this. 7 was a nice soft reboot but then went full autismo with a new overarching villain, two areas that are boring set pieces, a nonsensical plot and sequel bait with no logical direction to lead the franchise.
How is 7s plot nonsensical?
This
that's about right. as a resident evil shill 8 is probably the worst mainline game.
I don't know about dogshit but 8 was disappointing and not a good follow-up to 7.
7 gave us mad dog Jack Baker, 8 gave us.. big titty goth mommy, and some big fish, and terrible shotguns
Normies are so easily impressed with easter hunt, busywork hubs. 7 is a crafted experience and 8 has chores between every section and most of those sections don't even have enemies like the two puzzle bosses in a row and the castle where people have webms of them purposely standing still next to the enemies and it takes them like 2 minutes to actually die on hard.
Fpbp
I couldn't even finish 8. Controls and level design were garbage
fpbp.
7 was a good way of getting the series back on course. I didnt like how it had to have a big flesh monster at the end. I wish it stayed restrained.
8 went right back to 6 levels of wacky. The game wanted to be both 4 and 7 and it didn't work. Having to go through the dollhouse on a second playthrough is an absolute game ruiner.
Basically.
Magnetism guy would have been cool if he had just tried plan B after seeing MC refuse to use his kid as a weapon instead of doing this moronic shit.
We'll never know why he turned into a giant transformed and punched us into the basement with the only weapon he can't manipulate when he already had us paralyzed and disarmed with his magnetic powers.
Filtered bad 7 is basically an interactive cutscene compared to village. Have you ever replayed it? It's a moviegame.

RE7 is a survival horror game
RE8 is a first person shooter.
You do the math.
>7
Mostly great, excellent setting and atmosphere and the first person view was a refreshing change. Fumbles a bit in the third act but the DLCs make up for that.
>8
Some good ideas and improvements, but clearly rushed with a lot of wasted potential. Tried too hard to copy RE4 without having the amazing combat that made that game work. The DLC also really sucks.
how are they so rich?
They're not, the house just got passed down to them from past generations. Also it's built on a swamp and most of it looks cheaply built.
It's cool to think how such a relatively small property took Ethan nearly 10hrs to navigate for his freedom. It really was hell.
>dlc fixes that
????????
chris dlc sucks camel dicks
the zoe dlc is boring
fisto hobo would be more fun if they came up with more enemies instead of just mashing punch on the same goo men
Chris DLC is an actual RE game killing shit and stopping a mad scientist, talking about umbrella and experiments mumbo jumbo, Lucas is the final boss we deserved in the main campaign and being a human serial killer attacking us with traps and taunting is refreshing
The setting is bad and it's unreasonably hard in some parts. Didn't have fun with it. Props for being free though.
moron
7 is KINO and elevated above all other RE games with VR
8 is enjoyable slop
I like both of them 🙂
8>>>7
7 has a very cool looking intro sequence but is a worse game in every respect. Terrible monster variety and the worst second half of any RE game. 8 on the other hand has awesome monster variety and so many cool segments beyond the first hour of the game. 8 would be the best RE game if not for the absolute dogshit Gun system where every gun you obtain is a direct upgrade across the board from the previous one, completely missing the point of RE4's gun system.
Resident Evil is dead. Move on.

>Every new game is selling more than hot cakes

>dead
They’re not Resident Evil games they’re not survival horror and they’re only popular with zoomer morons who can’t understand what made the classic games work.
The only true Resident Evil games are the original 1, 2, 3, CV, Outbreak 1 and 2
Explain how RE7 and RE2 Remake aren't survival horror games without crying about tank controls.
Fix cameras angles and tank controls are essential for creating atmosphere and made Resident Evil unique without that you don’t really have Resident Evil games but generic zoomer action game with a slight horror theme.
If you don’t like tank controls and fixed camera angles you are not a Resident Evil fan FULLSTOP.
>essential for creating atmosphere
They aren't, clearly. Plenty of RE games have a good atmosphere without tank controls or fixed camera. I would actually argue the music contributed more than either of those things, one of the main problems with RE2 remake is it's atmosphere is definitely lacking in areas without the classic music pack.
>If you don’t like tank controls and fixed camera angles you are not a Resident Evil fan FULLSTOP.
I like both of those things. Neither of them are what made the original trilogy survival horror.
It's a matter of talent and music, yeah, both lost in current era.
For me, the original Resident Evil 4 is the most atmospheric game ever at least on the village, nothing comes close to seeing those sickly brown skies and decayed houses with dirty undead people going about their days.
Even when the castle and island shift to a different kind of tone, it still has plenty of identity with the sounds and stuff.
RE4 accomplished all of that while being nothing like the classic games because the director was simply that good.
RE4 has some of my favourite art design ever. I truly believe that games peaked in that regard in the 6th gen and RE4 serves as great evidence of that, alongside games like MGS2 and 3.
Replace CV with REmake 1 and you have a leg to stand on. CV is what made RE slop because MATRIX SO COO
Wrong Code Veronica was the last good Resident Evil game, remake added too much bullshit like Lisa Trevor and dumbed down the game play.
THIS. I replay RE1-3 at least once a year. Usually heavily modded Japanese PC version.
I don't really care for them personally. Re7 had too many black goo monsters which felt like I was playing Prey. Re8 was interesting in the mansion but the puzzles are kiddie tier and there's too many antagonists. I also just don't like Ethan or what they've done to Chris.
7 is good, certainly what RE needed after RE6 collapsed on itself.
8 is trying to do it again while also rehashing RE4's setpieces. It's basically what Call of Duty is doing, "hey remember that thing you liked years ago?" Years later it doesn't help that we actually got a better game that's literally just RE4's remake.
It's not a bad game but it's like 3, 0 or Code Veronica, one of those in-between games while Capcom figures out what big thing they want to do with the series next.
>It's not a bad game but it's like 3, 0 or Code Veronica, one of those in-between games while Capcom figures out what big thing they want to do with the series
I partially agree to this. The plot of RE8 elevates it beyond a rehash of series tropes. Ethan's journey to save his family is far more relatable than Leon flip kicking zombies to save the president's daughter.
I believe this deserves a thread on its own but for some reason RE threads die without hitting bump limit, why don't we have a general on /vg/?
The story / relatable part of the franchise is holding it down extremely hard, it simply can't grow to its full potential when the characters barely have any story / personality beyond genetic soldiers and the games are exclusively
>Let's drop these legacy characters into a BOW infested setting so they clear it up and kill the baddy of the year
We needed more variance in the kind of stories Capcom tells, ironically 7 and 8 were a step in the right direction. We get a character with a story to tell, a kidnapped wife, a family turned into madmen making him go through hell, and the sequel trying to rescue his daughter. In both games we get a taste of how a game based on the legacy characters would be
>Chris gets dispatched with a military team to clear the area
That's just not a fun story. It's been done in 5, 6, revelations, 7, 8...
The classic games were fine, they created the characters and lore, but by this point I wish we knew more of them or they had goals beyond
>stop terrorism
That's all they do
Like I don't know how this would be done but I wish we got to see Leon talking with his parents, he's only 28 yo they're still alive. Maybe some early section like re8 in the house before he takes off for a job.
