first half of the video is my favorite spoiler stuff in the game. second half of the video is me being an insufferable petty nerd.
also if you missed my other video - this is where I just talk about non-spoiler stuff I really loved: th-cam.com/video/jLs8fDX-8qw/w-d-xo.html
I’ll watch after I beat the game!!
I have no doubt that the second half will be very *sufferable*, not insufferable at all. Very interested to hear your thoughts about this game!
I beat the game it was fantastic
Lets be honest Wesker is definitely going to climb out of that volcano within the next 5 years and everyone will perfectly happy with no explanation .Also appreciate that Lore appreciation not enough online.
Nuuuuuuuuuurd!
Ethan tasting "stale" and being called "man thing" were actually accurate observations.
And here I just thought those witches were being sexist XD
Interesting looking back at this now you mention it. It seems lady d knew he was different all along and Ethan himself had no idea
🤯
@@axelstone3131 Of course Ethan knew.
For me I questioned right away when he reattached his hand. Not that RE is realistic but I thought wait I thought he couldn't do that anymore. But yeah some comments like these take on a different meaning now. Same if you go back and play RE7.
Heisenberg calling Chris a 'Boulder Punching Asshole' is probably one of the best lines in the whole franchise. XD
Yes.
Absolutely bro. 👌🏾🔥🤣
Agreed...
This video sums it up what i want to say..i even was thinking to make a video similar to this but this guy was first.

Can we take a second.... next game having a female main character. Having her scream out in pain is going to get old fast.
Played the whole game in ome sitting with three friends, lights out and surround sound cranked. As three thirty year old men I'm not ashamed to admit that we screamed like children when the baby monster came down that hall....
same 32 here, I was literally just explaining how 'I like the game but wish it focused more on horror and scare....WOAH!!!' lol
36 😂 EXACT same moment made me jump and throw my controller at 1130 with speakers fully cranked
That was one of the scariest if not the scariest moment in all of gaming for me
31 here I screamed like a little kid when that baby popped it’s head 😂
same
What I loved so much was the fact that they treated The Duke like an deity. When Ethan asks who, or what he was. He didn't have an answer. Much like how the RE4 merchant was never explained he just vibed out. He existed. The Duke played such a vital role in the game, they have record of him trading with the people of the village, yet we still don't know who or what he was. He was easily one of my favorite parts. This game was just incredible.
His "What're ya buyin'?" Referance made me giggle. 😁
I started thinking about the fact that Duke knows the Merchant and I came to the conclusion that it probably exists an inner circle of biologically modified people that knows each other, the Merchant is clearly a Ganado of some kind and the Duke could be anything for all we know
@@TomSir79 Just recently I went through Bayonetta several times and Rodin makes a similar reference, couldn't believe they did it in RE8, too, so well executed :D
I really enjoyed Duke, I hope we haven't seen the last of him.
I'm so torn between loving the mystery of the Duke and wanting DLC that goes further into his backstory!
The factory level felt like something out of Wolfenstein.
Or completely stolen from Frankenstein’s Army (which Propeller Head and numerous other designs clearly were).
@@jeffn4836 have seen the comparisons and they look som what similar, atlest the probeller engine dude but its not that hard to come up with that designe for a monster,
even if they took insperation from the movie so what? are the elvs or orcs in wow stolen from lord of the rings? or the mold monsters in RE7 stolen from prey?
and where did prey steal the idea from? i mean inspiration is taken from all things nothing is 100% original.
kinda rich that the guy acusing the RE8 team of stealing his ideas are hardly original with the titel Frankenstein's army.
na it's just a small time guy not abel to handle that som one did somthing better then he did it. like the guy that wrote the Witcher books.
@@Jagatrip1 exactly 💯
@@Jagatrip1 Kind of sad that Capcom was so creatively bankrupt they had to steal from such a small time guy, huh?
The machines were the worst part of the game. It’s like they watched that film and added that whole section after the fact. Mech shit needs to stay out of RE. It’s biological horror. Leave the techno horror for a differ game.
@@jeffn4836 or it's fucking movie reference
The ending with Ethan's daughter all grown up.. I did NOT expect that.
She's not all grown up. She just rapidly ages because of what she is. It was probably only like 5 years
Really, time line jumps around in RE universe. We might have another RE game / movie that set between Village and the time Rose grew up lol
Being as she is from Ethan who was infected by Eveline’s mold, it is reasonable to assume she may have aged rapidly. However, Ethan was, “cured,” from the Eveline part of the mold. Maybe that erased that side effect. They can do anything.
Side note, Mia was totally okay doing the deed with a molded creature? 🤣 Freaky!
@@PrimisRulz Yeah I've heard that theory.
