When Resident Evil 7 came out, it blew people away with its strong emphasis on horror,
2
focused narrative, and overall departure from what fans had come to expect.
3
This set a new precedent for the series and left people wondering how they were going to follow it up.
4
And when Resident Evil 8 finally came out, it became clear that they did not keep any of that.
5
Instead of leaning into survival horror, they just made it as weird as possible, adding in werewolves, hot vampires,
6
and a big tubby guy that follows you around all the time.
7
If you're looking for a live -action actor, hit me up.
8
Now, at first, I didn't really like this, but as I progressed through the game and let go of what I wanted it to be,
9
I started to appreciate it for what it truly is, which is a very weird, but very good
10
Resident Evil game.
11
The story picks up with our boy, Ethan Winters, three years after the Baker family incident of Resident Evil 7.
12
In the three years since then, Ethan and his wife Mia had a child together named Rose, a beautiful little baby girl.
13
It's a peaceful evening in the Winters household and Mia is making dinner while Ethan takes
14
Rose upstairs and puts her to sleep.
15
Now the amount of detail in this house is actually insane.
16
They did not have to go this hard, but they absolutely did.
17
They filled each room with realistic clutter, selling the idea that this house is actually lived in by two people raising a baby.
18
There are easter eggs to previous games and items that foreshadow what is to come.
19
An entire photo album filled with pictures and details of their lives since Rose was born.
20
And if you don't feel like, you know, actually playing the game, you can just kick back and watch some TV.
21
Whoa, look at that.
22
It's my other
23
Resident Evil video that I made on Resident Evil 7 that you can go and watch right after this one.
24
You could also go down and subscribe and like.
25
That would be great.
26
If we get like 30 ,000 likes, I'll make another
27
Resident Evil video or maybe not I don't know I'm gonna make whatever I want but you should still subscribe though.
28
This is one of those things that could be easily overlooked
29
but when you stop
30
and think about how much effort went into crafting the details in this house
31
that you're only in for about five minutes by the way
32
it really puts into perspective how much care was put into the game.
33
Another thing and this may not be intentional but I love that
34
Resident Evil 8 starts you in this warm homey kitchen juxtaposing the rotten bug infested kitchen of Resident Evil 7.
35
It makes it feel like these characters have finally achieved some semblance of normalcy.
36
Life is good.
37
Everything was going great until Chris Redfield, a recurring Resident Evil character, showed up and filled Ethan's wife Mia with 4 ,000 bullets.
38
Brother, I think she is dead.
39
And to top it all off, he kidnaps Baby Rose right out of her crib.
40
But hang on, I'm sure Chris has got a great explanation for all of this, and he's going to tell us right now.
41
Right, Chris?
42
Ethan, no. No?
43
What do you mean?
44
What do you mean by no?
45
Maybe I'm misunderstanding.
46
Is there just...
47
Now, when I first played this, I'm not gonna lie.
48
I thought it was the dumbest thing they could have done.
49
Seemed like Chris Redfield just got thrown in there for fan service,
50
and frankly, I haven't liked anything they've done with that character since Resident Evil 5, and even that one was a little questionable.
51
But really, it came down to the fact that I expected survival horror, and all of this was hilariously stupid.
52
My opinion looking back, though, has fully changed, and as we go through the game, you'll see why.
53
Ethan wakes up to the sound of a phone ringing and wreckage surrounding him.
54
After being knocked out by Chris and his team, Ethan was being transported somewhere, but didn't make it to that destination as the convoy crashed.
55
And in classic
56
Resident Evil fashion, the only way forward is through a dark, creepy forest.
57
It's clearly a path not commonly traveled as the trees are bundled closely together.
58
This, along with the intense fall off of your flashlight, makes the forest feel eerily claustrophobic.
59
And this scene may feel a little familiar to those of you who've played
60
Resident Evil 7 and 4, as both of those games start off pretty much the exact same way.
61
Just in 7, they got the Netflix goes to Mexico filter.
62
And the similarities do not stop there.
63
While yes, Resident Evil 8 is a direct continuation of the story from Resident Evil 7, it is also a spiritual successor to Resident Evil 4,
64
this being reflected mostly in the atmosphere and overall tone.
