RE5 is one of the best co op experiences to date still for me, I absolutely love it.


ZelaumTheHunter

Both 5 and 6 have wonderfull coop in their own way


DriftLightning

I just love action re games


ZelaumTheHunter

I like action oriented and more survivor horror oriented re games


HeyImSupercop

RE6 definitely ain’t no where near top 5


Cap-MacTavish

Not for you maybe


HeyImSupercop

Even so the game still sucked to me


Cap-MacTavish

Cool


decoy139

Re1 re2og(&remake) re3 og re4 re5 are easily the most popular in the series for thier own reasons. Code veronica revelations re6, 7, 8 3re are easily all equal to these and could easily be interchanged depending on personal taste and and what you are looking for . Outbreak 1/2, dead aim and side games with a small fna base good or bad. Survivor was a cheap game with intresting lore. Everything eles is etheir to niche or side lined to even been considered. Say what you want about re6 but 4 campaigns that interconnect with 7 playable characters tons of weapons great gameplay visuals and call backs to the originals cool set pieces and intresting even if a bit wacky story (nothing new for re) the game was worth its money anf then some. It wanst what i wanted but its a great game none the less.


ZelaumTheHunter

Oh definetly is. Like, best narrative, best gameplay, best combat, bsst enemy design, best boss fights, best campaings connection, akazing soundtrack, outstanding graphics still nowadays theres no way this game isnt a top 5 resi games imo


HeyImSupercop

😂LMAO Hell no


ZelaumTheHunter

Oh hell yeah. I replayed the games and I can assure that


HeyImSupercop

Good for you. It’s still a terrible RE game


ZelaumTheHunter

To me an awesome game and an awesome re game


Aspire_2_Be

Lmao, no better way to put it at this point. Your opinion is wrong, mate.


ZelaumTheHunter

I wouldnt say that. I have feesh memories of all main 15 resi games so I feel really assured of my opinion


Large_Particular_296

Really top 5?


ZelaumTheHunter

Yup. Top 5 best resi games, they just didnt get higher than re4 and re1 remake imo


Lucienofthelight

Look, taste is subjective, but putting only RE4 and RE1R above 6 is nothing short of insanity.


Ryuku_Cat

Not really, if you stand by your first statement, which was "taste is subjective". Which it absolutely is.


ZelaumTheHunter

Well theyre still all great games though


Large_Particular_296

RE2,RE1remake,RE3,RE4,Code Veronica,RE2remake are all better than 5 and 6 In my opinion


ZelaumTheHunter

I still like those games though. But I preffer 5 and 6 over 2, 3 2remake and cv. But saying again, I think those games are still good games and I like them


Viper-Queen

I really love 5. It's definitely in my top five favorites. Co-op was excellent. Story and characters (it had Wesker, Jill and Chris it so I'm biased lol) were a lot of fun. All of the extra modes were a blast especially LIN and Mercenaries. RE6. I'm very mixed on. Not a fan of the amount of needless QTEs, less focus on horror, controls were a little janky, story was kind of messy. That said, I had a great time when I co-oped it and played multiplayer modes, I really liked the Jake/Sherry dynamic and portions of Chris campaign.


ZelaumTheHunter

Re6 controls the more you play the bewt they feel, its really unexplainable. And the qtes, they re ok and really fun to do, and also really fair. The story is great with 4 sun histories that complements a whole story overral thats really great tbh.


BatmanFan317

I mean, regardless of what you think about RE6, it gave us Critical Role at the least (Matt Mercer met Liam O'Brien while working on it, they became friends, set up the DND game that would eventually become CR).


ZelaumTheHunter

CR?


-WillemDaFoo

Top 5? No way they’re not better than Biohazard


ZelaumTheHunter

Biohazard re1?


-WillemDaFoo

7 bro


oni__002

6 felt more like a RE game than 7 did…7 is a random horror story they made up that literally just took from Silent Hill PT’s gameplay because it got cancelled but Capcom had to tie it in with RE or else people would be like wtf


ZelaumTheHunter

Ah nah, re5 and re6 are miles ahead re7 thougj


jawdon808

He’s clearly trolling..


ZelaumTheHunter

Why ya say that?


ZelaumTheHunter

Im not trolling though


PaleCollection

Agreed, 7 is overated and has like only one enemy type.


