Resident Evil Village Review - Kinda Funny Gamescast Ep. 72

[@melo9907]

This game connects so much of how everything started. I don’t understand how they can say it’s not connecting with rest of the series.

[@mattachu21]

Rushed review that’s why.

[@JerahNeptune]

If they make a resident evil 5 remake with the Chris from this game and he punches a boulder in the end, I will cry tears of joy. Perfect opportunity to correct the wrongs of the original. There is a 10/10 RE game in RE5 somewhere.

[@HKISfreak1]

To be fair they hid it in the files, still should probably read them if you call yourself a lore fan

[@gatsu718]

Exactly, They must not have read any of the notes, I would argue it has one of the bigges revelations to series lore towards the end of the game smh

[@JordanSmith-yw1nh]

There’s more there than they realize. Where umbrella and everything actually started. Re5 touches on it and this game goes deeper. The game has its issues and Ethan winters is not an interesting character my any means. They could have pulled off an origins story within this game and the story did fall flat for me but overall I still enjoyed it as a whole. Very well designed survival horror game and improving the combat we got from 7.

[@KJShinra]

Don’t understand how they said Village doesn’t tie into the over arching story when the village is literally the origin of Umbrella.. and also explains why the Spenser mansion is a labyrinth. Not to mention it turns the BSAA into potential antagonist for future games.

[@mattachu21]

I feel like they rushed it and didn’t pay attention.....

They’re not bringing her back lol

[@starrynight5633]

She didn't say the game was OK, she said that about the story and how it didn't explain a lot of RE's lore. At the end, she said it's her current GOTY, and you'll probably love it if you don't care much about the RE lore. Gameplay, graphics and sound design, the game is easily one of the best RE games.

[@mattachu21]

I wouldn’t consider her Goty so far a OK game..... 🤦‍♀️

[@HKISfreak1]

I don't want to go into it without spoilers, but if you don't think the game connects to the lore I would read the files more closely, on its face that criticism seems insanely wrong. Edit: After having finished, it's pretty obvious a few of you guys did not finish the game based on some of the comments on Ethan & the story. The entire ending sets up the rest of the series lol.

[@DustinCunningham1010]

Tim finally getting to share how much he loved it has me so juiced! I can't wait!

[@DanV900]

Greg saying he can’t recommend Village at $70 when he has said he’d pay $30 or more to see Black Widow on Disney+ is a bit ridiculous. Left Behind was $15 and only roughly 3 hours as DLC. People need to stop making whether something is worth the price based on length when most people pay $20 or more for a movie theater ticket and concessions for 2 hours.

[@tylerrichardson3034]

When he made that statement he didnt say anything about length, it was about what you do in the game and he thought it wasnt fun enough and doesnt do enough to warrant full price. The main time they brought up how long it takes was Tim realizing it was taking him longer to beat than he thought it would.

[@starrynight5633]

Tim got me so excited to play it. Lots of great points mentioned. He really loved it. Greg Miller not so much, but I mean he reviewed Predator Hunting Grounds and The Avengers very highly LOL. RE8 is getting a lot of positive reviews, including people in the community. So I am hyped. It's 60$, not 70$ btw.

[@Mitsurifan357]

[@The_fahadkhan]

This game was awesome but I do understand some of their concerns, the main problem with the game was that "Normal" difficulty was VERY easy while "Hardcore" was a bit too hard for newer RE fans. I played on Hardcore and had a blast, but i can imagine that people who played on normal might have had an inferior experience.

After finishing the game...... I can safely say Greg was completely off..... the doll house area scared me more then anything in RE7 alone. Game was fantastic! Loved it. The pacing was perfect.

[@mrmonday677]

No greg was completely right. Going into The basement alone in resident evil 7 was scarier than the doll house. also One of The most iconic villians capcom produced(lady dimitrescu) was WASTED. She was the first major boss to be Defeated EARLY in the game, are you kidding me??? Also she turns into a generic flying monster. Come on man. Wouldnt you wanna fight the person you saw advertised to you instead of some weird genetic genetic mutation? Nothing was "Perfect" about this title. snap out of it.🤣

[@The_fahadkhan]

@@mrmonday677 nah, RE8 was awesome. Much better than 7. Definitely in my top 3 RE games.

