I would say this mode really enforces the survival horror aspect ALOT. You barely get any ammo, spawns are completely different (Items are moved in different places too), AI is more realistic and best of all your health is barely even there. Making it more realistic in that aspect and considerably adding the best immersion for VR (in which I am playing in). Madhouse mode is the true Survival experience I highly recommend you play Madhouse mode.
I just beat the game on Normal a few days ago. Now that I know you unlock infinite ammo after beating Madhouse I will run through Madhouse again but with inf ammo.
Beat it the other day on Madhouse. Definitely had to rethink boss battles, guard a lot more, and utilize crafting and ammo conservation more. Really added to the tension. I enjoyed it, and may go through again with my newly unlocked infinite ammo.
I'm about half way through it and it feels like a different experience. I never felt scared on normal, but this mode terrifies me because it forces you to go back if you didnt save. Especially when you're running low on ammo and you just want to reach that next save room.
For the people struggling with the Mia fight in the beginning: You can actually leave the room to give you some distance and time to breathe, as she will have to saw the doors open. Plus you can counter her chainsaw charge (not her slashes) by blocking, which makes her stumble back and gives you a free headshot. Good luck!
Thank you all so much for the advice! The first part I'm sure will be hard so just this little advantage wouldn't hurt 😅 I still have to experience the rest of the game on madhouse for myself still so yeah, wish me luck haha
@@leonpaelinck yeah it really depends how your able to save your tapes, I was referring to the jack fight in the garage with the police officer cutscene right before. So far on madhouse I’ve been able to get to the jack fight with the chainsaw. Can’t really beat that lol
@@collieee2957 You just grab the lockpick, key and enter the car as soon as possible. And make sure you grab every single herb before you start the fight.
Haters be like : "I beat madhouse in less than 10 minutes bruh and with a blindfold breh. Not worth $60 brah. Great experience but not worth brih. 6/10"
Flindo it's 8 hours blind. I sped through on easy around 2 and a half hours. I have fun with infinite ammo and stuff so I think it was worth the money. Plus I traded in a lot of games before buying this so I only paid 59 cents for it, so no complaints
Madhouse was my best experience with the game, it felt like a real RE classic with survival elements, limited saves, like the first game all over again.
@@theimortal1974 i didn't mind the limited saves but what bothered me was that the ink ribbons always took away inventory space and it was always a hassle to either take them out of the box or to get them in the first palce
Maddie Rylee You run around in a panic because you did not watch any videos about the game prior to playing then you try to get in the car without the keys which ends with you being torn out of the car and Jack trying to run you over.
What I loved about Madhouse is that it wasn't just 'enemies have more health/damage.' It actually increased the difficulty, not just turned you into a porcelain doll.
Quester91 Though, it could have been a little longer and could've had a bit more variation in weapons. Like, with melee weapons, you only keep 2 through the entire game, which are the knife and survival knife. I'd like to use the hatchet or the crowbar on a Molded. The Circular Saw is one too. But by the time you get it. you really don't have much need for it.
Brofistion FTW And you're expecting the crowbar and hatchet to have some wonderful, inventive moveset compared to the knife? lol whats the point in that?
it would bring more variety to the melee system in this game, all you can do is fucking put your hands up and block an attack? how unrealistic is that? 3 major flaws with this "resident evil" title: Creatures (4 different versions of the same fucking monster?? weak as fuck, even though they were aesthetically visceral) , Story (what the fuck was going on? some old ass woman wanted a family the whole fucking time, really? Completion Time (isn't even worth mentioning, with all the time and investment in this game, they blew it, I mean a fuckin speedrun with a knife on madhouse in 2 hours!?! thats a fuckin joke! And the connection to resident evil??? All in all, I am pleased with the direction they went, kills me that they fucked up on the story and the length of the game. Not a 10/10. tops is an 8
GnarlyK!ng Christ, your problems are nitpicky at best. Monster design? I'll give you that, variety is needed for the molded. Story? What's wrong with it? At its core it's still stupid evil company creates totally disadvantageous weapon. As for the story in main game it's no different than the Ashford's incest bug fetish, RE4's cult virus nonsense and all the usual RE BS. Completion time? You mean like how classic Resident Evil can also be speedrun at like 2-4 hours and rewarded goodies for it? This is incentive for replayability. The game is as long as classic RE, It's not like you would speedrun the game on your first playthrough, ffs dude, pick a better complaint. The connection with RE? It had it. It had the right amount of informations and connections here and there without being dependent on previous games and flat out forcing shit on your throat going "This is RE 'member?!".
