@@Hysteria98 It's been a while since I've played, but isn't Ethan injured in the original encounter with the possessed Mia? Beyond his hand, I mean. I always assumed he was moving slowly because he had stress fractures or something. I got a stress fracture once (in my tibia no less) and while I could still put weight on the leg and therefore I could technically walk, I had to be super, super careful about how I applied weight to it to avoid a massive, searing pain shooting up my leg, so rest assured I wouldn't have been able to run very fast.
@@trianglemoebius That could be possible. She threw his ass at that wall pretty hard when you first see her possessed. You’re also able to run much faster when you first take control of Ethan. She legit might have crippled dude for life lmao
One of the scariest parts for was when I was minding my own business, taking my time reading a note in the master bedroom thinking that when I’m in reading mode the game is paused, when jack popped up behind me screeching that he found me
Uh, you sure it was in the “master bedroom”? Last I checked, I’m pretty sure you couldn’t access that place until much later in the game, long after killing Jack in the morgue, lol.
Jack for me is the funniest stalker in RE series, because he... - Can smell you - Can surprise peek a boo you - Ask politely to stay right there - Worried about you
Watching headless Ethan run out of the car and suddenly stop to look back at it just for it to immediately burst into flames before a cut is fucking comical
For me it's the garage scene where Ethan does nothing but watch the Deputy get decapitated, and after standing there for like 20 seconds and Jack finally tries to swing at him, Ethan just walks past Jack and out of his range.
@@jesuslovesyou9645 i have accepted Christ, although I’m struggling with shyness. I hope He delivers me from it. I don’t know how to overcome it on my own
I love Jack as a character. But his teleportation is even more obvious and obnoxious on Madhouse difficulty; where he can appear around every corner even right after you used the stairs. There was also that strat to avoid him appearing behind Ethan ever since the demo - by simply having the back glued to the wall at all times which did not give him room to teleport.
You can despawn jack almost immediatly on madhouse. All you need to do is buy the key, get the broken shotgun and swap it with the real one. You probably need to sneak past Jack once.
Jack's randomness and unpredictability is probably his scariest feature. At least with other enemies, you can feel secure that if they don't see you, they won't find you. But Jack? He just might smell you anyhow.
The scene at around 4 minutes is so funny because despite that being a horrific scene in game, the fixed camera here makes Ethan look so passive. He's just chilling and barely thinks to raise a limp hand like "oh no, don't" as Jack chops this guy to pieces
@@asdbanz316 you can't, not till you have to fight Eveline in the attic, when your going through the guest house the second time you'll experience flashbacks of mia attacking you the first time you were in the guest house, in one of them mia throws your past self through a wall, this is the only time you get to see Ethan's face, although I never got to see it clearly. I'm sure if you look it up you'll see it, that is if you don't own the game. Ignore the name
I always thought it was kinda stupid how the cop didn't trust Ethan and then how he could not see Jack just behind him, but now it makes sense. I wouldn't trust a headless living person, and I certainly wouldn't see a person if they appeared behind me out of thin air
Tbf your a police officer going to check on a place that had a lot of missing people reports and the first person you see is ordering you to give you your gun ? Uh huh
Well you'd have to be skeptical in that situation, this house has been the main suspect of 20+ disappearances over 3 years, and you finally have actual contact with someone at the house. Giving Ethan a knife but keeping the gun was the smartest thing to do
What bugs me the most about the Bakers is how one of the DLCs show what a nice and kind family they were before Evelyn corrupted them. It really makes you loath Evelyn for how she turned these kind and caring people into such nasty monsters.
Jack WAS the best stalker and easily most scary. What I think people miss is that attacking Lady D or the Tyrant in the RPD, you never really get a sense that you're dealing any damage. With Jack, it DOES feel like you're dealing damage, but that he seems to have an infinite HP pool. That somehow makes him seem more alive and less of an inanimate object. Like shooting a wall in RE8 feels the same as shooting Lady D? Does that make sense?
I think what really makes Jack scary though is that out all the stalker enemies, at least initally, he looks to be legitmentally human- like you or me. All the other tryant and stalker enemies, even Lady Dimitrescu, had very obviously unhuman features. Not Jack though. jack starts off looking completely human, and slowly transforms into what we'd expect of the typical stalker enemy from resident evil, and I think that what makes him scary. Because we know for a fact he once was human, a regular guy, but that dosen't matter now... were just slowly seeing him twist into this horrid beast, and I think thats what adds to the true terror. We could become just like Jack if we aren't careful in the game.
