Why I HATE Resident Evil 8 Village

Hello and welcome back to a new video game

review. So today I'm going to be reviewing

the brand new Resident Evil 8,

and as you may know, I'm a pretty big fan

of the Resident Evil series. Resident Evil

1, 2, 3— extremely great games,

iconic classics, just amazing

masterpieces. But this Resident Evil 8 is

just a complete load of rubbish, and it's

definitely not worth buying for £50.

£50! How come games are so expensive these

days? Back when I was a kid, it used to

cost about £30 to buy a new game, and now

you have to pay £50, and then you don't

even get a free demo. You don't even get

to try the game. What if I spend £50 and

then I don't like it? Then I've just

wasted £50. So I've been playing the new

Resident Evil 8 game for a few hours now,

and I think it's complete rubbish. I don't

know why Capcom keeps making these new

Resident Evil games. Resident Evil 7 was

also the same. It's called Resident Evil 7

and Resident Evil 8, but there's nothing

about it that is even linked to the

original Resident Evil games. They might

as well just called it a completely new

game at this point because I feel like

they're just using the Resident Evil name

to, you know, get attention, get people to

buy it, get Resident Evil fans interested

in it. But really, these new Resident Evil

games are nothing like the original. Even

the story is completely unrelated, the

enemies are completely different, the

whole theme and atmosphere of the game's

completely different. If you just showed

me the game and you didn't tell me the

name of the game, I would have absolutely

no idea that it's Resident Evil. It just

looks like some bog-standard horror game

that was made by some indie company and

they just slapped the Resident Evil name

on top of it. There's, there's nothing

about it that reminds me of the original

Resident Evils. The camera angle is now

first-person shooter. Since when did

Resident Evil become a first-person

shooting game? It was supposed to be a

third person from different camera angles

and to create this kind of creepy horror

atmosphere. And then it was kind of like

an over-the-shoulder third-person camera,

which was still good, it was still fine.

But now it's first person, that's just so

not Resident Evil. So the story takes

place in Romania for some reason, just in

the middle of nowhere in the Romanian

woodlands in the countryside. You're in

some kind of wooden hut in a village in

the middle of nowhere And instead of

zombies, get this, instead of zombies,

the main enemies are kind of like vampire

werewolves. They, they kind of look like

vampires, they've got fangs. They don't

look like zombies at all. They don't

shuffle around creepily. They don't look

like zombies. They jump and they run and

they even ride horses. This is just so

stupid. So you've got these running

werewolves that ride horses and they're

like massive bullet sponges. You can sink

20 bullets, you could fire your shotgun 5

times into these, you can do like 10

headshots and they still don't die. What

is the point of a headshot when it doesn't

kill them in one kill? You're supposed to

do a headshot and that takes them out

instantly because, you know, you destroy

the brain and that's supposed to take them

down. How are you asking me to believe

that after 10 headshots These things are

still getting back up. It's just so

annoying and frustrating when you're

firing, firing, and it just seems like

it's not doing anything. And the setting

and the atmosphere is just so boring.

You're just in this countryside in

Romania. There's just loads of trees and

some wooden huts. It kind of looks more

like The Witcher instead of a modern-day

game. It looks like you're in medieval

times, and there's werewolves, and there's

also this massive guy who looks like a

zombie Santa Claus, and then there's this

cackling witch who just appears out of

nowhere, says a load of random stuff, and

then walks off. It's just so stupid. At

least in the original Resident Evils, it

was kind of believable. Yeah, I know it

was zombies and zombie dogs and monsters,

but there was a logical reason behind them

existing. There was a secret virus that

was created in an underground lab in a

cool mansion that turned people into

zombies, and there was like a scientific

explanation for all this. Now in Resident

Evil 8, it just seems like a load of

stupid rubbish werewolves and weird

witches and big guys who can jump 20

meters and ride horses. It's just so silly

at this point. And Resident Evil 1, 2,

and 3 had iconic stages and setups

and backgrounds. You got Resident Evil 1

in the spooky mansion on top of a secret

underground laboratory. That's really

cool. And you got Resident Evil 2, which

was in Raccoon City in a police station.

That's really cool because you think, oh,

you're in the city, it must be safe in the

city where there's millions of people and

there's the cops. And you're in a police

station, which is supposed to be the most

well-defended building in a whole city,

and it's all overtaken and there's no

people alive anywhere. That was really

creepy being in Resident Evil 2,

wandering around those lonely halls of the

police station. And then Resident Evil 3,

also kind of creepy because again you're

in the city that's been completely

destroyed and overtaken, run over by

zombies. Those games were really great and

really set a cool atmosphere and mood.

