3:59:22 This is a super small thing, but the way Chris shoves Ethan has got to be the most realistic depiction of being pushed out the way of danger I’ve seen in a video game. You can see Chris approaching Ethan as he tries to get his point across quickly, looks back, yells at Ethan to look out, looking him directly in the eyes, turning his head for a split second to judge the distance between him and Moreau before grabbing Ethan by the shoulders and pushing him, scrambling to get out of the way himself. Major props to the mo-cap actors, it shines through in this game like nothing else.
Yeah am getting contradicting feelings with Chris, I always thought he was a goody two shoes, maybe not as much as Leon, but he shoots Mia and treats Ethan like an asshole in the beginning yet tries to saves him here... Am sure it will be resolved at the end.. but makes me feel a bit confused..
That's like PT levels of scary. The red light, the dead baby, the haunting atmosphere, the claustrophobic hallways... Capcom did a great job with that scene!
And when you are fighting her, the way the lighting is in the living room with all the dolls twitching. So good. Fuck the ending though. I will never forgive Capcom, unless they undo it.
Bro I swear, when I came in, I was scared of the dolls. After the fetus, I was just pissed with dolls. NOTHING could be scarier than THAT. I was speed running that last section with Angie just to get the fuck out of that place
Literally what happened to me. "Oh no, it's a fucking doll house, this is gonna be the worst for me!" After fetus monster: "I TAKE IT BACK, I TAKE IT BACK, I TAKE IT BACK, I TAKE IT BACK, I TAKE IT BACK, I TAKE IT BAAAAAACK!!!!"
It's kind of nuts how much it lessened the impact of the dolls IMMEDIATELY in that section. Like, escaping the fetus basement is like you were a survivor of the Titanic, and then the dolls become the equivalent of water leaking into your shoes from a puddle by comparison.
Capcom made an incredible Silent Hill section in their rival horror franchise while Konami leaves it for dead. Let that sink in. Edit: Eidlones is entitled to their own opinion...even if it is wrong.
I have to say Max you went unafraid into the dark, then you looked at the child with curiosity and amazement ,then your fear finally kicked in after the crying lunge. You realizing how terrifying it is was damn good entertainment.
Too bad that P.T. wasn't left for dead, it wasn't a demo, it wasn't a game.....Im so sick of people farting on about P.T. like it was something it was literally nothing more than a PLAYABLE TEASER, it was an interactive means for delivering the teaser trailer for Silent Hills. It had already been confirmed that the actual game was NOT going to be anything like the interactive teaser trailer
@@lutherheggs451 Okay? PT is still one of the scariest most haunting things to come out in the past 10 years. Does it matter what form of media it is? Who cares if it’s a trailer, those 30 minutes are scarier than whole games
That thing is truly the stuff of nightmares. Reminds me of the giant ones from Drakengard, but those things are debatably even worse (thanks largely in part to the limitations of the old consoles lol)
I already have a legitimate fear of dolls and mannequins, and then they go and throw this thing at us. The entire Beneviento House was an unbelievable nope for me.
They didn't cancel P.T. It wasn't a game, it wasn't a demo. It was an interactive teaser trailer for Silent Hills, its not what the game was going to be they confirmed that and literally P.T. stood for PLAYABLE TEASER(trailer)
I like how literally no one is questioning on why there is a massive fetus within the Beneviento house… The baby is a giant doll, similar to the Mia doll. The reason for why it looks so real is because Donna Beneviento has the ability to secret a hallucinogenic pheromone. That is why we saw Mia when walking to the Beneviento house. It’s also why Angie looks like she’s floating, when in reality it is Donna doing all the work.
The Beneviento house section was terrifying still haunts me now. That fetus monster was so scary and surprisingly I never expected an RE Game to get so dark and terrifying.
Fun fact about the house section, they were going to go a step even further beyond. The mia doll was actually supposed to be her "actual" corpse with all the stuff we do, to a actual body. But they had to pull to the doll because well...obvious reasons. Even with that in mind this was one of the best crafted spooks not only in resident evil but horror games in general (outside of the indi scene of course). So well done...but also screw that section because I needed a new change of pants and a therapist.