@@PnALynx Its all the more heart-breaking when you realize that these creepy mass murderers used to be good people who were corrupted by a sentient bioweapon.
"We could become just like Jack if we aren't careful in the game" Ethan does become like Jack, he becomes infected with the fungus after he gets knocked out by Jack in the beggining.
I love Jack over Mr. X just because he's so fun in his taunts, and he's the only one to call to you other than Lady D, and she isn't all that appealing or fun in her lines.
she's way overrated anyways. Also kinda underused. The only kinds of people that are so obsessed with her are some really sad individuals with mommy issues. Wanna grab some shovels and dig up Siegmund Freud, he would be delighted to hear about this.
@@unamelable256 who cares he's a hero now and i think the designers know he's the best protagonist he cared for someone in need god damn it that was zoe and he got chris to try and go save her and he saved mia and rose... no one has right to say he's awful look im not one for saying people have awful opinions but this is one of those times i know he's the best protagonist cause he's got heart deep down i love him as a protagonist and im sure the designers would agree with that
Although Jack is insanely scary, just remember what happens when he takes over the entire car instead of you. Because in my opinion that is the funniest part in the entire game. He even says "I'm gonna get ya!"
I remember first playing resident evil 7 and that moment at the start where jack appears on the road to the guest house actually scared me so badly that I genuinely had to take a break for a second. That was when I knew it was gonna be a hell of a ride.
Thats interesting, in the garage scene i didn’t get to the car in time so he started driving the car trying to run me over, i have to keep running up to the car when it was turning and stab him until he lost control and the car went up in flames if j remember correctly.
Jacks animations and movement is just so good. When he turned the corner at the end he didn’t just walk like a robot, he had all the body movement and balance of a real life person walking around a corner knowing you’re there and coming to get you.
Fun facts: during the making of this game, Capcom actually revolutionized how they do game development, and managed to make a quality game in half the time of the previous entries from years earlier. In the old way, separate departments would handle different parts of an asset. One team would make all the 3D models. Another would do the animation. Another would do the game code tied to the asset. In capcoms new way, projects for broken up by asset not team. What this means is that the same person who designed Jacks 3d model was the same person who animated it and coded it. No time was lost passing it back and forth between teams. One guy sat there and worked on it until it was near perfect, and it could just be plugged into the game engine like a Lego piece.
In my opinion jack is far more superior in the ways of threatening and engaging the player compared to Lady D, When i played jack’s presence was always there taunting you, Lady D in the other hand I came across her like 3 times. Honestly I never felt threatened by her because she just doesn’t seem scary, it’s probably because she literally became a meme and people simped over her before the game was even released ffs. Just the vampire fantasy element just wasn’t scary to me compared to jack’s insane and grimy style and persona is actually some what scary to me Why am I at near 1k likes? Nice and glad to see people are still agreeing and arguing in the comments 👌
It’s because she is so easily avoidable, and provides basically no threat except when she pops up behind you when you don’t expect her. She doesn’t rush you, does have long range attacks, and is easily out-runnable. Basically useless as a stalker, she only provides a minimal distraction when gathering the heads for the statues, and in the area where she cuts off Ethan’s hand. And even then in that area it was super easy to run around her.
@Erwin Rommel don’t think it was a huge let down still quality like but idk man I preferred resident evil 7 over it more even tho I think they’re the same quality in a way
@Erwin Rommel no idea how you think that but I guarantee you got in your own head. Sometimes my expectations alone ruin a game for me. I thought village was better than biohazard. Great games, both of em
I think it also has to do with the feeling of claustrophobia in the Baker mansion. The castle in 8 is much much larger so you feel a bit safer in that you have more room to roam with a lower liklihood of stumbling upon her than stumbling upon jack in the much smaller house
@@BFancybones That and just it feels so much more safer and excapable in the big open rooms and mommy dom gf sized hallways, compared to the baker masions normal sized rooms and passages
It's kinda obvious that they don't keep characters after they played out their scenes but it's still amazing to see a little behind the curtains. This game is amazing, I loved almost every minute of it. It's one of those game where I wish I could go back and experience it again like it's my first time playing it.