Good luck getting past the first boss fight on madhouse. You'll think you're playing dark souls if you're on a console. Edit 4 years later: for the last 4 years, every now and then someone comments flexing how they beat it on a controller, NO ONE CARES!
Yep. I can confirm. Played on xbox and died on the Mia fight over 10 times before I finally killed her. Pretty much the only part of madhouse that gave me any trouble though
Those fast moving moulded crawlers are nightmares, if u don't headshot em quickly . They kill you in 2 hits . Also, some sections there will be 2 Fat moulded dudes, that pair will mess you up if you are not prepared for em.. Besides that , the Marguerite boss fight and Mia boat level were the challenging parts for me.
dennie clark I got killed by em couple of times! Then I remembered to save beforehand :) . Moulded crawlers, Marguerite boss fight and Mia boat level were the hard parts for me . Especially the pair of Fat moulded guys.. I bought the Assault coin, got all stablisers and steroids , Essence and secrets of Defence , used mostly Albert-01 and M21 shotgun and remote bombs are lifesavers . I only used the Magnum .44 for the last portion of the game.
Star Wars :Rouge One molded killed me alot actually, The jack boss fight chainsaw version and Marguriete i actually beat first try... Marguriete put me at brink of death for me tho... what killed me the most was crawlers and the two fatties at the end before Eviline... i kept running past enemies to that point and was low on ammo so how i beat it i hanged back and killed the enemies up to it and found plenty of resources to face the fatties :)
Yurick Hunt in terms of horror? no RE7 is far scarier then RE1. in terms of how good the game is as an RE game? thats close as RE7 is the most "Resident Evil" since RE4 and RE7 imho is the best beaten only by RE1 and RE2 with RE4 close to it, The best thing bout RE7 is it returns to the "Fight Or Flight" gameplay style which RE was all about before it became action packed. i absolutely loved this game
I have beat Madhouse 3 times and honestly I'm glad. The first time felt impossible. The second was a failed speedrun. The third was with my friend. After you beat it the first time it becomes easy.
I was really enjoying Madhouse mode until the boss fight with Margurite. She straight up won't die. I plugged so many rounds into her and prevented her from laying nests but it just never ends.
one thing that really got me fucked up about this mode was during the end of the game where ethan has to climb up a ladder with two fat molded in the tunnel, you think you're about to win climbing up the latter until you realized three traps are set across the ladder... swear it took me the longer than any other thing to do lol
Personally for me, the greatest confusion that Madhouse created for me was giving me Grenade Launcher in the trailer. It made me think "hey, wait up - if they're giving me this so early, that means I'm going to fight something in there" while they did put some molded in the old house, I expected some sort of overmutated Marquerite or something. It made sense of fear greater, because it left me slowly creeping through the old house thinking that something is gonna fuck me over.
Dude its op. I got the infinite ammo, and i ABUSED the gernade launcher cause of madhouse. And holy crap, never felt so satisfing firing infinite ammo.
The Mia fight Marguerite boss All of the fast molded More fat molded (at least double) Less ammo I'm at the part where the cave is collapsing, right before the final boss. It's very, very hard.
@@arcticgodzilla4492 Ikr, but thT is hard too... Im to marguerite House and is very hard... I dont have burner fuel... Fucked up. I finished madhouse 3 times, and it worth because of infinite ammo 😈
Glad I watched this. I don't know if I'll ever play the game for a third time, especially on Madhouse, but I'm glad to know what that game "mode" holds for us. I'm very appreciative to say the least. And impresses with Capcom to have the foresight to make those specific changes to get that replayability increased.