Show him casually hanging out with Ada at some cafeteria talking about the future. Early part of the game could merely be investigating some crime syndicate, talking to npcs with some light action, infiltrate their base and fight some BOWs. I dunno, I'm trying to think of a plot that isn't just
>X FAR AWAY LOCATION IS INFESTED, GO KILL THE MONSTERS
and a way to get more dialogue out of the characters.
Maybe let Leon retire and form a family with Ashley or Ada idk
I just wish we had lengthier cutscenes like DMC or Metal Gear. Talking about Leon, his intro to RE4 Remake would be great if it didn't last like 30 seconds. Actually show him talking with the president to establish his character, show his training with Krauser over 1-2 minutes, and even show Ashley getting kidnapped in a mysterious scene to establish the stakes.
>why don't we have a general on /vg/?
Despite being a very old franchise, there's nothing to discuss daily about the RE games. Most of them are rather short and their replayability only comes from speed running. It also doesn't help that the release time between sequels is rather long. The occasional 200 post thread on Ganker is fine.
>That's just not a fun story. It's been done in 5, 6, revelations, 7, 8..
I agree. It's time to retire Leon and Chris as characters. A big reason why people love the early RE games is the constant rotation of new characters. I hope RE9 is either focused on Rose, who still has a lot of character left to explore, or a brand new protagonist with only minor references to the previous.
8 doesn’t know what it wants to be. One minute you’re exploring and solving puzzles, the next you’re killing enemies like it’s RE4.
7 had just the right length for how confined it was with cool interconnected passages and changing gameplay style segments.
8 felt like half a game because it's over just as you maxed out your guns, also very little enemy variety for how combat focused it was.
Also the last hour was miserable, they just straight up recycle the first area and give you virtually unlimited ammo and the best gun to just stomp everything.
7 is probably the best RE since RE1HD and the only other game series to out do it is probably the new Amnesia
RE7 is still my favourite modern RE game.
7: Kino until the last third
8: moronic kino of the highest order
7 was good as a tech demo/proof of concept. The Punch Wizard DLC was great.
8 was a weird reboot of 4 both for good and for bad. They got the order of the set pieces wrong though. Having the castle first sets your expectations for the rest of the game way too high. Order of the bosses should have gone Donna, Moreau, Heisenberg, Dimitrescu.
I think Moreau first then Donna, Then Dimitrescu, Then Heisenberg putting the Heisenbergs test in the castle and at Dimitrescus hands to make he feel like a real threat. But they should have made Heisenberg slightly more helpful than murdery at first so then joining him would have felt like a weighed decision issued of just trading one butthole for another. With the reveal he was a hilarious dipshit after you turned him down rather than being a common theme. Just to sell that he seemed like he was fighting Miranda, not just making a coup
A nice bit of decision making would've been having Heisenberg's offer only appear if you visited him before Dimitrescus. Could explain it as Ethan not yet believing he has the power to save Rose but killing Dimitrescus is such a huge feat Ethan would believe he doesn't need Heisenberg afterwards.
I really feel like RE8 needed another 6 months in the tank. It was a game ripe for multiple path progression.
Oh 6 months or a full year, the undercooked aspect should be apparent to anyone who played it.
>Why can't I fight phase 1 dimistrescu and heisenberg? huh? Why was the castle done so quickly?
Everyone who went through Village thought that, I believe. Then there's the 'no unique upgrades' for weapons despite being a RE4 inspired title.
Tbf the only reason he could end Dimitrescu was because of the macguffin dagger to turn off her regeneration.
Thoughts on Resident Evil 2 and 3?
>2 Remake
Kino. It's the perfect mix of classic survival horror gameplay with a modern camera and controls. The series should have gone in this direction years ago instead of focusing on pure action.
>3 Remake
Disappointing, especially with its short length and how badly it handled Nemesis compared to Mr.X, but the gameplay is still pretty fun. Solid 7/10.
I played 3R for the first time yesterday and beat it in one sitting, the game doesn't spend anywhere near enough time in the city and basically half the game is spent as Carlos instead of Jill. I don't get it.
It was clearly rushed and lower budget. It was probably planned to be a DLC.
It's funny how Mr X was a better Nemesis than Nemesis
>Mr X Gon Give It To Ya is just always stomping down the hallways behind you
>Feels like a constant threat even though he just walks aggressively until the end when he starts actually mutating
>Meanwhile the actual Nemesis just feels like on-rails segments Jill has to run past
>His mutations just get more goofy while Jill quips at him
>b***h can't even swim
Next time take the hint
>Demake 2
Garbage
>Demake 3
Pure shit
>i guess its alone in the tank controls puzzle hell
>Zoomer level IQ and attention spans
Possibly the most pathetic cope I've ever seen to defend a shit game mechanic.
>2 Remake
Has it's problems (lack of music without the classic pack, Ada and Sherry sections are pace killers, the stories aren't as interwoven as they should be, Claire's voice acting) but I still think it's kino. Just a fun combo of survival horror gameplay and action RE combat.
>3 Remake
dogshit
2 is good. 3 is barebones. they cut so much content and didn’t replace it with anything but shooting zombies. it honestly feels like a soulless cashgrab.
3's development feels like it was all over the place. People say it was a rushed cashgrab, but if it was why did they bother with that live action intro sequence?
I wanted to add this in a previous post, actually making unique cutscenes with destruction and custom animations only ever used for said video is far harder than just dropping Nemesis and telling you
>fight it
Or
>run from it
The characters model for Nemesis with its following code was already in the game, it follows you thorough downtown and punches if you're too close, it's all there.
There was no reason to not simply code him inside that building following you upstairs, instead they give him multiple cutscenes chasing you up there.
Or destroying a bridge.
Or the entire intro sequence like you said doing tons of cinematic custom stuff instead of simply chasing you through doors. The shit they did required way more time and effort
3 has my favorite gameplay and ideas but had no development time not budget, it's like a modern Dark Souls 2.
I also replayed it more than the other modern games because I wanted to unlock everything and get more juice out of the increased difficulties. I love shooting and dodging and no other game has done a better city in a zombie apocalypse besides the original RE3.
So if you want to play through raccoon city, your best games are emulating OG on the ps1 or playing this. It gets points for that.
Re2r is too claustrophobic for me, just a dark station, sewers, and a lab, zombies are too hard and you can run out of ammo easily.
>remake 2
somewhat enjoyable but i still prefer the original. (claire's weird need to say fricker comes to mind)
>remake 3
i wish i could get my money back. besides the fact that they accepted changes from a feminist va hack, they also fricked up nemesis which could've been good
Am I the only one that thought that Resistance that came with 3 had so much potential? The game could have been a great contender to Dead by Daylight, but Capcom fricking it up some how.
>but Capcom fricking it up some how.
We knew it was DOA because Capcom, the Taiwanese team that was handling it did what they could, but Capcom was going to screw it up
Would you risk you life to save this?
>men only want one thing and it's disgusting
Yes, I would do anything for my toddler wife. The hag can frick off.
I'd risk it all just to live with Evelyn instead.