Resident Evil 8, you're just in the woods

in Romania and there's some wooden huts

and wooden villages. It's just really

stupid and boring and there's no cool

atmosphere kind of feeling. It kind of

just looks like Slenderman but with better

graphics. As for the graphics, they're

just not really up to my standards. They

don't look bad, but it's supposed to be a

next-gen game. It's on the PS5, the next

generation of consoles designed from the

ground up for the next generation of

consoles, and there's nothing about this

game that looks amazing. It just looks

pretty bland. It doesn't look really cool.

There's no cool shiny textures and

graphics. It just looks like a

bog-standard video game that's been around

for years and years and years. I don't

really see anything good about the way

this game looks. So what's the point of

next-gen? One of the gimmicks of the

next-gen PS5 is the stupid controller with

its gimmicky triggers and its special

vibration things. Who cares about the

vibration? Do you really care that much

about different vibration levels when

you're playing a game? Honestly, I don't

care. Every time I play a game, I always

turn off the rumble settings or the

vibration because I don't want something

buzzing in my Hands when I'm trying to aim

and I'm trying to play. It's just

irritating. It doesn't make it more

realistic. It doesn't make me feel like

I'm actually being shot. I don't really

want to feel like I'm actually being shot

or attacked when I'm playing a game. I

want to play a game and have fun, not feel

like I'm being shot. And then the trigger

thing— who cares about the stupid squeezy

trigger thing? I just want to press the

trigger and I want it to do one thing. I

want it to fire the weapon. I don't want

to have to press it down at half strength

and then full strength, or I don't know

what else it does. Like, you're supposed

to grip on the trigger thing really hard,

or it's pressure sensitive. I really don't

care about that stuff. I just want to

press the trigger and I want the gun to

fire. I don't want anything else. The game

is really not scary either, and the whole

point is it's supposed to be a horror

game. How's a horror game not scary? It's

not scary because number one, the

atmosphere and the mood and the setting is

not really scary. You're just in the

countryside, there's nothing eerie about

it. There's no police station or army

barracks or like a cool city that's all

deserted and empty. You're just in

woodlands in a village. It's just really

boring. And then the enemies are really

boring as well. They're just like

werewolves that jump up and down and run

at you. There's no creepiness. In Resident

Evil 1, 2, and 3, you have different

zombies And they have clothing, so you'd

have like a zombie policeman, and then it

would be creepy because you'd think, oh

no, if the police are also zombies, then

who's left to protect us and protect the

city? There's no hope. And then you also

have like soldier zombies, which is even

creepier because you think, oh, the army,

they must be able to protect us. Oh no,

the army's gone too, and they're also

zombified. But all of the enemies in this,

I don't even know if you can call them

zombies. They all just look like random

peasants and villagers. They look like

homeless people, really. You can't really

tell what they were supposed to be before

they became zombies. Are you allowed to

call them zombies? What are they? They've

got fangs. I think from the beginning of

the story they explain that it's some kind

of fungus that turned them into this, so

it's not even a virus anymore. I don't

know if Umbrella is even behind it.

There's one character so far that I

recognize. Chris Redfield is in the

beginning. In the beginning sequence, he

shows up and takes your baby and he just

leaves you for some reason. He shoots your

wife and it takes like 50 shots for the

wife to die. And then he takes your baby,

knocks you out, and then just leaves you

lying there in the building. And then you

have to wander around and then your hand

gets bitten. You lose some fingers. I

just— I don't feel like there's any point

to any of this. It all just seems so

random. And then every time you heal, you

pour some kind of liquid on your

half-eaten hand. I don't know if this is

going to be linked to some kind of

storyline later, but it just seems kind of

pointless so far. So that was

my current review for Resident Evil 8 in

the village. I give it a 1.1

out of 10. It's just really boring. It's

really bad. There's nothing about it that

reminds me of Resident Evil. They should

not call these games Resident Evil. They

should just call it something else like

Jim Bob's Scary Adventure in the Woods.

It's just nothing like Resident Evil at

all. The gameplay, the story, the music.

There's nothing about it that's Resident

Evil, so stop calling it Resident Evil.

It's a load of rubbish. Don't buy it.