Ah man, I remember first seeing this game. I was sick in 3rd or 4th grade watching CoryXKenshin play it at home. It was amazing. And actually playing it for myself a few years after was also amazing.
How is that even possible? For me he was easily the scariest re stalker in the scariest re game and the begging of the game was the most memorable. Very charismatic and unique and definitely the scariest while he is following you.
Most people who say Resident Evil 4 is the best usually started with it. It is not even close to being the best, it's a good game, not a good Resident Evil game if that makes sense. Say play the Resident Evil 1 remake, it curb stomps Resident Evil 4 and actually is survival horror, not survival action.
The original was by far the best as far as being a straight survival game like it was intended 4 is where they took it and turned it into just a horror based shooter game I never understood why that's everyone's favorite when for me that was the beginning of the end for the series
Seeing how the NPCs in this game work off-camera makes the game look janky and unpolished, but during regular gameplay it looks and feels natural and scary.
I saw from a video that you can actually duck under Jack's swing at 0:39 and tested it myself and it does indeed work. You just have to duck to the left side while still moving forward. Pretty cool actually
Yes, Yes, Yes! Thanks for doing this awesome vid. You do amazing work and I always look forward to your vids especially the resident evil ones. You deserve far more subs. Keep up the great work.
The biggest thing that makes jack so much scarier is the randomness to his dynamic actions, like breaking through the wall, taunting you with a healing bottle after he cuts off your leg in the pantry (which requires getting hit to even happen), the fact that he knows where you will most likely hide, the fact that if he gets to the car first then he tries to run *YOU* over instead. It's just so unnerving and is missing from alot of the stalkers that came after.
With these more modern stalker enemies I'm curious to if you've considered looking into Haunting Ground and its stalkers. With the differences in personality and stalking styles along with seeing how the game can let you seamlessly roam between multiple giant areas without loading screens makes me think it would be a fantastic subject for videos like this one.
3:52 Seeing the third-person view of this scene makes this moment even more infuriation, as we can now see that Ethan was standing right in front of the deputy, with his hands fully visible, yet this deputy, who has been told multiple times by Ethan that there are multiple murderous people within this house, is still fully convinced that Ethan intentionally closed the garage door behind them. Truly one of the dumbest characters, let alone cop characters, in gaming history.
Yeah I like deputy but his assumption of ethan was unbelievably stupid, thinking that some panicking Caucasian guy begging for a weapon was part of a missing person's call to a decrepit house in the middle of nowhere in Louisiana
@@DinoGirl well you see. Jack never wanted to kill Ethan or anybody really, he just wanted to “take them for a ride (woohoo)” in their cars and chase them around his house with a shovel whilst playing hide and seek / peekaboo. He’s a real gentle soul too and a family man. Making sure Ethan is nice and feed by insisting he eat his supper just goes to show his loving nature. Finally, he is incredibly talented, preforming flawless donuts in a subpar car in a rather small garage. All of the above points mentioned, you can see that pop is a jolly and most jubilant character and he is most misunderstood.
It's why I now only play on madhouse difficulty. It's so fun to experience stealth in a game where stealth isn't a mechanic. It adds an entirely new mechanic to the game, making it even more fun
I think it was the bit in single player where Jack will do shit like purposely cut off your foot with a shovel as opposed to killing you at times simply so he can taunt you after which he will set down a healing item for you to use so he can chase you more
Interesting fact: you can skip the parts at the beginning where jack breaks through the wall or where he cuts off your leg and forces you to use the medicine on it if your fast enough to avoid him and get to the laundry room before that happens and if you do that the wall jack normally breaks through will stay unbroken for the rest of the game
I made the mistake of playing my first play through of Re7 in Vr........Jack Baker is the scariest thing I've seen and I legit get nightmares about him.
