@@sdbzfan1 both work perfectly well, biohazard makes sense considering Eveline and how everyone was infected. Resident Evil makes sense with the literal evil residents
Early September 2019: Now Yahtzee should know why they need all those flame grenades on the farm: Rural Americans are fighting a constant defensive war against hordes of feral wild hogs threatening their chidren
As somebody who's lived in the Midwest through 23 winters now I can confirm that that's all we do in the winter. These property taxes are killing me but what else can I do in the winter months?
Merritt Animation That’s what we do the rest of the year, the house building in winter is essential to expand the number of floor boards for hiding bodies under.
Playing RE:7 and thinking “wow, Ethan sure does get the absolute piss beaten/stabbed out of him a lot, how does he keep bouncing back? After the RE:8 twist: well I mean yeah but you think he’d have at least considered that being a possibility in the last 3 years.
I never got how that was supposed to be a twist. Ethan was constantly healing severed limbs and he didn't think that it may have something to do with the magic mold which everyone else around him was infected with and helped them also recover from fatal injuries.
@@terminalyuppie611 also means that umbrella, who were sent to prevent the spread of the mold, never bothered to check the survivors on the estate for mold before sending them to a completely different area
Well in RE7 he doesn't really get hurt a lot. but in RE8, they go out of their way to beat the shit out of him just for the twist to have some weight. Even tho they make it so obvious.
@@DigitalHeliumJumper dude he gets a hand cut off, stabbed in the cheek, nearly exploded with dynamite, chased by killer insects, falls through the floor with Mega-Jack, cocooned by mold, and that’s just off the top of my head. Ethan goes through some shit in that house.
To anyone saying this game "Isn't a Resident Evil game" The greater Resident Evil franchise consists of everything from Dino Crisis, to Devil May Cry, to various in-series spinoffs. Such as Resident Evil: Survivor, an FPS. Survivor 2: Code Veronica, a short but good FPS. Dead Aim, an FPS/Third person hybrid which sucks. Gaiden, a top-down 2D game on the GBC. 0, a single-player co-op version of the previous games. Two whole rail-shooters (The Chronicles games, Umbrella and Darkside), a pair of online co-op pseudo-classic games. Umbrella Chronicles, a third-person shooter. Umbrella Corps, a first/third-person tactical shooter. The series went from fixed-camera to third-person, fixed-aiming to letting you move around like a real third-person shooter. Resident Evil has been many things. The series has no identity.
Ironically, RE1 was suppose to be a FPS game, but Mikami had to resort to FCA because of the hardware limitations at the time. RE7 is a Resident Evil game at it's core and that's further reinforced when you the play the game on Madhouse.
@@TheCyclicGamer It was very close to Remake in terms of what they were trying to achieve. So really, it is just Re but with a first person camera.....
So pretty much RE7 is like the brand new porta potty in an old row, that's fresh and actually comfortable, that's just waiting to be shit in by Capcom? ok alrighty then.
except the grenade launcher and flamethrower were made from spare parts by lucas baker (who even though was crazy was a bit of a prodigy when it came to tinkering and computer programing)
Having guns that can't actually kill the enemies is actually an interesting idea and would make thematic sense in a lot of the horror games that have you fighting monsters that could easily shrug off a bullet or two. Instead of using a gun as a weapon, you could use it as a tool to break structures at a distance or as a lure to make monsters go where you want them to. It might take a bit of effort to make it work, but a scene where the protagonist realizes that his gun will do nothing against the big monster and needs to find a more creative way to use it would make for a pretty cool scene.
@@Draconilian Oh, so the new Amnesia game works like that? I haven't really watched anyone play it so I wouldn't know. Maybe I'll go track down a playthrough of it. I know a few people I watch played it awhile back.
i think having a gun throughout the game can create tension and fear atleast in the beginning because you think you have the option to defend yourself and then it is yanked away from as you flood with hopelessness
I mean, if I can re-watch my favorite horror movies until there are holes in the DVDs, I can certainly re-play RE7. It's not all about knowing the plot beats and when the scares happen. Sometimes you just want to appreciate the craftsmanship of a good ol' scary story, well told and dripping with atmosphere. No, Alien no longer scares me, but damn if I don't get a grin on my face every time those opening credits roll.
