    Hey everyone! Very glad to say that after a few rounds of unexpected events, I'm back to regular uploading!
    I'd like to thank all of you who have been patient during this winter as so many unavoidable events prevented me from working on Night Mind. If you follow my Twitter, Tumblr, or Facebook, then you know that there were some really sudden and unfortunate life things that happened with barely any time in-between--it was as if once one was dealt with, another major blow struck, and I found myself looking at a lot more painful aspects of this world's ability to shock us than I (or many others I care about deeply) expected.
    I won't go into details, as those are private, but it's been enough to really make me appreciate something I've always felt under certain circumstances: if there's ever something you need to tell someone you know or love, take the opportunity while it's open to you. Do not let the moment pass you by and generate regret. As sad as it is to say, that "better day" to say what's been on your mind to someone you care for may be taken away from you and many others without warning. Lives can change overnight--sometimes for the better, and sometimes, for the worse. This winter has shown me and many people I know how important it is to be braver than any hesitation you have about letting people know what they meant to you and getting closure on things that matter.
    And I guess that's why I tell you guys so frequently that I love you and how you've made my life so much greater than it's ever been.
    Anyway, that's it for now. I'm back to regular uploading and working and very, very excited about it. Thanks for sticking around during the dry spell.

    For some reason, Grandma Baker had the opposite effect on me for most of the game. It kinda clicked in my psyche that Grandma wasn't going to get out of the chair, or at least that's what they wanted me to think. It sort of gave me a sense of comfort that there was a person that wasn't going to attack you outright. Then, as expected, the game throws a twist at you and she turns out to be Eveline.

  • @TomSketchit
    @TomSketchit Před 7 lety +195

    One of my favorite details is the fact that it would seem that Lucas, throughout the course of the game, is not as infected as his family.
    He doesn't have any monstrous transformations, though he does have the regeneration (though evidently first aid juice can get the same effect.) There's evidence that he's been given a cure so that he can spy for the researchers down below.
    Unlike the family members, Lucas isn't killing because of the mold. He's just like that naturally. And yeah, that's probably obvious, but I just love that little detail.
    I really like this game. I'm not a Resident Evil fan, but I'm definitely a fan of this game.

    • @davidwilson2916
      @davidwilson2916 Před 3 lety +17

      What you just brought up isn't even implied - it's straight up confirmed. It's revealed in the final stretch of the game that Lucas has been in cahoots with a group called 'The Connections', which is dedicated to the distribution of bioweapons on the black market (the same group that Mia used to be a part of). He hasn't been taken over because he was provided with an antidote so that he could record the combat data and the effects that Eveline had on the Bakers in order to further refine her design - he only pretended to be a puppet so as to not arouse suspicion. This plotline is followed up on in the DLC, where Chris tries to stop him from sending the data he collected to The Connections in order to replicate the E-Series and generate massive profit for himself. I will agree, though, that it is neat that the game foreshadows this even before the reveal.

    • @mattbright2638
      @mattbright2638 Před 3 lety +6

      It's not necessarily the first aid juice. I think it's implied that Ethan is slightly infected by Eveline as well and that helps him with all the injuries he receives (in combination with the juice)

      When Lucas was a child he kidnapped and starved his school bully by locking him in his attic. You can read about it in his journal. Lucas is a born killer and maniac. It's safe to say that Jack was wrong about him.

    The amount of extensive detail in this game is so amazing. I forget the channel name but someone pulled back the camera to see how Ethan's model works in game, and holy shit the model does all the animations you see. When getting your leg chopped off, the model is actually being animated and you're not shown an in-game cutscene, it's happening in time in front of you. They didn't need to bother animating every single action, they could've just slapped an in-game cutscene and called it a day.

    • @Final-Ts
      @Final-Ts Před 7 lety +20

      I agree and like your stance. The only point I want to add is that BECAUSE the game is also VR capable, it probably played a role in detouring them from making in-game cut scenes in scenarios like that.
      I really love this new VR technology because I believe it will hold game designers/producers to a higher standard.

