There's something exceedingly depressing about Ethan not even being able to have a happy marriage after all that crap he went through for his wife. I guess it's so we won't care as much when she dies since they kept fighting, but still. How awful, poor Ethan really can't catch a break.
From the brief conversations we hear it sounds like Mia is actually relatively over it and is more worried that Ethan can't seem to get his head out of the past; unfortunately I think Ethan needed to be able to talk about it to get over his own PTSD but Mia kept shutting him down for her own reasons. I think their problems would have sorted themselves out eventually... well... assuming yanno.
I mean, he wanted to have a marriage with someone who was infected with a crazy virus/mold and tried to kill him. It's not like there weren't other women out there or something LMAOOOo
I swear, Ethan can't catch a break. His wife cut off his hand, was pursued by Jack Baker, witnessed Margueritte's hive for crotch, got annoyed by Lucas, Chris killed his wife, kidnapped his daughter, lost in Romania because of him and gets his left hand chopped for the second freaking time.
I love how the werewolves are literally hunting you, like they stalk you as soon as you enter the village and they first really pounce when you're in a small space and can't run away and then really hunt in open area when the pack is gathered, such a cool way to do it
Sometimes, you just have to assert dominance at the monsters, like that story about the South American dude who thought his house was haunted, so he started beating his meat whenever he felt that the ghosts were watching him.
I was expecting it to be kind of a running gag - Chris and Ethan start talking, Mia sits up, Chris shoots her, continues talking, she sits up again, he shoots her..
I feel like we all saw that and just KNOW she isn't dead. Homegirl took a shot to the shoulder and her only response was ??? Before gettin lit up, and even then she was quiet
@@doryfishie2 True, but it is pretty obvious. They don't just kill off an important character like that and have them not completely die immediately after being riddled with bullets with some kind of twist or reveal. And I haven't even gotten past Ethan going into castle Dimetrescu yet.
@@fockingreat1125 So true! Ethan is a metahuman or he sipping on what Mia was drinking lol. (I already know the story with Mia I just don't want to do spoilers).
Spoilers He died at the bakers plantation when jack knocked him out. The only thing keeping him alive is the fact that he is mold now which is what gives him regeneration.
@@planetaryray7119 That's not the problem. The problem is that he had MORE of an emotional reaction towards a woman he just met a few minutes ago than his own WIFE lmao.
Ethan and Mia enjoyed their lives getting married and stuff but they still need to be careful and stay hidden. So, after everything he went through, he always have the instinct that kicks in where he feels like when he met a normal human being, he has to protect them. He just met Elena, but he's already protecting her. Notice how he's always grateful when he see normal people since RE7 to RE8? For someone who have been through alot, he doesn't take things for granted. That includes human interaction. Or just simply meeting them. So I get it when he's protective even for strangers he just met. Everyone is dying on Ethan.. just like everyone is dying on Chris.
"This is either grape jelly or it's blood. I'm going to guess that it's blood." *Chris walks out eating a sandwich* "Sorry I made a mess out there, hope you didn't slip."
I think it's super interesting how quickly you get to have an interaction with mother Miranda in the meeting about what to do with Ethan. I was really expecting her to be some mysterious figure for the whole game until the big climax near the end. The interaction between everyone in that meeting was so fluid and interesting. I am loving the cast of characters, the little puppet corpse bride has my heart. I really hope we get a lot more of her. PS can we talk about how amazing that artwork was in the book at the start of the game, I would take a whole game or movie like that.
Assuming you've already seen all the Tim Burton animated films already, "James and the Giant Peach", "Mune", and "Jack and the Cuckoo-Clock Heart" might tickle your fancy as well. They're not quite the same art style, but there are some similarities in them.
Look, it’s unfortunate that Ethan keeps ending up in really shitty situations, but it’s at moments such as “A dead body?” that make me question the legitimacy of his survival…
@UC9_jZkwhz38jgCNe2ZFLSqw This part was revealed in re8 you dolt, that's why it's a spoiler. Before this, it's just assumed that he survived everything because he's the typical protagonist, as far as we knew he never died in re7.
