That's such a tiny section of the game. Just practice a bit and you'll get the appropriate route to take down. Have you done the garage part yet at least? By the way even if he catches you he cant actually hurt you much if you block his attack. And remember that you don't actually need to backtrack for anything. Do the puzzle required to get you to the next section and don't return to the main hall until
you kill chainsaw Jack
I hear ya. Sounds like gelf is having a rough go, so I just threw that option out there. He's certainly not obligated to do it.
Really really great, I loved this game. Felt like classic RE with some modern touches that didn't ruin it, even
. Combat was a lot of fun in VR, gonna be hard to play it any other way.
I'll replay a few times to unlock everything, but fresh on my mind I think I'd rank the series so far:
RE2 > RE4 > REmake\RE > RE5 > RE7 > Revelations > RE3 > RE6 > RE0 > Code Veronica
I stopped Rev 2 about halfway through when I sold my original PS4, and just didn't get a drive to come back to it. I will someday, but it's not going to be a favorite I'm sure.
late game when it becomes a bit shootbang

Madhouse isn't hardcore at all,i wish i hadn't listened to some gaffers and started that mode in my first play tbh.
Too much enemies? retreat,close the door and wait until they despawn..it works 100% with every type of molded except for the
,that sob never gets tired of waiting.
This mode would be a real challenge if enemies were capable of opening doors and spawn anywhere they want,i would love a patch that adds something like that.

Start off my mini review with the negative first: This is still not a Resident Evil to me. I've been with the series since the PS1. Before I even had a memory card (true no death runs!). It has many of the same ideas, but not the feel.
With that said... I loved this game. From beginning to end. It was essentially what I thought PT would be when it was finally released.
It played perfectly on my PC. Absolutely no complaints there. The RE engine looks terrific and I can't wait to see what Capcom does next with it.
Audio was creepy, but for whatever reason there were some effects that sounded muffled. I knew what they were, but they weren't as sharp as they should have been.
I'm not sure if there will be another Resident Evil like this, but I can say right now that I'll be back for more replays in the future.

After playing 7 and absolutely loving it, I now want Capcom to do REmake in first-person.

I had 5 flame rounds at that point. What I did was pop one of them in the face twice with the repaired shotgun while the elevator was still descending and quickly swapped to the grenade launcher. I then blasted it at their feet while they were still in the elevator from around the corner where their puke couldn't hit me. Keep blasting their feet as they step out as it staggers or stuns them. Once out of grenades, swap back to shotgun and plug their heads. You can use the hay stack to separate yourself a bit but make sure there's enough distance that the puke doesn't still hit you. I also ran upstairs so that I could aim down and get free head shots as they ascended the steps, defenseless. Killed them both up there. I imagine if you don't quickly finish them up there, you could run around them and back down the steps and get more free shots in.
NP, doing that run will help you in madhouse. Even if you elect to not use the round saw, you can equip both defense objects so that you take 0% damage when you block.

Thank you so much! Can't wait to try this.
There's a word for this lol
but I bet some people would beat it.Pretty sure its just PSVR for now.

Had two successful runs on Ethan Must Die, I'll link one of them if anyone's interested. Misses out the first nine mins or so. I got lucky, scored an Albert and the game was dishing out enhanced rounds like candy. I nearly fudged the run a few times, but it was all good. Sorry about my extremely cautious, indecisive play style.

Whoops, forgot the closing bracket for my spoiler haha but at least what I said isn't actually a spoiler. Fixed it anyway. No problem, friend and I hope you whoop their ass tonight! I should add in that I didn't stay at the top of the steps to shoot them, I believe I looked over the railing just besides the stairs to shoot down at them. I'm not positive if they'd pull some cheap crap where they barf up the steps if you were standing in line with the stair well. Better safe than sorry! Good luck!

I used grenade launcher neuro rounds to slow them down then enhanced handgun ammo to the head to finish them off. Keep moving and put your hands up to block if the vomit is going to hit you.

Just had a pretty great moment, I got the red keycard, opened the nearby door and as soon as I realized where I was I was like "Ok, cool shortcut but why the hell would I go back here?" Then I walked back up the stairs...

