Current Events > Which is better: RE7 or RE8?

(+) Yeah! (+)

7 for me for an overall experience, even if the last area was dull as hell.

Although the giant evil fetus monster in 8 is probably the most genuinely disturbing moment in the whole franchise.

7 by far. Didnt like 8 at all.

I think 8 was ok.

7 by a mile. 8 was trying to wear way too many hats and felt really stitched together. Any one part of it was pretty good but didn't work as a whole.

Good way of putting it. I thought the factory also draaaaaagged on way too long with enemies that were a bit too bullet spongey for my liking.

I do agree the baby is the scariest segment in the franchise though.

8 had more replayability though. I went through the game about 6 or 7 times getting the platinum trophy. I feel like it was also a more fun game overall. Although I hate having to go through that baby section over and over again.

Also I like that there was option to play the game in 3rd person perspective. After I beat the game the first time in first person, I did all my subsequent playthroughs in third person. I like that mode better for a Resident Evil game.

I like 7 and the early parts of the game. It was a great horror experience, but it's not a game I feel compelled to play through again and again, to get every trophy and unlockable weapon. I think I've played through 7 about 2 times total, just to see each ending. I didn't care for that unlockable handgun that does more damage, but can hold 3 bullets in the clip.

8 with the third person view

very unnecessary villain that is somehow behind everything in the series.

I despise 8. 7 felt like a soft reboot/retuen to less massive outbreaks then we get werewolves, vampires and a very unnecessary villain that is somehow behind everything in the series.

RE7 was boring as hell to me with it's like 4 enemy types (3 different variants of sludge zombies and like....wasps/insects/whatever), boring self-insert MC (who I thought was vastly improved and really became his own character compared to the silent this white guy is you-insert he was in 7) and meh weapon variety. *Part of the fun with any given resident evil game for me is the escalating weapons of power you gather throughout the game*

The main memorable thing about RE7 to me was it's VR mode since that is the first way I played it. Outside of VR it was just blah to me.

EDIT: I was slightly off with the enemy types......3 sludge zomb variants and 3 insects, lol.

I liked RE8/village more in every single way in comparison.

I played it in vr. Scared the hell outta me.

I loved in 8 when you gain control of Chris at the end and it shows you how absolutely inferior Ethan is in terms of weaponry. It was a great show of power.

As really awesome as that surprise section as chris and his crew just murking everyone and everything was, I still have to give ethan credit in that not only were you packing serious heat by the point of the game he is incapacitated for a bit you end the whole pre-final battle off in some over the top battle against resident evil magneto riding a chainsaw artillery tank thing in the middle of this magnetic tornado.

Shit was so ridiculous but I loved it. Serious brock samson from the venture bros. energy for that particular battle.

There's nothing better than killing poop monsters and being chased by grandpa and his swiffer sweeper