FRICK NO
wonder why the frick she wears shoes in the giant ass nice house they live in
Mia is the one thing about RE8 that I can't get over. She was already untrustworthy fron RE7 and then they tried to do a similar twist with her again in 8 and at that point you just have to wonder why Ethan puts up with the lack of transparency from her. Chris to a lesser degree is dumb in 8 but it all points back to Mia. I don't get it. Doesn't help her VA is uncharismatic as shit in that role.
The story makes more sense if you believe that Ethan was spying on Mia the whole time to get access to the mycomyces. There are numerous hints as to this however the plot of 8 invalidates them.
Mia obviously is a demon in bed...Mia probably licked Ethan butthole Clean while jerking hin off and did anal all in their first date.Everything goes kinky from there.Its the only explanation for Ethan to will hinself back to life just to save her.
>Miranda was both relieved and disappointed her time as Ethan's wife ended because she was starting to actually like all the debauchery Ethan introduced her to in the bedroom
>that's why she chokes that random villager in front of Ethan and lets all the Lord's cast him in chains because it reminds her of all the fun times he did the same to her
best ship
I didn't think about this before, but this is a lot hotter.
>Converts evil b***h with the power of dick.
CUTE
she's not japanese or chinese. if it ain't wong it's not right
You know two Wongs don't make a right
i know, that's why ada had to kill the simmons created clone in re6. there can only be one wong
Both flawed, both worth playing.
Duke>RE4 Merchant, deal with it haters.
how come nobody ever asks how the greedy merchant warps around RE4
Leon cries and drinks a lot years after the events of RE4.
Because he handed over stacks of gold bars to that guy for probably far less than what they were worth, just for some upgrades to his handgun or shotgun.
is heisenberg supposed to be sam hyde esque build up character?
7 is great
8 is missed opportunity.
I'd have made Heisenberg less autistic, and thus an ally and have him being a recurring character in the franchise, a more ambiguous player in the events.
Beneviento section was good, and she's very cute.
Duke was a great character. Hope to see more.
>Heisenberg less autistic, and thus an ally
The only one who was autistic was Ethan. Heisenberg literally offers a teamup and he doesnt even hear him out.
Having the option to side with him would have been kino but of course it's a RE game.
Why would Ethan side with a man who turns people into robot zombies?
Heisenberg has awful communication skills.
Couldn't even hide his true intentions for a single second.
>Heisenberg literally offers a teamup and he doesnt even hear him out.
Because Karl attacked Ethan at first?Its amazing how stupid you people are to trust a guy that attacked you just because he looks cool.
I would distrust someone who was saying insane shit like "using MY INFANT DAUGHTER as a weapon" which is a terrible thing to say to someone you're trying win over as an ally. Does Karl not understand how a father loves and wants to protect his child from harm? Was Karl's early life that fricked up? Imagine if Ethan agreed and Karl drops the Rose flasks/Reformed Rose into a machine to shoot at Miranda. Absolutely not.
This.
People that say Ethan should have join Karl arent fathers obviously.
Also Karl is fuking stupid
>Is friggin magneto
>Still lose to a nerd with guns
And i am not talking about the tank but you know ALL THE NORMAL GUNS ETHAN STILL HAVE?
The scene could have been presented differently, Ethan is arguably as much of a sperg. Could have easily started with
>We're not using my daughter, but I'll go kill Miranda. We can team up if you agree to not touching her
Or whatever.
It'd be nice if they originally teamed, then Heisenberg betrayed you by stealing your Rose parts and trying to get away.. Although I sincerely don't see Heisenberg as a traitor. He really wanted to be done with Miranda but the writers didn't let it happen, they didn't even give him a human boss fight.
That would have worked if Karl didnt rebar Ethan chest in their first encounter.
Well, all they were doing is killing some random civilian intruder at first. You're only worthy for Heisenberg after you proved yourself killing two Lords and an undead army, that's why the alliance is possible at all, before that you were a nobody and he's not THAT good.
It's very confusing on the subject of how much the Lord's knew. Did they know Miranda was pretending to be Ethan's wife? Did they know Ethan can survive fatal injuries for normal humans? Did Karl impale Ethan with rebar knowing he'd live or did Miranda tell Karl to chain up the corpse of a random outsider saying it would wake up soon? Did Lady D know her beloved idol Mother Miranda was being dicked by a man whom she thinks to be lowly creatures?
>That last question
oof
Every single new Resident evil from 7 until 4 is a masterpiece for me, but maybe because i didn't play any of the old ones. Yeah even 3 DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT ! Btw i bought them all and will continue to buy on RELEASE DAY !
Forgot to mention that I'm trans btw 🙂
Actually i am a 35 year old virgin straight white male 5 feet 9, 90 kg, i work out 5 days/week, have nice skin and hair, am fit, don't smoke nor drink and jerk off to new RE girls constantly.
You're clinically obese
also I love Jill
I'm glad the people in the village in RE4 painted everything important bright yellow

They are not even real Resident Evil games.
You’re not a real woman.
Nu-Resident Evil is for zoomers and trannies, classic Resident Evil is for chads
Retro gamers are all trannies
Your generation are the most likely to troon out zoomer subhuman, you are the troony generation.
7 spoopy
8 4 but better
Do you think RE9 will be FPS?
I have a hunch for 9 they'll make it optional so you can play either first or third person but I'd be shocked if they flat out remove first person perspective.
RE1 Remake Remake when?
I like both, but RE8 feels rushed. It has enough content to be as long as RE4, but everything goes by too fast after the castle
> Re7
What kind of masochistic willingly enters an abandoned mansion in a shithole swamp? Not me that’s for sure
> Re8
What kind of masochist willingly enters a castle haunted by a MILF in a Central European shithole? Definitely me, that’s for sure.
Why did Chris conveniently relocate Ethan and family to a location in Europe within walking distance of the source of the mold? What a coincidence.
He didn't, BSAA did, Chris is just their field agent.
>Chris is just their field agent.
They were literally attacking the BSAA at the end of the game, I don't think he is BSAA anymore
The notes in Ethan's house say that the BSAA was evaluating Rose when she was born, but yeah, Chris appears separate from them at the end. Maybe he went freelance.
he went freelance to hunt down Leon obviously
He went rogue between 7 and 8, when he noticed moronic decisions, including new location for Ethan. His team was laying low, so BSAA didn't really perceive them as traitors yet, which is about to change as soon as Chris comes asking for explanations over BOW soldiers.
Why was it so mid?
It was kinda "The Jill Show featuring The Rest", I get this was Jill's CG movie debut but, ehh.
>Jill-focused movie
>couldn't be assed to give her a new cool design
Yeah it's weird, they used her RE3 Remake design but it's set after 6. I guess they wanted to use a more modern design.
Jill is young and beautiful and perfect forever now because of the exposure to the virus, don't ask too many questions.
They could have at least given her a less boring outfit.
Are the women contractually obligated to only wear one color?
Yes, they are Power Rangers for life.
it's a Jill movie with very little for Jill to do, they wanted this "avenger assemble" moment so much that they filled the movie with characters that do nothing.
Only Jill and Leon do anything of note in this movie, The Redfields, specially Claire are there for no reason, and Rebbeca is now the vaccine deliverer, even though RE 0 set her up as a badass zombie killer by the end.
RE0 is basically noncanon. Rebecca is useless in combat in RE1.
8's story makes no sense if you stop to think about it for too long, and I'm not a fan of the guns in it.