65
And the horror from 7 has been dialed back in favor of something more fantastical that doesn't take itself too seriously.
66
This doesn't mean it isn't scary, as a matter of fact,
67
when this game wants to be scary it is some of the best horror in the series.
68
The horror is just used sparingly, which again at first really left me disappointed,
69
but by the end I realized this was the best thing they could have done.
70
It made those moments that they did use horror get so much harder.
71
It's almost like
72
Resident Evil 4 and 7 had a baby and this is what we got.
73
But I'd say this doesn't become obvious until you squeeze through the cracks in the mountain and first lay your eyes...
74
on the village.
75
The developers wanted to make it feel like you were in this isolated, haunted village, and so they surrounded it with tall, overbearing mountains.
76
As much as I love the atmosphere in the village, I will say it's one of the more generic locations,
77
which kind of sucks that in a game called Village, the village is the least interesting part, but it kind of did that to themselves.
78
In Resident Evil 4, the game also starts in a village, but that one in Spain,
79
and you get there exactly the same way and do pretty much all the exact same things we're doing here.
80
It was such an iconic location in that game, and the intention here seems to just be rehashing that.
81
Someone's been beating this thing.
82
And I don't know, I just feel like this village is visually kind of flat.
83
A lot of the same colors, nothing really distinguishing between the different houses.
84
There's not a lot you can get from exploring other than just loot.
85
But I do think the village has some great visual storytelling, like this comically large bowl of eggs.
86
It clearly tells the story of someone who dropped a comically large bowl of eggs.
87
The village itself is completely wrecked.
88
It looks like someone got drunk and had a really good time on a tractor.
89
and also hates goats there's really only one house left
90
that looks lived in oil lamps still lit food left on the stove
91
and a bunch of goat skulls on the wall
92
now this has got to be our goat hater no no friendly friendly who are you who sent
93
you nobody there was an accident down
94
the road what's going
95
on oh no they're
96
coming who is what the hell was that
97
it turns out this guy doesn't hate goats at all what he hates is oh my god
98
that's a lot of dead bodies what he hates is werewolves this is what i'm talking about
99
when i say this is the weirdest resident evil game this franchise is known for doing some crazy shit
100
but it generally always comes back to that traditional zombie storyline or at least leans more into the traditional horror
101
But Resident Evil Village is a straight -up monster movie, and the werewolves are just the first taste of that.
102
Technically, they're called Lycans, originally conceptualized as a primitive kind of zombie, but over time became a wild wolfman creature.
103
It was kind of hard to wrap my head around this direction.
104
Werewolves just seemed like such a cheesy idea, and my immersion really took a hit around this point in the game.
105
It started to feel like a weird dream that Ethan was having, rather than a continuation of his story.
106
That being said, I do think the execution of the Lycans was done very well.
107
The designs were treated with such care that even though conceptually they were kind of corny, they were still pretty scary looking.
108
They also have the most design variety of any enemy in the franchise history.
109
Compare them to previous enemies in the series, and I might say these are the best of the grunt enemies.
110
They have such a vicious energy about them
111
and move in a supernatural way that makes fighting even just one of them very intense.
112
One thing I really liked that they added was the ability to barricade doors and hide from them rather than fighting.
113
Though locked in this little house, the lichens begin to surround the building, breaking down the barricades.
114
Hello.
115
If there are any survivors out there, come to my...
116
To Louina's house near the fields.
117
Near the fields?
118
Yeah, thanks for being specific.
119
Evading the lichens is the best way to deal with them, and there's a couple of ways the game gives you to do so.
120
One is obviously barricading the doors.
121
You also have these underground passages and the overall design of the village
122
that usually has another path that you can sneak through.
123
And also these sacks of flour that act as smoke bombs for some reason.
124
Yeah, it's goofy, but I promise it gets way weirder.
125
This is not the hill you want to die on.
126
Eventually though, they will find you.
127
And when they do, you'll notice that they're a lot smarter than the zombies this series is known for.
128
They'll climb roofs to get up to you, some carry torches and weapons, and they tend to move in packs.
129
So if you see one, odds are there's more around the corner.
130
This section here is just about surviving a certain amount of time as they come at you in hordes.