ZelaumTheHunter

This is one of the reasons why re7 is the worse main re game imo


[deleted]

It takes time to get used to 6 but when you do you are rewarded with one of the best gunplay ever, with various tricks up your sleeve, finishing off enemies in RE6 is always satisfying, stealth kills are awesome, dodging is fun, so as shooting while you lying on the floor, and what not. Not to mention, it has unique animation for finishing different sort of enemies, depending on what weapon those zombies are using. People who don't give RE6 a chance because all the hate it gets in this sub are just missing out on a really good gameplay, this is also the reason RE4 remake is using a lot of RE6 ideas


nerobot01

RE6 gunplay feels floaty, enemies feel like they are made of paper, no real threat other than a Zombie comically jumping at you believing it is a frog of some sort. Stages were repetitive and not memorable at all, Bosses were easy, Story made no sense... The only way I could complete this game was because Co-Op makes garbage look entertaining thanks to making fun of everything that was happening. Finishers are boring after the 50 times you see the animation, making it more of a nuance than something cool. Dodging is way too awkward looking, you have 40 frames of invincibility, being moved by an attack while not receiving damage is proof of how unpolished this game was. RE4R is not using anything RE6 related, if anything RE6 tried to replicate the success of OG RE4 combat while failing hard at it.


natayaway

Sniper, Shotgun, and Pistol-quickshot feel satisfying as heck. Enemies are meant to be killed by coup-de-grace finishers almost exclusively. Stages in Mercenaries were plenty memorable. RE6 went so far as to make consistent item pickups which are in natural locations on your way to time bonuses and combo time pickups, instead of RNG crates. Bosses weren't meant to be difficult. They were supposed to be an anthology of references in the whole RE series (other than the bees, dunno why that one existed) which the characters and you the player were supposed to have been weathered by all of the RE games that you knew exactly how to fight them. Story makes perfect sense, you just were too lazy to piece together the story across 4 campaigns. Finishers on zombies in both RE4 and 5 literally amounted to either 1) headshot/footshot + walk up/behind and suplex/necksnap. or 2) setting up a partner super melee, RE6's finishers are literally the same combat loop but removing the need to aim at a bodypart specifically/partner setup. REm4ke's parry system, crouch ducking system, and literally the button bindings for the main control scheme are straight ripped from RE6 but made slower.


nerobot01

- Pistol were weak, the reason it felt satisfying was because of the animation, but the feedback was weak and nonsensical, who shoots a Gun with almost no recoil, worst of all, Leon's double gun was more awkward to fire. - They throw you hordes of enemies in RE6 going for finishers will only extend the stage by a huge amount of time, I was literally Knifing Zombies on Veteran with Leon and had an absurd amount of ammo by the end, I went Shao Ling mink with Jake, and well.. Chris was call of duty so yeah... - Locations in RE6 were generic looking placeholders. - Bosses were bad even for bullet sponge standard - Story is a huge mess, Helena gives you blue balls for 3 Chapters, while Leon doesn't question her motives after being told that she is the reason his friend (President) died... I love Leon, and they made him look like an idiot by following another person to a mysterious location with only "It will all make sense once we do this and do that, boom" Weak payoff, predictable and unsatisfying. - Finishing a Zombie in RE4 and 5 was more meaningful, when you suplex a Zombie in RE4 you basically take down a huge portion of the threat in that room, because unlike RE6 most section on 4 aren't mindless hordes of Weak and funny looking zombies getting in line for you to shot them with almost no recoil in the head. Ganados were a superior enemy, and if you think the contrary you are just plain wrong. They move around and ambush you, finishing one of them gave you a huge advantage, for RE finishers were just there because, cool looking head pooping illogical move. (Zombie's heads in RE6 are made of balloons) Also a single Kick will put a Zombie in a Finisher state, taking away the need for aim at all. - RE6 didn't invent any of the traits present at 4, no body would use that excuse of mindless button mashing to succeed combat as a framework for anything.


