Re: Resident Evil 6

Really enjoying Leon's campaign so far. No way in hell this game deserves a 3, 4, or 5/10... that's just ridiculous and dramatic IMO. Is it a perfect 10. No, but it's a nice to look at, fun to play, slightly faster paced Resident Evil game.

This game is at most Redboxes right now.

Just spend the $2 and you could probably beat one or two of the campaigns this weekend.

Re: Resident Evil 6

I am finding that when I target a Zombie's head they bob and weave like they know I am trying to shoot them in the head. Is this just my perception or a bit of programming?

Im guessing that the 360 version is multiple discs. I went to redbox and got it however when it popped out it had disc 1 on it so I just returned it.

It's definitely the best looking game on Xbox I've seen.

I wish the pace was slower and the attention to detail was like the old games....problem is the story though...the earlier games where kinda mysteries...zombie outbreak why is this happening yada yada....every protagonist in the game comes from previous games so it makes no sense to go back to those tones.

Almost has to be a shoot'em up unless they started the series over with new people.

The whole game is on disc 1. Disc 2 is a voice over pack.

Probably something I would have Googled before just immediately returning it

I completely agree, and had the same thought. With the way the story has progressed, it's become an all out zombie infestation and biological war. Yes, there can still be creepy slow moments, but for the most part, we know what's going on. The faster pace makes perfect sense IMO.

Like you, I would enjoy the original pacing as well, even the pacing of RE4. At this point though, it's pretty silly to think that these characters would be wondering what's going on and trying to figure it all out AGAIN.

Re: Resident Evil 6

Quick early impressions, I actually really enjoying it so far. I know I'm in the minority here, but I've always been a fan of QTEs... I think they add a fun factor to cutscenes and some tension to gameplay.

So far I like where the story is going, the graphics look very good, and the controls are fine.

We'll see, but being the RE fan that I am, I think I'll really enjoy this, regardless of the mixed reviews or my initial fears. It's not RE4 good at this point, but I'm glad I decided to still get it.

Whats the % or ratio of QTEs to shooting/exploring?

I've heard theres ALOT of quick time events that break up the action of the game.

Also how long is each campaign and is each campaign have the same amount of gameplay or is one campaign like this and one like that?

From what I seen and heard:

Leon's Campaign - Creepy with a RE4 feel.

Chris's Campaign - Gears Clone

Jakes Campaign - Mix of both

Ada Wongs Campaign - Haven't really heard about this one much. Single player only and have to beat other 3 campaigns to unlock I believe.

The majority if QTEs come from when zombies lunge and grab onto you. Personally, I like them, as they do a good job of representing your struggle to break free. There are a few QTEs during cutscenes, but usually you're just pressing a button or two. By no means, IMO, do they break up the action, they are simply part of it.

Each campaign is about 6-8 hrs, with a 4th campaign unlocking when you finish the initial 3. Considering how many games release these days with just ONE 8 hr campaign, you get a hell of a lot of content with this title.

If you we're excited about this game before, don't let a couple of the stupidly low scores sway you. This game is awesome, and a great continuation of the series.

Got it traded in Sleeping Dogs. Might not get to it anytime soon but heres to hoping its good.

Question though. through your play thru(depending on how far youve gotten and how many campaigns you played?) what had been YOUR run time of playing?

Like did you go through Leons in 6 Or 8 hrs?

I'm still in Leon's campaign about 5/6 hrs in and what seems like at least another hour or two to go. Really enjoying this 1/3 of the game; feels like RE4. The GS employee I spoke with the other day, who was also having a blast, was about halfway through Chris', at around 3.5-4 hrs.
