Now that the dust has settled and 9 is announced, can we finally admit that this game was okay

Yeah it's not bad. Sure, it's not the best RE ever, and arguably not even great, but it's passably decent and reasonably fun. Depending on who you ask it's either a downgrade or an upgrade over 7.

It's kino

REALLY drops off after the dollhouse, and never picks up afterwards

>>712756569 (OP)
It's mediocre.

>>712756569 (OP)
It is indeed okay.
Village is eh.
Castle is great.
Swamp is not so great.
Dollhouse is great but doesn't last anywhere near long enough.
Factory is silly even by RE standards.
Finale is Call of Duty: Halloween Warfare.

The fish fuck section is such a massive drop quality that i haven't managed to get past that on replays.

Yeah the second half of the game is complete dogshit. At least RE4 stayed decent until the Island.

Why did they character assassinate him for?

Waste of a cool setting and cast, the gameplay is complete dogshit even compared to RE7 which is almost an impressive feat in itself due to how barebones that game was. They talked about the selling point of the game being fighting hordes of lycans in previews but outside of the intro its barely a factor at all, which makes me think they had to cut it down due to performance issues on last gen consoles. The exploration is really barebones and on rails, the "Village" part is barely a factor at all, again the intro focuses a lot on the villagers, yet they all get killed off immediately. Another thing that screams cut content. Then its just plain bad game design like the new inventory system and the new awful weapon upgrade system, which were changed from RE4s for no good reason at all. Even though they were basically perfected already

Honestly a big bummer of a game.

Chris never really had a consistent character besides being Dude Mcdude

Pure marketingslop, Capcom pulled the exact same trick with presenting Dante as the villain in DMC4s marketing.

It's a downgrade over the house portion of 7, it's an upgrade over the ship.

>>712756569 (OP)
It was good even. Better than 7 or the recent remakes.

Actually they cut it down due to player tester feedback.
>According to Kobayashi, the testers felt that the game’s combat wasn’t gelling with the rest of the experience. He says that there were “too many enemies” and that they were “overly aggressive.” He also noted that the aggressive nature of the enemies and the sheer number of them was made even worse by the fact that there wasn’t enough ammo in the game at that point. While you may think that their problem was that the game was too hard, Kobayashi says that it was really about more than that.
>“The combat [was] uninteresting,” Kobayashi recalls. “Combat [felt] frustrating and incredibly tiring to play.”

Apparently it was changed very late into development which explains a lot