@@starscythe2099 Mia is also accustomed to the mold for the most part until she got vaccinated. I see what you mean. The couple had a thing for mold lol
I finished RE8 this morning and it made me tear up a little. I didn’t like Ethan in RE7 then he really grew on me just to die a heartbreaking death. It didn’t ruin the game for me though I’d still rate it a 9.5/10
P.S
Donna Beneviento is prettiest lady of RE8 IMO
What was heartbreaking for me was what Evelyn did to the Baker Family in RE7. Especially in the 'Mold Dream Sequence' where Jack is talking and telling you what happened.
Donna was pretty, but not for nothing Mother Miranda was fucking hotttttt
Everyone is lusting after lady D while I'm over here like "yeah I'm good with the supermodel with crow wings, thanks"
...... What the fuck is wrong with me 😂
I want Whesker McMoldMan to call Chris a boulder-punching bastard in Resident Evil 9
I felt like the Heisenberg voice actor was going for a Nicholas cage impersonation
now it makes sense...
Bro that’s exactly what I’ve been saying
I was thinking Keanu-but this sounds about right.
I’ve been Share Screening the game with a friend and he and I had to google who the actor was because at first he sounded like Nicholas Cage so much. Lol
@@coreyzittercob9564 me too bro 💀just to make sure
“The fathers story is now over” gets me every time
I think he is still alive. Yes his story may be over, but that does not mean he can’t be in Roses. I think they are trying to through people off. Capcom has never killed off a main character. Also, they are very cleshe as in they gave rose the typical double agent rebel look, I think she is a double agent working for umbrella. At the end where the guy says “you’re just like him ya know” and she replies “I know” as a snotty remark, I think he is still alive.
I think the funeral thing is to through off the Corp rose is pretending to work for
Heisenberg's voice sounds like that one kid from your high school who is a complete nerd but ends up getting some drip and puts on a fake, cool guy voice.
Someone has never heard of a Southern Accent.
@@mewgiah8057 that’s not a southern accent at all
@@mewgiah8057 southern like America? Not a real southern if so.
@@ZacTheFirst thats a toned down southern accent
@@iluvuant2817 no, it’s not. He’s Eastern European, that is in no way a southern accent
that baby monsters look and sound it makes will forever haunt my nightmares, first time i ran into that i literally screamed fuck that and paused the game.
About time someone is giving credit to my man Ethan Winters. The man just wants his family in tact and he’s kicking ass and taking names while he does it! Love the guy and he will be missed. His one liners brought me back to old campy B movie that I love so much.
Kicking ass and taking names? The same guy who was constantly beat, the same guy who had his hand chopped off twice now. Hand bit off and his heart ripped out. Yeah someone kicking ass and it ain’t Ethan. He’s a dry character I didn’t give a shit about Ethan I hate him and I hate Mia and their baby was ugly. Fuck Ethan Winters.
Nah Ethan is a idiot and it got very annoying. It could have been the voice actor saying the lines badly but there's so many moments like when his wife is shot right in front of him and his reaction is "Chris..... What the hell!?" And when he gets chucked into the dead villagers he goes "A dead body?" then "Wait there's more?". He just doesn't react like the everyman should to the horrific predicament he's in.
I dunno he just seemed too disconnected from the horror and his surroundings and when he did show some "character" it was pretty cringe. It's like the devs were stuck between giving him character and making him an empty vessel so the player would experience things more.
@@Ben-fk9ey I hated Ethan in re7 but I enjoyed him a lot more in village. I like the fact they killed him off. Thats just what the game needed . I'm glad he wasn't to good of a characters Otherwise the the internet would want him killed and replaced with a body building girl and her trans sidekick ! Capcom did right by us as far as I'm concerned
@@dontedavis6414 cool
@@dontedavis6414 stfu
I feel like rose being called Eveline was a big tip to whats coming.
Rose becomes the bad guy in RE9 with no one to stop her then boom Ethan winters rises from the dead to save the day.
@@martingrundy7577 I would be so mad if Rose ends up becoming a villain
@@hyramortiz5167 I think it would be great lol
@@martingrundy7577 I don’t see it, I just don’t see her disgracing Ethan’s sacrifice. I think it would be interesting to see Chris and Rose team up to do whatever they’re gonna do in 9. Go after BSAA maybe? Or maybe that already happened before she grew up, idk
The cutscene with Eveline psychologically terrorizing Ethan about his molded body was heavy. Ethan’s voice actor repeating “Family...Family...” to himself. Almost like you could hear conflicting selves within him, human Ethan and molded, monstrosity Ethan. For a second I almost thought he’d give in to being a mindless molded creature because he came so far only to be told he’s not even human. That little scene did a lot for me and how I viewed his sacrifice at the end. He was able to carry out his duty even after realizing he wouldn’t get out alive, not as Rosemary’s Father, or even as a molded man. I loved Ethan!
Who else after beating the game, quickly started up a new game and began replaying it? First RE game in a LONG time where I wanted to play the game through back to back again.
Yeah, i did. But just for a few Minutes until i could pick up my new and shiny Weapons which i bought with my Boni-Currency. After that i decided to continue after i finished those other unfinished Games i started.