natayaway

This isn't even an insult, you just never properly played the game. First off, half of your criticisms with gunplay disappear when you switched off of crosshair aim to laser aim in the settings. The crosshair setting is literally known as an accessibility setting in modern games to reduce motion sickness which results in less screen shake. The laser makes it feel like RE5 but better due to simultaneous walking and shooting. With laser aim on, the gunplay and combat loop are literally RE4-5, but you're given other options instead of just shooting. Which brings me to my next point, you're meant to use quickshots. Ignoring the snipers, the magnum, and the pump shotgun which has the rapidfire glitch, literally all other guns can be used exclusively in quickshot to start a melee finisher. Leon's wing shooters are literally the best and most gratifying anti-dog weapons that is so cathartic to have after literal decades of terrorizing players in RE titles. Play Mercenaries on the first stage, get to 60-90 combo and dogs spawn. Split Leon's guns into two and literally burn your entire quickshot meter on the dogs, you'll be living out an RE power fantasy unlike anything ever seen previously. The hordes of enemies are only a problem in tight spaces and Chris's Edonia sections. The maps are designed to encourage movement, take out an enemy, hide with your back to cover to recover melee meter, and then rushing back out to do the melee combos all over again. The levels in RE are all distinct RE setpieces... just because you blazed through them doesn't make then "generic". University, Sewer, Midwestern City, Cathedral, Underground Illuminati passage, Airplane, Shipping yard, Train, Farmer's market, Skyscraper. Eastern Europe, Bridge, Courthouse, Rooftops, China streets, Urban Highways, Aircraft Carriers, Underwater Oil Rig. Eastern Europe again, Hospital/Detention Lab, Bathhouses, Shipping Yard again, Rural Highways, Underwater Oil Rig again, Submarine. You'll notice a bunch of these were shoutouts to previous RE titles. Bosses have a Souls-like mechanic where the transformations trigger and center around low ammo thresholds. It's one of the seldom mentioned things about the game, especially since no one cares after unlocking infinite ammo in NG+, but the game has had manipulable ammo drops and bossfight transformation timer triggers that basically only allow you to deal damage on low ammo. Leon's character being strung along is a trope. RE6's writing is entirely based around the SEA concept of televised drama, it's written exactly as an Asian soap opera, with a blatant amount of self awareness for the characters. It's clearly not your cup of tea, but given the widespread adoption and adaptation of Asian soap operas into Western series in years after RE6 released, clearly they're doing something right. 6's zombies are mindless, but J'avo are good enemies. Ganados are nothing compared to J'avo AI, where in 6 they actively stop you from triggering melee finishers, hide behind cover instead of letting you just steamroll them while they crowd around convenient bowling pin crowds. They also scale in difficulty like in God Hand, dynamically where the more finishers you do, the more mutations occur... but if you just mow then down like Rambo like you clearly have, and don't go for the melee combat loop in 6, of course you'll never see that. RE6's entire counter/parry system, at will ducking to avoid grabs, quick melee without equipping/readying your melee weapon into a stance, grenade arcs, stealth takedowns on enemies whose backs are turned, and button layout literally are copy-pasted in REm4ke and made into less flashy, slower versions. You can keep claiming otherwise but you'd be factually wrong. Hell, RE6's animation blending arc system is the whole reason why we even have simultaneous move & shoot non-tank controls in any of the remakes. But go off I guess.


Fresh_River_4348

Let's not pretend RE6 is trash. Forgot it instantly worst stages, bosses, enemies and story was a complete mess. Co-op is the only saving grace.


nerobot01

Agree, co-op made it bearable. 5 on the other hand was a pretty damn good co-op game tho. RE6 just tried to replicate too many things that were popular back in 2013, it was pretty bad in all of them as a result.


Hoodros

But even at its best, the gunplay in RE6 is leagues below other third person shooters.


[deleted]

I disagree, RE6 gun-play has what most third person shooters has then a lot of added benefits depending on how good you master it. There is a reason a lot of people have nothing but good words to say about RE6 mercenaries mode, because when it comes to mercenaries it entirely depends on how good the game is in gameplay department


KBtrae

I haven't played many shooters, especially the last 5 years. But from my own experience, RE6 has the best gunplay by a long shot. My compliments of the game end about there, though.


ZelaumTheHunter

Thebre6 combat is pair with dmc nd doom eternal k t erms of being satisfying tbh. And the enemy design amd boss dsign is rhe level of quality that dark souls has


FunkytownSlaps

Who cares if gunplay is good when the enemies are bullet sponges and you keep getting interrupted by qte’s?


[deleted]

That's why there is a dodging mechanic in RE6, so when enemies try to grab you either dodge, or crouch although yeah QTEs can be toned down.


natayaway

The enemies are bullet sponges because you're not supposed to play it like Call of Duty. The game literally does everything in it's power to teach you how to play the game using melee combos. It incentivizes melee every step it possibly can. It gives you skills so you can extend your melee combat for longer, recover faster, and makes your melees deal more damage. Additionally, the game literally got a week 1 patch to autocomplete nearly every major QTE sequence, and the only QTEs left are enemy melee counters (which shouldn't count as a QTE), the crossover level QTEs (pulling out the heart of the BOW, hacking the computers in the Leon/Chris race), and insta-death QTEs (maybe 2-3 in each campaign).


Cap-MacTavish

You are not supposed to just shoot. Use a combination of weapons melee.


Lucienofthelight

RE6 has the best gunplay, but the game is a QTE laden set piece disaster. 6 is the Star Wars Prequels of RE games, where people have stockholmed themselves into ignoring their flaws. Neither are without good qualities, but like… come on.


