RE6, the logo where I can't unsee the giraffe getting a blowie.

If you tap the heal button multiple times in quick succession, you can take more than one heal at a time.

8:08 that is not true. Depending on how much life you are missing is the number of consecutive times you have to press the button, if you are missing three, press the button three consecutive times to heal all 3 squares, if you press it once it will only heal you one. Would be better in just one go, but is okay because sometimes I just dont want to fully heal myself.

To this day this is one of my favorite coop games to play with my brother. Every few years we will get together and go thru our child hood classics of coop games. Halo 2 is another one.

RE6 was so much fun to play with one of my friends. It's nonsensical, stupid, has a story so bad that you can't help but laugh at it, and was one of the most fun coop experiences I've ever had lmao

I'll give RE6 one thing; it was fantastic to play with friends and it was so goofy, it was very fun. It's just crazy how much it tried to do in one title

8:10 actually, if you press the pill button rapidly, your character will swallow up to six pills at once to regain full health. This mechanic also applies when reviving your coop buddy

6 are still Leon's latest canon appearances.

I loved the zombie mode where you could dive into other people's games and mess them up.

The campagin of Chris was basically just Ada trolling him the entire time

From what I remember about the launch of this game, you could play this co-op and mix the campaigns. Basically one or two people could play Leon's campaign and the third player would be playing Ada's campaign as Ada, all connected together. Other campaigns had this feature as well. It's likely harder to have that mix these days as there are fewer players, but I remember it being pretty cool jumping into some randoms' Leon campaign co-op session as Ada and watch as they fought the awful bosses. I think there was one time an Ada player joined our Leon co-op session a few years after the game launched as well as they clearly didn't play like the AI Ada does.

There's a running section near the end of Chris' final boss where the two players have to both run and parkour around a cylindrical room while the platforms collapse beneath them. I played this co-op with a friend. We kept dying and it took is a while to realise what was wrong. Player 2's control orientation (the direction he would walk in when he pressed up, down, left, or right) was locked to Player 1's camera angle, which was constantly revolving as the player(s) made their way round the room. So if the players weren't exactly next to each other, with their cameras at exactly the same tilt, all the time, one of the players would just get nogged. He would suddenly find his directional controls became 90-degrees different from how they should be, and then the players would die. There's another section where Chris and Piers have to make a running jumping segment across boats on a river. We found that we had to stack drectly on top of each other, because both players had to make the jump at precisely the same moment. If one player was like a metre ahead, he'd press the QTE button, make the jump, and the second player would immediately "fail" the jump and die. Mercenaries Mode was quite well-balanced, and showed the potential of the RE6 combat system, which could have been good if it were ever allowed to shine. But almost all action sequences in the whole four campaigns would do something wrong. In some cases, you'd get to fight 3 enemies before an ambulance cutscened into teh area, and if you were standing in the wrong place, you'd just die immediately. In other fights, you'd get to kick two zombies but suddenly have to flatten yourself against a wall to avoid a speeding train, which would wipe out all the remaining enemies, unless you didn't flatten yourself, in which case it would kill you outright. In other fights, poison gas was coming up the stairs immediately after you, so you'd only be allowed to cheekily punch one zombie before you either cutscened yourself inside a room, or died. In other fights, you'd be cutscened into the fight and it would start with you facing 6 people who all started spraying machineguns right into your body, knocking you flat on your back on 1HP and forcing you to use healing. Almost every single moment of the game was hammered flat by actively bad decisions, camera theft, or broken controls. There was no ammo in the game, like anywhere. Where was the ammo??? And this is coming from someone who plays Re5 regularly, and only needs 1 bullet for each enemy. Why wouldn' RE6 on max difficulty even give you 1 bullet for each enemy? Instead all you could do was sprint and kick them, until you didn't have any HP because you got hit once, and then kick was disabled, and you still had no ammo so you couldn't do a single thing. Unbelievable!!

RE6 story in a nutshell, it's all happened because Simmons simping Ada so hard and got rejected.

37:00 Jake's hand to hand system is there from the start. Its really good and useful because if you hold the stance, you recover stamina rapidly to continue doing power hits. It also locks on to enemies and allows you to hit multiple enemies in a row. I loved using this mechanic and i ended up using more than my actual guns and just left that stuff for Sherri

8:10 you can eat a bunch of those herb tic tacs in a row by tapping the button a few times.

