Btw guys the reason Lady Dimitrescu can’t enter the Dukes room in her palace is because both of them are so dense that if they were in the same room the resulting thiccness would collapse into a black hole

Here's a win: At the start, Ethan says he receives military training. That explains the reason he checks the mag when receiving the gun, and has a different reload animation from 7.

Bonus wins: the wine that they have everywhere at the start is actually Lady Dimatrescu’s family wine 👀

Forgot to win the part where Karl says "That boulder punching asshole!" in the bossfight. It's a callback to the ridiculous moment in RE5 where Chris literally punches a 10ft tall boulder

love everyone saying "how was ethan so calm??" as if homeboy didn't had like thirteen breakdowns in between his dissociative episodes lmao

People says that, in the scene when Dimitrescu is talking with Mother Miranda on the phone, she should be able to see Ethan in the mirror, but my theory is that she actually did but pretended not to, then she got out through the bathroom and locked the door. The bathroom is connected to the hallway so she was waiting for Ethan behind the main door in order to ambush him.

I really like how each of the Lords are based on gothic tropes and characters from gothic stories. Lady D is based on vampires, Dracula specifically, and a tall Japanese yokai who wears a white dress and hat. Donna is based on ghosts, spirits, and other haunted stuff. Moreau is based on HP Lovecraft's sea creature like monsters, though I do get major Igor vibes from him as well. And Karl Heisenberg is based on Frankenstein, the creator, not the monster. And, of course, the Lycans are based on werewolves.

I love that little detail you don't really understand till a 2nd playthrough. But when you first meet Alcina face to face and she calls Ethan a little stale. With Ethan being you know Mold her daughters think he's delicious. Flies like dead things? Nice little cool detail.

The "Oh shit!" Ethan screams when he gets his hand cut off has got to be one of the most relatable reactions in video game history.

Win: When first meeting Heisenberg, he hints at him planning to betray Miranda. "You must be pretty tough, huh?" "You're not local, even better."

I actually just noticed this from watching the video, when Lady D is speaking to mother Miranda. It looks like she is looking in the mirror out at where Ethan is hiding

I went in never expecting to get emotional in a Resident Evil game, of all games.

Bonus Wins: Ethan’s one liners-“Now your insides match your outsides you pyscho witch!” The infinite old RE references- Chris being called the Boulder punching asshole, Miranda being used a huge inspiration for Umbrella and it’s beginning, all the terms used and the organization others work for. The aesthetic being alarmingly similar to RE4, with the case/inventory being the same and Duke referencing the merchant “what are you buying, what are you selling?” Moldy Ethan being teased since RE7 to some extent. Bloodborne music for the final boss. And finally, the Silent Hills ass Beneviento house. No weapons, no nothing. Hallways are similar, and the giant baby feels like something Silent Hills would’ve used.

I think it's super far fetched but the reason we never see Ethan's face is to show that the hero can be basically an every day person and not flashy and badass like Leon or Chris.

I'd win how Lady Dimitrescu genuinely cares for her daughters. Her reactions to their deaths always gets me. Gives her a bit depth.

one of my personal wins was when Karl calls chris a boulder punching asshole. This is a reference to a scene in the end of RE5 where chris literally punches a boulder

Ethan's attempts for action hero one-liners are so great. 10/10 character

One very minor detail that I've noticed is that in the intro Chris shoots mia/Miranda in the upper arm as to still not being 100% sure it's not Mia while at the end he shoots her with a clear shot to the head making it clear that it wasn't a miss

I honestly love the fact that Ethan being dead was actually active in RE7 too. If anyone remembers, in the end of RE7 where Ethan gets hallucinations from Eveline, Eveline says “now it’s mommy’s **TURN** to kill you” meaning they already had the frame of mind of Ethan just being dead. I’d say that’s definitely a win.

Good to see a newcomer’s perspective on the series rather than a veteran who likes to compare new releases to older games.

Rosemary: Dad did you ever drop me as a baby? Ethan: Ethan if he survived: Well yes but actually no.

