I don't think that's a retcon about Lucas. Specially after the Chris DLC. It's just a father who loves his son and don't like to think about him as the psychopath that he is.
Yeah, saying this is a retcon is like saying that "learning who the killer was in a detective tv show is a retcon." Its obvious the Father thought that lucas was just infected like he himself was but in fact lucas had (iirc) drugs from umbrella or some other corporation to keep him out of evalyns control.
Its like a street thug getting training as a boxer, lucas got to keep being a violent psychopath while pretending it was Evalyn controlling him. The father had no real choice in doing the things he did, while lucas had the choice and was a psycho from the start.
I came here to say this.
It wasn't a retcon, it was just Jack's opinion. Parents always have a rosier view of their offspring. Nobody in the family was really able to come to grips with how disturbed Lucas was.
That was always how I took it.
And you're much more willing to believe that some demented overpowering demon child made him do it if that same demon child forced you to kill and eat humans yourself.
Chill Bro we’re talking about before the infection, Lucas was kinda crazy already before the infection, I assume the bakers were just in denial over how crazy he really was.
My comment was meant as an addition to Mike Salucci's, not as a replacement* sorry if I confused you.
Lucas was taking drugs from a 3rd party corporation to stay "sane" aka out of evalyns control. Everything lucas does after evalyn comes, chopping people up, cannibalism, turning people into zombies, murdering people with traps... Everything that the Baker father saw Lucas do (after the infection), the father assumed it was evalyn making him do it but lucas was 100% in control and did all of that on his own accord.
Chill Bro oh ok
George I love ya but what’s not to get with the Lucas line in the goo zone? Jack isn’t going to look sympathetic by saying “Me and marguerite ain’t killers but our boy is” - heck you can see Zoey pushing his hand out of the way and wandering off cause she knows Jack is bullshiting and lying to himself about Lucas in the goo zone. It’s a consistent bit of writing.
Not to mention, in the DLC, it goes into how he basically sold out his family to get a pseudo-antidote so he could be infected but not controlled, and keep an eye on his family/Eveline and send the information to The Connections. So it's not really retconned at all, I think Jack just doesn't want to think his boy is such an awful person, even though Zoey knows better.
Bukkarooo that would require George to play the dlc and or mentioned it
The other part that none of you notice - is the line "not even Zoe here". Then she pushes his hand away, gets up and wanders off angrily.
The entire time, he's played favorites with his children. He turns a blind eye to Lucas, and what he's done. He also blames Zoe for some of those things needlessly.
George, doesn't respond to comments, he gets off from ignoring his fans. You shouldn't tempt him with good points.(I've only seen him comment like once or twice)
Saint_Somnia meanwhile Zoey does know somethings wrong with Lucas. He used to watch her in the shower according to some of the little extra facts you can find in the DLCs if I remember correctly.
Although what is total bullshit is the fact that they expect us to believe Lucas got away with literal murder by simply locking someone in the attic of his house which was presently occupied by 3 other people who would hear a cry for help and this was long before "grandma" showed up. There's even still a lot of evidence up there and Lucas wrote down his confession in a place where it wasn't hard to find.
I'm surprised you have no words for the End of Zoe DLC.
Punching swamp zombies and making bombs out of sticks and a bag of "chems" was something of a masterpiece in my opinion
Duncan L. Hutton Dont forget doing a powerbomb on a swamp monster
The "Chems" is the Chem Fluid item from RE7 which is used in a variety of items in the game, in the case of End of Zoe DLC you mix Chem Fluid with a Tree Branch to make a Stake Bomb but the Chem Fluid can also be mixed with random critters you find along the way to make medicine capable of reattaching limbs in less than a minute.
Plus you find Chem Fluid and branches inside boxes on a swamp.
But I appreciate the explanation, at least I learned something
I just mean, other than the simplistic crafting, the bombs were the most understandable part. Buy yes, the regrowing limbs and stuff just because you rubbed a plant on it, even in bioweapon terrorist world, would be insane.