We usually associate raw terror with screaming and the like. Sometimes, that's true. Other times... it's stunned silence. Max captured both perfectly. His reactions to this segment are some of my favorites.
@@mrheart8219 Yes, and is worst because you got 2 fucking baby boss battle, the first one is a creepy ass giant demon baby and the other is a zombie version of the first one but now he's inside a horrible rusty armor and also has a fucking chainsaw, so yeah...
I want to do a second playthrough of the game but I'm still gathering strength to do that again, and I know I'm easily going to get past it but I still can't do it
I have a strong feeling this segment was the reason. Capcom game testers tried this in VR, majority got hella traumatized after this segment, half couldnt even finish it. Capcom game tester: “NOPE, cancel the VR feature.” Capcom devs: “wait why?0 Testers: “you want sells right? Or do you want a law suit? Add in the feature after we accomplish our sells goal”
I think its because cross generation game and ps4 on vr cant handle it. The base ps4 can handle it but not in vr. I believe they cant pull it on the ps5
I know the more action loving people felt underwhelmed with Donna's sequence, but the more I look back to it, the more it grows on me. She was such a unique and interesting take in this entire game, and probably franchise.
the doll house was easily the best part of the game for me so far. so damn good and the suspense, tension, and sense of helplessness i got from made it so creepy. it was over rather quickly BUT it felt forever because of how creepy it was
I have a suspicion that the devs actually intended to give him a cutscene of him cooking, but that would have looked way too goofy, hence it was only audio only.
I was at least expecting a model of the food dish to appear on screen when the audio was done. Monster Hunter World and Final Fantasy XV both did great with making virtual food look delicious.
The game on Hardcore adjusts itself pretty nicely once you survive the lycan horde at the intro, I also experienced 5-8 deaths at that segment and felt the combat was not satisfying because of 1) how fast the lycans moved and 2) how they didn’t flinch despite taking 15~ bullets to take down. After that, the zombies with medieval weapons in the castle felt great to fight, which made the gameplay experience much better. A few hours later, the lycans became fun enemies to encounter too, in your return to the village with one or two firepower upgrades for your weapons. The zombies with medieval weapons are clearly the lower tier enemies, while lycans are a tier above, so I think Capcom wanted us to truly feel hopeless then, but they should have realized many would feel frustrated by the constant deaths. I almost did and I have a tolerance for multiple deaths in games, it almost made me restart on Standard, but I’m glad I didn’t. PS: the objective becomes “survive the attack” after you activate the lycan horde, so they do warn you that you shouldn’t try to kill everything.
I love how Max gripes about the opening section, comes up with the answer as to why it's so wonky, and then proceeds to misconstrue his own point, although I understand why. RE4's opening sequence worked smoothly because we knew Leon was an ultra-competent shootbang bro; knowing that, we shootbang everything till we're done. Problem solved. Now what was Ethan's defining trait? He's a *really* squishy normal dude. He's not an ultra-competent anything, and was even less so at that point because he didn't have much in terms of weapons, ammo, resources, or his left hand. So really, standing your ground and fighting wasn't a rational response, ESPECIALLY in Hardcore mode. Thus, with everything you knew about that situation, and with the extremely overwhelming odds stacked against you, the actual rational response would be to simply run and survive. Which was, in fact, the solution. But I guess we're all so conditioned to being ultra-shootbang bros that we never think to simply run away: instead, our decision-making follows the immortal words of Master Chief: "We'll shoot our way out; you know, try something a little different." I mean, if you're playing on Hardcore for your first run, you're probably quite confident in your ability to address any FPS situation with brute force... which unfortunately isn't always the right answer for a survival horror game, something "almost everyone" seemed to forget that they were playing. The whole point of that opening sequence was to remind you how incredibly helpless you were, how dire your situation was, and how shitty Ethan was as a "hero." He wasn't a hero. He was a normal guy who bled REALLY easy (I mean he frickin' cut himself on barbed wire). That makes the initial gameplay sequences feel fraught and terrifying, as it should. But if you come in full of piss and vinegar, expecting to shootbang your way to victory and thereby miss the whole point, it's understandable that it feels annoying.