[@tylerrichardson3034]

One scary moment in a game doesn't make it a scarier game than a game that is scary throughout. It just means it has one really scary moment.

[@mrpetebojangles21]

Yall are straight up smoking crack. I just finished RE8 on PC and #$@#ing LOVED IT! Not only is the game STUNNING but it's extremely well optimized and the gunplay is wayyy better than it has any right to be. IMO this game has the perfect blend of RE 1-2 style slow and methodic gameplay, and then you get great FPS Wolfenstein style gameplay, reminiscent of RE4 or parts of RE7. This game, alongside RE2 remake, is easily my fav RE of all time.

[@itsRecreational]

Completely agree with Tim. I loved Ethans arc, and I won’t spoil it in here but from the beginning of RE7 to end of 8, I would rather them do a movie based on the winters instead of an RE mainline story. Ethan Winters going from schlubby guy trying to save his wife to a doom guy like badass just makes it weirdly the first time that I went from one game in a franchise to the next like hell yea this is my guy now in this series. Leon/Chris(new) are right there as well.

[@mrmonday677]

Ethan is an empty vessel, You dont even know what he looks like lol.

[@UncleCastro]

I have one thing about the locks: in past games (thinking RE4) there were lots of locks you could just knife or shoot, so there’s a precedent for that. In Village, most everything you can interact with has yellow tape or something on it, and so do the locks. And the locked doors in the game have more ornate design than just a simple lock. Not like shooting or knifing a lock has absolutely NO precedent in the series.

[@davidenriquez9576]

So when are we changing Gregs title to 'One of the Daddest dudes in Video games"

[@ronaldlo8818]

After the baby spawns, I think. 2nd trimester is great news, but let's give it time.

[@Musubi-Azeyma]

Not sure why they spent so much time talking about the blocking. RE7 has a blocking mechanic as well so I would suspect this would too.

[@tylerrichardson3034]

Since their complaint was the block felt unnecessary and they never used it they probably never used it in 7 and forgot about it.

[@neddy42]

Brit's here?! Hell yeah, let's go!

[@KB92]

I like Ethan! Thought they did a decent job of having him seem like a normal guy in a supernatural world. And there were so many call backs to old games and lore growth. Im surprised by the hate.

[@azsugar8361]

The most exciting thing to hear from this discussion was that it seems Village has quite a lot of variety. Enemies also look to be much more varied as well this time, RE7' molded were so disappointing to fight after a few hours.

[@Baybates]

I think RE 7 feels more scary because of the characters familial roles. Jack Baker walking around the house in such an aggressive hostility is terrifying, because he is a father. I think that tie to abuse and terribleness holds the same tone as Jack from the shinning. It makes you think of unspeakable, yet common things that do take place in real life. Meanwhile in RE Village it has some scary elements, but its core is fantastical far more than RE 7.

[@BasketCase-rr7tx]

I feel like the Bakers were more clearly inspired by Texas Chainsaw Massacre than The Shinning. But yeah.

[@Baybates]

@@BasketCase-rr7tx For sure they were! I just think the whole stalking father trope has some scary elements to it as well.

[@cvlebbb1746]

I honestly saw it as scary because it was so claustrophobic and gruesome, not in the way of excessive gore but just in the atmosphere that was created by things like marguerite and her McDonalds meals.🤣

[@nelsonhamilton8262]

Will watch the rest of review after playing through the game itself but always enjoy the initial impressions as they give enough to inform a purchase without spoiling the experience if you do purchase.

[@Harabusa200]

ok i know that Capcom instructed people that it's Lady Dimitresc, but as a romanian it's 1000% Lady DimitrescU... there are no soft letters in the romanian language.

[@tylerrichardson3034]

To be fair, Dimitrescu wasn't raised in the village and her recent family probably wasn't there either so she probably pronounces her name like they would in the area she grew up in. It's like how Ariana Grande said different people in her family pronounce her last name differently.

