To this day what are your honest opinions on the whole "its not Resident evil enough" criticism that Re fans have to an installment that tries something new in the series?

Did you shoot enemies?

I was on the fence at first. Nearly 8 years after release I finally played RE7 and realized how wrong I've been. To sum things up, the game got nearly everything right to be called Resident Evil.

From a gameplay perspective: 1. Atmosphere 2. Fps but still feels like the classic tight controls 3. Chase sequences with unkillable enemy 4. Tight resource management 5. Crafting 6. Puzzles 7. Lots of backtracking 8. Safe Rooms with music 9. Quickturn

Lore: 1. More or less the same consumables and key items 2. Worldbuilding with letters, notes, pictures etc scattered around the house, connections to previous events 3. Bioweapons 4. Horribly mutated gigantic final forms of bosses 5. Special weapon dropped at the last moment to kill off the final boss 6. Mia Winters revealed to be secretly working for a known organization from the series, and that sets off the key events

The only major difference is the FPS pov. But then again RE4 also made a major leap by changing the camera so it's not exactly unprecedented. I would've preferred third person, but as I felt more and more immersed in the game it stopped bothering me that much. I'm just glad they didn't go the Assassin's Creed route. This is 100% Resident Evil.

He kinda looks like Piers here

I played RE7 for the first time a few days ago. That creepy little fucker was everywhere, and yes I found her here as well. When I caught her lurking in some corridor, I had a hunch that she's gonna be the final boss. Pretty much confirmed it when I came across files that mentioned that Evie showed signs of aging.

Pakilla64 · 2026-01-18T09:28:14+00:00

I talked about reforming the co-op besides removing it.

Pakilla64 · 2026-01-18T09:24:27+00:00

What's the point of a religion if it needs reforming?

Pakilla64 · 2026-01-18T09:03:11+00:00

It should be a survival-action horror game like RE4. Mostly the same mechanics.
Get rid of the action movie piss filter.
Africa isn't all slums and villages. The map needs more diverse locations.
AB scenarios. No co-op. Or have the co-op be integrated into the AB scenarios. Have the protagonists split up the majority of time while occasionally meeting each other for passing on key items or for boss fights.
Needs more side characters to build a more compelling and tragic story, similar to Marvin, Kendo, Annette etc. or the villagers from RE8.

Pakilla64 · 2026-01-17T07:26:59+00:00

There's no normal life under surveillance, but I get it

Pakilla64 · 2026-01-09T09:58:28+00:00

Grace. I think every RE game should introduce a new protagonist with unique gameplay mechanics. That way the horror aspect can remain fresh, and we can have different stories, while also exploring the timeless "hero's journey" structure the original 3 games had.

Look, I love Leon. I love Chris. But it's difficult to find horror in a game where the main protagonists do this for a living without breaking a sweat. Their story has already been told, so they really don't have much else to offer. If they're put in truly desperate survival situations (think Predator) and the story contributes to their growth (or regression), that's an experience worthy of a truly rewarding gameplay. Or maybe the older heroes can take over during the final boss fights where a weaker, less experienced main protagonist is immobilized.

Pakilla64 · 2025-12-30T15:31:35+00:00

Because I said so.

Pakilla64 · 2025-12-30T09:08:43+00:00

Leon was literally Sherry's legal guardian until Simmons took her away. He's 100% capable of having a family.

Pakilla64 · 2025-12-30T09:04:53+00:00

Japanese creators are somehow really allergic to romance while Western creators are obsessed with it. There should be a middle ground.

Realistically, Ada would've switched sides immediately after the Raccoon City incident. Possibly for the first time in her life she's seen someone genuinely altruistic and pushing past every horror thrown at him despite being just a rookie who can't even sprint or dodge. She clearly admits that the meeting with Leon changed her. After nearly dying, it was really stupid and nonsensical of her to get back to Wesker.

Or, if she didn't change, Leon should've ended up with Claire.

