Rushed out to capitalise on success, like I said, but at the same time they were trying to get really innovative with game systems and external hardware interactions, it was the first game where they were going in on the two versions thing from the beginning of development, they didn't have any obvious story hooks to pick up from since BN3 wrapped up so conclusively, and they were redoing all the overworld graphics in a new style. There were spinoffs around that time that would have taken up time and mental energy too, like 4.5 Real Operation. I wondered for a moment whether it was being pushed out for an anniversary year like Sonic 06, but nah, the 15th anniversary had come and gone by then.

Apparently recent resident evil demos have had time limits? (Not REmake4 thankfully)
That’s kinda funny


Remind me of a big electronics store that I used to go to, that had game demo stations set up, they’d automatically reset the consoles after like five minutes. So I tried ocarina of time, and after the cutscenes I’d only have time to have Link roll once or twice before the game reset again

RE6's plot: evil corporation man has the hots for Ada Wong, but is strongly rejected. So he researches a virus and uses it to turn someone else into a clone of Ada Wong, except he gets rejected again by Not Ada Wong and she takes her revenge on him and the rest of the world.

That's it, that's a whole plot. Also evil corporation man turns into a giant bone t-rex and other weird shapes cause he gets injected by said virus and it's very silly.

Oh sorry, I forgot to mention Sherry Birkin and Jake Wesker ( Alfred Wesker's son whose blood will help create the vaccine since he's immune to it) are off on their own adventure somewhere with sweet kung-fu and a very anime confrontation on a grate bridge over a pit of lava with Not Nemesis.


And someone named after Chris Redfield and who looks oddly like him also exists in the game. His companion dies horribly and is never seen from again thankfully in the series.

Fun fact: This particular Nine-ball is from Fromsoft's Not Super Robot Wars, starring Gundam, a Super Robot War, Armored Core, and some other bullshit. The Nine-ball references AC4/4A instead.

The very best part is Not-Nemesis has a gatling gun arm he takes off for his fist-hand so he can just engage in Mortal Kombat with Lil' Wesker. Meanwhile, Leon is crashing every vehicle on the planet and Chris and Piers are playing Call of Duty, Mario Kart, Ace Combat, and Mega Man. I'm not even exaggerating.

RE6 is dumb as gently caress in all the best ways.

The very best part of all remains that Chris gets explosive amnesia from squadwiping his dudes like it's an XCOM before the game starts and Piers cures him of it by reminding him why he's so pissed off to start with; namely, that he hosed up and squadwiped his dudes. That's it. That's the solution. They also scream at each other to hurry the gently caress over to a door instead of quietly panic-whispering like the others, which fits for the guys with assault rifles and an anti-materiel rifle.

RE6 is fun when it lets you play it instead of forcing you into increasingly awful gimmick sections. Unfortunately that's fairly rare.

RE6's gameplay is pretty solid imo, it's just the plot where you're kind just strapped in for a long haul of... questionable decisions.

BN5: Level 1/EX viruses all game, but opening the postgame door turns the entire game into level 2, and opening the post postgame door turns the entire game into level 3. You get your full kit by the end of the game, but you still have to backtrack through every zone to get stronger chips.

this is the worst thing about 5 imo. the strategy game element is fine enough but i got pretty far before dropping it and you never really feel like you're getting any stronger

The version differences in 5 were super phoned in as well. I don't think there's any actual differences at all to the scenarios unless I'm misremembering. You do the same dungeons just recruit a diff navi at the end.

Well 5 also has the issue that its chip selection flat out sucks. Hardly anything has any combo potential, it's all low powered and the available codes don't flow together except for S. When it comes to boss fights, pretty much everything makes them flinch. 2 has similar chip power problems, what with some chip series being 40 damage all the way up, but at least it has a lot of codes for each chip and some reasonably easily-available cheese.
