Who TF is that shitbag at the beginning where you say, "except for this guy. Fuck this guy." And then you show him standing next to a very passively angry Geoff Keeley (@VGX), acting like a total asshole. Who is he and what does he have to do with RE7? Is he a voice actor? I mean I've seen his face before obviously, he looks extremely familiar, but I can't put my finger on what I know him from... and VGX, I don't really know what that is either, isn't it like PAX only in England or something?
@P1CKLE_R1CK DOOOD! I played tripping, hand to God (one of my fave things to do in VR TBH) got to garage fight, it is an experience I will NEVER be able to put into words..I saw God that night, and beat him to death in a chainsaw fight...
It was one of my first games I ever played in VR and I was just so blown away by the experience. The feeling of actually being there made it so damn creepy. It's a completely different game in VR compared to playing it on a TV. I wish they would add native VR support for PC because the graphics in PSVR were a bit blurred out.
RE7 was a surprisingly good game, so many people were not willing to give it a chance because of the 1st person view, but it was still Resident Evil at its core and indeed laid the foundation for the remakes of RE2 and RE3
@@rapidrabbit11485 Everything after the ship clearly reveals it for what it was, a VR game. Not that earlier bits shouldn't have tipped you off. But it's obvious they quickly reshaped it into a full priced normal game to cash in on the early preview (the Kitchen) hype. I'm not even convinced it's a Resi' game at its core. You get a sense of the Resi' world, happening outside the game. But not in the game. It relies too heavily on other film and game tropes. The "bosses" are absolutely awful and feel like they're from 10 years ago. Not nearly enough enemy types. Not enough locations. It should have been a Resi' spin off title at a reduced price. I would praise it more then, but compare it to just any other AAA titles (or even some AA titles) it's MASSIVELY underwhelming. People only praise it because the franchise and that Capcom had finally done something half decent with it.
@@Hoopla10 It was different, it was fresh, and it went back to its roots as a survival horror game. They really didn't keep that vision throughout the entire experience. They managed to ship something that felt mediocre as a package, but had some really great highlights. It kind of makes me wonder how P.T. might have ended up, considering just how fantastic its demo was. Would it have been able to maintain that feel throughout the entire experience?
Agreed, Although the last 1/3rd of the game is mediocre, It tries to be new unlike games like Outlast or Amnesia(Which i like but they get so repetitive). I have never seen such a good shooter horror game taking inspiration from classic movies. PT was supposed to be that kind of game but it got cancelled.
True, not played in VR but with headphones it's enough, you want to play it because it's so good but then again you don't because you feel you are there, that's down mostly to the 1st person view & it's a horrible place to be in , hillbillies are scary anyway 😂
It's strange watching someone who covers this for a living...play a 7th and latest original installment of a rejuvenated iconic series...3 or 4 years later and act surprised by stuff we all already knew and he should've.

Duude I played this game on launch after coming home from surgery a few days before. I was stuck in bed n every time I jumped from the jump scares my stiches would tear and I'd scream in pain. Great experience.
Yeah, I feel the story should have acknowledged that he was infected too. I don't remember him using the serum on himself at the end, right? While the story is cool, it felt like much was left unexplored in that regard. But I should probably play the DLC to learn more on the past events.
I'm currently 7 hours in to RE4 remake and had just finished RE8 the night before starting RE4, also bought RE 2 remake, the only reason why I'm not giving RE7 a chance is because it looks scarier than anything I've seen.

@@gostunv unfortunately a metric fuck ton will never get to experience Half-Life Alyx. I wouldn't wanna play it bc i never played Half Life 1/2. It would be amazing if Valve would remake these games for the current generations. PS5/XSX
To me Resident Evil 7 was when Capcom got one my radar again. I hadn’t bought a Capcom game in years then I played RE7, Monster Hunter World, RE2R, and played the best DMC games to catch up for 5. I fell in love with the fucked up world Ethan entered. It did everything Resident Evil was meant to be but in a first person perspective. It feels like several types of horror movies, one for each character. I hope RE8 does what this game did.
Hmmm idk. Wasn't a fan of the setting. Felt to much like Outlast and the mold monsters weren't really scary compared to Re2 remake zombies and Lickers in a city.
