Yeah, it does feel like there's been a turnaround on 8 opinions over the last year or so. I don't know exactly what my current opinion is - even though I respect the style 7 was going for, I liked 8 better at the time because the combat was much more fun and I'm fine with the action focus. It ranked pretty high on my series list when it came out, but I haven't touched it since 4 Remake, and I've seen multiple people say its gunplay doesn't feel so good in comparison. So who knows how I rank it in 2024

8 is great and calling it one of the worst RE games blows my mind. Yes I am action FPS enjoyer gamer, sue me.

I like RE8 a lot but I didn't have any desire to buy the DLC. RE7 + the DLC is one of my favorite games ever so I like it more, but I don't think RE8 is one of the worst at all.

Yeah, I was mixed on the 8 DLC, mostly because it just kinda threw random stuff together. The story campaign was fun enough, just held back a bit by not having a NG+ where you can just go hog wild with the new powers it gives you. Third person mode is fine, but kind of a "who cares" addition since the game worked alright as it was. There's some entertaining stuff added to Mercenaries, but I don't really touch that mode so it's of no use to me. So yeah, the story part was fine on its own, but it just felt like there wasn't much there compared to everything 7 gave you, and there wasn't a really standout piece like End of Zoe.

i like action fps games and re8's inconsistency in focus is one of my main complaints with it. as a horror game it's a bit too much of a mishmash and the more overtly horror parts aren't in line with what i like out of resident evil, they feel more like haunting ground. the more actiony parts are okay but don't feel as good as any of the more overtly action-heavy third person games. re8 isn't Bad but it's a bit too identityless, it's got a lot of ideas but unlike re4 where that mishmash of ideas somehow manages to cohere into a fun ride re8 is more like you're bouncing between five different smaller horror games and none of them feed into each other very well. i despise the re8 dlc, it plays like poo poo and the writing is awful. i like that kind of strange psychological horror but it's not a good fit for re and they didn't execute it well at all

Calling Village one of the worst is crazy. Even if you don't like it it's not a chore to play the way CV, Zero, and 6 are, nor is it an awful remake like 3R. Its biggest issue is that the Village itself is a nightmare to navigate and that it clearly got chopped up during development worse than most of the games in the series. 7 is more solid as a product and as a sort of mission statement for the series going forward, but I'd rather play Village. Granted I also like Gothic horror and weird mechanical body horror more than I like Texas Chainsaw hillbilly horror.

I think if 8 had it's own identity I'd probably like it more but as it is, the whole game is "Remember RE4?" and well. It just makes me think about how much better 4 is lol.

it's really bizarre that re8 opens with that whole storybook animation and it's super stylish and weird and tone-setting and then. basically none of that actually reflects what the rest of the game is like in any way

And they're right When there are like 20 posters left on this dead website, a “massive shift in public opinion” is when you get like 3 people to post the same thing in a row. Anyway they’re wrong, RE8 is good.

I liked 8 but didn't like its Mercenaries mode. Felt less like the cool horde attack stuff from earlier games and more just like an optimization puzzle that got boring really quickly. I also think the main game could've done with a different structure rather than just having you go through each leader like they're a mega man level. The doll lady gets like five minutes of screentime when she could've been a threat that pervaded numerous parts of the game. Heisenberg was a neat concept but his area was just too long and bland. Fish boy should've been cut entirely. Dimitrescu could've been more interesting as a de facto ruler of the town in her castle that had more of a buildup rather than a single castle level then a boss fight. Still liked the game enough to play it through a few times, but yeah I always wonder why they picked the simplest, easiest level structure rather than one that could've been more interesting. Sakurazuka posted:8 was better than 7 but I'd be happy if they never went back to first person RE Yeah bring back third person for the next one imo

8 gets graded on a bit of a curve because it was basically collecting the shattered pieces of the original design when covid struck.

I never played it, but I always thought it was supposed to be great or something. cv is funny but it's like two entire classic resident evil games stapled together in terms of length which makes it get really exhausting and its puzzle design is bad it's also a game that kind of demands you do some knife-only bullshit with regular zombies to conserve ammo. it is way easier to knife them than in some of the other games but, it's not something you'd think to do given how dangerous that usually is The Colonel fucked around with this message at 16:01 on Mar 6, 2024 |

Feels Villeneuve posted:RE7: loves calling young girls "loving bitches", turns into an incredibly lovely version of FEAR a few hours in RE6: please gloss over the entire plot is driven by one man's obsession with Ada Wong refusing to sleep with him because he's a creep. Also there's a weird Chris Redfield look alike who suffers through the same character arc Chris went through in the previous game. Oh oh people loved Nemesis, let's make not-Nemesis but instead of chasing STARS it chases Albert Wesker's son! I didn't hate my time with RE6 or regret playing it entirely, but man it is just a massive mess of design and direction. And the combat is so poorly taught...
