    I'll be synthetic. The game is filled to the brim with entirely gratuitous scripted actions. I hate those. Many scenarios are likewise gratuitously slow. I hate that. Zombies' reactions to attacks reek of brawler games. Tekken wasn't as clumsy though.
    The interface reeks of console design. It's insulting on PC.

    A lightly dressed guy in the opening scenario apparently holds a dozen different guns on him, with negligible amounts of ammo for each. Immersion: zero.

    It's amazing how a game which starts so similarly to say, RE3, fails to convey any basic feature which made such an old game fun. You can't feel alone (you're not), you can't feel lost (press the Q key), you can't feel in danger ("Continue?" As if it were Tekken), you don't feel scared. I'll never even try a RE game again after this.

    Sure this isn't Resident Evil anymore, however as much as i dislike some of the changes this franchise had, i still enjoy it a lot and i think this is a big improvement over Resident Evil 5.
    Having played the console version before, i can easily assume that the PC version is easily the best looking version and its perfectly ported. There are things that could have been improved, but

    I've had a bit of problem getting familiar with the cameras and the gameplay but after a while you'll get along with it.
    The storyline is quite good and i like how you play it with 4 different characters from different points of views.
    The MP is also great, a lot of gamemodes but Mercenaries is so much fun.
    Also the game has Split-Screen in coop and the other game modes to play with your friends.

    I gotta say i'm an old school Resident Evil fan, but i liked this game so far, regardless of how much it has changed.

    I loved Resident Evil 5, and in a way this game is inferior to that in so many ways. Let me start off by talking about the hideous amounts of bugs, crashes, and just bad programming.

From the constant frame rate drops, to AMD video card crashes, to the fact you can't mute the voice chat in co-op games (there is a function but it doesn't work), and there is no push to talk button.

    The game itself is not a linear game, and in this case I use that term in a bad way. The characters have 5-6 campaign chapters, and really only of them provides any sense of terror. The others seem to be explosion after explosion. What I liked about Resident Evil 5, was there was a storyline, and a mystery. I don't get that with this game at all. Overall, bad programming, a bad port of a generally flawed game. Very disappointed!

    Gameplay is really fun, but very frustrating at times. You will die A LOT. The camera angles are simply awful at times, and aiming is super cumbersome, even though you're using a mouse. If an enemy is close to you, you're better off unloading a whole magazine then trying to aim for the head, because 9/10 times you will just completely miss even though the crosshair is right on the head.Gameplay is really fun, but very frustrating at times.

Graphics are pretty mediocre, as can be expected from DX9 technology, but the game runs rather poorly on my AMD 1090t and 4gb 2000mhz ram and a 6970 2gb GPU. It bogs down and stutters randomly. Oh and there's plenty of screen tearing too if you disable vsync, which with it enabled, induces input lag. Not a bad game. I just hope they start patching the bugs soon. Expand

If we consider the last trilogy, Resident Evil from 4 to 6 this is easily the best of them all, the culmination of the action Capcom offers.

You can do all sort of new moves which are awesome, you can slide, dodge, land on your back and shoot from the ground (which can be done when enemies drop you too), you can fight in melee with combos or switching to a melee weapon. I really like the fluidity of the game and it's even more fun with a friend. The coop of this game is great, you are not helpless per sé, you can counter enemies' grapples, you can even "stand up" for yourself if you survive long enough in a down state, but, of course, it's a lot easier if there's a team mate helping you out but that may not be always possible due to tactics gone wrong or levels where you have to stay apart for some time.
    There is much to explore, some campaigns have more exploration than others, graphics are really good for my standards (which may be low since I don't really care) and it goes at 60 fps even if the benchmark told me it would go at 20-30. The campaigns are a great idea, different enemies, different characters, different playstyles and it's a hard game too! I play at Professional difficulty, invested 23 hours in the game right now and I'm something as halfway through (I'm doing chapter 3 with Chris now after doing 3 chapters with Jake and Leon). I really can't find anything wrong with this game, it gives me the challenge I seek, the adrenaline, the fear (the fear of dying but there are some jumps too), the gameplay is perfect as I see it, this was much more than I anticipated, I'll definitely play this multiple times. I'm giving it a 10 because as I said before, I can't find much wrong with it and I didn't have such fun with an action game for a while.