I remember someone talking about how stimpacks from fallout would eat about 10 pounds of fat and dehydrate you as defecated and burped constantly and also burn you alive the the heat of this energy transfer to build the scar tissue, all of a simple bullet wound. I couldn't imagine the mathematics for reattaching a working arm...
you learn something new everyday
@@LuckyBastard12345 and a suplex
I'm pretty sure that isn't a retcon about Lucas, it's Jack and the rest of his family not knowing what he is, or maybe more accurately just not wanting to think the worst of him.
The American Football poster is actually because they’re really big midwestern emo fans.
lmao
Everything ends.
honestly?
for sure
Spot on.
Maxine Caulfield
Let's just forget
Everything that's dead
Honestly, I just think the rest of the Bakers have a hard time believing Lucas is an insane killer. Somehow, Jack doesn't know it. But it's obvious to us that Lucas is a psycho compared to the others.
Not only that but as a parent you don't want to face the reality of someone you gave birth to becoming something so abhorrent in spite of your best efforts. Speaking from witnessing that same thing happen.
I love gunpoint!
I was coming here to say the same thing. Jack was either unaware or unwilling to believe Lucas was actually a psycho.
The father didnt see lucas's problems as a child, and when things started fucking up the "real" father assumed lucas was just taken over as well... But lucas was never taken over, he was (iirc) given drugs or treatment or something by umbrella to prevent his mind from being taken over.
In the end, lucas was just a very highly intelligent person with violent fantasies and no empathy/sympathy or remorse for his actions.
just a small correction for you chill bro, it wasnt umbrella, but rather the organizations, umbrella is a PMC now
All the plot points you didn't get about the Grandma and the morgue/molded are explained in the game George.
They explain that Evelyn was experimented on and those experiments made her age rapidly. So 4 years was more like 70 for her. But she's also able to project hallucinations. Which is why Mia's freaking out when she gains sanity for a moment saying "She's in my head".
Evelyn projects herself as a little girl. Technically, age-wise, she still is even if rapid aging makes her much older.
The bodies in the morgue are the people that they tried to make like the Bakers. Not everybody turns into psycho mutant people is the point.
Lucas was working with Umbrella or some other corrupt organization to get Evelyn to the Baker estate and report the stuff she was doing.
The whole E-series thing is that Evelyn is the E-Series that you learn about. I think they flat out explain that in the cave area where you get the serum to destroy her.
And the Lucas always was psycho. He killed his friend at his Birthday party. The rest of the Bakers were chill though.
And Evelyn showing up in the VHS tapes could also be another hallucination that's affecting Ethan while he's watching the tapes.
You are thinking way too much about a Resident Evil game.
He's not really thinking way too much about it, it's all written there plainly in the game.
Jeromy Perez How did he kill his friend? The journal just says he locked him in the attic.
"you're thinking too much"
Its literally explained in the game. For fuck's sake
"A mashup of Japanese writers writing both what they do and do not intimately understand." That line gave me flashbacks to listening to one of Sigint's radio calls in MGS3 that briefly touches on racism in America during the period the game is set in. I had a moment where I was fully cognizant of the fact I was listening to a conversation about American race relations translated by a Japanese writer's understanding of the topic and then translated _back_ to an American audience via the adaptational scriptwriters and actors and boy, was that a surreal feeling.
Is this how your inner voice sounds like when you are thinking?
Watch his Metal Gear Rising playthrough, he is an absolute poet at times.
*what* it sounds like. Darn national teachers teaching broken English.
While your feelings are valid about how the game dramatically shifts (like every other RE game) it's a design choice throughout the series, serving as a catharsis for overcoming all of the horror and allowing you to become an unstoppable badass in the final moments.
I think the family simply weren't aware of Lucas's bad seed.
Your Next Line is Wouldn’t that technically be Jack’s bad seed?
or they wanted to ignore it
God I love this game, I think the marriage of slow atmosperic horror at the beginning into urgent twitchy gunplay was perfect for the 7th entry of a series thats either went one way or the other.
But George that's how some people spell JUDGMENT. Look it up, it's even on the Terminator 2 poster.
