Baiohazâdo 6 (2012)
Resident Evil 6 is a great game, although not quite as much survival horror anymore
(Originally written on the comment section of the website: angryjoeshow.com)
Notie: this is a feel-based review/comments on the game, I am not a professional reviewer, bear that in mind.
Resident Evil 6 is very good (No troll) as a co-op and I love good co-op games. We buy the same co-op games with my cousin and have a helluva time playing when they work and in Resident Evil 6 the co-op works well and it's easy to join another player's game. I've played these Resident Evil games on Playstation 1, 2 & 3: Resident Evil 1-6, Code Veronica X. The Umbrella Chronicles, The Darkside Chronicles. I enjoyed the horror in the first games and I've enjoyed the combined suspension and action in the new ones since I've already seen enough times the characters in a closed environment (mansion, etc.) and "enjoy" the fact that the virus has spread across the globe, which would be logical for a virus to do if not contained properly or if purposefully released again. I wouldn't like it as much anymore if it was just the zombies against the characters in Resident Evil, the cool thing In Resident Evil games are the different mutations and Bio-organic weapons the Umbrella Corporation, etc. have created or unpurposefully made possible to mutate since it raises the threat level of the game and overall challenge.
I also think that it was a good idea to make 4 different campaigns so that different kind of fans could play the game through the way they liked it more. Leon (suspension), Jake (suspension), Chris (action), Ada (action).
I would hate if Capcom made fewer choices of campaigns, this variety was the best choice in my opinion. If someone does not like action-style, he can skip the Chris campaign since the story works without it if you play Leon campaign.
It was fun to feel like you were playing RE3 again when you were hiding away from Ustanak, like you tried to stay away from Nemesis. Or how you were in the campus with Leon and Helena and discovered the first new zombies and realized the virus had been unleashed again, I felt the same way in the elevator as I felt when the first Zombie in RE1 saw me and started to chase me. I believe the game also need the "Chris" action campaign since it is only logical that if a virus spread wide that some sort of army wold involved in trying to stop the monsters. And how would it possible that the tens if not the hundreds of thousands (not to mention millions) of zombies would go to some mansions and wait for people to kill them there. The mansion idea works if there are only few zombies here and there but it's stupid to limit the game into a mansion especially since we've already seen that and the game world has grown and the story has evolved so that the zombies and the other monsters (Las Plagas, etc. ) are now a greater threat.
Don't hate that the games have tried to evolve and be different, you still have the old Resident Evil games if you want the old Mansion survival horror or 2 dimensional stop to shoot gaming. I can say that if Capcom had kept every Resident Evil game in a mansion or the game play the same, people would be complaining that there is nothing new and that the games are just repeating themselves. Things have to change for games to stay fresh, OK or otherwise the companies will have to do re-makes all the time like they seem to be doing in superhero movies.
I would hate for the co-op to go away since this is one of the few games which has a great co-op (Saints Row series is another good one). I want games which can be enjoyed with my friends. This is a great genre to play co-op as well. Of course it would be better it companies would be able to make games both co-op and single player without ruining either experiences like this one, Skyrim (Would love to co-op), etc.
Thank you for reading and I seriously hope someone agrees. I remember Angry Joe saying he tries to see the good in the game and idea they are going for but it seems in some games he might be "blinded" by "nostalgia" of the old games like in this case the good old Resident Evil games, try to see the goodness in the new ones as well if you can. As I said, opinions change only if a person wants to so I don't know if my words had any meaning but I had to say something.
I'm just amazed how this game can get so low ratings when there are real crap games that actually legitimately deserve a bad rating like Mind Jack (hilarious review from Angry Joe btw :D ). It just feels wrong to give the new Resident Evil games less than a 7 simply because they are not new copies of the old ones.
Saints Row: The Third (2011)
Saints Row The Third is a very good game. Storywise it's definitely not as well written as SR2 but otherwise I love it.
First: I love this game. I understand the story in Saints Row 2 was a lot better and well written and that the story in this is "simplistic" (Does that sound right?) but is not garbage, it's still entertaining but it depends on what you enjoy. I am one of those people that try to find something to like in a game and story and I used to watch WWE & TNA so the Luchadores gang was a fun idea, mostly because of the wrestling matches in the end which were "awesome", had tons of fun.
And I apologize if I jump from topic to topic, I'm just trying to get all my opinions said before I forget some.
The amount of vehicles in this game is awesome: cars, motorcycles, tanks, helicopters, planes and aircrafts, I had many of the best moments in games with my cousin when we played this game through in co-op, and yes, Saints row series is one of the coolest co-op games I and my cousin know since there are so many cool things to do like the wide amount of side quests from insurance fraud to mayhem, etc.
Main missions, I have to say I don't remember everything since it has been over a years since I've played the third, I just finished the fourth. As I said, the story is not so great as in the second, where it felt like it was well thought of and well written but the story is still entertaining. All the gangs: Luchadores, Deckers, The Syndicate, etc. are different in style as were the Saints Row 2 gangs but I would have liked them to have been more "deep" (you know what I mean?) but I liked them all and I really enjoyed beating that "bitch with a keyboard" up in that simulation which in itself was fun to play. Saints Row 3 had variety, different styles and ideas which were very enjoyable.
I just can't understand why people hate this game so much, sorry but I just can't. But I've learned that people have their own opinions and they cannot be usually changed unless they try to change them by themselves. But if some of you don't have a game to play as co-op at the moment, I suggest you give this game another try 'cause I really loved the co-op when we took it all the way by using tanks and fighter jets to blow the enemies and buildings apart, etc. and just had a good time.
And yes, the game has the dildo as a weapon but no one forces to use it, just forget it exists and play the game with normal weapons, etc.
I must have forgotten many things that I was supposed to say but I hope I got to say at least most of what I wanted.
I feel that just because a game has some crazy stuff like the dildo weapon of other optional things, you shouldn't let them ruin the experience 'cause in this game you can still customize the character to the style you see fit and actually like. I noticed that when I tried to create a totally joke character in Saints Row 2 which didn't in any way feel like me, I almost felt like not playing but when I took the customizations in there both games more seriously, I enjoyed a lot more and was able to focus,
If someone was able to read this through completely and understood and didn't totally disagree, maybe even agreed, I will be pleased: thank you.
Additional note: I'm not accustomed to reviewing so many of the reasons I like a game might not have been included in the comments. I do feel this game deserves at least 7,5/10 if not even 8/10, I'd have to play again to be sure since it has been over a year. I might give Saints Row 2 a 9/10.
Yes: Saints Row 2 is 9/10 and Saints Row 3 is 7,5/10. If Saints Row the Third had had a better story it would have gotten 9/10.