131
What an original idea.
132
It's really good.
133
It's just, uh, wow.
134
As long as you stay away from them, though, there is no problem at all.
135
Shit, he big.
136
That's a big boy.
137
This is the werewolf boss, Urias, once the proud leader of this village.
138
And now he's 10 foot tall and got a big -ass hammer.
139
It's crazy how life goes.
140
If you've ever played
141
Black Ops Zombies, then all those nights training on Kino are about to pay off.
142
You just kind of run in a circle until the cutscene shows up.
143
I don't think I can be an adventurer anymore.
144
The lichens have all coordinated and have you surrounded.
145
But just before they kill you, something calls them away.
146
I'm really not sure what.
147
I'm not sure.
148
I don't know what did it.
149
Something did it, though.
150
They ran away.
151
I beat the game.
152
I still don't know.
153
I don't know.
154
And in the distance, we see a mysterious hag slowly walking away.
155
The hag just vaguely talks about someone named Mother Miranda and then walks away ominously.
156
Not exactly the most helpful, but she does give us a clue in telling us that whoever
157
Mother Miranda is, that's who brought Rose here.
158
At this point, the village opens up a little more, allowing you to walk around, discover secrets, find key points to come back to later,
159
and save your game at the iconic typewriter.
160
It may not seem like much if you're not familiar with the series, but the typewriter is a staple for Resident Evil.
161
First introduced in the very first
162
Resident Evil game, and it's a huge part of what made that game so tense.
163
Walking into a save room and hearing that iconic save room theme unique to each game.
164
That moment of respite to save your game organize your items
165
and come up with a game plan is such a huge part of these games
166
i'm just really glad they realized this and brought it back
167
where's the item box have you seen it it's like a wooden crate
168
it should be around here somebody is playing a sick fucking joke on me.
169
Where is Item Box Resident Evil Apes?
170
Here's where Bisley goes berserk.
171
It's actually not that big of a deal.
172
I mean, yeah, I wish it had item boxes, but it's not like
173
Resident Evil Zero where I was dropping shit on the floor because I had nowhere to put it.
174
Rarely that I find myself running out of space in this game, and that's due to another feature that we're not ready for.
175
We'll talk about it later.
176
If we're dropping complaints about the game, though, the lack of an FOV slider is embarrassing.
177
Sometimes in my gameplay, you might see this little white dot.
178
That is not an editing mistake.
179
It is because I installed a mod to increase the FOV, and this is the flashlight.
180
I am not playing a game on less than a hundred FOV.
181
I'm a grown man for God's sake.
182
And with my increased field of vision I came across this little map reminding me of where the survivors were held up.
183
All I had to do was get there.
184
The way up is through a field of straw.
185
Posted throughout are rudimentary statues of goat bone.
186
Effigies meant to ward off evil.
187
This shit does not work.
188
And at the end of the path are the first normal people that we meet here.
189
A woman tending to her father who's been badly injured by the lichens.
190
If we do nothing for these people, they're sure to be eaten alive by lichens.
191
The only way to help them is to get them inside Louisa's house.
192
Louisa!
193
Open up!
194
It's me, Elena!
195
Stop shouting.
196
You'll draw the monsters!
197
The survivors are just a little bit suspicious of outsiders, but thankfully, Elena vouches for us and we're taken into safety.
198
From that entire village out there, these people, they're all that's left.
199
All that's left?
200
There is no one left!
201
The villagers talk a little bit about Mother Miranda
202
and it's super weird but it kind of paints a picture for what's going on here.
203
Seems like Mother Miranda is a religious figure.
204
You can find paintings and shrines all around the village of her.
205
She is pretty much their goddess and even though their goddess doesn't do anything about the werewolves killing them all,
206
they still see fit to pray to her.
207
mother Miranda
208
so glad we all knew the words
209
there the villagers like the village were designed to be stuck in time based on a mixture of gothic
210
and modern imagery outfits
211
and hair from the 1960s were also used as reference in designing
212
it's all very fitting for the setting I just wish
213
that their personalities were given as much thought as their clothes
214
they definitely have some character for the short time you interact with them but that's the problem.
215
They're on a screen for maybe 10 minutes.
