Your next area is better than
Lucas' domain,
Usually, the area after that one is where most of us agree that feels rushed.
Yes,right after your next boss.
So you should probably check the previous areas before the fight in case you've missed something,just to be sure.
Wrapping it in spoilers tags,just to be sure.
It's A or B type of choices,pretty obvious.

Thank you for the answers,damn I can't wait to play this later again. One last question, is the ending choice something obvious like choosing A or B? Or is it something random like having an item on you at a point to activate something?

Alrighty, I want to finish this finally and find out where the story is heading. I'm still mad as shit that someone spoiled a character for me on this thread.

Just about to start my final run - the madhouse.
Must admit I'm pretty nervous to start it. I know by now where all the boss fights are and stuff.

The first boss was really hard for me. It was a relief to get to the item box and get access to all the unlocked items.

I only did one run through the game before madhouse and other than the first fight in the intro its been pretty easy.

Spent some hours playing today and over the weekend and got to:
The boat with Mia.
So far I have outran the molded and those licker type things to get to the save room to pick up the gun, do I just literally run passed everything here to avoid confrontation and get to my destination?
I have no idea where my destination is.

There's a lot of Soma in the enemy design and even a specific encounter towards the end.
There is a room with washing machines close to where you first enter the area. There is a fuse you can pick up from a box on the wall in this room, a molded will start to appear when you approach the box so quickly grab the fuse and run.
In the hallway there is a door with a fuse box beside it, put in the fuse to open the door and continue on.

Is it possible to screw yourself over in madhouse?
I have like 20 rounds for the flame gun, 3 handgun bullets, and critical health after
and I have to fight a few things in the basement.
I keep dying but I can't seem to escape the enemies or do enough damage.

I think it's time you took a step back from the game and chill out. You're obviously not used to playing such games, or you just suck really, really bad at them. Everything you face in the game has a logical and reasonable way of overcoming them. The garage fight doesn't really require you to run everywhere - take a deep breath and examine the area while Jack is on the opposite side of the room to you.
Second play thru on madhouse.
Holy shit the first fight was hard. It took about 15 tries, emptied clip on her as best I could, running circles and blocking for the free escape. After I ran out of ammo ,staggered the boss with a block, I manage to get in 4 axe swings to kill. WOW.
Next couple segments were a breeze in comparison. Why would they do this?

It feels clumsy and imprecise and unpredictable which is what makes it work. It feels like a scramble to survive, not learning the pattern of a mega Man boss.
I like the games choice to make combat messy and sloppy. Old re was the same way but in a different way.
I wouldn't really use ammo anyway. I would suggest conserving ammo for the
later boss fights.
Now's a decent time to practice knifing enemies in the head to get a stun animation then run (or just bait them into a lunging attack, dodge, then run).
You'll technically have to go through the basement twice though. Once to get the Snake key, and again for the Red Card, so be careful.
Also, if you're really hurting for ammo, You get a ton of separation fluid in madhouse. You can use those to break down ammo or health you don't plan on using to create more of what you want.
Lastly, if you have the
circular saw
stun lock
Edit:
Did you get the hidden syringe over the fireplace already (you won't be able to get it unless you found the picture for it in the basement). If you haven't, you can get that health boost syringe which will completely heal you.

This is my first playthrough. I just managed to get the
snake key
Now I have no ammo, critical health, and I'm in the safe room near the basement entrance. Kind of afraid that I'm gonna be dying over and over now. Went pretty smoothly to this point.
I got the hidden syringe and spent my coins on another one and an offense coin.
Ok, you should be fine either way. Someone has beaten the game on Madhouse using only the pocket knife so you definitely aren't stuck.
There should be some health and ammo in both snake key rooms. The only enemies that spawn between those rooms are the two molded that are scripted to be in the main house after you grab the snake key.
Also, if you have been stocking up psychostimulants then I would suggest using them and running around the mansion. You might be surprised at what you missed.
Luckily enough, you are in a section of the game where there aren't many enemies to deal with. If you're careful, you can slowly build your supplies back up.

I used some psychostimulants but broke down most of them to make healing items. Opened a door with the crow key in the deer room and I'm getting a little bit of a foothold now.
I really love how in madhouse it seems like you really have to be careful with items and plan things. The first and second resident evils were like that too.
I've beaten this game 5 times and I still haven't played through the game

Yeah I just did it, about fifteen tries for me too. I had a bit of a glitch where we fought in the corner of the side-room with the three crates, I retreated to the long corridor and she got stuck behind the three crates and pushed them all the way out of the side-room to the long corridor door. It was a funny moment when she opened the door and she's pushing these three crates along. She then fumbled a bit between the crates and the door, allowing me to get more headshots in. She finally died at the last few bullets. I'm now wondering if I would've done it at all if the glitch hadn't happened.
Oh well, on to the main house!

See for the above reason I stopped my Madhouse run early on. I was just at the firstfight and realized how difficult the whole affair was going to be. Recalling similar situations with past REs where you paint yourself into a corner with item management - I just decided, at this point in my life, this is not for me. Definitely going to replay, but on normalMia
The general consensus is that is the hardest part of mad house and then the rest balances out
I see. I've not played that one.
SOMA bored me to tears on my first walkthrough and stopped a couple of hours in, gotta give it another try at some point i guess
Me too mate, me too lol
sipping on this game bit by bit like a fine wine. Game is scary as fuck in VR, I'm going to be honest--first time in the basement had me screaming like a girl. I've moved on to the next area and I'm definitely getting a handle on the encounters. Loving the survival horror comeback that is RE7.
I died a bunch of times and was getting mad, but then I figured out a pretty foolproof method to finish it off once you run out of bullets.
Wait for her at the end of a hallway. When she starts into a lunge attack, run to the right side of her, then immediately turn to the left and get one axe swing in. Run to the other end of the hallway, and repeat.

Interesting. That's about where I'm at and the pacing of the story so far made me think I was probably about 40% in, maybe 50%. If I'm already at 70% then I think this has been a little too slow/sparse so far.

I really liked SOMA but I think the enemy encounters are very hit and miss. It's something I'd recommend someone play more for the story/world rather than the gameplay. I think you can skip it if the story didn't grab you.

I'd say it's more of a mix of walking simulator/story like Firewatch with a bit of stealth/chase stuff here and there like Outlast. There isn't any combat in the traditional sense.
No guns and I remember it being even more light on puzzles. Much closer to Amnesia but thats not surprising since it is made by Frictional. Fantastic game though and really worth checking out even if you don't like Amnesia style games.
I'm now
I hope we got more experiences like this because RE is making me glad I have the set. I was thinking about doing a casual collectibles run without vr after this, that's going to feel weird I bet.
I would say no, not at all. Like BarrelMakingPenguin said, the horror is more subdued. It also has a stronger focus on story.
in the boat, playing as Mia. That view was amazing in VR.

It's kicking my arse at times. The lack of checkpoints is pretty harsh and enemies are really ruthless, but clearing an area and making it to a save point is almost soulsbourne levels of satisfying.
It's really great stuff, enjoy it!