After dying to Mia 5-6 times, my weak ass decided that, although I was intriqued to play the game in a new way, the Infinite Ammo wasn't worth losing my mind over. I will play it one day. But for now, I think I'll just replay it on Normal.
if you pick up the axe from where you fight her the first time, you can block her running attack and then follow up with a single hit after the animation finishes, it will always stun her letting you run away, get enough distance between you and she'll do the same running attack every time, get a couple of headshots in before she charges each time and you're fine, it takes a while but you can do it without even getting hit
Yeah don't get too discouraged. I died on the Mia fight over 10 times before I finally got her. You'll get it eventually. It was by far the hardest part of madhouse for me personally. I just couldn't get the headshots lined up and wasted my ammo and it takes so long to reload. Like others have said if you've already unlocked the saw then the rest of madhouse is basically a cakewalk. Hard part is getting to that first item box lol.
+GeorgeWBushTeaBag - I see, so the Mia fight is basically a test to see if you are up for the challenge, as in, if you win that fight you can beat that reast no sweat. Okay.
DystrVctionシンゴジラ yes! run, and don't stop; don't watch the tapes (only the last one - Mia's boat tape); if you forget what to do, just pause the game (time stops); get the albert, and go straight to the jack chainsaw fight; get the broken shotgun and repair kit; don't carry many itens; the last jack fight, use the neuro rounds to kill him fast; after that, just run everything; don't fight the fat molds, only the elevator one; don't get the machine gun; on the mines, run and shoot, don't kill enemies; the last two fat molds, climb the metal platform, wait them get closer, and go straight to the ladder; save the magnum to finish eveline very fast. if you screw up, you can do that in 3h-3,5h; before the last jack fight, you'll need at least 1 hour, to be safe; so save separate there, in case things go wrong not hard to do, if you watch carcinogen videos
The four items that have been carrying me through madhouse are the circular saw, x-ray glasses, the art of defense and the essence of defense. Those are what's been dragging me through this.
I love that you can obtain all DLC or addons by beating the game on any difficulty or a certain one with one objective it lets anyone have more fun with out having to pay money
"Okay, just gotta run to the safe room and- EEK!" That was adorable and I loved it XD Btw I absolutely love your videos, I find myself staying up all night watching them!
I would recommend using the walking shoes for mobility as you are not going to be running all the time, the secrets of defense and the essence of defense so you don’t die as much, the x-ray glasses so you can collect items easier, the Albert handgun as it is the best gun, and the chainsaw because it is op Side note- the reason the Albert is the best is because it has much easier ammo to find
Clayton Hernandez i thought Go Tell Aunt Rhody eas great (if it counts). Also, the theme before you play the game was memorable to me. Yeah, apart from that I cant remember anything compared to the music in Revelations which I can still remember. Anyway, what is your favorite RE music?
Enjoyed this game by starting from lowest setting to highest to gain all the unlocks bit by bit. Def made it more fun than playing hardest setting on day 1
A way to make madhouse easier is to beat the game under 4 hours (recommended on easy) and you will get a circular saw which does amazing damage and x-ray glasses witch is phycostimilus but 24/7.
Mia is easy when you simply run pass everything. Marguerite too if you just run pass all the hives and molded. you will have plenty of fuel and bullets to unload on Margu
I hate high difficulties that make enemies uber tanks, this difficulty requires being a blocking master and i always hated blocking because it makes no sense
This game is way smaller and shorter than any Souls game. Plus they aren't even the same kind of game. This is like looking at something from Contra and saying "ZELDA TAKE NOTICE!"
them: you should try out resident evil 7 in VR. Me who played resident evil 7 for the first time in VR mode: you fool I am already 4 parallel universes ahead of you
Finished madhouse got the platinum for re7 gotta tell ya I wouldn't wish this difficulty on a family member. The jack final transformation battle is the worst. Never playing biohazard again. Love resident evil series forever.
ummm... hey guys do you know if i play the game on normal and beat it and start a campaign on easy would my gear/everything transfer over to this magical military box?
