Resident Evil 7: Biohazard fans can now learn more about the game’s characters thanks to the two Banned Footage DLCs. The Banned Footage Vol. 1 DLC features three episodes: Bedroom, Nightmare, and Ethan Must Die. As a player, your task is to guide a helpless cameraman to escape a room where Marguerite keeps him tied to bed as a hostage.

The Banned Footage Vol. 2 DLC offers players a heartwarming perspective on the Bakers. You’ll learn more about the family and understand how they become vicious monsters.

Unfortunately, many players are rather disappointed and wish they hadn’t bought the DLCs.

RE 7 Biohazard DLCs – To buy or not to buy?

Players report that the quality of the episodes sometimes leaves a lot to be desired. For example, the episode “Daughters” from the Banned Footage Vol. 2 DLC is worth every penny, whereas the other two episodes are not that interesting.

Hi, can i refund season pass from re7? i am biggest fun of re series, main game was totaly awesome, like good old games, but DLC is bad joke for me. I dont wanna pay for good 15 minutes of gameplay sisters chapter and totaly useless other modes for me…

As a quick reminder, Season Pass content cannot be refunded, regardless of whether or not the included content has been downloaded.

Many players also complain that Tape 21 is rigged. They suggest that Lucas’ game relies of cheats, which is understandable to a certain point. Lucas needs to win so that the game keeps its story line. However, gamers say that when playing against regular survivors, there shouldn’t be cheats programmed in.

I’ve seen the game get 21, 3 times in a row so far. The chances of that are literally, astronomical. I’ve seen the game throw down like 5 Trump cards at once at the start of the round. […] when you’re playing against regular survivors, there shouldn’t be cheats programmed in. They shouldn’t get special or more cards just to beat you without a chance.

This needs to be addressed pronto. I’m sure someone in the development department thought it would be a funny joke, but people don’t pay money for this crap.

Players also report they can’t install the Banned Footage DLCs due to various error message. Some players who bought the Season Pass are asked to purchase the DLC individually. If you can’t install the DLCs, try unchecking and then checking back one of the Banned Footages.
