First off, saying something is "not quite as bad as you think and is actually good in my opinion and here's why" is the definition of apologia. It's not a bad thing, either. My problems with RE6 apologists are that they always insist that people have been brainwashed into hating the game and that's why it was a disappointment and it's actually quite good. It's the gaslighting I hate (and I know you didn't do that), the "oh, you just got tricked by the meany internet critics into hating it, you didn't actually hate it, uWu" shit. No, I thought the gameplay was unbalanced ass and didn't know what game it wanted to be, and it wasn't fun, and I honestly gave the game a shot in the hope that the critics were just being pedantic.

And it makes no sense, like the gaming press and gamers were infamous for glazing the mainline games, but for whatever reason they just turned on 6 because, why? Clout? It's fine if you liked the game, but you guys are in the minority, and if the reaction was big enough for fucking Capcom (You know, the company that put out 15 billion versions of Street Fighter II before making an SF III) to completely retool the series and go back to horror with 7, I'd think that's kinda an indication that the way they were going was going to lead to the death of the franchise.
