Yeah the first few hours were very strong but it just kept going downhill after that. The tension just wasnt there and some parts became like an fps.

Well you're in luck OP cuz RE8 does the exact same thing. It's a japanese thing more than a RE thing. It happens in almost all jrpgs as well.

Don't notice it in too many Japanese games or JRPGs

They usually do this where the first half is very creepy and the second half is action filled. I didn't think it was bad but not up to the same level of quality as the farm house.

It's inferior to RE7 in almost every way except graphics.
Let me guess, still hurt 8 doesnt support VR?

The second boss in 8 was a lot scarier than anything in 7

I would hardly call a 15-20 min level scarier than an entire game. It was disturbing for sure.

I didnt mind the tanker part. RE7 was all teh way round a game about dread and anxiety. For me, the tanker was a proper survival spook show. Never felt comfortable on it.

Might start it over again to see it on my OLED from the start this time,wondering if those early scripted sequences drag on

RE8 does drop the mandatory puzzle focus at the half way point and become a bit more action focused in the last two hours but it's still held together better than RE7. After the bitch with the bumblebee booty you play two different games that aren't RE7 but were included with it.

RE8 is more consistent. RE7 has higher highs. The house part of 7 is better than anything in 8. After you beat Marguerite, RE7 takes a huge dive. The ship and salt mines are nothing to write home about and I mostly forgot about them. Didnt really enjoy Lucas' stuff either.
RE8 high point is the castle, and the escape room is fun but very short. The village itself is good at the start but once raided its like the firelink shrine. There is no danger and it serves as the safe haven. The other areas are just okay, not great but not as bad as the mines in 7.

I just finished RE7 as well OP and i gotta say you are right.
The house part with Jack is fucking fantastic, the old house with thr bugs isn't as fun (although the boss fight is great!). The escape room part in the barn is dull but it picks up at the tanker section. Then it gets too shooty till the end.
But the dlc is superb!

It does hurt. Waited with RE7 till i got my hands on a VR set. Best game i played in a long, long time.

Really liked the second half. Ship reveal was cool if not entirely plausible (as if plausibility was ever an issue with RE!) and I likes the switch up to more J-horror tropes. The mines area was a bit dull visually but I felt like it was a fun section to play through, and I liked the loop-back to the reveal of the big-bad.
As far as consistency goes, I'd argue its way above average for the franchise - including RE4 which I'm sorry, but does have some serious issues in its back third which it only semi-overcomes with sheer bombast.

Lady D is literally 25% of the whole game, stop trolling. Second boss in RE8 is scarier than anything in RE7 IMHO and I love both games

Yeah, I still enjoyed 7 a lot more as a whole than Village for sure. But I feel like both definitely suffered from having a better first half.

I like the ship and the mines. I always thought the weakest part of RE7 was Lucas' funhouse area.

I think the weakest part is Lucas. The rest was pretty decent. Especially that theres no Stalker character after you.
But to me Resi 8 is so much bigger and better

There are parts I wished I'd played, but I watched EZAs full PT and I was mostly happy with having watched instead of playing it. The searching for items aspect of it wasn't fun imo, I think the "searching/searched" colour aspect of the map is something I want in all RE games going forward. Add an option to disable it in menu for moaning bitches.

I played in VR and I had a blast with it. I didn't enjoy much the mine sequence. It should have been an old abandoned mine and it would have been much creepier. Opportunity lost right there.

I really enjoyed the tanker. The salt mines were a little....eh? But I appreciated the fact that the entire game didn't take place in one location. None of them have, not even the original trilogy. Tanker was dark, wrecked, lots of environmental storytelling and it ratcheted up the tension by stripping you of your inventory one last time before the climax where you're fighting with a full arsenal. I dug it.

Yup, you’re 100% right OP. Had a hard time having the will to finish RE7 because of the tanker. The mansion and introduction are so much better and feels like two completely different games. It’s as if they had 2 RE projects merged together due to time constraints.

RE7 VR so good.

I played it to completion once. Didn’t enjoy the end 3rd of the game. Never want to play it again. It was enjoyable at that’s it.