I couldn't believe when i first found out this game takes place in Romania.. like ... no one EVER gives a shit about my country and it's so weird seeing romanian names and hearing the characters trying to speak the language. Trippy, yet it makes me feel...special/proud? Anyway, I loved the last game and i hope this one won't dissapoint me cause I've been waiting impatiently for it. Haha, hugs from Transylvania! ♥

Did Ethan just pound the window frame with the bloodied stump where his pinky used to be? Someone needs to animate that within doubling over out the window as he spouts expletives. Make it happen.
I was thinking that too. "Oh yeah, smack your half eaten hand with bones and everything else exposed as hard as you can against the wooden window frame."
I don't know if John caught this, but George Trevor, the author of the architecture book in the beginning, was the guy who designed the Spencer mansion
I know Chris Redfield wanted Ethan Winters to get with his sister, but killing his wife and kidnapping his daughter seems a bit of a stretch to continue the Redfield bloodline.
@@cdogthehedgehog6923 idk capcom could be playing that LONG game lol. The last RE game will be called Resident Evil: Reality and it's gonna be a real zombie apocalypse
Love this game and deciding to come back and watch John's playthrough of it for the first time years later now makes me smile even more having seen him talk about his own daughter so happily and so much, "don't listen to me, I'm a non-parent" but life comes at you fast, congratulations again, genuinely
I have to say, these "backwater Eastern European villagers" all speak perfect English...and in flawless American accents, too! At least in RE4, the villagers spoke Spanish and the English speaking characters had Spanish accents.
I mean...if we are talking about RE4, the Spanish wasn't Spain's Spanish. The accent and some of the expressions were clearly Latin American Spanish. So yeah, not accurate at all. I'm from Spain and the first time I played I couldn't stop smiling because of this "little" detail :'), good times. I think the devs said they didn't want language barriers for this game and I can understand that. I still love RE4 and RE8 despite their flaws.
Did you notice that Ethan punched the wall with the bitten off part of his hand? Shouldn't it be extremely painful? He was like: nothing hurts more than random girl dying in front of me, not even my wife's death or my own hand being chewed off can compare to this
Game looks amazing so far. Literally laughed out loud when you complained about the first drawer and then grudgingly accepted that there was stuff in the second, even if you couldn't pick it up. Already loving the playthrough! Thank you John!
"I'm a non parent don't listen to me" "Who knew having a baby would be this easy" all these things John saying in this series about having a baby aged pretty well, now that he has a child xD I'd like to see you re watch this if you ever have watching an old video as a future milestone in a charity stream lol
Capcom has something against hands, RE7 ethan loses fingers and a hand, then this game he loses half his hand immediately in the intro. Really psychological horror feels though cause he's basically reliving past experiences from the get-go.
John I was loyal like a wife waiting for her husband to return from war. Spoilers, spoilers everywhere, but I'm still standing and now, finally, I CAN ENJOY TALL VAMPIRE LADY.
Are you daft? The majority of veterans return to realize their wife has been having an affair. Bad analogy. Or maybe I'm thinking the majority of affairs happen to military veterans.
I mean this game so far isn't too far behind re7 in spook factor for me. The werewolf enemies are meh to me, they feel straight out of metro exodus but the other enemy encounters have been pretty great. I think the re7 setting felt more real therefore was scarier, for me at least
@@nickgarcia1292 really? I quite enjoyed the werewolves. They aren't hard but hard enough to teach you what you should expect later on. I love the barricaded doors that you can set up and the flower bags, it's actually viable to get in the house, lock your self up and just start shooting em one by one
My boyfriend and I were waiting for this video to come up. Can't imagine watching anyone else play this game. Thank you for being awesome at what you do.
So excited for this John! Your play through of 7 was one of my favorite series by you. Thank you for uploading this. Obligatory WELCOME TO THE FAMILY SON
Resident Evil 7 John: I want the grass roots experience, no dlc stuff (doesn't use free supply box from zoe) Resident Evil 8 John: Haha Samurai Edge go brrrrrrrrr
Man I'm so happy you're doing this on youtube John. I was in the stream last night watching DBD cause you're the only person I really enjoy watching for that game and I was worried when I first joined I might of missed out on some RE content but now I have no worries. Day 1 upload too is great because atleast I wont be tempted by everyone elses putting it up. I want the authentic John Wolfe experience on this one.
I've watched several people play the demos and this section now and still everytime Ethan says "I've heard that prayer before" and mentions the woman at the graveyard I'm deadass like when tf did she say that prayer ethan
The old woman said "in life and in death, we give glory" and at the end of the prayer the survivors say that line too so I think Ethan was just talking about that line in the prayer rather than the prayer as a whole.