However, I do love it's setting. Beneviento House is a contender for scariest moment in the series, and Heisenberg is a campy fun villain.
>8's story makes no sense if you stop to think about it for too long
It makes no sense even if suspend disbelief for all the senseless plot devices the writers made
So this 100 year old scientist needed a mold baby to make 4 crystals to make a ritual to revive her daughter? Huh? And she was visited by spencer when he was like 20 years old?
The Bakers or the Four Lords? who were the better villains?
Bakers were actually scary and felt organic to the story. Four Lords felt obviously gamey and were cartoon characters, albeit entertaining ones.
the Bakers are scarier and better written
But the Four Lords are more memorable with iconic designs.
Nobody wants to cosplay as the Bakers.
Everyone wants to cosplay as Lady D or Heisenberg
They're both good but the added context from the Daughters dlc puts the bakers at the top. They really were such a sweet family (minus Lucas obvs) before being infected, surprisingly positive representation of a backwoods southern family from a japanese dev.
Bakers by a long shot. Good writing and depth makes each of them unique. Four lords are garbage because:
- Dimitrescu is popular simply because she's a "big woman with huge breasts", remove that and there's nothing remarkable about her.
- Beneviento section is way too short. We barely ever saw her, and all she does is scaring you with alive dolls. Nonetheless, baby section is really tense and should've been a bit longer.
- Moreau is... forgettable. Just your average RE monster with tentacles.
- Heisenberg is a big wasted potential. If only they haven't fricked him over by making Ethan hostile towards him and if he had some sort of co-operation against Miranda, then his section would've been much more interesting. Chris part is meaningless because Miranda reveals truth about Mia anyways. They should've kept his as a villian until that point, too.
Moreau was memorable for me because when you're running from him in fish form he jumps out of the water like Free Willy and yells "I'm the best!" Made me frickin' crack up.
Maybe I underestimated him. Probably because he didn't posed much threat during my playthroughs so I quicky forgot about him
By Chris part I mean Factory section, not Village assault. Sorry.
>Moreau
I liked Moreau. he was such a loser everything about him was ugly and gross and it was both funny and pitiful.
It's rare to see an RE villain that's just an all around loser that nobody in the game likes.
Made him stand out and made it all the more fun when he's trying he's hardest to kill you but failing.
Irving was also kind of a loser. Didn't get the good stuff and just mutated into another fish abomination.
I for once would like some RE villains who don't turn into giant abominations for their fights. Krauser may have mutated, but having a Vietnam survival fight was pretty awesome.
the bakers were entertaining yet scary. the village characters were mocap LA voice actor vehicles that had ott magic X-men powers. I like heisenberg and lady d's visual designs in a vacuum though
They're both fantastic for different reasons. The Bakers are better for grounded slasher horror. The Four Lords are better for action or gothic horror.
I think The Bakers were better villains as you feel empathy to save them by the end while the Lords were simple thematic obstacles for Ethan's character development but each set works fantastically for what the games needed.
Both are mid af fr fr
Resident evil
Sins of sIX. (IX means 9)
Or
Resident evil
methyLXanthine (I.X means 9)
7 is a well-intentioned and consistent, but ultimately shallow return to horror form, while 8 is a scattershot hodgepodge of 4 and 7 that runs damn near the entire spectrum of quality. Some parts of 8 are better, but 7 is by far the more reliable entry.
Ethan is unironically one of the best video game protagonists in the HD era of gaming. His pure fricking determination to push through literal hell to save his family despite being a regular fricking white IT guy is excecuted fantastically. Few games manage to balance a character being both weak and brave.
Gameplay wise, the games are fine. It's cool how the gunplay in RE7 seems designed around the idea your character would be jittery as frick holding a gun for the first time. So seeing Ethan get those tactical reloads in the RE8 is nice visual character development. The monster variety for both games is a rather poor sans the bosses. The enemies designs themselves are fantastic but you'll get bored of the same mold and werewolves by the end game. Same for both games that the level design is truely fantastic and you do fear what's around each new corner.
RE7/8 are good games. Their flaws are minor and don't hurt the games highs. Worth playing.
Favorite RE game? For me it's original 3
In public, REmake. In my heart, Rev1. Fricking love the Queen Zenobia.
4 7 and 1 remake
But the only mainline RE game I don't like is 6.
1 Director's cut
RE7 is fun, RE8 is hot garbage and feels disjointed like a bunch of ideas poorly stitched together
Re7 is pretty good until the ship and salt mines. The weapones feel limp and gay. Jack should have gibbed apart when you blast him and grrew back like a regenerater. The Black mold is stupid. other than that. 3/5 good.
RE8 = Mr.toads wild ride zippiddy Yah Hooo.
Cool parts. Village, castle, Doll house and Chris.
thats about it
i'm glad they didn't go foward with those "the Hills have Eyes" designs.
The creeper twins and grandpa baby could have made for a better second half but, over all yeah.
The beginning of Resident Evil 7 is better than all of 8. All of Resident Evil 8 is better than the rest of Resident Evil 7
7 was pretty fun, I like the new direction with the mold shit and the DLC had some cute Zoe feet
8 was amazing til after the dollhouse shit, then it fell off so frickin hard I thought I was playing some indy dev teams passion product. It was jarring how different the two halves are
I want Heisenberg to choke me sexually
This is how zoomers think of resident evil sex mods and fetishes.
Resident Evil has been my favorite game series since I first played RE0 on the wii of all things. It also happens that I am attracted to wienery dominant men. Thankfully the two are things that coexist in my person
Is this accurate?
No.

That is one of the only things he got right though zoomer, demake 2 is dogshit
You're really convincing people with that wojak edit.
It puts the truth across in the way that even a brain dead zoomer can understand

You don't need to samegay because you didn't get a response.
Not samegay zoomer moron
Black person, people can mark and unmark posts at will with extensions. Don't be mad because you got caught. Be mad at yourself for thinking hi-fiving yourself in public was not a sad thing to do.
>Complains about re4r being above 4 but wants RE2R above 2
I don't get you man.
If you're gonna say 2r has superior gameplay so does 4r compared to 4. Parries, knives, and actual difficult enemies that don't go down to shoot + kick... If you care solely about gameplay I can see why rate 4r as the ultimate game (even though it loses to the original in everything else).
I think the same goes for 2r. Superior gameplay by virtue of dabbing on an isometric game in which all you do is autoaim and shoot, but the latter has much more personality.
RE2make hit the right beats of the mess that was RE2 and the big changes it made only benefited the tone the game was aiming for. REm4ke was slavishly faithful to the original where it lacked it's own voice and some of the decisions they made (like signposting where to go with big splashes of piss that can't be turned off) were not easy to overlook.
The only accurate thing here is og RE2 in S+ tier
RE4R = B
RE1 Remake = S+
no
>RE6 in S Tier
>RE3 Remake above original
i like re6 a lot, it's really fun
and i don't really have strong feelings about either RE3. They are both pretty "mid". But i guess i just had more fun replaying remake 3. Probably because of the lady hunk costume mod.
also the best part about 5/6 is just randomly decideding to do a full online coop random playthough with some 40 year old man from africa or south america who has 1000 hours
>village up above 99% of the series
No, anon. I doubt whoever made this even played half of these games. It's just some assassin creed adhd dork pretending to be a fan.