Whats awesome is that the entire game has hints like that sprinkled throughout the whole story that point to the ending. Like what lady d says whe she bites ethan. Even more clearly so if you play thru the game several times. Reminded me of shutter island.
I was totally about to google the credits for RE8 when Max first started talking about being Heisenberg...then he admitted it was untrue. You got me, Max.
I honestly think House Beneviento might actually be the best part of any Resident Evil game for just pure, unfiltered horror. The puzzles, the atmosphere of the doll workshop, the PT levels of terror with the baby, and the Fatal Frame levels of uneasiness and tension with the dolls and the music. Seriously mind-blowing. I'd love an entire horror game just like that sequence.
You know, I like how Ethanhas progressed. With his military training he's able to flip a guy choke holding him, but since he's not trained to the same caliber as Chris's men, the special operations guy si able to regain control shortly after. nice touch.
This is the reaction I was waiting to see. The entire atmosphere, the music and everything was an absolute nightmare I would probably 💩 with a VR headset on.
I got to the doll basement earlier today and had to put the game down for the day because my anxiety was spiking. After watching that part here i feel a lot more prepared to go back and push through it. Thanks Max!
If max really loved this segment he is gonna absolutely adore Little Nightmares 2. That Hospital mannequin section is one of my absolute favorite segments ever
I know this was a year ago but Max not putting the fish INTO the dining thing and instead taking up inventory space in his attache case urks me to no end. Tip for everyone else, you don't need the exact amount of ingredients, you can put them in reserve for later by giving them to The Duke instead of taking up your inventory space.
Yeah he does a ton of stupid stuff like that, like back in re2 remake asking the chat what the combo was on a note for a safe. It’s in your files bruh lol
Legit always enjoy Max's streams. Mainly due to him always having the exact same reactions that I have to stuff like that weird melted baby thing that I have. The guy seems really down to earth and a legit good dude. 10/10 will always support the man.
I like to label areas in this game as specific parts of resident evil distilled into different areas, the castle is the regal area, and the doll house is 100% the creepy area.
@@DreadGroove I liked the setting but it was too long, the bad guys were bullet sponges, it barely gave supplies to work with, and was just all around just bleh to me.
@@artoriapendragon8416 I disagree. I appreciated that the factory was longer after how short parts 2 and 3 were. If the factory was shorter then the whole game would have been even shorter than it already is. The enemies in the factory aren't really bullet sponges either, you just have to hit their weak spots.
Kinda makes sense plot wise. The game starts with her being angry miranda gave ethan to heisenberg giving her a reason to try and one up him. Heisenberg didnt want to kill ethan anyway at that point. Moreau and donna didnt care either way
@@mobious01 to be fair there is plenty of times we all miss obvious stuff in games like this and have that “I’m such an idiot” moment... I just found it funny
Baby room might be my top RE moment all time and I've played em all from the beginning. Big ol smile on my face when I played it and watching you experience it
2:33:03 I’ve been playing RE8 for the first time and it’s in VR. Last night I got to House Beneviento…. It was absolutely terrifying, I also gave up before I even really started the mannequin puzzle 😭😭 So yes, I can confirm it is the scariest most intense unease and dread ever… I cried while hiding in a locker 😭😭💀
3:49:43 That's exactly what happened to me when I tried fishing a few years back. Having to pull the hook off with the eye of the fish basically traumatized me and I haven't fished since.

Also Ethan:Let me Taunt the Fish lord
The baby fetus is definitely one of the scariest moments in survival horror so far.
Max’s reaction when that thing laughed… amazing.
The part with the dolls after the baby gave me a lot of vibes of The original gameplay from RE4 before it took the change it did on release
When I played this part my girlfriend saw me scream like a biiiiiiiiiiih for the first time. I had to clap after. It was absolutely brillant.
Binging With Babish should do those Recipes from The Duke's Kitchen!
Just ask a Romanian cook lol.