Some things i noticed about jack during my time playing: 1) lets say your running past a doorway or single lane where he can see you he will take like a second and a half until he says a line like “your wasting your time” and then he will chase you (scarily very slowly) 2) i once did a test to see if i could hide somewhere other than the garage so i hid in the corner of thr living room and the first time he walked into the pantry he didnt see me but then turned his head (he was out of sight for me) and he saw me, so after losing him i hid to the left of the sofa in the living room and the thing i noticed here is that not only did he not see me when going into the pantry this time, but if you and him are in a close space like the living room and pantry he will eventually wander into where you are (without him seeing you) and find you
Finally, one of these videos I can watch. Resident Evil 7 is the only recent RE game I've managed to play, so I've kinda had to avoid the other videos for fear of spoilers. Ya know, it's funny. I much prefer a slightly more 'human' character like Jack or the Lady from the new game, over someone like the Nemesis. Like, I almost LIKE Jack at some points. Sure, he's a weird creepy un-dying old man trying to kill you. But, he feels like a real dude sometimes. He feels like an actual human that's been involved in some fucked up shit. And he straight up messes with you sometimes, like during the car/garage scene when he hops in the car to mess up your steering. Someone like the Nemesis just feels like a game mechanic. He feels like an obstacle as opposed to a character. He might as well just be a blocked staircase or locked door that happens to be able to kill you.
Me too. It also never feels silly because it makes sense for jack to hunt you quite innefective. Since he likes to play with your head. Mr. X on the other hand is more intimidating until you realise how bad he is at his job of killing you.
I feel the same for all of the antagonist Bakers, actually. I liked how their personalities were distorted and how it made them scary - they were believably insane *because* they were flawed. (That "STAY. THE FUCK. OUT!" door-slam from Marguerite was *whack*.) Their powers didn't make them suddenly geniuses and that really sold them for me. Even Lucas made stupid mistakes, and he was built up in the lore justifiably as the 'inventor' smart-ass member of the family. In my opinion, they bottled the good stuff again with RE7 that they hadn't really achieved (for me) since the original first three RE games... and then kind of lost it again for RE8. I know Village has it's fans but for me, RE dropped off when it shifted tone starting with RE4 and beyond.
I love pushing my back up against the corner of the room right after the Mia boss fight. No feasible way he can get behind you, but as soon as you inch out of that corner he pulls a "Nothing personnel kid!"
I wanted to die when I was trying to do the eagle light puzzle because I lost a ton of health and wasted a ton of ammo. I started just knifing Jack on the stairs because I didn't think it was possible to kill him during that phase and I was just messing around waiting for him to kill me. I ended up killing him unbelievably easily without taking any damage whatsoever lmao.
You know how big that garage had to be to have a 1969 Plymouth in it doing fucking donuts? MASSIVE! I’m more impressed on how Jack built that car than anything else.
What makes Jacks encounter so scary is not his character specifically but how Ethan runs slower than a turtle
This is what I hate about the game more than ANYTHING. I have never gotten over Ethan's movement speed, and it's still bad in Resi 8.
If Ethan is slower than a turtle, then Jack is slower than a snail.
@@Hysteria98 It's been a while since I've played, but isn't Ethan injured in the original encounter with the possessed Mia? Beyond his hand, I mean.
I always assumed he was moving slowly because he had stress fractures or something. I got a stress fracture once (in my tibia no less) and while I could still put weight on the leg and therefore I could technically walk, I had to be super, super careful about how I applied weight to it to avoid a massive, searing pain shooting up my leg, so rest assured I wouldn't have been able to run very fast.

In the old way, separate departments would handle different parts of an asset. One team would make all the 3D models. Another would do the animation. Another would do the game code tied to the asset.
In capcoms new way, projects for broken up by asset not team. What this means is that the same person who designed Jacks 3d model was the same person who animated it and coded it. No time was lost passing it back and forth between teams. One guy sat there and worked on it until it was near perfect, and it could just be plugged into the game engine like a Lego piece.
Anyone else find it freaking hilarious that Ethan is just a headless body?
I mean, it's understandable if jack fucking stomps his head.
@@ParanointDE True😄
@Luis Why?
no, because in first person shooter games characters are always headless
@@ottwarrior Yeah, but you never see that
What I find way more interesting here is how emotive Ethan is when you’re not in control of him despite being a no headed manikin
In my opinion jack is far more superior in the ways of threatening and engaging the player compared to Lady D, When i played jack’s presence was always there taunting you, Lady D in the other hand I came across her like 3 times. Honestly I never felt threatened by her because she just doesn’t seem scary, it’s probably because she literally became a meme and people simped over her before the game was even released ffs. Just the vampire fantasy element just wasn’t scary to me compared to jack’s insane and grimy style and persona is actually some what scary to me
Why am I at near 1k likes? Nice and glad to see people are still agreeing and arguing in the comments 👌
It’s because she is so easily avoidable, and provides basically no threat except when she pops up behind you when you don’t expect her. She doesn’t rush you, does have long range attacks, and is easily out-runnable. Basically useless as a stalker, she only provides a minimal distraction when gathering the heads for the statues, and in the area where she cuts off Ethan’s hand. And even then in that area it was super easy to run around her.
