I also didn't like one of the guys on the first video tape being taller than me, so I did similar then.
It does remind me of the first game in a way. The start is so different you struggle to recognize it as a Resident Evil game, but little by little it starts to look more like it. I'm still messing about in the house, haven't even found a better weapon than a regular pistol yet. With the VR headset and 3D sound through headphones it's pretty terrifying, so it's slow going for me. Usually when I encounter an enemy my first reflex is to physically turn around and nope the feck out of there towards the nearest safe room. And then I'll carefuly peek around some corners for a couple of minutes before I find the courage to continue. It's so tense.I got this from my fiance last Friday, it's absolutely awesome. I just left the big house and went to the trailer in the back yard, from what I understand this means I'm about halfway done?
I really can't play it for more than 45 minutes at a time. It's way too scary for more. I love the whole mysterious Louisiana house atmosphere, it's back to the roots which I love. No more action-packed stuff.
I don't know which game you've been playing but it certainly doesn't sound like the same game I've been playing, and my disc clearly reads "Resident Evil 7: Biohazard" (technically "Resident EVII: Biohazard"). I also disagree with your assassment that it's more like Outlast or Amnesia rather than the original Resident Evil games. That's a lazy and superficial comparison. It does start out feeling a bit like Outlast, with the switch to first-person and being unarmed for some time. However by the time you're halfway through it's much closer in gameplay and atmosphere to Resident Evil 1 than it is to Outlast or any other similar game.Bought this on the strength of reviews, saying it was basically a return to form with the added bonus of first person view (instead of tank controls).
Nope! This is a boring, repetitive game, where you die and have to repeat sections ad nauseum, until you quit - like I did.
I hate to give up with games, but it was my fault for hoping this would be a new RE1/2/Nemesis. It's not, if you are old enough to remember the originals and still game - don't buy this, replay the originals instead.
It reminded me a lot of Outlast or Amnesia - The Dark Descent. Nothing original here, IMO
Are you playing it standing up and physically turning? Adds a new depth, though the camera reset bits gets disorientating..Playing through this on the VR, it's tough, I'm more disorientated after playing when I still have visions of running away, the room spinning, being thrown around. It's a great example of the potential of VR. And feck me it's scary!
Yes!  I'm probably all over the place too, turning here and there. I love the calmness of being in the caravan at the start and looking around. Looking up and seeing the drapes.Are you playing it standing up and physically turning? Adds a new depth, though the camera reset bits gets disorientating..
That's the best bit for me! I hate having it on, because I can't hear anything else, but it just adds to the scaresYes!  I'm probably all over the place too, turning here and there. I love the calmness of being in the caravan at the start and looking around. Looking up and seeing the drapes.
Anyone could be in my actual house though and I wouldn't have a clue! Which is always at the back of mind
Holy shit this game is scary as feck! I have just survived the greenhouse. Hoooooly shit that was heart poundingly scary.
Stuck where?
I literally just completed that this afternoon. I am stuck now
I haven't lit it yet, but opening the lid trust me, it smells of a rotted old house with a hint of blood. I can see it really working greatJust read about the candle, wtf
Sounds awesomeI haven't lit it yet, but opening the lid trust me, it smells of a rotted old house with a hint of blood. I can see it really working great

Thanks!It's...
Back in the mansion. Upstairs there's a room near where you got chased in the bathroom and the room with the pool table. That area, there's a room on the left you might not have been in yet due to needing keys. Solve a puzzle in there and it eventually leads to the blue key card. I can't remember if what's his face is still wandering the area, but I don't think he is.
I found Marguerite to be scarier. Something about that crazy bitch put the shits up me.I just did this bit:
I escaped the house....Mutated Jack...wow...and i chose to rescue Zoe, she spent the game trying to help while Mia attacked me at least twice from memory and i got to the ship found my way to the tape and the storyline really kicks into life! after the 3 jack battles, the margeriette battles, the lucas party game....how is Evie who i haven't battled yet somehow the scariest thing in the game?!? at the end of the vid when she said "so, can we be a family now? i said out loud, yep, sure honey, anything you want.....Zoe said no. feck sake.
Mate it is incredible, i can't be too far from the end now in theory my next day off is sunday so if i haven't finished it by then i will definitely do it on sunday.I found Marguerite to be scarier. Something about that crazy bitch put the shits up me.
I finished it back in January, but I've not been able to talk to anyone about the story or ending as no one seems able to get to the end. Almost everyone I know that's played it has claimed it's too scary or made an excuse. I loved it.
Totally agree, I haven't even finished my first play through yet and i am already wishing res evil 8 was announced and released.It's the best game I've played this year and that includes Zelda and Horizon which are getting much better rating and publicity. It's a classic Resident Evil game made modern. I just hope they can follow it up and stay horror focused, don't get carried away and go back to action again.
I am with you on this. It's a stunning game.It's the best game I've played this year and that includes Zelda and Horizon which are getting much better rating and publicity.

Or just look it up on YouTube. Unless you want to go through the last 3rd again.Jist finished it and got ending 2. Got to play through again for the other ending. The build up to the end left all my hair standing on end. Still a bit freaked out now.
No i'm an achievement bitch and want the G. Plus i missed 2 mr everywheres somehow.Or just look it up on YouTube. Unless you want to go through the last 3rd again.
I love being scared but I'm not sure I'd have the balls to play this game on VR.How many of us are playing on vr here? Because you think you are scared now...
Oh mate, you have no idea!I love being scared but I'm not sure I'd have the balls to play this game on VR.