Nice to hear someone besides me calling out horror game designers for that lazy "invincible monster chases you around and there's nothing you can do about it because we can't think of another way to make a game scary" subgenre.
Dr Strangelove No i'm asking the guy who marks everything he doesn't like in a game as lazy. Like really what does he want them to change? Does he want the ability to just outright kill them any time? Does he just want them gone all together? I get why people say gamers are impossible to please now.
I hate it because it's quite annoying to gun down the same cunt 80 times, not bothered by the first person at all. I loved RE5, which Yahtzee shits on, and might give RE6 a shot as well. 7 just seems like something I really wouldn't enjoy, mainly because those monstrosities are missing, I've become accustomed to.
I am legitimately surprised no one has made this joke yet: “Ummm *ackshually* Jack Baker is wielding a Thatcher, they’re not even remotely the same thing.” Oh lord I felt unclean channeling that energy.
Every time the writers from RE4 hear you talk about how the went "intentionally camp" for the story... They nervously laugh, make an excuse to leave, and cry into the steering wheel on the way home. On a serious note, you always seem to assume it was intentional. I wonder if your opinion on the game would change at all if a writer from the game told you that was their best attempt at a serious complex drama narrative.
Gordon Petten I think the assumption comes from Leon cracking jokes and one liners like an action hero as opposed to RE5 or RE6’s dramatic music scenes and attempts at the characters being upset and dramatic.
@@cartoonnetworkdisneyxdsupe6864 That is so true. We could tell Re 4 was taking the piss, especially given the fact that remake had a pretty good story and so much subtlety to the game design.

100 % accurate review of the game. I am a long time RE fan, and agree that 4 was the best and still replay it today. 7 Was very good, but replayability is not there at all. Well done Yahtzee.
Yahtzee: "They'll probably fuck it up one of two ways: bringing back old characters..." Capcom: *looks up from their Resi Evil 3 remake* "You say something?"
All your reviews are usually great but this one is probably your best one in a while. The jokes were really well crafted, i laughed non stop the whole review
I've payed RE since RE1 came out on PS1. This is the first time in a long time that I actually felt tense playing a RE game. I had to really think about when to fight and when to run. great game!!
Yahtzee has the incredible super power to come up with just the most WTF amazing similes and metaphors. "I would have been pleasantly surprised by a dead prawn in a sock"... beautiful.
The final fight with the father was rendered unchallenging seeing how I conveniently switched out the flamer for the grenade launcher I basically defeated him in seconds because of it
He has lots of games he likes. He's a soulsborne fan, he's a fan of Silent Hill 2, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, etc., he just likes putting games through the wringer because he says 'I try to be as negative as fuck about a game because I want to have game developers have high standards for themselves.'
The way you described your usage of the trigger bombs at the end is literally how I handled the last half of the game plant bomb wait for them to approach and boom
2:10 THANK YOU, to me being able to fight back but finding out its completely useless to do so by conventional means is more scarier then not being able to fight at all.
Psycho girlfriend, texas chainsaw massacre, Shambling zombies, SAW, monster flick and possessed child. They pretty much have all the classic horror tropes in one game.
Having finally gotten around to playing this game, I agree they mostly do a good job signaling when you're supposed to stop running and fight the family members. The exception was the final time you fight Marguerite: it took me a few minutes of running around to realize there was nowhere to go and I had to fight her.
did you do a second run-through on madhouse? because they do switch things around and the molded are more terrifying when they shuffle at you with unatural speed, I was actually more scared the second time around. though the amount of damage they do is ridiculous.
It wasn't the black enemies really. It was the fact that the swamp levels had literally spearchucking tribals and firebreathing shamans, which would be fine on their own but combined with the "realistic" depiction of a poor African township in the beginning comes off as really racist.
