Nag Posted June 9, 2021 Author Share Posted June 9, 2021 The start of the game feels a little disjointed in my opinion, at least until entering the castle where things settle in to more of a rhythm.Ā Ā The start actually plays better in new game plus.

Maf Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 So meĀ and my mate just finished I think our 4th round of this game. We justĀ Ā Spoiler Put the last flasks in the Altar and on our way to see Magneto This game is super fun. Itās a really great, AAA, casual, roller coaster, action blockbuster game like I havenāt played in a good chunk of time. The attitude in this game is so different to other Resident Evil games it even rubs off on me. Instead of being scared and hoarding ammo Iām throwing everything at everything. Using resources whenever I feel like it. And after any kind of eventĀ the game is there to just give you it all back again. Thanks, game. Ā So many times me and my friend have commented how we haveĀ 12 bullets thenĀ 90 bullets back down to 12 without even noticing. Itās refreshing to actually use weapons in a game like this instead of leaning on the base weapon saving the rest just in case. This game says fuck that. If you donāt use it now you wonāt be able to pick more of it up later. Fun. Ā It was a bit of a rough start today. Picked right back up on the fish boss and that whole section. I betĀ itās fine if you know what to do but itās the only part of the game I died a lot in because I couldnāt figure out the set piece. Ā But after that the game picked up and it was a lot of werewolf action. Really cool. Best fights in the game.Ā Ā I think Iāve picked up nearly everything so far? TheĀ only things I donāt have is a rare animal and one necklace jewel. But there still might be time for that. The only thing Iāve definitely missed is a small bit of water with some fish in. I canāt be assed to go back so I wonāt be getting every recipe on this playthrough but oh well.Ā I was playing this with someone because when I played 7 I literally needed someone to sit there with me. Itās probably the second scariest game Iāve played after PT. So we said weāll do thatĀ again because itās fun with friends and I need the support. This game is a joke, though. The things that happen in the beginning make it almost a horrorĀ comedy. Which might be new for video games. Has a game done that before? HouseĀ of the Dead, I guess.Ā Ā I donāt say that as a negative. Iāve really enjoyed it. But save for the feel of the gameplayĀ and some iconic things like herbs this game feels like itās in a different series. Iāve been really stunned at the turn around from 7 to 8. Iām not sure I can think of a game that had such a drastic departure from one game to the next. At least in terms of tone, story and style.Ā Ā Which leads me to my last thought.Ā Iām not a real Resident Evil fan at all so it doesnāt really move me too much. Even as a casual though what is this series anymore? The last 3 games I played were 7, theĀ 2 Remake and 8. Is Capcom bored or what lol.Ā Ā And it doesnāt matter. Theyāre all kick ass games. Each of them is fantastic. So itās cool. Winning solves everything. And if you keep putting out winners then why stop whatās working. Seriously, though,Ā what is Resident Evil anymore. I canāt think of a less predictable game at this point than Resident Evil 9. Ā 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Capcom bored or what lol.Ā To be honest, I think that is a fair assessment. 7 & 8 are easily good enough to have been a new IP. Aside from Chris Redfield, the ties to the classic series are tenuous at best (storywise, the Spencer connection in 8 fell flat to me). Capcom clearly lost their way with RE6. Which arguably amounted to several demos for different games.Ā Ā They haven't really refocusedĀ that vision with the REmakes either. As by their nature, they don't bring fresh insight into the series future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maf Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Me and my friend finished this game tonight. We both kind of soured on it from the ātankā onwards. Iām not really sure why, though. I think part of it is we had no idea what was going on. Several times one of us let out the equivalent of āWhat?ā But the game kept taking further and further leaps in to nonsense and we got worn out by not just the leaps but also the notĀ understanding them. Ā TheĀ game play might have been overdone as well. It took 11 hours to finish the game so the core gameplayĀ I know I had definitely seen enough of, then at the end itĀ changes things up but I dunno.Ā It was so ridiculous and all over the place it just lost me.Ā Ā Ā I think what maybe also bought it low was that it just kept going. I thought we wereĀ at the end about 4 times and then there was another thing. What is it with Resident Evil games andĀ not knowing when to quit.Ā Ā Iām not sure if Iām struggling to process what happened or Iām left a bit empty because thereās not really anything to process.Ā Overall Iām not sure. At one point I was really high on this game, but being a bit too long and getting very messy now I would put it behind 7 and RE2 Remake by kind of a lot.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfnick Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Started this yesterday.Ā That whole Doll house section was expertly done! Got actual goosebumps at times. Shame it was so small and short but better than outstaying itās welcome.Ā The castle was good too. But Iāve got to say Iām not enjoying this anywhere near as much as 7. I donāt think the village area really adds anything to the experience at all. The castle and house have nothing on areas like the Baker mansion. They feel like small side properties in other games. The characters arenāt anywhere near as interesting yet either. & whereas 7 felt really tense most of the time, apart from the doll house this has basically just been a action game.Ā Ā Thereās so many enemies too! Which is already getting a bit tiresome. Think it says something when my favourite part so far has been where thereās no combat at all.Ā Ā Basically, early impressions are I really like it but itās also a bit disappointing.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfnick Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Completed. Really great game but 7 is far superior.Ā The back 3rd dip which occurs in all Resi games isnāt anywhere near as bad in this as most though. The final location you explore is actually really good IMO. First time the graphics, which I found disappointing for the most part, wowed me there too.Ā Ā Think Iāll definitely play through on a harder difficulty and get the collectibles.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nag Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 You completed this on Village of Shadows difficulty didn't you @mfnick? How bad was it? I'm thinking I might give it a shot... I'm guessing some infinite ammo weapons are a must? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfnick Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 @NagĀ Yes and yes. I had the Stake fully upgraded with unlimited ammo when I did it. Thereās a couple of sticking points but itās mostly easy with that. The Spoiler Chris Redfield section is the hardest since you lose your Stake at that point but itās more than manageable. I also mopped up some of the other achievements at the same time which made it harder so if youāre just focused on completing it, it should be a cakewalk.Ā Ā Just reminded me, bastard Mercenaries mode can get fucked! 1 achievement off the full set due to that.Ā 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had all the other trophies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nag Posted January 10, 2022 Author Share Posted January 10, 2022 I've made a start, had to make do with the infinite ammo Grenade launcher for the beginning... the siege segment went without a hitch, just triggered it and the ran back the barn with the stairs and shot anything with teeth. Ā Getting to Luiza's house shows just what to expect though, armoured Lycans straight from the get go that take about 8 Grenade rounds to put down... I need that Stake pronto. Ā I think the game has glitched in regards to the files too... I've checked a list and have them all but the challenges screen still has me at 46/47.... bastard.

