Also, I'm pretty sure Resident Evil is the first franchise of which I've beaten a dozen different games. Can't even say that about Zelda (though each of those games is obviously much longer).

Just beat it. This is actually the only RE game I've really played aside from RE4 (played a tiny bit of REmake, but that's it).

Enjoyed the game overall, though I think the first half was stronger than the second half. Castle was good stuff, and I actually thought the change of pace with House Beneviento was refreshing. I liked that it went in a completely different direction with things.

The fish section felt very underdeveloped. There needed to be more time spent evading the fish or something. It felt like the most barebones section. Also, I'm annoyed that I accidentally left that area and couldn't go back to collect the things I missed.

The Heisenberg section felt too long. I think the part prior to the factory where you collect the torso probably could have been axed.

Ethan pasting his hand back on and "boulder-punching asshole" were peak comedy though

I wonder if this area had other stuff planned that got cut. It was kinda weird to me that the enemies there were just more lycans instead of some kind of mermen or something

I also expected mermen. This was right around when they introduced the Cadou iirc, so I was like "ok clearly each of her 'children' were trying to figure out how to make the cadou work, and the result was vampires, lycan, now lets see the fish people". I really thought the plot was moving in the direction of each child trying and failing to bring back Mirandas daughter resulting in a bunch of deformed area specific enemies.

The area definitely felt like they had more planned and just had to cut it short.

Mercenaries mode finished. Changing the mode so that you have to trial and error it multiple times so you can memorize all enemy spawn locations and know ahead of time what weapons you need to deal with what's ahead maybe not the best way to go about it. If they kept your combo going by hitting the time or ability orbs I think that would have helped a ton.

I feel like something got cut with Heisenberg at least. The way he tells Ethan to get his ass across the bridge right into the "ah. Ethan winters." line does not flow right at all.

So in regards to the post credits scene apparently Ethan is the figure in the distance the car stops at?

I feel like it's far more likely that they just didn't want to make another model that you can barely see without using mods so they just slapped Ethan's in there.

Finished the Knife/3-Hour run with juuuuust enough cash to unlock infinite ammo for the STAKE. Once I finish the Village of Shadows difficulty, that'll be just about it for all the non-Mercs trophies, at which point I'll retire this game and move on to Mass Effect. Three playthroughs is about right for this bad boy (I gave RE7 only one!).

Just finished that fight. His first form is the tough one. You gotta strafe to the right constantly and use only the machine gun constantly hitting his weakpoints only using the cannon to knock him back if he gets too close. After that you can just magnum his face a bunch to finish the fight.

I liked it. Feels like a much better "game" than RE7 even if it doesn't hold a candle to it in atmosphere.

Miranda might be the best final boss in the entire series, but RE has dropped the ball a lot on final bosses.

Maybe more in depth thoughts later.

Just finished it. Feels like a high mid-tier RE game for me. I think it had the best exploration/treasure hunting of the series, it was just so satisfying here and what I had the most fun with overall. I was let down by the story, except for the explanation of Ethan's moldy backstory, that was awesome and I'm just an absolute sucker for meta-video gamey stuff like that. I guess I didn't find the game as disjointed as most people here, I think it kept a healthy balance of horror and action throughout, and always felt at least pretty tense playing as Ethan; sections such as the lights turning out in Heisenberg's factory were great little moments of horror and it was a lot of similar sections to this that kept the pace pretty tight overall. The baby alone was one of the scariest things RE has ever done and felt so out of the series wheelhouse that I loved it.

I think overall I just love all the content that's in this game and the atmosphere was practically perfect. I'll definitely have more expanded thoughts down the line once I play through it more and take it all in but right now I'm highly positive about it!

But why did the production quality of the epilogue seem kind of cheap compared to the rest of the game?

Also am I only the one who wans an RE side-scroller with the art style of Village of Shadows? Sort of like Deadlight or Little Nightmares gameplay style?

One thing that does bother me about moldy Ethan is that if Jack just immediately kills him, why does he drag him to the main house expecting him to be fine? Iirc they kept other victims alive up until they turned them to mold or otherwise (permanently) killed them.

Also there is definitely a cutscene vs gameplay durability discrepancy, but video games gonna video games I guess.

So I am definitely having a blast just going through the game again. While Benevento house definitely slows it down, the area is so easy(fast) to go through it's not that much of a disruption.

Moreau and his area totally suck, and as mentioned before under cooked. Weakest part of the game. Still not feeling too hot on The Factory level, I like it, and I don't mind what they were trying to go for here, I Just don't like the map layout.

I finished this game and love it.

Interesting how, in all the RE games I've played, the first half rocks, the second half is boring.

RE8: Village is good, Castle is amazing, Dollhouse is good, everything after is pretty boring...

RE4: Village is amazing, Castle is good but gets boring after a while, Island is kinda meh...

RE2 Remake: Police Station is amazing, Sewers meh, don't like the Lab at all...

This is definitely a consistent thing with the series - I actually think RE4 is a notable exception since IMO the castle is easily the best part of that game.

I kinda liked the factory at first, but it quickly became the exact same 1v1 fight repeated over and over--the fight against one of those guys with the red spot on their chest! It felt like 20-30 repeats of the exact same 1v1 fight, and they didn't even try to change it much each time, except doing it in a different hallway each time. And it's a pretty boring fight--you backpedal until they reveal the spot, you shoot it, you wait, you backpedal again...

OK, a couple times they did change it up (this guy has two drill arms, this guy has armor plating), but it barely made a difference, and, then they'd go back to the same normal 1v1 fight again next time. Maybe a couple times it was a 1v2, but really, one of them is in front, so it might as well be a 1v1.

I don't think 1v1 fights in general are very good in video games, unless the opponent is extremely versatile or interesting (e.g. fighting game genre, or a boss or miniboss fight), and even then, you can't repeat the same 1v1 fight multiple times in a row.

Fan Death boss was very good though.

I think the factory is getting some credit for its general aesthetic/ambiance, but the level design was confusing and grew tiresome. Plus they wasted the boss fight - I'm already forgetting, but did Heisenberg even have a reason to mutate other than "that's what RE villains do"? Lady D got stabbed with that special dagger, but I can't remember if anything led Heisenberg to transform into a less interesting boss.

Castle Dimitrescu and the Village itself were easily the highlights of the game and should have been expanded imo.

it's funny though because I watched Maximillon d00d's full first playthrough on Hardcore and he found the Village and early castle to be the worst parts of the game and everything after to be some of the best stuff the series has ever done. Really just depends on what you're looking for.

I say "worst", but those parts were still an 8/10 to him. The rest was all 9.5/10

That, or just 2 separate fights, is what I really wish they had done. Even if it had made no sense why he wouldn't just take your guns from you.
