Resident Evil 6 was a weird Frankenstein's monster of a game. It tried being a horror game, but it wasn't good at that. It tried being an action game, but it wasn't good at that either. It tried pleasing fans of all genres, but ended up pleasing no one.I tried watching RE6 on a stream and I thought I was watching a movie, not a game. I thought a video game was designed around INTERACTIVE entertainment, not trying to woo the "player" with 1000x cutscenes and awesome graphics. But alas, for every AAA title out there released by big developers who look to turning a profit, there's always the indie developer that actually cares about the well being of his/her game like it were raising a child, foresaking profit in turn for a more distinct and fun-to-play product.
I see everyone playing SCP Containment Breach but that ain't no money grabber. Instead it's designed around just having fun. This is why I like Valve with games like Portal, TF2, L4D, etc. And sadly, this is what Resident Evil USED TO be back with RE1, RE2, RE3, CVX, etc. RE4 was the last good title.
I still remember looking forward to RE5; the trailers looked so promising showing zombies shuffling towards Chris and dark corridors. I played the demo with a friend and didn't think too much of how the gameplay had changed since but by the end my friend mocked the game; I didn't get why. After picking up the preorder, playing, and completing the game, I too was dissapoint. Heck at one point it felt more like Indiana Jones than Resident Evil.
