@Sackmanjones: I've played chapter 1 of all and Jake's is better than Chris's minus the absolutely terrible boss, that was so much of a god damn chore.. I'm gonna try marathon the rest of the game tonight/ tomorrow, public holiday for the win

I went through Jake's first chapter before I went to bed and I have to agree. Frankly from what I've played all of the boss battles have been rather crappy and it's one of the game's most notable flaws.

His stuff gets worse.. In chapter 2 the entire back end is a sneaking part with a failstate one-hit-kill and in chapter 3 in lieu of a boss how about a tank.. Each of his chaptrers so far are half decent/ half terrible.. in Chp 1 I didn't mind the first encounter or the Giant B.O.W's those were interesting and kinda fun.. Gotta wonder what they were doing in the design of this game, RE5 took the wrong road from RE4 but still a fun game and this one not as much

Wow. Instant fail-state stealth and underwater segments (by which I mean during Leon's campaign)... When you also consider the amount of QTE's that pollute the game, and not to mention all of the conveniently placed red barrels everywhere, a large majority of RE6's design is looking outright dated.

All it needs now is some first-person platforming ;P

@Yummylee: Underwater? really.. The QTE are really starting to get to me.. Also did I mention the snow mobile segment (at which I died 3 times because I was either to far right/ left or turned to late) which is lead up to by a really cool open area segment and then a defend this spot bit.. There is some really cool things in this game like the stuff I saw in Leon's segment, the reintroduction of zombies and the possibility of slow atmospheric horror then there's so many things that make me want to turn it off and play something else (specifically fighting so many enemies with guns, it's just not fun at all).. They really need to either rest this game for a bit or really go back to the drawing boards and RE4 style re-invent the genre

All it needs now is some first-person platforming ;P

Nice!

@Genkkaku: I just got through that very chapter, and yeah the more open nature of the first half of the chapter was OK. Trying to get around was a hassle, though, especially when it came time to head to the cabin. But that stealth segment really is just downright laughably bad and rudimentary. I also think it's pretty stupid how as Jake when you need to gain Ustanak's attention while Sherry goes to collect the key card, it has to be with a remote explosive... first time I used a flashbang and that apparently gave away Sherry' position >_>'

@Yummylee: Lets hope you use a crank on the next boss.

@cannonballBAM: Ah, you mean because I prefer the older games. Well erm, Boom? Naaah... not quite.

@Yummylee are you doing veteran difficulty with jakes campaign ?

Going to wait for reviews for this game, didn't like the demo.

Hows the puzzles? ...................

@Yummylee: haha. At least you bought it. Good job.

That's a bummer about the boss fights =/. I've never been a boss fight guy anyway but I will push through it.

Also maybe it's because your playing on a harder difficulty that the bosses are givin you more trouble!

Word on the street is Chris's first 2 chapters are the worst in the game and from there it turns up. Lets hope this is true!! 
 
I've had a blast reading about this game though, it is insane how crazy the game is what what people think of it. Give Capcom credit, it certainly does sound like they created 3 full separate games under one roof (not even counting Ada!)

i saw a guy beat that boss in jakes campaign hand to hand 0_o

Yep, it seems to be an extremely divisive game and judging from the demo, it definitely has its rough edges. However, it sounds like they created a game that is fairly different from both RE4 and RE5 which is something I already give them credit for.

Is there single console campaign coop in there? You'd almost expect it but with the weapon upgrading gone I don't know.

@Yummylee said:

Wait, what?? Apparently you can just play the game with infinite ammo right from the outset @_@ Still, there's an appreciative amount of customisation when it comes to the lobby. You can of course set it to open, private ect. but there's also a playstyle setting, where you can decide whether you're playing just for the story, for points, for ''serious players'', for collecting emblems and so forth. So speaking for teaming with randoms, which lol no anyway, that's kinda neat.

That Agent Hunt thing is also an additional setting as well, which... huh, well OK then. Just really surprised that they hand you these options right at the beginning of your progress.

Wait wut? Explain.

@jimmyfenix said:

Veteran, ya. Still been sorta easy thus far, though.

@Demoskinos said:

@Yummylee So, you think worth trading in Sleepy Dogs and Darksiders 2 to give this a try?

Errrr... well just by own my principle, no I wouldn't trade those games in Whether or not you should get RE6, though? I dunno, it's not a game I'd recommend for full price. The majority of Leon's campaign is puurrty gooood. But even that has a lot of issues like the ones I've already mentioned (crappy boss battles, zombies that you can't shoot until they inevitably 'wake up' ect.) And Chris' and Jake's... they're still kinda meh from what I've played thus far.

@cannonballBAM said:

What do you mean ''at least I bought it''? Do you actually work at CAPCOM or something.

No, they're just bad boss battles. There's very little feedback when you're shooting them (Ustanak in particular) and they usually go on for far too long. The ending boss battles in Leon's campaigns go on for fucking forever. There hasn't been a single one thus far that's been much of any fun.

You mean splitscreen? Yeah, it's in here. Though it's just like RE5's terrible split-screen AKA this:

That was my mistake. It does actually give you the option right there to ''allow/disallow infinite ammo'' but it's, initially, only a setting for when you're playing online with other players who have unlocked it. It isn't unlocked from the start.

Has there been any funny stupid stuff in Chris's campaign (ie. him fighting a rock)?

