I got two seals, and there was a gate that was locked with two circles on it, but it wouldn't let me use them so I'm wondering if that's a deliberate gatekeeping mechanic, no pun intended. You were at the wrong gate at the end. The one you use the crests on is the one you look at at 7:56 in your video.

Yeah, but I had one of them at the time and it wouldn't let me use it. Or so I thought. I knew it was the wrong one at the time which is why you see the panicked pause and look at timer as I turned around heh. Edit - Bah yep you're right. I was mis-remembering.

grieving for Gandalf posted:this game looks like it suffers the same problem as RE7-- might as well not use guns for all the good they appear to do to enemies. no hit animation. hopefully bosses aren't just well-crafted scripted events like the last game too Between this and the controls (from what I can glean from video footage anyhow) not being any less stiff, I’m gonna pass on 8. I was hoping that it’d be a radical departure from 7 even as it maintained a lot of superficial elements, but it seems I’d be disappointed if I went into it expecting that.

lmao this is re4. even has you shooting sparking things to pick up treasure. also i played it with raytracing on and the framerate is fine and seemed like a solid 60 like the other demo. so 45 your rear end beat it in 26 mins and i guess.... the actual village is ...small as gently caress? i already met all the village characters and entered the path to the castle. they go the way you were expecting

There were quite a few gates that I never opened in my playthrough, so either they rearranged items for the demo, or you come back to the village at some point. Did anyone find an item to operate the well mechanisms?

Same, I'm excited to play the game because it's RE and I know I'll love it but definitely a wait for a sale for me. Basically every issue I had with RE7 would go away if the there was better damage/hit indication and if the scripted stuff was a little more flexible (again a feedback thing - just needed more animations and feedback so it'd be more obvious what to do). Definitely not picking up a PS5 just to play a demo a week and a half early if that's what they're getting at with this lol I don't know, I don't necessarily expect to beat every boss the first time I fight one in every game but I felt like RE7 had a high amount of "how the gently caress was I was supposed to figure it out" where way later in the game it clicks that like oh yeah X small moment early on was meant to let me know about Y.

I can't believe the demos are 100% final version gameplay. It just makes more sense to me to put together a set-piece for the sake of a demo that's more-or-less going to be what you get when you play the full version.

Now that you mention it I feel like Capcom's done this a lot since Dragon's Dogma. The demo just being "here's a chunk of the game's first act" so after you buy the game you can continue with your progress/save/stats/whatever from the demo instead of starting over. The REmake ones they did recently and RE7 demo are more the exception for them than the rule for them. I think Kingdoms of Amalur was the first sorta $$$ to do that but can't remember if it or Dragon's Dogma was first.

Before the pandemic, a lot of Capcom's first-look demos would end up being the same vertical slice that they used at trade shows like E3 earlier in the same year. That might also be the case here, that the timed public demo is the same curated chunk of the game they'd have used for E3 and PAX last year.

Try the first Evil Within game if you want more of that loving experience. I dunno though. I loved RE7 and don't remember a lot of cheesy bullshit with boss fights.  or certainly not any more than you'd typically face in a RE game anyways. The hardest ones were the chainsaw fight and the fight in the garage but neither one felt incredibly cheap.If you're into getting completely hosed over and want to feel like there's some cheese about, try the original game where you could absolutely gently caress yourself into a corner that made it impossible to beat a boss at all due to ammo/health and would make you start completely over if you didn't have a proper save in the bank. I think on my first run, I slogged my all the way to the end but couldn't beat the final boss and simply started over. I actually turbo hosed myself in RE2make while following a speed run. I was so pleased with myself and made it all the way to the end only with no way to kill the final boss in the allotted time frame and no options to unfuck myself out of not having enough ammo. I guess there's always the knife but...yeah no. I thought I could outlast the bastard and wait for a rocket launcher drop but it never came. I still have that save loaded and can't beat it.

