it only gets a pass because it mimics one of the best games ever. the mandatory AI co-op shouldve gotten someone fired but it's still intact in RE6 lol

RE6 at least improved the co-op partner AI: they can't die, they don't use up your ammo, and they aren't quite as likely to empty a clip into the back of your head shooting at an enemy that's right in front of you

but that only matters if you're stuck playing it single-player

SOOOO MUCH

Re5 coop is great as long as you get along with your partner. I played it the first time with my bro and he really hated my whole "cautious sniper" approach to everything and we both died a lot. My SO didn't mind it and we had a way better time.

E: also whatever setting that lets u shoot thru ur partner is the best

don't solo 5. there's one boss fight that's rear end without incendiaries but the rest of the game is fine.

Resident Evil 5 completely missed the point of why Resident Evil 4 is cool and decided what we all really wanted back was the grim tone and convoluted Umbrella garbage, also forced co op poo poo screws up the gameplay and Tetris inventory. In summary: boooo

Most shooters during that time made coop integral to the story and I think that's a bad move. Halo and dead rising 2 made player 2 a clone of the main character and it didn't get in the way of gameplay.

Mercenaries is hands down the best part of 5 and 6. 6's combat is so fuckin good but it is attached to a ridiculous slog of a game. Play Mercenaries Every Day

absolutely nothing in 6 makes sense. I just started Jake's campaign and he's just some bald dude in Estonia injecting giant syringes into his neck because he's heard they give you an energy boost and then you spend the first five minutes of the campaign getting rockets launched at you while Sherry screams at you about antibodies and the BSAA and Javoes and they barter about prices and units. Everyone involved in this game loved cocaine so much.

I don't understand how to use Jake's combos but I loving love hammering on it in Mercenaries and laying everyone out even though it doesn't usually get kills

his fists are incredible in mercs. aside from the thing that's totally not the tank from left 4 dead, i haven't found anything he can't pummel into a fine mist

I think the blind guys are just about the best and most horrifying enemy in a game. Nothing else I've encountered really makes me just pause and calm myself. It's awful! It's so good!!

After the clock tower and goofy bridges there's a room with two of them. I just stood by the door, shot at one guy till he died and exited the room before the other lopped my head off. The door doesn't lock if you don't move away from it (maybe gamecube only?)

One of my top gaming moments ever was in the room with the two cranks. I was getting overrun by cultists and turned around and saw a dude on the other side of Ashley about to swing at her. I aimed the shotgun at her head, she ducked, and I blew the guy away. The timing worked out perfectly and it's probably the most badass I ever felt in a game.

Has there been another AI companion as easy to cart around as Ashley? It was probably easier to program her to stay out of your way since she isn't supposed to get into combat, but even so it's been ten years and I don't think I've heard as much positive talk around another companion.

I think it's because RE4 is just a really well designed game, the core gameplay is great and the scenarios they place you in are really well thought-out and are perfectly balanced around the player's capabilities, including Ashley as an aspect of that. It's genuinely one of the best games ever.
