Humility. It won't happen.

The physical form of blasphemy
It is.
Could indeed be a glitch. But they have briefly flashed review scores plenty of times in the past just like this and they always ended up being the same after finally going up. Don't get me wrong, I am kind of hoping it was just a glitch this time.
They don't even need to get Mikami. Just give it to somebody who knows how to direct a good game, like Itsuno.
It was heavily advertised on the site at the time, and the higher ups (which were fairly new at the time and didn't really have a grasp on how the industry worked) caved to external pressure and fired him.
This video explains it much better.

This is pretty much all that needs to be said regarding reviews, period.
Yeah, it was Kevin.
well, this means that 4.5 could be legit? Someone asked him on twitter and he didn't exactly deny it.
Yeah, that's really confusing reading some of the above comments. No reason to keep killing yourself if that happened, so that tweet must not be about RE6.
Very much so. I am actually expecting it based on seeing Gamespot leak and remove reviews plenty of times before. But I am still leaving the door open that it could have been a mistake. Who knows?

So you don't trust people on gaf or friend recommendations either? Because reviewers are just people, totally normal people, who out a number next to their opinion and get a medium to express what they think of a game. Reviews are subjective, like everything else.
To me (and by watching some of the stream), it seems that this game tries extremely hard to do a lot of things. It takes tons of elements from other games, movies, etc and throws them in here, hoping to make something Bigger and Better. There's action adventure game elements, there's survival horror elements, there's cover based shooter elements, there's stealth elements, the list goes on.
It seems like it's up to the player whether they extreme amount of gameplay variations sticks or falls flat, and from what I've seen, they fall a little short more often than not in my opinion. That might be the cause of the negative reviews.
Definitely will be a polarizing game though. I could see some loving it a ton.

It kind of is, I just wrote an in-depth opinion in the spoiler topic going chapter by chapter, but in my personal opinion I felt the game has very uneven levels of quality throughout, and I think different parts of it will attract different people. I'll just say when they said they were trying to make a game that had elements to 'please everybody', they were not kidding. The flip side to this is chapters designed with other people in mind might not tickle your own personal fancy.
There's moments where this game is slow-paced with jump scares, moments where it's straight-up dudebro action, moments where it's a stealth game... I want to say more but, spoilers.
This variety has it's appeals and disappeals. As a gamer who plays a lot of genres it was really interesting, but my break-down varies from chapter to chapter.If anyone wants to see that, here it is, but be warned there are some pretty big spoilers I mention: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=42587667&postcount=485
Personally speaking, I like the game a lot.
ALSO, something I should add!
This game has a MUCH better single player experience than RE5. BUT, I also think this will be a REALLY fun game in co-op. From what I played locally recently (my copy arrived~) and have seen, this game is actually a really good co-op game. Somehow, the variety and continuous twists of expectations makes it pretty fun with friends. Weird, I know.
Well I know its always different reviewers taking on different games, but if you want to take the site's review record for the series into account, RE2 got a 7, 0 an 8, and Code Veronica a 9.5. Would have thought that it would have been the other way around, but I guess it just depends on the person doing the reviewing.

Uh...my friends (save for maybe 3) only play Gears, CoD, NBA2K and GTA, and then complain about there being no good games out, so HELL no. And GAF hates almost everything in my opinion, so the answer to that would be "eh, not really." In GAF's defense, the games they hype up are usually pretty good.

October 1st, embargo goes down that day (not sure time, though).
A day before release? Wow Capcom is really not confident about this. I remember when we know RE4 got 10/10 a month before game release. Now they spoil so much of the game except review --"
Im sure i will enjoy this game. But i hope the director get fire if this game turn into shit. Too much for 3 years waiting for my most belove series.

All games do this now. Some have embargos lasting till the release day.

I LOVE variety in my games. I think MGS4 is a masterpiece because of how it amazingly switched up the game basically taking you back to its roots and trying out all new things constantly. So it seems this game will be perfect for me.

