It's the best Resident Evil game since Resident Evil 4, although I would also say for all think it's really good, it's not quite as good as Resident Evil 4.

That particular fight always did make me think of Bitores Mendez. It has that same frenetic "Tiny Room, Horrible Person-Shaped Monster" energy to it.

Just beat REmake 3. I really enjoyed it the entire way through, but I couldn't help but feel like it ended right as I was hitting my stride and getting into it. I knew it'd be a short game, but I wish there would've been some more meat or padding to some of the areas.

That you just said it was better than 4 just caused me to I'm a little iffier on 7 than a lot of people but it was indeed a return to form, planning routes and backtracking through a single labyrinth area was something 4 and the subsequent ots games before 7 largely abandoned for linear paths. I think the reason why r3make has gotten the mixed reception it has is people being disappointed with that aspect being toned down again compared to remake 2. lurker2006 fucked around with this message at 15:29 on Apr 10, 2020 |

The siege with Carlos was the hardest part of this game so far. He's armed for bear but towards the end I kept getting hit from behind and as soon as one hit ended another would start and then i'd be grabbed and killed. I keep wanting to dodge with Carlos. I know that's not really what he does but after practicing with Jill I can't shake it.

But everyone keeps giving it this glowing praise and calling it a "return to form". That you just said it was better than 4 just caused me to 4s a pretty linear action game and despite how rock solid the design of it is the narrative is one akin to most action movies, 7 has some real emotional beats going on and the highs i got off the pacing and narrative were way higher than 4. Storming the mines with a full loadout, Chris racing to get the bomb off of his wrist or fighting entire hordes in a room the size of a closet, the AMG-78, etc. The AMG especially was a high that nothing else in what I've replayed of resident evil gave me, such a good triumphant moment with swelling music and ridiculous gameplay, a really fun capstone for the game as a whole. 4 and 7 are very different kinds of games so direct comparison I won't do, but 4 is a methodical and tactical action game, a bit slow in pace but frantic because of the challenges and odds it presents you with. 7 uses its claustrophobic setting and camera and some of the best sound design in horror games to create a real atmosphere of dread that stuck with me a lot, it's very effective. It's also a game of backtracking and key finding and exploration and light puzzle solving, the devs were obviously inspired by the spencer mansion of re1 and were trying to take the series back to those roots. The ammo scrounging part isn't there as much and it does become a bit more action than original re though, and the game itself is a bit smaller than the original, minus the postgame campaigns. Having played both of them very recently, and back to back, 7 is the one I'd go with over 4 first for another replay, yes. Sharkopath fucked around with this message at 17:27 on Apr 10, 2020 |

That you just said it was better than 4 just caused me to It is one of the most effective horror games of the past decade, I think. It does many of the same things 4 does in terms of reestablishing a new status quo, a new direction, and instills genuine freshness into a game about walking around a spooky house. It also looks loving amazing and feels really good to play, though I can see being disappointed if you want a more action heavy game, but even the DLC addresses that. RE7 is fantastic. I don't know if it's better than 4, but I think it's the best game in the series since 4 for sure.

Has anyone had issues getting the "Bookworm" record? I used a guide and I swear I picked up every note through 2 playthroughs but it still says I'm missing one. Do I actually have to read them all in one playthrough? Oh, and I have to actually *read* them or just pick them up?

Another casualty of my replay series was 5, which I remembered more fondly than I ended up feeling after I was through. The intro is fantastic and promises re4 but even faster, with more enemies on screen at once that are also more aggresive and active. That promise is mostly ignored for the rest of the campaign and excepting Desperate Escape( which I thought was a fantastic and stressful challenge especially in coop) the game feels more like re4 but more sloppy and without the smart pacing that gives you a blend of tactical combat and treasure hunting exploration and smaller skirmishes in between. A bit dull narrative too although the matrix wesker stuff was definitely fun. Feel like 5 and 6 just blend together in my head now as the bottom of the series.

Somehow the most dread inducing thing in RE7 wasn't anything to do with actual gameplay, it was that loading screen with the slightly open door next to a laundry machine or something where I was almost certain it was slowly opening but I wasn't sure. Genuinely got me on edge. Was that just me?

So I had my first Nemisis battle and dropped him with grenade, picked up something or other, hauled rear end and he caught up to me. I got him to kneel but am I supposed to keep wailing on him or just gtfo? Seems like the latter cause I don't think I was hurting him when he was kneeling and then he got up and hosed me up.

Solomonic posted:Yes! It can even explode heads, which looks hilarious. I've been doing a hot dogger only run and the counter uppercut has done a ton of damage on the occasions where I've had to fight. The only drawback has been that it doesn't seem like you can dodge out of the knife counterattack animation (or else I'm doing it wrong), so be judicious using it around a group of enemies. I got pretty good at it in the lab when the hunters break out of their tubes. I was very low on ammo from the section right before (used on the pale heads and tentacle heads. gently caress that room where you need to grab part of the vaccine and 6 enemies come streaming out) and had to resort to knife counters. I got down to one hunter several time but would always be insta-killed from full health at the last moment. I’m going to have to roll back to a much earlier save and conserve my ammo better. It’s a bit jarring because even on hardcore the game has been throwing ammo at me for the last several hours until you get into the lab and so far it’s just been a bit of pistol ammo. You basically have to kill all of the enemies in that room because there is almost no room to dodge or maneuver. I’m on hardcore and I don’t like the instant kill moves some of the enemies seem to do. They don’t look any different from regular moves so sometimes am enemies will take a swipe or lunge at you and you will be killed. I think even some of the regular zombies can instant kill you if they grab from behind.

Where are you all spacing out your 5 saves? Do autosaves stop on the difficulty after hardcore? I was surprised to get a continue on hardcore after getting punch killed by Nemesis just before the sewers.

Keep in mind as well RE7 came off the backs of 5 and 6. I lost interest after RE5 as Dead Space was doing everything better, but ended up getting RE7 after word of mouth spoke positively about it. First person horror rules.

RE4 is great, but I remember initially being upset that it wasn’t like the first three. Besides not having zombies, RE7 was what I was looking for out of a modern Resident Evil. I had to put the game down when I tried to play it in VR. A video game hasn’t scared me that much since I played the original RE2 at midnight when I was thirteen.

I can definitely see people being skeptical of first person RE; I was in that camp when the game was first announced, but then I remembered how stale the franchise had gotten and I was excited to see what they could accomplish by shaking things up to the degree that they did. So I can see it earning extra points with some people simply because it was trying something new, but I wouldn’t characterize it as something that people were “desperate” to like; I strongly feel that the positive reaction to RE7 was based on its merits as a game more so than it simply being “not RE6”