The biggest rollercoast of a game I have every played. It would go from good -> bad -> ok -> garbage -> great -> meh -> good, and around it went. I played it first by my self and it was horrible, then I played it co-op and there were still horrible parts but it also had entertaining parts, I think Leon in that store was the best part, but for co-op the best overall campaign was Chris and his massive arms.

Ah yes, the Michael Bay directed Resident Evil.

Can't you take 6 pills at the same time to fill up in an instance if you keep spamming the heal button?

I have the platinum. Pray for me.

Playing this game the question that always banged im my head was “when the hell did wesker found time to get a woman to laid?”

Important to note! The crossover sections used to be coop, back when it came out it was pretty fun, to match with people on different campaigns and having 4 players fucking around at the same time. Not sure if the function still exists, but, it was really fun. some of the extra content can be really fun, Like Agent Hunt, which lets you invade other player's campaigns as a Zombie (most of the available zombies) to kill them. Of course, only for specific short sections, but still generally a very unique function. There's basically a "Puyo Puyo" versus mercenary mode, where you stack up combos to send increasingly harder hordes of enemies at your adversary to see who will get more points, or die. There is a mode where you play as Ustanak against 4-5 other players. Very fun. and a Zombies vs Humans as well, with a VIP that the humans have to protect. I think there was also just a straight up Versus mode as well? I don't recall. But the game is jam packed with multiplayer content, which makes it for one of the most Multiplayer-interactive RE games to date. Though a bad RE game. its one of the most fun Multiplayer experiences around that time.

I always felt like RE6's mechanics needed to be in a different game entirely. If it was a John Woo action game, it would be incredible with all the different moves you can do

It wasn't mentioned here but there was also a half assed co op for Ada campaign, which adds an inferior Hunk look alike as the 2nd player who mostly just join in for the ride.

Mercenaries is still a lot of fun :)

I feel like the thumbnail was how Capcom executives felt after the RE 6 backlash.

9:55 I seriously did not remember Ada looking that strange in RE6. Wow

I don´t pardon you on this one old man. I think it´s an awesome game. The variety in characters and levels. The gameplay. The soundtrack. The graphics (i mean when this came out it looked really good for PS3 / 360) The bombastic scenes and setpieces. And it´s a hell of a fun together aswell.

That thumbnail is incredible

18:48 DEAR LORD 😂 this is how i tried to swim as a 6 yr old.

you can skip the credit sequence with Backspace key... they never show it on the screen, but it works

RE6 was my first foray into Resident Evil and it'll always have a special place in my heart because of it. It's utterly ridiculous and I love every moment of it.

I feel like I've always been the odd one out with this game. I happen to love the campaigns, but dislike the Mercenaries mode. The game is also MUCH more enjoyable if you turn off the HUD & turn laser sights on, instead of the crosshairs. You can still check your health, ammo, stamina with the tap of a button.

I love how much of a mess it is 😂 my absolute favourite part was the driving section with Chris… I couldn’t believe they actually put something like that in a game 😂😂 capcom are great man!

This game is a good buy now and was arguably back then when it was $60. You do get a lot of game: 4 campaigns, coop, multiplayer, and mercenaries mode.

For 27:49, funny thing is in PS1 Resident Evil 3 you did have an Attack helicopter boss fight in one of the paths you choose. Nikolai would pilot the heli and you had to bring it down, preferably with a Rocket Launcher.

If I had a nickel for every channel I'm subscribed to that uploaded a review of Resident Evil 6 today, I'd have 2 nickels. Which is not a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

i'm not really a gamer, so it's curious how so many games use the same fart sound effect for explosions

One mistake I noticed: You can refill health with the tablets faster by pressing the button more often in one go, the character shakes a bunch of tablets out and takes them all in one go.

Nah, this game rules. I love every second of it. Every second that I'm *in control* that is. If I could only change one thing about the game it would be just straight up deleting all of the cinematic hints that take you away from playing to show you a lever or a door or an enemy spawn. It's nearly constant. Second thing I would change is going back to the RE5 inventory system. 9 slots and storage between missions rather than everything all at once. Also, if you tap the heal but faster you'll take however many at once. Two quick presses is two pills, four quick presses is four pills etc.

I will fight the world if I have to on this one, RE6 is a ton of fun. It's a stupid over the top, roller coaster, with a very hoaky and nonsensical story. And I love it.

