I like single player campaign when I want to take my time finding everything I need. Other than that, I would rather play with friends.

Wow. That game was awful. I don't know what to say. Seriously my most hated game of the past couple of years. I actually felt physically sick playing it. You're either a masochist or just blind for anything with the RE label on it.

F*ck. Like a 'nam flashback. That game.

[HeavyMetalCarebear]

For me, it gets boring if I play it for a day or two now, probably because I played it to death when I first got it, but, I dunno, I thought it was really fun with friends.


My most hated is RE0 for the reasons I mentioned earlier. That game can go to hell.

[The Stryker]

I played it with friends and it was still a godawful experience. I can't imagine playing it alone. Sounds like a good way to make suicide seem like an awesome route to take.

That game would be overpriced at $5. Massively overpriced.

[HeavyMetalCarebear]

To each his own. Not really concerned with how much you hate the game, tbh. You have been quite clear in your stance the last few posts. You don't really need to repeat yourself. I get it =)

[The Stryker]

That's a-okay little girl but I can talk about that ish all I want. Free forum. Man...awful.

BTW. RE6 actually discussed for like 4 posts in a RE6 thread.

I am not a little girl.

You've been rude to me since I posted yesterday. I can be quite a bitch, but I choose not to in this forum. Perhaps you can try to be a little more mature than you are being because it isn't impressing anyone at all, besides perhaps yourself.

I asked yesterday if the thread could be a general RE thread with the RE6 topics merged. Just waiting for the fellow to respond when he gets online.

Anyway....interested in the direction Ada's character goes in this one.

[The Stryker]

Impress people by stating my opinion. Oookay then. I impress everyone all the times everytimes in other ways. It's kind of a curse. MOTY and that ish.


One thing I am genuinely curious about is the subculture of people that actually care about RE characters and story. I want to know what ya'll see in any of it. I like Leon but I can't tell you a thing about him besides what his hair looks like.

You can say the same about almost anything else... I don't see what there is to understand. Everyone has different taste. You act like it's some sort of ****en rocket science that you can't figure out.

Speaking of Ada in 6, is that lady with the red scarf her too? Because I've read that that's a completely different character who just looks like her named Carla.

Honestly? It kinda is.

I can understand liking the games as games but I think the story is just hollow and kinda really dumb.

I'd really love to know what I'm missing if anything.

[Spitfire]

I think the story is meant to be dumb. No one writes crap this bad unintentionaly. I think its the whole point. The game is a homage to campy horror movies. It all fits when you view it that way. The bad one liners, voice acting, plot holes, but with lots of attention paid to character and monster design. Like a bad b movie they focus on how cool everything looks and less on everything else.

[愛]

They tried to turn a stupid story into something deep and sophisticated. It was a horrible idea. I still find the first three games as a whole a fairly interesting story for what it is. When it stopped being zombies, I stopped caring. Are they even zombies in RE6? Whatever...all I see in that game is a man giving a giraffe the night of his life.

And yeah, Operation: Raccoon Terrible was just that. Not even multiplayer could save that game, because the multiplayer was broken half the time. And seriously, that last boss? Come on, bro.

Either you enjoy it or you don't. There's no equation behind it. Why do you enjoy anything? Because it's so good that it's easy to understand why someone would like it?... GTFO.

[Cure]

Touchy, touchy.

I am genuinely trying to figure out if I'm missing something deeper and you get all pissy and tell me to get out. Strange.

I like RE 4 and 5 a lot actually. I'm just don't think the stories or characters are as engaging or deep as some put them out to be. I'd seriously like to know why a person would consider Chris or whoever a great character though.

Talk about trying to impress someone. Geeeee whiiiizzz.

[Memphis]

Chris used to be a great character. He was just a regular guy. Then he went all superhero mode in 5 and became an alright chracter. I'm surpised the ndesu boss fight wasn't him and Chris boxing. Chris's hair in 5 was fantastic, however.

That's not what it sounded like. The way you say it, it sounds like you can't believe why one would like the story and characters of Resident Evil. Long story short, you're saying it sucks. Now I'm one to believe in such a thing as terrible products and great products (in this case the characters and story). But quality also has nothing to do with how much you enjoy said product. Everyone enjoys different things for different reasons. There's nothing I can say to make you magically see the "light". If you got nothing out of the characters and story, then that was you. You saw a poor story and a character that has nothing more to him but his hair. Meanwhile, someone else saw a fairly decent story with an attractive character who sports a sarcastic attitude and has shown lot's of growth since his last appearance.

What, did I impress you?

[The Stryker]

Actually my opinion of you went down a notch when you tried to go into your little tough guy routine. You're usually one of the not-crazies here. (I wouldn't dare to compare you to people like Aquaparade. I'm not cruel.)

It's not about magically seeing the light and wanting to be swayed to the 'other side' it's merely about understanding. When I like something I can usually point out something besides 'Its good to me so it's good to me'.

Again. I like RE4 and 5. I just think the story is convuluted and the characters are generic. Maybe I'm missing something though and that's why I ask. No need to get all defensive over it and act like I just insulted your mother or something.

BTW I was completely ready to play RE6 and I was excited about it. My opinion on the story and all but then I played the demo.

Should I be hurt? I had no idea I was being a tough guy... I guess you think I'm tough.

My point is, you're not missing anything. You got everything everyone else did. You just took it differently. You don't need to understand it. Why do people like Mario? He's just a plumber with a mustache. But I bet you'll get so many different answers. Even dumb ones. People could like Sonic because he's blue, Master Chief because he looks cool, Chris Redfield simply because they want to look like him. No one can really give an appropriate answer. I mean yeah, they are pretty generic, but sometimes that's not a bad thing.

And again, the way you said it was pretty insulting (but nothing to bitch about). But I assure you, I was not getting defensive at all. Maybe you were just reading my posts as if I was being a butthurt prick or something. I wasn't though, it's cool dude.

You shouldn't lose hope yet. That demo was based on a game still in development. Who knows, maybe you'll change your mind on the 18th when they release the public demo.