DisturbedSwan Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I think you'll be fine with the Infinite Grenade Launcher until you hit the factory then you really need a fully upgraded STAKE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ā Turns out I had enough to buy and fully upgrade the the STAKE at my first encounter with the merchant after I sold all of the weapons I had in my inventory... so now I'm rolling the Infinite ammo STAKE, Infinite ammo Grenade launcher and Infinite ammo Dragoon... that should do the job. I left off last night just starting my way up to House Beneviento. By all accounts it's the Heisenberg boss fight and Chris's segment that's worrying me the most. Ā And happily I got my Bookworm achievement last night too, so I'd either missed a file or I needed to reread it to have it register... either way I'm happy.

DisturbedSwan Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Lovely stuff, you'll breeze through it with those then.Ā Ā Chris' segment is the biggest pain in the arse but the rest of the game is relatively plain sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nag Posted January 12, 2022 Author Share Posted January 12, 2022 Heisenberg down, think I got him on my fourth attempt so wasn't too bad... seems like it's a case of holding off with the rockets until he tries to rush you and using them as a means to push him back... that and being fairly accurate with the chain gun. Ā Should (hopefully) get this clocked tomorrow now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Speaking of Village of Shadows difficulty this guy does it on a brand new game, no infinite anything, no glitches and clocks it in about 2 hours Ā I really like this game. I think I need to go back and see if I can get all the achievements for myself tooĀ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