216
Having actual survivors that the player cares about could have been a huge opportunity to provide depth to the village.
217
At one point this may have even been the plan considering
218
that in the trailers they show villagers just scattered around the village doing normal things.
219
But sadly none of that made it into the final game
220
and instead the father that we just rescued goes full team Jacob.
221
We rush his daughter Elena into the other room to save her.
222
Everyone else can suck it, I guess.
223
It almost makes it seem like Elena's going to be an important character.
224
Or a character at all.
225
But after we solve some puzzles together, she just calls it quits.
226
Decides she doesn't want to live anymore.
227
Here, I'll help you out.
228
Just take my hand.
229
Ethan, go.
230
What?
231
What are you talking about?
232
No, just get up here.
233
Save your daughter.
234
Wait, no, it's like four feet.
235
Just come up.
236
No, no, no. What is wrong with you?
237
Stupid!
238
Think!
239
Yeah, that was stupid.
240
Those people are stupid.
241
This is the lowest point in the game, which I would actually say is a good thing.
242
It happened pretty fast, and everything beyond it is kind of awesome, especially because we get to go into the freaking vampire castle.
243
Oh, check it out.
244
Castle has free Wi -Fi.
245
Not so fast!
246
Connecting to a public
247
Wi -Fi leaves you open to a security breach.
248
Anyone can set up a public
249
Wi -Fi and connecting to it will allow whoever set it up to collect your data
250
But connecting with NordVPN, the sponsor of this video, will give you the extra layer protection that you need
251
It'll also allow you to access things that may not be available where you live
252
So if say, Lady Dimitrescu had my favorite website blocked
253
or it just wasn't available here
254
I could just connect to one of the thousands of servers
255
across 60 plus countries Masking my connection as being from the country of the server
256
I connected to to be able to access it again
257
Take Netflix for example, they have a ton of content that's region locked.
258
You might live in a country where the show
259
Dexter isn't available, a tragedy easily fixed by using NordVPN to connect to North America,
260
where you can give in to the dark passenger and watch all eight glorious seasons.
261
Now you don't gotta watch the whole thing through clips on YouTube shorts.
262
Go to NordVPN .com slash WeasleyChannel for a huge discount on a two year plan, plus four additional bonus months.
263
It is risk -free with Nord's 30 -day money -back guarantee.

265
A drawbridge leads you into this dingy cave that slowly fills out with ornate stonework.
266
Just as you think you're about to go up and meet Dracula himself,
267
a somehow even cooler guy shows up well well didn't think anyone was left
268
you must be pretty tough huh who the fuck are you oh you're not local even better
269
why can't why can't
270
he magneto what's going why what the man dragging us is named heisenberg his His voice might be familiar
271
if you've played Baldur's Gate 3.
272
This is the guy who voices a star in.
273
And he is a star in this game.
274
Clip it up, clip it up.
275
He's currently dragging us to the trial of Ethan Winters.
276
The man is of no real use to anyone else, and my daughters do so love, entertaining for us.
277
Furthermore, I can assure you if you entrust the mortal to House Dimitrovsk, my daughters and I deliver to you to the finest.
278
Wait, Uglies, I want to see.
279
He's awake.
280
Mother, you shut the fuck up.
281
In the center is Mother Miranda, and around her, the people bickering about who gets to kill you are the four lords of the village.
282
A political alliance of noble families who control the mountainous region.
283
I ripped that straight off the wiki.
284
I didn't know how else to say it.
285
Like, word for word.
286
The four lords are Heisenberg, Lady Dimitrescu, Moreau, and the doll Angie.
287
Shut your damn hole!
288
And don't be a sore loser.
289
You'll find your food somewhere else.
290
Quiet now, child.
291
Adults are talking.
292
This little introduction for them all gives us a pretty good insight into each of their personalities.
293
They're pretty much all treated as religious figures in the village, with Mother Miranda sitting at the head.
294
And you can actually find this shrine in the village kind of visually depicting that.
295
The game after this point is structured in sections based around these four lords.
296
It's the same exact formula as Resident Evil 7, where they had distinct sections based around each of the Bakers.
297
Every section pushing the overall plot forward as much as it is a peek into the life of each antagonist.