[@Kizaru3314]

I honestly feel like Resident Evil should be evolving way more than it has. All Capcom seem interested in doing is doing different kinds of horror, when what they _should be doing_ is evolving the systems. Do more with NPCs. Do more with mechanics and features. Imagine playing as Leon/Claire going to Paris because Chris Redfield sent a distress warning saying that the Parisian branch of Umbrella is still developing the T-Virus, even after all that's happened with Raccoon City. So Leon and Claire go as part of a anti-Bioweapon Taskforce, working with Parisian officers, they storm the building in the light of day with a search warrant to tear the place up until they find Chris Redfield. Then somebody puts the building into lockdown and shit starts happening -- in real time, we see zombies killing the police and within 30 seconds the police rise up as zombies. We see NPCs stuck in certain places and if you manage to save them, they'll offer you things -- information, codes, keys, ammo, location of weapons, secret stashes, location of save rooms etc., -- imagine if Leon got off a floor and immediately sees someone hanging off the side of a rail yelling for help. Upon seeing that the room is also filled with zombies, the player decides to abandon conservation, breaks out the shotgun/grenade launcher and clears the room quickly and save the guy before he falls to his death. He then offers you a keycard to a room with experimental weapons, and if you then escort him to a safe room, he will offer you new information -- like telling you where he saw some herbs on the 3F, which is then marked on your map. It's this kind of systemic evolution that will truly take RE to the next level of experience. Right now, they are wasting time on aesthetic changes that are superficial, and they need to recognize that. One day, these games are going to feel as stale as COD and they need to change before that happens.

[@P3RSUASION]

It's so funny that a piece of me loves hearing that Ethan has such an odd way of being asynchronous with every other character in the game. Not apologizing before I've played, I bet he is bad but It reminds me of the goofy line read choices from RE4. I don't think it is purposeful and will probably have less charm but it's funny that I'm excited for bad Ethan lol.

[@snifpowderoutanus]

Yea everything they say about this game really reminds me of evil within. That was essentially a horror theme park that you are railroaded through and Sebastian was so clueless the whole time. Like after Sebastian encounters the multi legged women and kills hundreds of zombies and literally had the entire world around him warp and change before his very eyes all he says is “There’s something wrong with this place, and I just love it for some reason. Most people said the first evil within was decent but I loved it so I think this game will be amazing.

The 4 Lords were just like the Bakers, sub-bosses to the main boss. They even have the exact same family introductory scene. This is Miranda's game as much as 7 was Eve's, plus she added ramifications to the entire series. Brit was very off in her lore assessment. If you're an RE fan, this game's for you.

[@azsugar8361]

It sounds like everyone except Tim would have had a better experience playing on hardcore instead of standard. If some of your complaints were that you become too op with too much ammo and not feeling in danger that's exactly why you have difficulty settings in survival horror games. I guess Capcom made standard too easy this time especially hearing that they never used block and just took the damage.

[@kas2k4]

Yo all this time I thought that was Tim's greenscreen backdrop, didn't realise that was his actual setup! As a fellow home theatre enthusiast who also runs a kick ass 4K HDR projector with 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos surround sound speaker setup, nice one Tim! My respect level for you just went up 100x :D

[@samf.s.7731]

NOT JOKING, can you please point me towards an RE game where the protagonist doesn't have stupid dialogue and even stupider moments. You're angry he punched a wall? Seriously... Which one of you here played RE5? That boulder punching moment is such a meme at this point that it literally had a shout out in this game, and Chris still punches a wall at the ending cutscene.... Oh yeah Mia you're husband is gone, and to show I'm serious, gonna punch this wall.... Ethan is perhaps the most well acted character, he actually sounds like he's shitting his pants, kind of like us the platers, and to top it all off... he doesn't say superman sh*t like "Where's everyone going? Bingo?" or "You're right hand comes off?" and of course "Sadler, you're small time!"... I can go on and on and on about Leon but let's not. Are y'all sure you've played RE games before? That RE Dunkey video says it all, "It's like shinning level horror but with the writing of resident evil... movie". How exactly did you want him to sound, please mention an example, because I look forward to take a jab at it if it's a character from the series, and if it's not, I'm gonna point out how much of a contrast this would be from every RE protagonist from every single other game....