It horrendously bad. The only thing you got right was RE7 in A tier and the whole F tier.
RE7 was what the series needed after 6 nearly destroyed the franchise. 7 is a solid little game that feels like it got cold feet about moving the series in a new direction with all that strange Chris stuff. RE8 is just 6 again. Too much shit, none of it good, and now we're again with no place to go and the franchise needs to be rebooted again.
tl;dr 7 saved the franchise, 8 hurt it.
>none of it good
8 had its moments. The castle was a very atmospheric, well paced sequence of setpieces. The dollhouse also excelled in atmosphere, with a decent puzzle or two to its name as well. Factory had some legitimate meat on its bones as a solid RE "dungeon". Lastly, the village revisits were perhaps the most organic expression of exploration in RE in God knows how many years. 8 has its misfires too, but it's a rollercoaster of highs and lows.
I love Donna.
true patricians waifu
7 was scarier and had a good horror tone in the opening house with a suckier action oriented ending.
8 was literally 4 in FPS from the merchant, same settings like castle, village, and island with the same inventory system and weapon upgrading. It even had the same damn opening running around the village being attacked by a horde of enemies.
Here's an RE tier list I made a few years ago.
Would probably put RE8 in C and RE4make in A.
7 is an interesting departure / return to the series. I think it would be boring as frick if it wasn't in vr.
8 is fun for the first go around but every section except the castle is a slog on subsequent playthroughs.
>7
Mid but alright
>8
Shit
Classic chads
These games should have been the wakeup call to people that Japan just can't make first-person shooters.
Worth playing through at least once. Felt like a movie to me
Solid games japan need to fix their shit when it comes to fps basics though. I can't stand the base FOV for instance.
I disliked 7 for being too Outlast-like during the first half, it took me months because it was a mix of being too scary / I disliked the focus on stealth & puzzles. Loved the 2nd part and DLCs but I blasted through that section so hard I mostly only remembered the unpleasant first half, I wanted to rush to Village.
However now that I beat Village and the Remakes, I'm weirdly nostalgic for 7, I feel like it might have been the best built modern RE. It had a clear intention on what it wanted to do, and it truly delivered a horror house experience similar to the Chainsaw Massacre or The Hills Have Eyes on the first half while the 2nd half was classical Resident Evil (bust out your guns and kill shit).
I kinda want to replay it, I have this weird thing in that I PREFER knowing what's next to properly play the game as intended. I hated not knowing what was around the corner, how strong the enemies were, how much resources I had to conserve, bosses, etc.. but now that I beat RE7 once I could have fun playing it without wondering about unexpected difficulty bumps that would ruin my run.
It further hyped me to see the Concept Art of RE7 after beating 8.
My opinions about 8.... I had fun with it except at the factory, it felt like playing another game to be shooting cyborgs. I like the concept of mechanically controlled corpses like Frankenstein but the overall vibe was too electronic for me. ALSO HEISENBERG BEING WASTED RUINED THE GAME FOR ME, AT LEAST -3 POINTS they hype him up too much since the beginning and you never ever fight him outside of cutscenes until he turns into a giant robot.
Likewise you never fight Dimitrescu's tyrant form, the dragon should have been a phase 2 battle. I still loved Village once the credits rolled but the wasted potential is RE3R levels
8 however manages to stand up to 7 by actually having a 3rd person mode, I forgot it wasn't part of the base game until anon above made me remember.
After finishing 7 I wasn't in the mood to play another RE fps so I ignored village, only got it with the TPS dlc so playing it was fun.
If 7 also had 3rd person camera, it would arguably be the up there in S+ tier with the classic Raccon City saga, being a fps bars it from that 10/10 rating.
>classical Resident Evil (bust out your guns and kill shit
Lol look at this zoomers gayget
Finally played Village, and am making my way through 4Remake so I can finally update the official tier list.
Decent list, but RE1 original is too low and RE3 is a little too high.
re3 deserves its spot
as far as tank control RE goes it has the tightest control the most variable story for replays the best ps1 era battle game mode and nemesis for an optional challenge with good rewards
Not him but I just can't get into RE3. It's the only classic game that I've not completed. Every time I start it I get bored and drop it
>Controls
True
>Most variable story
It's only one route, though. And those changes don't really affect anything aside from a few things. It's also the most random RE game, which is annoying on replays when you expect one monster but get another in a certain area.
when i said variability i was mostly talking about the randomization
though the variance of going to certain areas first for different nemesis encounters or choosing to start the top or bottom side of the dead factory first is decently different
you see annoying on replays i see keeping the game fresh so i dont have autistic knowledge of the game and can be slipped up for more of a challenge
same for puzzle randomization so i cant just commit every puzzle to muscle memory like a speedrunner
>RE3make
It wasn't THAT bad. The dodge move was fun, and the enemy variety was better than in 2make.
i feel like 2make damaged 3
they saw mrX and basically went oh frick hes basically nemesis now what do we do?
All CAPCOM had to do was make Nemesis a Mister X but faster and scarier. Basic shit. Instead they were even more lazy most of if not all his encounters railroad set pieces with cutscenes ruining what little gameplay flow exists.
controversial opinion but I think mold zombies are stupid and mold ethan was stupid and mold sperm making a human baby with mold powers is stupid
That's controversial?
It's not actual mold it's just nicknamed "mold" despite that I understand disliking the molded designs of 7 for being just the same enemy but with a little more mold or a little less mold, but Ethan being mold and having a mold baby is in no way more stupid than Wesker being a super human and having a super human baby, or the plot of REV2.
I mean people shitting on the later games for being dumb never played the older ones where there were stuff like a virus turning a man into a female monster or an opera singer made of leeches.
re7s first half in the house is a fun game
re8 sucks complete
RE7 demo was so scary I lost interest in the game
Beginning Hour has to be one of the best demos of all time, making it be a side story that's canonical to the overreaching narrative instead of just Ethan running around through the beginning of the game for half an hour was a genius move.
its almost like another first person survival horror demo came out around the same time to inspire them
RE7 is fine, good game but it feels a bit too long.
RE8 just sucks, they tried to do RE4 again but ethan doesn't have the charisma Leon has. Also the villain are lame and the factory is so bad.
How did everyone forget the theorizing about Ethan being a mould zombie back when 7 came out? It was clearly stated in notes about the stages of infection and why he hallucinates Evelin (infected as soon as he got into the guest house) and how he can re-attach limbs with some plant juice.
It seriously pisses me off how everyone thinks now that it's some asspull that 8 came up with. 8 has much bigger problems than Chadthan Mouldman
People assume that he got cured in the ending.
I mean End of zoe pretty much shows that blue umbrella had a cure.
The fuzz is that he actually died when he could just be infected.
It's implied in RE8 that everybody except Ethan was aware he was perfectly integrated with the mold and were hiding it to slowly make him into a super soldier. Only Chris was opposed and wanted Ethan to just give up on fighting. It's good subtext.
>7
Last 2 hours are fricking dogshit and a lot the story is moronic if you think about it but most of the game is really good. I'm tempted to play it on madhouse difficulty but I've heard the changes basically cut off after you leave the house for the first time and I reallyyyyy don't wanna play those last 2 hours again.