298
In my Resident Evil 7 video, which just hit a million views,
299
thank you for that, I talked about how I thought each of the Bakers represented a different genre of horror movie.
300
Most notably, Jack Baker being the embodiment of the slasher film.
301
In Resident Evil 8, while less overt, does pretty much the same thing.
302
But instead of representing horror genres, each of the four lords represents different monster movies.
303
Zombies, the Wolfman, Dracula, Frankenstein, the Invisible Man, the Mummy, Creature from the Black Lagoon.
304
These creature features dominated the horror genre from the 1930s to the 50s.
305
All part of the shared universal horror movie universe.
306
Most of them shot in black and white, just making do with the technology of the time.
307
It was this genre of film that brought us the on -screen depiction of the zombie.
308
While some of the other creatures saw mainstream success,
309
I think it's pretty clear the zombies kind of surpassed all of that and became a genre of its own,
310
thus making shit like werewolves and Frankenstein seem weird in comparison.
311
I think it was a bold move for Resident Evil to pull from these other, less popular monsters for this game,
312
but it's a decision I actually love.
313
My real problem was that I went into this game expecting to enjoy it the same way I did
314
Resident Evil 7, when it is something completely different that embraces the wacky nature of the monsters.
315
Still taking them seriously and keeping a semi -consistent tone, but not shying away from the weird shit.
316
It's also not really presented in the same way as Resident Evil 7.
317
Once it's decided that Heisenberg is the one who gets to kill Ethan, we get a chance to run away.
318
Let's see what you want.
319
Ethan Winters.
320
The path forward is extremely narrow.
321
There's no thought that needs to go into what route you'll take, no puzzles to solve.
322
It is very much like a roller coaster ride.
323
Specifically this one at Disney Animal Kingdom, where there's a yeti and a mountain it's like almost exactly like
324
that but that one you get to go backwards
325
and it is really scary
326
this theme park attraction vibe is coded into the dna of resident evil 8 yes
327
there are moments where survival horror and puzzle solving become important
328
but the majority of this game's dna is built around being
329
a fast -paced adventure on rails as demonstrated here in this level it's something
330
that while researching for this game i noticed a lot of hardcore resident evil fans did not resonate with mostly
331
because this is completely different from what many would consider to be the identity of this franchise.
332
Methodical atmospheric puzzle games that require exploration and critical thinking skills to progress.
333
I can partly sympathize with that perspective because this is the exact opposite of that.
334
This is some brain -off goop that does not require thinking.
335
But while I can sympathize, I wildly disagree.
336
Expecting a game series, especially one as long -standing as Resident Evil,
337
to retain the same core gameplay for every single iteration is incredibly short -sighted.
338
And it would go against everything those games were about in the first place.
339
Resident Evil 1 is the game that built the survival horror genre.
340
It coined the term survival horror.
341
Pushing boundaries, trying new things is what made this series great in the first place.
342
Why now should they stop searching for something new, experimenting with ideas?
343
Just because something is a sequel does not inherently make it a continuation of the original work.
344
It may build off of it, but no matter what, a sequel will always be its own work.
345
A piece that deserves to be judged on its own merits, rather than exclusively held up in comparison.
346
I've been waiting for you, Mr. Winters.
347
How do you know my name?
348
Anyone who is anyone has heard of the likes of you.
349
A hero searching for his daughter.
350
though i must say that castle arouses suspicion yeah and so do you
351
i am
352
but a humble merchant here oh forgive my manners call me the duke like he said
353
this is the duke i didn't like him at first
354
but after seeing him a few times
355
i understand why he won streamer of the year the duke
356
acts as the shopkeeper of resident evil 8 a concept taken from Resident Evil 4, but stuff full of Big Macs.
357
He just kind of appears in various places around the map, selling you things like ammo and healing items.
358
Oh, and also upgrades to your inventory space that make it so big, you can hold pretty much everything.
359
This is what I was talking about.
360
He's one of my favorite characters from the game, for sure.
361
And that probably has a lot to do with how he's voiced.
362
Aaron LaPlante does a really good job of bringing this eerie yet warm vibe to the character
363
that makes every interaction with him fun.
364
Now, the Duke shows up just in time before the first section begins.
