tape was pretty good, fuck Marguerite, creepy old bat
Im actually slightly stuck now because I was hoping the tape would give me a clue of what to do like the first tape, but not so much. Im trying to explore but fucking Jack wont stay dead and I dont want to be wasting more bullets so right now its a crazy game of cat and mouse, borderline slapstick to be honest. Im sure that's not what the devs intended lol
Question, I've wanted to ask this when the game was released for months, so now I'll finally ask it:
Do you guy's think Capcom's decision to hide most of the game before release 'to keep it a surprise for players, which works best for horror' to be good decision in the end?
imo, it's probably the best decision they've made in years.
Sure it might've made people skeptical, but I missed the times when games were announced, then they came out. Without any bullshit marketing tied to it.

Yes, I personally really appreciate how blind I've felt going into this. One of my favourite things about RE1 and 4 is the underlying mystery of the thing, slowly getting to the root of just what the fuck is going on here. It's a fairly rare feeling in this day and age.

My personal opinion? Definitely, the unknown it's what sells horror games. However, marketing gets tricky and that's where you have to rely on demos and other unique ways to get across what the game is and trying to accomplish in the process.
Many will get confused but it's gamble with big potential payoffs.
Man, this is definitely the VR killer app so far, only about an hour in.
It's tense as fuck, and pretty scary, especially when things go all dark.
Sorta wish i could see my reactions. I keep getting spooked out by the floating hands.
Had to keep narrating to myself to keep calm haha.
It really does feel like being in a horror movie, especially when the first enemy
grabs you and you're instructively trying to dodge the knife.
It's both terrifying, but also surprisingly fun, in a way normal horror games aren't.
Normally I just wanna put the game down, but with RE7 I wanna see how far they can go to scare me the adrenaline rush of experiencing this shit "first hand" overrides my will to not play the game.

Yep. Fear of the unknown and all that. Just going in knowing the general premise and the Bakers is fine for me. I feel like too many games and past RE's show too much. I hate feeling like I know everything about a game before I get to even play it.
Bought it today. I don't know why I put off preordering, but it's downloading right now. Only 20GB for the Xbox One version, not bad. Anyone know how much has to be downloaded to be ready to play?
Afaik there are two doors in the main house you can open with it (so far...)
But in general I just put keys into the 'bank' and put them back in after unlocking the doors I want to. Savepoint locations are rather generous... at least till now.
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
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
Im not saying its bad in VR, its just more tolerable than I thought. This is a game where you shoot things. Being able to shoot things is much more tolerable than waiting to be killed
Forgive these quotes on the scariness I was drinking last night. Holy shit I did not realize the difference alcohol made. I loaded up my save, slowly backtracked for a while, which was scarier than I remember and I ran into an enemy last night. Then I decided to go into a new area and the door only slightly opened and my anxiety went through the fuckin roof. This shit is terrifying.
Neff, I just realized something about what you said about villain(s) in RE7.
There is an absolutely immoral pure evil villain in RE7. Lucas. He's not under Eveline's control. Never was, and watched his family wither away under her control and sent reports to "that company", that those people on the radio were talking about (Umbrella I guess). Plus his diary is about how he lured a school bully to a fake party as a kid, and left him to starve and rot in the attic. Everything he does, is not because of Eveline. He's literally an engineering genius serial killer, who happens to have been made immortal.
I think there's big potential there for the future. I want to see
Lucas again, if only to punch his teeth in with Chris.
shotgun her in the swollen mutant vagina (the most horrific thing Capcom has thought of in years). Don't search for her, let her come to you. Keep the flamethrower for the big ass bugs she sends sometimes. And rejoice when you die. The game is like RE4. It adjusts the difficulty dynamically. The more you die, the easier she gets.
It's mainly to give yourself some breathing room if he won't leave you alone. Don't worry about reloading, normal seems balanced to allow you to down him once or twice with your ammo. You'll have resources to craft more ammo or health as needed soon.