>8
Didn't play it.
7 was a good attempt to revitalize the franchise after RE6 and decade of slop ruined it. It has problems, but it's okay.
8 was a bad attempt to get a new kind of slop going.
How did the Village developers looked at RE4, decided to copy it, and DIDN'T add varied weapon upgrades?
Also each and every Lord was wasted.
>Play RE4R
>Zombies are just fat spaniards muttering about gringos and some guy named Saddler
>Wilderness areas just make it feel like God of War With Guns
this is one of the best games ever?
What if I like the good RE games like RE4 and RE5? I don't care for the slow pace of survival horror, so 7 and the OG series was really boring to me. And I didnt care for the action gameplay of RE6.
As someone who really liked RE4, what's the next best RE game?
Is 8 worth playing
>What if I like the good RE games like RE4 and RE5?
Don't open your replies like that.
Dont care because I'm not a fan of the series.
I think the series sucks and it just has 1 exceptional game.
8 is worth playing I'd say, yes. Inspired by RE4, obviously inferior but hey you get to explore another European country with quips and super bosses.
Frick off away from this franchise right now. You've got a million other options, if you just want to carelessly shoot monsters.
VII is kino, Village is ok. Think of them like RE4 and 5, VII being 4, and Village being 5.
Both are dogshit horror games but at least 8 is dumb fun. 7 sucks and takes itself too seriously. The only decent portion of the game is about the first 2 hours and then it falls off a cliff. 8 falls off a cliff too, but it's a much smaller fall.
>re6 is.....LE BAD!!!
YES.
YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S CURSED
I’M SICK OF BUGS
Clairebear
>7
best VR horror game yet. only good for a single playthrough.
>8
only good for a single playthrough. Continuing the story of giga moron Ethan Winters is great though.
>hello my name is Ethan Winters and my wife is a globe hopping international baby sitter. Well, she was until she disappeared on her last job. I got a strange message and found her at a house where she was behaving erratically. She chopped off my arm but it was ok, my arm got stapled back on and got some juice poured on it.
>Anyway, I found a bunch of weird documents about highly infectious mold that seem to transform people into monsters. I fought a bunch of weirdos and got out with my wife then some spec ops guy helped us.
>After we moved we had a kid and my wife started telling my daughter local fables despite only arriving in the area recently. She also got better at cooking and began cooking meals she's never made before. also she keeps asking for anal.
The house with the doll boss really fricks up the pacing of the game during replays.
They really need to stop it with the mandatory non-gameplay sections, both 7 and 8 are guilty of this.
Scary on first run, an annoyance if you want to replay it fully knowing what happens & what to do. They should have just added a skip (only possible on ng+) such as breaking an early doll to kill her and skip the entire thing.
forgettable.
fellas, am I evil if I think the factory on 8 was KINO?
Honestly it was alright
By no means the best part of the game but some of the visuals were cool and the action was decent
7 is ok but has shit final part that goes on for too long
8 is just shit and only the art is good
Ethan Winters is the best vg protagonist of all time. He had sex with Miranda-- his NEMESIS-- probably dozens of times. He's the only Capcom character who has sex AND knows what sex is. He also drops the most epic one liners, and is a good dad who doesn't afraid of anything. LITERALLY NO ONE CAN COMPETE
hilarious image, mind if I save it?
You may save it
This guy gets it
I still don't get so many people complaining about the 2nd half of 7, for me that's when it stops being Outlast and they finally say
>No more shackles, you can go play killing the monsters
Before that it was constant wienerblock hiding from Jack / Marguerite / playing as Mia with no weapons and the annoying ship with nearly all doors blocked
It's refreshing to just grab your ammo and kill everything moving forward.
Although the lack of a final boss was moronic. Your final boss is fighting 2 fat zombies at the same time, wow.
It sucks because it's mines. Nobody wants to play in mines.
7 bretty gud until you get to the boat then drops off hard.
DLC is great.
8 drops off super hard past the castle where the middle 2 sections feel completely unfinished. Picks up a bit during the foundry part.
>Resident Evil has fallen it’s over
I like how this screencap implies that RE isn't a normalgay franchise
>Wasn’t before 4
4 put it on the path of turning into Call of Duty level slop
RE sold millions of copies and had two Hollywood movies before 4 came out, it's about as mainstream as you can get
Further games should have remained like 4, it wasn't intended to be full action that's why they intentionally didn't let you shoot and walk at the same time and the setting was scary enough.
Even if 4 didn't exist, Capcom would have tried to ape Call of Duty around 2010 because that's why all horror franchises do for the decades, they try to copy whatever is popular at the moment.
Also I think Shinji Mikami didn't do 5- he knew how to do more games like 4, it was the sweet spot between horror and action, after getting out of the RE franchise he went on to do 2 Evil Within games that keep that same duality of enough gameplay + enough darkness
No, Resident Evil should have stayed like the classics but updated the formula. 4 wasn’t in anyway a survival horror the enemies drop ammo for god’s sake and it also killed of Umbrella in the stupidest way possible.
how come Leon is some other guy in and 2/4R but in Dead Island he's still Matt Mercer?
Matt Mercer is a great Leon.
Just sucks that in Vendetta he's a mopey git and not the cool calm Leon we all know and love.
Shame he's not voicing the main games.
Did it scare you?
Yes, babies are unpleasant, especially when they're a thousand pounds and want to eat you. Also gave me my biggest panic moment trying to hide under the bed and Ethan wants to play hopscotch everytime you try to duck.
Why did they memory hole Revelations?
God, I hope so, Barry Burton raising a little girl possesed by Albert Wesker's secret sister is too moronic, even for Resident Evil.
But anon who will Rosemary Winters fight against when CAPCOM in desperation renounces their claim the Winters Story is over?
I don't like them bringing the "super powered little girls" back as protags, they did with Sherry in 6, they did it Rose for that DLC.
How long before Manuela Hidalgo is back, shooting fire out of her hands?
Nucapcom team didn't play even games they remade
Both are great for different reasons
>one girl
>one line in the whole game
>best in the whole series
I actually felt bad Jack is still conscious of what he's doing and can't stop it at all.
Outlastslop
They aren't Resident Evil games. Just bad Outlast reskins with CoD elements as well as some blatant knock off ideas from SAW. They are not a "return to the series' roots" in the slightest. It's a huge marketing lie. "RE"7 has 3 enemy types the entire game, zero relation to the entire franchise plotwise outside of two or so files you find which are literally one or two sentences each, the DLC is just more CoD shit, "Chris" is nothing like Chris from either classic RE or newer RE at all, retcons him into working for Umbrella.
"RE"8 is just a very bad CoD reskin trying desperately to be RE4 and failing every step of the way. The plot is truly pants on head moronic and more supernatural than RE should ever be, same clunky gameplay from 7. Lots of retons of established RE lore conflicting heavily with Spencer's motivations for immortality when Miranda finds it first he suddenly doesn't want it. Making Umbrella the good guys and BSAA the badguys is just terrible writing. Both of these games show that the creators never once touched a real game in the franchise.
Both games are a prime example of very forced stealth marketing on Ganker because the threads always started the same, similar typing styles, similar posts every single time on both games releases and rand rampant for months. We've also had a FF15 Barry tier schizo spamming his defense of these games for years.
