RE4 needs to be played with a Gamecube controller, all the controls make more sense that way

not much I can do about that, though 
āWell, I see that the president has equipped his daughter withā¦ [inhale] ballisticsā.

Does he say that? Jesus
I hope this game got shit from sb for the sexism. In the very beginning there was a woman nailed to the side of a cabin with a pitchfork or some other tool and Leonās comment was that thereās apparently no gender discrimination in this town. Like, really? Youāre gonna say that? Never mind that women are most vulnerable in any society and on the receiving end of violence all the time but whatever
Iām having considerably more fun with the controller. Also, with the rifle and tmp because they can actually get stuff done. Especially the rifle because it kills in one headshot
A few years ago I worked with a woman who looked like Ashely from RE4. Weād tease her by yelling āLeon help!ā all the time and eventually her nickname became Leon.
She was really cool and well-liked and when she quit we realized no one remembered her actual name, the end.

this naked disc of RE6 has sat unclaimed for a month and a half. The Wii TNA impact copy is the only game Iāve seen last longer

I donāt know what makes 6 such sb material, I thought it was just supposed to be trash? I mean, is that why itās good or what am I missing?
i donāt think itās SB material. iāve been proselytizing it because i do think lots of people here could/would appreciate it
it is trash in some ways, but itās also one of the best third-person action games ever made. the combat is miles ahead of RE4/5

double post-as-edit: honestly i donāt really know how to describe or defend it other than to say it is a very unique game and nothing else comes remotely close to executing the things it does well.
edit edit: have you actually played it? where did you get the idea that it was trash?
The removal of gun porn was the cardinal sin in my eyes.
I canāt entirely shelve my professional contempt for the buckets of wasted money in RE6, but Iāve bounced off it twice and am still planning to go back on your recommendation.
My current feeling is that it has almost transitioned out of the deliberate, restrictive pace of RE4 into a smooth action game but unfortunately retains some holdovers, in a similar manner as late pre-Symphony Castlevanias (I find those Castlevanias internally inconsistent too).
Thereās not a world where I donāt prefer slow and deliberate action to frenetic but I know I donāt understand it or enjoy it to a level I could, because I trust you that thereās something more there.
Youāre kinda selling me on it. A RE with better combat system is quite enticing.
I havenāt played it myself, no, just watched other people play it and I was mostly turned off by the setting and the enemy designs. It felt like the series ran out of ideas. But Iām more than willing to give it a shot myself, thus my interest in peopleās opinion on it. Thanks for responding! Iāll probably try it next weekā¦
RE6 is definitely not lacking in ideas!
my biggest issue with the game is that some cutscenes are unskippable, and given that the game is brutally unforgiving on the harder difficulties (which i recommend highly), youāll likely watch certain scenes way too many times. pretty sexist at times (chrisā campaign intro cutscene is quite blegh). that said, it has a fabulous contradictory BBB-movie vibe which i dig. itās cheeky and doesnāt take itself a tenth as seriously as RE4 or 5. mercenaries level design is a bit more hit-or-miss than the levelset in 5 and 6, but the stronger levels are tip top.
i recommend playing the game on professional (solo) or no hope (cooperative). if the game isnāt punishing you, you should probably notch up the difficulty.
the horror in this game should come from the challenge, imo. thatās what makes it work.

RE 6 has been out for like what, 4-5 years now? Iām not gonna go look.
As I think kinda mentioned earlier here, it looked like so much overproduced, watered down actionized endpoint for the franchise, but Iāve felt an obligation to see it through eventually.
Amping up difficulty for the better experience I can dig but Iām not sure if that can override the gameās lacking in other areas overall. Being surprised and off the expectation can be good though @meauxdal I will be sure to share my takes once I get to it.

the beginning of re6 has you coming to in the middle of the street where you have to meander over to some door and quicktime it open and the whole time a helicopter is hosing you with machine gun fire for a sense of urgency but none of the bullets are hitting you cause its a tutorial
the cracked version has working online co-op play

alright, Iāve played RE6 for exactly 12 minutes now and I have so many thoughts that I just need to post about it. this game is some insane actiony bullshit and I love it
itās completely overproduced AAA style stuff and somehow I donāt mind that
it starts you out in first person view and thatās amazing
Leon gives Helena the Roman handshake where you grab on to the other persons forearm instead of hand and I love that, thatās what I do in real life
gun porn lovers are gonna hate on this game because first Leon points his gun at a helicopter and then a minute later he pulls back the slide to load the gun when he goes to check out a new area. so what, was there no bullet in the chamber when he pulled the gun on the helicopter or did he just expel a perfectly good round? I know itās just a movie trope to pull back the slide or cock the shotgun but still, itās always amusing when they do it incorrectly/nonsensically
pulling left trigger to ready and right trigger to shoot is better than that RE4 nonsense where you ready with the trigger and then push a button to shoot. this is how itās supposed to be
you can pull up the menu to mix herbs and do other inventory stuff and still move around, thatās neat
I love the look of Leon in this game. He looks better than ever. probably because he looks older than ever
the thing that lets you see where youāre going might be a bit much
that said, I immediately needed it after I thought that and in that situation it didnāt even help lol (I had to kill zombies to progress, not actually walk anywhere)
I figured out that you can just kick zombies around with the right trigger. thatās very cool.
a crash bandicoot section happened and the game told me to press left stick + A and I hammered A instead of holding it, making Leonās sprint animation display for a split second over and over again. it was hilarious and actually didnāt look any worse than the stupid RE4 QTEs where he moves at super speed if you press the button fast enough. I still didnāt fail this section! the QTEs are super easy.
I loved how you had to wiggle the thumb stick like mad to āstabilizeā the fucking helicopter. Iām sure thatās how they work in real life! just wiggle that shit!
them landing on a glass ceiling with loads of zombies underneath was very cool.
And thatās where I am! 12 minutes and Iām already enjoying this way more than RE4. I had to actually laugh out loud when the helicopter scraped the train. I was like, what else now? What else are they going to be throwing at me? I hope the game doesnāt lose that sense of wonderment, ever. Itās pretty insane so far and I like it.