@@UnifiedEntity Not at all, outlast was more of a horror walking simulator, this is a actual survival horror plus even if it is too much like outlast its MUCH better than it the scares are way more intense the atomsphere is way creepier among other things, and the monsters arent that scary true but the people in the family are the scariest ive ever seen in any game or movie this games scares beats really any game ive ever played.
@@UnifiedEntity I agree that the molders feel pretty repetitive. I nonetheless loved RE7 and I feel like the antagonists personnalities and clear theme of fucked up family relationships were a step up from RE2 (I only playe as claire so far though) where you only have the "Umbrella is evil" aspect. Even if yes, enemy variety is better in RE2. I think that if RE8 manages to use 7's uprades in terms of story and atmosphere and combine it with 2's variety we might be going places.
@@xoafallen6239 idk how youre scared of a old country man and a little old ass lady. Especially when they curse so damn much that you can't help laughing the entire time.
When re7 released i was afraid of horror so much that i would hide away if anyone tried to show me any scarry movies or games. So when i got Re7 i actually enjoyed it a lot even tho most of the time i covered my eyes like with Mia first encounter or when margret became a boss. Re7 is just a beautiful well crafted game that even made me love horror
My theory is this: RE8 and 9 will be first person. And the remakes of 4, Veronica, etc will all keep the 3rd person. That way everyone wins. I love both perspectives. Can’t wait for RE8! ❤️🦁🙏👍
Correction for the message bit: the “stay away” message is not the one Ethan got that brought him to Dulvey. Rather, that was the last message he had received from Mia prior to her disappearance. The message he actually got was a simple “I’m in Dulvey, find me” email. For some reason this is not communicated well at all and the email can be easily missed.
After having played through the game like 5 times on normal with friends, I had gotten used to the scares and I knew exactly what to do in each situation. The game was just that to me- a game. Playing on madhouse immediately brought back the tension. Things are switched up enough to make sure you don’t quite know what’s going on, and the way jack just teleports around the house to fuck with you totally caught me off guard. I had just beat him in the garage, and “knew” that he wouldn’t be around until I drained the bath, but then, as I ran up to the upstairs door, I heard heavy footsteps that could only be Jack’s. Needless to say, I immediately ran back to the safe room and got up to go make food
DUDE I have been telling you and the completionist for YEARS! That you need to play this game. I’m glad you finally did. I’ll watch the video soon. RE7 with all dlc is a damn masterpiece.
@@genjitsunokami lol but no man. He has NOT completed the game. He hadn’t done an episode on it. He said he’s been working on it for years lol. Hopefully before RE8
Just wanna say that the comedic tone and the editing style that went into this is such a good addition. Looking forward to more videos like this as well as 1 hour videos of ships turning ;)
When i first heard of the game coming out, i was expecting it to fail because it was so different to the previous games and i didn’t expect to like The new character, Ethan. I was so glad that the game proved me wrong.
Re7 from the beginning until after the battle with Marguerite is my favorite "section" in any Resident Evil game. Though after that it goes from an amazing game to just a good one.
Ther7 yeah, would’ve been a surprise! The enemies in the game were very mundane. The dog like ones were a pain but everything else (the regular molded) very easy. Heads were huge
I've been playing it because of gamepass, and I've just finished the marguerite part and her boss fight really let me down. Really enjoyed Jack's fight tho, especially the second one, but her's was just boring; I find the enemies, especially no-humans ones, are really boring to fight
I was eating chocolate ice cream, had to stop because of the toilet scene. I would blame Ralph but I also don't know why on earth I thought watching a horror game review while eating was a good idea. 😂
Just spent all of yesterday playing RE7, man what an absolute gem. For those that haven't played it even if you've never played a Resident Evil game before, highly recommend it!
Easily up there with the funniest of your videos ever. It really shows that you had such a good time with both the game and making the video. Had me in absolute stitches with the sound edits and sarcastic asides. "Really could have done with that information a little earlier, mate." XD
Many people missed out on Resident Evil 7 because first person and 'Outlast and P.T copy'. Many people didn't like Ethan because he lack of reaction and personality. I personally like him and Mia.
