"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.

RE 6 is a bad game, period.And not even fun at that.Wether you like it or not, RE 7 is a better game by just comparing the scores.Wether you personally like it more than the other, its outside the point.Critic wise, RE 6 is bad and RE 7 is better because its going into a direction that seems right for the series.And what is that direction?Its the same one of the early RE games.Just because its on first person dosent change that fact.

And its not a cliche indie game, and thats a fact.Just the fact that the game is an AAA game makes it a non indie game, so by that alone makes you wrong, but also the persception that games in general, indie, AA or AAA, cant influence one another makes your claim even more wrong.What is wrong about taking the good parts of good games and putting them into your own games?Every single company does that.Every single one.And if you go by that line of thought, every single game is unoriginal.So what makes a game original?Original is when you do something that feels fresh.And for all accounts, the reviewers feel that this is a fresh entry in the series.Plus sazing that this is similar to Outlast just because of the trailers is silly.I still havent played the game and I saw no spoilers, but you almost always have the option to fight your way through, with some exceptions.That comparison is grasping at straws.

Now, if you like the game or not, or if you think the game is for you, its completely personal and I respect your opinion.But when you go on saying stuff as fact when they arent, thats when you are wrong.
