great story and a tense horror romp through and through. my sole gripe is that this tension tends to be illusory as the bakers themselves are rarely as threatening as they're presented. marguerite is especially fearsome until you get "caught" by her and realize she just throws easily disposed bugs and eats headshots for breakfast
definitely starts feeling more like a horror laced shooter after a while due to abundant ammo supplies and finite enemies. i did however enjoy shooting the goopy boys very much despite their horrible hit registration and i see this as a great foundation for re8 to build on top of
fuck that magnum though. 9 coins for one bullet?? i was fucking scammed bro

true!
magnum is good those 9 bullets are about as powerful as 50 bullets
Chandler bumping it to an 8, very based
Re8 has one pure horror sequence but for the most part it's not nearly as scary as 7. Does have a really cool cast of characters tho and some great set pieces
yeah that's particularly why i'm interested - because 7's horror feels pretty misguided at points to me. it starts off very reminiscent of something like clock tower and then gradually becomes more action driven. by the time i got to the second floor of the old house i stopped being afraid for the most part
on that basis i'm pretty excited for re8 because i think a full on fps take is definitely playing to 7's strengths

"starts feeling more like a horror laced shooter after a while" that's pretty much the entire series ngl
@Androu1 this is very true
Yeah as others said before you eventually become a powerhouse in every single RE game, i personally find it a strength since by the time you reach the latter half of most horror game they become far less engaging due to desensitization, SH1 did something similar by giving you a busted melee weapon in the sewers.
yeah i think sh1 would be a stronger game if the fire axe either didnt exist or wasn't introduced till the last area
