When Resident Evil 7 came out, it blew people away with its strong emphasis on horror,

focused narrative, and overall departure from what fans had come to expect.

This set a new precedent for the series and left people wondering how they were going to follow it up.

And when Resident Evil 8 finally came out, it became clear that they did not keep any of that.

Instead of leaning into survival horror, they just made it as weird as possible, adding in werewolves, hot vampires,

and a big tubby guy that follows you around all the time.

If you're looking for a live -action actor, hit me up.

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,

I started to appreciate it for what it truly is, which is a very weird, but very good

Resident Evil game.

The story picks up with our boy, Ethan Winters, three years after the Baker family incident of Resident Evil 7.

In the three years since then, Ethan and his wife Mia had a child together named Rose, a beautiful little baby girl.

It's a peaceful evening in the Winters household and Mia is making dinner while Ethan takes

Rose upstairs and puts her to sleep.

Now the amount of detail in this house is actually insane.

They did not have to go this hard, but they absolutely did.

They filled each room with realistic clutter, selling the idea that this house is actually lived in by two people raising a baby.

There are easter eggs to previous games and items that foreshadow what is to come.

An entire photo album filled with pictures and details of their lives since Rose was born.

And if you don't feel like, you know, actually playing the game, you can just kick back and watch some TV.

Whoa, look at that.

It's my other

Resident Evil video that I made on Resident Evil 7 that you can go and watch right after this one.

You could also go down and subscribe and like.

That would be great.

If we get like 30 ,000 likes, I'll make another

Resident Evil video or maybe not I don't know I'm gonna make whatever I want but you should still subscribe though.

This is one of those things that could be easily overlooked

but when you stop

and think about how much effort went into crafting the details in this house

that you're only in for about five minutes by the way

it really puts into perspective how much care was put into the game.

Another thing and this may not be intentional but I love that

Resident Evil 8 starts you in this warm homey kitchen juxtaposing the rotten bug infested kitchen of Resident Evil 7.

It makes it feel like these characters have finally achieved some semblance of normalcy.

Life is good.

Everything was going great until Chris Redfield, a recurring Resident Evil character, showed up and filled Ethan's wife Mia with 4 ,000 bullets.

Brother, I think she is dead.

And to top it all off, he kidnaps Baby Rose right out of her crib.

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.

Right, Chris?

Ethan, no. No?

What do you mean?

What do you mean by no?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding.

Is there just...

Now, when I first played this, I'm not gonna lie.

I thought it was the dumbest thing they could have done.

Seemed like Chris Redfield just got thrown in there for fan service,

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.

But really, it came down to the fact that I expected survival horror, and all of this was hilariously stupid.

My opinion looking back, though, has fully changed, and as we go through the game, you'll see why.

Ethan wakes up to the sound of a phone ringing and wreckage surrounding him.

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.

And in classic

Resident Evil fashion, the only way forward is through a dark, creepy forest.

It's clearly a path not commonly traveled as the trees are bundled closely together.

This, along with the intense fall off of your flashlight, makes the forest feel eerily claustrophobic.

And this scene may feel a little familiar to those of you who've played

Resident Evil 7 and 4, as both of those games start off pretty much the exact same way.

Just in 7, they got the Netflix goes to Mexico filter.

And the similarities do not stop there.

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,

this being reflected mostly in the atmosphere and overall tone.

And the horror from 7 has been dialed back in favor of something more fantastical that doesn't take itself too seriously.

This doesn't mean it isn't scary, as a matter of fact,

when this game wants to be scary it is some of the best horror in the series.

The horror is just used sparingly, which again at first really left me disappointed,

but by the end I realized this was the best thing they could have done.

It made those moments that they did use horror get so much harder.

It's almost like

Resident Evil 4 and 7 had a baby and this is what we got.

But I'd say this doesn't become obvious until you squeeze through the cracks in the mountain and first lay your eyes...

on the village.

The developers wanted to make it feel like you were in this isolated, haunted village, and so they surrounded it with tall, overbearing mountains.

As much as I love the atmosphere in the village, I will say it's one of the more generic locations,

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.

In Resident Evil 4, the game also starts in a village, but that one in Spain,

and you get there exactly the same way and do pretty much all the exact same things we're doing here.

It was such an iconic location in that game, and the intention here seems to just be rehashing that.

Someone's been beating this thing.

And I don't know, I just feel like this village is visually kind of flat.

A lot of the same colors, nothing really distinguishing between the different houses.

There's not a lot you can get from exploring other than just loot.

But I do think the village has some great visual storytelling, like this comically large bowl of eggs.

It clearly tells the story of someone who dropped a comically large bowl of eggs.

The village itself is completely wrecked.

It looks like someone got drunk and had a really good time on a tractor.

and also hates goats there's really only one house left

that looks lived in oil lamps still lit food left on the stove

and a bunch of goat skulls on the wall

now this has got to be our goat hater no no friendly friendly who are you who sent

you nobody there was an accident down

the road what's going

on oh no they're

coming who is what the hell was that

it turns out this guy doesn't hate goats at all what he hates is oh my god

that's a lot of dead bodies what he hates is werewolves this is what i'm talking about

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.

370

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.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
