This barely has a higher score than RE8: How?

[Zenofir]

RE8:
>short
>way too easy
>dull, easy boss fights
>terrible enemy variety (fighting pretty much the same thing the whole time)
>small numbers of enemies in any given fight, no intensity
>an entire section that seems like lazy padding spent "solving" "puzzles"--walking around small room to find solutions that are just given to you, no combat, ending with fake "boss fight" (doll level)

RE4:
>long
>challenging enough to be fun
>tons of enemies at once
>combat encounters keep varying and make the game steadily more intense
>meaningful enemy variety
>many great boss fights

I really don't get it. In my opinion, these games aren't even in the same universe in terms of quality. To me, RE4 is massively better in practically every way that matters. Wondering what people think and what I might be missing about RE8.

Trying to understand why people think RE8 is good. The points on enemy variety and enemy count seem certain and can't really be denied. To me those are serious problems but I guess other people are seeing some saving grace elsewhere...?

video games ain't a science for me, i don't have to break it down to a mathematical equation, if i like a game, it's good

Lol is there something wrong with wanting to see what people think about how the games compare?

I edited the OP to make it clearer than I'm curious about people's opinions, not looking to be annoying or whatever.

I have zero interest in Resident Evil 8. It is more about cliche monsters and less about the biological impact that pushed limits of reason. Resident Evil 8 gave hint that they might be running out of ideas, and went on stereotype classics over the Resident Evil history and lore.

it is when you present your opinion as fact, your whole post comes off as condescending

The answer to your question is "your opinion is yours alone".

It's odd to complain that a 97% positive rating isn't high enough, for some reason.

I think RE4's score is good and well deserved. It's RE8's score being so high that confuses me. Not complaining either, just don't get it.

9'6'' Dommy Mommy is in it along with her gothic daughters. Also it was a good end to the father's trilogy. That is why RE8 is Overwhelmingly positive.

The fact it was opinion is already understood. It is just an argument made by people who do not have the ability to reason a valid answer, but want to be snarky. Should have left your question as is, and ignore those that want to behave as offended that you did not included already understood context of the proposition.

When it comes to it, RE Village is more of a mindless fun that fails to satisfy its own story. There are countless games like that, so I will not pay AAA price for another one. Resident Evil 4 has a crazy story, and things that are outlandish remain consistent. The difference between the games comes down to passion put into the project.

I agree RE8 was meh, but doll house wasn't padding; it was the *good* part. When it was a horror game (first hour, anything exploring the village proper, doll house) it was brilliant. But that got replaced by a mediocre, slow-paced shooter about halfway in.

I distinctly recall halfway through the factory level thinking "I could just replay DOOM Eternal and be having so much more fun than this".

EDIT: As for why, one reason could be that Steam scores for single-player games are overwhelmingly skewed towards first impressions. I've played indie games that are 98% positive where only 15% of people bothered to ever finish the game. If the first 2 hours are great and then the game ♥♥♥♥♥ the bed, only a small handful of players will ever change their score. And RE8 gives a really, really good first impression.

You remind me of the Apple Jacks commercials. But it doesn't taste like apples. Lol!
