Current Events > Re7 is pretty damn hard

(+) Yeah! (+)

This dude wants to be mr X so bad

i just got the shotgun and am clearing out the basement for the last dog head.

It was too scary for me so I never beat it.

Its very stressful, RE games do a good job with that.

Some of these dudes are entirely way too tanky. Like 20 handgun rounds to put them down

You gotta go for head shots.

Not supposed to fight most of the enemies. 1-2 rounds to stagger them then run past, like the old games.

Best RE game post 4.

Yeah I always forget ammo conservation being a big point in the RE games.

its hard when your run speed is ass, and a lot of the rooms are very narrow.

theres a particular mob that takes quite a few headshots too.

But yeah I shouldve just tried running by

RE7 is my second favorite of the entire series. I had such a blast playing it.

Ive noticed that I can only play for an hour or two and then I need a break.

that house is a damn maze.

really enjoying jt though

I recommend against this, because there's a lot of loot to collect in the basement, one of which is kinda hidden that you don't want to miss. You can recoop some of your losses by finding chem fluid and gunpowder. If you've already searched everywhere you're good to go though.

That shotty really comes in handy when you have 3 moulded in 1 room

Shotguns are always great in RE games. :)

One part that Im not crazy about- having mobs not spawn until you go far enough into a room

but I understand why they did it this way.

7 is a god damn masterpiece.

How does Village stack up

thats actually why I started playing 7. Bought village and saw it was the sequel to 7.

I think trigger happy games made people forget RE games are not about wasting zombies but just about survival

I still havent beat RE7 the game stresses me out and the house reminds me of horders and I cant deal with it

You didnt need to do that in RE7 or the old games. The shortage of ammo was an illusion both times.

Village is better than 6, but worse than all the other mainline games by a long way IMO.

i havent played all of them, but this was definitely a thing when I play the re2 remake.

I almost couldnt finish one of the boss fights because I used up too much ammo.

Id say its true if that one on the hardest setting, but not of the original.

RE2 had you drowning in ammo, especially as Leon.

I was playing as Leon, but I whiff too many headshots and dont retry areas unless I die

Tbh my favorite parts of the game are when you're not in any real danger, just exploring that creepy ass house. What Remains of Edith Finch had a similar appeal but without the scary stuff

Well, yeah, if you keep wasting your shots then of course youll run out.

I thought Village was way better than 7. 7 has a big issue later on in the game that is obnoxious, and the house really isn't that complex or maze like at all. Village felt like RE4 2.0 and has some better segments for sure.

I swear the moulded know how to dodge at just the right time lol

sometimes I feel like should target the body more, so Im hitting more shots

but I know headshots are king.

I prefer Village, even though I will admit that 7 is the better made game

7 gets more and more less like what you're describing as it goes through each area. I hate stalker enemies, but they definitely nailed the tension aspect of them here as opposed to REmake 2/3

Village is dramatically more of an action game and the story might as well be a Metal Gear Solid. I liked it better though. It's really fun to play. It also encourages multiple playthroughs and is short enough to make that not a daunting option.

Consensus is its like 7 but more action focused and not as horror intensive.

What I always did in RE was kill any enemies that were in rooms I'd be trekking through more than once, and if they're big rooms with a lot of clearance I'd run from the enemies. Narrow rooms where you can't really run, I always kill em

Village is a better action game but not as suspenseful imo

I didn't find it too bad but I have to admit I got humbled by the scrawny crawly mold that spawns above the stairs to the basement next to save room.

I was just walking along, tralalala "This isn't so hard?"

BLAM! Instant death one hit KO

But I'd say Revelations on Inferno is way harder.

Massive decline in plot and atmosphere. It's not scary or particularly interesting.

Big improvement in moment to moment gameplay + the ability to skip nearly all cutscenes and dialogue. Combat is a blast and once you learn the tricks it's super satisifying to fuck with the monsters that once bullied you.

First playthrough will seem like a big step down from RE7

But it has replay value up the ass that RE7 doesn't have.

An RE7 replay is 2 hours of watching the same cutscenes unfold that were fun the first time and 1 hour of gameplay.

RE8 replays are 2-4 hours of whoosh crikey run around fun with OP guns.

I think I've replayed RE8 as much as I've replayed any RE game, which considering it's the newest one is pretty crazy

Its hard but fun. Jack running after you in that house was the best part because it was freaking stressful. I even triggered him in that washroom area before collecting puzzle pieces to make the game harder.

Village is amazing and a slight step up from 7 but its more action packed

I still love RE 7. The whole Baker family had a lot of character and challenge between all of them. Jack is a great antagonist as he just feels like a loose cannon. Doing a first play through makes him terrifying considering he can do alot more than you think.

jacks fav tv character is the Kool Aid man

yeah its hard but its funny watching these speed runners just plow through the game with 0 difficulty because they know every single thing about the game. they break the illusion.

I get that you might like it better because opinions and all that, but what makes you feel that it encourages multiple play throughs? I thought it was the worst RE ever on that front by a large margin.

On subsequent play throughs the doll house and the Moreau section are painfully dull and they happen back to back.

Made it to the old house. Need to find that spider puzzle thing from Mias tape

Fuck these bugs/locusts

Hahahha get torched fuckers

RE7 was amazing, played on hard mode got every pickup, made every headshot and didnt have too much difficulty. Once you understand how the AI works, even Jack isnt an issue.

My only issue with the game is the enemy diversity was a bit poor, similar to Prey.

This is one of the issues it has

The game is super easy if you're using a mouse.

It's fine. The only concern is if it's still hard after 4 hours.

I enjoyed watching others play it. I loved the gold version art and got a great price too...

Btw the original art sucked but gold versions is practically a massive spoiler..

Fair enough

Stupid ass marg

why does everyone like to throw Ethan

id say its somewhat difficult because of the fucking annoying enemies that are both tanky and have spastic animations making using a handgun for headshots a little difficult, even with a mouse. that drops off significantly once the shotgun comes into play though. with the handgun youre better off staggering them and running or if you need to kill them use enhanced rounds and have some patience.

in general though as long you arnt shooting at walls, theres a LOT of resources to kill everything on the normal difficulty so dont get too stressed out. much like a lot of the other games its only really a hazard in the first few hours.