It's a legal term when it's spelled without the 'e', I believe.
I thought it was UK Vs USA spelling
"So George, how was Resident Evil 7?"
George: "It was so cute!"
but but
that's how you spell judgment
Maybe in America
I'm still confused about this.
Actually, nevermind where George resides. The game takes place in Louisiana (USA), which makes "judgment" not only not cute, but in fact the only correct spelling for the setting.
Michał Gorgoń
I was pretty sure it's more commonly spelled 'judgment' outside of the U.S. as well so I looked it up.
From dictionary dot com:
'Many think that the difference between judgement and judgment is that the longer version is the British spelling, whereas the shorter one is the US convention. While some claim that Noah Webster first recorded the spelling of judgment in his 1828 American Dictionary of the English Language, both sides of the pond have actually used the spelling judgment since the late 1600s.
Though judgement (with an e) has risen and fallen in popularity in British English, judgment remains the preferred spelling in British legal proceedings and appears more frequently in written work. Today, judgement is an accepted spelling in British English. But, if you stick to judgment, you won’t be judged in the UK or the US.'
Fishman this is literally the comment that i was about to type. I mean exactly word for word. It’s uncanny 🤔
A father denying that his son is bad isn't a retcon by any means. It's characterization for Jack--he's in denial that his son is a bad person. This happens a lot in real life, too.
Not to beat a dead horse, but as a lawyer myself, "Judgment" is the predominant spelling of the word. If I had a dollar for every time I've had to write the words "Summary Judgment" I could retire.
I've honestly never seen the spelling without the "e". Like literally never. I didn't know there were two ways of writing this word until today.
@@howielowis458 I think "judgement" is becoming an accepted way of spelling it informally. It's sort of like saying "a myriad" when technically it's just "myriad". No one cares too much about it even though it's not technically correct. But, a judge's clerk will likely take you to task if you spell "judgment" wrong in a formal pleading.
They're called parishes because Louisiana was French before it became part of America, and they were Roman Catholic. It's also why most states set out in squares, but Louisiana has slivers of land that give as many as possible land owners with access to rivers. Most states used the township system under the PLSS, but LA used arpents because the land was allocated by the French before it was purchased by the US.
Wrong.
I always saw the line from Jack about Lucas as him either being clueless about Lucas' tendencies, or willfully ignoring them.
You forgot to mention you used footage from Resident Evil 5 in the slides towards the end.
Great video! It's frustrating that industrial levels are often so poorly done, because there's great potential. I've always been fascinated by abandoned factories and Industrial complexes, and I can say from my own personal experience of having worked in multiple factories that there's no reason they couldn't make for an incredibly effective game setting. The only game in recent memory that really GOT how to make that sort of setting work was Dishonored.
I love you.
We love you.
He's great
I'm sexually attracted to him but I swear I'm not gay!
I too love George.
I love all of you
this is honestly the first video of SBH that i kind of disliked? I know opinions is opinions but a lot of this felt very poorly thought out and constructed
Not his best work, especially compared to his critical close up on MGS 2 which arguably is his best video.
I get the feeling he spent a lot of time sitting there trying to put together his thoughts and gave up trying to organize them. I feel you, bunnydumps.
The video is called "Literally my thoughts on Resident Evil 7". I don't know what to tell you if you expected an hour long Critial Close-Up or something.
I don't expect anything from Georgie boy. I was just making an observation and stating my opinion.
I wasn't. I think his shorter videos are high quality too and this one just felt kind of slapadash, and I love his videos on resident evil so it was kind of disappointing to see him not take a good look at this one.
It is just me or this video is kind of mess? Almost all things George points out are answered in the memos, Lucas was experimenting on people, the DLC is about that (I know he didn't play it). Plus anyone who has contact with the spores can see visions the girl wants them to see, etc.
He's drunk in the video, stoner. God you're a dumb
AydarBMSTU lol right he was wrong on purpose, ur smart
Weidman's Mind? I'm down for that.
In regards to the laundry and as someone from the South, we tend to hang stuff out to dry after an initial dry depending on what it is and how fast we need it to dry.