I just beat the game and I loved it, it feels like a few of the complaints aren't exclusive to 8 a ridiculous story gameplay that gets less scary as you progress. Something that Greg mentioned where he wishes it was just about Zombies when all the way to the original has had non Zombie enemies and I for one love the diversity of enemies in this game and the series because only fighting Zombies can get old really quick as seen when the market got way over saturated. The whole series has had different enemy types, from 3 on has been action focused and personally I think this game has some of the best mix of all styles of RE games and I like that each section of the game has a different feel.

[@HKISfreak1]

Could not disagree more about Ethan. He is my favorite RE protagonist because of how much of a bland, normal dude he is, he plays off the campy cast so well. Very much like James Sunderland from Silent Hill 2. He also gets a lot more emotive in this game in many parts.

From the first two hours alone: “Why are you doing this?” “My hand!” “What’s going on here?” “Who was that?” (Referring to Mother Miranda after Mother Miranda said her name out loud showing Ethan is an idiot.)

The performance and dialogue is just bland and terrible in Village for the character. It would be better if he said nothing like Jack in BioShock who is much better as a protagonist and does not speak at all in that game.

[@gman7497]

@@HKISfreak1 I think that's the main point of argument for alot of RE fans, some think that Ethan is a good PoV character, especially for an FPS perspective because he was specifically made to be as bland and normal as possible so the player could identify with being in that situation. For a straightforward horror game that works coz immersion is the primary thing. But RE has never been "just" horror to me. I love the lore and the characters we have gotten to know over all these games, as goofy and convoluted as it sometimes can be, it's what sets the series apart from just standard jump scares and stuff.

I think it was intentional for Ethan to be a blank slate type character. They always obscure his face because they want to player to really feel like they’re him. He’s supposed to relay your thoughts or reactions on screen, and in RE7 he did a great job of that.

[@RancidKill64]

Kinda cringe when you criticize this game for not connecting to the “lore”, the “story” of Resident Evil series, which is hilarious considering each entry in the series is basically a stand alone story that so happens to be connected to the last game, real RE fans know the story doesn’t really matter it’s the gameplay, level design, and atmosphere that makes the series great

[@tylerrichardson3034]

What do you mean? The story is connected through out the games. 2 and 3 are literally connected because they take place during the same event and you go through the same location. They both connect to 1 because 1 shows where the zombie virus came from. Code Veronica connects to 1 and 2 because it continues Claire's search for Chris, which is her goal in 2, shows a new family of the Umbrella company, and continues Chris' story with Wesker and 5 is the culmination of that story. 4 and 6 were the only ones that were basically their own things of the original mainline series and they did the same to 7 and 8 where they made a new story and aren't really connecting it to the old ones except for quick little Easter eggs here and there.

RE 7 is at 86 on both PS4 and X Box One so it reviewed better than Village except on PC. The PC score for Village is 85 and RE 7 was at 83 on PC. RE 7 was the first major game and not Village.

[@The_RedVIII]

I don't understand the Ethan hate at all. As if other Resident Evil protagonists were such layered characters. The voice acting direction seems to be a bit off, but I don't hate him or think he is lame. He seems like an every man caught in a over the top crazy situation so how else to react then screaming "Why the fuck is this happening to me again?". And I think they tried with some lines to make him relatable, like when he says "This is just... too much." I think the voice actor did a fine job with that. If anything it's a problem with the writing. But I don't know what else you want him to say or do to not hate him. I have absolutely no problem with Ethan and the aggressive hate is a bit unfair I think, even though I definitely understand if you don't love him. But all the hate? I don't get it.

[@MrPackerfan85]

Iam not much of Ethan fan also I only care for old characters like Chris and Jill

[@deshaunfortune912]

The thing is I'm not worried about how this game ties into the others and it 100% would've been better storywise if it was never connected to RE bc then the dope parts of the story with the new villains would be able to exist on their own.

[@gman7497]

I agree, re7 should have been it's own thing, or at very least a spinoff, although Village seems a lot closer to true RE vibes imo. It seems like Capcom is committed to using the Resident Evil label for anything horror related, whether or not it makes sense, so this will probably continue..

[@thajuganaut]

Don’t go Into resident evil 8 thinking you’ll get resident evil stuff out of it....

[@Trolleri87]

Ethan and Spartan Locke would make a great couple.

They aren’t “serotonin hits”, they are “dopamine / norepinephrine hits” you are experiencing. Thanks for the content.

