Resident Evil 7 Spoiler Thread

How does saying "fuck you" or being taunted by the enemy count as levity? Sure didn't make me crack a smile or anything like some of the stuff in previous games.
This post is not groovy




my top five moments -

Garage fight
Finding the save room near the basement
Chainsaw duel
Spider Marg
Old House 2F

I like the boat area quite a bit once the tape ends (more than the barn) but it doesn't have as many unique and fun moments.
 
Just saw the Zoe ending on youtube, not a fan. Doesnt even add anything to Zoe's past.

How would Evie even kill / cocoon her if she took the serum?
 
Rev1:
Bland Chris for half the game ignoring Jessica till he hooks up with his real partner.

RE5:
Depressed Chris
-villain Jill
-> Chris has a good outlook.

RE6:
Chris decided to take a demotion for some reason.
-Carla fucks him up
->Asshole drunk amnesiac Chris
->Depressed Chris v2
->Reckless asshole Chris
->Bout to retire Chris
->Okay to kill me because I killed Wesker Chris
->Sad and depressed Chris v3
->Reinvigorated Chris

RE7/RE8:
->Evil Chris

please no.

RE7/8 looks fine if you do this

->Punished Chris
 
I like that capcom gives you hope that Clancy is still alive listing him as "L" in the list. I thought that was for "lost" turned out it was Lucas :(

I like how he kills Mia. That should be the canon course of things. Really the multiple endings wasn't needed.

Should've been Jack shows up, fucks up the house. Which flings Zoe to an unknown location making her fate ambiguous. You fight jack, get on the boat and all that happens. But once you switch back to ethan you have to kill Mia and then everything else and you beat the game.
 
I'm curious how the series will play some of its organization stuff in the future, they now are setting up several different groups for the future. I wonder how they plan to play them all off as we're finally getting to a point where it feels like we're moving away from "villain of the week" and more to something bigger over the series.

I won't be surprised if they have all corps fighting each others a.k.a virus wars (T-virus vs E-series or some shit like that) at the climax.

Yes!! This game has a lot of little touches like that. I wonder if the DLC will feel fleshed out or rushed at this point. I may have to buy the season pass.

I for sure don't regret the money I spent on this game at all tho
 
lol. Man I cant believe that can actually happen. Same for the cut off limbs... really wish I had gotten at least one (not counting the hand of course) :(

On Normal, you can head straight for the car and start it. On Madhouse, you have to shoot at him for a bit or else he'll pull you out and enter the car himself. He'll even do it if you didn't get the car keys and don't kill him fast enough while he's walking. (I guess he keeps a spare set on him)
 
...


I obviously didn't see the tape...I bet you it was in the most obvious location and I still couldn't find it

oh damn. it was in a closet up in Lucas room or near it. Open all doors damn you! :p

how did you even get past that then? did you just do it once, died, and did it again knowing the padlock pass the second time?

Yeah, that garage fight has to be my top moment. It's great that either he or you can drive the car. Or you then he, if he pulls you out. And by the end both of you are driving the car. So good.

There's a death scene I saw in the Garage fight recently (been watching other people play RE7) I had not seen before where Jack kills you by grabbing you by the throat, snapping Ethan's neck, and then throws you to the ground saying, "I dunno what she ever saw in you."

Love how many easy to miss things there are in that fight, and other parts of the game.
 
I feel outside of the Happy Birthday Tape moment, there was some missed opportunities with Lucas. Well, hopefully maybe in the future he can be used better as Lucas was the one that got away. I would've loved if Lucas' location wasn't a farmhouse full of explosives, but rather some rave haunted house with weird traps/puzzles and a haunted house thematic.

That would've been so much better.

Still think Lucas had the weakest segment of the game. Thought the tape was just "fine" too, surprised to see so many naming it as a highlight.

It's an actual puzzle that requires you to think outside the box, instead of rotating three off-kilter paintings in a cabin.
 
umbrella logo was blue too, not red.

NuUmbrella good guys incoming.
 
So is the girl from the demo supposed to be Evelyn or is that someone else. The girl that shows up in the demo is not seen in the game so I'm just wondering if that's her and it's just a different model for the demo.

Neo New Crystal Vanilla Umbrella Classic Max

Is it may? April is spring after all

It May...be in April

Don't think about it too hard it may have just been an easter egg for the demo
 
Just finished the game for the first time about an hour and a half ago and I'm still trying to process the whole "I'm Redfield"/Chris Redfield end credit thing (When I saw that Umbrella logo on the copter I was like oh hell no you didn't.....but now it's kinda got me curious, is that really Chris Redfield or an imposter?, If it is Chris is he really working for Umbrella and why?, Or is the logo an off-shoot/fake version of the company logo (I don't recall the Umbrella logo ever being blue) meant to fool us?Hopefully, they will address this with the upcoming DLC cause if they don't I'm gonna be really disappointed.

As for my overall impressions/thoughts, well, I really liked the game more than I expected to and I especially dug that it had that (imo) old school RE vibe (with the puzzles that required multiple parts to find, item boxes, exploring a giant house, etc.) but with a more modern first person perspective (and after seeing that someone had modded the PC version of this game to bring in elements of Remake in the game's in-game engine I now want Capcom to release a version of Remake done with this game's game engine) and while it imo did have some issues (mainly with parts of the story like what happened to Lucas, more background info on Mia & Ethan, and the whole choice thing midway through the game that depending on your choice really goes nowhere and some missed opportunities for some really awesome set pieces like the rave looking building that looked like it was gonna be the site for a kickass boss battle turning out to be a bland, boring, & essentially boss less barn or a potential boss fight with a mutated Mia) I'd still say that (for the moment at least) it would pop up in my top 5 of favorite RE games.

Top 5 favourite moments:
1. The opening fight with crazed Mia
2. The whole Garage scene/boss fight
3. The Morgue boss fight
4. The Greenhouse boss fight
5. The Happy B-day tape
 
Finally finished. Enjoyed it a lot, but the boss battles were mostly shit lol. I had no idea if I was damaging the last boss actually... I just kept firing with the magnum. I also died two times to big-mutated-jack because I didnt know space bar could dodge his attacks :D

mainly with parts of the story like what happened to Lucas, more background info on Mia & Ethan, and the whole choice thing midway through the game that depending on your choice really goes nowhere and some missed opportunities for some really awesome set pieces like the rave looking building that looked like it was gonna be the site for a kickass boss battle turning out to be a bland, boring, & essentially boss less barn or a potential boss fight with a mutated Mia

this is the unmarked spoiler thread mate :)
 
Doing the 3 box challenge (on easy mind you) and so far it's actually a lot easier then I was expecting. Just killed Margerite which is definitely the hardest part, now it's a free ride to the birthday party and when I get to use the item box I can grab my infinite ammo.

In the bag baby.