Definitely get the circular saw and other add-ons you can get before going to madhouse for your first madhouse playthrough it will make things alot easier to deal with.. btw if you are brave instead of hiding from Jack during that first little run after the table scene when u run out of the kitchen into the hallway where you'll find the key on the table run fast grab the key and then turn fast run into the kitchen make sure u shut the door on jack hurry run to the underground door unlock it and don't panic just open it crouch and drop down fast.. it's the best and fastest way to get into that hole before jack can grab u otherwise your gonna be hiding up to five minutes trying to figure out how ur gonna unlock the door without getting spiked... And at the very end in the tunnel with the bloaters the huge one go up get aggro then run all the way back u should saved up your nerve gas stay back at the stairs and pummel them with ur nerve gas and take calculated headshots with your best gun which is gonna be ur albert or the magnum If you have the ammo but most of you probably won't on first playthrough of madhouse so use ur albert with enhanced ammo and keep nerve gas then headshots and eventually they fat guys will drop
Advice for crafting: Just got a strong Chem fluid and want to make a strong first aid or enhanced ammo? You can, but what if you could also get a grenade ammo as well? I discovered a way to get BOTH with just ONE strong Chem fluid. All you need to do is: 1. Check to see if you have Solid fuel or Supplements (needed to craft grenade ammo), and also if you have separating agent. 2. Craft the grenade ammo of your choosing using the strong Chem fluid. You will now have two grenade ammo. 3. Now use the separating on the new grenade ammo. Funny enough, it will only take one of them to remake strong Chem fluid You will now have an extra grenade ammo but still have the strong Chem fluid. This is literally the best use of separating agent whenever I play
And I'm a huge Resident Evil fan and this is hands down absolutely one of the best survival horror games and resident evil game this game will actually scare the shit out of u. And it was such a breath of fresh air from the RE developers they created something I've beat atleast two hundred times and still yet I can put it in my xbox one or my ps4 and play over and over and be happy about it
GOTY for me and its only February! I was worried the first person viewpoint would detatch from the "Resi" feel... I need not have worried! This is Resident Evil 4 all over again, fresh and new yet still feels like it should! Bring on Resident Evil 8!
TheBoycie86. not trying to be rude here but no game has ever won game of the year when it releases at the beginning of the year or in the middle of the year. all the games that win game of the year are games that have released around September or later.
I've been having a blast with this difficulty after picking up the game after not having played it since 2017. Stuck at Jack's final fight though, you can't have too many slip ups in that one it seems
I know I'm just one comment amongst many, but I am really thankful for this video for showing me just another aspect to this amazing game I had not realized yet. I was originally a bit appalled by its price tag but now I'm actually thinking about upgrading my system (which might be due anyways) just for this title. Thanks dude. Great job!
Madhouse difficulty gave me a run for my money. I got angry, I got sad, and when I would progress I would be so proud and happy. It was a great experience and can proudly say I beat it, felt like half the time I was fighting with the controller though lol
I found that in the first Mia-fight if you block her when she's charging at you, you take no damage, just kick her back (worked every time I did it anyways, not sure about how it works against her when she's just swinging the chainsaw, kept my distance by running out of the room). Then just run out of the room and reload, breathe and wait for her to slowly saw her way through doors giving you time to aim for the headshot. That darn car key twist gave me a heart palpitations. As did Jack's increased reappearances when he stalks Ethan throughout the house. Being chased by him was by far the scariest parts for me personally. I thought Madhouse was a great addition to the overall experience.
Nice... Epic. But Im soon complete done with RE7, playing on Normal Difficulty first playthru. its challenging on normal also, yep. just not super hard. Awesome videogame
Did you know you can combine regular bullets with gun powder to make enhanced ammo. I thought it was only gunpowder and strong Chem fluid, you use 10 regular bullets and gunpowder to get 5 enhanced
For anyone attempting and having trouble with madhouse. Here is the biggest tip I can ever give you: GET THE BUZZ SAW before attempting mAdhouse. The reason I say this is because when I first attempted madhouse, it took me a whole week just to get to margarite and she was impossible on madhouse because I kept running out of ammo so I gave up. 2 years later I came back to the game and decided to get all the possible rewards prior to madhouse and it was the best decision I have ever made. It only took me about 3 days to complete madhouse and the chainsaw fight with jack took less than a minute with the buzzsaw. It does a ton of damage and can kill the molded really easily
