You won't be armed throught the game all times. There are sections where you have to rely on escaping and such. And yes, not only in the beginning.


Sure. I see that my post can be construed as a critique towards Resident Evil, but it was meant as a reply at bashing on hiding games. I have very much enjoyed these latest Resident Evil games, just not for the horror aspect.

What gives if you are armed or not in these last RE games? Main bosses are invulnerable out of the proper bossfight, so all the ammo you use on the is just a waste, the same as having no weapons.

I think the idea is that you force your entry that way because you don't have access to the switches. Smile

Why do you keep posting this guy? I thought you had standards! Sad


It's OK to take other people's opinions into consideration sometimes. Especially when it comes to people that you sometimes agree with. This way you can consolidate and enrich your own opinion, even if that opinion is similar or (very) different.

I played the demo and I think RE8 is a 'good' / 'OK' game. His review only reminded me that despite his very anti-corpo stances (that I 'sometimes' agree with), he is also behaving (again, 'sometimes') like a totally simpleton peasant. This makes me be aware of his future logic - as I intend to watch his content in the future.

He fails to acknowledge the visual appeal of the game, the atmosphere and - frankly - many more things about the game. But I don't judge him for that. Because he is just a simple guy. And compared to other you-tubers, mostly shills that roam around YT, his views are his own, even when flawed*. And this is something I can appreciate, even if I don't agree with those views.

EDIT for clarification: most you-tubers are afraid / avoiding to post what they really feel / think and aim at 'pleasing' either viewers, either companies. Which completely defeats the purpose of a truly objective, informative, 'honest' (hahaha) material.

* it's all relative, of course

WAB usually only really like games when they do something new it seems, or when they improve a lot on something.

So he probably didn't like it because it 1) didn't do anything new apart from gfx 2) it didn't do anything better than before and some things perhaps worse than before.

For absolute fans of a genre this might not big a big deal and they would rate the game much higher.

I usually agree with him (8/10 times perhaps).. best reviewer out there imo.

I really don't get the idea why the game gets so overwhelmed by "its only 8 hours, doesn't worth it".
It's like other games but now this one where it really hit, that they need to push this "its only 8 hours"

I mean all of the RE-s were "short", other games are like this as well:
I would even say that Cyberpunks main questline is 8 hours long.
Or my recent shadowman run: 6:41 did it take me to collect every soul (120) and most of the caddeuo.

So yeah, that's that.

Yeah it/s stupid. Took me 11 hours just like every RE game and it's PERFECT length.
It would be terrible if they stretched it to 20 hours or added bloat. I don't want longer games. I can replay and do other difficulties if I want. 20-25 hours is still fine but anything longer, only Dark souls is ok

It's the usual problem with RE games. They look at the counter on the save and never consider the time to get there.

For indie games you're better off following splattercatgaming, imo. WAB reviews are hit or miss for me. He whines too much about not receiving free keys and shit. His remarks about this game seem viable though.


There must have been a door there in the wall, when I came in.
Truly gone fishing.

He mentions it, takes 5 seconds, max.. can be interesting, or not, he doesn't put any value in it.
If he whined for minutes about it i wouldn't watch, it's not that interesting and not why anyone watches reviews.

i'll take a look at splattercatgaming though.

That explains it. 16 hours steam time, 11 hours ingame time.
And I did not left the game running. Guess I am really slow in cutscenes and inventory

Completed it in 11 hours according to the ending screen.
The plot was... yeah. And the writing was flat throughout. Of course Resident Evil is not known for its deep writing, but that was just ehhhhh.

Gameplay was ok.

On to the next RE, whenever that might be!

Debuted #1 in physical sales in the UK. Though opening sales are less than RE2make and RE7, this is just physical sales and since then the market has expanded a lot digitally. In other words, it's selling fine.

Also 49% of the physical sales were on PS5 and only 31% on PS4, proving there are plenty of PS5s out there despite the shortage.

around 5h in after the castle part and i do not find it that scary. re7 was creepy and scary as fuck, something about swamps and houses. also 7 was more grounded or tried to be, 8 does feel like a theme park like some reviewers said, more gun fights etc. graphical looks so damn good.