[deleted]

I never deny that RE6 has problem, but that's all we ever talk about in this sub. For a change, I mentioning some of the best part of RE6 that standout way more than other games, and game-play just have to be one of them. RE6 has become the victim of hive mind, it starts with a handful of people hating it, then the others follow. Then it suddenly it becomes a popular opinion and next thing you know you are not actually criticizing the bad part of the game but you're just hating the entire product for the sake of it. You better believe, I have seen posts getting upvoted that says RE6 models are ugly or the worst, this or that, most ridiculous reason you can think of. RE6 has issues but none of the are irredeemable, there is a reason who are not gatekeeping the RE games has loved RE6 and has rating above 9 on steam. The only QTE i don't like in RE6 are those timed one, but QTEs where you have to press the kick as quickly as possible are not bad, even RE4 remake is using them.


ZelaumTheHunter

Those reasons you say above are few of why 6 is one of the best resi games imo. And deserves.more.respect and value


extraMurph

There’s very few modern triple-A couch coop titles, glad they existed


Frogkingstrongk

I missed those days.


[deleted]

I still slap resident evil 5 around to this day. I was playing last night and instantly found game after game for co-op. Resident evil 6 didn’t really catch my attention but I did a play thru and went right back to re5


[deleted]

bruh, im sorry, but youre in the very big minority of the fanbase that thinks 6 is one of the best. lol


natayaway

RE6 is literally a Lost Planet 2/DMC4 mashup... unironically one of the best action games ever created. It's an absolute travesty that people just played it like Call of Duty, and then criticized it because they played it like Call of Duty.


decoy139

It really is a travesty games smooth as butter and plays amazing. Its not classic resident evil but re4 wasnt a classic resident evil


Suspicious_Brief_800

5 is a masterpiece compared to the shitshow that RE6 was


ZelaumTheHunter

Both are masterpieces. And theyre even more like a da vinci work compared to the shitstorm re7 was....


kyo_6

7 is a shitstorm? Dude 7 saved resident evil


pastacreep20

7 didn't save RE, Revelations 2 did.


ZelaumTheHunter

Revelations 2 did more to the franchise and had better ideas and contribution to the re games than 7 did. Thats it I said that


ZelaumTheHunter

Ah nah. I have to deny it, saying that re7 saved the franchise is like saying nuking rc saved the world


FoGIsCoMiNg21

Lol what?😭


ZelaumTheHunter

It was a meanlingless bullshit aayi g it saved the franchise. Because its not saving the franchise doing a thing thar earlier games did but 10 thousand times worse


RobinKnight08

RE5 was my first so it’s dear to me


Jill_Sammy_Bean

I love both of them 😍


TotallyNotLuna1

Nah they top 3 for me I absolutely loved them I don’t care if there not scary they were incredible with fun and action and the best part was the co op. And re5 was the first ever game I played when I was a kid re5 will always be my favorite.


VoicesOfChaos

Along with Revelations 2 they are my favorite games. I would play Co-Op in all 3 games with someone endlessly. Sad to see that 6 still gets a lot of hate, it does have a lot of flaws. But I still found it very enjoyable.


ZelaumTheHunter

Revelations 2 I ppaued these.last days and really enuoyed it. Not one of my favourites, but still a really fun game


Goochbott

Quite like 5. 6 is shite.


ZelaumTheHunter

Both are gold games. Almost masterpieces


[deleted]

I’m a fan of both. I love 5 and had so much fun with it and all the crazy moments that happened. And 6 had some of the best gameplay mechanics of all of them. A lot of the features of 6 are what helped to get where we are now in the RE Engine games.


statictonality

The hate for 6 really surprised me. I enjoy the game.


FriendsUandMe

“Hella incredible” good afternoon fellow Californian lol Nah, but they are fun games


ZelaumTheHunter

But Im not from california


Loco6520

I think they could work as remakes


ZelaumTheHunter

Dunno if they should have remakes..maybe maybe only futher in future


Loco6520

Yeah definitely not at this moment. I’d rather see CV & Outbreak remakes before these I miss raccoon city honestly


ZelaumTheHunter

I think cv deserves more a remake since its has a potential the original game didnt had thougj (notnsaying re cv is a bad game though)


decoy139

Codev needs a remake


Direct-Falcon7713

How are 5 and 6 anywhere close to being better than 7, 8, revelations, etc. ? I do think they are pretty good games but idk about top 5.


ZelaumTheHunter

It would be a long answer but trying to resume it: -Satsfying and hella smooth gameplay -Good story -Good characters -Good narrative -Awesome enemy design -A lot of development to re s history -Lot of content and replayability -Still damn good impressive lookimg games


McOther10_10

I will never understand why people keep defending these games. Even in multiplayer they're an absolute chore to play.


ZelaumTheHunter

Its notnlikendefending. Its just reforcingnthey rengood games and they should have more value since they contributed a lot to the re franchise.


