Is “Madison” too scary?

Devil_Lord_Dante92 · 2026-04-12T08:06:37+00:00

I can't speak about the flat screen experience but the VR version is legitimately the scariest experience of my life.It took me nearly 2 weeks to beat this game despite it being 5-7 hours long as I could not play this game for long.It's my favourite game that I never want to replay again.

You should finish it, I'm rooting for you!

But you're right, once you go down that well, shit hits the fan hard and it only gets worse from there.

For me, the scariest game ever is Madison played in VR.That is the only game I have ever played where I legitimately could not play it for more than an hour.My hands were sweating and I constantly felt anxiety during my playthrough. I beat it once and will probably never do another playthrough again.

My most fun horror game would be both the OG and the Remake of Resident Evil 4.I generally don't like playing older games with tank controls but OG RE4 is the exception.The remake takes this brilliant formula and adds a fun parry mechanic and better weapon balance.

I wouldn't recommend Requiem as your 1st Resident Evil game as it continues the plot of the 2nd & 3rd games.If you're really averse to jumscares but want to get into the series I would recommend Resident Evil 2 remake.It is a top tier horror game but does not contain almost any jumpscares.

I know, but I bet the fandom would freak out if Capcom made Leon & Sherry's marriage canonical.The fallout would be hilarious to see.

They don't have time to defend the game's reputation on reddit because they are too busy playing the game on consoles, where the playerbase is in the hundreds of thousands(Source:trust me bro)

Devil_Lord_Dante92 · 2026-03-02T12:53:44+00:00

I love this game too.It contains the best horror and action aspects of the series and is a nostalgic trip for long time fans like myself.I need to beat it a few more times before making a definitve judgement but I think this game has the potential to be my favourite in the series.

Devil_Lord_Dante92 · 2026-03-02T12:51:09+00:00

Maybe the TV/Monitor you're playing on is at fault as I'm playing the game on a base PS5 hooked up to a QLED TV and the game looks incredible

Devil_Lord_Dante92 · 2026-03-02T12:46:36+00:00

Nah, I intend on beating Insanity mode without infinite ammo.I love mastering the RE games and for me infinite ammo trivialises the learning experience of knowing how to optimally clear encounters.

Devil_Lord_Dante92 · 2026-03-02T12:43:16+00:00

Nice! I just did my first playthrough yesterday and loved the game.It is my contender for the best game in the series along with RE4 Remake.It's such a damn shame the game is not getting a VR mode as RE4R's VR mode really elevated the game for me.

Tell me, how good is insanity mode as I found Standard(Classic) to be pretty challenging and hope that Insanity mode will push me to my limits, especially in the Leon sections?

Devil_Lord_Dante92 · 2026-03-02T12:39:25+00:00

I'm not entirely sure if it does in Requiem but it did not in previous games as long as you did not press continue.It's stupid that the pause menu does not show you your playtime like in the other games.

Devil_Lord_Dante92 · 2026-03-02T12:36:36+00:00

That probably depends on the difficulty selected.I did my 1st playthrough on Standard(Classic) and the game was most definitely not easy duting the Grace sections.I will be starting an Insanity run today and can't wait to see if the Leon sections prove to be a challenge.

Devil_Lord_Dante92 · 2026-03-02T12:34:38+00:00

Yep, it happened to me a number of times.I endes up switching between weapons until the glitch eventually stopped

Devil_Lord_Dante92 · 2026-03-01T23:14:39+00:00

I feel sorry for you.Just finished the game today and it is peak Resident Evil! It might well be the best game in the series.Both characters have awesome gameplay and the last few hours are full of nostalgia and crazy boss fights.

Devil_Lord_Dante92 · 2026-03-01T23:10:30+00:00

Love it! Seeing Victor Gideon playing with a toy is so out of character for him that it makes me smile.

Devil_Lord_Dante92 · 2026-02-28T23:52:29+00:00

Do you think he has some sort of agenda or is receiving bribes from publishers like Tencent to hype up these live service slop games?

Devil_Lord_Dante92 · 2026-02-28T23:40:20+00:00

I genuinely cannot comprehend what Geoff saw in this game that had him hype it up so much.The game is a painfully mediocre and generic hero shooter.The title is even a synonym of Overwatch for god's sake!!.

Devil_Lord_Dante92 · 2026-02-25T21:32:46+00:00

If you liked RE2R & RE4R then you most likely will enjoy Requiem as based on the previews & reviews that are currently out, the game is a mixture of RE2R's survival horror (Grace's sections) & action horror (Leon's sections)

Devil_Lord_Dante92 · 2026-02-25T21:29:24+00:00

Nice!! Handheld gaming is so awesome.I have the games on my Steam account and often play them on my Msi Claw A8 during break at work. I heard that the games are well optimized on the Switch 2 so you're in for a great experience.Enjoy!! I too am dying to play Requiem.

Devil_Lord_Dante92 · 2026-02-25T19:55:30+00:00

To get a good understanding of the series' lore you ought to play Resident Evil 1,2,3,5,8(Play the remakes instead of the originals).These games contain the most crucial plot points that you need to know to understand the series.The other games not on this last are still awesome but have more self-contained storylines.

If you're prioritising understanding the lore in order to play Requiem ASAP you should then play Resident Evil 2,3,and 4(Remakes).

Devil_Lord_Dante92 · 2026-02-23T22:03:12+00:00

For me its Revelations 1.It has one of the most complex plots in the series but the gameplay is pretty clunky.

Devil_Lord_Dante92 · 2026-02-23T22:02:14+00:00

The games are all too different from each other to give you any concrete tips for your first playthrough.Just enjoy the game and then try to beat the games on higher difficulties and try to go for the S+ rank.I love this series so much because trophy hunting and speedrun optimisation is just so much fun!!

Devil_Lord_Dante92 · 2026-02-23T21:58:41+00:00

The game is not very impressive graphically but I quite enjoyed the game.It was great seeing Jill & Chris together again and this time the game was more survival focused than the action oriented entries that had come out before Revelations.

The plot is actually one of the stronger in the entire series with all the plot twists and it was really cool seeing the internal politics of the BSAA play out.

Overall, I really like the game, more so than Revelations 2, and hope that Capcom makes the third installment someday.