BiggerBoat posted:Try the first Evil Within game if you want more of that loving experience. I mean I hated that in the original Resident Evil too believe me lol  but RE1 was way more of an adventure game than anything like when it dropped I always thought of it in terms of like a Quest for Glory game or whatever so by the standards of those Sierra games it could be pretty merciful, but it still sucked. Plus that's a game from like 25 years ago and significantly shorter than RE7. I did like Silent Hill 1's solution for ammo during fights that where the final boss instantly dies when you run out of ammo.The Evil Within 1 that's another game in the "this game is incredibly exactly my poo poo and would be an 11/10 experience for me if not for this one thing that drags it down" I think my main problem with RE7's feeback thing was the molded were just so boring - especially for how they're made and the backstory for them? There's a ton of cool poo poo they could have done with how they move and work and react that wouldn't have spoiled the story or anything like that. That and I wasn't even bothering to block for most of my first run just because so many of the attacks had a "there is no loving way you can block this" look to them. I know some of that is on me but I didn't think the game gave a lot of room for experimentation put such a big emphasis on hiding. Evil Within 1 was slightly better overall to me just because when Evil Within 1 DOES click and you're taking advantage of all the stuff you can do and working with the traps and stuff it completely rules.

I didn't mind the molded and thought that however boring they might be was overcome with how cool and different the overall game was. I don't play a lick of attention to the stories in any of these stupid games so whether it's a good story or a bad one means nothing to me. I kept forgetting to block (and use psycho stims) on my first run. 7 was the first game in the series for a while that had me tensing up again, getting lost and looking for save spots though like back in the old days and hit a good sweet spot for me between resources and scarcity. Real survival horror, which is probably my favorite genre. RE8 looks like a callback to RE4 which is fine by me. EW1 on the other hand, just had SO MANY cheap deaths in the way that you described. It was good enough to make me want to finish it and had a bad rear end atmosphere but gently caress every playing it again. I think I rage quit that game more than any in recent memory. EW 2 owned and struck a perfect balance for me though. It FELT open world but was never overwhelming like RDR or games like the Witcher and Skyrim and the variety it offered in terms of environments and potential builds was a lot of loving fun. I think the bar for survival horror games is: after you beat it, do you immediately want to start a new run? So RE1, RE2 (and their remakes), RE4, RE7 and even RE3make fit the bill. What's everyone opinion on State of Decay 2? I hate, hate HATE online co-op, MMO's and CPU controlled AI partners but I just grabbed it for 15 bux after reading you can play solo and looking at some reviews. Did I gently caress up? If I like playing solo, sneaky stealth play styles and taking my time rummaging for poo poo will I like it? Sometimes I get over loaded with open world stuff but I live killing me some zombies and the idea of carving out my own base in a big zombie world sounds cool. Jeez...sorry for the TL/DR[/b] Hyped for Village pre-ordered), grabbed SoD2 on the cheap, Evil Within 2 is fantastic and EW1 had too many cheap deaths. Now all we need are sequels to Alien: Isolation and and a new Silent Hill game.

Camera movement feels leagues better than it did in RE7, which makes me happy. The act of shooting is much less cumbersome now. Guns still feel really piddly, though. This demo got me, though. I wasn't even thinking about purchasing this game (didn't like RE7 very much) but now I'm very much weighing the possibility.

State of decay 2's primary bugbear for me was survivor enclave relations depending finding a fairly geegaw to hand over to them lest they go hostile or vanish and the way most bases weren't actually even slightly secure and zombies were constantly jumping through the windows while I was messing with inventory or something. They might have addressed that at some point? I dunno it's been like 3 years.

Like one of the traits in the game is/was "Punched Nazis" which is a negative trait that makes you more irritable towards other people. They later claimed it was an accident but only after blocking the first person to point it out and going silent for a week. ImpAtom fucked around with this message at 23:21 on Apr 18, 2021 |

It was much quicker than a week, and their response was to patch it so that "Punched Nazis" was unambiguously good, whereas before it showed as a negative social modifier (gets into fights) without displaying the positive combat buff (punches Nazis real good). The trait was derived from one of the devs literally punching Nazis at music events. I think they're probably good ones.

How does 7 play on pc with keyboard and mouse? I played it with a controller and it was fine, but since it's first person I assume it'd feel more natural with kbm. I'm curious because I assume 8 is going to control pretty much the same as 7, and I'm gonna play it on my laptop.

I played some RE7 VR over the weekend + 8 demo, turned it off at like midnight and let the dogs out only to hear grisly screaming and snarling when they caught a rabbit in the backyard. Had to go out and clean it up and put me in a weird headspace. Hope RE8 meets PSVR2 down the road.