Btw my first Playthrough was on Easy-Mode. My next will be on Normal and if Veteran isn't too hard i'll try that too. But not that Village of Shadows Difficulty!
Man, I feel you... I've already completed the game 5 times 😂😂😂
@@TomSir79 harder difficulties are much easier in new game plus, especially if you spring for some infinite ammo weapons. You can def do it. Just keep in mind that auto aim is off by default on hard and vos
Not even Resident Evil 2 Remake? Wow
It’s addicting.
“that Boulder punching idiot.” Best reference to past games yet.
It's asshole, not idiot
@@boynextdoor1951 sorry, working on my cursing. So I put that instead of the other.
Man i'm not gonna lie that part were Ethan died made me shed a tear.
It's like when your helicopter buddy dies in 4
Really but he's like the worst character
@@haunteddreams7856 I mean you go through so much just to save your daughter and you are with him all the way through its really was hart wrenching that he at least got to hold her and say goodbye for just a little while. He may not be the perfect character but it was one hell of a ride.
@@haunteddreams7856 I liked him. I mean does he kinda suck? Yeah, but he was a good character.
@@trissc6855 His name was Mike, you heartless wretch! 😭
Unpopular opinion maybe, but I throughly enjoyed Heisenburg’s voice acting. It was like a creepy Nicolas Cage. Also was a big fan of the village of shadows story told at the beginning and end and how it was related to the story and the 4 lords. The game kind of felt like a love letter to all kinds of old horror/monsters. Vampires, lycans, werewolves, fish creatures, dolls, and frankenstein.
Do people not like his performance? It was amazing, he was cool as fuck and had a lot of style to him.
A creepy Nicholas Cage...so, Nicholas Cage.
I liked Heisenberg
Same here.
It’s weird buts strangely charismatic. It’s just so buttery and smooth.
“Well, well, I didn’t think anyone was left.” 10/10.
If I had never heard Doug Walker's impression of agent Smith from the Matrix I probably would've enjoyed Heisenberg's voice acting a lot more.
Ethan is a BOW. He’s the perfect BOW and that’s what makes him special and probably the most important character in this series thus far. This series has been trying to create the perfect BOW but have failed. Ethan’s mind, soul, was still intact where other enemies have lost that.
Good point. Looks like his daughter is going continue that trend.
The most important character...... 😂😂 No he was just put in for 7 to feel useless up against the enemies
This is actually a great take. He's what Umbrella wanted to create, the next step in human evolution, and it's because of him that Rose is the perfect candidate for Miranda to revive Eva.
Yes! A BOW with a moral compass or at least an understanding of the human psyche could be very powerful
@@berby2068 reminds me of prototype or infamous
That house Beneviento feels like a haunted mansion in a theme park. You’re being chased and you’re at that point of being stressed out
The whole game was haunted Disney. 4 big attractions with a thoroughfare between
Rylecx 2.0 with the village being the hub area being the safe zone
It feels like that the first time , after 2nd and 3rd playthrough, not so much
House Beneviento was definitely memorable for me in so many ways. I loved how you didn't have to use a gun or fire a single bullet to get through it alive. The atmosphere was so good and all the little puzzles. I was literally stressed out while playing it and getting so scared and creeped out especially with the baby monster. They did good. Very Silent Hills/PT like.
Nick N. I believe that was intentional , when you were at House Benevito , while heading towards the corridors leading to where the doll Mia was , that hallway corridor looks eerily similar to the P.T teaser demo
Ethan's sacrifice made me tear up a bit I'll be honest. I have a 1.5 year old daughter so I can relate to his pain in doing that. He never really had a chance to know her at all and that hurt deep.
His daughter killed him :) lol
@@TQsquad how's that, exactly?
@@pauljamilkowski3672 i said it in a different comment on this video, u should go find it
I agree at the end where Ethan walks up to the mold mountain to blow it up was super cool, I wish they would have let you control him walking up slowly to the mold and pressing the button yourself.
Same. I was thinking about that as the scene happened.
The best part for me was Heisenberg´s voice actor, the way he said "Bitch" is amazing.
And “that boulder-punching asshole” had me laughing 😂
When Ethan called Dimitrescu’s daughters “crazy bitches” he sounded real hilarious to me. He sounded like an upset kid 😆
Oh man I just looked up that scene and he actually says “bunch of crazy witches”! I played with subtitles off and I swear it sounded like he said bitches. Oh no - I heard the wrong thing. What does that say about me? 😢
His accent was terrible. He's a factory worker, but he sounded like he spends his days at the country club eating finger sandwiches and drinking Arnold Palmers.
@@Taijifufu I don't know what Arnold Palmers is but I know one thing, the way he speaks and says Bitch is just wonderful.
Also damn seeing Ethan winters actually die is just sad and depressing.
Well to be fair he was already dead, this time he's just dead for good
@@franciscolozada1059 yeah that's true and you're right about that
The end cutscene shows that might not be the case.