The game on Hardcore adjusts itself pretty nicely once you survive the lycan horde at the intro, I also experienced 5-8 deaths at that segment and felt the combat was not satisfying because of 1) how fast the lycans moved and 2) how they didn’t flinch despite taking 15~ bullets to take down. After that, the zombies with medieval weapons in the castle felt great to fight, which made the gameplay experience much better. A few hours later, the lycans became fun enemies to encounter too, in your return to the village with one or two firepower upgrades for your weapons. The zombies with medieval weapons are clearly the lower tier enemies, while lycans are a tier above, so I think Capcom wanted us to truly feel hopeless then, but they should have realized many would feel frustrated by the constant deaths. I almost did and I have a tolerance for multiple deaths in games, it almost made me restart on Standard, but I’m glad I didn’t.
PS: the objective becomes “survive the attack” after you activate the lycan horde, so they do warn you that you shouldn’t try to kill everything.
"Isn't my baby so cute?"
The baby:
I love how Max gripes about the opening section, comes up with the answer as to why it's so wonky, and then proceeds to misconstrue his own point, although I understand why.
RE4's opening sequence worked smoothly because we knew Leon was an ultra-competent shootbang bro; knowing that, we shootbang everything till we're done. Problem solved.
Now what was Ethan's defining trait? He's a *really* squishy normal dude. He's not an ultra-competent anything, and was even less so at that point because he didn't have much in terms of weapons, ammo, resources, or his left hand. So really, standing your ground and fighting wasn't a rational response, ESPECIALLY in Hardcore mode. Thus, with everything you knew about that situation, and with the extremely overwhelming odds stacked against you, the actual rational response would be to simply run and survive. Which was, in fact, the solution.
But I guess we're all so conditioned to being ultra-shootbang bros that we never think to simply run away: instead, our decision-making follows the immortal words of Master Chief: "We'll shoot our way out; you know, try something a little different." I mean, if you're playing on Hardcore for your first run, you're probably quite confident in your ability to address any FPS situation with brute force... which unfortunately isn't always the right answer for a survival horror game, something "almost everyone" seemed to forget that they were playing.
The whole point of that opening sequence was to remind you how incredibly helpless you were, how dire your situation was, and how shitty Ethan was as a "hero." He wasn't a hero. He was a normal guy who bled REALLY easy (I mean he frickin' cut himself on barbed wire). That makes the initial gameplay sequences feel fraught and terrifying, as it should. But if you come in full of piss and vinegar, expecting to shootbang your way to victory and thereby miss the whole point, it's understandable that it feels annoying.
The demon baby part legit gave me a fright. It's been awhile since I've been creeped out.
1:21:11 Probably one of the funniest moments of the whole stream. Can't seem to kill the pig with anything... so let's blow it up!
2:31:30 if you want to see “LETS GO” reaction.
2:31:32 that reaction was priceless
4:25 “How can a man be almost dead” after finishing the game this quote hits different.
Whats awesome is that the entire game has hints like that sprinkled throughout the whole story that point to the ending. Like what lady d says whe she bites ethan. Even more clearly so if you play thru the game several times. Reminded me of shutter island.
I was totally about to google the credits for RE8 when Max first started talking about being Heisenberg...then he admitted it was untrue. You got me, Max.
2:39:36 I like to think of that as the satisfying sound of the demon Baby's body being crushed by the elevator shaft
I honestly think House Beneviento might actually be the best part of any Resident Evil game for just pure, unfiltered horror. The puzzles, the atmosphere of the doll workshop, the PT levels of terror with the baby, and the Fatal Frame levels of uneasiness and tension with the dolls and the music. Seriously mind-blowing. I'd love an entire horror game just like that sequence.
That one moment when a fight with a pig looks more dangerous than a battle with Dimitrescu final form
You know, I like how Ethanhas progressed. With his military training he's able to flip a guy choke holding him, but since he's not trained to the same caliber as Chris's men, the special operations guy si able to regain control shortly after. nice touch.
This is the reaction I was waiting to see. The entire atmosphere, the music and everything was an absolute nightmare I would probably 💩 with a VR headset on.
I got to the doll basement earlier today and had to put the game down for the day because my anxiety was spiking. After watching that part here i feel a lot more prepared to go back and push through it. Thanks Max!