I didn't play RE7 for the first year it was out because I was waiting for VR support for PC. When it didn't materialize it just kind of fell off because I'm busy and there's so much other stuff to play. I literally finally finished RE7 maybe two days before this video lol
The Louisiana driving shots were SO True Detective S1. I do love the few nice homages to other properties, and the game does them without feeling like it's just ripping them off or shirking its Resident Evil heritage. Such a fun game.
Cant believe you didnt mention the VR. It elevates this already amazing experience 10 fold. Definitely the scariest ive ever played. Dont think id say the same if id played it normally.
The staples to the hand works because Ethan was infected with the Mold when he was knocked out, over the course of the night Ethan begins to experience the hallucinations that accompany Eveline's Mold, he was just not infected long enough for Eveline to control since Eveline dies that morning
This gotta be one of my favorite games in the series. I had the best time going through the puzzles and the house, getting shit scared. It really feels like a RE again.
Playing this in VR was the scariest, most immersive entertainment/media experience I've ever had in my life. No movie, TV show, book is anywhere near as scary. Incredible experience.
He doesn't actually receive that video of Mia on webcam, he receives an email from her telling him to come get her at Baker Estate in Dulvey, Louisiana.
Hell yeah. Hope they do more of this. Freak’n love RE7. Got me in the series and I hope they keep up more gritty horror rather than the various other versions they went with 8.
"I love Joe; Joe is amazing; Joe is the best. ...I wonder if he thinks about ME too...?" LOL. Love that you're going back and doing this review for fun. I really enjoyed the game and DLC.
SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE SAID THIS BUT MUST ADD VR, VR, VR! BY FAR THE BEST VR TITLE PLAYED IT FRESH IN VR HAD NIGHTMARES FOR WEEKS! GREAT REVIEW. LOVED YOUR TAKE ON IT!
As a big RE fan, I just kinda skipped over RE 7 because it didn't seem like "a Resident Evil" game. It's half off right now on Steam and I think I'll pick it up. Thanks Shill Up!
I felt the same way you did but after picking it up it’s literally the best resident evil game since RE4, and just as good resident evil 2 remake which is one of my favorite games this last decade. Definitely pick it up you won’t regret
I just wanted to play this game in VR so bad, then I heard they ported it to PC and got excited only to find out you can't play it in VR on PC! WTF Capcom!
Manly O'Beeferton Why buy a PSVR when he could just spend $40 and buy VorpX on PC and play it VR there? I haven’t tested it yet but it’s said to be just as polished as normal VR.
Been sub’d since 2018. Just now going back through the re catalogue and happy to see your thoughts. Been playing the series since 1999, and love seeing what you think. Re7 isn’t just one of the best in the series, but in the entire genre.
@@Rabaikal agree. I would say RE7 might be the only full AAA title that fully utilized it though. There are so many amazing "experiences" on pc, and modded old games, but built from the ground up for vr.. they are few and far between. I really hope the companies finally embrace the tech. Its here and works. It's not a gimmick that's going away. I understand fully why they haven't because of the install base, but I'm ready. This shit is great.
RE7 was my top game of 2017. It was probably the most immersed I've ever felt in a video game period. I would almost secretly dread progressing in it because I loved being in that environment so much. Not that I wanna be in a Louisiana trash house but I just loved exploring that game so much. I remember my heart racing right before I had to go down in the basement and slowly rounding corners. I think I've played it 3 times since then and every time I wish I could experience it again for the first time again. I hope to god they follow a similar formula for RE8 with a slow first person ACTUAL horror game. Thanks for the video!
Ethan never actually got the video message from Mia, it was on the boat computer that Ethan never found due to getting captured by Eveline. Also, I wanna see a full playthrough!!
I can't say how happy I am that you put that song in the beggining. People really don't talk about how good the True Detectives season 1 vibe is with this game.
I love First person horror I just bought Amnesia and Soma and both thus far are incredible, Resident Evil 7 is up there with the best of them, I loved this Game. The father is one Creepy and intimidating individual. Glad you got around to it. Belter.

