The real unique stuff was the multiplayer mode, which was this kind of crude co-op quasi-Outbreak thing. It was cool because you could play as every member of S.T.A.R.S., including the dumb guys that die in five minutes. I remember Forrest would say “Let’s light this candle!”

i have never met another person who owned the game to see what the multiplayer was like lol

it’s like very niche. I think it was janky cause like two people couldn’t fight the same instance of a boss/enemy simultaneously-you’d be depleting two different health bars. So like one person would fight a boss and the other person would wait around. Cool concept at least.

Still genuinely surprised there isn't some sort of Resident Evil Classics Collection for all the old versions of the games, but I guess they're invested in the remakes more than anything now

I'm absolutely fascinated by it and would kill for that 80 percent build that is apparently legit out there but in the hands of some rear end in a top hat collector. I want to see it as close to the finished product as possible because it's a cool window into a game that was complete loving trash and would have cratered the series right out of the gate lol

There's a good battle system buried in there, but the campaign maps clearly weren't built around them and it fails to introduce players to the new mechanics or teach them that it's fundamentally a melee-oriented game with the guns mostly useful as stun tools

And even when you do finish a campaign or two and have things mastered, it's unfun and tedious to go back to chapter 1 of a new campaign with the difficulty brought way back down.

The upgrade system was crummy, no one likes to finish a chapter and not have enough points to buy anything which was 80% of the time.

The vehicle segments should have been axed

The AI partner is mostly useful as a tank because they were made invincible as a band-aid solution to them needing constant protection

The game had to be patched to reduce the number of QTEs. It also had to be patched to allow camera controls because at launch the character's profile obscured half the screen.

They re-introduced classic zombies and it becomes immediately clear why they stopped using them in RE4. The over-the-shoulder camera makes it too easy to pick off slow lumbering mobs from a distance, zombies are only a threat in closed quarters or if they surprise you. They compensated for this by having zombies that move at random speeds or leap at you from a distance, but it's much less predictable than the RE4 and RE5 enemies whom more or less telegraph their attacks and take turns attacking you as they encircle you.

The reason past RE games made you start with a pistol and doled out new weapons over time was so you could get acclimated to how they each function. Also, it's a cool feeling to pick up a new weapon that's 2x more powerful than your old one. RE6 pretty much gives you the full arsenal on chapter 1 and tosses you into a mob of enemies from the start and lets you figure out in the heat of combat how they differ. Again, I assume this was a band-aid solution for players to get past the wild swings in difficulty.

Like goshdamn it's so frustratingly middling and I've spent more time thinking about it than any other RE game

It had the best version of mercenaries mode though