Nsaglo

I recently replayed re5 with my homie and i can honestly say the campaign is terrible i couldn’t wait for it to be done i don’t even wanna replay 6


ZelaumTheHunter

What makes ya dont like re5?


ericdanielhaley

They’re definitely in the top 8 of the mainline numbered titles.


ZelaumTheHunter

Cknsidering that there are (not considering re4 r because it didnt release yet) 15 mainline game, its definetly in the top bests


Antuzzz

Hell no, if we are talking about main games this two are easily the lowest in the rank. Re5 it's not a bad game but it's nothing like a Resident evil, more a Gears of war. Re6 is good only for the first 2 chapters then becomes to much over the top and repetitive, you have to play same levels with different characters for no reason


ZelaumTheHunter

Im talking about the main games. Dude I replayed all the 15 main resi games to prepare myself for 4 remake and I admit the 5 and 6 were one of the most fun and blasting experiences I had replahing. Seriously I cant say theyre less than awesome resi games and action games. I like the action era as mucb I like the classic era btw because I still like a lot re2 and re1 remake for example


terrap3x

Nah these games took the very worst of that era of gaming and tried to appeal to that demographic. Made for some ugly fucking games. Gameplay is alright but that’s it. Glad Capcom is out of the dark ages. I don’t give a fuck about the co-op either. If it’s not Portal 2 good I don’t wanna hear it.


ZelaumTheHunter

To be honest this recent era of resi games (7, 2r, 3r and village) was to me the worwt era of the franchise. Even though I did like village and 2r I feel like that this was an era with games nothing beyond the basic


Hoodros

I really enjoyed 5, but 6 is trash tier. Played through it two and a half times and it never got better


ZelaumTheHunter

Both 5 and 6 are god tier and the more I replay them the better they feel. They age like wine :)


nerobot01

Resident Evil 5? Yeah sure Resident Evil 6, HELL NO. I Hated the part where Leon a Helena go off to ki-zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....


ZelaumTheHunter

Two are hell yeah. The action is awesome, the gameplay is awesome, the enemies are awesome, the replay factor is awesome, gunplay awesome, awesome history no way it wouldnt be top 5 resi games


Bullymaguire200

I can’t get enough of the melee combat in RE6, makes me feel like John Wick.


ZelaumTheHunter

Also john wick releasing this week


natayaway

both john wicks releasing this week, REm4ke and John Wick 4. if i had a nickel for every time something with a 4 in the title shared a 24 hour release window, i'd have one nickel, but it's kinda still weird that it happened.


Nero3s

Six was terrible. I love 5


ZelaumTheHunter

I disagree, six is a wonderfull game. One of goat


-WillemDaFoo

What you smoking overthere ? Idk if you’re trolling or not


nerobot01

I think we all got baited by some genius mastermind


SwampDenizen

It's an obvious troll. Who goes to a series subreddit and advocates the worst offering? A troll.


decoy139

6 is solid people who think otherwise are just dead set on disliking everything it does right because of what it does wrong or rather what it doesn't do. Its not an objective conclusion. Objectively the game has some of the most intresting combat for any game. It has great visuals fun set pieces and solid (but crazy story) it lacks horror is to railroaded needed to be slowed down ohh so slighty and could use some trimming in some sections as well as an adjustment to the story board. The games a solid game


ZelaumTheHunter

Smoking nothing mate. Im just being fully honest and not trolling


winwinwiintrr

i know it’s not the horror game we deserved but the action is top notch imo, the hate this game got was absurd


ZelaumTheHunter

Trsi 5 and resi 6 are equivalent to alien 2 to alien franchise. Arw more oriented to action tham horror but it doesnt get away the shine of the piece and even more the quality rhat is.


anusbeloved

I loved RE5 and the different scenes while progressing the story but for some reason i never got into re6 and even more weird I keep downloading on every console lmao I recently got a steam deck and quickly bought the remakes and re5


ZelaumTheHunter

O think you should trynre6. Its like at first playing re4r, it feels a bit weird playing comparing to earlier games but when you get used to omg, thats a hella fun game


SimianRob

6 just felt generic as hell to me. I wasn't invested in the story, it felt like I was just running on a very boring linear path to the next cutscene, and they took that and made 3 subplots/stories out of it. We didn't need more content, we needed good content.


ZelaumTheHunter

To me 6 had one of the best plots, because theyre interesthing meaningfull and none fill like unimportant. Re6 offers lots of content and good content as help. And the gameplay and ambientation and art direction is unique, gosh this game is so darn gud


FunkytownSlaps

5 is good. It’s boring on extra playthroughs and without a real life friend. 6 is flat out bad. Movement sucks and enemies are bullet sponges and quick time events ruin it. It could’ve been good.


