignoring RE6 and not purchasing it is the proper way to show Capcom that it's a disappointment, but I would say that even at $20 this game still has significant issues, plot and development-wise that make me regret buying it at launch. With that said, I'm confident it will be a $10 Best Buy coupon game at some point in the near future and I might pick it up again to see the patch implementation.
[quote name='Brother Daz']I understand this isnt the RE game from the past. Those have been gone for years now and I have accepted that fact long ago. As for the wasting $20 thing, I dont want to be that guy but $20 really isnt much to me. I'll gladly pay $20 for a game that I have interest in. Sure I may hate it and if thats the case then I guess you would have been right. I cant write off a game though because one person on the internet cant stand it.[/QUOTE]
I would agree that $20 isn't much ... however it's my opinion that $20 could buy you part of an incredible experience like the new Fire Emblem or Skyrim's new add-on.
[quote name='whoknows']Oh, you're one of those people who think the J'avo are zombies. Did you think the enemies in 4 and 5 were zombies too?
The Resident Evil story had always been leading up to what we got in RE6. There was always an emphasis on making viruses to be used as weapons and that's exactly what happens.[/QUOTE]
The J'avo are just a bad design choice to justify making this game into more of a shooter than past REs. I actually despise this game more because it's the culmination of the other games and they took it in such a weird, over the top direction. For example, why are there giant monsters roaming the city that you fight in Jake's level ... are those really even explained? They don't seem to be controlled really, they're just roaming through the city. Things like that just feel more like blown out of proportion set pieces than narrative-building additions to the game. I realize that RE games have always had questionable narrative choices, but RE6 felt like Capcom sold out in order to produce a game that would appeal to Call of Duty fans, Halo fans etc. There's nothing wrong with the fans of those franchises, but they aren't Resident Evil.
Sure the game has hours of content ... but I would argue that a shorter, higher quality experience with talented voice actors and a top notch story would be preferred any day of the week compared to what was delivered in Resident Evil 6.
