There's more music towards the end of the game, but it's not great. The menu theme and save theme are godly though and most of the ambient and boss stuff are good too.

Sign me up for this game basically had no music. When there was it was pretty forgetful since it was primarily atmospheric. Which works for this game. But I definitely would have preferred some more "catchy" tracks like older RE games.
Damn, that jumpscare when
got me really hard. I'm usually not a big fan of jumpscares but I think this game does it right by not making excessive use of them (got maybe three until now).
I'm now at the part
(at a bit more than 7 hours in). I guess I'm close to the end now.
"Spider"-Marguerite attacks you through the window when you walk up the stairs
I'm now at the part
where you have to repair the elevator on the ship. I'm playing Mia.
Ethan dropping dead and the location change caught me by surprise. The last videotape was good but otherwise the ship section so far is a bit of a drop in quality compared to the rest of the game.
First playthrough? Reload speed. Helps a lot more than extra health.

Sadly the quality goes down further. I thought the
ship
I guess I worded it a little incorrectly in my enthusiasm to do that write up. Atmpspheric sound design, minimalism and creating tension when it's needed. Loved the closing song too. So yeah maybe 'sound design' not 'soundtrack' but what music there was I loved it.

I always get the Stabilizer (faster reload). You can find a few steroids in the world later on, Magnum is optional.

Since we are talking about soundtrack..

needs to be the closing song/theme of the Zoe DLC. The lyrics even match certain events.

it wouldn't feel so similiar to RE:Revelations.

Two and a half hours of music for the game that has no music, Resident Evil 7
Yeah again it's mostly atmospheric, but I don't discredit it because of that. I like atmospheric, subtle music as much as "catchier" music just in a different way.

I never played the first Revelations, but based on what I've seen of it I definitely see the similarities.

Sure Capcom, Ethan is just a "normal" everyday guy 
His pain tolerance makes Chris Redfield look like a wimp.

He could've been in a state of shock after losing his hand, and later he becomes infected so, like uh- I have no medical training.
Yup, felt the same. The last area is all squandered potential to me.

So you shouldn't really be fighting most enemies in this game, since they either take all your ammo to just temp stun them or kill anything? Shooting anything seems like a waste so far

Pretty much, I started on Normal for my first go and ended up using A LOT of ammo on those fucking molded, so then I learned to just run away from them. I also enjoy the panic-induced nature of trying to solve puzzles, explore, and make progress in general while trying to stay lowkey and losing them, but knowing they're still around. Some sections have been batshit insanely scary because of this.

They give you enough ammo to pretty much kill anything. But sometimes it's best to avoid them, especially early on.

The molded only eat ammo if you aren't hitting them in the head. But hitting them in the head is a fucking chore until the shotgun. Although block > knife actually works, and saves a ton of ammo. It just depends on how much you really want to use a restoration item after every few encounters. You can also duck under their elongating thrust attack as long as they aren't on a lower plane than you. In the areas that you don't have to constantly backtrack in, or there's only one at a time (and you actually have ROOM to get beyond them), running is usually optimal.
I killed everything. There's one part early on that is a little rough but I managed, madhouse probably makes it more important but the game gives you more than enough ammo to handle everything otherwise.

Just finished it. What an amazing game. I have to finish it again but overall I think I'd rate it 9/10. loved the return to classic exploation of the enviroments most. Felt so great
Shooting to me some time to get into but I think it is intended as otherwise the game would probably be too easy. Also, the story took some time to get interesting but I'm ok with how it played out.
Can't believe that I'm satisfied with every revamp Capcom has done to my favourite series. Hope this sells real well and they get the series back on track.

The experiences of those playing the RE7 on the PSVR are absolutely fascinating and incredible to me. I've not been into gaming for years but I can imagine how utter incredible games could be If I was "in" the games. I would love to play my favourite games like Goldeneye and the Halo games in VR and be in those games.
Kind of on topic, horror is my favourite genre and VR and horror games like RE7 would be like I'd travelled to the future almost.

