@wiiware I never said it wasn't I just said I didn't like the VR portion (I really like RE7)... Also citing Metacritic is pretty weak, imo. For comparison Resident Evil 6, which is considered to be absolutely terrible by a lot of Resident Evil fans, has a 74. I like to form my own opinions, but that's just me. You do you. xD

@Totaldude911 And that is a great opinion to have! Because it's yours and it holds true to what you think. I liked Resident Evil 7 a lot, but I didn't get it on release. My friend kept pestering me and pestering me to get because I got Yakuza 0 and KH 2.8 instead. He was really hyping it up and he told me that VR was the definitive way to play it (based on what he heard, he doesn't have a VR headset). I don't scare easily and I am a little prone to being motion sick (I can only play for about an hour and half without taking the headset off). I wish I was able to interact with the house and the props inside it a lot more, and I wish the combat felt more satisfying in VR (I thought it was weak without the headset on). I ended up just taking it off and doing without it.

I think a lot of it is just me. Horror games feel very boring to me. It's incredibly hard for me to care or be absorbed by atmosphere in games. It does very little for me. I prefer character driven horror where I can draw parallels between myself and what I'm experiencing through a character's eyes. That stark realization that the character you're playing, the person who grows ever darker and twisted, isn't really do much different than yourself. It makes your heart sink.

Those Heart of Darkness moments, thoughts that keep you up at night, moments that make you want to change who you are as human being. It's why I love the Last of Us.

That's why RE7 VR dissapointed me. I wanted to feel something I otherwise wouldn't be able to in the real world. But the character in which you experience the world was too one dimensional for me to make a connection to. That's the kind of VR experience I want, I want to be inside the skin of an avatar that feels.

I hope that makes sense.