@@gostunv unfortunately a metric fuck ton will never get to experience Half-Life Alyx. I wouldn't wanna play it bc i never played Half Life 1/2. It would be amazing if Valve would remake these games for the current generations. PS5/XSX
"My name is Jeff" so unexpected. Had me cracking up for the rest of the video.
Me too... It's so timid....what is that even from
@@filipinowhiteboy that quote is from Channing Tatum in 21 Jumpstreet.
To me Resident Evil 7 was when Capcom got one my radar again. I hadn’t bought a Capcom game in years then I played RE7, Monster Hunter World, RE2R, and played the best DMC games to catch up for 5.
I fell in love with the fucked up world Ethan entered. It did everything Resident Evil was meant to be but in a first person perspective. It feels like several types of horror movies, one for each character. I hope RE8 does what this game did.
Hmmm idk. Wasn't a fan of the setting. Felt to much like Outlast and the mold monsters weren't really scary compared to Re2 remake zombies and Lickers in a city.
@@UnifiedEntity Not at all, outlast was more of a horror walking simulator, this is a actual survival horror plus even if it is too much like outlast its MUCH better than it the scares are way more intense the atomsphere is way creepier among other things, and the monsters arent that scary true but the people in the family are the scariest ive ever seen in any game or movie this games scares beats really any game ive ever played.
@@UnifiedEntity I agree that the molders feel pretty repetitive. I nonetheless loved RE7 and I feel like the antagonists personnalities and clear theme of fucked up family relationships were a step up from RE2 (I only playe as claire so far though) where you only have the "Umbrella is evil" aspect. Even if yes, enemy variety is better in RE2.
I think that if RE8 manages to use 7's uprades in terms of story and atmosphere and combine it with 2's variety we might be going places.
@@xoafallen6239 idk how youre scared of a old country man and a little old ass lady. Especially when they curse so damn much that you can't help laughing the entire time.
Same here. RE7 and DMC5 are some of the best sequels I've ever played. They are absolutely crushing it lately
That game was so well written. I still remember many of the bakers dialogues.
And it's the most scary resident evil game by far
RE VII in VR was an insane experience. After playing it that way, I can't play it in flat mode.
Me too. It's just infinitely better in VR. Can't wait for Re8 VR on psvr2 on ps5.
If only they had it in VR on PC...
When re7 released i was afraid of horror so much that i would hide away if anyone tried to show me any scarry movies or games. So when i got Re7 i actually enjoyed it a lot even tho most of the time i covered my eyes like with Mia first encounter or when margret became a boss. Re7 is just a beautiful well crafted game that even made me love horror
That in Resident Evil 7 as hard as f*** difficulty wise and achievement wise
My theory is this: RE8 and 9 will be first person. And the remakes of 4, Veronica, etc will all keep the 3rd person. That way everyone wins. I love both perspectives. Can’t wait for RE8! ❤️🦁🙏👍
You seem to be right so far
Joshua Andrade 🦁❤️🙏👍 live reactions on my channel
Lion of Truth Dont push it. Dont push it over the edge
Why not make this a choice in the games like overall other games have done this in the past like Skyrim or GTA
@@yagopacheco2855 because youd have to design the whole game around it its also why the first person view in GTA and RDR2 are so awkward
Correction for the message bit: the “stay away” message is not the one Ethan got that brought him to Dulvey. Rather, that was the last message he had received from Mia prior to her disappearance. The message he actually got was a simple “I’m in Dulvey, find me” email. For some reason this is not communicated well at all and the email can be easily missed.
“It essentially asks what if a Titan main played Resident Evil” probably the funniest thing I’ve heard in a while as a titan main
Jack Baker following you around the house. That is one of the most intense parts of resident evil ever.
