I’ve recently played Resident Evil 6 for the 1st time after playing Resident Evil 4 (an absolute masterpiece) & Resident 5 (a pretty good game). I was already aware of the hate this game got over the years. But after experiencing it, it’s only bad in an artificial way. Like yeah, it’s nothing like the classic games and it’s too much in the action category.

Otherwise, as someone who loves action games, it’s a pretty fun game. Especially in Mercenaries Mode, where it’s fun to mow down body-horror themed enemies. As a Resident Evil game, it’s pretty bad. But…as an action third person shooter with splatter punks, it’s quite well executed

    The art is problematic in itself.

    • Goblin banker look like antisemitic caricatures.
    • house-elves want to be slaves because it’s their nature and Hermione is ridiculed for trying to free them
    • the Irish guy is called Seamus Finnigan and like to blow up stuff
    • the French girl is pretty and mean.
    • the Eastern European guy is quiet an angry
    • the red-haired family is poor and has a lot of children
    • the Asian girl is smart and called „Cho Chang“
    • …

    It’s just another iteration of the Heroes Journey in a nice (except for the racism) setting.

    Edit: read Alanna by Tamora Pierce. Much better.

      Don’t forget all the talk of blood purity and the state, media, education system, and prisons all being operated by the same tight-knit group of people for generations.

        Yes. That’s the point. It’s about Nazis, fascism, the KKK (pointy hats, helloooooo) etc. Which is why it’s so weird that she’s joined the people who she says were bad.

        That list above is bullshit. There’s no need to make anything up. Just stick to the truth. The woman’s behaviour is appalling.

      +1 for Alanna. My wife loved the books growing up so much that we named our first kid after the main character and I subsequently got a fairly big Alanna tattoo.

      Wow, cool. Hasn’t saw any problems in the art itself. Now see, thank you.

      Anyway almost all of that is Supporting roles at best. I know I will get minuses for this comment too.

      I still will watch it with my daughter, when she will apply to elementary school. And as others suggested, I will not pay money for that. Thank you, guys.

      I’d recommend just about all the Tortall books by Tamora Pierce (except Mastiff. Hate that book).
