The Evil Within.
Yay or Nay?
What did you like, what did you not like?
>>322162210
mediocre game, after 12 hours I felt I was robbed of time desu.
>>322162210
Pretty good game. About as close as we've got to survival horror in the past few years. The only major complaint I have is that some parts were fucking insanely hard and just straight up bullshit.
>>322162210
It like a more hardcore RE4 with a more consistent Horror tone. What's not to like?
>>322162749
>About as close as we've got to survival horror in the past few years
excessive gore is not survival horror, game tries to be re4 with over the top gore and fails miserably.
>>322162970
Isn't that what Resident Evil 5 and 6 tried to be?
>>322163246
no.
>>322162970
Did Dead Space try being RE4? The Evil within doesn't really try to be RE4, as much as it tried to be a love letter to past Mikami games. Gameplay wise has a much different mindset.
>>322162970
You must have played it on easy or medium lol fucking scrub. On hard there was very limited ammo and health.
>>322162210
Tried way to hard to be the Last of Us but scarier, failed in both aspects.
Crossbow is a magic nonsense weapon so you have an excuse to craft things, and one of the best bolts is a fucking pre-order bonus.
All sense of progress and loss are meaningless because brain magic, but never happens in an interesting way; just like "you got to your goal! After a hard fought boss! HAHA nope fall through the walls and trip balls into the opposite end of the city 4 TIMES
Also the last hour is completely and utterly hilarious

Because he has a crouch mechanic? Doesn't really play like it at all.
>>322163886
It tried to be a few different types of games, mixed with survival horror. I know everyone on here talks shit about every game bUT honestly it isn't very good. If you can put up with extremely mediocre Gane play and cheap deaths, then go for it because it can be very scary.
>>322162210
I think the game would have been a lot better without having to disarm fucking traps everywhere you went.
>>322162210
I felt that it was trying way too hard to be like older survival horror games, but in the end it would have been better if it just did something new. It had it's moments though and I might pick it up again someday.
>>322163435
only survival mode and casual is available at the start though wasn't it?
I didn't really care for it.
The puzzles were cool but I didn't like the boss battles.
>>322165068
>implying he played it
This game even worth the $60 price tag? Or is it somewhere like, $20, $25, $30?
>>322162210
If you liked Resident Evil 5, you'll think it's ok.
I like it a lot. It's game that you have to play smart.
You are at a great disadvantage in the beginning. You don't get a lot of ammo so you have to understand how to make up for it. Using traps to your advantage. Using bottles to get in one hit kills. How to use matches effectively. And the game expects you to use your stats wisely. Otherwise it will punish you later. It also does something from other games (likeolder REs or Bioshock if you will) that I always loved. It encourages exploration but at your own risk. Sure you can just try getting to the next area as fast as you can and save ammo and health. Or you can take a chance and look for more "brain juice" and keys, they will help you a lot more later on. But, by doing so you could encounter more enemies, that can injury you or make you waste that ammo.
I think the problem is that there was two groups of people that were eyeballing the game. People who are classic horror fans. Like older REs and SHs. And the more casual RE4/ Dead space crowd. The problem is, TEW isn't like either of those games. Sure it shares similar gameplay traits but it's different. It more action focus than older REs but it's way, way slower than RE4. It's almost like you have to think about every thing you do because you don't know if you will survive the next level. It also had great art style, music and monster designs. I think it's a good game and could be amazing if it gets a sequel and irons out some of the kinks.
>>322162210
I watched my friend play through it and it seemed alright. Those box-headed fucks seemed pretty creepy and that sound that plays when you make a headshot is satisfying.
>>322165068
Yep. one of the worst parts of the game is the fact that you need to unlock "kinda' fun" mode.
>>322162210
it was flawed but still great
IdTech5 is a fucking horrible engine that bogged down the otherwise great game. I guess it made it so a level is all in one loading screen, but the poor performance and mixed bag of graphics don't make up for it. The artstyle definitely makes up for the poor graphics at least.
>>322163246
Evil Within might as well just be DLC for RE5 or 6. It's the same shit.
Felt like I was playing a reskined RE4 with a new story that made no sense.
>>322167929
I didn't have many performance issues but that whole aspect ratio thing was silly.
it was pretty much what I wanted from resident evil 5 and dead space 3
>>322162970
>excessive gore is not survival horror, game tries to be re4 with over the top gore and fails miserably.
Evil Within was more survival horror than RE4 dude.
Not only was resource management far more important, it had more horror elements and had you often flee or sneak your way past trouble to survive.
RE4 is a good game, but barely survival horror.
>>322162210
upgrade the fucking bolt guns

You're mentally handicapped. It's not even remotely similar to LoU.
It's a mix of RE4 and Silent Hill (which makes sense since designers and key people from both series were involved with making Evil Within).
Stop trying to pretend you're smart when you're just a massive ignorant idiot.
>>322168232
>story that made no sense
It made a lot of sense, almost nothing about it was confusing and everything was explained to you in the game.

>This game even worth the $60 price tag? Or is it somewhere like, $20, $25, $30?
Where the fuck would the game be selling for 60 bucks now? Even on PS4 it's like 10 or something right now on a sale.
But I'd say it is worth 60 bucks. One of the better games I've played in recent years.
It's around 17-20 hours long and has some replayability to it. The DLC is also good.
>>322169439
Not that guy, but there are a few mechanics that similar in both games, Of course this doesn't mean they are the same game.
>>322170234
Both are third person shooters and that's pretty much where the similarities end.
