Nothing regrows limbs. RE7 liquid re-attaches them. Were healing herbs ever explained? Probably not. Still, who cares. On a RE scale of wierdness it's probably 4/10. Should i mention the guy-turns-into-dinosaur end boss from RE6?

Healing sprays were just a gameplay concession to give you a quick and easy way to heal. They're never actually acknowledged in the story, in the same way that Chris can have his jugular torn out by zombies ad infinitum in the first game, yet you will never be infected by the T-Virus despite all the games acknowledging that one bite was more than enough to infect someone. It's something that exists in the game mechanically and made no real logical sense, but everyone ignored since it was necessary for the gameplay mechanics to work.

The LP I was watching last night, even the LPer was a little incredulous about the maiming. Like to heal the guy pours first aid fluid on his stump. Really?
:hmmm:

:cmcc::nocountryforshitposters:
He can do that shit because he's infected with the moldy shit just like the bakers, I thought it was obvious as fuck, with the leg scene or the bakers keep on blabbing on about your 'gift' but considering none of you fucks mentioned it apparently it was subtle. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised the red/yellow chems in first aid is accelerating the mold's growth.

I watched entire game on twitch, first hours looked scarry, but then it felt like they ran our of ideas so last 4 hours are more like shooter FEAR, but with more stupid AI.

Anyone tried it in VR? I hear it's pretty intense.

I played the "kitchen" demo in VR and it was really impressive. The problem with VR though is the headset - it's very uncomfortable, hot and I can't possibly see myself playing more than 10 minutes with it on.

The resolution is also shit with a lot of aliasing, but that's secondary and the "experience" makes up for it. I can only imagine the full game is really cool in VR, if only the headset weren't so damn clunky.

edit: there's a lot of butthurt in this thread, but the criticism is mostly valid. I think the final game is actually worse than the demo, at least the idea that the scenario could change drastically and that you could have different outcomes based on the order that you do stuff in, that was pretty cool. The final game is great atmosphere-wise of course (and I'm the easiest audience for this kind of shit having grown up with Tobe Hooper's Texas Chainsaw Massacre ingrained in my brain), there's a lot of attention to detail and so on, but it's a very linear game with really diminishing returns on subsequent playthroughs.

It's also very weak in the gameplay department compared to pretty much every RE, having more in common with modern walking simulators than anything else that I can think of.

Still, I got it for 30 bucks and am having fun with it. Make up your own mind and don't fucking watch the game on youtube. Gaming media is a joke, I don't know why people still bring that shit up.

So, does this have any connection to demo?

The demo is its own thing, but the location is the very start of the full game (guest house). The start of the game is kind of like playing the demo in reverse order.

You find their ghost chasing van before going into the house, and a VHS tape with an edited down version of the demo you pop into the VCR to relieve part of it
Such outrage over a healing liquid in a game series that had introduced healing goddamn spray 20 years ago. Where do you guys come from ffs.

Who's outraged? I for one am just amused at how silly it looks. Spraying infected bite wounds with antiseptic (in a menu so you don't even see it anyway) vs pouring a bottle of stuff on a stump to heal the wounds all over your body. One's just a video game trope, the other just looks silly as fuck. If it had been done in a menu like the spray no one would even mention it.

Instead? There is no instead only now or later.