"ethan would excel at saw traps" *coughs in lucas' section in biohazard*

Fun fact: Every enemy you face in Heisenbergs factory is literally modern versions of some monsters in Frankenstein army

I would have gave a win for Chris turning on the light as he explains to Ethan what's really been going on because he literally and metaphorically illuminates the situation for Ethan in that moment. You or Cinema Wins would likely have worded that better, but I stand by it.

Bonus Win - Moreau yelling “IM THE BEST!!!!” Yeah you sure are lil buddy!!! :)

I chuckled when Hiesenburg said “That Boulder punching asshole”, RE 5 was my first RE so it was nice getting that call back to the most ridiculous part of that game, when I replayed it with my little brother I looked at him before the fight and said “ Wanna punch a Boulder?”

"Everything great about RE8 Number one, okay So there's this really big lady right?"

No matter what VPN, no matter how good it is or how affordable, Chris will find you if he is looking. The Redfield lineage must continue.

This is so far one of my favourite Resident Evil games in the series. They turned Ethan from a 1 note cardboard to actual character and later into 1 of my favourite Protagonists in the series. Also The villains were all memorable in they own right. My favourites being Lady Dimitrescu, Heinsberg and Mother Miranda. Great video!!!!!

Multiple wins for Lady Dimitrescu being a truly caring mother, a win for the unique character/monster designs, multiple wins for Ethan's determination, and a few more wins for the emotional, tear-jerking ending 😭

If you looked closely in the house you would’ve noticed that ethan had been reading multiple self defense and weapons guides which allowed for him to have the knowledge to check the mag and chamber

I loved how each Lord was a different theme

Additional win here: After the Lycan King fight when you see the hall full of crystals each tip shines. That is not just game design, if you hit or shoot each tip it drops you gems. As well, other parts of the game have glimmering gems hidden on ceilings and upper walls.

Hopefully either Leon or Claire appears in the next game as a mentor to (spoiler) Rosemary

Quick thing you missed, during the prologue house scene, Ethan references military training. This helps explain their skill with firearms

Another win: the doc about Spencer being an apprentice of Miranda which ties to the first game and explains the correlation with the umbrella corp Also Kendo and george trevor references

Aside from military training like Chris, he also received one-liner courses from Leon!

the only thing that bugged me over this game was Ethan's reactions to things related to rose, hell im only 19 but i can tell no father that had a BABY lost in an incredibly dangerous setting would be that calm

Extra reason for the baby being named Rosemary *could* be a slight nod to the film Rosemary's Baby, which features effectively a cult trying to facilitate the demonic possession of a baby (if memory serves, it's been a long time since I saw it). And as a secondary thing, I would note how the initial discussion where Mia points out how Ethan matters may not be just because he's focusing too much on taking care of Rosemary. It's also potential foreshadowing to the state what's left of Ethan is in. He may not notice anything being wrong, but Mia does, and she cares. Third item, am I the only one experiencing a mixture of bemusement and annoyance at how perfectly Ethan's sleeve stays on after his hand is severed? Like I get that it wouldn't necessarily fall off, but it just sits there way too perfectly.

Bonus wins from my end lmao- When you’re in the basement after being dragged down by the Lycan, you’re not drawn to look at the darkness but you’re more drawn to looking at the bodies you’re… **surrounded by** Heisenbergs whole “She controlled me and I wanna kill her” is actually really well played, because it shows he lost his humanity with how far he was willing to go but hadn’t lost it to much to ask for help. It… moved me so much **because I love this man**

sister "why do you instantly like a gaming wins video" me "ITS THE LAW"

My man Ethan has been through hell and back. Had both hands and legs cut off. His fingers bitten off. He was bitten and slashed by the molded, lycans ,witches. He had both hands split down the middle, and both calves slashed. I thought he got fucked up in 7, but that was nothing compared to what happen in Village.

Honestly the four Lords are the best characters Resident Evil has given us

In reference to Mia and Ethan’s argument near the start and why it’s the real Mia: You have to understand Mia was a mercenary who transported bioweapons before the events of 7, and is indirectly responsible for the entirety of 7’s events. That, plus her own survivors guilt would be compounded knowing her husband is actually dead. “YOU matter”, she says, meaning she wants Ethan to understand his second chance and how precious his life really is.

