Thanks, I've been playing through the series again starting with 1. Before I started this spree I had only played parts of 1 and 2 on playstation and n64 (might have played a little of OG 3 at the time, can't remember), RE5 Coop on 360, Revelations 1 back when it came out on PC, and the first chapter of Leon on RE6.
A couple years ago I had gotten RE2 Remake, RE4 Remake, RE7, and RE8 gifted to me on Steam, from someone I used to know, but I had never bothered to play them and had decided it was finally time to do so, So when the Steam Winter Sale rolled around I decided to get the rest of the games I was missing on Steam (RE3 Remake, RE5, Revelations 2, though I did not get RE0)
I have played pretty much nothing but Resident Evil lately starting from the beginning, I did 1 HD, RE2R, RE3R, RE4R, Revelations 1 (since it takes place between 4 and 5), RE5, Revelations 2, RE6, RE7, and now RE8
And Yeah, so far I don't think RE8 is too scary, definitely more manageable than 7 which I think the atmosphere is what got me most in 7 besides the jumpscares here and there, mostly from Molds spawning outta thin air in front of me lol.
Whats funny to me is I thought RE7 was more scary/nerve-racking than playing Alien Isolation which was another game I had bought my self years ago and refused to play for the longest time because of what I heard about it, it wasn't until they announced they were making Alien Isolation 2 that I was like, well shit, I guess I have to play the first game now so I can get the second one and ignore it for years
