I just bought RE6 for free with Playfire credit.  I hope some west coast goon is willing to play with me.

I enjoyed what I played of RE6 Mercenaries mode but then I kept trying to play the campaign and I just never want to touch the game again.

A little mini-review of The Vanishing of Ethan Carter. Pros: The game is very pretty. It has the best-realized forest environments I've seen in any game, and some of the vistas you can see are lovely. Sound and music are pretty good and atmospheric, though sparse, which matches the kind of lonely feel of the game. Cons: The puzzles aren't very challenging, and most can be solved with a bit of trial-and-error. There aren't more than a dozen or so of them. Myst, this is not. The big one: the game is short. Very short. I finished it in a bit over three hours and while I enjoyed it, I don't think it's really worth the $20 it costs at the moment. The developers definitely have some chops behind them, and I hope their next title is larger and more complex if this one is a success for them. However I'd recommend waiting on a sale for this.

I thought the character that you play in Ethan Carter was the same guy who did the voice for Garrett in the Thief games, but apparently not. Sounds pretty similar, though!

Geomancing posted:A little mini-review of The Vanishing of Ethan Carter. I strongly disagree! The game is perfect in tone and mood, focusing on the difficulty of the puzzles or the length of the game completely misses the point. The writing, the music, and the atmosphere are amazing and I haven't been so strongly affected by a game in years. Totally worth buying full price.

Is RE6 better on controller or kbm? I would think kbm, but apparently melee matters more than guns...

Comparisons to Godhand are misguided. Resi 6 mercs is fun, but I'd be hard-pressed to draw any similarities between the two games.

I'm pretty sure the dev team(programmers + artists + designers) for Ethan Carter was literally 6 people. $20 for a 3-4 hour AAA quality adventure-horror game by a small team of industry vets seems reasonable to me. If they had charged like $40+ that'd be insane.

People have this weird assumption that b-movies, by virtue of being low-budget movies by amateurs, can't be scary, or achieve whatever else their intended result may be. People will constantly make fun of lines like "Jill Sandwich!" and "Master of unlocking!" and make them internet memes while not even stopping once to consider that these laughably cheesy lines were probably an intended part of the appeal. Resident Evil has always been ridiculous, even back to its roots, it's just now it's making its natural transition amongst the "b-movie" homages. These are probably the same people who will tell you that Resident Evil "started going to poo poo" with 4, when 4 is the best game in the franchise and is still scary as poo poo your first time through unspoiled. It's just near impossible to do that now that the game is a decade old. Resident Evil as a franchise is probably the closest thing that video games have to Guillermo Del Toro's career. *Compare and contrast this to that stupid-beyond-belief Errant Signal video about how Saints Row is a "tribute to kitsch." Resident Evil 1 is an ACTUAL tribute to kitsch because it's still scary and sincere, and didn't need to appeal to that aesthetic by stuffing itself full of references and memes.

I'm like this close to getting Resident Evil 6 but I have nobody to play it with.  I also smoke a lot of weed when I play games so I'm not sure if I'm the best co-op partner.

I am willing to co-op with anyone in RE6 provided they live in the US, Mexico, or Canada. Any further is probably pushing it. Professional right off the bat is also a no-go because it's been months and I need some practice to remember everything again. http://steamcommunity.com/id/raidou-or-raido/ Edit: Also, today's a bad day, but after that, I'm open whenever I'm on Steam.

RE6 was a terrible game when it released on consoles. Many people who hate it only played that version, which is terrible. When it came to PC, they made the shooting viable, and fixed most of the QoL problems people disliked. Some people who continue to hate it played this version, but didn't like how different it was from other RE games ( a fair complaint ). As a game, it is not an incredible brawler. It's also not a great RE game compared to other RE games. But most it's problems have been fixed ( barring the fact you spend more time in turret/driving/dialogue sequences then fights ), and if you don't care how similar it is to the other Resident Evil games, it's a fun little thing. The campaign isn't quite worth $60, but it's probably worth $10-$15, or whatever it goes for these days. And on top of that you'll unlock Mercenaries, which is a legitimately fun mode you can still find goon buddies for. If you weren't the type of person who would buy a Resident Evil game on day one, you'd like RE6. Most of our opinions don't matter, because we are just mad it wasn't the RE6 we wanted. It's the same issue DmC runs into, where the people who like DMC games loathe it, but the people who wouldn't normally buy a DMC game would legitimately enjoy it, so our opinions really don't matter.

I happen to think Resident Evil 4 is one of the greatest games ever made, and possibly the greatest action game period. Each successive release seems to focus on the things that don't really matter that much. Same story with Dead Rising... it was a unique experience unlike any other then they decided the sole purpose was to kill zombies rather than have all the other cool stuff going on.

I think the level design is getting progressively worse in the Resident Evil games. They are pretty much Call of Duty levels of sophistication, which is to say you go down one hallway to a point of no return, then go down another hallway. it may look like a cliff, or a cave or some poo poo, but it's really just a linear hallway.

No one is saying its a bad game (I don't even think its a bad game) but its not a brawler and its wasn't supposed to be. If you want a brawler, look elsewhere, unless you have played all the brawlers out there, then I guess this will do in a pinch.

What are all these brawlers I've been missing? I can't think of one, except for maybe that Dungeons and Dragons one that got remade recently. Or is that a Beat-Em-Up? I guess Zeno Clash but I didn't care for that.