No matter how many times i come back to RE6 or how many minigun sections it has, i keep loving it. RE as a franchise is safely back on track, so the fact that it had basically an RE Avengers game with 8 playable characters trotting the globe across 4 overarching campaigns is just amazing to me. It's still insane, and i hope they'll bring Jake back.

Resident Evil 6 remake would be the instance where I would prefer they did something almost if not entirely brand new instead, if they do decide to remake it at some point.

I played the campaign missions in consecutive narrative order based on a play-order list I found online. I think patching the campaigns together like that makes the story more enjoyable and cohesive than it is when you just play straight through the separate campaigns. I loved this game when I played it for my first time a few years back. My gf played co-op with me and we used the list I mentioned. It was a great time and I really look forward to a remake.

the reason the beginning of leons campaign is like that is bc thats what was showed off to people letting people think it was survival horror again

You know Capcom is gonna remake this lovable mess. I wonder how...

I've said this many times: RE:6 NEEDS a remake more than anything!

You know what, I actually enjoyed playing through it with my wife...it was silly, but fun. Enjoyed 5s coop more though.

It’s really funny how both you and Js reviews made videos on Res 5&6 at the same time

I have played a RE game before. I played RE6 and it got me hooked into the series. So i don't think it's a bad game.

I know it's childish but at 42:36, I bust out laughing when Ada throws the bomb and it sounded like a fart.

I’m so glad I found this channel, I love your content 👌🏽 you’re an amazing presenter and the games you pick are really interesting! Keep throwing out hits like this and you’ll be at 1 million subs in no time brah 😬

I loved RE6. Its one of my favorite co-op games and the time I spent with it holds nothing but fond memories for me

I like how both you and J’s reviews are covering the same game 😂🔥💅🏾

When I played this game on the PS3 absolute Leons ago, after the part where you go into the crypts with Helena I just gave up using the guns and melee'd everything whenever I could. I got tired of how everything could tank hits from even the revolver. Jake and Ada made that really easy. Being stuck playing as Sherry, Helena, or god forbid Piers made it a slog. The hard part was keeping NPCs alive in the gun shop and the church while doing melee only challenge runs, otherwise it was just too easy. Resident Evil 6 is to me the most seventh gen of seventh gen games. Crazy bloom visuals with glitchy cloth and hair physics, quicktime events galore, turret sections, mandatory cover shooting, bloated campaign, callbacks to the beginning of the series...

I'll never get over the meme that the 6 logo looks like a woman blowing a giraffe

Dude, you and J’s Reviews channel released these videos an hour apart from each other… did I miss something where RE6 is back in the topic of discussion?? Funny coincidence

When I think of Resident Evil 6, a lot of the times I think, what if Michael Bay took over the games production one day. And viola, we get something like RE6.

It is a mess, but damn it i love this mess a lot. Combat is fun, story is so bad it’s good, we finally see Leon and Chris together albeit for just a moment, mercenaries is a blast, and Ada is hot as always. Many nostalgic memories playing mercs and predator with mates. I’m honestly left stumped how they could remake 6 without changing so much that it’s pretty much a different game altogether. If Capcom does decide to take on the task, i hope they take an extensive amount of time. Let em cook

I remember the end of Chris' campaign, the scene in the silo area running away my friend was dead tired when we're playing and he kept dying. I have Chris yelling "Pierce!" burned in my mind lmao

You and J's Reviews reviewing the same game. At the same time. Releasing an hour apart, what are the odds 🙏

RE5 is gonna be interesting to remake but RE6 will be very difficult too remake if they can.

I love the outro Gman. Never change it. It’s awesome.

I had fun on the x360 with this game

8:08 alone tells me you shouldn’t have even made a review if you ain’t gonna know the mechanics💀

The Virgin GmanLives VS The Chad RE6 enjoyer

I can't stop seeing the giraffe

Honestly, I really like RE6. Sure, it's very different from the rest of the series, but it's a good action game and it's so dumb, it's just fun to play through, especially with a friend.

Sherry and the all the nsfw mods made for the characters are the most memorable things about this game.

30 minutes after J Review’s video lol

This guy forgot that re3 ends with an attack helicopter boss fight.