[@KydzPlays]

It sounds like it has the same issues RE7 had with a really boring story and a protagonist you hate, but the horror, atmosphere, visuals world design is all incredible. Never really cared for Resident evil but I loved RE2 Remake and I liked RE7 so I think should try this out.

I felt the same way with resi 7 I loved the start of it but then the end of resi 7 was ok. I'll wait till its on sale or gamepass

After playing through it in VR I’m totally with Tim on this

[@liammcnulty1987]

Tim: "This is the scariest game I've ever played" This dude needs to play Silent Hill or something.

[@diegoalvarez64]

I dunno man from what ive heard this game really steps it up, there is a baby boss fight that really gives me the creeps

[@liammcnulty1987]

@@diegoalvarez64 not saying it doesn't have creepy moments but to me no horror game will top the atmosphere of the first 4 Silent Hill games

[@DanV900]

Dead Space 1 is scarier including RE 7.

[@DanV900]

Tim doesn’t know what he is talking about though. That’s true.

[@diegoalvarez64]

@@stonehorn4641 Angry Joe actually makes more valid points than alot of other reviewers have u read ign lately? Everything is a 8 to them now. Sure Joe is no ACG but he makes alot of points people choose not to hear because of the way he presents them. I ended up watching AFTER always hearing people hate on him and I wanted to see if it was warranted. Hes over the top but actually gives clear cut bullet points in his reviews on games. I feel like people don't watch his videos just skim them then talk shit

[@anakinjmt]

@@stonehorn4641 I mean, if your views on games don't match Tim's, that's fine. Find people that you do agree with more often than not. You don't HAVE to agree with people's opinions. They just give their opinions and whoever is someone you tend to be on the same page with more often, listen to them

Blocking is 100% a necessary mechanic...on hardcore...

[@terriblemaze]

I personally could give less fucks about the 'lore' of Resident Evil. I think the weakest parts of RE7 were where they tried to connect it to 'the lore'. 'The lore' is the last reason I would ever pick up, play or ever recommend a Resident Evil game. Nor has the writing ever been a reason I've come back to any of these games. It's all about the moment to moment atmosphere and experience. And that's fine. Also: Please force Blessing to play Alien Isolation.

Can someone tell me what the really scary part of house benevento that everyone is referring to is.

[@CCCowboy]

I just rewatched Resident Evil 7 Review - Kinda Funny Gamescast Ep. 104 - it was a totally superior review to watch because of Colin...his style & opinion just adds to it. This channel still feels broken.

[@tylerd4039]

Great! I had to choose between this and Returnal. It looks like it’s definitely going to be Returnal. Thank you for helping me decide!

Not interested in either personally, definitely not for 60+. Ratchet and Clank is the next PS5 purchase for me

[@sappho5988]

Oh yea, a question the panel missed: does this game have any replay value?

[@olischues]

Important question: Resident Evil 7 didn't allow streaming straight from the PS4/PS5. Can I stream this game straight from my PS5 on Twitch or are screen recording blocked as well? Thanks!

[@isoCristian]

Olí, you are able to stream RE7 from console. You just have to turn the HDR settings off in the game. It’s a known issue online.

[@likewow111]

Finally a new game

[@mattj2692]

Sounds like my prediction was right. 7 Was a modern day reimagining of RE1 and Village is a modern day reimagining of RE4. Can't wait!!

[@WHOAITSTHEINTERNET]

If you have a PC, try this game or the demo out on it. It looked good on PS5 when I tried the demo, but hopping onto my pc it was night and day. RE engine is crazy

[@rockbsaul]

Greg said this was PSILY in ads lol

[@BraidzMC]

By the sounds of it they've left the 4 lords open to 4 paid DLC's to get their backstory

[@TheNightWolf-WildCraft]

Tim hit the nail on the head with RE7, that game is definitely wayyyy more nasty than scar., That's so well put!!! I found both 7 and 8 to be creepy not scary, REmake is and will probably be the scariest game in the series for quite some time. Village and RE2 remake are tied for my second favorite game in the series behind 4.

[@cadvan6]

Just got returnal and re is out tomorrow. Will probs do re first coz it’s shorter. Looking forward to it.