He was (at least for me) a poorly written character and not seeing his face kind disconnects him for me, cuz we see all the faces of the other characters. When I finished the game and saw "The Father Story Ends" I was kinda happy. Am I being too harsh?
@@solida55_94 I was the same, like a meh feeling XD
Jake is just incredibly good at putting his thoughts into words.
thanks! I appreciate that especially considering I think this was my messiest video to date. I'm all over the place. I just love Resident Evil, new and old lol
Right?
Its called articulateing your words 😊
@@joshnevin6269 ^
Youre right he is. He should start a youtube channel or something
Y'know with the reveal in the lab that the mold basically holds the memories of people who've been infected by it, wouldn't Rose like know all the stuff that Ethan did and like potentially still talk to him like Ethan did with Evelyn since shed be like Half mold too.
Each lord was straight outta horror movies. Gothic vampire, possessed doll, body horror, frankenstein/nazi zombie.
Nazi zombie?
@@baizuo_6246 right? There were zero nazi zombies and that’s a call of duty game mode not a horror trope
@@NeonPanda64 lmfaoo
@@NeonPanda64 i think he meant the "frankenstein's army" set in 1945 on end of ww2
I’m hoping it’s not a time jump, cuz that would mean all the characters and stories we have come to love would be nearly two decades in the past , we need a proper end to tie it all together while also continuing the story
I’m hoping they go the route of rose aging fast like eveline. Like even though she looks 18 maybe only a year or two has passed in the timeline
RE6 was there attempt at a climax. Which didn't even include Jill or Claire. Remastered/remade Code Veronica could be a good wrap up of Claires story with the new lore continuing on from RE2. No idea why Chris is front and centre so much. Is Leon getting relegated to the RE4 remake? Then what about Jill? Is she getting shelved because RE3 was a flop and decided to go into Capcoms old habit of more explosions, less RE. Even cutting out the majority of RE3's amazing atmosphere. Howling zombie streets, jumping out of cars and swarming and surrounding you in cramped alleyways.
@@jamieenoshima5147 I think you're right about Leon being relegated to the RE4 remake, as they seem to be using him a lot in the remake/movie projects. Chris's games usually do not get much love so they're using him now in the mainline titles going forward, but also Chris being a beefy US soldier specialised in killing BOW's makes much more sense than sending in Leon who is not apart of a team in that way, so Chris fits THIS story more.
It wasn't that big of a time jump. Rose is just rapidly aging
@@PrimisRulz thats the hope
I also really miss the old cast. We haven't seen Jill since 5 or anyone other than Chris since 6. I want to play as Jill and Leon again.
Same!
And bring back barry too.
Well with the plot thread opening up to the BSAA we’ll probably see Jill soon
Yep those were the good times
I wouldn't mind a new bsaa character
As big daddy Kratos once said: Have low expectations boy, so you are never disappointed.
It hit me in a weird way when you see Ethan literally fall apart before going out with a bang. It almost felt like he couldn't die, like the dude was a god amongst mortals and once he realized he saved rose he knew it was time to let the others take the reins and his fight was over. We've only got two play him for 2 games but the dude grew on me that fast, RIP Ethan winters
Oh thank you for the heart lol
After the reveal of Ethan I realized just how amped up the violence on the player was in this game compared to 7
No it aint. Both game do the same. And both games just brish it of
@@bartjeyeyo in the second game he takes literal construction drills to his hands and his stomach how does that compete to anything in the 7th game
Playing Resident Evil 2 for the first time and it's brilliant. The atmosphere in the Police Station is beautiful!
The real one or the remake? 2 different worlds buddy
@@dailygrind1979 hate to say it but nowadays RE2 remake is the “real” game and will be for generations to come
@@dailygrind1979 I'm playing the remake my man. Resident Evil 1, 2 and 3 came out when I was a kid but I never got the chance to play them.
Same here, I’m on the 2nd run with Leon now! 10 out of 10 game! I don’t see Capcom topping it, but we’ll see. Also, ❤️ William Birkin and Claire. Cool ass characters
Capcom does a great job creating side stories of boss characters (Bakers from RE7 and the 4 lords from the village) and I wish they could just keep their focus on those characters instead of connecting them all to the main last boss and the whole umbrella lore.
I honestly loved Heisenberg. His voice actor just really worked for me personally
I did too, and I feel like I'm in the minority. He was a fantastic character, and I loved his voice acting. Of the 4 Lords, he and Donna were easily the best.
House Beneviento was by far my favorite micocosm of Village. It was thrilling and had my heart racing the entire time
It definitely had me at the edge of my seat for sure! I remember walking out of the house feeling totally relieved and so happy to have survived.
“What if it was wesker all along ?” Lmaoo felt that in my soul
I wish they added Leon, Ada Wong and Jill somehow. Lowkey I expected Sheva Alomar to cameo when you heard the BSAA was present at the village.
It's my favorite game of the year, so far.
