The Evil Within by The Creator Of Resident Evil Shinji Mikami

Dunno how I feel about this game. I was so hyped. I'm up to chapter 5.

Not scary, but I like the atmosphere this game has.

There's also an obvious nod to Resident Evil in the beginning.

This will be my next game after Alien Isolation.

My first two next gen games are going to just be marathons of tenseness, grossness, and awesomeness.

I would like to do the same, but since my game time is down to maybe an hour or two per week, I don't see me getting through Alien before GTAV comes out for PS4.

I have a feeling once GTAV comes out I will be glued to that for a long time.

So after a day of playing it. Its a mixed bag. Its good, kind of addictive. But at the same time its very cryptic. Its more silent hill than Resident Evil. You need to find items you wernt told you needed, and you need to trigger events through trial and error. And gee the trial and error, EVERYTHING is out to kill you. Want to explore? Sure you may find XP. So whats around this corner? invisible trip wire BOOM. Hidden Bear trap, Snap! ... A Treasure chest? " hold A to open " *holds A* beep beep beepbeepbeep BOOM it was a bomb, there goes 40 minutes of gameplay. The aiming SUCKS. Its terrible. There will be an enemy so close to you its zoomed in on your screen so it nearly takes up the full image but your bullets will be flying passed its ears. Its really bad and needs refined if they ever do a sequel. Id rather sneak around than have to rely on shooting.

This is like survival horror Dark souls in some aspects. I heard the " save music " so i tried to find the area because i wanted to save and exit, i ended up trigger a cut scene, transported to silent hill demon world had to fight a horde of enemies with like 3 bullets then a surprise boss with no life or bullets. Hey, look its a race against time and you need to sprint! Lets face the camera pointing towards where you are running from so we cant see ahead.......... but set up an explosive trip wire infront of you.

Yet i still enjoy it. Ive got no clue what is what, who i am, who the guys are, what the story is. All i know is you need to work for your progression. Kinda like the upgrade system though.

And theres gagillion RE references and homages.

Why not both?
I'll probably pick up both once I'm back in college.

Iv spent a ton load of money this month lol. Was thinking of trying to hold out to far cry but I fancy something new.

 

[krec9]

Waiting for mine thru gamefly should be interesting enough.

Its a good game, just dont expect to take your time, be careful with item a management and avoiding combat, and to not die and be in general good shape. Because after the early stages of learning the basics the game starts throwing BS at you like hordes of enemies, invisible enemies, enemies you literally cannot kill but must escape.. yet its set up in a fashion to make you think your supposed to fight and youd never know you were supposed to run until you get so bored of dying you backtrack random area to discover a door has opened.

It feels like a game designed to enjoy on you 2nd play through. And i will play it a 2nd time, know what i know from my first time around and then i can be more objective.

Has this game been patched as yet on Steam? I really want to get it, but not with all of the glitches that were reported by some users .

And I just started to look at some PC reviews of this game....not good.

Just went through some reviews for this on steam, I'm so happy I didn't blind buy! What a shame.


The Evil Within on Steam

Oddly enough, I was just telling one of my friends about this last night. It's really a shame this looks like another broken PC port. I guess I'll hold off for now. If anything, I'll just get the PS4 version when I get my console in several months.

Well, you can just....you know...

I used to do it. But I find myself loving originals and digital copies more because of the ease in support and updates. And season passes. Steam FTW. PC Gaming Master Race FTW.

On another note, I kinda like your early review Kiva. Cracks me up lol

The graphics seem to be downgraded from the current-gen console release. There's also stuttering, 30 fps lock, and a host of other problems that are reported. There's some pretty mixed reviews on Steam right now.

graphics arent really an issue, they may be lower Res but i dont have any reference personally. But honestly its not that kind of game, its dark, grainy. You wont be looking at wall textures as it rains to look at the detail on the flowing water over the rocks.

Stuttering is an issue though. I started playing games on PC given the option because i can mess about with the controls and make the framerate nice and smooth. All my "ps3/360" games on the pc look next gen. However Evil Within runs like a Ps2 game. And, to ironically give homage it plays like a more stuttier Re 4 on the gamecube.

 

[DarkMario616]

Omg the invisible enemies are such bs btw.

 

[Matt S]

No way this game is Dark Souls hard.............playing chapter 2 before bed. Game like this needs a few things: play at night or in dark; play with headphones; clean underwear

So my package was out for delivery 11AM this morning but now it's back at the postal facility "On Hold". Interesting since someone was home all day and my games are just usually left in the mailbox since they don't require a signature.