Ethan is pretty much a non-charcter and easily the worst protagonist in the series history. Thankfully he's dead and these garbage games will go largely ignored now. They also really want out of their way to uglify everyone as much as possible for both games. They wanted mass western audience appeal.
Take long anough RE6 cuck...the threads was getting boring without you kek
>bawwww he didn't like what I like that must mean he likes re6!!!!!
This is console war schizo behavior here lol
Cry moar you are easy to find out.
You are too predicable using the same buzzwords over and over.Trying to pretend you are multiple people is aldso a old a s frick tactic.
>Lots of retons of established RE lore conflicting heavily with Spencer's motivations for immortality when Miranda finds it first he suddenly doesn't want it.
Man, that made me mad: "I have the right to be a God!!!!","Oh this random woman I know became an immortal god-like being by falling ass first into a cave fungus? I don't care about that, I'm going to spend 80 years trying to develop a godhood giving virus using a flower that africans use to either die or become slightly stronger."
Yeah I noticed a lot of this in RE8's writing. It's some of the worst cases of retconning I've ever seen outside of american capeshit.
Lel relax...they gonna fix it in Remake 5 kek
The whole god line will change.
With the "soft reboot" form onwards, does that means that the remakes are now the mainline canon?
if so, i hope the ¨remake changes basically everything, make it a game about Leon and Chris crossing paths while having different objectives for the same target, like Leon is tasked with capturing the terrorists lead scientist while Chris is trying to kill him or something, also, no Jake, Sherry or clone Ada.
Well said, nu-Resident Evil sucks
This criticism should be said more often, RE8 is too fricking supernatural, it doesn't feel like Resident Evil at all. Fighting werewolves, flying vampires that turn into little bugs, a fricking dragon, a werewolf with a giant hammer riding a horse, Miranda herself. It's like Dark Souls or something.
Oh, and Heisenberg is literally Magneto, just a normal man with superpowers and some vaguely related animal to justify it.
>we just injected electric eel genes and now he has magnetic superpowers, super strength and regeneration
Uh OK? The series made it a point through 20 videogames that it isn't that fricking easy to reproduce a perfect specimen like Wesker who could get superpowers while remaining fully human and in control and Heisenberg is even more OP having complete dominion over metal
The creators never once touched a previous game in the series and it shows.
They probably watched the movies and tried to do an Alice with Heisenberg, since she has telekinesis
Yeah I can see a lot of Anderson film influence in 8 it's inexcusably bad.
Actually WE ALREADY HAD SOMEONE WITH ELECTRIC EEL VIRUS, PIERS. He still turned into half an ugly mutant that would probably be unable to live a normal life, in fact he was fighting the virus to stay conscious, normally he'd have just transformed into a mindless eel monster. That's how the RE franchise usually went, you can't just inject stuff from animals and gain superpowers.
careful now, Ethanschizo is going to call you an RE6gay for even daring to criticize his zoomertuber reaction video game.
We've been talking about RE7 and 8 for years by this point.
Why do you think everything is a shill tactic?
Not really even shilling anymore it's more like this now if anything.
Just one guy obsessed with spending years of his life camping a site to defend a bad game regardless of the criticism.
Yes anon only one person on this whole site likes RE7 and 8
That's not what was implied. It was in reference to Ethanschizo who actually believes everyone that hates 7 and 8 is one person. He defends the games like it's his job and he does it for free. FF15 has Barry, DmC has umbralalchemist, then there's ACgay, and Ethanschizo. We have some very mentally unwell people here that frequent this site.
There's more than one Ethan Poster anon
I'm one of many.

Most of us here aren't obsessed with defending crappy things as a calling in life so you do you I guess.

Yes, FPSlop RE is over.
Man you're just as dumb as the DmC guy defending the game in youtube comments. UmbralAlchemist I think? Touch grass my guy.
lol you wish it was the same dude. Face it-- Ethan is based as frick and the best RE character
He isn't even a character you mental midget...
Demake is a troony word to reflect on their butchered destroyed bodies. This is used by zoomers with infected axe wounds.
The only game that truly needs a remake is Code Veronica. It held the crown of worst game in the franchise at least until 7 and 8 were released.
Someone never played Revelations 2, While the gameplay is decent in a slightly upgraded RE5 way, the plot is awful, like, Anderson levels of bad.
I feel 7 and 8 had some good choices in atmosphere but that's about it. They don't really fit the rest of the series at all it's weird.
I think people saying & is a "return to form" because Ethan is just a normal guy going against monsters forget that the protags of the first game were super cops, S.T.A.R.S. made SWAT teams look like mall cops.
>RE7 is a return to the series roots
Funny I don't recall fighting drunk hillbillies in a card in a cramped garage in RE1 or RE2.
You fight a giant zombie shark and snake in RE1
Don't act like RE is above silly boss fights.
That's arguably the least silly part of the entire franchise. Scientists are developing viruses, experiment on animals, and they grow big & powerful. It's really simple. Things start getting out of control when humans get injected the Whatever-virus and turn into fleshy abominations with endless regeneration and transformations.
>hilbilly gets infected
>does crazy hilbilly shit
Works for me. I actually think RE7 had a lot of pathos in it, I evoked actual sadness and terror much better than before, I really felt for Evelyn and the song nailed it. Also the uncanny valley face scan stuff sort of added to it, it was like I was seeing a real story with real people and consequences this time.
It was also moronic. I think it actually has the perfect balance of legit fear and stupid shit, it is a representation of the whole series.
OH I agree, I was mostly talking about previous games with tons of flesh out of nowhere like 6 and 5 and even 4.
I like what 7 was going for, yeah it managed to evoke a realer sense of stakes closer to the first games, perhaps even better because you get a sense of who these people actually were.
is the leaked Hunk project cancelled? I think an extra hard game with him as the lead would be pretty cool.
Still waiting for RE5R to confirm that somehow Wesker survived
I would rather have him survive whatever means Chris use to kill him in the 5 remake than the bullshit they did since 5.
They got so deperate for the Wesker touch in these games, that twice they brought in his secret family, in 6 he has a secret son as a protag, and in Revelations 2 he has a secret sister that "dies" but has actually download her mind into the body of Barry's new adopted daughter.
Alex was mentioned in RE5 though she wasn't a secret made up just for Revelations 2.
7 is one of the worst games ever made. Didn't even bother finishing it, probabky didn't even get an 8th the way in. Just past the car shit.
Didn't play 8. Looks shit. The series should be stopped and deleted. It won't though because jaos have no soul.
moron
VII was alright. Felt like an A24 production of an amateur filmmaker with a lot of promise made on like a $1,500,000 budget more than a video game. Village had a lot more potential and a pretty good conceptual idea, but I personally thought bringing back Ethan, let alone Chris, was a mistake.
Honestly I just kinda wish the series would bow out. It seems restricted by its own fame at this point. I would love a survival-horror Far Cry game with the atmosphere of Village. Far Cry's erratic open world gameplay crossed over with limitations created by horrific, supernatural entities. Create a context where leaving a hub area's walls is genuinely terrifying and the need to conserve ammunition, Mist-style baby.
