Banned Footage vol.1 is decent fun. Vol.2 is kinda ass. Daughters is really short and way too linear/easy puzzle thing without any replay value outside of getting true/bad end, 21 is blackjack with some fun new trump cards but it is still just blackjack and Jacks 55th birthday is actually fun arcade style mode.
Can I preemptively nominate the RE7 Machine Gun for the next GAF "Worst Machine Guns in Games" thread? Holy cow is this thing terrible. I have fired what felt like entire clips directly into regular molded 2m away from me and they still close in and damage me before I can finish them off.

Yeah it lack any real power. Just feels like a pistol that shoots a longer clip.

"daughters" from the dlc is worth buying imo. it's essentially a 35 minute prologue, can be played in VR, and is scary. "bedroom" is quite cool also, a room escape type level (which can be finished in about 30 minutes also). "21" is a card game, fun to play once. "nightmare" (survive for 4 nights, building traps), "ethan must die" (survive where everything is randomized and there are traps and there's an objective), and "jack's birthday"(find food to feed him) are gameplay modes which have unlockable replay value. i tried them all once but wasn't that interested. there should be 3 more pieces of dlc and, separately, a new free story level. if the season pass price is good and you liked the game, you won't feel bad by supporting the developers and getting it.

I liked it on Normal. It's when I got to Madhouse that I realized it was kind of shitty. Takes way too much ammo to kill anything.
Agree with most of what you said, especially on the VR... I figured going to regular would make my speed run easier but aiming and immersion wasn't on the same level so looks like I'll be playing the whole thing in VR. My time in the end of my first run was almost 14 hours and I felt like I was playing at the pace it was meant to be played
Edit: I also thought
Mutant Jack was the last boss, then the boat was sort of a final chapter, so to see it keep going to the Mines, Lab, etc. kind of dragged it down a little for me
I really disagree with daughters being worth buying. It offers hardly anything gameplaywise and you are done it with that 30 minutes. Might as well watch it on YT since you won't miss almost anything by doing that.

A bit of a problem I haven't seen elsewhere:
Completed Madhouse a while back and
Started an easy run today to go for the item box and healing item trophies, and so far at the point of entering the main basement. There has been no
thus far.
Am I missing an option? Available on only a certain difficulty?

On the
boss fight.
Died twice and on my third attempt I thought I had him beat.
Read some guides and none of them mention this part?
Jack Boathouse
Died twice and on my third attempt I thought I had him beat.
He started convulsing on the ground and disappeared into the water. A cutscene occured where he burst out and dragged me under water and I couldn't move, only shoot at one remaining eye but he attacks too fast and I died.... Super annoyed.

Are you blocking? You take next to no damage.
Beat this today. Took me 10hrs. I think it's a solid entry but it didn't really bring anything new to the table. Felt like they copy pasted the formula of the old games, sprinkled in a pinch of Clock Tower, and put it into first person. Biggest complaint is that the game gives you way, way too many supplies. Has always been a problem of the series except for maybe REmake and Zero. And there's only like 3 different regular enemies.
It isn't as atmospheric as the classic games (sans Veronica X) and the combat isn't nearly as good as 4-6.

. I'm planning to attempt Madhouse soon, will probably start tonight. This game is extremely good and I'm really glad I gave it a shot because I was gonna pass after playing the demo. As soon as it turns from pseudo-Outlast into real deal RE where you're shooting stuff, solving puzzles and exploring the house I was hooked. I kinda wish there had been a full

If they keep first person for the sequel I would like to see more enemy variety and some of the RE4-style context melee attacks come back, even if they make them more "realistic" than Leon's super badassery.
Watching my brother play Madhouse though, I don't really like how the enemies

all become Sonic speed, makes running away from them (especially Jack from what I saw) pretty much impossible and you don't have the resources to just blow them away with firepower

Wait, on madhouse, I can definitely move during that phase of the fight. Am I not remembering normal and easy difficulty correctly? But yeah, if you're pinned, make sure to block when he swings. And save a health item for that part of the fight.

Just got to the ship. I gave the serum to Mia.

(As far as I'm aware...) There's only two story levels left. Not three pieces.
The free DLC we know that's coming and another story pack in the season pass that we know nothing about.

