So you don't hide from monsters AT ALL and it play EXACTLY like re1 to 3?

(I mean you run from nemesis and baldy but you can fight if you want)

Edit: ok i read darkphantom explanation, sound good enough, i may jump in.

You do cause you have a weak pistol and limited ammo. You don't want to blow your load on the butcher. He looks way too hearty. So he goes through a routine and you have to sneak while timing your movements as one example. Then there is a guy who turns light switches off so you turn one on to get him to go there and then move as he moves, etc. Was a matta, you don't like Splinter Cell action? You can prob play on assisted and mow everyone down though.

You have enough ammo to take out plenty of zombies but if you're on the hardest difficulty with limited ink ribbons you want to be careful.

It's not a matter of being hard, i just hate hiding and waiting mechanics in horror games, this is not a splinter cell, it's resident evil.

If it is super rare and 90% of her gameplay is classic re then i can survive a couple of hide and seek section, but not more than a couple.

As the fellow said, maybe on an easier difficulty it won't be an issue, but on the hardest available difficulty you will definitely run into problems trying to mow down all of the zombies you encounter, you will have to avoid some of them for sure. At least so far as I have made it even with some ammo crafting.

I hate it too which is why I never got into the Outlast games but this game is way too good to miss. They did it right in my opinion. But you can always refund on Steam. You'll see the 'worst' of it within the first hour or two.

What are your specs? If you can afford pathtracing, is totally worth it then
Click to expand...
No i mean i have the PC version but people praising PS5 Pro makes me want to double dip.
Spec wise i have i7 14700F & RTX4070
I will see how it handles pathtracing, but RTX is also fine

I don't want to mow down everything, i'm ok with doing the famous zombie slalom to save bullets, i just hate being forced to hide and wait lile on the outlast games but it seems like it's just at the beginning.

The difference is Outlast ENTIRE game is about hide and seek, Grace section you still have guns to fight but in Outlast you don't any weapon for entire game which gets old.

Lol. I knew you would hate the Grace sections. It goes against your core gaming instincts :messenger_tears_of_joy:

Not really, i love stealth games, because i can eventually kill enemies silently one after one so it's a whole different ballapark than just hiding in a closet waiting to come out because you have no other choice.

If i wanted to do that i could just play strict catholic family simulator...

Sure, for the first hours there is barely anything to fight with. Maneuvering is also a bit tricky, there are some tight spaces and later on even dead zombies lying around can come back so grabs and bites will happen.
I think the progression is good though, especially after crafting gets going and so it won't last forever but yeah definitely old survival horror vibes for me in the beginning.

Also I'm kinda maxing out my experience and took my precious time going rounds all over the place so far with Grace already 6-7 hours in, and barely played much of Leon yet.

There are allot of easter egg for nostalgia and possible link to future dlc or sequels, as per some reviewers and vloggers, who already finish the game. Exploring will be worth it.
 
Played through the intro 45 minutes last night. The call back to RE1 was nice (though the RE6 not as much). My only quibble so far is the amount of jump scare attempts that are packed into the Grace section is silly. I think I counted over a dozen and it quickly got to the point of being predictable.

Random thoughts:

-Grace has the worst boss ever. "I know your mom died there, but I'm going to have to ask you to go there anyway"
-Come on Grace, reach into the magot infested toilet, there might be treasure!

Something is screwy with the performance in this game. I'll load the game and get 40 fps and the next time I'll load and be at 100 fps. And like half the people I've seen with 4090s are talking about this issue. It's stupid I bet money it's whatever DRM they are using.

Yeah that struck me immediately as well, lol. He says something like 'maybe it's time to get over it', and then you see the flashback.

That boss is a fucking jerk.
 
Not a huge fan of the constant character jumping, but I don't like that in books or film either.
Would've preferred a classic RE2 scenario A, scenario B sequence. These are personal preference quibbles though, game seems pretty solid and definitely switches to a more traditional setup once you hit the med facility.
 
Early in the game enemy:

is it worth it to kill the chef? If it's just a waste of bullets I don't want to attempt it

I know what you mean, but I don't mind it as much with Grace in first person mode and Leon in third.

Yes but don't do it until after you unlocked crafting lest you be left without ammo. I did it with Grace, the rewards are worth it though it might not immediately be evident...
 
Man this is hands down one of the best Resident Evil to date. I understand now why some reviewers were comparing with Resident Evil 4.

It's that fucking good
 
the thing about this game I was worried about is happening the girl sections are kind of lame and Leon sections are Peak
