I agree - speedrun is not a real challenge once you've completed it once.
First run - 7 hours 38
Speed run - 2 hours 38
Onto madhouse.....
It's not a bad idea to use a Psychostimulant during that fight to get as much ammo as possible, there's a lot they try to hide from you.
Uh, this extremely spoilery gif still comes up on mobile. Just so you know.

Playing through Madhouse mode and I've just got to the

old house
Albert - it kind of turns the game into a shooting gallery when equipped with enhanced ammo
Jack fight with the chainsaw a single shot if enhanced ammo with the Albert puts him in his kneeling state. One shot to the large head transforms him back. I did this once, he got his scissors, did it again, then grabbed the chainsaw, got him to his knees twice with the chainsaw and that was it! It was easier than the normal difficulty. Whole thing took about a 40 seconds.
After that I wen to the
caravan
attack coin or health coin
there were no enemies. Jack was gone obviously but there weren't any molded. Every time one had spawned previously I had killed it - and they don't seem to continually respawn, which is good. So the house was completely empty. It was kind of relaxing.

the dinner scene!
I only found the 3 bullets in the toilet and another 1 in the mines somewhere, so 5 for the whole game with the one already in the gun...
I did take one of the fat molded's head clean off with it at least

There is also magnum bullets in
the Old House. When you first go in and go for the left door they are on the left side of the door.

I've managed to get stuck on the
. I can only gain access to portions of the 1st, 3rd, and 4th floors with no acid solution to open doors (or whatever it was), nor have I found the key to the locker. All have is a crank attachment. I feel like I've thoroughly combed over everything, but I guess I missed something?

Are you fucking kidding me? Thanks for the spoiler
use the wrench on the elevator hatch on the third floor
on the second floor is a safe with a puzzle there's 3 or 4 corrosives in there

Wait, so
is only stalking you in two easily controlled situations in the entire game?
1.
2.
Jack
1.
In the main house, when he sees you in the kitchen/dining area until you flee through the hatch in the pantry. The encounter is very short and restricted to a small area on floor one.
2.
In the main house, after draining the tub to get the wooden statuette in the recreation room, until you escape through the hidden door in the main hall. The encounter begins on floor two, but he follows you down to the first floor (where you can easily hide in the save room). So you are completely free to explore the second floor until you drain the tub? If you proceed to the cellar and do the second Jack boss fight after escaping the main hall, there is no more Jack stalking?

In short - yep
Haha, I have been so afraid of this supposed stalking after all the hype. I thought that the dude in question was freely patrolling floor two, making it difficult to pick up items, and so on. So glad I was wrong!

On my first playthrough I was much like you.
Constantly in fear of Jack or Marguerite round the corner
On my second playthrough
I knew which points they'd be at and which were safe so I sprinted about freely. I also noticed how they don't actually hit that hard so just run past them holding L1 when they wind up to hit

After the
dinner scene

45 of the most engaging minutes I've ever experience in gaming. Also, I was playing in VR.
Edit: The
second floor of the old house

Play madhouse
So there is real unpredictable stalking in madhouse? More than the two events I described from
Jack
He was on the second floor before I made it to bathroom yes. In fact he jumped out around the corner on the way to the bathroom and yelled Boo! lmao
Edit: The scene
where he grabs you after draining the tub didn't happen at all

I would have literally shat my pants! haha

Haha, glad I am playing on normal then. The stuff you describe would be a health hazard for me!
if you take your time on easy/normal he is also coming befor the bathroom
and if you never go upstairs again till after the chainsaw fight it will be the only encounter like on normal.

Can someone else confirm that this is a thing? The main guide on gamefaqs describes it as a scripted event that is activated by draining the bathtub.
Same thing happened to me. Was terrified at first but then I took out my trusty Circular Saw and all the tension just vanished. Probably the fastest from "NOPE" to "all is fine".

I just unlocked this last night. Looking forward to kicking full ass with it.

Great game, but they should of stopped at the river scene. The whole boat level bored me to death!! I'm going to hate myself for saying this, but that crap should of been left as dlc...

Been playing this for a couple days now and have been really impressed with this so far. It feels like Resident Evil 1 but in first person, haha. I just
. I can't imagine what this game is like in VR; must be terrifying. I'd love to try it out one day. Can't wait to push further tonight.
Could someone tell me how far I am though? Just curious how much I have left.
beat Marguerite and am headed to the second floor of the old house

Picked this up last night and played it for about 5 hours straight...
I really don't enjoy first person horror games where you're stalked by indestructible or regenerating enemies. I find it more of a chore than atmospheric/enjoyable, and this was putting me off REVII almost entirely.
I figured I'd risk it as I don't want to miss a mainline RE, and man... this game is really damn good. I'm still not a fan of the above, but everything else about this game feels incredibly classic RE. Item management, map layout, sound design, encounter design.... it really is a massive return to form in many ways (and I like RE5 and 6 a lot).
I'm avoiding this thread for now as I'd been on a blackout before and was spoiled a little (I didn't know the moulded were an enemy and saw an image, it would have been really cool for that to be a surprise for instance), but I just wanted to say as someone who was opposed to the design of this game from the start I've come around entirely.
Great game so far. If it holds up I'll be speed running this like the old school REs.

About half way, maybe slightly more
Yeah, it's the worst part of repeat playthroughs for me.
that didnt happen here (madhouse)
Ah, good point. Completely forgot you can switch between first and third person in GTAV.
Doing an easy run now to try and find all 20 bobbleheads...glad to see those found on normal are already counted...I found 8 in my first run on normal and found 3 on easy but I am up to 9...
Can you skip the cutscenes...? the first 45 minutes arent easy to cut time down with all the deliberate slow walking and cut scenes...

So I just opened the door with the
but right before that I ended up finding a couple lock picks and picked the final two locks that seemed to be left. I hesitated to even use them but figured it would seemingly have been the last couple items to find in the locatins leading up to the door I just opened. Anyways to my surprise one had
and the other had
now the second one isn't so bad but man why does it seem like the shit behind locked cabinets isn't even that great? Should I have saved these two for the next area and just wasted them?
red and blue key cards
healing spray
65 shotgun shells
sorry mistype that would be great it was 6.
Doin' my third run; Madhouse, and trying to pick up all the antique coins.
Anyone got a run through of the missable ones? Or how many are in each section? I know there's a missable one at the start with the Sewer Gators, but I've neglected the other tapes thus far. Are there any more in them?

Nah you can ignore other videos. I think there is one other that you can lock yourself out of. It is in the
Test Facility right before the code locked door.
I used this video as a reference to double check if I had missed any. If you use xray glasses and search well you should find them all.
Awesome, thanks!

Easy and normal stack. Madhouse does not, as there are almost double the amount and they're placed in different locations.
