RESIDENT EVIL 7 biohazard | OT | BIOHAZARD 7 resident evil

I see you cant change difficulty mid game. Recommenadation? What's the difference in difficulties? Madhouse isn't hard on the frustrating bullshitty side is it?
People here say it's pretty damn hard but some also recommend doing it at least on your second playthrough because it's like a directors cut and changes the placement of enemies, key items, and consumables while making the AI more difficult.

It's crazy that Capcom took such a huge risk rebooting this series and in VR no less. So far it looks like it paid off, this game is great.

Holy shit at, what I assume is, the first boss fight.

Driving the car back and forth and running over Jack was hilarious, but what fucking killed me was him driving the car into the steel beams to kill me only to impale himself.

This game is fucking amazing.

Forgot to mention that the
Grandma/Old Lady
is super fucking creepy and really effective at making me feel uncomfortable as hell!

She just sits there in her wheelchair and stares at me, popping up randomly in the game. At one point I left the dissection room, and as I'm coming up the stairs back onto the main floor of the house I hear someone humming a song, and as I turn the corner the old bitch is sitting there and suddenly stops humming..... so I walk past her turn the corner and then she starts humming again, I turned around quickly to see her AND SHE WAS FUCKING GONE! HAHA

I totally expect her to suddenly get our of her chair at some point and become one of the most difficult encounters in the game... I JUST KNOW IT!

Ok. I'm gonna go with normal for my first run and replay it on that then.

Pretty interesting how that resolved itself in my playthrough was completely different.

I had this preordered at Best Buy for in-store pickup, but we're getting slammed with a nasty winter storm today (in the northeastern US) and I don't dare to make the trek 20 or so miles away to get it. I guess I'm getting a copy from the local GameStop (less than 5 mins away) instead, I NEED this game today!
 
I'm a little confused at how everyone counts the bosses differently. I definitely didn't consider anything before
chainsaw Jack a boss, certainly not the car section. After that, spidermom was the second boss as far as I'm concerned.

This fight can be very different.
On my first try i got into the car but he pulled me out. Then he kept trying to run me over.

i like how capcom absolutely put no banner on steam saying the game was released as big triple a games usually do. they must be confident in their awesome game. i am enjoying it a lot more than classic RE, its just suits me better than the third person classic RE.

Oh my God, the Marguerite boss is so good. Woooooooow, man. That shit was intense.

That's easily one of the best bosses in the series.

Holy shit, that's awesome. I wish I saw that one now. Probably would have been hilarious to see.

Ah, yeah, that could be the first boss fight. I'm not really sure tbh what the game classes as the first boss fight.

Wait! WHAT?! :O

You can actually
drive the car yourself?!
When I got to that part Jack
jumped in the car and was trying to run me down
while I slashed him with my knife. The
car then blew up and he was set on fire.

The keys are in the garage. I picked them up but panicked and never got in.

Yeah, I managed to get in the car first and ran him over a few times. He then jumped onto the roof and ripped it off before grabbing the wheel and driving it into the steel beams at the back of the garage. I climbed out the car and that's when it set on fire.
 
I had my doubts but after 4 hours, this is one of the best games I ever played. Is crazy how many hidden items you can find, use the pills (don't remember the name) that reveals hidden items, you won't regret it.

Same with me. He had me shook! : (

So true. It's amazing how well hidden some items are! Those pills are really useful. I use them when I need to make some inventory space mostly.

The
ship is basically 7's equivalent to REV1 Queen Zenobia

What do I do with the
antique coins

Buy upgrades in the
trailer when you make it outside the main house

Reposting this...

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...

Was hoping someone could answer this cause I fear that exploration can lead to skipping parts of the story.

where is the pre-order survival pack supposed to be? it wasnt in my inventory when I started
 
Game should be arriving today according to tracking info. Gravity Rush 2 arrived pretty early on its launch day so I'm hoping this will be the same.

My only qualm with this game so far?

There's no cheesy voiceover at the title screen saying RESIDENT. EVIUL. SEHVEN. as I press "start".

This is honestly a genuine disappointment to me.

When you start the game up for the second time and after there's a little Aunt Rhody cinematic intro thing, I was honestly expecting to hear it at the end of that.
