I remember when I was an evil resident to my landlord, He hated me

my favourite detail about RE7 is the fact that in Japan the name of the series is Biohazard, so the name of this game over there is "Biohazard VII: Resident Evil" just a nice little touch of bringing everything full circle

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?

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

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.

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.

4:55 I swear Yahtzee can predict the future

Psychotic super powered republicans? I thought you were going to stop talking about Metal Gear Rising

Mad House difficulty is easily the best way to play RE7. The limited saves and the other little surprises make it even more unnerving.

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.

long time watcher, just wanted to say cheers as I really like this series

The real resident evil is Mia's facial animation.

I never did understand why or how there needed to be a big fuckoff grenade launcher on a farm.

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.

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.

I'm glad to hear Yathzee gotten over his fear of theme-park mascots

Hi there from the future, Yahtzee just named Resident Evil 7 his 5th Best Game of the Decade

Character: gets six stab wounds in his lungs. Also character: nothing a little gloop juice won’t fix.

Glad to see yatzee likes the game. It's an actual great game if people stop focusing on it being first person

"They got someone else to do it!" ROFL!

I think Yahtzee reviews how he has sex too

Resident Evil 8 will have Chris Redfield and cultists. Hmmmm

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.

I beat this game in VR in one sitting during an acid trip where everyone else fell asleep and it was one of the most memorable gaming experiences of my life

You gotta do the DLC where you the the crazy uncle who just punches everything and eats bugs

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.

1:21 - 'Psychotic, super powered Republicans' LMFAO

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.

1:22 - "Haha, that's a good one, Yahtz." 1:34 - "Hey! Uh... actually... yeah, fair cop."

Your videos are always extraordinarily spot on.

The last boss is easy? I can't wait for Pat to screw that up.

So.. He didn't get to the ending where knock-off Chris Redfield saves you in an Umbrella helicopter?

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

finish work, put youtube on and this is in my newsfeed been waiting for this review for awhile nice one yahtzee well worth the wait

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!!

Resident Evil 8 asks if you want a recap Most people : yes Me, an intellectual : Yahtzee

It was like the lovechild of silent hill 2 + texas chainsaw massacre + Last of us.

I absolutely love this man!!!! I just came across his videos and I'm in love!

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR TOO LONG, Time to watch.

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?"

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.

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

Wow, this one was exceptionally good! Great job!

At least SOMEBODY in the GOP followed through on their chants of "lock her up" But it turns out they got the wrong 'her'.

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

quality video lad, been waiting on this one

A wonderful review as always! :))

Glad to hear even Yahtzee things the game was worthwhile!

I love how positive this review was. Goes to show how good the game is.

after watching hours of Yatzee's game reviews I have to speed up every other video on the internet. I love it.

Damn im addicted to this now no turning back

Diversity is good, it must be because politicians say it all the time.

For those new here: He really liked it.

I've been waiting for this :)

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.

"Skinny lady who shits wasps" I'm sorry, *what?*

Actually, the only permanent damage to Ethan was that boot to the face.

3:10 "Farmer Shovelfuck" Nice gonna be using that.

Hello, just a friendly reminder that the shows name, 'Zero Punctuation', is a reference to how fast Yahtzee talks.

RE 4 is the best... of course it is!

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.

Yet another great review!!!

Farmer shovel-Fuck. I love it 😂

well they did bring back Chris for village

just pointing its, its parasitoid wasps not parasitic wasps, theres a difference

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.

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.

How to erase any sort of horror from any game: Have Yahtzee butcher it.

This is what british people think rural america has, and it's what rural america wishes it had

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.

I described this game to my dad as the thing meets deliverance

Lol they did screw the series up by bringing Chris back... lol

Is Nioh also getting reviewed?

Madhouse mode Jack is "evade the scary hillbilly" on steroids. He follows you everywhere and patrols everywhere.

This went up literally as I finished watching a let's play for the series...

You aren't going to believe who is awesome!!! First 2 words

God forbid an action game set in Africa had a predominant amount of black enemies.

Side note- I think this Robert Hadenfield ad is the ONLY KZfaq ad I’ve watched from start to finish every time it’s on

Always loved this into

That's it folks, see you next week !

nut

Wow that was the best ZP in a long time

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.

Making fun of both sides of the political aisle. *Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.*

"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.

erm, that Tesco brand cola at the end was NOT diet!!

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.

Well well well, they did fuck it up with Village so they better rereboot the whole thing with the next one 😛

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

Me (slowly reaching for a hat with 'dunce' on it): what's a trigger mine?

Loved the game in VR!

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*

RE5 wasn't racist at all though.

It peaked to soon with Jack chasing you.

Welcome to the family Yatzi.

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

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*

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.

excellent sir