I liked it as well Ik some didn’t and that’s completely fine but as someone who grew up playing RE 4 first and played the others later I had fun
Heisenberg's voice actor in a way sort of sounds like Keanu Reeves at times lmao
And acts like Nicolas Cage
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who picked up on that
Better than Johnny silverhand imo
Yeah he was kinda funky lol
@@musa4574 Sometimes, yeah.
"Hey Ethan, here's a part of your daughter, now, let's destroy Miranda, we can use your daughter as a weapon!"
I’m still speechless after that ending. Ethan is such a great character. I think they did a good job of progressing the story through both games feel natural. Btw the value that Re8 adds to Re7 is awesome now that we have the whole story.
Well the cool thing is at the post credits scene is seeing the car transporting Rose stops suddenly when on the right side of the car (Rose’s side) is potentially Ethan. Some other TH-camrs went into photo mode and confirmed that it is the model used for Ethan.
I’m gonna need Chris Jill Claire and Leon to be involved forever 😭 I was confused and disappointed because Chris is on the cover but he was 20 minutes of the game, and I’m glad I wasn’t the only one so done with the factory! It never ended while the doll house can be done in 10 minutes the content there felt so minimal compared to everything to else
Killing beneviento was the actual on scary bit with baby and stuff wasn't a big fan of the game myself but everyone to their own.
I definitely took way longer than 10 minutes in the dollhouse, but I also was scared and went very slowly through it (when I wasn't being chased by the baby).
@@fiacradoyle7474 I thought the castle portion was excellent and the village was very good. The mine area and factory were a huge let down imo.
@@MichaelWilliams-cd9if the intro was great when you f irst get into the town and the castle I liked it felt like a lot more could of been done tho like people don't like it when I point out re4 seemed to have a longer and bigger map in comparison obvs some differences nowadays with textures and enhanced graphics taking up download space but still I think it was big let down for me in a lot of way overall gameplay was good not knocking that at all but very short cleared it very fast and on hard difficulty they really should go back to their roots more like re2 and re3 top notch games.
@@fiacradoyle7474 if you like re2 and re3 then just play them. If you get tired of that there is about a hundred or more re clones over the years you can try. I liked village for the most part. It wasnt perfect but still good. And It is most likely just a game they made to reuse all the assets in re4 remake. Its practically the same game already
I was playing the Beneviento section, at night... alone. I had to continue next day morning.
Try Visage. It’s rough
7,8 and 9 will be a trilogy. Then the next RE wont be numbered but will all have different names, "Resident Evil : *put a name here*".
So I do think they will go into different ways with différent story. Some RE more horror like the Beneviento house, more puzzly like Demetrescu castle and more action like Heisenberg factory. Capcom created the perfect franchise through the years to please every kind of gamers. The best is yet to come! ❤
You brought up an awesome point that hadn't occurred to me, how each of the lords represents a specific part of Resident Evil's personality as a series. I can't wait to see how they tie everything together in 9.
I’m SO glad someone finally understood that Ethan was written the way he was INTENTIONALLY. Yeah he’s corny and cheesy on purpose, but he actually has a really cool arc too I feel, where in the end of the game he has actually become hardened and tough and more determined than ever. I loved it so much!
I agree with a lot of what you said, BUUUUT, I gotta admit, I kinda liked the Miranda story.
It's this nice little circle of love turning to hate and eventually, evil. Miranda's love for her daughter is the catalyst of all these horrible events, and Ethan's love for his is the undoing of a fair few of them.
I was thinking this could even be a great Re send off, then we see the BOW BSAA agents and obviously Capcom still have another one in them XD
I really hope we see some more stuff similar to house beneviento in RE in the future. It's easily one of my favorite sections in a horror game.
I'm kind of torn about whether that's a good thing - it's amazing the first time you go through it, but it will probably be a low point of the game on repeat playthroughs.
I disliked how they dialed down the overall horror factor in 8 compared to 7 all because a bunch of pussies complained that 7 was "too scary" 😒
I really hope we don’t play as Ethan’s super powered daughter. It would kill the whole vibe. Let’s follow Chris now deeper into the rabbit hole.
Yep, I still don't like the way the story goes :(
I think about games like Control and that's how I invision playing as Ethans daughter in RE9 if that would be the case. I hope we don't get to that point in the series.
She would just be like Ethan, able to reattach limbs with first aid, but still able to die receiving too much damage. She wouldn't be super OP, but a great advantage in battles against monsters.
Exactly. What I’m wondering is if we play as OP rose in re9, are they going to drop the first person, slow and methodical gameplay and feel more like Nick N. said, Control or quantum break? I just don’t know if the re7 and 8 style would work for a character like her.
@@mrbobert6312 she is far more powerful than Ethan. Everyone in the game literally says he is like a super weapon
You’d said you’re a RE fan from day one but When have you ever known Resident Evil to ever keep every title in sync with each other and continuously keep the same character in each title? Ethan is lucky to have had two titles in a row like that tbh.
The coherence of the story through 7 and 8 with call backs to 7 in 8 was a very good thing.
