Wow apparently Resident Evil Village was made much less of a horror game because people complained about Resident Evil VII being scary.
People complained about being scared after they deliberately purchased, installed, and then played a horror game.
People complained about a game having scary monsters and creatures in a horror franchise famous for having monsters and creatures
People complained about a horror game being scary
And then, I cannot emphasize enough, that after people complained then the game devs ACTUALLY MADE THE NEXT GAME IN THEIR **HORROR** SERIES LESS SCARY
@nytpu have you played any of the RE games before 7??
@noiob
They were never “pure” horror games, but RE 1, 2, & 3 (and the RE2 remake, the only of the remakes I've played) were good action-horror games. Never played 4. RE 5 was bad and from the small amount of 6 gameplay I've seen it looks awful.
But then RE7 is both an actually decent game and a transition to more standard survival horror (with the shift to first person and such). And then RE Village, the follow-up to RE7, was just worse and less scary while keeping the same standard first-person survival horror gameplay
@nytpu yeah okay if you've never played 4 and don't like 5 lol
@noiob @Loosf
Yeah I'm a big fan of Silent Hill 1 & 2 and Resident Evil 1 & 2. After those Silent Hill started going downhill then Konami lost interest in anything but Silent Hill slot machines so now I just follow Resident Evil lol. But I was excited that RE7 shifted more towards my personal preference for horror games.
And to clarify, Village wasn't *bad*, and I wouldn't be complaining at all until I read an interview with one of the developers where they said that they deliberately made it less scary and it just struck me as weird when making a game leaning more towards horror instead of action.