365
Like I said before, the game is broken up into four different sections for each of the lords,
366
and the first one doesn't truly begin until we enter the castle of Lady Dimitrescu.
367
Now this castle should tell you everything you need to know about what monster inspired Lady Dimitrescu.
368
bears.
369
It is my absolute favorite location design -wise in the entire game.

I wish more of the game took place in this castle.
371
I could have spent 10 hours here alone.
372
The carpets, the furniture, the walls, the candelabras, the metalwork.
373
It is all a love letter to gothic architecture.
374
It is so fucking cool.
375
It makes me want to start punching things.
376
Because of the game's linear nature, it's not as open as you would expect, which would have been cool to see.
377
But what it lacks in open -level design, it makes up for in.. atmosphere attention to detail
378
and vampire women who skewer you
379
and drag you around now this plays a fundamental role in making uh making
380
you making me feel things the three daughters drag us into the room with their mother lady dimitrescu mother
381
i bring you fresh prey you are so kind to me
382
now let's take a look at him well well ethan winters based on the monster Dracula.
383
Lady Dimitrescu is a bloodthirsty vampire living in her Eastern European castle.
384
Her design is pulled straight from the 1930s, and if you noticed, she big.
385
That's because she's also inspired by the Japanese legend of the eight -foot -tall spirit.
386
And the daughters themselves are also based on the wives of Dracula.
387
And they're all meant to represent the femme fatale archetype, or the hot girl horror.
388
Why is it so hard to wiggle my eyebrows?
389
Am I wiggling them?
390
Am I doing it right now?
391
beautiful women who use their charm to get you so wrapped around your finger that you'd pretty much let them kill you.
392
Can she do that to me?
393
These vampires chain Ethan up in the room and prepare to drain him of his blood.
394
And so naturally, he dismembers himself to get out of it.
395
And if you're wondering how he survives this, then you have clearly forgotten the Resident Evil item that that is just a bottle of heel juice.
396
Anytime Ethan gets hurt, he just pours that stuff on and keeps trucking.
397
The goal right now really is to find
398
Rose, and so that means exploring the castle.
399
Now, it's nothing like the other
400
Resident Evil games, but there are still some fairly straightforward puzzles to solve throughout the castle, and I actually like them a lot,
401
specifically the one where you use the game physics to light the torch.
402
They're simple, but you still have to think about it for at least half a second,
403
so it's engaging, but it still keeps up this rapid fire pace.
404
There is a part of me that wishes
405
Resident Evil 8 was a little more open -ended.
406
But really in this case, just because this castle is so cool, I really wanted to go around and explore,
407
find different things, but there just wasn't a lot to find.
408
The coolest thing here is the winery, which gives you some insight into what they actually do here, which is make some killer wine.
409
And scattered around the castle are different journals that will tell you the story of Lady Dimitrescu.
410
Her name is Alcina, and while her heritage traces back to one of the four founders of this village, she originally didn't even live here.
411
She was lured here by the cult leader
412
Mother Miranda and taken down to a crypt beneath the village cemetery and implanted surgically with a parasite called the Kado.
413
This caused her body to mutate, giving her power, causing her to grow inhumanly tall and making her practically immortal.
414
But the problem is she inherited a rare blood disease when she was born, one that even the parasite couldn't cure.
415
Though she lived forever, she would require regular supplies of human blood to stay healthy.
416
She then took ownership of the castle, as was her birthright, and began running the vineyard,
417
as well as conducting her own experiments on the Cadot parasite, specifically on three girls, who she then claimed as her own daughters.
418
You can see pinned to her chest are three roses, one for each daughter who has a rose tattooed on their forehead.
419
The four then lived here for the next 70 years, extracting the blood from maids and combining it with grapes to create sanguis virginis,
420
It's a traditional Dimitrescu family wine, okay, you know what, it tastes good, whatever.
421
While the upper part of the castle is well put together, the dungeon underneath is the exact opposite.
422
Hungry, feral vampires lumber through these tight spaces, forcing you into combat.
423
Not sure if I mentioned it before, but the combat for this game is actually pretty good.
424
There's not much to it, but the guns feel tight and good to use, the sound design is great,
425
and overall it is definitely an improvement over the Resident Evil 7 slow, sluggish gameplay.