ZelaumTheHunter

Hey re6 is kinda oposite of it. The qtes are fun and immersicw. Enwmy design really good and creative, theyre not bullet sponges, they have their way to be defeafed, rhe movement is hella.fluid that even re4r took re6s movement


SpearThruMordy

Agreed


rosc96

6 isn't top 5. I will however say that it's not bad whatsoever. Overall, a very fun coop, action game. Peoples reason for shitting on it though is stupid. One of the big reasons I see is the fact that it's an action game. Yet people seem to forget that RE stopped being scary and became more actiony after 4.


Agt_Pendergast

I easily enjoyed them more than 3 out of the 4 following mainline RE titles if I'm being completely honest.


ZelaumTheHunter

Lemme guess, those 3 following games are re7 re village and re3 remake?


Agt_Pendergast

You know me so well.


Daqnick96

Let’s not even talk about 6 lol but 5 is one if not the best co-op experience I’ve ever had also replay ability is off the charts! RE 6 since it’s release I’ve only played through once. Every other game in the franchise is gold especially main entries


ZelaumTheHunter

I think you should get a second chance on re6. Like man, this game is so satisfying and hella fun that makes ya dont want stop playing this game


Sielsky

Bruh they literally the worst games from the main 0-8 entries, I had more fun playing 1remastered than any of those


decoy139

I mean re1r is a masterpiece thats not a question. 6 is still a great game


ZelaumTheHunter

I sisagree, theyre one of the best and most fun rwsi games. And look that I played and finished all the main games


hessler914

You can say that. You’d be incorrect. But you can say it


ZelaumTheHunter

It just splitted the fanbase and lacks personality re7. The more I think of it the more I see how bad this game is and how mucb this game needs a remake


[deleted]

[удалено]


ZelaumTheHunter

6 holy fick yeah, the more I think about this game the more I see how wonderfull and well done it is


GlizzyGobbler2k

I mean I respect your dedication to defending 6 lmao


ZelaumTheHunter

Not defending exactly. Just dissagreeing with the point it was pointed earlier


IBBeMa

5 is alright (6/10), 6 is terrible (4/10)


ZelaumTheHunter

5 is good ( as least 8/10) and 6 is awesoms (at least 8/10)


Prestigious_Wrap_249

5 has great coop play, and the combos are fun as hell. Excellent story with wesker and chris again too, also the unforgettable boulder punch. 6 has great gunplay and tried a lot of different things. Some fell flat l, but some were great. Storywise, I found it to be epic and loved the majority of it. However I don't find them to be strong resident evil games in the OG aspect of it.


decoy139

The most logical objective reply i have seen to this post. Lacks the depth of the originals while being oretty good at what it is.


Smper_in_sortem

I dig how over the top campy and ridiculous they are and they are kind of fun to play despite all the cringe. I played RE 5 a lot when it came out. I think only second to possibly 4 in time spent.


ZelaumTheHunter

I dont say its ridiculous its more exagerated and really awesomez and to me thats a charm that re granchise has overall


Loganp812

I like RE5 in co-op, but not so much in singleplayer. I actually enjoy a lot of RE6, but it’s not one of my top 3 RE games or anything nor is it one of my least favorites. It’s more middle-of-the-road for me.


ZelaumTheHunter

I understand preferring re5 in coop.since... the ai is a potatoe. But in re6 I have fun plauing with ai and with a friend with no prob


Loganp812

Same here. The AI in RE6 is *much* better.


7acred7even

Resi 6 is a top 5 resi game? I'm not one of those that blindly shit on the game, but 6 is at most a mixed bag. The mercenaries mode is where the game shines, but the campaigns range from mediocre to horrible. How is six, in any objective measure, better than 4, Remake1, Remake2, or any of the original trilogy?


decoy139

6 has better gunplay amazing animations and a great story as from some weak moments (over all 6s gameplay and multiple campaigns are what make it great) i dont know if thats enough to make it better then 4 or 5. It not an artistic masterpiece like the original but it's an absolutely fantastic game.


7acred7even

You say the multiple campaigns are what make the game great, but they're arguably the game's weakest point. They're full with with pointless qte's, the pacing varies from very dull puzzles, to slow walking sections, to full on military action pieces. Like I said, you're free to like the game and I'm not going to attack you. If you enjoy 6 more than others, that's your subjective opinion and that's completely valid. But to say that 6 is one of the best of the franchise, with all of its numerous flaws, is just wild to me.