No we don't, its too wet, if we hang our stuff to dry down here it won't dry or will just get rained on.
My mom has one of those laundry hanger things. She lives in the Midwest.
Aye! I'm from Louisiana (Laffeyete) and hanging cloths to dry is an awful idea.
We don't hang it outside unless it nice out. We use indoor hangers and make sure it's well vented. (Also for reference, I live in Alabama with family in Louisiana.)
Thank you for your very own ongoing insight, encouragement and consequently tuition to hold up my voyage to becoming more consciously responsive coupled with spiritually connected.
No No No, old granny viewing herself as a young girl and projecting paranoia to those around while also finding ways to control them while demonstrating only a cursory understanding of 'family', is not entirely fictional.
George hasn't truly entered the survival horror.
Literally had to stop what I was doing and watch this immediately.
me too, I was about to get high too. TAKE THAT AS A HUGE COMPLIMENT, I AM WATCHING THIS THEN GETTING MY WEEDS YO.
cvc Hahaha yep that's some very high praise if I've ever seen any! Have fun!
I was jacking off and studying Swedish.
You'd probably love the heck outta the End of Zoe DLC if you want some VR Wrastling With Goop-Monsters that turns the camp way up to 11.
Huh, I was about to post a detailed comment on how I disliked this video despite loving all your others. Nevermind though since that's already been taken care of by plenty others.
I haven't finished watch but @ 3:19 in what world does that look like a snow shovel? That's just a square shovel.
WorldFungusChamp that's what makes it a snow shovel. People were using metal snow shovels for a long time before the more modern ones made of plastic were created.
Pleasant Leech Sure, but that style of shovel mainly used for digging dirt as well. If the Baker family is living on a ranch where they're raising cattle and horses then I imagine they'd need to be shoveling dirt or cattle feed every once in a while.
It's the "Move loose materials" shovel for sure, useful for getting more bits off of squared walls or containers. A spade would be kinda crap for that. You wouldn't use the squared shovel for DIGGING whatever the case is.
You got me there, my mistake.
Yeah, a couple of his jokes on this video sort of missed their mark. The spelling of "judgment", and assuming that was a show shovel. But, the video was still good though.
Holy crap, i was sure you'd never talk about RE7! Finally you make a video about it! You've really kept me waiting, huh?
Oh my goodness, my friend, you are so wrong about "judgment". If you don't believe me, look up in the dictionary what is considered the preferred form in American English. Hint: you are wrong, the developers are right.
Holy shit... Yeah, just saw that part of the video. How does he not know "judgment" is the proper (or at least dominant) spelling? According to dictionary.com, that's not even unique to the US. It's been spelt that way since the 1600s in the US and UK. Don't get me wrong, it's a dumb exception further illustrating how dumb English is, but I thought judgment being an exception was common knowledge.
Huh. I've never seen it spelt anything but judgement. But then, I'm a Brit.
I thought you were joking but turns out you're right, It's just that you came across as a jackass that my mind was taking it with a grain of salt
All youtube comments should be taken with water-softener pellets of salt.
EDIT - He IS wrong to complain about "judgment" - it's one of the accepted spellings, esp. here in the US. However, the OED prefers "judgement" and that's good enough for me.
Jake Lancaster Belmont I had to double-check myself. Hell, apparently it's even common in good ol' Bongland.
Great video. I felt the same way. So much wacky, yet so much RE gold. I wish we could have had the chance to see Silent Hills become fully realized, but this was a welcome and inspired change from Capcom!
Love your work, keep it up
❤️
I love how you used the song, "Jumpin Johnny" from MGS3 in the background lol.
Resident Evil has always been creature schlock, at its core.
Nope
That Kramer bit at the end, man. Well played, Sir. Well played...
Ya boi, I love these videos, great to see George again.
All three Japanese washing machines had perfectly functional drying cycles.
