The playthrough of Phantasmagoria is my favorite feature on the site so I'd love for you'll to check out the second game to see how it compares. Think it would be pretty fun!(for the viewers at least)

@Liquidus: I have played many and my (casual)love for Vanquish is part of why I love RE6 so much. The similar sliding mechanics combined with the melee system just make for a blast and one I honestly prefer to Vanquish. Comparing two great things though! If Vanquish had been a bit more substantial than it would probably surpass in it my mind. Just feel that by the time I got everything down the game was over. Still need to go back and do the last few challenges though and replay soon.

@Sackmanjones: Indeed, Capcom not including a manual is the stupidest thing they've done in a long time. And that's as someone who thinks this is the best game I've played this year and one that has the best combat system and controls of any TPS I've played. I spent a ton of time in the demo learning the intricacies of the slide move, rolls, roll cancels, 180 quick turn slide(yes the game has one) etc but the problem is the game never tells you any of this. At any point. Resident Evil 6 easily has the most complex control scheme of any 3rd person shooter I've played yet they don't explain anything in depth. As someone who suffered though the Monday video as Brad played it like Gears (and the insane comment about playing 12 hours before finding out there's a roll) I really realized what a horrible mistake Capcom had made. So many people have no idea these systems exist and It's just bizarre. Especially so considering sections of the game, such as the laser statue room in Leon's chapter, rely on using the slide and rolls.

Obviously opinions about the more action oriented path the series has taken is another matter. Will say Leon's Campaign has had some of the most tension I've experienced in a while. Love that professional mode is unlocked from the start, really have to watch your six at all times as one hit can take 2-3 bars off. Could go on about why I love the game but the lack of instruction was the reason for the response.

@Fawkes: You're supposed to use both sticks, playing on professional and I've yet to fail a single one.

I haven't been able to connect to the servers from the Vita since last night, bit annoying since I want to transfer my progress over with the cloud sync.

And likewise, definitely worth the purchase and I imagine this will be resolved soon.