First of all, thanks for the video and poor freaking Ethan. But most importantly, thanks for the "Chad" SNL skis reference XD - Ethan: Mia dead? lol "okay"
Why is my favourite shot of Ethan walking down the steps, John pans back up to see a fox and an owl (that’s somehow bigger than the fox) looking at you 😂. It’s the little things. Btw love johns commentary.
Mia reading that creepy fairytale to the child and getting upset by Ethan finding it weird was hilarious. Always love how you play through these games. Excited to continue the series through your eyes!
When John said, ''I love pressing W to climb over things.'', I jokingly said, ''Is this what counts for commentary now??'' and then he apologized and I havent laughed this hard all week. Thanks for the great content John
Hey John! Just here to say that you CAN die during the lycan siege, (I've seen people do it), so you didn't waste ammo trying to survive. You lasted long enough for the game to move on.
Wish John would read up on what happened with re7. Neo umbrella was a thing in re6. In re7 Chris redfield was helping blue umbrella (not to be compared to the evil red umbrella) with stop the mold in re7. Blue umbrella is comprised of former employees of red umbrella who wanted to redeem the umbrella name for helping people.
Your Ethan voice is so spot on. When you read the entry on the computer, I felt like if I closed my eyes I couldn’t be able to tell if it was you or Ethan speaking in the game
FINALLY! I can't even thank you enough John. The amount of spoilers I have desperately been trying to avoid was astronomical. For once I thought we're back in 2019 with Endgame.
"As long as there's only one of ya, if there's two, I don't know if I can handle that" *two monsters appear immediately* John's comedic timing remains undefeated
Awww, don't knock your parenting skills John - As soon as I watched you interact with the Baby in Yellow, I *knew* you'd make a GREAT dad! I mean... you only bounced the tyke off the doorways 6 or 7 times, after all. And babies just LOVE being placed in a 'Mobius Strip' like position to sleep.😏😁
I love how thorough you are, like in 20:21 with the... sleeping pigs LOL It's so refreshing to see someone actually savour the game and it's details instead of speedrunning it. I can't wait for episode 2! Thank you John! ❤
John I found your channel years ago watching your Re4 playthrough (back when your channel was still named "Harshly Critical) I am a big fan of the series and the moment I saw the gameplay of Re8 yesterday and I was thinking this game is absolutely a love child of Re4 and Re7 and I have just been waiting for you to upload the gameplay. You can only imagine how much hype I feel when I see your title! Cheers!
I love your playthroughs of games like this the most cause you take your time and carefully check everything, unlike others who speedrun and miss a lot of items and references
I really appreciate how you pause to admire the pretty parts, that's the one thing I don't enjoy in LPs, wanting to see the beautiful scenery or maps and instead seeing someone rush through it.
I love how thorough you are with every interactive Item. Ive watched a huge TH-camr who runs past so much that I gets me frustrated. Ill been looking forward to more!
I love how the one guy grabs you indoors and suddenly he throws you all the way outside. Like the game wants to do a certain thing and it wasn't expecting you to run indoors or something :p Either way, I'm super excited about the four houses. And the four animals out of the storybook seemingly represents them (Lady Dimitrescu is the bat, the puppeteer is the spider, the big one is the fish and the horse is Heisenberg).
Thank you, John! You are the ONLY YTer whose nailed the RE4 and RE7 references in this game. So sad no one made the obvious "Where's everyone going? Bingo?" ref.
Yay! Was looking forward to your playthrough. Appreciate that you take the time to look around and explore the surroundings. And humour is on point as always.

I don't mind if the game is not as good as RE 7, I am here for werewolves, vampires and Wolfe's commentary. This is going to be great!
What you mean? It got good reviews and many fans liked it?
I much more enjoyed the monsters here than RE7 tho.
@@joran_4338 I was responding to John's comment in the beginning, I don't think I said anything bad about RE 8.
I mean this game so far isn't too far behind re7 in spook factor for me. The werewolf enemies are meh to me, they feel straight out of metro exodus but the other enemy encounters have been pretty great.
