Why was it frustrating? Not knowing when to kill the enemies? Do you get the hang of knowing when to run or when to attack?

I mention my early frustrations here:
http://www.imdb.com/board/bd0000053/nest/265373658?d=265417993#265417993
Enemy feedback when fighting bosses is continuously a problem. Even when I was fighting the last boss, I didn't know if I was damaging it or not. But the action picks up after the second boss and the game plays largely normally afterwards.

I'm mixed feelings on it. It feels like a blend of alot of different horror games EXCEPT Resident Evil.
And what was up with it turning in to F.E.A.R towards the end.

I think it felt like Resident Evil in the end. The turning emulated the tank controls. My frustrations with Jack-Garage are similar to fighting Yawn and Plant 42 for the first time. Player feedback has always been touch and go in RE they're still one of the few games where I count how many times I hit a boss to gauge how much health it has. It's extra bad in this game, since they're so scripted that the grenade launcher and magnum don't even properly come into play, but now that I've endured the first playthrough, I can just enjoy the game for its thick atmosphere and ignore the bullsht. If you skip watching the video tapes, it helps the pacing a lot and removes 90% of the Outlast nonsense.

FEAR feels like Akira with guns. This felt more like Kojima ghost wrote some of this after getting fired from PT.
It's about a bio-weapon called Evel-lin
Who crashes into a residence
And turns its owners evil
Also she looks like she's about VII years old
Probably some of the most clever writing in the entire series tbh

I think it felt very, very Resident Evil. I've finished almost all of them and played every one I can get my hands on and this feels very much like a Resi game, just in first person and with a scaled back story

What are these goofy effects?

Effects was the wrong word, I should have said "gimmicks." I'm referring to the constant use of things pointing and or stabbing directly at the screen like an old school gimmicky 3D movie, which I'm sure are only there for the VR.
Re: Resident Evil VII: Biohazard single player

It's not constant though, it happens maybe 3 times in the beginning and then you don't see it ever again. Even then it makes sense, VR or no VR you're playing in first person and people with knives are trying to stab you. Which way should they be pointing the knife? Left? Up?
Re: Resident Evil VII: Biohazard single player

Pointing the knife at you isn't the issue. It's things like stabbing 2 centimeters from the players face with shovels and the like that come off goofy as hell. It feels very much like watching Friday The 13th 3D and given the amount of times I saw it happen in the first couple hours of the game I have a hard time believing they just stop doing it.
Re: Resident Evil VII: Biohazard single player

The shovel thing didn't come off as a 3D gag to me. Just standard "the killer is magically behind you" gimmick, which is fine. The I-beam scene right after it is also cool as a cinematic, and is the last time that happens.
Friday the 13th 3D had shots of people playing with yo-yos for no reason and stuff dangling in front of you in slow-mo.

And while RE7, from what I saw, didn't have yo-yos and poles being stuck directly into the screen they had constant use of other things, like that shovel which I disagree with you on. It definitely felt like just a goofy 3D gag. There was several times where the thought "this wouldn't be here if it weren't for the VR" ran through my head.

And yet here you are, talking to two people who finished the game and confirm as much, so you're either retarded, or can't afford the game and are manufacturing nonsense reasons to convince yourself that you don't really want it.
Re: Resident Evil VII: Biohazard single player

I have a hard time believing they just stopped using the gimmick, and at least one of the people I talked to disagreed with what was and what wasn't a part of the gimmick in the first place. So exactly why would I take their word for it when we fundamentally disagree on what we're seeing? But sureI'm a retard with no money because I disagree with you on a game, and didn't just take your word as fact unquestioningly. That's how the real world works!
Re: Resident Evil VII: Biohazard single player

You base your opinion of a game on what you believe happens in it without seeing or playing it and your argument for it is a logical fallacy equivalent to saying "I saw the first hour of Resident Evil 1 on youtube and there was only zombies, I find it hard to believe they introduce different enemies later". Of course you're retarded.

I watched it played for 3 full hours, dude. I'm pretty sure that's a reasonable amount of time from which to make an assessment.

Again, two people in this thread finished the game while you never played it. They are right, you are ignorant and wrong, end of story. Now piss off and find a job so you can afford VR like normal people and stop bitching about nonsense.