Played the demo

MIND BLOWN

Especially after running a second pas of RE5 last week. Wow. Small changes to the controls but that make all the difference!

The game also seems way better solo than RE5 solo was!

The big baddie of Leon's campaign goes through a variety of transformations, so you eventually go against shit what looks like a giant fleshy tyrannosaurus and a beetle EDIT: actually I suppose it's more of a giant fly. As I said, the battles themselves are rubbish, but... preeeettty craaaaaazzzzzyyy, right?.. I haven't touched much of Chris' campaign yet, and Jake's I'm up to the third chapter. Nothing completely ridiculous so far, though I am currently trying to avoid a tank inside some large Chinese complex.

This chapter's actually been OK so far, but I feel like I'm always being compliant when I I'm looking for something to compliment. It's like ''this game's overall not especially great, but hey this part isn't so bad!''. Jake himself is a likeable character at least, courtesy of another fine performance by Troy Baker. The similarities to Dante are definitely very apparent, though. Lot of silly one liners being thrown around everywhere.

@Demoskinos said:

@Yummylee Well keep in mind I've S-Ranked both of them. Nothing left to do.

...You might as well get it; chances are you'll enjoy it a lot more than I have.

Just gone done with that bike chase they've shown in some of the trailers... it was pretty mediocre.

@Sackmanjones said:

And without spoiling too much does the whole "Son of Wesker" thing play into the story much?

They've talked about it here and there, as has Sherry and the downfall of her own dad.

Gametrailers gave re 6 8.8 but took the video review down cause of the embargo. Brad will probably give it 3 stars and kevin van ord will probably give it a 7 . I just dont see this game getting a 4.5

@Sackmanjones: You mostly fight J'avo's with Jake but the way they transform level to level is really cool

@Yummylee: The bike chase was the worst and the level starts to turn up from there so I'm hoping the end of that chapter and 5 are good.. I guess I'll see

@Genkkaku: Just completed Jake's campaign, and fortunately it does pick up as it goes on. Both the end boss battle and the ending itself are better than Leon's at that, and somewhat more satisfying. I'm still extremely disappointed with Jake's story, though, and Jake's campaign still pales in comparison to Leon's overall.

Keep looking through that gaf thread and man, something happens on the back half of Chris's campaign that must be amazing. Can't count all the comments that look like this, " Just finished Chris's campaign and hooollly shit!". Very excited for Tuesday!

@OneKillWonder_: Around 5-6 hours each I'd say, least that's roughly how long Leon's and Jake's were and I have to imagine Chris' is about the same; Ada's may be a little shorter? Either way... there's a lot of stuff here.

I think I need to see this train wreck firsthand. Hopefully Gamestop still has that trade bonus towards RE6.

@Demoskinos , its not a train wreck its just like re 5 some people will like and some people wont . It has its problems but it has its high points aswell

The demo was horrible and wonky, made me wish I couldn't move and shoot again. Plus the look of it was shit.

@Yummylee: Yeah just finished then, that last QTE was not great but I liked the campaign as a whole.. and yeah that whole missing bit, I assume must be filled in with Ada maybe, if not thats a huge hole and bad story telling..

@Yummylee: Yup.

There 2 pretty good user reviews on youtube for people to check out. Will see if I can find em and post em here.

I started on Chris's campaign and it is kind of painful in the beginning. It is really hard to see stuff with the terrible camera, narrow environments and everything being so dark. It does pick up after the first chapter with some cool events and some open environments so it is getting better.

@AcidBrandon18: I've found most of the game's a little to dark so I upped the in-game brightness early one

3,000th post!  
 
Now I can never post again

Alritey, just about to start Chris' Chapter 4. Much like Jake's, it has the odd moment, but otherwise it's mostly hit and miss. The invisible snake boss battle was pretty good, as was the ending during Chapter 2 in Edonia. But then there's shit like the helicopter boss battles which are horrendous, and Chris' also just happens to have another lame vehicle set-piece. I spose I actually prefer this to Jake's, though, if only because I do like my Redfields. And Piers isn't so bad, either.

At this point, however, this is actually starting to feel like work... I'm continuing on through the game because I feel that I have to, not because I'm excited to play more.

EDIT: Oh Christ, I've got to fly a fucking Jet now?!

EDIT2: OK, well, that's Chris' down. The ending segments were certainly... surprising. The end boss itself was so so; not the worst, but like all of the game's bosses it wasn't anything special.

Glad i cancelled my pre-order.

Ive gotten half way thru Leons second chapter and got a few impressions so far. First of all it feels very hectic! I played thru RE 4 last year and RE 5 for the 7th time earlier this year so they are kinda fresh in mind. And i cant seem to recall either of them being like this, not right out the gate anyway. Im having a hard time keeping controll of all the mobs at the same time. But i guess that just is something you have to get used to.

You can dodge roll now but i never seem to remember that when the beasties lunge for me. And lunge they do, frequently. It just seems like they move just a tad to fast for my skill level so i tend to have to do some quick time event to get them off me again and again.

I got a little upset when i understood that you werent gonna get to buy and upgrade guns. But the skill system seems like it can work nicely. Ive gotten my quick reload skill bought and that helps me a lot.

But i DO enjoy it, immensely (when im not dying). The first chapter of Leons campaign built some great atmosphere for me and i loved how it all just goes to hell really fast.

It will take me ages to go thru this game though since im currently waist deep in Borderlands 2. But it will be a game i will play over and over im sure.