426
Here, it's a lot faster, and in some cases, it's too fast, like in the case of switching weapons,
427
it almost looks like Ethan had three hands.
428
Your bullets cannot harm.
429
you stupid man thing the three daughters act as mini bosses within the castle
430
and their fights are pretty mindless in my opinion their mutations make them vulnerable to cold
431
and we're in a frozen mountain
432
so all you got to do is crack a window
433
and they start cracking the only really threatening one here is Lady Dimitrescu
434
and after you kill one of her daughters oh she gets real mad.
435
At this point you'll be hunted through the castle by Lady Dimitrescu while you try to find your way.
436
It's a feature that's become pretty common in the Resident Evil games where the big bad is constantly hunting you.
437
It works very well in Resident Evil 2, 3, and 7 but here I just find
438
Lady Dimitrescu is too slow
439
And too big to really do anything to you.
440
You got to be pushing at least 325.
441
It's hard to get up and moving at 325
442
She also has to crouch through doorways
443
So there's no opportunity for getting jump scared and you have ample opportunity to just run away in the main room
444
There are four statues with slots for masks to be placed
445
the rest of your time in the castle will be spent finding these masks and Killing the other daughters, which is fun for what it is,
446
but nothing too crazy
447
It doesn't get good until you find all the masks and open the door
448
It leads out to a coffin containing a knife that the knife that kills vampires I guess the fabled vampire killing knife.
449
I find this so funny I don't know if you've ever seen
450
Supernatural But they do this thing on that show where there's always a weapon
451
that kills the exact thing they need to kill like there's the angel knife
452
and then there's the kill everything gun
453
and then they have the the kill the specific most things spear after a certain point
454
that shit was hilarious something about finding the knife
455
that kills vampires just reminded me of that and got me chuckling
456
but it works lady dimitresce gets stabbed which doesn't kill her right away
457
but it does give us a chance thus starting the first true boss fight Blush!
458
Lady Dimitrescu turns into a large dragon, hearkening back to the original Dracula myths.
459
The name Dracula even coming from the Romanian word for dragon being drac.
460
Almost like a centaur, her bottom half takes the form of an entire dragon, while her top half remains as kind of like a rider.
461
Shooting her body does more damage, so aiming there is usually the play.
462
It's hard to make a boss fight like this really work, but making her a flying enemy
463
and giving her fairly varied attack patterns keeps the entire thing engaging
464
while also being an amazing set piece smashing through the castle stone unloading entire clips into her face.
465
It is fun and paced very well.
466
Curse you!
467
With Lady Dimitrescu dead, we find this jar and a pathway leading out.
468
The marketing for this game centered so heavily around this boss
469
and this castle that I was certain this was not the end, but this is really the last we see of Lady Dimitrescu.
470
I'm curious to see what you guys think about this in the comments.
471
For me, it's disappointing because I felt like she had so much more character potential, especially to be a foil to Ethan.
472
We're going around killing her daughters and she played a role in kidnapping ours.
473
It could have been moments where they spoke on a parental level, on a human level, and And even while being adversaries,
474
at least understood each other.
475
I also think it's just a missed opportunity to not have opened up
476
that beautiful castle and let us explore it for a little longer.
477
I'm all for a fast -paced game, but it almost feels like a disservice to the environment designers to have their hard work be nothing
478
but a blur in your peripheral as you scream past it.
479
There's not a dull moment in the entire section, but it did feel cut short, which ultimately just left me wanting more.
480
There you are.
481
I had a feeling you would pop up here.
482
Oh, what up, fat boy?
483
Castle was kind of a dead end.
484
Is that so?
485
I assume you've picked up something of value.
486
No, not really.
487
Just a jar.
488
Why, you have your daughter right in your own hands.
489
No, this is a jar.
490
I'm looking for a baby.
491
Take a closer look.
492
That flask seems to contain her hair.
493
Wait, wait, stop.
494
You're saying this is Rose?
495
Rose has been separated into four different pieces and contained within these jars.
496
Killing Dimitrescu got us the first piece.
497
And it's safe to assume the other lords have the rest.
498
Thank you.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