Did you pass it lol
Grow a pair. Anxiety is a tool. Use it.
@@shintenkai1648 Every individual is unique in their own way. Learn to respect that.
@@lovehatesmisery but still grow a pair
If max really loved this segment he is gonna absolutely adore Little Nightmares 2. That Hospital mannequin section is one of my absolute favorite segments ever
You say that like he's going to play it. Did he say something about playing it on stream?
I know this was a year ago but Max not putting the fish INTO the dining thing and instead taking up inventory space in his attache case urks me to no end. Tip for everyone else, you don't need the exact amount of ingredients, you can put them in reserve for later by giving them to The Duke instead of taking up your inventory space.
Yeah he does a ton of stupid stuff like that, like back in re2 remake asking the chat what the combo was on a note for a safe. It’s in your files bruh lol
also carrying 2 pistols and 2 shotguns burns my ass lol! his inventory management is thee worst i've ever seen and he does it every game!
The baby monster chase was some silent hill shit!
Max: *Runs from creepy crying baby.*
Ripley: *Cries*
Max: AAAAAAAAAAA-
Max: "Who would do such a strange and specific thing?"
Capcom: "CAPCOM!"
Legit always enjoy Max's streams. Mainly due to him always having the exact same reactions that I have to stuff like that weird melted baby thing that I have. The guy seems really down to earth and a legit good dude. 10/10 will always support the man.
That window scare with the safe code is priceless. Scared me when I played through it too.
Started playing "It's a Small World" at half speed in the background when Max got to the second area, fit pretty well
I've been combing TH-cam for every content creator's reaction to _that part_ of the doll house section. It's so good.
I understand the code “07, 04, 08.” It’s the game titles that are made into village!
The character arc of this game is Max increasingly getting better at hunting and fishing.
I like to label areas in this game as specific parts of resident evil distilled into different areas, the castle is the regal area, and the doll house is 100% the creepy area.
I wonder why max didn't like the castle area so much. I really enjoyed that whole section personally.
I liked the castle but the factory was miserable.
@@artoriapendragon8416 yeah the factory wasn't great. I liked Heisenberg as a villain but y'know, a factory.
@@DreadGroove I liked the setting but it was too long, the bad guys were bullet sponges, it barely gave supplies to work with, and was just all around just bleh to me.
@@artoriapendragon8416 I disagree. I appreciated that the factory was longer after how short parts 2 and 3 were. If the factory was shorter then the whole game would have been even shorter than it already is. The enemies in the factory aren't really bullet sponges either, you just have to hit their weak spots.
Kinda sad that lady D is the 1st one to died out of 4 lords
Kinda makes sense plot wise. The game starts with her being angry miranda gave ethan to heisenberg giving her a reason to try and one up him. Heisenberg didnt want to kill ethan anyway at that point. Moreau and donna didnt care either way
Max: puzzles in castle are easy
Also Max: completely baffled by what a window is
He isn’t the brightest
@@mobious01 to be fair there is plenty of times we all miss obvious stuff in games like this and have that “I’m such an idiot” moment... I just found it funny
Baby room might be my top RE moment all time and I've played em all from the beginning. Big ol smile on my face when I played it and watching you experience it
Just like that Ripley became a only child.
I haven’t finished yet but the doll house was easily the creepiest part in the game so far. No weapons, no enemies, just pure atmosphere.
Capcom really liked to show off the breakable environments capabilities of the RE Engine in this game. Hope we get more of that in the next DMC
2:33:03 I’ve been playing RE8 for the first time and it’s in VR. Last night I got to House Beneviento…. It was absolutely terrifying, I also gave up before I even really started the mannequin puzzle 😭😭 So yes, I can confirm it is the scariest most intense unease and dread ever… I cried while hiding in a locker 😭😭💀
That Repukken sneeze at 34:35 had me crying laughing lol
3:49:43 That's exactly what happened to me when I tried fishing a few years back. Having to pull the hook off with the eye of the fish basically traumatized me and I haven't fished since.
Had to pause and take a lap TWICE cause of the god damn baby
SAME 🤣