Right. That's what I thought. You can actually get through that part of the fight without getting hit at all.
If he's swinging with his right hand, you run all the way to his right (your left) and he'll miss. You do the opposite if he's swinging with his left hand.
I just finished it yesterday and it was fantastic. By far the best VR game. I've totally enjoyed so many other "experiences" on PSVR so far (Batman, Sports Bar, Wayward Sky, etc.) but this was the real deal. A full, AAA game playable in VR. Not only that, it was a GREAT game! Really engaging, challenging and fun.
I had so many reservations about playing RE7 in VR because a) I'm not usually one to play scary games and b) this is about as scary as it can get. Yet, I found the whole experience so compelling I forced myself over that initial hump and I'm so glad I did! Yes, it was scary. But honestly, it wasn't so bad. I'd compare it to a real life roller coaster ride. When you first get on, you're really nervous. As you're riding it's frightening. But it's also exhilarating and enjoyable and once the ride ends you realize how much fun you just had.
In closing, RE7 is the real deal. A fantastically put together game that would be fun even on a 2D screen with a compelling narrative and characters. But with the addition of PSVR, you are there. You are in this world. You are INSIDE a horror movie. It's an experience unlike anything I've ever had in gaming.
I'm sooo glad that Capcom has said they plan to do more VR. Bring it on!

When is the dlc out on Xbox? I went and rented the game again becuase I thought it would be tonight. But now I'm not so sure
I got my platinum yesterday. Madhouse wasn't that hard with the extras, but I have to say that the final big encounter was challenging either way. First the
I seperated some strong chem fluid from med kits to make more flame rounds, definitely needed them.
Now I'm done. Have to say that it was the first RE since 4 that I just couldn't stop playing.
long-ass climb to the top where it's best to spring past everything, then the two bloaters to finish things off.

Someone recently had a similar issue where the game thought a particular piece of DLC was installed when it in fact wasn't.
I think the best thing to do in that section is to
kill some molded go back and save > go kill some molded and go back and save. You should have bunch of tapes at that point so you should be able to do that.

God fucking dammit. That healing animation in the middle of boss battles is frustrating. STOP LOOKING AT YOUR GOD DAMN HAND!
Pro tip. You can cancel animations with a block. So basically if you heal and press block you get healed and cut the stupid hand look animation. Works even with reloads but you need to constantly look the HUD to make sure it loaded. I was too hasty once and I tried to load grenade launcher but I canceled the animation too early four times lol.
Damn I just disagree with that atmosphere part. I think this is the first game since 2 that really captured that isolated feeling the first 2 presented. The feeling of dread stuck with me almost the entire game.

Grenade launcher is awful. It's only good for stunning
fat molded
disillusion386
Member
Yeah, it's only really useful for the
fat molded (neuro rounds)
I think 7 does a pretty good job but it being first person and having to constantly fling the camera around looking for items versus the cinematic (picturesque?) fixed camera angles of the old games is what does it for me

Completed it tonight. Good game. I think the first 2/3 are much better than the last and the twist was kind of meh.
I liked the atmosphere, the environments, and the first-person perspective the most.
Solid game and a good foundation for future games in the series.
The Baker face turn was very lame.

Really... huh. That was one of my favorite parts. I just loved the Baker characters in general. I thought it added a touch of emotion and humanity to the story.

Supposed to be out on the 24th for Xbox One and PC.

I also liked that scene
I'm going through Madhouse now, just got
with Jack where you see that he was really a nice dude whose whole family got screwed (except Lucas, he was a dick regardless) just for Jack being the Marine that he is and trying to help people in need. It made me feel really bad for how stuff turned out.
I'm going through Madhouse now, just got
outside of the house for the first time, headed to the old house with Marguerite. The Albert-01R is the MVP in this game, especially in Madhouse thus far. Enhanced handgun rounds shred pretty much anything you come across.

I thought the script was actually surprisingly good at least for something like this. I think there's a lot of very quotable dialogue but not in the bad way and pretty well defined characters. I find myself quoting the characters on replays, especially Jack and Lucas and at times Marguerite.

Without spoiling me...
ZOE OR MIA??!? I can't decide!
Mia chainsawed my arm off, which is enough for me to say no, but she clearly didn't know what was going on. But Zoe has been willing to help, but she's been here for a while longer I imagine, and I am afraid of the serum just being "wasted" on her. Without spoiling me, who did you pick and why?