Just wrapped it up, awesome game.
I'm curious to check out the DLC, but I'm going to go ahead and sell it for now. I'll pick up the complete edition for PS4 (I had already got the X1 version a couple weeks ago and my wife bought me a PS4 Pro earlier this week, I was sort of annoyed the whole time that I could have been playing a better version of it).
I'll have to give it some time to process, but right now I think I like this almost as much as 4. It's weird, I kind of want to start a new game right now and I'm not sure why. 4's gameplay is a lot more fun, aiming at limbs to set up melee attacks is always satisfying, and playing the game a second time when you've really got the combat done was really fun. The shooting in 7 isn't nearly as entertaining, and once you know where to go and where the enemies are it's basically a walking sim. Yet it still seems weirdly repayable to to me.
I think it's because they nailed the tone so well. The game is beautiful, I'm shocked at how great it looks while still running at 60 fps, and just walking around taking in the atmosphere is really engaging. Can't wait to see what they do with 8.
Definitely agree with the people saying the game loses it's way a bit at the end, I preferred the setting of the first half. The lack of enemies starts to hit you too. It's crazy they didn't do any animal Molded. It would make sense for the Baker's to have pets, they could have done the traditional dogs at the least. It's a huge shame they set a game in a bayou and didn't have an alligator.
Still a really fun game though. After finishing it I can see why some people believe it started as a VR game, but it has some really intense scenes and the pacing is great, to me the enemy repetition is more of nitpick, especially since you're blowing through them by the end anyway.
Speaking of, the whole mine sequence felt really unnecessary to me. I didn't quite understand why there was Molded down there, Jack says he picked up the girl from the boat, so when did she have the opportunity to go there? Can she send a single Molded down to spread it without going herself? But story aside, the combat seemed like a lame obligatory difficulty bump for the end of the game, I'd have liked it better if they just did more psychological horror stuff on the road to the final boss.

Not at all.
It's another gun that gives you x amounts of shots you wouldn't usually have. When I unlocked it on my MH run I had 5 bullets already. That's five dead molded (head shots). You can't really argue with that.
Plus I'll find more ammo as I go. It's worth it.

it really does feel like punishment for this tbh
I think it is still more powerful than Albert + Enhanced Bullets and you still find magnum ammo which you can only use with it so. Not worthless but it isn't mandatory either.

Play on madhouse and almost all the enemy spawns are different AFAIR.

I may be misremembering my normal run, but it feels like most of the enemy changes for madhouse take place early on in the game. The late game stuff doesn't feel very different.

Aaaand madhouse done. Damn, they really didn't want you to go straight for
Don't know wheth3r I'll bother going for achievements or not. Seems like it'll just be tedious. Might juat leave the game until the DLC comes to PC. But anyways, RE7 is now firmly my second favourite in the series behind RE4.
Also the game just crashed in the middle of the credits lol. Unsure if that means I have to beat the final boss again to get whatever post game unlockables you get for beating madhouse. Meh, whatever.
the ladder at the end of the gauntlet with the fat molded. My plan of remote bomb to down them then go up the ladder was foiled nicely. Such a good change to force you in to fighting them at the end.

You could probably knock out the speed run, meds, and item box trophies in one go. Especially if the game successfully marked that you completed Madhouse and gives you
Infinite ammo.

Finished the game (on Normal) and was utterly disappointed with everything after the first 2 hours.
The whole intro and first house was a great start, liked how intensely personal everything was and I got really into it (that first
, felt very Resident Evil Dead), it truly felt like a new start and a nice comeback to the series. Then the Moulded appeared and ruined the rest of the game with their piss poor visual and encounter design and the insistence of

I've read this mode is bullshit, the stats don't lie.
There are a few bits here I disagree with, but I do agree with the high qualkity of the first couple hours.
Thing is, as a game, how do you extend that to a full 6 or so hours? Its strictly linear and very cinematic but leaves very little "gameplay" to speak of. As part of the resi formula, you need to explore your surroundings, and you need some kind of opposition. The Jack / Marguerite pursuit/patrol sections were cool but would have gotten very old over time.
I just don't know how else you extend the bits you say you enjoyed to a full length video game.

That boss fight at the end of Ethan Must Die is actually pretty easy, if you just stay in the corner next to the turret on the second floor.
I haven't picked up the mag in any of my playthroughs, but I certainly plan to do so once I unlock infinite ammo.
I'd like to add an extra warning: it's worthless silly shit. I don't know who invented the rule that videos that introduce a still "horror girl face" image at a random moment accompanied with very loud shrieks are scary. They are not. Boring crap that doesn't do the great atmosphere of the game justice.
That 1973 Linda Blair makeup though...pretty awesome for the time and one,if not THE,most scary/creepy movie I ever saw...

Not worth the ammo to put him down unless you're playing easy, just run away from him. Outside of madhouse he can keep up for shit.

That seems like a weird way to calculate the success rate though. I wonder what it is if you just divide the people who have beaten it by the people who have tried. Obviously each person is dying multiple times.

and I'm assuming I'm at the last save point before the finale.
It's been fun! I feel like it was 60% classic RE, 20% action RE and 20% something new. The mansion oddly didn't feel very big at all.