I was not expecting Resident Evil to
...Wow
Don't get me wrong, it good but I'm at the
I'm waiting for the connection, RE has been crazy but always been a virus to explain everything.
This is a little harder to digest in Resident Evil's world, anyway gotten keep playing as I want the Bakers explanation now lol.
rip off Silent Hill
Don't get me wrong, it good but I'm at the
ship and so far its Chainsaw massacre/Evil Dead/Silent Hill.

I just beat it.
I have to admit, it was a pretty fun romp, but nothing special. Just another tick in the franchise, in my opinion.

That's where i'm at. However if RE8 can fix a lot of the issues I had. That could be something truly great.

Margaruite's boss fight in VR almost made me s*it my pants. Loving the game so far and will buy the season pass.

Ok, but ya gotta admit
the Girl is from Silent Hill, actually Silent Hill the movie with all the black shit
Are you right before the keycode door? You should be able to go back. In the main house, it's in the room behind a crow door. It's not necessary on Normal playthrough, but more guns is always better.
And where you currently are, you're nearing a point of no return. Might want to get all the ammo/items/etc. from the previous areas you can.

Half way through madhouse. It started off a lot worse than it became. Mia was hell for me, Jack a pain. But once I settled in and started to manage stuff well Its classic RE. I was hoping for a lot more remixing. There are a few awesome, oh what thats different moments, but so far its just a few random items in different spots. Almost none of the main stuff has changed, the structure is basically the same. A few more enemies here and there. I was hoping for a really big mix up, key items in different locations and stuff. Maybe do parts in a different order.
Still its a ton of fun. Definitely the more traditional RE approach. I am playing it like a new file, not using any of the unlockable stuff.

It's like a new fuckin game, props to Capcom for this (at least considering that other developers don't even attempt shit like this anymore)
And yes, chase sequence are 10 times worse
Ergh, I can barely even get into the start of this, I'm at the edge of the mansion but I really just don't want to go inside. Feeling far too fucking tense like I'll explode the second something actually happens.
Does it ramp up pretty quick/hit you with any particularly bad scares at the beginning?
First person is fucking me up, never had a problem with the horror elements of RE before because they were always 3rd person or fixed camera so at least nothing will come directly at your face.

If you have more ammo than health, shoot (aim for the head). If you have more health than ammo, dodge past (even if it means taking a blow, guarding mitigates damage a lot).
Standard RE, really.

That's not even the mansion. It's more like the tutorial house
. Some mild tutorial spoilers ahead.There is nothing in the house that can hurt or scare you, just some spooky noises that's all. There is a video you'll have to watch/play and people will die at the end there. All scripted, nothing you can do. After that you're safe for another 10-15 minutes (there is just one jump scare in the water) and then the game starts, right after exiting the cellar. You'll know when.
Very milde game spoilers:
After that the game is more like the texas chainsaw massacre for the next 2 hours or so, a lot of blood, a lot of gore but not that spooky. This will change of course with every part/level of the game. There is even a Jigsaw like part... a few hours later.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Whelp. That covers the speed run. Everything besides Madhouse done now.

I love how the game still has some of "Yeah, fuck it right up the ass!!" Capcom cheese lines. Was in the old house
lol
Never change Capcom.
in the tunnel when you see that thing crawling and Ethan goes "What the fuck? That's special"

My favourite line was:
"Who builds this shit?" Right after solving the first shadow puzzle
It made me laugh.

Just picked this up. Is it worth playing the demo before I start though? Do I miss anything if I don't?
Jawmuncher

The demo is short so you should play it. IF you want to do the secret puzzle you get a bonus coin you can use on upgrades.
Yes, and no.
I pull out the computer chair after awhile when i'm tired of just standing on the spot but it's better suited standing for immersion. Absolutely love it.
And, I had the view turning to 7-8
Anything lower seems to give me abit of motion sickness.
But faster helped alot.
Walking up to the Mansion at the start of the game was so awesome,lol

Cool, I'll do just that then. Thanks!