After having played through the game like 5 times on normal with friends, I had gotten used to the scares and I knew exactly what to do in each situation. The game was just that to me- a game. Playing on madhouse immediately brought back the tension. Things are switched up enough to make sure you don’t quite know what’s going on, and the way jack just teleports around the house to fuck with you totally caught me off guard. I had just beat him in the garage, and “knew” that he wouldn’t be around until I drained the bath, but then, as I ran up to the upstairs door, I heard heavy footsteps that could only be Jack’s. Needless to say, I immediately ran back to the safe room and got up to go make food
@@reddonut1518 crazy thing as well is jack is so fast on madhouse, that first segment where u have to escape him weaponless was hard lol
@@juniordriver487 it’s fucking scary bro I had no idea he was so fast
What a timing mate
I just brought the game yesterday and im happy im not the only one playing this masterpiece this late.
DUDE I have been telling you and the completionist for YEARS! That you need to play this game. I’m glad you finally did. I’ll watch the video soon. RE7 with all dlc is a damn masterpiece.
I know I'm late, but Jirard played it on release with the scary game squad.
@@genjitsunokami lol but no man. He has NOT completed the game. He hadn’t done an episode on it. He said he’s been working on it for years lol. Hopefully before RE8
Stop calling everything a masterpiece cause it's not
@@christianalexander579 Lol that’s like, just your opinion, man.
Just wanna say that the comedic tone and the editing style that went into this is such a good addition. Looking forward to more videos like this as well as 1 hour videos of ships turning ;)
When i first heard of the game coming out, i was expecting it to fail because it was so different to the previous games and i didn’t expect to like The new character, Ethan.
I was so glad that the game proved me wrong.
So, what prompted you to buy and try this game before you were proven wrong?
@@Skull2dz I saw some positive reviews on the game and i eventually got it on Steam when it was on sale
That's how people were when RE 4 came out lol
RE 7 proved a lot of people wrong and that great
Ethan was pretty shitty though but great game.
This is not only a great review, but also a really funny and entertaining video in it's own right! I really like this direction of content.
This game made me want to start playing resident evil games again , can’t wait for the village next year
How is Village so far for you
Your video made me revisit this game, having just finished the RE 2 & 3 remake. Absolutely love it, might be my favorite in the series.
"A cast pulled right from Tiger King" Laughed pretty hard at that lol.
Solid joke lol
OMG lol you made a kick-ass review of this game. I really got a kick out of the witty remarks and humor you added. Great stuff. New sub here
Re7 from the beginning until after the battle with Marguerite is my favorite "section" in any Resident Evil game. Though after that it goes from an amazing game to just a good one.
This 100%. The ship part was pretty meh
Ther7 yeah, would’ve been a surprise! The enemies in the game were very mundane. The dog like ones were a pain but everything else (the regular molded) very easy. Heads were huge
I've been playing it because of gamepass, and I've just finished the marguerite part and her boss fight really let me down. Really enjoyed Jack's fight tho, especially the second one, but her's was just boring; I find the enemies, especially no-humans ones, are really boring to fight
Most people would agree with this
it went from damn near perfect to mediocre as soon as that last fight with jack finished
Finally good to see Re7 getting love. Played it when it first came out, streamed it for a buddy to watch while I played, and I loved every second.
“15 hours of total gameplay”
Laughs in completionist Madhouse and Nightmare runs
Its crazy. First playthrough is something like 14 hours.
Now i just breeze through the game in a little under 2 hours.
@@cobrabear6497Average Resident Evil game experience
@@cobrabear6497that’s crazy lol I can never do it fast 🤣 takes days
Jack Baker is the best villain of all time. He actually had me tearing up before the end.
Zoe! Get yo ass back to the house!
Hans landa from inglourious bastards is pretty cool too
He’s no Gaunter O’Dimm
I was JUST biting into a taco when you talking about Bedroom, gosh dangit man.
I was eating noodles, when the character picks up the telescope from the toilet.
I was eating chocolate ice cream, had to stop because of the toilet scene. I would blame Ralph but I also don't know why on earth I thought watching a horror game review while eating was a good idea. 😂
I love videos that come from a genuine passion for a game. Keep these coming!
I've beaten the game like 5 times and I never even knew you could ring the doorbell at the gate
Just spent all of yesterday playing RE7, man what an absolute gem. For those that haven't played it even if you've never played a Resident Evil game before, highly recommend it!
RE7 is one of my favorite games, glad you enjoyed it.