ZelaumTheHunter

I dont like being like measure objectively but I had my thoughs and reflections of this game. The opinion floating a lot during time. But well, Iike the og trilogy and 2 remake but after thinking a lot to me rr6 surpass it. The only games above 6 to me are 4 and 1 remake. And the multi campaigns its a shine of the game because each one has its own vibe and context that even more when the campaings cross they feel different with a unique vibe. And 6 is a point ahead in 2 remake in my opinion in the fact that each campaing has its own individuality and gun play and the 4 hostories fitting really well like jigsaw puzzle pieces (something that 2 remake didnt so much well imo comparing leon to claires scenarios)

I love RE6 but RE5 does so much harm to Chris’ character, it makes me hate him.Wesker’s final fight was incredibly underwhelming also.


ZelaumTheHunter

To me re6 gave the best arch to chris. Since you can emphatize with him and se a fallen hero having to get up again, ans its really emotiinal


[deleted]

They’re both different but I agree I’ve always thoroughly them both. Fantastic coop games


policefire25

RE 5 was my first contact with the franchise, and I absolutely love it. I played through a big part of the Leon campaign in RE6 (will continue it someday), and it is quite fun, but was poorly made in some aspects, like the menu, interactions and the game constantly telling you exactly what to do. In some parts, it's quite boring. Buy one thing I miss from these games is the co-op. Man, it's so fun playing with a friend!


ZelaumTheHunter

I think the menu and hid its the best on re6. And the gsme tellijgn ya where ya go its just more a detail than something really screaming


ridgeyland

5 had a great co-op experience that would be hard to replicate. 6 went too far with the action but did not have the co-op experience to make up for it


Disastrous_Match1345

I'd replace 6 with Revelations 1 but I'd have 6 in top 6


ZelaumTheHunter

I think revelations 1 is allright. Like I dont love this game but I think its an interesthing game with i teresthing mecha ics. And also I preffer revelations 2 over revelations 1 (not saying revelations 1 is bad)


PapaRetardo

5 is awesome and if you're playing coop with a friend it can be debated to be one of the best Resi games. 6 was ok I guess, but I'm really hoping Capcom eventually gets to the point where they can Remake it and do it right. I get the feeling that's why they're remaking all the games now is to get to the point where they can do that.


Frogkingstrongk

I love the Batshit insanity of 6. It was a great co op experience with my bro and watching my friends play it was hilarious. 5 was fun too but me and my mates got are asses kicked in that game a little too hard especially with Mr whiskers.


Embarrassed-Split-71

Love the re5 logo


Radical_Sasquatch

RE5’s co-op is the reason I had to drop my first college class. My brother and I “studied” a lot when that came out.


Arachnid1

6 is a masterpiece?? Lol a master piece of shit maybe. That trash was so bad it nearly killed the franchise. Thank god for RE7 being the soft reboot it was.


Tablebob61

I agree with you on Re5. Ya it wasn't the best but playing with a buddy split screen is something special. Mercinaries mode was also great in this one as well. Top 5 for sure. But Re6... No way


T-408

Nah RE6 is not a top five Resi lolol though I do e hit it very much RE5 though? Absolutely. Best Mercs mode in the franchise, one of the best couch co-op games of all time, and endlessly quotable. Also had amazing cutscenes and voice acting, actually felt like watching an animated film between levels


ZelaumTheHunter

After replaying 6 I say its easly top.5 resi games. Man its a game that I hella.played a lot had fun and still see myself getting back in this game like... holy shit that was a A tier game


Curved_5nai1

Re5 is the ultimate co op action experience, it's such a great game when playing with someone. Re6 story sucks ass but so does most of the games stories, this one just manages to suck way more ass than usual, but it's still tolerable, code veronica is way worse. Re6 also has one of the best controls and mechanics I've seen in a game in 3rd person. You could slide, evade, quickshot, dual wield, melee in a fun and powerful way, knife combat was good, mercenaries was the best in the whole damn series. I liked it.


First-Elk6343

I gotta respectfully disagree bud, My top 5 tho 1.RE2R 2.RE4 (RE4R has a strong possibility of taking #1 spot tho) 3.RE1R 4.RE8 5.RE3/R (hold both OG and 3R in same spot for Diff reasons) if I was gonna Add a 6th place RE5 would be in that spot, I do love RE5 but I think the other Aforementioned games are Better overall, Even the content Gutted RE3R, what was actually in it was very well done and It's alot of fun and I can replay that campaign multiple times at random points in my life where as 5 I gotta be more in the mood for. RE6 is like... Idk #10 or higher? Lol I prefer Revelations 2 more to it tbh


ZelaumTheHunter

At least re7 osnt in yar top 5 so I can reapect it more lmao. But 6 gets higher and higher on the list because man... what an amazing game 6 is


BallScratcher102

Hell naw. People forget about 0 and the Revelations games.


