Just finished the game.

Hate to say it but I found that my opinion of the game dropped quite a bit after chapter 10. The best stuff all comes in the first two-thirds of the game or so, after that it felt a bit like the game was being stretched out, and some of the set-pieces and bosses were total duds imo. it also felt like there was too much reliance on trial and error at times.

I also don't think this will hold up to replays anywhere near as well as RE4 because of all the 'cinematic' stuff the game forces on you.

I'm glad I played it and there's definitely some good stuff in there but overall I wish that the game was more like the early chapters than the latter. They almost feel like completely different games at times. Solid game but there's no way it's going to go down as a classic. It's just not effortless or consistent enough and the story amounts to very very little in the end.

Imagine if Evil Within had a nemesis system.

Imagine if I could blow an Orcs head off with a double barrel shotgun.

Want.

Ok one niggle I have is opening doors, it does a preset standing walk animation for a good 5 seconds wrestling control from the player every single time

 

[Grief.exe]

Make sure you smash crates just like in RE4, though this has been streamlined. Just press F.

Ok one niggle I have is opening doors, it does a preset standing walk animation for a good 5 seconds wrestling control from the player every single time

I think if you press space twice it speeds up the animation.

 

[Lucent]

and just finished the game..... WOW... what a rush!

You have an hour and a half to get that review up. =x

lol j/k

 

[Chabbles]

Imo, Mordor is Goty.

Cant wait to give that a shot, think ill pick it up a couple weeks before GTAV drops.. too much to get through atm.

 

[TheRed]

Finally got 60 fps working, gonna stream myself playing early parts if anyone wants some to see some gameplay.

But the sneaky sneaks man!

good tip though, just like RE4 then

Ever played Silent Hill Downpour where you press the joystick to open the door further? That was a challenge at first. I'm fine with something like this, especially if you can speed it up.

 

[SlasherJPC]

How long did it take you?

Also, how hard is it? What are the difficulty options like?

I had to redo some parts so it shortened my time but it would have been around 15 and on survival.

Can anyone help me with a question on Ch 3?

Spoiler

I've been exploring this village and it tells me to get a Chainsaw. So I go lure the guy out and I'm not sure if I'm suppose to kill him or not. I don't want to blow all my ammo on this one guy.

I can't get anymore checkpoints and I'd like to stop for the night. Am I suppose to kill him or do I get him to break the chain while he's swinging? I've poured some serious agony bolts and shotgun shells into him and nothing changes.

Also, I'm sick of killing the same stuff over and over.

Thanks!

 

[Riposte]

goddamn man, are you loyal to no one

I need to experience The Evil Within for myself.

You can just shoot him but the town is also full of traps you can lure him into.

 

[Black Soma]

So, how shitty is the PS3 version? I noticed quite a bit of tearing in some videos... :/

 

[Skyzard]

i notice some texture pop in during the cut scenes

Once during a decapitation the textures for the head popped in ha.

I need to move this to the SSD and see if that improve that. Didn't happen much, most of it was awesome! Visuals are pretty damn impressive too.

[Teknoman]

I'd think a console port...I should be able to handle 60 fps with my current specs. If its one thing I dont like about playing PC games, its that i'm always unsure about performance.

 

[DukeBobby]

My only issue so far is that you crouch walk a bit too slowly.

Bloody enemies always turning around at the last second.

Speeding it up means kicking the door in very loudly, not ideal for sneaking areas which is all I've been in so far

Time to step that game up bru!

 

[SargerusBR]

On Chapter 3 so far, besides technical issues this game is damn good, the atmosphere is sublime.

 

[Teknoman]

Screw it. I can save a few bucks on the game by using GMG, so why not. PS4 will be satisfied with Alien, PC version Within lets go.

 

[Hypron]

Okay I couldn't access gaf today... I take it the game is available on PC already? Which regions do you guys leave in? Last time I checked it was not going to unlock until the 15th here in NZ D:

 

[KrayzeeGloo]

For people who have been playing with the PC version - how's gamepad support?

 

[Mango Positive]

Question about the very first hide & seek section (fucking trial & error):

Spoiler

hide in the first locker, hide in the second locker (hopefully triggering the "saw through doorway" animation and hallway trudging (which has happened 2 out of every 5 attempts)), hide under the bed, then what? He destroys me no matter what I do after this point. I've gone left into the room, I've gone right. I'm getting tired of the chainsaw kill animation.

 

[Larogue]

come on Microsoft unlock it already on xb1

 

[DukeBobby]

Thank God for toggle crouch. I hate games that don't have that option.

 

[Niven]

Anyone know if there is any difference between ps4 and X1 ?

You should be able to just

Spoiler

trigger him one way and run around the other way. That or stab him when you sneak up behind

 

[Bel_Air_Jeff]

For people who have been playing with the PC version - how's gamepad support?

also curious about this.

 

[Krusenstern]

Trying the stealth approach and it works so far. Stealth kills and saving up ammo. This game is tense and the atmosphere sublime. Ambient sounds are good.

*wolf howls in the far*

For people who have been playing with the PC version - how's gamepad support?

Playing with gamepad. Works wonderfully. Standard X360 controller support. Using Xinput Wrapper to play with my Dualshock 3.

 

[Squishy3]

For people who have been playing with the PC version - how's gamepad support?

Standard Xbox 360 pad support. No idea about PS controllers.

 

[SparkTR]

For people who have been playing with the PC version - how's gamepad support?

I'm guessing the same as pretty much every other AAA game from the past 5 years, plug and play with 360 controller icons.

 

[Badlucktroll]

Holy Crap this game is good. I love the atmosphere.

Environments look amazing in this. I actually am starting to like the filmic look it has. Maybe thats why they were pushing 30fps. It does look more like a movie at that rate, and the fps is a little more stable. They need to include the option in the settings though. To have to do a console tweak is stupid.

 

[Lucent]

Thank God for toggle crouch. I hate games that don't have that option.

Yeah. I had having to hold it down while also moving in a direction. Glad that's not the case here.

The art book has a great price on Amazon for the Kindle edition too. I preordered mine to lock in that price.

How you bros playing this already?

 

[~Kinggi~]

Shit, there's a toggle sneak? fuuuuuuuu

How you bros playing this already?

Steam flipped the worldwide switch by mistake and we all jumped on it.

 

[Badlucktroll]

Reminds me so much of Silent Hill 2. This is the real deal guys.

 

[fart town usa]

Yea,

Anyone have a ps3 copy? How good is it? That's the one i'm getting as well.

 

[Teknoman]

Hopefully someone comes up with a Dual Shock button icon mod for prompts. Actually button icon choices should be standard these days for any PC game that has controller support, especially if FFXIV of all games has it.

Not all of us

So if you die, you are put waaaayyy back.

How you bros playing this already?

Steam version is unlocked. If it is not unlocked for you then VPN to Europe.

 

[Northeastmonk]

They got lucky with time zones and PC format.

We're under an hour until the PS4 unlock!

When is the review embargo up?

 

[Skyzard]

Enjoy PS4 (and locked out PC) folks, you're in for a treat.

 

[Northeastmonk]

When is the review embargo up?

I copied and pasted from the review thread, looks like PDT.