I had a really scary weed dealer that forced me to play this once. So that's what it will always be associated with

Last year I played through all of it with a friend. The most enjoyable thing we found is the "shoulder tech", where chaging shoulder view resets the weapon's rate of fire, so chris's shotgun was pretty much fully automatic, as well as that chopper part taking 3 seconds with the full auto grenade launcher. Halfway on chris' campaign we were just done with it, but fully commited to the bit

Whats the song used in the sponsor read?

When I think about it, the reason why it has rich combat is because of how "arcade-y" this game is. This game is like the "beat'em up" of RE series

I remember Raycevick's take on this one "The best bad game" after playing co op with a friend, he's right lol game is dumb fun!

8:11 - You can actually press the heal button multiple times to pour out multiple pills in one go, thus healing a larger amount of your health. It's still a needlessly complex system, but it does at least cut down on the tedium a little.

the leaping at you makes so much sense though if you think of the zombies as going feral its like an animal pouncing on you

cant believe his movie reference for Ada destroying the cloning facility wasn't Alien: Resurrection. like bruh

RE6's Gun-Fu Gameplay is like when you bring a bunch of top tier ingredients to the kitchen but don't know how to mix them together into a five-star meal. Like the INDIVIDUAL elements & ideas are great but the end execution felt half-baked. So many improvements could be done with a remake.

I still think Re6 is pretty fun to play. I like they way the combat feels and I think it takes itself so seriously that it's funny

Funny, I found Leon's campaign to be the least painful because it felt the most tonally like a Resi game. Chris's just felt like a run-of-the-mill action shooting game, and Jake's was...pain. I don't even remember Ada's campaign. But Mercenaries? Easily the best Mercenaries mode in the series. They could chop that out and release a polished-up budget release of just that mode, and I'd play it.

Yes Gman! You thought about covering the Syphon Filter games? Would love to see that

There is a part in the Chris campaign where you have to save random nameless hostages and when you do there is a little cutscene of them thanking you and running away and it’s so out of place for a resident evil game that it feels more like some kinda weird 3rd person House of the Dead.

This is the funniest of the whole series. I just have some awesome memories with my friends laughing our asses off when we mess up the QTE

Me and my mate couldn't even be bothered to complete this one. And our bar was so low we could watch 3 Steven Seagal movies back-to-back. RE6 and Haze are the only 2 games we didn't complete.

This game took me nearly two years to beat I kept tapping out for months after each campaign only to come crawling back to it. I could not let this game defeat me

RE6 is insanely fun af, It does have a bit of a skill ceiling and you need to adapt to just having dumb fun it's better if you have a coop buddy who's down for fun to and has tolerance for fast n inconsistent action gameplay It's all about the Gun-Fu-Fighting and fun coop experience through a cliche'd very dumb but very fun action movie like game.

This game is so bad it’s good in co op. It’s like the room in video game form

The one good thing about this game is that jack is voiced by Tory Baker

Let’s never forget that the whole plot to this game started because Simmons was simping too hard for Ada

i love this game tbh. it’s whack at times but fun regardless

The only issues I had with this game is that it is way to heavy on QTE's, other than that this is a perfect RE game

36:03 I shit you not right after he said this UKposts gave me an ad with snowmobiles. They have to be using words that were said in the video to target these ads lmao.

I remember being at the euro gamer expo in 2012 playing this before it launched and the rep for capcom could visibly see my disappointment.

Resident evil 6 gets too much hate I will die on that hill

As someone who's been a Resident Evil fan since 1996, it was insanely disheartening to see where the series was headed with RE6. Thank god we moved past those dark days.

1: you can spam heal as many people have said already 2: The skill system can be tedious at times, but your the one who said it's better to die most of the time than just healing. Then most of the time killing enemies a certain way gives you a better rank at the end. (The weird Green, silver and gold medals after completing a chapter) 3: does this guy not know you can crawl faster by spamming the sprint button? 4: Side note. healing restores the combat Gauge completely

I always love to see a new Gman video. Keep up the good work! 👍🏾

Having played through the game just recently (and for the first time ever), I respectfully disagree. RE 6 arguably has the best combat system of the entire series, and once one accepts that it's not a horror game, it shines as an action game. Given the sheer amount of content, the few lesser levels hardly matter, the story is fun in a silly, over-the-top way, and Mercenaries mode is roughly on par with RE5's. I also liked the characters, both recurring and new. Wouldn't mind if Capcom would go back to this type of cheesy RE, even if it's just for one new entry. Also, looks like you forgot to increase the FOV. The game plays approximately 260% better with maxed FOV.