Easily up there with the funniest of your videos ever. It really shows that you had such a good time with both the game and making the video. Had me in absolute stitches with the sound edits and sarcastic asides.
"Really could have done with that information a little earlier, mate." XD
Hell yeah to that true detective reference. Also, how haven't you played resident evil 7???
You mentioned my 2 biggest takeaways from this. Haha
Many people missed out on Resident Evil 7 because first person and 'Outlast and P.T copy'. Many people didn't like Ethan because he lack of reaction and personality. I personally like him and Mia.
I'm a huge RE fan... Still haven't played 7. Never interested me at all
I didn't play RE7 for the first year it was out because I was waiting for VR support for PC. When it didn't materialize it just kind of fell off because I'm busy and there's so much other stuff to play. I literally finally finished RE7 maybe two days before this video lol
The Louisiana driving shots were SO True Detective S1. I do love the few nice homages to other properties, and the game does them without feeling like it's just ripping them off or shirking its Resident Evil heritage. Such a fun game.
Great review. I don't play horror games very often, but the story and gameplay, as well as the variety of interesting DLC is really intriguing
It took me a few years to finally play RE 7 as well. I loved it and have played through it numerous times now.
Cant believe you didnt mention the VR. It elevates this already amazing experience 10 fold. Definitely the scariest ive ever played. Dont think id say the same if id played it normally.
The staples to the hand works because Ethan was infected with the Mold when he was knocked out, over the course of the night Ethan begins to experience the hallucinations that accompany Eveline's Mold, he was just not infected long enough for Eveline to control since Eveline dies that morning
I don't think we really need an explanation though. This is from a series where a guy can punch boulders and a 150 lb girl can lift a rail gun
@@LeeEverett1 fair, but there was an in universe explanation this time
This game is absolutely amazing, it's so well done and creative. I can't wait for RE8.
I feel exactly the same! I finish the game a few days ago and as a big fan of the franchise I regret not playing this art piece before.
This gotta be one of my favorite games in the series.
I had the best time going through the puzzles and the house, getting shit scared. It really feels like a RE again.
I just bought RE 7 and 8 gold bundle for $32. No regrets, and I can’t wait to play as Joe
Playing this in VR was the scariest, most immersive entertainment/media experience I've ever had in my life. No movie, TV show, book is anywhere near as scary. Incredible experience.
RE7 in VR got me back into gaming after 7 years. Best gaming experience ever.
He doesn't actually receive that video of Mia on webcam, he receives an email from her telling him to come get her at Baker Estate in Dulvey, Louisiana.
Yeah it took me 2 years to realize that
Did anyone else get Evil Dead vibes during the Dueling Chainsaws scene? Man! There’s some absolutely awesome moments in this game
I just love your commentary. Your personality is great
I’d be down for more backlog reviews easily.
Okay u sold me on this, normally I dont agree with most of your reviews but ironically I loved Wolcen and now this because of your review
Lol RE7 doesnt get enough mention during the remake reviews. Also how good is the first person, so much more freaky.
Honestly, i feel like this is one Skill Up's best review videos of a game. It was just... really funny and accurate.
“Sir this is a Wendy’s restaurant” I died 😂😂
A Wendy's? Oh I'm sorry I was looking for Burger King
Hell yeah. Hope they do more of this. Freak’n love RE7. Got me in the series and I hope they keep up more gritty horror rather than the various other versions they went with 8.
Wait I’m actually speechless. This is such an amazing game that when I saw this pop up I thought “there’s no way Ralph didn’t play this”
"I love Joe; Joe is amazing; Joe is the best. ...I wonder if he thinks about ME too...?" LOL. Love that you're going back and doing this review for fun. I really enjoyed the game and DLC.
ethan didn’t actually ignore mia! in his inventory he has an email from “mia” telling him to come to the baker residence :)
SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE SAID THIS BUT MUST ADD VR, VR, VR! BY FAR THE BEST VR TITLE PLAYED IT FRESH IN VR HAD NIGHTMARES FOR WEEKS! GREAT REVIEW. LOVED YOUR TAKE ON IT!
As a big RE fan, I just kinda skipped over RE 7 because it didn't seem like "a Resident Evil" game. It's half off right now on Steam and I think I'll pick it up. Thanks Shill Up!
