I haven't played Resident Evil 6, but I bet it's bad.

Nepsotic 09-25-2012 09:00 AM

Like I said, I enjoyed Leon's demo, I just don't like these new controls.

And now they've added 'Run 'n' Gun'! Are they INSANE?!

OANST 09-25-2012 09:07 AM

Yeah. Since when has the military trained people to move their bodies while firing a gun?

Varrok 09-25-2012 09:09 AM

Run 'n' Gun was a planned feature for RE5. I don't know why they scrapped this in development

Nepsotic 09-25-2012 09:22 AM

To make it harder. If you could move and shoot, the game would be piss easy, that's why they scrapped it.
Still though, it's Resident Evil tradition not to be able to move and shoot!
Also, OANST, Leon wasn't trained by the military :L

OANST 09-25-2012 09:23 AM

Also, OANST doesn't care.

STM 09-25-2012 09:30 AM

I've played Resident Evil 6 and it's marginally better than 5. That being said I'm a jaded bastard who hasn't enjoyed any of them since RE3. Okay, Zero was okay. Four was tolerable as well, but it wasn't a great game for those of us who were expecting the series to follow the suit of its predecessors.

Boo fucking hoo they made the series actually good.

Nepsotic 09-25-2012 09:39 AM

It was always good, but the peak was by far RE4.

STM 09-25-2012 09:47 AM

Meh, I just didn't like the story behind RE4. What does las plagas have to do with anything?

Wesker was sponsoring them Jesus Christ I think the story of Resi 4 is a piece of shit and even I knew that.

Resident Evil 4 is a huge pile of cliches. The ones through the main game are charming and work, the ones telling around the game and conecting it to the overarching plot (Krauser, Ada, Wesker) are overindulgent and do not.

Who plays games for the story alone?

I do?

Nepsotic 09-25-2012 09:55 AM

Alright, what games do you play, PURELY for the story?
*Mass Effect*

STM 09-25-2012 09:59 AM

Obviously you don't if you like RE4. It wasn't a great game. I'll take story over anything else any day.

All of these (Excluding one)

Broken Sword games

Monkey Island games

Sam & Max games

There have to be some other adventure games, but I can't think of any right now.

I literally cannot believe those words just came out of your... keyboard.

Seriously, I refuse to believe it.

uh

Just because I play (some) games purely for the story, even if that type of game is my favourite, doesn't mean I can't enjoy games for the gameplay.

Nepsotic 09-25-2012 10:13 AM

Visual novels, fair enough.
Actually, WoF if you like visual novels there's this one great one that you should play.

I'd play MGS games purely for story, but it's the only great thing there

Planescape Torment

But would you play a game of a genre you despise just to experience the story?

Nepsotic 09-25-2012 10:33 AM

Might I make a suggestion?
Movies

I... can't think of a game genre I despise?

The closest you get is probably realistic racing games. I don't think I'd play Gran Turismo if it had an award winning story.

OANST 09-25-2012 10:38 AM

That and realistic sports games for me.

You have broader taste than I, then.

Varrok 09-25-2012 10:40 AM

I used to dislike realistic flight and combat simulators. Then I got ARMA2. Now I love every genre

Well, in just about every genre I can think of at least a couple of games I like. I dislike racing games, but I like Micro Machines, Mario Kart and CTR. I dislike FPS's but I like Quake, Unreal, BLACK, Timesplitters and a few others etc.

I dislike flight simulators, but I like some Ace Combat games (Mainly because of the story. They're fun to play). Does that count?

STM 09-25-2012 10:43 AM

Madden 13 and the Curse of the Doomball.

MeechMunchie 09-25-2012 12:47 PM

EDIT: nvm

Varrok 09-25-2012 12:48 PM

Text adventures, then.

Mr. Bungle 09-25-2012 01:08 PM

I loved Resident Evil 4 & 5 (yes I loved 5, it was a fun game fuck you guys), so I'm not really worried about 6. Capcom usually pulls through in the gameplay department. Usually.

Daxter King 09-25-2012 06:49 PM

5 would have been tons better if they didn't force co op.

Mr. Bungle 09-25-2012 07:03 PM

This is true. I thought it had well-designed levels, though.. The gunplay was really fun, too.

Would've been a lot better if they had simply scrapped Sheva, though.

Nepsotic 09-25-2012 09:50 PM

I fucking hated that bitch.
"I'm not... Gonna make it!"
"I'm coming!
Hold on!
I'm coming!"

*dies

Yes, it was fun, though.

Mr. Bungle 09-25-2012 10:40 PM

The worst part was her AI when you wanted to play by yourself. God, she was a fucking retard. She'd be equipped with fully-loaded shotguns and pistols, and would drop everything when her grenade launcher ran out to grab more ammo for it. Dipshit.

I'm terrible at FPSes and they give me motion sickness, but I played Bioshock for the story (and the setting).

OANST 09-26-2012 06:29 AM

Nate's obsession with Ayn Rand wouldn't let him miss it. We all know Nate's motto: Fuck the poor! Only literally!

I'm pretty sure she wouldn't drop guns, but she'd use a fucking H&K Pistol on a boss even though she's equipped with a fucking Magnum.

She was an idiot, but the game is fun nonetheless.

Wings of Fire 09-26-2012 08:18 AM

I'm still the only person in the world who liked Ashley, right?

Crashpunk 09-26-2012 08:25 AM

I thought she was okay, but I hated how pathetic she was. She could of at least tried to fire a gun instead of hiding in a fucking bin. Leon could of taught her how to use a gun or something.