@Erwin Rommel don’t think it was a huge let down still quality like but idk man I preferred resident evil 7 over it more even tho I think they’re the same quality in a way
@Erwin Rommel no idea how you think that but I guarantee you got in your own head. Sometimes my expectations alone ruin a game for me. I thought village was better than biohazard. Great games, both of em
I think it also has to do with the feeling of claustrophobia in the Baker mansion. The castle in 8 is much much larger so you feel a bit safer in that you have more room to roam with a lower liklihood of stumbling upon her than stumbling upon jack in the much smaller house
@@BFancybones That and just it feels so much more safer and excapable in the big open rooms and mommy dom gf sized hallways, compared to the baker masions normal sized rooms and passages
For a first person game the player animation is pretty detailed ( most of them at least)
It's actually kind of impressive how good a lot of this looks in game when it looks so bad from other angles.
kind of insane really, it’s interesting
They optimize the shit out of their games. This is why re engine is so popular.
just wait till you hear about movies
6:14 ARE YOU WINNING SON????
Makes you realise how good the animations are in this game.
It's kinda obvious that they don't keep characters after they played out their scenes but it's still amazing to see a little behind the curtains. This game is amazing, I loved almost every minute of it. It's one of those game where I wish I could go back and experience it again like it's my first time playing it.
Ah man, I remember first seeing this game. I was sick in 3rd or 4th grade watching CoryXKenshin play it at home. It was amazing. And actually playing it for myself a few years after was also amazing.
Can't believe I almost completely forgot about him and I loved re7
How is that even possible? For me he was easily the scariest re stalker in the scariest re game and the begging of the game was the most memorable. Very charismatic and unique and definitely the scariest while he is following you.
4:22 Jack tries to cut off Ethan's non existent head
I especially love his voice lines... He really is scary. Many people say re4 is the best, but that was before my time, I almost like 7 the most
RE7 is the better survival-horror game. RE4 is the better action game.
@@EndOfSmallSanctuary97 Alright okay, sounds intriguing. I'll give it a shot one day
@@barmetler RE5 is also a great action game. I like how it neatly wraps up a lot of lore and plotlines from the earlier games
Most people who say Resident Evil 4 is the best usually started with it. It is not even close to being the best, it's a good game, not a good Resident Evil game if that makes sense. Say play the Resident Evil 1 remake, it curb stomps Resident Evil 4 and actually is survival horror, not survival action.
The original was by far the best as far as being a straight survival game like it was intended 4 is where they took it and turned it into just a horror based shooter game I never understood why that's everyone's favorite when for me that was the beginning of the end for the series
Seeing the missing part of his head & eye still inside the head was jaw dropping. Love this kind of content!
Ethan just running with no head, and the knife is just hilarious.
1:50 arguably the most important moment of RE 7 and RE 8...
If you know, you know.
Sadly
the most well earned jump scare in video game history is the first time jack appears after you ‘kill’ him in the garage
4:41 Jack enters the Backrooms.
Seeing how the NPCs in this game work off-camera makes the game look janky and unpolished, but during regular gameplay it looks and feels natural and scary.
5:08
"Oh, Mr. Baker, what are you doing down there? 0:"
I saw from a video that you can actually duck under Jack's swing at 0:39 and tested it myself and it does indeed work. You just have to duck to the left side while still moving forward. Pretty cool actually
I did it by accident and thought it was the coolest shit yet
The way some of those camera angles were set brings back memories.
4:28 this almost makes me want a new resident evil with the fixed cameras like the old games
I dont know whats scarier Killer Jack or headless Ethan
Your videos are just amazing, underrated!
Yes, Yes, Yes! Thanks for doing this awesome vid. You do amazing work and I always look forward to your vids especially the resident evil ones. You deserve far more subs. Keep up the great work.
