RE5 was a transitional game, it was a game that admitted that the old, traditional RE style games aren't going to sell in this day and age and "we need to modernize it and make it more accessible to everyone ." For me, and the very vocal minority of people out there, this sucked. We obviously wanted them to at least stick the shitty, old stupid gameplay and all the silly bullshit that surrounded it, but instead they decided a more action-oriented route was the right course of action. There is nothing inherently wrong with this decision; you have to go where the money is, not where your small (but insanely rabid) fan group want you to go.
I didn't hate RE5, even though I should have, because it still had a lot of those silly old RE tropes that I had grown to love over the course of the series. They forced co-op upon us, but we dealt with it. RE6, from everything that I've played, and all that I have read and seen, seems like such a complete departure from everything that came before it that it is mind boggling that they would consider this the "next step" in the series.
I think that if there is any point where I, as a huge fan of Resident Evil from day one, would draw the line and say "nope, you fucked it up", this is the game. RE6 may be huge fun to action game fans, people who picked up RE5 and consider themselves fans of the series, but for those of us that have stuck it out since day one, I'm done. You have killed Resident Evil for me, Capcom, and I really don't think there is much you can do to save it. Just do the die-hards a favour and put some other name on this line of shit you're pumping out, because calling it Resident Evil is slightly insulting at this point.
