What players say

Perfect game for spending time with your homie. don't look for plot and anything serious about this game. its not that bad but its not good either. Ada is terrible in this version. the developers wanted to revenge cuz how broke this game got that they put impossible achievements for players to force them to play a dead multiplier game. dunno if I can recommend this or nuh. I recommend cuz its good for one time...

Played Leon's campaign on Normal/Veteran (we switched after getting too much stuff) with a friend. I've heard so many bad things about this game and I agree with most of the criticism yet I still recommend it because of how fun it was. But... I would only recommend RE6 to people that intend on playing it with friends. Story It's unusual for me to start with the story but it was so wacky and funny that I have to talk...

It's 2012, I've been an RE fan since 96, and I found RE5 to be a bit of a weird divergence from the games I'd grown up loving. I get RE6 day one and pop it in, and just.... don't get it. It doesn't feel like RE, it's confusing to play, there's really obnoxious QTE, and just a mess of a story. I'm so disappointed in the game I stop playing, and figure the series has moved in a direction I don't like. I don't pick up...