I felt the same way you did but after picking it up it’s literally the best resident evil game since RE4, and just as good resident evil 2 remake which is one of my favorite games this last decade.
Definitely pick it up you won’t regret
You rock, most entertaining review I've ever seen and heard. I also haven't played it yet, I know what to do now thanks to you.
I just wanted to play this game in VR so bad, then I heard they ported it to PC and got excited only to find out you can't play it in VR on PC! WTF Capcom!
I honestly think it's worth buying a PSVR headset for. It really does make it so much better, even with the lower resolution.
Manly O'Beeferton Why buy a PSVR when he could just spend $40 and buy VorpX on PC and play it VR there? I haven’t tested it yet but it’s said to be just as polished as normal VR.
Try VorpX, it’s a program that makes non VR games into VR and supposedly RE7 is well done in VR on it. It’s $40.
@@Mr.Honest247 I've seen this before bit wasn't sure if it was legit. They don't have a demo or trial version or anything. :[
Great video man. Your content always has me chuckling but this one had me laughing all the way through, whilst still being a really good review.
I literally just bought the game on sale on steam an hour ago I loved it on ps4
Thanks for the heads-up! Been waiting for a sale to snag the Gold Edition!
literally.
Spagett ! Yeah
really enjoyed this video, i think this is a very good format. keep it up!
Here's to Resident Evil: Village being good too!
Been sub’d since 2018. Just now going back through the re catalogue and happy to see your thoughts. Been playing the series since 1999, and love seeing what you think. Re7 isn’t just one of the best in the series, but in the entire genre.
The best vr game on the market, especially for consoles.
So sad that they didn't stick the landing.
First 2/3rds are great though
I'd say only on consoles. VR on PC has some really good games that have full body tracking and proper controller support.
@@Rabaikal agree. I would say RE7 might be the only full AAA title that fully utilized it though. There are so many amazing "experiences" on pc, and modded old games, but built from the ground up for vr.. they are few and far between. I really hope the companies finally embrace the tech. Its here and works. It's not a gimmick that's going away. I understand fully why they haven't because of the install base, but I'm ready. This shit is great.
RE7 was my top game of 2017. It was probably the most immersed I've ever felt in a video game period. I would almost secretly dread progressing in it because I loved being in that environment so much. Not that I wanna be in a Louisiana trash house but I just loved exploring that game so much. I remember my heart racing right before I had to go down in the basement and slowly rounding corners. I think I've played it 3 times since then and every time I wish I could experience it again for the first time again. I hope to god they follow a similar formula for RE8 with a slow first person ACTUAL horror game. Thanks for the video!
"And since there isn't much else to play right now.."
Half-Life Alyx: "Am I a joke to you?"
1k for the way valve wanted you to play it, yeah no thanks.
SaltySkramz Pfft the Oculus plays it perfectly and you’ll save $600. You have options bro..
RE7 was my personal GotY of 2017. Amazing game.
Damn, this True Detective pun really got me. :D
This video got me to finally play this game. I loved it, thanks so much!
Stop trying to be funny. I do that all the time and it never works
go away..
Emulation no youuuuuu
Go
MadOrange644 ohhhhhhh!!!
What does it say about me that I laugh? 🤷♂️
Just replayed this with the current gen upgrade and yep, it’s still awesome.
Now play it using a VR set, I will await the inevitable "I can't believe it took me this long to play Resident Evil 7 in VR" video XD
I had to pause the video for about 3 minutes after the "Libertarian" joke from laughing. Great video, love the humor angle on this one.
Ethan never actually got the video message from Mia, it was on the boat computer that Ethan never found due to getting captured by Eveline.
Also, I wanna see a full playthrough!!
I can't say how happy I am that you put that song in the beggining. People really don't talk about how good the True Detectives season 1 vibe is with this game.
Everyone really out here calling Lucas “Travis”
I love First person horror I just bought Amnesia and Soma and both thus far are incredible, Resident Evil 7 is up there with the best of them, I loved this Game. The father is one Creepy and intimidating individual. Glad you got around to it. Belter.
