It's crazy, I'm not even playing slowly. The variety is ridiculous.

It wouldn't be RE without ridiculous camera angles though amirite?

The 2 basic costumes and
the 2 specials and I think a 3rd is a recolor
So, now that people are playing it, is it a broken piece of crap? What i mean is, a game about to receive a 4.5 would indicate something seriously wrong. Like, pro difficulty or the game balance is totally borked. RE games have always had strong game balance and systems and this game just seems really sloppy. I was hyped for it but I canceled my preorder and will probably wait on more reviews.
It's not broken at all (or sloppy), I'd put my money on the reviewer being a dickhead.

I don't know about that... Resident Evil games have a tendency of allowing the player of getting a little bit too strong by the end. Grenade launchers, magnums, and weapon upgrades tend have a big effect.
Also I thought that 4.5 was "leaked" before the review was even written. Not out of the question though.
Well yeah but you are always given that power after working for it.

Yep. I would assume this, too.
Yeah, and if he does like it what changed his mind?

The things that are bad about the game in the demo are still bad, but when put into the context of the larger game, there's something weirdly enjoyable about it. They don't make games of this scale very often.
I do, actually, really like the ridiculous amount of ducking and weaving control you have.
I haven't played any part of Chris's or Jake's story yet, but Leon's has been fun. The bad parts are so jaw-droppingly bad that they're actually kind of funny. It's weird. I like it.
Also, the way this game looks is bizarre. It goes from looking and feeling amazing (Tall Oaks) to completely sub-par (the subway) to really unique (an oddly lit room on the way out of the subway).
The way enemies work by themselves versus in a pack is super interesting.

Are you talking about Gamespot's Kevin Vanord? cause this man is by no means a dickhead.
A 4.5 and outright making things up about the game indicate otherwise to me.
No.
Capcom should sue that guy, they probably lost sales cause of the lies and embargo breaking.

Its a big fat lie that you lose your ammo during such a case.
Is it strange that I enjoy Chris more than Leon so far? I played 3 chapters from both. Leon campaign has some highs, but some lows. Chris campaign is kind of stable throughout so far. Chris hits hard! Leon and Helena hit their enemies like pussies. And the music from Chris is pretty epic. This game has a ridiculous amount of different enemies. Its one of the things that should be mentioned in reviews.
If one thing is certain then its that this game is a one of a kind experience thats also hard to rate. It feels like something I haven't played before. And the game is quite big on content although Mercs has been gimped somewhat.

That is good to hear.
I've only played the demo twice, but based on my time with it and all of the impressions I've absorbed, RE6 seems like a case of "jack of all trades, master of none" -- and personally, that's fine. There's just so much content here, and so much variety, on a scale that sort of suggests "Star Wars" with a horror aesthetic. Take it with that attitude and you take all the campy flaws in stride.
Why the hell would he lie? maybe he has a point. Let's wait for the review.
I loved Chris's campaign. I think most people would if they can get past the fact that it's more action-orientated, although it does have some really good horror set-pieces.
Jake's campaign is the weakest of the main three for me, although I like the character interaction (and wound up liking Jake himself, which is a far cry from my initial disgust that they went with some shoe-horned son of a main villain, but he's a pretty decent character). The actual gameplay is rather so-so.

Actually I laughed my ass off because of how Leon just stands there.
Star Wars with horror, BUENOOOOOO
Anyway how much of the game have to played? And if you have done the different campaigns, how much of the same area content do they reuse? I know some of the same levels carry across the different people.

Be prepared to be amazed by some of the most stupid enemy AI seen in gaming during Chris and Jake's campaigns. I've not started Leon's yet because I'm playing in the order Dusk Golem suggested.
The second half of chapter 2 in Chris' campaign is the first time I've REALLY enjoyed the game. Now, the enemies in there are a lot of fun to fight, mainly because they're quite dynamic.
Jake is... I'm not sure what to think of his campaign yet, I'd say it'd be a lot more enjoyable in co-op, but it isn't anything that would've been missed if cut from the game altogether...so far.
Anyone know the name of the music that plays after each chapter? It's really good!
You're not asking me that question, are you? I started by saying "I've only played the demo twice," so I haven't played the full game yet. I'm just saying how things look from my POV with the demo experience and impressions from other people of the full game. It looks like a giant Frankenstein's monster of a game, made of many pieces, sort of shambling overall, but still impressive and perhaps even lovable overall. But I won't have the full game until Tues.
He's @fiddlecub on twitter if people want to ask him directly. Obviously he won't give any real answers till the embargo is up.

Ah shit sorry that comment didnt even register with me.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iHOlrPRo0Q - Another mercs video from me. The map is Steel Beast and playing as Sherry with her alternate costume.
So far? Quick time events. I have only been playing for about 30 mins, but people who thought the car keys scene was bad, it's nothing. I think Asura's Wrath had less QTEs in it's opening half hour. The look of the game is remarkably consistent between all it's cinematic transitions, gameplay and QTEs. It's a clever idea to do a cinematic tutorial like this in theory, but truthfully I can't stop laughing at how stupid it is. It's like Resident Evil directed by Michael Bay, I don't know if that's good or bad yet. Playing all day will update from time to time.
Edit:
Hmmm, the camera is totally environment sensitive, so is the force walking. You can run through a doorway as many times as you want and you will stop and force walk on the other side every time, even once the story has moved on. Camera pulls out to a great wide view in open environments (whole game should be locked like this), but in tight halls it's really close up on the characters, so you can't see anything. Playing Leon's campaign first, all the same as the demo.
No. But you need to play through the campaigns to unlock more maps for mercenaries. And there's only 3 mercs maps in total.

Am I alone in thinking the shooting is probably the most satisfying of any 3rd person shooter?
Guns sound good and loud and the rumble's intensity is great.

Wish this game had a free cam replay mode for mercs like in tf2, you'd get some amazing videos made with that
Based on the demo?
I would say you're probably alone. It was a shitty demo, but I expect the full game to be great.

yeah, its actually the only thing I really liked about the demo.

Sherry in that costume kinda makes me appreciate the camera angle it goes into when you go into full sprint. =D

Hail, peons, for I have come as ambassador from the great and bountiful Blueberry Butt Explosion
Interesting. Sounds like something I'll enjoy.
Doing the order Dusk Golem suggested, played up till chapter 2 of Chris. The shooting is pretty awesome and there is lots of ammo to be found everywhere. I'm playing with headphones on and the sound is really good. The enemies are pretty freaky btw, the flying insects scare the shit out of me. Only thing that's bothering me is that the camera gives me a bit of motion sickness, first time ever for a game

I don't think I've ever experienced this in a game yet. I can see how it'd do that, though.