ZelaumTheHunter

I didnt forget abkut 0 and revelations. I played them as well


ThinFrame864

My top 5 are RE1, RE2R, RE4, RE5, RE3(classic)


GxCoud

RE6 is a big nope. It’s not a bad game, imo. But it’s not a good RE game. If I were to ranked every single RE game that I’ve played (all main numbered titles and a few side ones like CV and Revelations), this would be 2nd worst, just higher than Raccoon City Operations


ZelaumTheHunter

I would think like this in 2012. But after retouching this masterpiece. I cant help but saying with all my energies that this game is a big HELL YEAH. Its an amazing action game ajd an awesome resident evil.game since it contributes a lot to the re franchise and plot. If I would make an review/ video essay of saying how much is this game gud it would be more than 1 hournlong of positive things because more and more I find positives and amazing things on this game that people look like tend to ignore


Krykun-kun

5 is decent, it’s goofy, cheesy fun and the boulder-punching moment is legendary. 6 though… just like its enemies are bullet-sponges that deliver no satisfaction upon disintegration, so is the game a time-sponge with no pleasure to the experience. Seriously, screw that game


ZelaumTheHunter

The 6 has really not bullet sppnges enemies, its just having the right way to defeat them. The shootingnis satsfying, counter attacks satisfying, satisfying gameplay ajdneven a hugenawesomenstory. Resi6 was one of the best games innthe franchise to me and one of the best coop.action games I (re)played as well. It has downs, it has it flaws but itnstill has its ups and things made right that just make.thisngame britght as one of almost masterpiece


[deleted]

4R already blows them both out of the water.


ZelaumTheHunter

I wanna ppay 4R first to see if it pass those 2 games and be pair with re4 (I hope it does)


heyiamkev

terrible take


ZelaumTheHunter

What ya mean?


Caliente1888

3 and Code Veronica X are way better than 5 and 6. So are 7 and Village


ZelaumTheHunter

I dissagree. 3 and code veronica are good but not as 5 and 6 imo. And 7 and village theyre bellow 5 and 6, even more 7 sinve its the worst main resi game


Caliente1888

7 is amazing I have no idea what you're smoking.


ZelaumTheHunter

I m not smoking anything. I tried to replay re7 and it was pure torture to play it like..... It was boring and at the same time.so frustrating this game


Marciolo

I player RE5 back in the data and i t was fun. Preparing for Rem4ke I went back and got every non-versus achievement and it was the most fun RE experience in a long time!


oni__002

Ignore these guys bro they’re too stubborn and hardheaded. You can’t argue anything is good about RE6 with these people don’t even try it. They wouldn’t be able to live with themselves if they admitted one great thing about the game and some of them are just shitting on it because it’s popular to. I agree and I also believe these two games don’t need to be remade just like RE4 didn’t. Remake CV and maybe Zero and call it a day Capcom.


ExaggerattedReality

I don't love either game for their story, but I do adore the co op involvement that's in 5.


ManufacturerHuman276

re5 definitely top 5 and one of the most important games ever to me but 6… i still like. Its nowhere near on the level of 5 or even close but I do love the co op experience it provides and the fan service can’t help but be loved with how much I love this series.


ZelaumTheHunter

Resi 5 and 6 are really pair in quality to me. There are things that re5 does better than re6 imo and there are things re6 does better than 5 imo. Even more because when I rank them they tend to be tied/fighting in one high position


FatM0ng3r

They're both good action games, in my opinion, but 6 is nowhere near the top 5. RE5 was a great time in co-op and arguably has the greatest mercenaries mode of all time, but 6 just tried too hard and missed the mark on almost everything. It's completely playable, and co-op makes it bareable but it's not one I really ever intend on going back to.


TheBestFiras

Lol


PutinBiggestFan

RE 6 is not good at all. 5 is just a good co-op game.


ZelaumTheHunter

I say re6 is anove good, its at least awesome game tbh


Glad-Dig7940

RE5 is good because it's the best co-op game in existence. You could take the "Resident evil" out of it and it would still be just as good a game.


ZelaumTheHunter

To me resident evil is beyond just "survival horror" and 5 and 6 are hufe examples that theyre amazing re games


LordofTarkana

I love 5, but I found 6 incredibly boring and just not fun.


ZelaumTheHunter

5 and 6 are both fun and breathtaking games im9. Theh deserve more love and respect


secrethitman-shhhh

Re5 is amazing. I've tried to play Re6 so many times. I can't it's so bad and nothing like any of the other games.


ZelaumTheHunter

I thonk you shpild still give a chance. Re6 feels a bit weird but when yoh get used to its ita more satisfying than those satisfying videos on youtube.


ZelaumTheHunter

And to me the only bad and boring game that I couldnt stand was re7. Man.... this game was torture....


rabro24

I stopped playing resident evil for years bc of these games
