This is what has been missing in my life. Finally, a reason to live.

I really hope it captures the feel of the original RE.

So after there are alredy 5 Evil Within threads Carson starts an "official" thread

I'll pick this up during the next Steam sale. I refuse to pay full price for games anymore. Unless a spectacular MP game comes out that all my friends will be playing

This is why I don't trust reviews. You think at least some of the "cons" would be the same from review to review.

Plays like Last of Us and Silent Hill combined. They weren't kidding when they say ammo is scarce. I've been knifing like a mofo

Starts out fun, but it's slowed down considerably. Lots of reviews say it picks up after chapter 3 (which is where I left off). We shall see. Really like it so far

Camera sucks arse though

ign gave it an 8.7 which means it is 3/10 of a point from "must buy"

So now I have to make the choice myself...hmmmm

these are the reasons i just wait for a sale

recently played a game with great reviews. the "ending" ruined the entire game (which was mediocre to begin with). I paid $4-5 for it, so no biggie

If I pay $60 for a game I can't grind thru more than an hour or two...I get upset

none of that deters me...It looks like it has plenty of meat as far as time. it looks good, it is a 3rd person singleplayer (pretty much the only games I play) and it is tense.


The story though, by all accounts it seems to be lacking a bit. The stealth is allegedly clunky or inconsistent, and all I've seen is constant action. Is there any brooding silence and undiscovered horrors or is it just a mad house you're running through?

I'm going to get back in to Outlast soon. It's had a few moments that made me jump.

It has a great atmosphere and I haven't felt any clunk in regards to stealth mechanics. Some reviews said that they'd randomly get spotted while sneaking up or hiding, but i haven't had that happen. Controls are a little clunky. Hurts to hold R1 down to sneak. Wish it was toggle

My only complaint. Besides that, I am having a blast playing this game. The intro was legit scary.

Looks like this game isn't getting as much love as I thought it would

Could be because the Gaming Board is barely a shell of what it was too though