"Farmer Shovel fuck", Yeah that's about accurate. Still scary as hell though. I really wish that Capcom un-fucks themselves and make another Resident Evil 4. I don't mean remake it, though that would make me cream my pants, I mean take what made Resident evil 4 great and expand on it in a new game.
AlsikePike loads of parasites can live on or in 1 host but usually only parasitoid can, parasitoids almost always kill their host while parasites most often dont
So I had this thought of a way to combine the whole outlast gameplay where you run and hide from the monsters along with the resident evil thing here you can actually fight. Make it so combat is discourage. And I don’t mean like make ammo scarce or the enemies are bullet sponges. But in where the player character can barely fight. Where he’s the average Joe who has never fired a gun is his life so when you get the gun your aim is shaky so you can barley aim. You don’t know how to dampen the recoils so depending on what weapon you have your arms are their flung back or you get thrown on your ass. And the reloads times are long since you character barley knows how to reload. So combat is an option but you can barley shoot since the protagonist doesn’t know how to use a gun. You could have some kinda progression where their A:the more you sue the gun the more the character learns and adapts. Or B: you can find instruction booklet on how to reload more effectively and proper stances. You don’t get to a point where it’s becomes and shoot fest but you can at least defend yourself just enough so you don’t get devoured.
I'm surprised he liked it at all. I hated it, there was almost no suspense, the best horror they had was jump scares, and the insane survivability of the main character made the game trivial. Not to mention everything hinged on a plot thread that made no sense (why do I care about my wife who abandoned me? Why would I choose her the murderer over the woman who has been helping me?) and also had no agency for the player. The major choice in the plot is a non choice, the game ends just about the same either way
Heretek To me Zoe withheld. vital info and the other would make that take priority. Though there still was jack shit that made that choice relevant. It was literally the final nail in the coffin for me and the game, which had numerous issues throughout it. I honestly felt like my 60 bucks was wasted. The dlc released a week afterwards is like a shit covered knife being twisted in my back.
Heretek Also yeah: I was expecting more than just atmosphere but they did nothing to capitalize on it. All those jumpscares were crap and predictable, the writing trivial, and even if I played this on Madhouse it wouldn't be better. Enemies just get tankier, faster, one hit kill you, and chase you. When I know everything is there, it gets ruined. Enemies like the Bakers can rarely be used in such small settings effectively.
Heretek 1. Because she went missing. She did not abandon you 2. Because she is your wife and did all those things while under mind control 3. It does not end the same way, though I get what your are saying. Mia either dies and all your effort have been for naught or you save her so you can go home and plow her while the dog stands in the corner and watches you.
"Bringing back previous resident evil characters no one cares about" Bruh the best thing about resident evil (in my opinion) was that it stayed with familiar charters that you know and love. Resident Evil for the very beginning has also been cheesy campy horror. It was scary at times but funny at others with the bad acting and dialogue. All together I find the series very charming as long as you don't take it too seriously. I hated that 7 had nothing to do with the original characters.
Sigh... RE Classic Fans: "Meh, RE4 was okay, but was really the beginning of the end. Bring back Code:Veronica or RE Remake!" Literally everyone else: "RE4..." *fap fap fap fap fap*
I've heard a LOT of dissent about the gameplay, and the POINT of the story, as Yahtzee even noted, is that they realized their lines are cheesy and overdone, so they played into it by giving the game an action movie plot. Is it true 5 gives you an assistant who picks up every mine you lay down because she thinks she's helping?
Never really liked re7 I got passed the Garage and I never played it after that To me it wasn't a resident evil game It was a Outlast game with a Resident Evil slapped on the front of it
You call RE7 can outlast game yet the only thing it has in common with outlast is the first person perspective. Plus you have no right to even criticize the game if you haven't even finished it yet.
A half decent story? I have seen fanfiction less boring and contrived as this. My high school creative writing class had better writing done it it. Horror? Yeah, if cheap ass and predictable jumpscares count as horror now a days. The atmosphere was hands down the best part of this but nothing capitalized on it. I am easily the most easy to scare people on the planet and this game got me a total of...1 time maybe? Maybe 2? Was not well done in my opinion so it is subjective like everything else. *dives into hateproof bunker*
Starcraftgamer97 I guess I'm one of the few that considers being chased by a monster (the only jump scare there was blasting through a wall) to be horror
The best part is when you realize that the remote bombs don't have a large enough blast radius to hurt you. I almost died laughing watching my friend run up to monsters, put a bomb between their legs, and BOOM! Without any backing away, it looked like a speedrun.