The biggest thing that makes jack so much scarier is the randomness to his dynamic actions, like breaking through the wall, taunting you with a healing bottle after he cuts off your leg in the pantry (which requires getting hit to even happen), the fact that he knows where you will most likely hide, the fact that if he gets to the car first then he tries to run *YOU* over instead. It's just so unnerving and is missing from alot of the stalkers that came after.
5:20 i dont care how many times I replay this game, that still makes me recoil, what the hecc
Jack’s missing head piece being INSIDE HIS HEAD is so weird 😱
With these more modern stalker enemies I'm curious to if you've considered looking into Haunting Ground and its stalkers. With the differences in personality and stalking styles along with seeing how the game can let you seamlessly roam between multiple giant areas without loading screens makes me think it would be a fantastic subject for videos like this one.
Man that game gave me serious anxiety. Never again. 😂
3:30 me stumbling around the house stoned and repeatedly forgetting what I got up for
the boy in the thumbnail is "nate gentile" xD
I was on the phone to my sister while playing this, thinking it was a calm moment, I screamed soon as Jack walked through that wall the first time
Jack isn't really fast chasing you, it's more that they made Ethan move like a sloth with its legs tied together.
5:35 Ethan survived because he doesn't have a head.
3:52 Seeing the third-person view of this scene makes this moment even more infuriation, as we can now see that Ethan was standing right in front of the deputy, with his hands fully visible, yet this deputy, who has been told multiple times by Ethan that there are multiple murderous people within this house, is still fully convinced that Ethan intentionally closed the garage door behind them. Truly one of the dumbest characters, let alone cop characters, in gaming history.
Yeah I like deputy but his assumption of ethan was unbelievably stupid, thinking that some panicking Caucasian guy begging for a weapon was part of a missing person's call to a decrepit house in the middle of nowhere in Louisiana
Lmao I loved jack, whom I dubbed “pop”
He isn’t a murderer he’s just misunderstood :(
totally!!!
lmao how is he misunderstood?
@@DinoGirl well you see. Jack never wanted to kill Ethan or anybody really, he just wanted to “take them for a ride (woohoo)” in their cars and chase them around his house with a shovel whilst playing hide and seek / peekaboo. He’s a real gentle soul too and a family man. Making sure Ethan is nice and feed by insisting he eat his supper just goes to show his loving nature. Finally, he is incredibly talented, preforming flawless donuts in a subpar car in a rather small garage. All of the above points mentioned, you can see that pop is a jolly and most jubilant character and he is most misunderstood.
@@RussianRepublican1917 Is that u Mr Baker?
When they show how he was prior to infection in the main game and DLC it actually broke my heart.
I love seeing how characters act off camera. While I play games I try and guess how things work in it and I LOVE IT
4:27 the whole garage scene fascinated me on how Jack slips by. Thanks for this.👍🏼
3:04 this scene makes me laugh alot
Dom is really proud of Jack
He has Family
Jack on a Madhouse difficulty was so intense to deal with. Captured the true fear of a RE feel for me.
It's why I now only play on madhouse difficulty. It's so fun to experience stealth in a game where stealth isn't a mechanic. It adds an entirely new mechanic to the game, making it even more fun
Ah, so that's how Ethan avoided the steel bars in the car crash - he never had a head to begin with.
0:25 i think this has some meme potential
some?
@@umaydoruk4526 why you replying to my 3 year old comment lol
@@EyyOk why are you replying to my reply of your comment from 3 years ago
@@umaydoruk4526 i aint doin this
@@EyyOk smart choice.
I think it was the bit in single player where Jack will do shit like purposely cut off your foot with a shovel as opposed to killing you at times simply so he can taunt you after which he will set down a healing item for you to use so he can chase you more
Interesting fact: you can skip the parts at the beginning where jack breaks through the wall or where he cuts off your leg and forces you to use the medicine on it if your fast enough to avoid him and get to the laundry room before that happens and if you do that the wall jack normally breaks through will stay unbroken for the rest of the game
1:45
The death of Ethan - hits harder after RE8
"Ethan.. Ethan.... EEEEEETHAAAAN" scares me and makes me laugh at the same time
facts 😭😭
Finally the Video i was looking for
"You're wasting your time"
Bro, you're the one chasing me around your house with a freaking shovel
Nice work 👍🏼✨
Jack: “Welcome to the family son!”
