This is an amazing thread. Someone needs to put legendary Neogaf threads into like a book or something - immortalize that stuff forever.

Play the demo yourself, you'll see how bad it is!

Read through the OT to find out for yourself. Some really great impressions from both people who liked it and not, and some great conversation that breaks down what is good and bad about the game.
I don't even understand what you're trying to say here.
I suggest pondering how shitty a game would have to be to deserve 3-4/10 on it's own merits, and wondering if maybe people have an axe to grind.

Lol the whole point of forums is to get into debates. It's not like I'm trying to convince you to do one thing or another, just having a friendly conversation.
Go back to night school then, reading comprehension is obviously not your strong suit.
Lol I've only seen gameplay videos. My friend tried that demo and deleted it a minute later. Literally. I did enjoy co op on 5. But man. If this is getting even more flak than part 5 then ill just have to pass.

Well, thats why I actually read the review, know the tastes of the actual reviewers or opinions in NeoGaf and other forums. Even in films I know what critic has more or less my taste and/or they actual opinions or bias.
Well, not everyone has the time or the money to do that

What sales numbers are we using for this? I'm looking at Capcom's numbers and I'm not seeing this either.

I feel the same way. RE5 was average and forgettable. If RE6 is the same or worse but 35hrs then ill pass until a PC Steam sale. Too many good games out now.
Even if I were to accept that Jim Sterling had some hidden agenda for RE6, there are 38 other publications in that aggregate. Were I to believe in conspiracy theories regarding the gaming press, I'm more inclined to believe that they inflate scores as opposed to low-balling scores.

dat famitsu review
The truth is some of it does, while much of it is a rushed looking mess, loaded with ugly textures. This wild inconsistency in quality is present in nearly every facet of the game. Go watch a HD video of Chris's last boss fight and your jaw will drop, now compare that to some of the awful character animations and shitty looking levels.
That's not very nice.
and I would suggest following logic, looking at a bunch of reviews and formulating your own opinion based on what you see firsthand.
lol at your axe to grind nonsense. do you seriously think people that bought this game want it to be bad?!? is that where we are at GAF?
Dinged because it doesn't have a cute girl mascot, huh? Japan...
I think the overall graphics were inconsistent due to the fact that the game uses much larger areas than any other previous game in the series, along with a revamped MT Framework and higher emphasis on lighting.
I felt models were much higher quality than 5, but this may be due to the lighting and shading they used this time, which may make up for any shortcoming in actual details. The way light bounces off Leon's vest in particular is pretty great and makes me actually enjoy looking at his model. I never paid much attention to textures, but I never do that for any game, really.

If that's the case then you need to learn how to articulate better and also how to argue better. Your point wasn't made clear and also it seems like you're shifting your stance as well. You're in not in any better position than he is.
Out of all the things to bitch about they choose to complain that they don't have a cute Girl in the middle of a Bio outbreak? Jesus that is just awkward and really makes me hope who ever wrote that gets fired.

Formerly worldrevolution. The only reason I am nice to anyone else is to avoid being banned.
RE5 is the best co-op game of this gen. I know my partner and I will adore RE6 as well. I can't hate on the reviewers thinking it's a bad game, it most likely is. But man, I wish they'd also factor playing the game in co-op into their reviews. 5 set the precedent that these games should not be played alone, and I enjoy them so much more that way. These games are now just super enjoyable, yet mindless shootemups with an RE skin on them. You can't think of them as the old REs anymore.

600 staff working on the game. three campaigns each as big as most single player campaigns. made in two or so years. how could it not be a mixed bag?

Wait, that's what was actually written? I thought that was just more shitty snark. If so, then I'm embarrassed for those writers.

I thought his hair looked terrible honestly, probably the one visual element that stood out to me as being horrible. It looks flat and... not hair-like most of the time. There are a few parts where it looks pretty great though, another example of the game's general inconsistency.
It might be.
I do know that it scored high in Famitsu and given their sketchy at best track record with me I just assumed it was real.
My bad if not.

that Famitsu quote can't be real because of Sherry, Huntington and Ada.
Well that is true, should've picked up on that. My mind jumped straight to them wanting someone like Mio thurst into the game for the Cute cover girl.

I agree, reviewers should stick to the 7.5-10 scale
Three and a half years actually, which is a more than decent amount of time. Also, only 150 of that 600 were actually dev. team members from CAPCOM. I don't know whether the remaining ones were part of development or just relegated to the likes of cinematics, motion capture and such.
Capcom reminds me of the machines in The Matrix. They made the first version of the Matrix with a reality they thought humans would enjoy, but as it turns out they were machines and had no idea what humans actually enjoyed (i.e., misery) and the Matrix was a failure. The machines learned in later versions of the Matrix though, and the humans eventually accepted the Matrix as reality.
Except that Capcom is not learning here and keeps trying to stuff this gears-type action shooter crap down our throats. But who knows maybe millions of people will buy it and this will become the RE reality for all time, leaving some of us behind to argue how much better "vanilla RE" was, like those vanilla WoW people.

Lol. The irony.
In my opinion, 5 was a good game, just not a great Resident Evil game. Too much riding on the tail-coats of 4 with added mediocrity.
6 blows it out of the water, but certain elements of the gameplay might put you off. If you can't get used to the controls or camera, you're dead in the water.

The game is not officially out yet everywhere. There is going to be an explosion of impressions over the next two days. That said some reviewers were clearly RE5 fans and some of them really don't like it.

RE5 is much better overall -- even with the terrible forced coop (speaking from a single-player perspective, of course).

Just entered the thread; this is easily the most polarizing game of the year.

wiki says they started development in 2010. so at most we're looking at 2 and 3/4 years. at most. if you're just counting from RE5's release, you're probably doing it wrong.
In all fairness this is pretty amazing.
