Welcome back to “Backhanded Box Quotes”, a collection of measured, thoughtful, sometimes plagiarized criticism from the user reviews of Metacritic and elsewhere.
This week, well, what can we say. Resident Evil 6 released to a critical bloodbath. Metacritic counts 2688 negative consumer reviews — not all of them written — for this title, and it’s not just because people are upset about DLC or a bad ending. I’ll just step aside and let them take over, because holy shit, this is bad.
Resident Evil 6
Released: September 25
Critic: Karibito (Metacritic)
• “The reason It gets a 0 from me, is because it has the misleading title of a numbered RE sequel but the product i ended up playing was something like Gears of War meets CoD.”
Score: 0.