I don’t know why, but I always find it really cool when the fetus’s mouth expands slightly when she does the final scream after Ethan escapes. It’s such a tiny detail and I love that the devs paid so much attention to that kind of stuff.

I also took notice the first time that "Mia" was more angry than anything with that first shot which made me think the initial role of Chris was related to her being still infected in some way.

"Chris Redfield would like to have a word with you." that line killed me

Anyone notice the stale blood comment alluding to Ethan being dead and as such he wouldn’t have fresh blood.

here's a win One: When You're playing as Chris there's a file and pictures that relate Miranda's involvement back to Spencer Aka one of the founding leaders of the Umbrella. This Wraps everything back together and relating this game to the other old games such as the 1st 2nd and 3rd RE and the 5th RE where Spencer is killed by Wesker. Spencer was The Student Of Mother Miranda and Because of Her She is a factor in the Racoon City incident and the creation of Umbrella.

12:57 in RE2 Remake its explained that the herbs used to make any healing item in the game essentially have unexplainable healing abilities beyond any form of professional medicine

I finished what I thought was the best RE game in years only to come on RU-vid and find a severe lack of videos gushing about how good this game is. Thank you for making this.

"its only 8 hours" bro the beneviento house part alone felt like 8 hours real talk the entire game took me about 20 hours since i pretty much looted EVERY single treasure and item

You work fast my dude I was gonna study some japanese but that can wait 30 min

I fucking always love your opening and closing theme it actually gives me excitement and vague hope from my own existence also thank you I’ve been waiting for this type of channel for video games.

Your whole 'Rosemary to mourn the dead' win in the beginning just had something click to me, the one time he calls her by her full birthname instead of just Rose is when he's about to face his death at the end.

The fact that I just finished my second run and this pops up on my recommended

This game is SO addictive, the story, gameplay and atmosphere melds so well together. I've already played the campaign 3 times and it was unique every time. Village is probably my second favorite resident evil, next to RE2

I'm excited to see where this channel goes. Good luck!

Just stumbled upon your channel and I got to say I’m loving it, my guy! Keep it up. Been binge watching your vids

The table scene in Luisa's house is supposed to mirror RE7, including the positioning of the people around it to evoke that uneasiness you mentioned. Anton is Lucas; Luisa is Marguerite (fun fact Sara Coates voiced both roles) and Leonardo is Jack. You're supposed to get the sensation that they're going to turn on you.

A Win: Ethan has had some military training, hence him checking the round in the handgun. Besides the dialogue he had, in his and Mia’s room, there were military training books.

Capcom really out did themselves

I absolutely loved when you emerge from the bush and the looming castle in the distance with distant bells

9:30 that "Partly" carcked my up so much!!

I would love to see you do "before your eyes" it is sad and beautiful in every way

The best thing about this game is that being an even number, Leon isn't in it xD Also Nicholas Cage 😏

The way you delivered that advertisement at 3:55 was a win. Most advertisements feel abrupt, but you've smoothly went into it by relating it to your review.

So, one thing I noticed in the storybook parts; so we know that the 4 monsters are a reference to each of the 4 Lords, and they all show up in the order we defeat them in the game. What I just noticed while watching your video, is that there were three bats who flew away before the Bat Lord reveals himself to the girl, referencing the daughters. Those bats are also in black, like the daughters, while the Bat Lord is in white like Lady D. Also, the Witch appears in a cloud of ravens, just like Miranda does. It's just a really well done sequence!

11:25 I literally knew the moment he cleared his throat meaning something that most of us men would know. Edit: 12:40 WHY?! Another Edit 13:52 ...I give up...

Always love being early to this channel, this is how I like to start my day 😄😄

I just found your channel lately but I’m loving all your videos!