>restricted by its own fame
Exactly. I wish the franchise had gone the route of slasher movies and some legacy characters actually got killed in sequels so there can be stakes that things can go wrong in the series, like we don't expect the game's villain to actually succeed in infecting the world but hor about killing Chris / Jill / slashing one arm off Leon (he can come back with a cool robotic prosthetic in later entries) or someone else I might have forgotten.
There's also the fact the only development all these characters get is
>Traumatized depressed soldier because of so many years dealing with the undead / losing comrades
I'd rather have Leon be frustrated because he wants to be a painter or a singer and decides to quit to pursue his dreams, and Ashley Graham takes his role as a super agent.
I'm so glad capcom will never listen to moronic homosexual ideas like this.
Well said it's for the youtube reaction video making audience of zoomer trannies that get LE HECKIN SCARED BY THE SAWARINO and shit it's garbage.
I'm not a writer but neither are the people handling RE.
I just wish there was more progression and character. Devil may cry, metal gear, god of war 1-2-3, yakuza, I feel like tons of other games show more of a narrative as you go on, but RE characters are mostly unchanged with no goals beyond destroying zombies, no changes in what they do or their lives.
They just need to leave FPSlop out of RE. It's not Cawadoody.
I haven't finished either. Got bored with 7 at the swamp house and didn't like how linear and scripted 8 felt so I stopped right after the castle.
7 was mediocre.
8 was pretty good.
7 is one of my favorite games of all times and the release was fricking awesome with the demo that got deeper and deeper every time you played and finally you beat it and got an in game item for 7. The hype was real. Fps re was one of the best ever made. I fricking love 7 more than any other re game. Even 2 on ps1 which is just atmospherically kino all together. 7 and the time It came out and the advertising just felt great in the moment and the game was just as good as the hype
That being said 8 I was hyped for but also not into gaming as much as I was for 7. And when 8 launched it had tons of issues with optimization and I didn't get to watch the cut scenes cause they ran at 10gps while the audio was normal. It was all fricked up and ruined the game for me. Gameplay was fine. Was hyped for the new monsters and zombies but haven't played since I best it at launch with the optimization problems. I have a 3060ti so frick off with the shit pc comments. I guess 8 was good? I don't really know. Couldn't get immersed cause they fricked the launch up. Will play again in 3rd person when dlc is cheap af
>hyping up the advertizing
>shilling
you can stop it's been YEARS.
7 was 2000s horror distilled into a game. If you like 2000s horror and what it did in remakes of shit like Texas Chainsaw Massacre then you'll like 7. I hated 7, because I hate 00s horror, and because I feel it utterly misses the point of what made Resident Evil good. Resident Evil has a section about schlepping back and forth across a mansion to grab and bring back some anti-venom to heal a buddy. In Resident Evil 7 bodily injury and physical trauma don't interrupt the (shitty) plot at all! If you're the perhaps the sort of salt of the earth type, mainly into torture and meaningless violence, the kind of guy that enjoys Saw movies, you'll love Resident Evil 7 too!
It's shit.

Will there ever be a medieval RE game going over the original 4 Lords and the battles and invasions that took place in the region of the Village?
The lords in the game were fake lord's right? Or they were descendants of the original lord's?
Discarded, sorry. If you read the concept art that unlocks after beating the game, they mention the original idea was to also play some flashback levels showing the past of the Village when it first started but it didn't happen
Important question, how many times did Ethan take mother Miranda to pound town?
Now that I think, it's weird that Ethan fricked Miranda several times and it didn't mean anything to her as she kills him in cold blood
Just more wasted potential. They say she's been posing as his wife for an unknown amount of time and it plays no fricking part on the story, neither of them seem to care they were in a relationship.
Ethan had been sharing moments and sleeping with her for months and likewise I doubt Miranda had gotten any action for the past decades, being traumatized and all by the loss of her kid and doing inhuman experiments in some far away country, living with Ethan and getting fricked should have been the warmest experience she's had, a return to normalcy. You'd expect some special treatment or dialogue about how she'd rather not kill him.
>no ending where Ethan corrects her via impregnation
wasted opportunity
>BLABLABLA THE ULTIMATE POWER BLABLABLA YOUR DAUGHTER BLABLABLA YOU'LL DIE HERE
>"You were drinking my cum a week ago, b***h"
No way to respond without sounding mad
>Your last words were "SPIT IN MY MOUTH"
As with most cases involving female villains, impregnation was the answer all along.
I prefer 8 to 7
7 gets pretty boring after Jack
8 is interesting the whole way through
gimme a herb, man
No more herbs, Marvin.
Can we talk about the RE4 post credits, especially with the extra details added in by Separate Ways?
>Wesker basically looks at the camera and says "complete global saturation"
>picture of Excella on his monitor
This seems to imply RE5make to me. It doesn't really add anything to the story of RE4make, so the only reason to include it would be as a teaser. However:
>Ada hijacks the helicopter and decides not to deliver the plaga sample
Which implies that they may be going in a different direction with RE5make? It'll still be about stopping Wesker from Wesking the whole planet with Ouroboros, but maybe it doesn't involve any Las Plagas shenanigans anymore.
Also:
>Separate Ways reveals that Wesker was just chilling in a boat offshore
>he even went on the island at one point
What the frick was that about??
>What the frick was that about
Complete local saturation
>but maybe it doesn't involve any Las Plagas shenanigans anymore.
So him having Krauser's corpse at the end, didn't mean anything to you?
Yeah fair point. Before Separate Ways it seemed like they were gunning for RE5make to not have Las Plagas. They did a lot of work to justify Wesker not getting access to them. Separate Ways completely doubles back on that, though, and gives 9,000 new justifications that overwrite the old ones. Maybe they changed course or something.
BILLIONS
To save trillions
I like them both a lot. VII gets kind of bad after the main house wheras VIII kind of keeps the quality throughout. Although I think VII is still the scarier game.
i wonder how bad they're gonna frick up sheva in re5 when they remake it. she was kinda cute for a black girl but now they're going to have to make her ugly
They're gonna get that bulge eyed negress from the new Wolfenstein and Jedi survivor games
i guarrantee we won't get sheva and her tribal uniform if they do it.
>wolfenstein tier
honestly this would probably be done to appease white women the most. white women seem to be all for diversity providing the white characters are the most attractive in the game. having someone look like sheva looked with cause a massive shitstorm
I hope they keep some of the alt outfits
>approaches redfields jeep while he's deep in thought in tribal paint alt outfit
welcome to africa mr redfield
honestly all the main characters look great in re5, they should keep it that way
7 was alright, 8 sucked, first person truly sucks and I wish they’d touch on the southern gothic aesthetic again in third person, drop first person for Rose. Playing the new Separate Ways now and the music is so much better than main game, moronic.
Leon really should have impregnated Claire and gave up on that Oriental bimbo
7 OK during Jack Baker section, and to a lesser degree with Lucas.
8 Lame main story, cool Rose DLC (I teared up a little at times).
Neither of them feel like Resident Evil, both feel like Bioshock spiritual succesors. Even RE4, 5 and 6 didn't failed as much in feeling like Resident Evil.
Not real resident evil games. FACT.
asiaticified homosexual shit. Anyone promoting it should be butchered to death along with everyone who allowed them an existance.