Me: *Heart attack*
Just stopped by to say “Welcome to the family, son.”
1:00 you can actually see this in-game if you rush to that spot. I tried to see if he would get aggro'd but no you just see the magic ruined.
I made the mistake of playing my first play through of Re7 in Vr........Jack Baker is the scariest thing I've seen and I legit get nightmares about him.
You’re inhuman!
1:08 THAT UGGHHH GETS ME EVERY TIME 😅😅
7:33 Sims 5 looks pretty weird...
Watching the scenes from the angles at which your not supposed to watch it from reminds me of watching movie scenes without the special effects
"You thought you'd just slip out before dinner was done?" I just love every line that comes out of this guy lmao
Some things i noticed about jack during my time playing:
1) lets say your running past a doorway or single lane where he can see you he will take like a second and a half until he says a line like “your wasting your time” and then he will chase you (scarily very slowly)
2) i once did a test to see if i could hide somewhere other than the garage so i hid in the corner of thr living room and the first time he walked into the pantry he didnt see me but then turned his head (he was out of sight for me) and he saw me, so after losing him i hid to the left of the sofa in the living room and the thing i noticed here is that not only did he not see me when going into the pantry this time, but if you and him are in a close space like the living room and pantry he will eventually wander into where you are (without him seeing you) and find you
Finally, one of these videos I can watch. Resident Evil 7 is the only recent RE game I've managed to play, so I've kinda had to avoid the other videos for fear of spoilers.
Ya know, it's funny. I much prefer a slightly more 'human' character like Jack or the Lady from the new game, over someone like the Nemesis. Like, I almost LIKE Jack at some points. Sure, he's a weird creepy un-dying old man trying to kill you. But, he feels like a real dude sometimes. He feels like an actual human that's been involved in some fucked up shit. And he straight up messes with you sometimes, like during the car/garage scene when he hops in the car to mess up your steering. Someone like the Nemesis just feels like a game mechanic. He feels like an obstacle as opposed to a character. He might as well just be a blocked staircase or locked door that happens to be able to kill you.
Me too. It also never feels silly because it makes sense for jack to hunt you quite innefective. Since he likes to play with your head. Mr. X on the other hand is more intimidating until you realise how bad he is at his job of killing you.
I am just curious, but what are your thoughts on Mr.X ?
Is it due ps plus?
He is good when Evie isnt controling them, but when she is hes like that
I feel the same for all of the antagonist Bakers, actually. I liked how their personalities were distorted and how it made them scary - they were believably insane *because* they were flawed. (That "STAY. THE FUCK. OUT!" door-slam from Marguerite was *whack*.) Their powers didn't make them suddenly geniuses and that really sold them for me. Even Lucas made stupid mistakes, and he was built up in the lore justifiably as the 'inventor' smart-ass member of the family.
In my opinion, they bottled the good stuff again with RE7 that they hadn't really achieved (for me) since the original first three RE games... and then kind of lost it again for RE8. I know Village has it's fans but for me, RE dropped off when it shifted tone starting with RE4 and beyond.
Jack has got to be the most friendly stalker in RE.
He literally welcomes you into his family.
Missed your vids ! 😁
3:07
When you finish eating before anybody.
I’d love to see how the alien from alien isolation behaves off camera
Jack hitiing the ground and ethan running aways is so funny
I miss playing this in VR, but then again I'm not sure i can go through that kind of stress again.
I love pushing my back up against the corner of the room right after the Mia boss fight. No feasible way he can get behind you, but as soon as you inch out of that corner he pulls a "Nothing personnel kid!"
I wanted to die when I was trying to do the eagle light puzzle because I lost a ton of health and wasted a ton of ammo. I started just knifing Jack on the stairs because I didn't think it was possible to kill him during that phase and I was just messing around waiting for him to kill me. I ended up killing him unbelievably easily without taking any damage whatsoever lmao.
You know how big that garage had to be to have a 1969 Plymouth in it doing fucking donuts? MASSIVE!
I’m more impressed on how Jack built that car than anything else.
Hell yeah! Thanks
Great video! Them not caring that Jack can get stuck is fascinating 'cause it doesn't matter since the player is always moving anyway.
Great video. It's interesting to discover what happens behind the scenes in games. Things we never realize.
Great Video Slippy! :D