Two people, at least one of which I've already said I disagreed on their assessment of what is and what isn't part of the gimmick. So I can't take their point at face value because we fundamentally disagree. The other is youwho just seems to be a butthurt fanboy that can't accept that someone might not think their precious resident evil VR game looks all that good.
Re: Resident Evil VII: Biohazard single player

But you were wrong on that too. The "killer is behind you" bit is as old as horror itself, it has nothing to do with VR, that poster smashed you with his argument and further exposed your poverty fueled butthurt.
Re: Resident Evil VII: Biohazard single player

There would be no reason, whatsoever, to have the killer shove a shovel through a man's head directly into the player characters face, with the shovel jutting out perfectly directly at the "camera" for effect if it weren't for the VR/3D style gimmick they were using. The issue isn't the trope, it's the execution, and it's clearly executed like a 1980s 3D horror film. Intentionally.
Re: Resident Evil VII: Biohazard single player

Of course there is. Even without VR it's a first person horror game. Deadly murder weapons coming close to the character's head and missing him by an inch make perfect sense. And even if they didn't, those moments add up collectively to maybe.. 10 seconds at most, if you were to make a montage out of them, out of 8-10 hours you spend in the game. So no matter which way you paint it - you're retarded.

Why are you even arguing this anymore when you've already conceded a few minutes ago by telling me I have to get vr like "normal people" so I can play the game? You've basically already said the game is meant to be played with VR, i.e. it's designed around the concept of VR. Therefore
I think you can follow the logic with this, I shouldn't have to spell it out for you.

RE7 was designed around the concept of VR.
VR is just an add-on, basically a gimmick. Mostly irrelevant.

I only suggested that since the mere 10 seconds of VR suited content makes you so incredibly butthurt. The game is better in VR (or worse if you don't handle scary games well), but it was by no means designed to be played in VR to be enjoyed. You won't find a single review or user comment that would suggest the game can't be enjoyed without VR.
Again, if you're that incredibly butthurt over the 10 seconds that are better suited for VR, then stop bitching, get a job and buy VR.

Harry, it's time for you to face the truth.
Look at pure, primal fear and terror this person is experiencing. Look at the way his body involuntarily reacts to protect him from danger that isn't there. Look into his eyes and body language when he takes of the headset after a few minutes. He is traumatized. His anxiety is through the roof. This is a level of emotion, excitement and experience the old and outdated 2D gaming is simply unable to provide.

you're using youtubers/streamers as proof of anything when it's a well known and undeniable fact that most of these people wildly overexaggerate their reactions to drive up the view count? Wowthat comes across as borderline shilling on your part.

At least in this case Harry we fully agree. Why the hell would I wanna strap a Virtual Boy to my face to play video games? How is that supposed to be improving my experience? Answer: It isn't.

Your life must really suck if you can't even handle people not liking or caring about the same video game tech that you like and have to invent stories about their financial difficulties in your own mind just to be able to process such a simple disagreement.

Buddy, all I'm doing is looking for logical reasons why someone would go to the desperate lengths of comparing 2016 technology to 1995 technology and hating on a game for incorporating 10 collective seconds of catering to said technology. There is only one logical answer - they're angry they can't afford it
Re: Resident Evil VII: Biohazard single player

Don't know why you're trying to find a logical reason for that when nobody here has done that. For one thing, it's way more than 10 collective seconds and you damn well know it as you've kind of accidentally admitted to already, for another I'm not going to desperate lengths comparing technology. I made one comment about the virtual boy as an obvious exaggeration meant to humorously illustrate my larger point. Apparently humor is entirely lost on you, probably because you're so busy desperately trying to defend your precious little digi-goggles.

Prove it, make a montage that lasts longer than 10 seconds
And you weren't joking. Poor and ignorant people have been known to compare it to 1995 technology or asking stupid questions like "how does this work, is it like a giant screen close to my face"? You are the epitome of ignorance. You express invalid opinions of a game you haven't played and technology you don't understand, all because you lack the money to enjoy the things modern successful people get to enjoy

Randy, clearly you are a very poor guy who can't even afford VR or most consoles and/or videogames.
Only someone who's very poor brags about VR being so expensive because it really isn't.
No, people don't care for VR because it's mostly garbage and totally irrelevant.

It was good, but the game was kinda short. I beat it in 8 hours, and got all the collectibles as well. Still an overall solid entry in the series, though.

I like it, but I personally prefer the style of RE4 and RE5 better. I'm somewhat impatient when it comes to games I'll admit, so the constant hiding from enemies got old for me, especially early on in the game hiding from Jack constantly. But it's definitely a scary game, which is more than can be said for RE4 and RE5, but I'm not an RE purist so the fact that those departed from survival horror to more focus on action isn't a problem to me.

It was frustrating at first, but the charm really rubbed off on me by the end. Definitely a step in the right direction for the series.
I might consider buying it then trying out the "Not A Hero" DLC coming up.
