Went to my brothers after work the to play re7 and ended up playing for like 4 hours. I'm a weenie when it comes to horror stuff but that game is amazing. The part I got to is a little to action heavy and hoping it goes more back to the horror stuff later. But I would put it right up there with re4.

I knew someone would eventually... Jeff knew what he was doing.

Though to be honest I'm more into frotting.
When did he suggest this?
I feel like he has talked about docking before and that's why I know what it is already.

I know what sounding is. I wish I didn't know what sounding is.

Wait, it's just Dan & Alex running through the Yakuza series? I'll still give it a shot but no Vinny is pretty disappointing.
"What if we took Far Cry, removed a bunch of mechanics/systems and made it third person?"
He's talking about Ghost Recon, not Horizon.

It's an ubisoft game, so you didn't need to type the last 2 words.
Oh man. The Horizon Review thread could be legendary.
Wait, is Jeff a Sony fanboy or hater at this time? I'm out of the loop.
Jeff is jaded, get your facts straight dude.

I'm somewhat exited for Solo Queue. On paper it sounds like the most boring thing ever. In reality though it is actually ________
I'm shocked. Shocked! Well, not that shocked

It won't, the second half of the game is pretty much what I would say more akin to a classic RE game. It's creepy but you have an arsenal to deal with all the creepiness. However, I still do wish that this game was a new IP because having RE on the box just creates expectations and comparisons.
I'm currently going through madhouse difficulty and it is no joke. They change up a few things that make the playthrough very interesting.

Guys.
I can't stop watching the world cyber games footage.
It's so fucking cyber.
And so fucking "we bought this license of sony vegas pro and a whole bunch of stock footage, let's go nuts."

and added bloodstain fisheye detective vision from witcher 3, which seriously was the worst thing in witcher 3.
You could turn that off

It's far too similar to old RE games to have benefited in any way from being a new IP. A creepy mansion to explore with doors you unlock with weird keys, magical item boxes, healing herbs, limited ammo, etc. It's supposed to be compared and constructed to REmake in particular.

Is it similar to how RE Director's Cut mixed things up?
It's kind of sad how we've reached the point where this is a bullet-point feature for indie games:
oh wow.
and the "no procedural" and "unique levels" IS improving my interest in the game.
will probably come down to how much I like the controls.

The connections made to RE are fucking weak though. Like the entire time I've been playing I was like "Why is this RE? How is this connected?" and then in the last like 5 seconds of the game(major spoilers)
HELLO, I'M REDFIELD.
This is definitely closer to the original games but not quite. It's a much more subdued and grounded experience save for the crazy opening. Cheese is also nowhere to be found but the biggest thing I miss is the score which is one of the best things in a RE game. Like, you give me a track from any of the first 3 games, Remake + Code Veronica and I'll be able to name you the location of the game where that track plays.
Pretty much. Different enemy + item placements, less items in general, you need cassettes to save, enemies don't die as quick as you do and it changed two things when it came to a certain boss. I'm halfway through now but I'll probably beat it today. I recommend playing through that mode after speedrunning the game so you could get the

It's super shitty how it seems like a lot of developers have become straight up afraid of making well-crafted, linear worlds. Not everything needs to be procedural or open world or both.
Nobody was asking for an open-world Mirror's Edge.
Dude, you're crazy. That is a Resident Evil-ass Resident Evil game. Once I made it to the basement it hit me that it's basically what Doom 2016 was to the original game.
Also, the entire Baker family is cheese incarnate. Marguerite screams "FUCKING SHITCOCK" at you, and Lucas is the fucking lamest. They may as well have been taken directly from a shitty Rob Zombie movie.
5/5 if the game has no splash screen or logos on boot just like Killzone.
This is one trend I wish had caught on this generation.

You should play X-Men 2 for the Genesis because it'll blow your fucking mind.

I mean yeah but all REs are filled with such wholesome moments. As I said this is closer to the classic REs but I think it would have been a much stronger game if it stood up on its own without having RE slapped on the cover, like they could have pushed this insanity you experience in the game to its limits and did some crazy shit without being confined to what an RE game should or shouldn't be at this point, like for instance how this game starts which is batshit crazy. Everyone who plays this game questions how this game is connected to the RE universe and all you get is a 5 second BS at the end. I also felt the puzzles were very weak, almost non-existent.
For me though, I miss the score the most but at the same time I know what they're going for by having it real subdued. In any case though, RE7 is a great game. Nothing changes that fact, I'm having tons of fun with it. Jack is my favorite character in the game and Marguerite(spoilers)
2nd phase is my favorite boss fight.
This is accurate. I still love him though.

I might have to dig that out and play it later, used to love it.
Is there a release date for this?

I know that I was one to point out content droughts in the past... But I'd also like to recognize the GB guys when they're doing a good job. I feel like the past month has been a pretty good time to be a fan of VideoGames.com
I have a tough time keeping up with all the #content and although West is a bit of lackluster with the podcast and UPF, East makes up for it easily.
Agreed, they need to coordinate and step up their game to be able to compete with the giants of fashion at GB West:
It's been a pretty good start to the year, and with the Yakuza playthrough covering up the Monday hole in content things are looking good for the next couple months. I hope it doesn't deter Jeff or anyone else from the occasional home livestream though, since those are nice added bonuses.
I saw this comment and thought, "that's a weird sexual thing that guy said!" Then I watched game tapes and felt like a dumbass...