You seem drunk in this video. Be drunk more often.
well he's definitely drunk enough to think judgment is the incorrect spelling compared to judgement lol
I went off to google this thinking I'd get a bit of a giggle on your expense out of it but turns out the fool was I! Thank you for this educational moment I suppose. :D
best episode of Scrubs yet
I've been waiting for this for such a long time. This and an isolated Hollow Knight review.
Do a critical close up on peace walker
I've been waiting for this video for what seems like forever
i love your videos george, but this one was just bad. you question stuff explained in the game, judgment is spelled fine, and whats with the weird attitude towards camp? of course re7 was gonna be campy as heck, that's what resident evil has been good at since the beginning. this video just felt condescending, like you were reaching for things to criticize. some of it was funny, yeah, but this was kind of disappointing.
MGS camp : ok
RE/BH camp : no
Rito Hendrix it wasn't a critique, Just a collection of his thoughts.
+Just Bony not mutually exclusive
+Just Bony Half the video is misinformed, either about the game or the English language. (American English in the "judgment" case, but still English.) It's fine for him to have misinformed thoughts, but it makes it an awful video, especially when he is criticizing the things he's misinformed on.
"they weren't worth making a video about" call me crazy, but i think Mr. Weidmon is the owner of this channel and he can do what he want with it, also, if he did this video, maybe was because is because he tought it was worth it? maybe, i dont know
i can be wrong tho
My mouse just slid to the video and clicked it, how do you do that, George?
Dude, this video is like a guidance for all the newbies giving opinions. keep it up, my man
You say that you don't see there being high-level play, but RE7 was already in AGDQ this year. That run was on Madhouse difficulty and the guy aced it.
I never thought about those inconsistencies, though.
This is a really clever video format.
Fun fact: the car Ethan drives in the beginning resembles the 1973 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Ash drives in the EVil Dead movies.
12:37 I remember a friend telling me that in that case MAYBE she is not in the VHS but she is still on your mind, so because you are focus on the tape and not your surroundings she keeps trying to appear in front of you, resulting in she being inside of the tape doing whatever... I would guess is similar to when we try to remember an old movie/show and we thought an actor was in one scene or some dialog was different.
This is definitely one of my favorite videos of yours. P.S. I thought the reverb was hilarious.
The Psychological power fantasy is something unique to the franchise and something I've always loved I'm glad they kept it in,
I saw this in the recommendations, I assumed it was an older video that I never got around to watching.
A nonsensical yet still somehow analytical comedy video from SuperBunnyHop is what I needed today and I didn’t even know it
Good,
Now play *Darkwood* , the best horror game of 2017.
Yes. Very much this
Oh man I'd love to see what Bunnyhop has to say about that game
I feel like "Horror Game" is almost derogatory at this point, with all the jumpscare and cheap clone games saturating the genre.
Suspense Game? Suspense Horror Surrealism?
Whatever the word salad, definitely seconded - It'd be great to hear his thoughts on it.
"Existential Terror Experience" sums up my time with the game.
200% better than RE7, or your money back!
Great review thanks!!
*literally what i need for my free time!*
Holy crap, I never noticed the plot hole of the Eveline hallucination in the video tape. Nice catch. But, I don't think the game "retcons" Lucus's psychopathic tendencies. I think Jack and the rest of the family were just unaware of it.
Hey What are your thoughts on Resident Evil 2 remake?
Dear god. I haven't waited for a video to update its resolution in years.
It always amazes me that you nitpicked such a tiny detail as the socks drying above the washing machine, but couldn't see the subtlety behind Jack's speech about Lucas in the goo zone. I love you anyways, George.
I was just about to look up RE7 videos after a long time and here you are. WHAT A COINCIDENCE.
the guy who made fear has only ever had 1 idea lol
Side note: I think the combat in this game could NOT have been implemented better. Getting stun locked by the boomers in the final regular enemy encounter on madhouse difficulty was the only real time I found myself getting old-school mad at a game these last two generations, but the run n' gun encounter just before that and the long range shooting before the mine descent were some of the most fun instances of game mastery I've had since destroying the Watchdog of the Old Lords chalice boss in Bloodborne. And calling it a "beautiful mess" is criminal under-evaluation of this game's level of refinement and quality. Every segment of this game, aside from maybe the final boss battle, was expertly paced with fun moment to moment gameplay.
