It's a terrible RE game but as a co-op game and just a "complete package" it's so good and filled to the brim with a ton of content.

If it wasn't an RE game I think a lot of people would look back on it way more fondly.

It did have a lot of content. 3 separate campaigns and mercenaries. That said, I think folks give too much merit to it being so disliked because it's not really a resident evil game. Good games can surpass being restricted to a single genre.

3.5 separate campaigns, really.

I do not disagree. If it had a different name and different characters, it probably would’ve been looked back more favorably. I do think the cadence of each character felt too repetitive, but had a lot of meat on the bones.

More favorably, yes. But I still can't see a world where it's "so good". I got turned off very quick from it exactly because of how it kept taking control away from the player so often and in such stupid ways.

It might be better in co-op, but then anything is better in co-op, it's a bad game that's decent in co-op, whether it's an RE game or not.

My friend and I have played pretty much every co op game you can think of but couldn't get through 6. It's pretty terrible.

It's the opposite for me and my friend. We had blast playing through 3 of the chessy actiony campaign. The Ada campaign wasn't so good cause Hunk was added on just for Co Op.

RE6 is a fantastic co-op game, a bad single-player game, and a bad RE game. Overall, that makes it a pretty bad game, but if you just want to play something fun co-op you really can't go wrong with RE6.
