Homer Thompson Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Theres no way I'll get through 20 hours of gameplay ... so Im ignoring the IGN review that said its too long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunglebonce Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Pre-ordered from Simplygames on a whim after the reviews came in. Already dispatched for some gameplay tomorrow night! Could be too scary for me though, considering I lasted 2 mins with the PT demo and couldn't even play FEAR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chupacabra Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 Gamespot and IGN are the two sites I find most reliable for reviews, Gamespot has given it a 6. No thanks. Your loss. I find Andy Kelly is pretty good for them, I'm basically going on his opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackie The Staggie Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Gamespot and IGN are the two sites I find most reliable for reviews, Gamespot has given it a 6. No thanks. There seems to be a wide disparity between some scores, have seen 5's been given out and yet some that I follow have been giving huge scores out.....however from this gameplay section I'm looking to get this asap. (also I'll be playing with all the lights on......I mean all....I'm talking floodlights being brought in to light up the whole estate......no shadows anywhere) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldnt trust IGN to review a toaster. They sell reviews to the highest bidder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 I came into this thread with my eyes hiding behind my fingers, I'm desperate this game isn't awful. That said, if it is, at least the Evil Within is out the following week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, if it is, at least the Evil Within is out the following week. The thing is, the majority of reviewers have been very positive. Just strangely a couple of big sites have slated it. I don't quite know what to make of it all. Still has about a 85% score on gamerankings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunglebonce Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Played around 90 mins (I guess) of it today. The atmosphere is so rich and tense. I'm not far enough into it to fully judge yet, but the sound is very well done. Cut scenes are quite choppy, the voice acting is barely passable post-The Last of Us, but nonetheless I'm pretty impressed so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Ashamed to say I've not seen this film yet. Shocking I know. Plan on watching the flim then getting the game on Tuesday :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Actual review of gameplay by P&Bers are the only reviews I trust! This. P&B has a smallish but pretty damn reliable cross section of hardcore gamers. There are no agendas that you'll see from review sites. Most of the games I buy are based on P&B reviews.

Ludo*1 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 A lot of the comments from the reviews I keep seeing repeatedly state that the game is 'repetitive'. That'd be a pretty big stumbling block. Also seen complaints about the poor save system, which I kind of like if it's more like the old fashioned Resident Evil style of saving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im also a bit concerned about the save system. I dont like games I cant just stop playing and pick up again from where I left off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont like games I cant just stop playing and pick up again from where I left off. I get that point of view, but I think a checkpoint style system leads to a disconnect, a chapter style game isn't my cup of tea either. The game should be about surviving and part of making that work is making the gamer fear that if they die here or they make the wrong move, then there will be consequences rather than simply going back 2 minutes.

54_and_counting Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 The thing is with this game is that you could be evading the alien for a few minutes before dying, so where does the game start from again If it loads you up in the middle of the chase then you could simply die everytime The checkpoint save works because when you save its always at a safe point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The alien moves so fast that if you're seen you're dead in seconds anyway and wouldn't have time to save it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or on your fuckin' knees... begging? I ain't much for begging! Nobody ever gave me nothing! So I say *f**k* that thing! Let's fight it!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Again, like the old Resident Evil games, a room or a place where you're completely safe. If you need to save, quickly work your way back to that room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see what youre saying, particularly about the "safe" place. It could mean having to replay the same area over and over again though - although if the Alien AI is random that might not be such an issue. Its a purely selfish point of view, to be honest. The days of having the time to say "I'll just play to the next checkpoint" are long gone for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