It's never happened before
5 and 6(Chris)
@@Ticketman99 bit of a push since it was multiple stories. Never had a full set of games dedicated to just one character.
I kinda want to see the twist that it was wesker all along lmao 😂
I want wesker to comeback so badly 😭
Him hoping out of a volcano would be very wesker of him.
No, Wesker is dead. He literally drowned in lava inside a volcano and got shot in the head with 2 RPGs. Hes not coming back
I miss wesker soooo much
Umbrella Corps. It’s the key.
Playing on village of shadows difficulty and I am being absolutely punished for it.
Just finished that difficulty today. It was worth every death. Last hour was the best and most brutal.
Use infinite ammo or it’s imposible
@@darkside7654 Yeah, I used infinite ammo with S.T.A.K.E
@@ronaldunderwood4270 if you use infinite ammo it doesnt count
@@0subsWith0vidsChallenge Try it without the infinite ammo. It's unfairly brutal. Some encounters are damn near impossible. Plus, even with infinite ammo it still only takes 1 or 2 hits to kill u. Especially the Heisenberg fight.
Tying Ethan's mold infection into the plot is a nice twist, but how could anyone NOT think that somehow the mold had gotten into him in 7 with all the crazy ass damage he took. He never was an 'everyman'.
I thought everyone figured Ethan was infected. I always knew he was infected during his blackout after being blindsided by Jack, but murdered? Did not see that. Ethan was able to use his hand again and we see Lucas get his hand chopped off. Jack blows his brains out and comes back seemingly fine as well. When you get to the old house(?) is when the infection,as stated by the memo; grows. That’s where Ethan begins seeing hallucinations but he hasn’t lost all sense of ego. He’s in mid infected stage. There’s actually a great video on this that I recommend if you haven’t seen it already. I think his name is Funko? Idk. Anyways, I was actually expecting the twist that Ethan was molded. I just thought that the route they would go would be every time a person infected is damaged, it’s the mold that replaces the damage areas. Like more mold forms or something like that unless you’ve taken severe damage and then the mold mutates into a large mass and takes a less human form like Jack or you calcify like everything else that takes too much damage. It’s basically the same explanation as they go with except they say Ethan legit died died. So yea assumed he was just like Jack except not insane because he never reached that level of infection
Plot armour. That and resident evil was always featuring cutting edge technology with biotechnology/weaponry etc. I always assumed the first aid water stuff just had some sort of stem cell regeneration formula in it and that’s why he could heal and reattach his hand etc. The idea that anyone knew he was molded is a lie
this was a great video! it’s super interesting to hear your perspective on this
I still wonder where's Leon S Kennedy Jill valentine and the rest of are favorite characters where have they gone.

@@dhrgkbqxtjr2743 yeah that’s true
I know where you are getting at. I think for veteran players we want some sort of closure to our past old favorite characters. We all are wondering in this new RE World are they dead or alive? What happened to them? Characters like Jill, Claire, Leon, Chris, Barry, Ada and etc are all fan favorites and I think old school players really like and care about these characters so naturally we want to know what something... Anything about their current state. Just my 2 cents.
I love how scared your face looks when you talk about Lady D turning into a Bloodbourne boss
The PT homage is just a pure video game/horror geek out moment! I know a lot of people have gripes with the game but I adored it, my favorite game of the year so far.
Love your content Jake Baldino! I watch all the gameranx vids on Facebook and just found your TH-cam! Keep doing your thing my man!
Unfortunately the ending with Ethan's daughter mentioned that she has powers which is actually making me worried that the next game is going to go the Alice from the movies route.
Oh god no
......no...no...noooooo
I wouldn’t worry because Ethan had powers technically yet it still had the same gameplay but who knows
Funny how people hated the movies for having a random character with powers but didn't complain about 7 and village which was a random character with powers 🤷♂️
I mean since RE4, all the characters were practically super human. From rookie cop Leon taking down Krauser with a knife, Chris punching boulders, Jake going hand to hand with a Nemesis like monster, Joe Baker with his iron fists, and Ethan with his regenerative abilities. We've had super powered characters for quite some time.
I was really hoping for an official face reveal Mandalorian style when he gave Rose to Chris. Like, her touching his face or just looking at him before his sacrifice. It would've killed me.
As a new Resident Evil fan whose first game is 7, everything about 8 was so exciting. I’m hoping Rose is a really fun character. I kinda hope they explore the concept of playing as somewhat of a biomutant monster yourself
No.
@@codymiller8969 they did lol
I absolutely loved the factory. The atmosphere and gameplay was amazing, especially thru headphones. A lot of people are saying it didn't fit with the rest of the games aesthetic given there's vampires, werewolves and Cthulhu vibes. Erm... Dr frankenstein anyone?
I liked it a lot as well, I thought it had the best gameplay. Also clear throwbacks to RE4 island section especially with the enemies who need to be hit in particular spots to die and sort of looks the same too (spiky)
It's a masterpiece imo. Sure it's not a completely flawless game, but I have never started a new game so fast before. Like, right after completing the game. Also, isn't it sorta funny how it's basically gonna be Parasite Eve with Rosemary in RE9?