      @blehhblehh2477 Před 6 lety +2

      Hotline Cat Try playing the PSP Corpse Party (not Book of Shadows) in the dead of the night, alone in your room with the lights off, with headphones on. The immersion is just bonkers good, and the way the game just suddenly throws you randomly from one piece of the narrative to another using its character separation makes you automatically wanna solve everything and connect the dots. And for pixelated horror, I think it did a good job conveying some of the brutal scenes, especially when it switches from the pixel art to straight-up gruesome portraits.
      I kinda understand the 'everybody dies at any point in the game' simple view, but to me, it actually makes sense once you're halfway in after replaying it. These are students stuck in a place where death is the norm, and places like that mean that trying to survive is a lot worse, unless you're psychologically strong enough that you don't break. Unfortunately, high-school kids aren't.

    The first time I encountered Grandma Baker in that hall where she was humming I was a little freaked, cause I thought she was going to do something. No way she was just in a tight space like that with a safe room near by and death wasn't close. I saved, loaded up and very carefully walked past her, nothing happened and I made my way to the Scorpion door. Then she started humming again and I paused at the door, I then went to look back around the corner.....and she was gone and the humming stopped. Me and the buddy I had watching me play this game both looked at each other in just complete silence. It was the first time in a long time either of us had been so freaked out and felt so ill prepared in a game. Fear like that has to be earned and not just thrown in your face with a music sting, little things like that are why I now consider RE7 one of the most well crafted horror games.

As for you beating it in an hour, fuck, I beat it in 8, you're fast as fuck. And I don't want to make a shitty assumption but I feel like it fits here, I'm guessing you feel unfulfilled by REmake which can be beaten in 2 hours, which also had some Jumpscares.

    Damn you, nightmind!! I saw a new video, got SUPER excited and went to go check it out, watch the first 16-ish minutes and then you start talking about how i should play it for myself and how awesome of a horror experience it is...
    Now I have to go buy an entire video game AND a console, AND I don't get to watch the rest of the video yet, just 'cuz I trust you so much and because it sounds like a cool game I would really enjoy. You're a monster, Nick Nocturne. I was so ready to just ignore the spoiler warning but then I was like "ughhhh but it sounds so good and........ I can't just let Nick down!!" And now i have to be, like, a good person n' stuff and have things I enjoy >:| Damn you and your good influence!
    (I'm kidding, obvs, this game sounds AWESOME and I can't wait 'til I'm able to pick it up. I'll be waiting to watch the rest of your review with baited breath until then! :] )

    Just finished this game in preparation for RE 8. GOD IT WAS SO GOOD. I've never been so fixated on horror like this since FNAF (weird connection but hush). It was beautiful and terrifying the more I went through it. Absolutely a masterpiece, and I'm hooked on the series now.

  • @grunkythegrandpaofcheese5241

    Everything about this video was made with passion, you can tell. The script, the production and the atmosphere. It's just so fucking sad that this channel doesn't get as much attention as it deserves. It's so damn good.

    Dude, you actually played through the game with that brightness level and exactly the way I played it for the first time when I broke and couldn't even finish the basement segment. Walking slowly and carefully, listening to everything. I was literally too scared and nervous to p[lay like that.
    For my second try 3 YEARS LATER, I decided to stream the game. It was kind of a coping mechanism. Even though nobody watched the stream, I talked to myself, joked about the events when possible, and pushed through not giving myself time to become paranoid. That way I actually managed to beat the game and boy, what an experience.

    I'm just glad that I finally got to play a horror game that actually gave me a weapon. I hate run and hide horror games, they feel so lazy.
    Also, the game kind of loses the scare factor once you realize how the game works. It happened to me on my first playthrough and I started to realize when and where I was safe.

    Love you, Resident Evil, and I love this video. Great work. RE7 makes me feel a lot better about Silent Hills never seeing the light of day. Still stings, but at least I can look forward to this franchise going in the right direction. I bet Konami is shitting themselves realizing that they could have been competing with this game with what was going to be, as I feel, quite a contender for a Capcom.
    Sorry to hear you been having a rough time. I too have had some issues I've been trying to get through. Here's to overcoming or resolving our obstacles in the most efficient, effective, and healthiest ways possible. Again, love you man, and I look forward to your next video. :-)

I really wanted to watch it again because it was that good but couldn't find the video although I searched for every possible title and thought the video was deleted.
