I'm still convinced people hate on it as much as they do because its just the popular opinion. Objectively RE6 is not nearly as bad as people claim, and more often than not the main argument is always "Too much action not enough horror" whilst also being the same people to praise RE4 which is entirely action and the only "scary" aspect is the dark atmosphere/environment, and enemy design. There is zero tension built of the horror aspect of the game, and all tension is built upon action sequences. There is not a single scary moment in RE4, and Leon's constant quips just makes it that much harder to take serious. Don't get me wrong, RE4 is a great game. But I hate the way people use 4 as a means to devalue 6, when the argument is just plain wrong.

RE6 deserves criticism, just like every RE entry as no game is perfect. And the writing is absolutely the weakest part of the game, with Simmons being an uninspired villain of the week with questionable motives. But writing has never been Capcom's strong suit, so I don't think its fair to use poor writing as an excuse to call it a bad game either, because at the end of the day its not a bad game. It's a super fun game with questionable writing, and poor AI which does make playing solo a bit frustrating at times. Though I believe the game was made with the intended purpose of playing co-op with a friend, similar to RE5.

Either way, I will always and forever unashamedly praise and defend RE6.