Yes the skinny crab lady who shits wasps is hard but you forgot to mention the father who turns into a giant head and eyeball monster when you're about to escape. only after that is it a series of quicktime events.
Try playing it on Madhouse mode. The Baker's run and follows you where ever you go, except the save areas. All the areas that give extra ammo give little to no ammo. The creatures are harder to kill and kill you quicker. Plus you can be killed while doing a time stopped puzzle. You also have limited saves like in Residents evil one. You will be blocking a lot more too.

@@demonintellect9834 Not to mention the two entire ass remakes that came out after this
@@DrFrankenMax he said characters nobody cares about.
@@MrGamelover23 You give a shit about Lara Whats-Her-Tits the STAR example of someone who doesn't know how to do their fucking job??
All your reviews are usually great but this one is probably your best one in a while. The jokes were really well crafted, i laughed non stop the whole review
I've payed RE since RE1 came out on PS1. This is the first time in a long time that I actually felt tense playing a RE game. I had to really think about when to fight and when to run. great game!!
So.. He didn't get to the ending where knock-off Chris Redfield saves you in an Umbrella helicopter?
It was like the lovechild of silent hill 2 + texas chainsaw massacre + Last of us.
With a sprinkle of Evil Dead.
For those new here: He really liked it.
Yahtzee has the incredible super power to come up with just the most WTF amazing similes and metaphors. "I would have been pleasantly surprised by a dead prawn in a sock"... beautiful.
The final fight with the father was rendered unchallenging seeing how I conveniently switched out the flamer for the grenade launcher I basically defeated him in seconds because of it
Your videos are always extraordinarily spot on.
I love how positive this review was. Goes to show how good the game is.
Hello, just a friendly reminder that the shows name, 'Zero Punctuation', is a reference to how fast Yahtzee talks.
Glad to hear even Yahtzee things the game was worthwhile!
He has lots of games he likes. He's a soulsborne fan, he's a fan of Silent Hill 2, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, etc., he just likes putting games through the wringer because he says 'I try to be as negative as fuck about a game because I want to have game developers have high standards for themselves.'
No homo man, but I seriously fucking love your reviews and your videos. You're one of only two people I actually respect as a reviewer.
Considering a guy named Redfield shows up by the end of the game, I think we all know how they're going to fuck it up again.

Actually, the only permanent damage to Ethan was that boot to the face.
Madhouse mode Jack is "evade the scary hillbilly" on steroids. He follows you everywhere and patrols everywhere.
"Skinny lady who shits wasps" I'm sorry, *what?*
The way you described your usage of the trigger bombs at the end is literally how I handled the last half of the game plant bomb wait for them to approach and boom
Diversity is good, it must be because politicians say it all the time.

And MTV. Music Television.
Have you gained a spine in seven years?
2:10 THANK YOU, to me being able to fight back but finding out its completely useless to do so by conventional means is more scarier then not being able to fight at all.
How to erase any sort of horror from any game:
Have Yahtzee butcher it.
Side note- I think this Robert Hadenfield ad is the ONLY RUclips ad I’ve watched from start to finish every time it’s on
This is what british people think rural america has, and it's what rural america wishes it had
Psycho girlfriend, texas chainsaw massacre, Shambling zombies, SAW, monster flick and possessed child. They pretty much have all the classic horror tropes in one game.
RE 4 is the best... of course it is!
I described this game to my dad as the thing meets deliverance
Lol they did screw the series up by bringing Chris back... lol
Having finally gotten around to playing this game, I agree they mostly do a good job signaling when you're supposed to stop running and fight the family members. The exception was the final time you fight Marguerite: it took me a few minutes of running around to realize there was nowhere to go and I had to fight her.
You aren't going to believe who is awesome!!!