Played the demo.
Leon with Laser and no hud.
Chris with indescriminate blazing guns of glory.
Jake with Non-stop Melee action.
Loving it. I like the control and feel of 5 more, but I barely learned any of the dodge/roll/etc mechanics and I feel like they'll make hard mode even more crazy.
Will get the PS3 version maybe but will also get the PC version.
(PC version of 5 never got a lot of the DLC for it, so I'll keep the PS3 version handy just in case.)
I understand why people would dislike it and assume it's bad. But I love it. Others love it. so it did SOMETHING right. It's not for you, it's for us.
"That's not gameplay, that's an interactive cutscene.... That's... not ok..."
Seems like this dude is a bit new to the series or he just dislikes QTE's.
RE kind of standardised QTE's in RE4. I'd love a few QTE's in MGS4... other than R1 to look at bewbs.
He either already made up his mind or bought this game knowing NOTHING about it...
I'll assume he just likes to rant about stuff he dislikes.

VanOrd is going nuts on twitter on how much he hates RE6. Demo hating gaf has their voice.
Hahaha.some twitch admin said:
Well, the stream is over, Tnose is clearly a RE6 hater or a No-fun-allowed bot.

Very short lived. Capcom most likely are going after streams after what happened earlier, but I think it's kind of silly for them to. The game is legitimately out in several places. I placed my order online about a month ago and just got my copy this evening (I've played some but I'm mainly waiting for friends to get it so I can play with them), I know it's being sold now and in some other countries is already publicly available. But guess Capcom want to crack down on it.
Really? Should ask for my copy tomorrow. It's an Anthology edition, so I'm not sure if the codes for 4/5GE/CV are in a card inside the case or if they're given by the retailer. If it's the latter, then it's waiting until tuesday.
So what was the score?

I've played the entire first chapter of Leons campaign. What I can say is... I absolutely love it. A few things come off a bit much like the quick time events, not that I don't love them, I do. Many others HATE quick time type events so can see them just totally hating on that. The first chapter took me 2 hours total after deaths and re spawns at checkpoints. Also some stutter animations at times when enemies leaps at me caused some disorienting moments. Overall the atmosphere and the style is leaps and bounds over 5... so far. I have much more to play but what I can say is that, if the game continues to only get better. I'm totally satisfied. Will check more out tomorrow.

A video of actually competent players! The first stage of Mercenaries being done by two people online as Chris and Leon, get a 150 combo.

I also learned two things from this video about mercs in RE6:

I also learned two things from this video about mercs in RE6:
-You can slide into time crystals to gain time, didn't know that and much faster than kicking them.
-Doing a 'strikeback' (reflecting an enemies attack back at them at the millisecond before they hurt you) gives you a 10 second bonus instead of 5.

Some good mercenaries gameplay.The lack of enemies still bothers me.Or the map is way too big i don't know.

We are in-sync here. Completely in-sync. Also by playing a round it's kind of both. The maps are actually really big, but also the enemies are spread out. However, it does matter a bit less further in as the monsters do get stronger and stronger and some of the later ones can be a hassle.

Looks fucking awesome. Slide -> quick shot is pretty hilarious. An option to pull the camera back would still be nice though.

does the other costume for Chris have to be unlocked or just the special ones?
This more then anything has me so hyped for this. I don't even like Mercs, but the idea of Chirs and Leon working together even if it's only in Mercs is something I've wanted since RE2.

The lack of enemies is worrying. The fact that shooting for the head has no consequences is also worrying.
The level is graphically bland and ugly too.

I like that there is a bigger set of zombie skins, not the same 3-4 villagers over and over.
That mercs video is worrying, it's the only mode I felt I could count on 100%.
It just never escalated, mostly zombies that are barely a threat.... Looked incredibly easy and boring honestly.
Other than the counter there didn't seem to be any reason to use the slide or any of the other new mechanics against these enemies. Looks bad.
