Dude, i'm not trashing it. Where did i trash it? You are making that up.

I disputed that it's a game in the same veins as the predecessors because it clearly isn't. I never once said it was a bad game.

Quite honestly, i don't believe the reviewers, but i believe what i have seen about the game. They failed me many a time. So, theres that.

"I'd rather it was another RE6 explosion fest than this cliché indie horror game."

Coming from you, that's not trashing it?

Coming from me, thats not trashing it. Remember i'm not the one that has an unfavorable opinion of RE6, you are (presumably). RE6 is an explosion fest, but it's fun. I want the series to go more in the direction of revelations and the remakes/originals. This is a completely different direction with a completely different feel.

Maybe saying its a cliché indie game? That depends on what you think about indie games. But its inescapable that that is what it is. Look at outlast and tell me it doesn't draw inspiration from it (or PT for that matter). Theres many of those indie games around... thus: cliché. Would you rather i said, unoriginal? It's the same thing. It's not trashing, it's a verification of fact. I'm criticizing the type of game, not the game itself.
