Resident Evil 6 Aizio's Verdict

I'm sure many of the RE fans were very excited when Capcom announced the launching of next Resident Evil game.Resident Evil 6 was released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on October 2, 2012 and later the PC version on March 22, 2013. For the ninth installment of Resident Evil franchise, Capcom tried to bring innovation to the game by introducing many new features. You can check out the official trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyoCLM6nvgM&noredirect=1

Resident Evil 6 allows players to select between three scenarios with connected storylines, each with their own intentionally different design. Each scenario follows one of three main protagonists - Leon S. Kennedy, Chris Redfield and Jake Muller. The player characters from each scenario will have their own partners which are controlled by either the computer AI or another human player via local or online multiplayer. When playing in single player, the player can allow another player to join in online at any time and inventories are now kept separate from each other.A fourth scenario is unlocked after the player has finished the other three, in which the player controls Ada Wong (without a partner). The game also features the Mercenaries mode, where players fight hordes of enemies, and the Agent Hunt mode which allows players to take control of random enemies in other people's games.

Resident Evil 6 allows player to select 3 campaign scenarios; Leon, Chris and Jake
Becoming one of the anticipated game, however,doesn't give any privilleges to the developer. There were many negatives reaction to this game. Apart from the story and game play, gamers were enraged by the fact that RE becoming more and more action rather than horror. Most gamers complaint about these 2 things; GAMEPLAY and BUGS.

GAMEPLAY

Yeah, i know most of users complaint about the QTEs, scripted event, poor inventory system bla...bla...blaa. I'm going to agree with it because yeah it is poor especially the inventory system. 3 layers of inventory just to put herbs into the case! Wha...??? Why putting a lot of effort just to do a simple task? It just doesn't make sense at all. QTEs. True it is annoying but it takes time to get used to it but still need improvement there though. Camera also need to be improved.



BUGS

This is a major issues and i hope for the next installment of RE, i would not encounter it again. So many BUGSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! How do you expect users to enjoy the game when there are 'sudden death' when you haven't done anything or fighting any B.O.Ws yet? This is kind of dissapointing!

The unique thing about RE6 is Story Intersections. I'm not gonna talk about Co-op campaign and graphics because it is a common features for most of the games. I'm looking for the rare ones. I choose this feature because it is quite new for me and creative innovation. All campaign intersect with each other and I think this the FIRST game i played to have this kind of feature. So far i've not encounter any games that have this kind of creativity. So much effort to make this possible.

Lastly, Resident Evil 6 is an innovation to the RE series and it has potential to become a great game but with its several drawbacks I give a score of :


7/10
*******
AVERAGE
Although average yet still fun to play and experience!
