This game isn't even borderline mature it's full on cray cray.

It's almost non playable without 5.1 speakers, I don't think I could go back after playing this game.

Why not without 5.1 speakers? I haven't played any gameplay yet because I'm letting my brain act bitch made and scurred.

if you have two speakers in front of you and behind you it's easier to tell where the enemy is coming from
videogames are the one place these things work 100% of the time correctly

I just got this.. so far the first guy I tried to stab in the bag turned around with a machete and chopped my head off.

It's gonna be that kinda game, huh....

Can't say I'm a fan of games where if I stab you in the neck you can turn around and chop my head off in one swoop.

But we'll see how this goes... I'm pretty sure I get a gun at some point because it talked about aiming and what not... so I'll keep truckin. Not really too creepy at this point but very fucking gory/bloody

update: Seems like it was just the first guy you couldn't kill..... so far everything else has been. Not sure what I think about it so far, it's okay, not really scary so far and I wouldn't say its particularly hard but ammo seems to be extremely limited

:lol: I just went to the wikipedia article and found this
Quote:

Believing that the tropes of the survival horror had become predictable over time, the design deliberately attempts to make the player feel powerless by taking place in confined spaces, limiting ammunition, and presenting near-invincible enemies that promote running and hiding over engaging in combat


I'm not sure if it's supposed to be implying that Evil Within is somehow different than fairly standard survival horror games (Amnesia, Penumbra, etc) other than it actually gives you weapons and the ability to fight, but just makes them totally useless. Sounds like they didn't stray too far from the 'predictable game formula'

I got to chapter 3........so far I'm honestly not having that much fun. I was expecting a bit more to be honest, hoping it to be more of a resident evil style game. Kinda disappointing really, this game reminds me more of "Outlast" than it does Resident Evil, and that is not a plus. Not to mention it's capped at 30 FPS on the PC and it's painfully obvious... even though my rig could run this game on 60 no problem.

I'm honestly done for today....that is how bored I've gotten. :shrug:

They said they wanted to focus on the story but fuck, I don't know what the fuck is even going on still

I read reviews saying the story was just a cluster fuck, and the ending was just pffttt. I'm easily amused with any game that can be even remotely scary or anything like that. But there are MUCH better games on the horizon.. Silent Hill, the resident evil remake ... probably another resident evil.. a few others but I can't remember.

I mean so far it's just been a whole lot of nonsense, in terms of upgrading your character and in terms of the actual story. None of it even makes sense. I won't spoil it to anyone who wants to try out the game but just be aware it's definitely NOT a "omg this game is flippin amazing"

I mean maybe to someone this kind of game is fun but.... :shrug:

This is why I try not to get games on day 1...still that shiny toy syndrome gets to me every once in a while.. this time I may have been burned.. Worse part is that I did digital, I won't make that mistake again.

This is why I generally wait to hear personal feedback on a game before jumping on it..
Unless it's a title I've been following the development of, or played in Alpha/Beta and am very interested in.
My coworkers aren't very happy with it either. I'm not even a fan of the uber horror genre games in the first place so I'll probably pass on this one..

Normally when I get a good game I get sucked in for at least a day or two but damn I played maybe 2 hours and said "Fuck, this is probably going to be like this the whole game"

And it certainly followed. I tried to play again for an hour and meh. I am not impressed. Oh well. :shrug:

Meh I like it, it's different. I got up to chapter 5 on survival. Might play again later when it quiets down.

I beat LoU in two weeks because of how much fun I was having.
This game is like that without melee kill's really, punching them in the face only seems to stun.
You start putting things together in chapter 3 though so by 4 and 5 you know how to conserve ammo.

Maybe the game was hindered by last gen, when he opens the door slowly I figure it's so you can creep around but on the ps3 and x360 he probably does that so the room loads.

Alright.......I'll keep playin if you say it becomes a bit more clearer because so far it's been one clusterfuck of clusterfucks :lol:



I don't really like the shooting in this game, you have to be seriously damn close to get an accurate shot

Well I'm somewhere near the end of Chapter 5 and nothing makes sense still, apparently this is about 1/3'rd way through the game or so. (15 chapters)

I really don't like the spider legged bitches..........god they are nasty

I went ahead and just spoiled myself a bit about the story and now I'm seriously going wtf after finding out the actual storyline. A lot of things don't even make sense still and apparently it's all because it isn't suppose to

This game is just a clusterfuck apparently from start to end. I don't think the gameplay is good enough for me to finish this game anytime soon... I think I'm done for awhile :lol:

seriously though, 5 feet away, shoot right at the head, straight up misses when ammo is scarce enough as it is......the game can go fuck itself
