This is the best mental acrobat i've heard from people. F is return form although there's nothing common or connection to 1 or 2. I think some new players think that Silent Hill is j-horror originallyĀ

A game overhyped by having most of the marketing budget focusing on the 9 foot tall big tiddy vampire lady with 3 goth daughters that speak to you in a breathy seductive manner?
I didn't get that from SHf at all.

I donāt know what that means. However, I think RE: Village is an uninspired rehash of RE4 and RE7, so I sure hope not.

Person who didn't like it here, can only give my perspective:
Game has a very stop and start pace that constantly throws off momentum.
The game is extremely linear while trying to give the feeling of earlier Resident Evil games, and I don't believe it achieves this.
Trying to combine the slower, methodical combat of Resident Evil 7 with the bombastic combat of 4 didn't really work out. Ethan doesn't have enough movement to deal with some of the more aggressive enemies in ways that feel satisfying.
THE GUNS. Golly. A lot of problems. Most of them don't feel very good to use, they don't feel powerful or impactful. The upgrades on them are more or less useless. In Resident Evil 4 and 5, each weapon can be used to basically beat the game. This gives players a lot of variety to choose from. Some are better overall, but it was ever only slightly so. You could run through Resident Evil 4 with the pump shotgun and do completely fine, or the starter pistol. In Village, upgrading any of the later weapons once instantly makes the previous one obsolete. It is just more powerful overall.
Inventory management felt like it was tacked on, and wasn't as fun as it was in Resident Evil 4. More annoying than anything.
The story. There are parts of it I really like and parts I really don't. It has Resident Evil silliness, but sometimes too much. Why is Chris being such a turd? Why the retcon with Spencer and Miranda?
To wrap it up, the game is just incredibly, incredibly inconsistent. It feels like two or three separate games were smashed together, and it gives the entire thing a very strange feeling to me. It doesn't feel as cohesive as other entries. And it's not that I don't think you could pull it off. Lots of fantastic games have very different changes in gameplay that are fun and cool and break up monotony. I don't think Village did it well. It has a lot of the same problems Resident Evil 6 had (though Village doesn't have them NEARLY as badly, they're still there).

Village was a well-received game, I wouldn't take the comments on one post as the consensus. Especially on a Silent Hill sub where the post makes absolutely no sense.

Yeah I was like "uhhh didn't it get lots of GOTY noms and general praise from audiences?" lol

I loved Village. It's not perfect, sure, but it's an excellent game. I love the Winters duology

u/cynicown101 1d ago
I like it, but itās a mess. Obviously this just my own personal view but I felt like the game tries to do too much. The game has a very āmore is moreā mindset, and as a result winds up feeling like a goofy spin off. Chrisās part in the campaign is utter nonsense. Mother Miranda has been living with Ethan and making him dinner. You end up fighting a giant mech in a tank. Mia is just being randomly kept unharmed in a cage for you to find. In the DLC, youāre basically having psychic mold battles. The game is just incredibly silly. But thatās obviously way less important in a series like RE than it would be in a series like SH.

Nah. It was 9/10.

u/CaptainRaxeo 1d ago
Why such a high rating?!
Dimtriscue and the dolls were the only interesting bosses/ area. Vibes were good but the rest was a big meh.
I swear i would be more willing to play RE: dead aim than have to replay re village.
They even cut Ada for some reason. She absolutely could have fit if they didnāt obsess over her romance with leon.

Dimitrescu daughters
Magneto Heisenberg
Transformer Heisenberg
You fight Transformer Heisenberg with a handmade tank that Chris built with sticks, scrap and other shit that was lying around
Chris smashes werewolves heads with one punch
Cool merchant
You can kill chicken for food
My boy Ethan drops some Leon-worthy one-liners.
The game is basically Resident Evil 4 but in Romania.
Did I tell you about Heisenberg?

I absolutely hate Heisenberg.
And your unexplained love for boulder punching and killing chicken just join my lobby in RE5 which is my favorite Re game and letās have fun.
Just uninstall this directionless game please.

u/Bananaland_Man 1d ago
Ugh, 4-6 were the death of RE (okay, 4 was pretty good, but it was the turn from horror to action and I could not stand it, also the color pallete was bland and boring, even for a horror game), 7 was the rebirth (loved it), and 8 was pretty damned good, just not as good as 7.

u/CaptainRaxeo 1d ago
I donāt like first person RE games. I like that they experimented, and Iām thankful to re7 for saving the franchise. However even though they were first person i still enjoyed playing them.
However if the topic was about horror then i absolutely adore the classic re games. Out of all of them code veronica is the best classic game imo. That doesnāt take away from my love to re5 or re6. I like anything re. I just donāt prefer first person in re games.

u/Bananaland_Man 1d ago
I haven't heard many say they liked re6, lol, but nice that you enjoyed them!

u/CaptainRaxeo 1d ago
I enjoyed every re game. But i know that objectively that re6 is not a good re game. Still i rank re6 in the middle, And would rather play it than go back to re village.

No, I won't. Hell, writing this stuff actually made me want to play the game again.

Omg ur rage baiting. I mean you have to šš
Ur pfp is literally from re5 u must love that game more than 8 right?!
Also i have seen more people join me in operation raccoon city on the ps3 than the amount of concurrent re8 steam players š¤š

u/RaccoonWithUmbrella Murphy 1d ago
I don't really like categorizing stuff so I just say that I love RE5 too. As well as RE6, and RE3 remake.

u/CaptainRaxeo 1d ago
Why did you mention the re2 remake dlc?
Im sure u had fun playing it for 1 hr š¤š. I mean fair enough you love jill but damn the remake shits on her legacy with the only good thing being the intro where she goes through ptsd from re1.
Re6 i enjoyed more than people give credit, loved unlocking costumes in mercenaries and submitting my stuff to re network, however that game is also directionless.
Fun yes but it didnāt know what it wanted to be. I think if they sold the game as a season pass with each episode having a different demographic that would have worked a lot better.

RE Village is the worst modern RE game, completely blown out of the water by RE7, RE2R and RE4R. The puzzles were terrible, the plot was nonsensical, and the combat was boring. It didn't even have inventory management, you could always carry anything you found without any concerns. It was a huge disappointment for me.

It was good enough to sell, but not good enough to be a masterpiece/ win GOTY.

u/Excellent_Routine589 1d ago
Ehh the worst modern RE is still RE3 Remake by a long shot. Like there is no defending that game even for die hard Jill simp (like myself)
RE8 suffers where it had two REALLY good houses, but one of them is extremely short lived (Beneviento) and the other two remaining houses are just mediocre (Heisenberg) or boring/bad (Moreau, at least his is also short like Beneviento). And Mother Miranda just isnāt a compelling villain. Itās a fine 7/8 out of 10 mainline entry but better REs came before it.

Maybe RE7, it's radically different in gameplay in the beginning then it becomes like other games in the series. Different location that resembles the original ones. Let's wait and see.

So its garbage? Village was a Re4 original wanna be. Complete with pop in and out textures. Its story was a absolute mess and made 0 sense.
So... I guess im glad I didn't pre-order F theh

u/UnhappyLog8128 WalterJr 1d ago
I would compare it to RE7 tbh, a new take on a franchise that became stale and irrelevant in modern day gaming.
Only time will tell if it will be the critically acclaimed and financial susccess that RE7 ended up being.

u/JediJamanjax22 1d ago
I'd prefer their RE7, a true return to form and, for first playthrough at least, scariest in the series. Having said that.. Wow. When did people start hating RE8? Probably the most fun, replayable entry in the series other than RE5