16:45 love that jab at cd projekt red

Quick! Leon, Ethan! Get atlas VPN to hide your real location to avoid continuing the Redfield lineage

Damn I love The Duke my favorite Character in the game xD

Honestly, I was very iffy about watching an entire "Everything Great about" series that revolved around game but after finding you channel and the hard work you put into it, I can do nothing but praise you. You got yourself a fan, my friend and I can't wait for the next review!

I’m so glad this channel is blowing up! I’ve been binging vids for the past 3 weeks!! Pls do mass effect 💕

Here's a win When he says I'm going to kill the rock punching sob its a call back to re3

You should Everything Great about Uncharted 4

Dude the intro to that ad read at 3:55 is gold.

MirandaMia's reaction to that first bullet was my favorite scene on my second playthrough because it was sooooo obvious once you knew it was Miranda but I never even thought about it on the first playthrough

Please tell me you’re going to play Biohazard now. It pains me to see someone play Village without having played 7 😭😭

I just found this channel and you sir got a new subscriber!!! Plus RE8 quickly became one of my favorite RE titles!

Hey, an extra win, in the narration of the story of the book in the begining, each Monster (The bat, the weaver and the fish) give willingly a gift to the child, but not the Horse, and in the story, Lady D, Beneviento and Moreau are loyal to Miranda but not Karl, so Its kinda cool if you think about it.

Man thinks Ethan can give Leon a rum for his money. A mistake that bad has never been made

This is my first video of yours and mannnnn let me tell you.... the way I laughed out loud... in my office😂😂. Subscribed for sure!

didn't know the Rosemary thing about Mourning, thats cool also, a sins/wins video with a good narrator who makes good points aswell as good jokes? love it I've seen animationsins ok-

I love the fact that Ethan only pours the healing goop on his hand that stapled back on my margurite in re7. Every other part of him is mold, so it would make sense that he would pour the goop on his only normal feature.

8:35 actualy I think when you are at the meeting of the four lords reminds me of the baker's dinner table

Would love to see a "everything great about biomutant" video when it's out. A bit like cyberpunk with the multiple endings, but think you'd really enjoy it. Love the channel, keep up the great work!

Kinda sad that I don't think Ethan will come back. We saw what happens when the mold starts disintegrating. It just goes to a pile of ashes that I don't think they come back from. At least if there is another game we will probably follow Rose's story since she still has some of Ethan and Mia's strange powers. I'm nlg i almost cried from the ending, especially seeing Rose

Okay so for the rotating statue puzzle in Lady D’s castle I didn’t see the plaque on the wall for the riddle. I literally rotated them on how I assumed nobles would think the order goes. I got the whole thing right on my first try.

I played 7 and 8 back to back on hard and my favorite part is the ethan reveal. It makes all the damage i took make soo much sense. I still had the same reaction to him losing his arm as you did

that transition to the the ad was so smooth

This is one of my new favorite channels. Just like cinemawins but with games. Or theres another channel that's just like GamingWins but with video's

Extra win: All the lords + Miranda and Ethan have their story involve family. Ethan's entire motivation is to save Rose, the one member of his family he thinks is left. Lady Dimitrescu had her 3 daughters and became more enraged the more you killed them. Plus, her vampire shtick was caused by a hereditary blood disease. Beneviento had a backstory surrounding her parents' death and there was all those potshots thrown at Ethan's sense of family with the fetus section. Moreau also seemed to lack living family, and instead took Miranda's family dynamic too close to heart, seeing her as his mother and being desperate to prove himself to her. Heisenberg is probably the most different in this theme, and he completely rejects notions of family in any regard, whether it be his 'siblings' in the other lords and 'mother' in Miranda, or Ethan's protectiveness of Rose, trying to convince to use her as a weapon against Miranda. Miranda herself started all this because of her obsession with bringing back her lost daughter, and clearly built her cult as a pseudo-family, what with her always being referred to as 'Mother Miranda' by her subjects.

For me, Hisenburg was my fav as well, and the doll. I like Dimitrescu but mostly for her weapons and the scale is awesome to see moving around with the rest of the castle

Love your videos , wholesome non pessimistic content!

Love your Channel dude

perfect timing on this one man i just watched jacks videos on it
