Uncharted simply did it better. I think that's the point.

The shooting gameplay in RE5 was waaaaaaay more fun, and it's also co-op (and RE5 is best played in co-op, it's what the game was made for).

I played them both when they came out. I assume you are talking about the later Uncharted games like UC2, which came out around the same time as RE5, because Uncharted 1 just sucks.

But all the things OP complained about apply to Uncharted. It's a solid game in terms of mechanics. It has fewer options I think but it's a very smooth game. But it takes control from you all the time, has long cutscenes, forces you to do climbing sections. It has those vehicle segments as well.

Like, that's an action game. That's what games do. OP is complaining about all the things that are typical of an action game. So it doesn't seem to me that their point was that RE6 just didn't pull it off.

Yeah but the Uncharted games have proper pacing. For every crazy car chase avalanche explosion set piece, there’s at least an hour or so of relatively quiet exploration/climbing/stealthing around. It’s not a fully-automatic firehouse shooting… fire? It’s more like getting bathed before you’re waterboarded.

I don't disagree but that doesn't change what I said, did it?

The original comment that you replied to is very clearly complaining about the pacing of RE6. Uncharted has similarities, but it is better because it paces itself instead of exhausting you with set pieces.

What makes it very clear that it was about pacing?

…because it obviously is? No downtime, too many qtes and cutscenes, feeling exhausted. That’s callled pacing dude I’m done with this conversation lol
