Resident Evil 7 super short, opinions?

Advertising piracy is against the website rules, you should remove that first sentence

Personally, I never buy anything at launch and I don't understand why people do it if a few months later the price drops a lot, are people so eager to play a certain game since they can't wait for it to be cheaper? And then they end disappointed because they realize according to their standards they gave way too much money

And I agree that a lot for a 7 hour game.

Well I buyed my copy as pre-order (but I payed 40€ cause Polish prices) and I'm satisfied. Yes, it was short, you can finish it under 4h (there's achievement), but I liked story and gameplay. I finished it twice for both endings. Is it worth 50€? Only for RE fans that want every game. If you're not a fan, wait for discount.

Trivia: You could finish RE1 and 2 under 3h to get special weapons.

Better to have a short but intense game than an open world busywork simulator or needess padding. Inflated gameplay time is way worse IMO.

It is not shorter or longer than any other Resident Evil game in the main series (except for RE6, but that campaign sucked monkey ass). RE4 is a 90-100 minute game, just like RE7, if you just run through it. RE7 has more side-activity and optional exploration than RE4 and about as much as RE5 did. The only reason it feels shorter is because it has only one enemy type (plus bosses) and not much in the form of action. I have seen blind playthroughs of it and RE1, RE7 usually took slightly longer for most people, but usually about the same. The only reason RE4-6 feel longer is because most any people fuck around and try to kill everything instead of actually hauling ass to continue the game.

Well I pirated it, so no loss for me. :D

Fun game although it's short.

I've never played Resident Evil games, but as I am reading here, they are pretty short.
I definitely like longer games, like Deus Ex: Human Revolution, or the Metro games where, if you check every corner, they can easily take you 15 hours to complete (my first run in Human Revolution took me almost 40 hours).

I'm guessing the day you started to get busy you will appreciate the short but amazing games more. At least that's what I feel nowadays.

First playthrough took me about 12 hours, second (on easy) about 6, and third (madhouse) 13 or 14 hours. Short but good replay value if you want to unlock stuff or get achievements.

Wasn't RE5 short aswell and filled with turret and qte's? Kinda weird to see someone disslike this one and then like 2 of the worst games in the serie. Not counting the on rail ones etc.

I bought it from g2a for 28 euro or so and that was deffinitly worth it for me. The only things i did not like is the loading lag every now and then and the fact that if i run the game for a few hours other games won't run well for some reason untill i restart my computer.
And of course the ending part of the game.. Yeah here have 1000 rounds of ammo and more enemies in 5 minutes than you had for most of the game! And then we shall end with a boring uninspired super easy boss battle! YAY!

It's to late for refund, right?

When did price = time played? If you are looking for something that gives you hundreds of hours of gameplay, then play one of the million of survival games out there. You should be buying a quality game that you enjoy, not one that babysits you for X amount of hours.

I haven't played RE7, so I can't comment specifically, but generally I would much prefer a tight, focused game experience over one that drags on and is stacked with filler.

No one ever complains about films being too short, but how often do you hear that a movie should have ended a half hour earlier? Filler and fluff just pad out and dilute the whole thing.

I hate when I read reviews and they criticise a game's length. It's such a non complaint.

Yes, it's good to get more of a nice, fun thing, but I feel it's infinitely better to leave the customer wanting more than to bore them with unnecessary and reused enemies or levels, overstaying it's welcome.

I hate short games or that games are short and every game is short to me because ive enjoyed all games ive wanted to play or just try out, so i guess i hate this one too or that its short. Definetly not worth full price. Maybe rather, 15-25/35 euros max.

My opinion is on buying Resident Evil 0 and 1 Remasters instead if you haven't played them. They're around 15-20 hours long each and amazingly well done.

To be honest, at first & before the game was released, I enjoyed how much horror it contained, but I was a bit disappointed especially after watching the full gameplay waiting for zombies (I mean real zombies, not those monsters) but not finding any..
I loved RE series for its zombies , the story behind each game, new stuff and the new kind of horror. I feel like they're forcing this game to be a resident evil, they should have called it "The Bakers House" or something like that, and by the way, I guess devs did not care at all about this point, they just added "Umbrella Corporation" logo on a helicopter at the end of the game just to make a link between it and the previous series. It's however a good horror game, not saying the opposite, and it deserves 40 USD max IMO.

I've not played RE7, so I can't comment on this particular case, but in general, I prefer short & sweet over long & padded. At 7h, I think that sounds like a fair length, as long as what's in there is consistently good.

You can always dl demo instead of trying whole game...

or wait for some reviews / feddback.
6 hours isn't a good investment in... time or in any worthy game...

I think it's worth it if you wait for the games price to go down and ain't in hurry.

Is not worth the full price, I would buy it on steam for $15 MAX, in the meantime will keep playing the windows store version ;)

Not sure why people are rushing it. I spent around 4-5h and I think I'm half way through.
Now is it worth 50e? I'd say it's worth around 25.
I gotta say I think it's a really good game like 9/10 and it has scared me to death.
Usually I only reserve such scores for open world games.

Is it worth the full price? No. no game is considering that A, games never really used to cost anywhere near that much and B, you can literally just wait a while to see either a price drop or a massive steam discount. As for if the game is short? Play the original resident evil. Not the remaster. the original on the ps1. The only reason that game took time was because your inventory space was even worse than in 7. You can blast through that game in just a few hours even with exploration. Yes 7 seems like it is shorter than it could be which is definitely an issue considering the price. Especially when you consider they are planning dlc...which will most likely cost more money too.

I don't mind short games, if someone isn't willing to spend that much money in a short experience maybe they should research more about the game's length and decide. Maybe this will be a lesson to have in mind for your next purchase :)
