I’ve recently played Resident Evil 6 for the 1st time after playing Resident Evil 4 (an absolute masterpiece) & Resident 5 (a pretty good game). I was already aware of the hate this game got over the years. But after experiencing it, it’s only bad in an artificial way. Like yeah, it’s nothing like the classic games and it’s too much in the action category.

Otherwise, as someone who loves action games, it’s a pretty fun game. Especially in Mercenaries Mode, where it’s fun to mow down body-horror themed enemies. As a Resident Evil game, it’s pretty bad. But…as an action third person shooter with splatter punks, it’s quite well executed

    I hated Civ VII when it first came out. If I start out as Rome, then I will play through to the end of the game as Rome. I tried several times to go through the empire change, but my options were always countries that I have never heard of or ones that I really had no interest in playing.

    Now that they updated it, I haven’t tried playing again. I did like the game other than that.

    I should try again. I really do like the franchise.

      I usually stick with the same civ, but not always. The variety is fun.

      And I have mixed feelings about the two main options on keeping your stuff or not. Both are actually fun.

      But I do play with some mods - including cheat ones, although I usually just cheat enough diplomacy so as to be able to participate with all the incoming diplomatic requests, and some limited gold, and sometimes to cheat unit movement (like if I want to adjust my starting area, or if I’m just frustrated with an enemy and I’m like “fuck it, you’re out” lol)
