I think I'm just being an idiot but I can not get past jack right after the dinner scene. What am I missing here?
So did I skip a part? I got to the main hall and...
the phone was ringing. I assumed it was Zoe and that it would begin the next part. So I opted to just explore and found the bathroom where I was then attacked by Jack. However when I got back to the Main Hall, the phone had stopped ringing...
If using that item-showing item showed me anything, it's that there is significantly more ammo scattered around the environment than I usually find. Check every room.
You can stealth that section, just wait for him to walk back to the dining room and then go past him.
It's survival horror all right. The scariest thing is being low on ammo the entire time IMO.
I'll put it like this. Unlike a lot of VR games... You will need to mentally prepare yourself.

The other poster was right, the lockpick is not where it was in the demo,
but if you turn around at the beginning of the video it is on the ground behind you. It opens up the same cabinet but this time there is a coin in there, not an axe.

Just found them for the first them. Damn I've missed a lot of stuff. This is amazing.
Nooo. Oh well, next playthough.
Just spent like five minutes trying to do the spider shadow puzzle thing in the second VHS tape before giving up. Hope that wasn't actually possible to do at that point.
EDIT: OK, maybe you have to do it? 'Cos I don't think I can progress right now.
Bad post. Stop it.

i dont wanna go back downstairs 
So I'm 2 hrs in with VR and so far this is not a scary game. I don't really know how to put it, there are jump scares, good jump scares but the demo made me think this would have a different tone. It's very fun but it is very much a game and not a P.T clone. So far I would say its a B-movie in VR and I've died a few times so its challenging. My only complaint is that the jump scares are too good, they feel like they are in the right place and never feel too random and out of place meaning that its not as scary as I thought it would be. Granted the beginning was scary as hell and I'm sure they didn't peak with the scares in the 1st hour.
Edit: Leaning around corners with VR is amazing, it feels so natural. Especially when being pursued . Peeking around a box and watching a baker go the wrong way feels so good

Oh all the impressions. I am really thinking of picking this up. Though two reasons why I am hesitating. First of all, I am the biggest wuss there is. I know I will scream like a girl (and thus can only play it when my girlfriend is not home) and second I would love to play in VR but I don't own a Ps4. Any info, news etc if the game has VR support on PC or when it will be officially (or unofficially eg. mods) supported? Should I wait? I can only imagine that you will get one chance to play this for the first time (and in VR).

Beat the game on easy under 4 hours and unlocked x-ray glasses and circular saw. No unlimited ammo. Maybe that's under 4 hours on normal?

It is. It's
on the ground where you spawn.
Holy fuck, guys. This game is impressing me sooooooooooo much. I can't believe some of the shit that has happened. How did Capcom pull this off so well? Fuck yeah.

Tough guy? No, I'm saying that its not as scary as the demo would make you believe 2 hrs in. I did say the 1st hour was scary, but getting a VR gun must be like getting a real one, it makes things much less scary. Plus this game is not full of cheap jump scares so far so maneuvering through the levels is not that bad
the spider puzzle wasnt that bad, just keep spinning it. they seemed pretty lenient with the orientation
a small hint not sure if its a spoiler but ill mark it anyways
is it doesn't need to match up EXACTLY, just close and make sure you hit F or accept

I wish so bad that I could play this in VR, but all I have is this crummy Vive.

Is this basement people are talking about the processing area? I just stopped playing there and yeah, bye bye ammo. So far it doesn't seem like you can zip past a lot of enemies like in the old games. I mean you can but I didn't wanna try it because I had no idea where to go and these guys are surprisingly fast.

I really hate the molded. They're so fast and the areas you have to fight them are so narrows. I've died so many times to them already.
Alright that be it for tonight. Around 2 1/2 hours in, where
Man not sure where to begin tbh, but this is quite enjoyable so far.
I left the main building (?) and headed off to the old building area for a little bit before calling it. Shall see how fucked up Marguerite is next.

You can lead them to a more open area where you can go around, if you're brave.
I'm not brave. But I am accurate, and I have about 50 bullets. So I can afford to spare a few to kill enemies when necessary.

The quick turn is incredibly useful. If you see that they're about to charge, do a quick turn and dash away. If you know you won't be able to get away in time, block and you can avoid most of the heavy damage.
Yeah, this just happened to me less than a minute ago. Don't look at 'em.

So, I was hoping the PC version had HDR like Capcom said it would. It does. However, I guess make sure you want what you ask for right? With HDR on, I can't set the screen to 1440p and have it full screen. Instead, I get a box in the middle of my screen. To get HDR and full screen, I have to set it to 2160p, which of course limits me to 30fps (and sometimes lower...). It's perfectly playable, and it looks pretty nice.
But, I wanted to shut HDR off so that I could run it in 1440p just to see the difference, and either the implementation of it is just really fucking bad, or my TV doesn't want to play nice. If I shut HDR off, the screen gets mega bright, as though there's almost no shadows at all. Adjusting the brightness and black level doesn't really do anything to help, other than wash all of the textures out into dithering, pixellated blobs. My TV also forces me to use HDR each time I reset the game. Even if I shut off Ultra HDMI Color and then the start the game, my TV detects a game that uses HDR and forces me to restart the TV to enable it no matter what.

Yeah the basement had a couple annoying rooms.
Wow really? Well saw that I had gotten two Lucas, and the family dinner card, so guess I didn't get it.
Fuck that boiler room, and the second fight with Jack was kind of bleh, through still has its moments when it came to chainsaw duel. Liked the encounter in the garage more.