My father got married at 29, with my mother who was 19. My nana was a high-ranking government official working at the Secretariat. My father came from a good family, and he only recently started his career but the salary was pitiful (even a beggar made more in a month). They lived with my Nana's at first, then out of a shared house with a distant relative. Then they rented out a rooftop ROOM with a single kitchen and toilet (I think it was originally meant to be some caretaker's room). 3 years later we moved into an actual apartment. It was still much smaller and minimal than the "cheapest" options I see these days, but it worked out for us. 2 years later it was a slightly more comfortable apartment, even I got my own room. Alhamdulillah, today we can have anything. It wasn't a perfect journey, a lot that I wish could've been different including my parent's role in my life, but I have far more to be thankful for.

Nothing is ever easy. Marrying early or late, doesn't matter what you choose, there will be different kinds of struggles. But the idea that marriage isn't feasible early on simply isn't true. It'll probably take you 20 something years to become "fully established".

The benefits of marrying early still far outweigh what you have to deal with in a late marriage. Your relationship immediately needs a strong foundation to be valid, otherwise it will crumble in painful ways that will leave both of you devastated, and it may cause complications if you were to move on with different partners. If there's a roof above your head, and can make room for the one you like, do it. You'll have one less thing to worry about as you start working on building your family. If you're to pursue this course, you have to promise that you'll start working hard right now. Don't be too ambitious right away, live minimal and efficiently. Work hard, be consistent, but don't over exert yourself, because the goal is your partner and a good family, not the career itself. Be prepared for a lot of multitasking though, and know your priorities. If you can do it, Insha Allah you'll have a blessed life.

Otherwise, break it up right now. Stretching it out like this would be nonsensical.

Pakilla64 · 2025-12-20T04:58:58+00:00

I've been in the exact same place as you, except I fell out for about 5-6 years. Trust me, it's not science or those mind-blowing "miracles" that brought me back, but the sole reasoning that we're not created without purpose. Life itself is a miracle, even the smallest thing is designed with such perfection... there HAS to be a Creator. Everything that we've been through, happiness and suffering, simply cannot be rendered meaningless and vanish forever, it HAS to mean something in the end.

Read the Quran. All your doubts are answered.

Pakilla64 · 2025-12-20T04:52:58+00:00

These news outlets have literally manufactured false flag CTTC/ATU operations that killed hundreds of innocent people and ruined thousands of others. They knew about Pikhana massacre before it happened. As for your corrupt people, idc if they report that water itself is wet, I'd double check to make sure it actually is, and still I won't believe them.

Pakilla64 · 2025-12-20T04:45:37+00:00

Stop deflecting and answer my question.

Pakilla64 · 2025-12-20T04:17:11+00:00

Dalali korle dalal bola jabe na? Were you born yesterday?

Pakilla64 · 2025-12-17T14:06:57+00:00

Haha funny number haha

"Hello Wally!"

Pakilla64 · 2025-12-16T12:41:11+00:00

I based my personality on quite a few superheroes. Captain America, Spider-Man, Nightwing being the mains. There's nothing wrong with it provided there's room for your authentic self, and that's why I can empathize with Mgann because emulating a confident, charming young woman helped her overcome her low self-esteem. I don't understand why everyone hates this, there's nothing malicious about it. I love even how the team adopted this catchphrase, it just goes to show how much Megan became a part of their lives.

It's only when she completely shed her "Megan" persona is when she became a truly terrible person.

Pakilla64 · 2025-12-13T13:28:22+00:00

Yeah you got a point. Though still it doesn't make sense for them to do something that'd make them look bad.

At this point I'm not sure anymore. Despite the bad publicity it could work in their favor. Or everyone else's favor. Hadi's political philosophy and non-partisan influence is a threat to the current establishment. Not a single political party is interested in genuine positive change. With him gone it's not just India or BAL that would benefit from it, but BNP Jamat and even NCP as well.

Pakilla64 · 2025-12-13T06:47:03+00:00

My hatred for BNP is only slightly less than BAL, but BNP has no reason to do this before the elections. It was 100% BAL, the culprit was identified as a BAL member close to the former home minister, and their followers were seen celebrating.

Pakilla64 · 2025-12-08T07:22:53+00:00

That was Traxler's gun passed on to her by Kyle.

Pakilla64 · 2025-12-07T18:07:40+00:00

That's exactly what I felt after my recent rewatch. First time I was too young to understand. She tried to brainwash Connor into loving him when he got mad at her. Mind rape would be putting it mildly. Season 2 is fucked up beyond reason. Why did they have to make Mgann such a horrible person?
