Every other core series Resident Evil game I've ran out and purchased day one. I was never disappointed. That includes RE5.

But the reception on RE6 is absolutely baffling me. Many people, both fans and critics, say it's absolutely terrible as a game and an entry in the RE series. Other people tell me it's awesome, better than RE4, and that if I liked 4 and 5 I won't be disappointed.

I've never seen a game where the reception ranged so drastically from great to terrible, and was polarized to such a degree.

I started a new playthrough of RE4 tonight for the first time in five or so years to prepare myself. RE4 remains, in my mind, the holy grail of the RE franchise, and the absolute, hands down, best game Capcom has ever developed besides the entire Megaman Battle Network series, so I'll use it as a comparison to RE6.