I think the re7 setting felt more real therefore was scarier, for me at least
@@nickgarcia1292 really? I quite enjoyed the werewolves. They aren't hard but hard enough to teach you what you should expect later on. I love the barricaded doors that you can set up and the flower bags, it's actually viable to get in the house, lock your self up and just start shooting em one by one
John: her worse crime that she was being passive aggressive
Mia: literally chopped off her husband’s arm with a chainsaw and then tried to kill him
My boyfriend and I were waiting for this video to come up. Can't imagine watching anyone else play this game. Thank you for being awesome at what you do.
So excited for this John! Your play through of 7 was one of my favorite series by you. Thank you for uploading this. Obligatory WELCOME TO THE FAMILY SON
Resident Evil 7 John: I want the grass roots experience, no dlc stuff (doesn't use free supply box from zoe)
Resident Evil 8 John: Haha Samurai Edge go brrrrrrrrr
Jesus, got to love John... normal reactions to jumpscares. It's refreshing not seeing a grown man shrieking and overeacting to the slightest thing.
I’ve been getting so many let’s plays recommended to me, but I only watch John
Same
Yessir
Same, i only watch John because he's really into the details of the game and no unnecessary screaming when playing the game.
Yessireebob!
Same everyone else has 100k that I watch and I was like 'you know what I'm gonna support my fellow Texan John by getting his views up'
Man I'm so happy you're doing this on youtube John. I was in the stream last night watching DBD cause you're the only person I really enjoy watching for that game and I was worried when I first joined I might of missed out on some RE content but now I have no worries. Day 1 upload too is great because atleast I wont be tempted by everyone elses putting it up. I want the authentic John Wolfe experience on this one.
Just beat the game, basically if Re7 and Re4 has a baby. Fantastic game and I know you will love it John. Looking forward to watching you play.
The Ethan impersonation is... *cheff's kiss*
*Mia gets shot 54 times*
John: I think she’s dead lol
i like other youtubers playing this game but you, John, is my favorite when it comes to gameplay, especially if it's Resident Evil series.
I've watched several people play the demos and this section now and still everytime Ethan says "I've heard that prayer before" and mentions the woman at the graveyard I'm deadass like when tf did she say that prayer ethan
Right! She never said any of that ethan
The old woman said "in life and in death, we give glory" and at the end of the prayer the survivors say that line too so I think Ethan was just talking about that line in the prayer rather than the prayer as a whole.
First of all, thanks for the video and poor freaking Ethan. But most importantly, thanks for the "Chad" SNL skis reference XD - Ethan: Mia dead? lol "okay"
Why is my favourite shot of Ethan walking down the steps, John pans back up to see a fox and an owl (that’s somehow bigger than the fox) looking at you 😂. It’s the little things. Btw love johns commentary.
Mia reading that creepy fairytale to the child and getting upset by Ethan finding it weird was hilarious. Always love how you play through these games. Excited to continue the series through your eyes!
Glad I'm not the only one who thought Ethan was so casual about Mia's death. Like yeah wtf.
I don't know a lot about this game but she (spoilers) did come back from the dead in the last game. He knows she's a sturdy girl.
because she doesn’t die like ordinary humans
When John said, ''I love pressing W to climb over things.'', I jokingly said, ''Is this what counts for commentary now??'' and then he apologized and I havent laughed this hard all week.
Thanks for the great content John
Hey John! Just here to say that you CAN die during the lycan siege, (I've seen people do it), so you didn't waste ammo trying to survive. You lasted long enough for the game to move on.
Wish John would read up on what happened with re7. Neo umbrella was a thing in re6. In re7 Chris redfield was helping blue umbrella (not to be compared to the evil red umbrella) with stop the mold in re7. Blue umbrella is comprised of former employees of red umbrella who wanted to redeem the umbrella name for helping people.
"Where is everyone going? Bingo?" I can't hahaha. Great impersonation of Leon. 🤣
20:50 The water drop sound effect syncs perfectly with John’s blink, like a cartoon sound effect 😆
Ethan being a dad at the beginning was soooo cute. Poor Ethan!
Can we just give it up to our boy John? Doesn't exaggerate his reactions and genuinely looks like he's having fun!
Your Ethan voice is so spot on. When you read the entry on the computer, I felt like if I closed my eyes I couldn’t be able to tell if it was you or Ethan speaking in the game
FINALLY! I can't even thank you enough John. The amount of spoilers I have desperately been trying to avoid was astronomical. For once I thought we're back in 2019 with Endgame.
