@shantd No matter how people see it, it's still Resident Evil 5, or Resident Evil Revelations without being in first person mode, or if you want to compare it with another game, it's Dead Space with the ability to dodge. I don't have a problem about the change in gameplay style. In fact, I like the control scheme better than the previous ones because it allows more freedom of combat. If it improves the gameplay, why complain about it? What do you expect the gameplay to be? Survival horror again? With the characters now badasses capable of killing hundreds of zombies? Why not play the old games again then? I bet they are not scary anymore. 6.5 to 7.0 is a minimum score that should be given by Resident Evil enthusiasts, not a 4.5. I'll personally give this game 8 to 9 because the gameplay vary in each characters, there's plenty of collectibles in the form of titles you can unlock + skills that will definitely take me 100 hours of gameplay to collect, and it's 30+ hours long to complete the first time. This game is better and longer than Dishonored, Gears of War and Call of Duty combined in my opinion because I got bored of those game after I finish them and yet for RE6 I'm repeating the game again even though I completed everyone already the first time. If a game has that impact, who cares about the score? As long as it's not Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, with stupid gun wands, bare collectibles and it's just TWO HOURS AND FIFTY TWO MINUTES LONG!!!
Or better yet, play Haunting Ground: Capcom's survival horror game where you play as a teenage girl with the help of a dog running around a mansion while being chased by a hunchback lookalike, a psycho maid with a broken glass shard, a psycho with a gun and magician that can kill in 1 hit. If that game has a sequel, there will be no doubt that it will stay in survival horror territory.

Poor girl, if I was Leon I will just shoot and kick the shit out of those bastards. No girls should endure being locked in the castle surrounded by killer psychopaths.
@shantd So if RE6 is all about Leon and Ada like RE4 without Chris or Jake being playable, does it retain it's identity as a Resident Evil game? You know what you should do to make the current game more suiting to your liking? IGNORE CHRIS AND JAKE'S CAMPAIGN. Leon's campaign is already 10 hours long so it's like playing RE4 again. And about having no identity, each campaign is developed by 3 different teams specializing in different playstyles to be different from one another, so it's intentional. So basically, it's like playing Uncharted, Gears of War and Resident Evil in 1 game, it's worth more money that way.
To those of you that think RE6 is bad because it's like Gears of Whatever, like come on, if it is, so what? So is RE5 but these two games are awesome because they are both fun to play, and 30 hours+ long with varieties and amazing bosses that only Resident Evil can pull off. Camera and control problems are just not true because they are the same as RE5. So why complain about something that's so stupid?
You wanna know which game suck balls because of copying Gears of War? HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS. For using stupid "gun wands", and for being TWO HOURS AND FIFTY TWO MINUTES LONG! And you know whats even more insulting? The fact that RE6 is 0.5 points different than Deathly Hallows part 1 and 2, even though those two games are fucking garbage! What the hell man, what the hell???
@verminator83 You are definitely not a minority on this. IGN's section is much more open minded about the game than Gamespot ever will. They are mostly negative because they have never played the game before and just assume it's bad, which is moronic. And about changing demography, they're not changing anything at all. It's the same as RE4 & 5, only much bigger. Even then, to complain about Capcom not caring about the franchise and ruining it is disrespectful. They got RE Revelations on 3DS, so they should shut up.
@BushidoEffect3 I'm going to correct myself: Modern Warfare 3 should not be played. It's a big ripoff. The Black Ops series on the other hand, needs to because there's actually effort to make the game different. At first I though Black Ops 2 will be the same as the first, but now I realize there is a branching storyline that will be affected in your approach through a mission. Let's just see if it works.
@FreedomPrime But I played the prequel first. The sequel is the same thing, and it's even more awesome. If I just say "Halo 4 is GOTY!! **** COD!" even though I never played it, then I deserve that, but no, I explain in explicit detail that Zero Escape going to be awesome because I saw the playthrough and therefore jealous of the people that already played the game, and that therefore I have complete confidence in that game.
You can see there is no complex gameplay like Halo 4 or Assassins Creed 3, and it's awesome because of that. So why the **** do you talk out of your ass like you know what you are talking about?
@BushidoEffect3 But we can't really judge to quickly about which site is better though. Sometimes they got it right, sometimes they got it wrong. My theory is if there is at least 1 good review for a game that has split scores, it's definitely a fun and worthwhile game, unless it's Call of Duty. That game is a no brainer that should be avoided.