First 2 words
well I guess that's one way to change it up
Are you from 2010? Probably the last time I saw that format used
Dead meme.
dead meme but managed to get revived just like re series
Finally something fucking original.
You sort of predicted what would happen. All hail Yahtzee.
well they did bring back Chris for village
I can't wait to see what he's going to punch this time
did you do a second run-through on madhouse? because they do switch things around and the molded are more terrifying when they shuffle at you with unatural speed, I was actually more scared the second time around. though the amount of damage they do is ridiculous.
God forbid an action game set in Africa had a predominant amount of black enemies.
PopulateTheMoon should've done what MGSV did then and just give everyone machine guns and walker mechs. boom, no more racism allegations.
Captain Doomsday they're Japanese creators, so apparently yeah
Eh hum. "Sheva"
Maybe if they didn't try to kill you with spears
It wasn't the black enemies really. It was the fact that the swamp levels had literally spearchucking tribals and firebreathing shamans, which would be fine on their own but combined with the "realistic" depiction of a poor African township in the beginning comes off as really racist.
"Farmer Shovel fuck", Yeah that's about accurate. Still scary as hell though.
I really wish that Capcom un-fucks themselves and make another Resident Evil 4. I don't mean remake it, though that would make me cream my pants, I mean take what made Resident evil 4 great and expand on it in a new game.
just pointing its, its parasitoid wasps not parasitic wasps, theres a difference
What's the difference?
AlsikePike loads of parasites can live on or in 1 host but usually only parasitoid can, parasitoids almost always kill their host while parasites most often dont
after watching hours of Yatzee's game reviews I have to speed up every other video on the internet. I love it.
Is Nioh also getting reviewed?
It's dark souls in Japan, of course he's going to review it
Gaiamatt No it is Japan's Dark Souls in Japan! I mean Japan-Japan, you understand!
Silius Black so it's like ninja gaiden
"Well, it's set in rural America where it's fuck all to do in the winter except build another house" - now it makes sense to me.
Making fun of both sides of the political aisle.
*Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.*
So I had this thought of a way to combine the whole outlast gameplay where you run and hide from the monsters along with the resident evil thing here you can actually fight. Make it so combat is discourage. And I don’t mean like make ammo scarce or the enemies are bullet sponges. But in where the player character can barely fight. Where he’s the average Joe who has never fired a gun is his life so when you get the gun your aim is shaky so you can barley aim. You don’t know how to dampen the recoils so depending on what weapon you have your arms are their flung back or you get thrown on your ass. And the reloads times are long since you character barley knows how to reload. So combat is an option but you can barley shoot since the protagonist doesn’t know how to use a gun. You could have some kinda progression where their A:the more you sue the gun the more the character learns and adapts. Or B: you can find instruction booklet on how to reload more effectively and proper stances. You don’t get to a point where it’s becomes and shoot fest but you can at least defend yourself just enough so you don’t get devoured.
I'm surprised he liked it at all. I hated it, there was almost no suspense, the best horror they had was jump scares, and the insane survivability of the main character made the game trivial. Not to mention everything hinged on a plot thread that made no sense (why do I care about my wife who abandoned me? Why would I choose her the murderer over the woman who has been helping me?) and also had no agency for the player. The major choice in the plot is a non choice, the game ends just about the same either way
Heretek To me Zoe withheld. vital info and the other would make that take priority. Though there still was jack shit that made that choice relevant. It was literally the final nail in the coffin for me and the game, which had numerous issues throughout it. I honestly felt like my 60 bucks was wasted. The dlc released a week afterwards is like a shit covered knife being twisted in my back.
Heretek Also yeah: I was expecting more than just atmosphere but they did nothing to capitalize on it. All those jumpscares were crap and predictable, the writing trivial, and even if I played this on Madhouse it wouldn't be better. Enemies just get tankier, faster, one hit kill you, and chase you. When I know everything is there, it gets ruined. Enemies like the Bakers can rarely be used in such small settings effectively.
