I never jumped on the Resident Evil 6 hate bandwagon. I do know where it comes from but I disagree.
RE6 was a tail end of the generation mainline game, the "encore" for players who had enjoyed Resident Evil 4+5.
RE4 -> RE5 -> RE6 had been steadily building up to this. The characters no longer scared and weak but experienced killing machines.

So Capcom dropped bigger action, more character variety and even bigger monsters and boss scenarios. Max out what the PS3/Xbox 360 could do.

But it got blindsided by games that were considered "mature" and "deep" like Uncharted 2/3, Max Payne 3 and Mass Effect 3.
"Gamers" wanted annoying wives and gay uncles in their video games not tentacle monsters, boobs and zombie presidents.
