Yes several

Although usually it's more than one person

A lot of youtubers (particually smaller ones) are way more honest than mainstream reviews and if you get someone you jive with, you end up knowing what you will like

For example TehSnakerer did a 2 hour video on why Greedfall sucks and his video just made me want to play it because everything he complained about I approved of XD

each campaign was supposed to have a different feel to them
leon/helena was supposed to feel like a classic horror focused RE game
chris/piers was supposed to feel more like the action focused RE5
sherry/jake was supposed to feel like RE3 with an unstoppable enemy following them the entire game
ada was supposed to play like separate ways in RE4 showing what she was doing in the background
And they all failed XD

Chris and Piers' ending is probably the most memorable part of the game.

For me the most memorable part of the game (story) is this:

Well that was as long as I remember and then some.
Enter building, chase snake around building for fifteen years, fight snake, chase snake again, finish snake, jump across floating platforms, get chased by helicopter, fight helicopter, driving sequence where both players get a turn on the turret and a turn driving.

Even if it's not the longest one, this one always felt like the game's big endurance test to me.
Yeah the game never figured out pacing

The game is a lot of fun. The haters hate it for dumb reasons.

"The controls are so bad! They are clunky and a mess!"
Must be baby's first RE game. RE games have had clunky tanky controls since part 1. Why people suddenly choose RE6 as the part to use controls against is beyond me.

Because the controls ins RE6 are worse. Even worse than 4 and 5 that controlled similarly.


"TOO MANY QTEs!"
Must be baby's first QTE game... unless they've never played previous RE games, Kingdom Hearts games, God of War games, Shenmue games and a ton of recently critically acclaimed games that are filled with QTEs. Dunno why people would even use this reason as a way to say RE6 sucks when it's literally no different from any other game filled with QTEs.

Because it's worse. QTEs suck but RE4/5, God of War and Shemue were much much better and more fun games with better pacing and game design.

How can you say "You must not have played previous games" when RE4 is beloved and RE6 is known for being shit.

Just because QTEs were in multiple games doesn't mean all games are the same.



"It's too way over the top!"
And RE4/RE5 wasn't? Leon ran from boulders, ran from a giant statue chasing him, dodged lasers with acrobatic skills in RE4 and Chris literally punched a boulder down in RE5. Did you go into RE6 thinking it was gonna be more grounded and realistic?

2 problems

  1. RE4 and 5 were campy and fun in way 6 wasn't. 6 was boring. To put it in perspective the very first time you play RE6 the game starts with a forced walking section.
RE4 starts with the village section that was so beloved they reused it for RE5

2., RE6 is sooooooo over the top that it falls on it's face. Sure RE4 had El Gigante but RE6 has 2 monsters that are 200 feet tall with combat helicopters shooting the giant horn on their back. It has 2 citywide outbreaks (remember RE0/1/2/3/Outbreak were all pretty much about the same incident)

It has boss fights that go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on as they turn into various monster creatures.

There's no fun pacing, there's no escalation, there's no comedy, there's no vareity, there's nothing you can relate to or sink your teeth into. There isn't even really gameplay challenge. It's just stuff. Stuff just happens and you slog through it. It has the plot and gameplay of a late 90s Arcade on rails shooter.

"The skills are useless. Weapon upgrading was better!"
Skills are fine. You didn't even need them

"They're useless"
"You don't need them"

So... you agree?

"The inventory system sucks"
Again, must be baby's first RE game. Inventory management has always been a thing in RE games but I get it, you don't like this game so now inventory management is a problem.

People don't mind inventory management, but the system in 6 sucks. The old school games did a good job of limited space + storage chests. RE4 did a good job of the attache case where items had relevant sizes and you could move things around and combine things.

RE6 was just lame. RE5 was too and people criticized that as well. Turning herbs into Tic-tacs was dumb too.

You're not listening to the complaints people had and just going "Oh baby's first. You must hate [entire mechanic] because this game sucks and had this mechanic!" people aren't mad at RE6 because it has a inventory system and QTEs. They're mad because the inventory system and QTEs sucked. The game sucked.

If you enjoyed the game that's fine and I'm glad you did but you're being really silly with your dismissal of valid criticisms.

There's a reason why despite good sales this game mortally wounded the franchise and RE7 pretty much had to soft-reset the entire franchise and go back to 5 lads in a cabin in a swamp.

Honestly this is probably the truth, all things considered. The wrestling business is full of awful people, trying to build fame off of death(even murder) likely wouldn't even be a first there.
I don't think so

It's not like he's getting loads of attention and tons of bookings

We're sick? You're the one absolving a man we know for plenty of other reasons is an absolute s***stain of a human being, who more than happily would encourage his wrestlers to harm themselves if it meant a greater profit. The total lack of protocols and basic checks for the safety and well being of the wrestlers back during those times was sickening. It's a f***ing miracle Benoit was the only extreme circumstance of what could have happened.


Vince being a piece of shit for unrelated reasons doesn't mean you can blame him for a murder he didn't commit. That's absurd.

Vince wasn't standing outside the lockeroom going "You didn't take 17 unblocked chairshots to the head last month!? That's it I'm cutting your pay!"

Hell Vince even gave Benoit paid time off to recover from wear and tear. He offered the same to Kurt Angle and Angle was so pissed off that he quit.

You can't blame Vince for Wrestlers actions.

There's plenty of shit you can blame him for, but not Chris Benoit murdering his wife and son.

You admit Vince did this but don't believe Vince encouraged similar behavior behind closed doors and/or looked the other way.

Lmfao

I can't think of any angle that involved unblocked chair shots to the head in WWF/WWE outside of Mick Foley.

Maybe that one with Ken Shamrock where he knelt down and put his hands behind his back but I'm 80% sure that was just Shamrock trying to prove he's tough rather than the booking team.

If you know of any then please tell me. Everything else is on Benoit.

You also can't blame Vince when Benoit took the worst bumps and chair shots in ECW, WCW and Japan.

And WWE has severely cut down on headshots and dangerous bumps. Even stopping matches for concussions and ending careers for concussions. Jason Jordan would have continued to wrestle and died young in the Attitude Era or in AEW or Japan.

People trying to blame Vince for Benoit's actions are pretty sick TBH. Vince never made Benoit stand there and take unblocked chairshots to the head for 20 years.

I think the only guy who that gripe can even hold water for is Mick Foley who Vince did tell to take unblocked chair shots. But again, most of Mick's worse stuff was outside of WWF too. I don't remember Cactus being powerbombed on concrete on Raw.

Outside of the main crew, Videl was arguably the strongest human in the world at this point. Spopovich (the dude who beat the shit outta her) was beaten by her dad easily in the last tournament, and Videl was going into this match seen as a clear favorite (although the viewer knows something is weird about them). So the purpose was to:

1) Show that something very weird is going on with the guys who have Ms on their foreheads, as their power fat exceeds what they should be capable of doing.

2) Piss off Gohan (Videl is his looming love interest) so he powers up, with progresses the next part of the story.

3) it just makes the viewer angry at this new group, seeing them needlessly beat the crap out of Videl. It also shows something about her, as we have never seen her in a big fight before. It shows that she has one of those Im never going to give up attitudes, as she had the option to submit at any time (not that they ever play off this attribute agin with her).
What sucks is that there's no pay off

Bobidi just kills Spopovich for no reason and Gohan's anger doesn't come up.

Then it just reverts back to same old Vegeta and Goku.... twice

Such a weird set up