Heretek 1. Because she went missing. She did not abandon you
2. Because she is your wife and did all those things while under mind control
3. It does not end the same way, though I get what your are saying. Mia either dies and all your effort have been for naught or you save her so you can go home and plow her while the dog stands in the corner and watches you.
Farmer shovel-Fuck. I love it 😂

That's it folks, see you next week !

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR TOO LONG, Time to watch.
"Bringing back previous resident evil characters no one cares about" Bruh the best thing about resident evil (in my opinion) was that it stayed with familiar charters that you know and love. Resident Evil for the very beginning has also been cheesy campy horror. It was scary at times but funny at others with the bad acting and dialogue. All together I find the series very charming as long as you don't take it too seriously. I hated that 7 had nothing to do with the original characters.
amarantine1323 who cares, the old characters sucked anyways
A wonderful review as always! :))
Sigh...
RE Classic Fans: "Meh, RE4 was okay, but was really the beginning of the end. Bring back Code:Veronica or RE Remake!"
Literally everyone else: "RE4..." *fap fap fap fap fap*
pls tell me you are joking? They did it back in 2012 or so on PS3 AND 360...
There are two types of people: Those who've played RE4, and assholes.
I've heard a LOT of dissent about the gameplay, and the POINT of the story, as Yahtzee even noted, is that they realized their lines are cheesy and overdone, so they played into it by giving the game an action movie plot.
Is it true 5 gives you an assistant who picks up every mine you lay down because she thinks she's helping?
1:28 - Thank you.
Doughboy123x
Gotta be bipartisan
Well well well, they did fuck it up with Village so they better rereboot the whole thing with the next one 😛
Not fucked up
Nah Village is fun, Yahtzee just is picky over particular elements he likes about RE and the previous characters are not among his favourites.
3:10 "Farmer Shovelfuck" Nice gonna be using that.
Never really liked re7
I got passed the Garage and I never played it after that
To me it wasn't a resident evil game
It was a Outlast game with a Resident Evil slapped on the front of it
You call RE7 can outlast game yet the only thing it has in common with outlast is the first person perspective. Plus you have no right to even criticize the game if you haven't even finished it yet.
2:54-3:01 this pretty much describes every creepypasta killer.
RE5 wasn't racist at all though.
Wow, this one was exceptionally good! Great job!
A half decent story? I have seen fanfiction less boring and contrived as this. My high school creative writing class had better writing done it it. Horror? Yeah, if cheap ass and predictable jumpscares count as horror now a days. The atmosphere was hands down the best part of this but nothing capitalized on it. I am easily the most easy to scare people on the planet and this game got me a total of...1 time maybe? Maybe 2?
Was not well done in my opinion so it is subjective like everything else.
*dives into hateproof bunker*
In less you're Edgar Allen Poe then please take a seat.
Starcraftgamer97 I guess I'm one of the few that considers being chased by a monster (the only jump scare there was blasting through a wall) to be horror
Unpopular opinion: Jumpscares are as legitimate a horror technique as anything else.
quality video lad, been waiting on this one
MAGA
An impeachment would do that right away.
I wish there were more trap bombs, they were my favourite type of weapon and I would have definitely needed some more for those last 2 fat molded.
The best part is when you realize that the remote bombs don't have a large enough blast radius to hurt you. I almost died laughing watching my friend run up to monsters, put a bomb between their legs, and BOOM! Without any backing away, it looked like a speedrun.
A dead prawn in a sock is my favourite game so far this year
At least it didn't have any quick time events.
Dylan Breheny Or a season pass!
Yes the skinny crab lady who shits wasps is hard but you forgot to mention the father who turns into a giant head and eyeball monster when you're about to escape. only after that is it a series of quicktime events.
Oh man I can't wait for the RE8 review...
Try playing it on Madhouse mode. The Baker's run and follows you where ever you go, except the save areas. All the areas that give extra ammo give little to no ammo. The creatures are harder to kill and kill you quicker. Plus you can be killed while doing a time stopped puzzle. You also have limited saves like in Residents evil one. You will be blocking a lot more too.
Me (slowly reaching for a hat with 'dunce' on it): what's a trigger mine?