I don’t see any replay ability in the game what so ever unless ur going for achievements
@@notacockgobbler2054 I think the infinite weapons are neat also lightsabers
And mercenaries mode which is my favorite mode in RE
@@denimschaffer9439 mercenaries is great but it's terrible in village
We need more Chris and Leon.
And clair and the umbrella villains
They're too OP at this point. Chris can move boulders. Leon is a superhuman kung fu guy.
WE NEED A GAME ABOUT CONTINUING THE REDFIELD BLOODLINE
Hell yes.
I literally come here because I like to hear you talk. I've never even played a single resident evil game but you're a nice way to take up time😂😂keep doing what you're doing
Honestly you can't keep making the same old games and expect things to not get stale.. Im glad they're changing things as long as they keep it horror themed. The remakes will give us old heads our fix for the past characters and villians and the new main titles will go somewhere else. I want Veronica remake already!
Interesting. Haisenberg was actually the most interesting character to me, ability wise and surprisingly was my favorite voice actor from the villains.
Agreed, his boss fight sucked though. He deserved to come back, I reckon. He really wasn't incapable of a redemption arc (edited).
@@takoshihitsamaru4675 He was absolutely a bad guy. Where do you think he got all the bodies to experiment on? Those were all people dude.
Also, he says that he wanted to manipulate Ethan's child to become his personal weapon against Miranda... How can you not consider him a bad guy?
Sure, he was there against his will too, doesn't make him not a villain in his own right tho.
@@amarntsitran3406 The corpses were from villagers who died to Miranda's other forces or natural causes. He raided graveyards not committed mass killings.
@@traceyrinaldi4759 well the second point still stands he wanted to use rose as a personal weapon
@@amarntsitran3406 I sort of see it like this, in his situation, obedience was the only way he survived, human experiments was something Miranda seemingly pushed her lords to do anyway, so why not do it with an alternative agenda.
As far as using Rose to kill Miranda, we don't really know what that would look like, and Ethan could always retaliate if he saw it would not be in the best interest of her wellbeing.
But as far as "save your daughter, kill Miranda" goes, Ethan ends up doing exactly that anyway. I think the writing was a bit off though when we are able to kill Miranda with just our arsenal, if Heisenberg knew that, or if it was better explained that she's still very killable, he'd have been a great ally.
In his eyes, "kill Miranda" is the end goal, using Rose is just a 'good plan' because the lords are constantly told how powerful she is and he doubts he could off Miranda without help. If only he knew that all it took was a dozen grenades and a handful of magnum shots to the face + C4, old mate would never think about hurting Rose over that...
So no, I don't think he's as wilfully evil as the rest, more like an anti-hero, the enemy of my enemy kinda deal.
I haven't beaten the game yet so im not gonna watch the video quite yet but I will say I've just beaten the doll house and got to moreus place, and so far im really liking it, I thought lady D was gonna be the big bad for the game but she was only the first boss but im enjoying exploring and coming back to the village to find new stuff, pretty good so far
I enjoy that your videos just seem like a genuine conversation not like a script read.
I'm totally with you in bringing back Wesker! The minute I saw an rpg and that man and he caught it with his bare hands was the moment I knew, he should never be allowed to die!
I think "Benevento" is Jake's new favorite word. lol
That’s not even the correct spelling.
@@BrandonWestfall I googled "Resident Evil Village House Benevento" and that's what I got.
Go sue Google if you don't like it. lol
Benevento is a city in Italy, and Beneviento is the dialectical pronunciation of it
Can we please not play as rose in the next one?! Put Leon on Rose protection detail 😂😂
LEOOOOOOON! HEEEEEEEEELLLP!
i dont think that rose needs any help from anyone xD
I loved the enemies in the factory, so cool looking. Capcom did a great job on this one. Can’t wait to see what’s next for the series
I didn't hate the factory as much as some... But, I though the level design and atmosphere and enemies were really cool if we were playing a Quake game and instead of calling these monsters Zombies or Molded or whatever and you called them The Strogg you wouldn't know the difference.
Kind of makes you really stop and think about the scene where Ethan walks in front of the toppled van in the snow at the beginning of the game. In which it was really emphasizing the way he walks... kind of like a zombie.
Jill, Chris, and Leon will always have a permanent place in my memories but games need to evolve and not be shackled with 20+ years of lore. Comics do it regularly why can't resident evil?
I believe ethan is in the end credit scene, after rose gets in the car and drives off the car stops then you see a figure in the distance. I think rose has the ability to bring him back in some shape since he was a mold ans shes supposed to be the next eveline.
Also i liked the part where you get a tank, my first reaction was a weapon to surpass metal gear.
You’re the man Jake! Absolutely love your videos. IT WAS WESKER ALL ALONG lmaooo
Last part was straight up Frankenstein's Army. Loved it .
