10 Video Games That Put Fans In Denial
8. Resident Evil 6
If Resident Evil 5 saw the series take a distinct vacation from its survival horror roots, the sixth game finalised the divorce with a bloated, Michael Bay-inspired action extravaganza that couldn't have strayed much further from the franchise's chilly origins.
With four overbaked, interwoven campaigns, Resident Evil 6 was a tiresome monument to excess, a slog of near-biblical proportions, hampered further by archaic game design and storytelling daft enough to make an anime blush.
But many fans weren't quite ready to write the game off so soon, with some committed to embracing this more OTT brand of Resident Evil as the new normal.
Even today, some have convinced themselves to welcome it as the guilty pleasure cheat meal of the series, even if the success of follow-up Resident Evil 7 only further proved how little of a Resident Evil game it actually was.
It still has its defenders, but when it comes down to brass tacks, the sixth game was just too much of an empty-calorie entertainment without the gut-wrenching suspense of even its weaker predecessors.