Ngl but even though we saw it in the demo, I was still sad when Luiza died. She seemed nice.
Was having a really bad night and got the notification for this.. suddenly my mood went ↗️
With seeing the medicines when you first get to a home on the table, then seeing the monkey, i am right behind ya on the red flags John
"As long as there's only one of ya, if there's two, I don't know if I can handle that"
*two monsters appear immediately*
John's comedic timing remains undefeated
i just realized Chris Redfield was wearing the same coat at the end of resident evil 6
So ... he never changed since?!!!! Oh no!
@@klaudiso how could he after his boyfr- i mean... “lieutenant” died.
I’m so excited to see John’s playthrough! Yay it’s finally here
Awww, don't knock your parenting skills John - As soon as I watched you interact with the Baby in Yellow, I *knew* you'd make a GREAT dad!
I mean... you only bounced the tyke off the doorways 6 or 7 times, after all. And babies just LOVE being placed in a 'Mobius Strip' like position to sleep.😏😁
God damn it, I woke up my sleeping fiance laughing at this comment 😂
@@AgarthanExecutioner I take no responsibility but I do take enjoyment in that ...even if it did get you in Dutch.😁
The couple is arguing and I'm too busy fawning over the baby. I caught myself actually making a few baby noises lol
Pewds: " can I dip the baby in the sauce"
@@thewholecircus2792 media: it’s official, pewdiepie’s a cannibal
And I was fawning over their house lol
It's an ACTUALLY cute looking baby, it's so fat. None of that pretty-doll looking crap most devs use lol.
@@ntp4003 I was doing that too, but the baby won my attention. I can't not, she was So Cute!
"Because she doesn't understand it, thank god"
John: Thank you Ethan.
Me: Thank you Et- John.
I love how thorough you are, like in 20:21 with the... sleeping pigs LOL It's so refreshing to see someone actually savour the game and it's details instead of speedrunning it. I can't wait for episode 2! Thank you John! ❤
I feel like something is wrong with Ethan too when Mia said she's not worried about Rose and yelled "you matter" and "we matter" Idk it's so weird.
Can't believe you already have the first video ready to go! So excited to watch thisss
John I found your channel years ago watching your Re4 playthrough (back when your channel was still named "Harshly Critical)
I am a big fan of the series and the moment I saw the gameplay of Re8 yesterday and I was thinking this game is absolutely a love child of Re4 and Re7 and I have just been waiting for you to upload the gameplay. You can only imagine how much hype I feel when I see your title! Cheers!
I love your playthroughs of games like this the most cause you take your time and carefully check everything, unlike others who speedrun and miss a lot of items and references
John vs. RE: Village - Where am I going?
John vs HQ Residential House - Hold my beer.
I really appreciate how you pause to admire the pretty parts, that's the one thing I don't enjoy in LPs, wanting to see the beautiful scenery or maps and instead seeing someone rush through it.
I've been waiting for John's play through!! So excited for his perspective
I love how thorough you are with every interactive Item. Ive watched a huge TH-camr who runs past so much that I gets me frustrated. Ill been looking forward to more!
I love how the one guy grabs you indoors and suddenly he throws you all the way outside. Like the game wants to do a certain thing and it wasn't expecting you to run indoors or something :p
Either way, I'm super excited about the four houses. And the four animals out of the storybook seemingly represents them (Lady Dimitrescu is the bat, the puppeteer is the spider, the big one is the fish and the horse is Heisenberg).
1:18:20 When the old granny laughs she shakes her staff, that also makes the skull laugh. Nice detail.
thats what i thought ^^
Finally I’ve seen other ppl play the game and was just waiting for John to post his video
The fact that John is so snappy and hilarious throughout his gameplays makes me so happy haha! Love watching him play these
Who else thinks John should do a replay of this now that he’s in Ethan’s shoes as a parent?
🙂👌
Thank you, John! You are the ONLY YTer whose nailed the RE4 and RE7 references in this game. So sad no one made the obvious "Where's everyone going? Bingo?" ref.
i just finished watching you replay alien isolation and this is right on time for my dinner, thank you sir John ❤️
Yay! Was looking forward to your playthrough. Appreciate that you take the time to look around and explore the surroundings.
And humour is on point as always.