"what if he climed out of the volcano" killed me
the fact that heisenberg know what happen in r5 is kinda scary to be honest
that means somehow someway he found out about it
Miranda was directly linked to Umbrella. I'm sure The Organization was keeping an eye on her. Everyone who was experimenting with BOW's knew about Wesker. It's not too out there for Sheva tp have mentioned what happened to someone in the BSAA at some point and word traveled from there.
I thought it was quite clear that Ethan was infected by the mold since the intro of RE7.. The whole family is, they are resilient, the Dad regenerate his whole head, they talked about the "gift".. i mean, i didn't know that Ethan WAS mold, but it was pretty obvious that he was infected by it since the beginning of RE7
If he wasn't infect at the beginning of 7, he certainly was when he was on the crashed ship trapped in the mold by Eve.
And if Ethan is a 'Mold Zombie' what does that make Mia and Zoe Baker? They where infected a lot longer and both them 'died' only to come back.
That's what I remember. It said that both he and Mia were infected.
It made a whole lot of sense during the first boss fight with Jack on the garage when he shot himself in the mouth. He wanted to show Ethan how amazing the gift was.
idk how u did it but u were insanely accurate with everything u talked about lol some of these things i didn't even think other people agreed with me on !
Imagine if there was a cutscene of Miranda’s flashback of her and Spencer’s relationship, and or if they both lost their daughter and turned to different strategies with bio weapons to deal with the loss
There was a letter on the computer in Miranda's lab. Spencer wanted to use the mutamycete to make the Progenitor virus and change the world, while Miranda only wanted to use it to revive her daughter.
I REALLY wish we could’ve seen that moment. The fact that it got so tied to the lore of the series made me very happy
House Benaviento was really scary. But it was the coolest part was using the Dualsense to track where the baby monster was.
Kinda pointless, it pops up in scripted places
the father story has met the end, buuuuuuttt.... the "mold" father story has just begun : \
Your the first person to talk about Heisenbergs voice, I loved his voice. it was different then the typical Troy baker, love Troy but it’s good hearing and seeing more people play and get roles.
This is one of the best Resident Evil Village review I've seen. You pointed out the actual flaws which make sense rather then pointing out stuff which doesn't even make sense like other reviewers.
One thing you missed to mention is Village's amazing graphics and monster varieties.
I dont know that last scene still makes me feel like its ethan....just seems very strange how no one is there walking on the road and then as soon as the car goes by there is a guy there walking. I don't know why else you would put someone there
Still thinking wesker is gonna come back and has something to do with the connections. It always bugged me how the rockets never directly hit him but always went right past. There’s also that weird plotline with his sister and Natalia that capcom seems to have forgotten about.
His head got taken off by the rockets if you look closely.
I love these quick little talk because Jake really captures that passion we all feel about these characters and fantastic experiences that others completely right off. Jake really makes me feel better about how jealous any gamer is of his job.
Loved your thoughts! Toss up between Lady D and Benevito
The way Heisenberg said "Rose" made me want to break my TV
The thing that would’ve made the ending way more impactful is if they showed ethans face for the first and last time right before he dies, like right after he says “goodbye Rosemary” they show him smile at Chris and Rose and then he pushed him and the mold appears.
Another great review I completely agree with I guess the dolls my grandma had a whole room that I would have to sleep in when I spent the night of dolls just staring down at me! Also yeah you're in this great village and then all of a sudden you're in a robot factory It felt like they didn't know how to end it they had one of the best settings ever in the village it didn't make sense that we went to a factory. Also it sounds like dude had a frog in his throat cadence is weird ect. Once again Jake says every single thing I would say and did say about the game I still really love it. If you saw the ending I guess the person someone got in there with photo mode that walks up to the car is Ethan so hopefully we get a trilogy. Finally after this one I like him as a character! Great video!
I accepted the spoilers just to see your video Jake (also because I know I'm not going to play it in these months sadly, maybe I forgot the spoiler, who knows)
I really like the way 7 and 8 took a step back from the main story of the franchise, and with the ending of 8 I really think that now the winters story is going to become a part of the larger universe. So I'm really happy with how they used the winters family, bringing them up from nobodys, to rose being a key player most likely.
exactly this, I think we will find out in 9 that she will be a huge part of the overall canon of the series.
Would've been cool if we saw Leon
I didn't mind the voice of Heisenberg. I think what threw me off at the factory section was it reminded me as if I was playing an updated version of Quake 4 rather than a Resident Evil game with all of the metal and mechanical monsters. This is what I would imagine the Strogg would be like in the next game.
I'm still quite new to resident evil since I started playing from re7 and have played both remakes and now village. I thought village was amazing. They seriously nailed the atmosphere of each area and it was just so good. The castle was my favourite and also benevientos house. That place was actually legitimately scary
I've been playing the series ever since the original in 1996, so let me say welcome to the family! lol And I agree with you. I'm not sure I can pick a favorite because they all mean something to me, but Village is definitely among the best.