    Cons
    - not the best in the series, since it's mostly action oriented, less on the horror side
    - you'll need a controller to enjoy the gameplay experience

    Pros
    - it has 4 different campaigns and plenty of content altogether.
    - definitely did worth my 7E on steam
    - graphics are really nice

All four campaigns have their unique play styles: Leon's is relatively like a 'traditional' RE game, while Chris' is more like a proper third person shooter with lots of gun toting enemies.

    This game also features co op, and let me say it is amazing! You can play 3 out of the 4 campaigns cooperatively, with the exception of the smallest campaign as it follows a single characters and I suspect the developers didn't want to add a random faceless grunt in place of an actual character to stick co-op on this campaign.

    Overall, co-op with mates is extremely fun, and the controls feel very fluid, unlike the other RE's where you character does quite often feel like a tank. Graphically, the game looks very nice, even on low settings and the game is very dark and atmospheric. The set pieces and boss battles are nicely made with the exception of a few, and overall I only got bored a few times in the entire 30 hour campaign.

    To conclude, I would highly recommend getting Resident Evil 6, although perhaps not at its full price as there are other games of the genre that are better. If you and a friend are going to get it, I probably wouldn't pay more than $40-50.

    Si te gustó el estilo iniciado con RE:4, este juego puede gustarte.

    Vaya por delante que el primer juego que jugué de RE fue el Revelations (que me encantó), tras el cual, seguí con el RE:5 (me gustó tanto o más) así que fuí por este RE:6

    Creo que este juego puede analizarse desde distintos puntos de vista, y esto lo digo para justificar que este juego está bien, pero no mantiene el nivel del 5 (no conozco el 4 aunque hablan muy bien de él).

    La historia está realmente elaborada, pero de algún modo no atrapa tanto como el de los títulos que antes cité (que tienen un nivel de dramatísmo realmente digno de mención).

    Este también lo intenta, y lo logra aunque no tanto (nótese que esto es completamente subjetivo, para gustos los colores)

    El modo campaña, es muy largo, aunque está dividido en cuatro historias 'independientes' (aunque se cruzan entre sí). Esas cuatro historias, abarcan también cada una una manera más o menos diferenciada de estilo de videojuego de Resident Evil. Suspense, acción, escape o sigilo.

    Realmente todas tienen un poco de cada cual, pero se nota que han querido que cada historia predomine más un determinado estilo de juego.

    Sobre el sistema de juego, basicamente es como el del RE:5, aunque un poco retocado, sobretodo el tema del personaje secundario que va contigo, que hasta ahora podía prestarte items. Ahora no se puede. Personalmente me gusta más eso de poder compartir items.

    La cámara (es en tercera persona) va un poco loca, pero puede solventarse sin problemas graduando en opciones el grado de velocidad a una escala intermedia. Se aprecia igualmente el esfuerzo por dotar al personaje jugable de gran variedad de movimientos, desde poder moverte y apuntar al mismo tiempo, poder avanzar agachado, deslizarte, saltar corriendo, un sistema de cobertura mejorado sobre el RE:5..., además de un mayor grado de posible ordenes a tu compañero de viaje, hasta seis opciones (unas más útiles que otras).

    En cuanto a lo técnico visualmente es un pelín irregular. Hay muchíiiiiisimo material de película sea película en sí como generado por el motor gráfico que está muy, muy bien.

    Sin embargo, el nivel gráfico, a mi juicio no llega al nivel de RE:5, (RE:5 usaba diretx 10, mientras el RE:6 "solo" el 9) que era excelente en toda regla.

    Igual que en el RE:5 aquí también hay modo Mercenarios, y Mercenarios sin piedad, modo de juego que llega a ser 'asfixiante' de la cantidad de ordas enemigas que intentan acabar contigo.

    En definitiva, un buen juego, aunque no tan pulido como el anterior, se aprecia el esfuerzo por dar al jugador una auténtica película jugable.

    Recomendable.

    Perhaps it's still too experimental and difficult than the sixth entry in a series ought to be, but despite everything, RE6 offers top-tier cinematic action and series-high storytelling. For fans who've yet to try it, the PC version is the right choice.
