Is RE7 good? If no then what's wrong with it? If yes then what's good about it?

is RE7 good? If no then what's wrong with it? If yes then what's good about it?

Finished it yesterday.
Wasn't too fond of it. I totally loathed it at first, because it felt and played like a blatant PT and Outlast ripoff, AKA shit made for LP watchers and VR babbies. It got a bit better later on, turning what's essentially Gone Home w/ guns. For a short while it even felt like a RE game, but then it was all over again.

The game's very scripted, quite linear even when it opens up places, and totally "cinematic" in the term's most negative traits. This includes QTEs and lots of first-person cinematics.

The bossfights are the weakest link of the game, and they can require multiple retries until you get the "tricks" you have to exploit to win fights. And those necessary actions are not usually signaled too well within the game, and this isn't limited just to the fights either.

Puzzles are a total joke. Lack of "normal" enemies, that would house rooms and be killable, was a big bummer (yeah there's the molded and bugs , but they come to picture too late). Story's alright I guess, couple neat surprises, but writing sucks & MC is a moron with limited vocabulary. Replay value is lowest so far; I dont really care for the extra difficulty mode.

Oh, and DLC season pass exists. So there's gonna be paid expansions.

sounds like dogshit

>Puzzles are a total joke

FUCKING HELL. Why is it so difficult to get this right? Either they're incredibly easy or extremely obscure to the point of absolute ridiculousness like PT.

Are the spooks decent at least?

Honestly sounds like you didn't play the game, I played on madhouse though

>QTEs

final boss is giant version of mid game boss but only 10 seconds of input actually matters

how's the combat?

Don't think this guy played it.
I'm leaving the thread because you just took up the first post with some bullshit.

clunky, bear in mind I don't really play FPS

>Don't think this guy played it.

Why not? What was wrong with what he said?

I find it hard to be scared by largely mundane humans

Marketer damage control.

How if you get scared by just looking in the mirror?

Mirrors are spooky dude

uli?

There's literally no QTEs except maybe the first time Mia attacks

>Are the spooks decent at least?
Meh, most of the time. First person cinematic of some of the enemy characters grabbing you and screaming into your face mostly. May startle you if you're wearing headphones.

Only towards the end did I ever feel unnerved, when I had to creep in dark and gritty environments, filled with normal enemies, with little to no ways of defending myself.

>using the trademark online shiller counterattack argument
Really now? More like you didn't get the memo of how the game plays from your boss.

But he's spot on.

I'm not very far. Like 3 hours in.

VR makes it breathtaking though. I am seriously digging it so far due to VR.

>how's the combat?
tries to be a mix of oldschool RE thing and FPS tropes. So never quite feels right, but it's serviceable. The bossfights are horseshit, especially early on, because you can't just spam bullets at the boss and get it over with.

rule of thumb for nu-Sup Forums: Ignore anyone claiming that one criticizing a game has "not played the game". Typical marketer / rapid fanboi behavior, started by Zenimax last year with nuDoom online shill campaigns.

>there's literally no QTEs
>except this one time
so there ARE quick time events.

Good VR horror game, bad RE.

It's funny that you think that marketers even give a goddamn shit about Sup Forums, much less Sup Forums anymore. This place is dead and nobody wants anything to do with a barely populated if that site with a shit community.

Quick time event.* There's literally just one in the entire game.

No son. You're the gullible, delusional fuck here. No different from those people calling NSA spying activities as mere ramblings of paranoids.

Paid troll-factory workers only have one job: go online, spread the wanted agenda, undermine opposition. They work anywhere they want and can; what better place to do so than the largest anonymous, western imageboard with multinational userbase.

that's one too much, one too early as well.
not to mention all those comparable gameplay features aren't much better anyway, since it just means the game lacks cohesive gameplay style.

This shill meme is getting out of hand

>It's funny that you think that marketers even give a goddamn shit about Sup Forums, much less Sup Forums anymore.
t. corporate shill :^)

>goalposts

You didn't play the game

Or maybe people are just annoying? I mean, I'm not expecting much from people who are literally just SJWs but in reverse.
>Just because there's one game mechanic that's bad that shows up in the game one time means that the entire fucking game is bad
Get a fucking grip on reality.

thank you for opening my eyes user

np mate. Now fight back.

What do you consider a good game? I honestly wanna know

>The bossfights are horseshit, especially early on, because you can't just spam bullets at the boss and get it over with.
Why do these fucking casuals have to invade every franchise?