George, you ever try the evil within games? I'd be interested in your take.
Great video!
I live in Texas and we have a snow shovel. We use it for leaves and stuff, so it's possible in Louisiana
I love that the comment section is a bunch of confused gamers all like "this video is bad, right?" because it didn't say "this game is good :)" or "this game is bad :(".
Wait, in the states you have 'dryers' that are like, machines that dry your clothes?
We just hang them on strings with clamps.
I hear the Sea Breaze opening George, I love it!
We had one of those sock hangers. We called it "the round peg thing".
wow Super Bunnyhop is still alive!
great job george!
Have you played the DLC where you play as the Baker’s suplex action uncle yet?
"Is there any weapons on this ship" reminded me of "What has borders given us?" from Ace Combat Zero
Now i want to hear your metaphorical thoughts
Oh, come on, the "it was grandma all along" twist was great!
I still chuckle whenever I see a chainsaw used as a weapon in a game. They're hard enough to keep working on trees, which usually don't even fight back. God help you if you try to refuel it from that old gasoline can you found, not to mention without any engine oil mix.
4:17 ZOMG IT'S SCISSOR MAN FROM ClockTower! This really does reference everything!
Holy shit, this entire comment section is just ripping into the video
And that's ok I guess, people are making some valid points. Idk, it's interesting to see that loads of his points are just... Incorrect
They're all mistakes that could've been fixed with some googling, but to be fair maybe that's the point? I don't think George would've wanted to look stuff up for this video. I guess I can appreciate him staying true to his genuine thoughts by not doing any research?
Idk. I guess the point is that he just didn't take this video too seriously, and the quality of it suffers because of that, but that's ok because it's a video meant for his straight-up thoughts.. but maybe it would've been good to make that more obvious
This happened to come out when I finally decided to try and beat Resident Evil 4 I’ve boughten it twice and only got to the castle both times now I’m on the island
Yeah i live in Louisiana and i can say the environments are on point. I have that deer carcass effigy gate in my backyard basically.
I pre ordered the game so i could play hard from the get go and never had an issue with the buttons. Nor did I need to use the block button much.
The pacing in this video is very well done
I think the Luca isnt a killer line was because jack and the others never know hell, he bracks free of granmothers control and uses his mind conturoled family to his own ends
I absolutely love this game
I noticed a big Evil Dead reference most people don’t notice. In the beginning, Mia seems normal, then acts like a possessed version of herself. The 2013 remake of Evil Dead has the character named Mia, ironically enough they both look extremely similar to one another. She is turned into a deadite first in the film, and is eventually saved. I just thought it was an interesting hidden Easter egg.
Great opinion and well presented. :)
soo... is the PC VR mode never coming out?
There’s something about the way you said “THEY EVEN CHANGED THE JUMPSCARES FOR HARD MODE” that I find extremely funny.
That bit with Ghost Jack saying Lucas isn't a monster is probably because he genuinely believes his son is good, or he's in denial.
The DLC and stuff show that Lucas was a crazy killer even without the Granny Mind Control.
Did I miss the spolier warning? It's unlikely George to straight to talk about the ending and repeat it a bunch. Or maybe that isn't the endig? I don't know because I still have it in my queue.
I like the the variation in format it was fun
did I leave sea breeze playing in another window again?
IloveGorge
They never retconned that Lucas was a killer. Jack was just unaware of it. But notice that only Jack and Zoe appear in that strange hallucinatory scene, which is implied to be a communication between the still-living infected--the player character, who was infected and is in the early stages; Zoe, who was infected but still resists; Jack, who is NOT YET QUITE DEAD... but not Marguerite, who did not survive her fight with Ethan... and not Lucas, who was cured of the mold's influence by the mystery corporation that created it so he could be their observer. Hmmmm?
I love your channel because you talk about 2 out 3 of my favorite games resident evil and metal gear solid. My other one is tomb raider, but you don't talk about that game
