Thread 712848271

I'm forcing myself to finish a video game and the thing landed on this. What am I in for?

think of it as a spin off from resident/silent games

It's actually pretty good if your system is much more new than the game.

a pretty decent game. Solid 7/10

>>712848271 (OP)

The city levels are a slog but overall it's an enjoyable game.

Also, the sequel is the superior game.

>>712848271 (OP)
That Mikami's a hack. It should be mandatory for all Japanese games to go through a script doctor to rewrite the dialogue so it's not as retarded.

is it fun horror or scary horror?

>>712848271 (OP)
Pretty fun game if you treat it as a wacky action game rather than a survival horror, kind of like the stupider sillier version of RE4. The sequel is still better though.

A hell of a choice if you're forcing yourself, this game kinda gatekeeps itself with its storytelling and "is it/isn't it RE4?" gameplay. Good first third, generally fantastic middle third, middling final third.

great game. autists hated it for no reason.

>>712849275

The only reason why Metal Gear Solid turned out to be kino is because the entire script was translated and localized by a single American.

When Kojimbo found out how much of his Engrish script was changed and improved, he was furious and now he doesn't allow anyone to make any changes.

>>712848271 (OP)
I only have Evil Within 2 and still have never played it

Some kino, don't bother too much about the story though

>>712848271 (OP)
Pretty decent survival horror. If you're on PC make sure you play the windows store or epic games version since they're new ports.

>>712849434
>tew2 is better
The mark of a shitter and shit taste

>>712848271 (OP)
>>712848271 (OP)
The camera sucks

you now remember that part.

>>712849275
>implying Mikami gives a shit about the story
he wrote re4 in like 2 weeks

>>712848271 (OP)
One of the few games that managed to get survival-horror aspect right. That being said, I fucking hate the amount of mash QTEs this game has.

>>712850367
Story's important when you're trying to do psychological horror.

>>712850578
if you're scared by evil within I think you might actually be retarded

>>712850691
survival horror design philosophy is different than just making something that is scary

>>712848271 (OP)
>I'm forcing myself to finish a video game
Why?

>>712848271 (OP)
Poorman's RE4 mixed with generic boring zoomer horror in terms of gameplay but really good atmosphere. It's ok/10

Like a jankier, slightly less fun RE4. Still well worth the play if you like games that get the adrenaline flowing.

>>712848271 (OP)
Good game, didnt like that doom-like monster wave scenario lol

>>712850869
The game does not feel particularly tense or make you worried about your inventory or health often, especially not when most bosses have one-hit kill attacks anyway. And it's hard to build atmosphere when the game feels like random setpieces with the tiniest bit of justification to tie them together. Don't take that as a pure complaint though, the game is fun as fuck but it's more of an action game than a survival horror game.

>>712850136
That isn't a difficult part.

>>712850578
>>712850869
TEW's survival horror aspects only work to the detriment of it's gameplay. Oh boy I sure do love restarting from a check point cuase I didn't do a section clean enough because minmaxing is a literal requirement when the game forces you to defeat every enemy to progress instead of picking your battles and simply avoiding them to spare your ammo. You know, like a good survival horror game.

>>712850136
Lame as fuck how he just shows up again in the last third for no reason.

protip: don't play the game on hard straightaway no matter how much of a hardcore motherfucker you think you are.

>>712851124
ur rite anon, the game doesn't have a journo difficulty setting

real talk; why didn't normies like this game, the story or characters or the gameplay or the setting?

>>712851197
b-but don't you get it there's two of them now didn't you play silent hill 2 to get this epic reference?????

>>712851249
I hope you're aware that "muh difficulty" is not a functioning argument in defence of bad game design. There are survival horror games harder than TEW that are designed smartly that don't have this issue. Difficulty does not simply make a game better in of itself. Difficulty can be designed bad or it can be good just like any other aspect. What makes TEW difficulty bad is that it's not scary to have to deal with the problems it presents to you. It doesn't make combat tense. It's just tedious. Good horror should always come before good gameplay in a survival horror game and in this genre good survival horror IS good gameplay and if you don't agree, you're a zoomer. Plain and simple.

>>712851124
>Glass bottles
>Matches
>Stealth kills
>Environmental hazards
>Agony crossbow
>Bear traps/tripwires
God forbid a game forces you to experiment and not just let you "stealth" your way through like a pussy. Weak ass nigga.

>>712851260
all of the above, it was advertised as a return to form classic horror game like RE1 and it was as far from that as possible, plus it was jankier than RE4 a game that came out a decade prior

>>712851545
See>>712851531 you can find the gameplay engaging, but it's bad survival horror.

>>712851260
They wanted RE 4 v3 and instead got a game that isn't easy and was actually spooky so that was no good. The letterboxing on release was bullshit though.

>>712851260
It was just RE4 again but less memorable and iconic

>>712851297
The last time I played SH2 I got filtered and spent an hour just aimlessly running around the apartments because I couldn't find the stupid flashlight.

>>712848271 (OP)
I found it to be very boring and dropped 3 hours in.

>>712849618
and yet every metal gear still has great dialogue
kojimbo has been a hack ever since death stranding thoughbeit

>>712851697
you weren't there pre-release because it was literally the opposite lmao, people were expecting this to be scary to fight against RE5 and RE6 leaning more towards action only to find out this had just as much action as those games.
>was actually spooky
please play more horror games

The real problem is the game isn't open world.

hopefully it's more fun shooter than super scary horror cause i hate all horror media. although fnaf can be fun when you're forced to play it on a 18 hour flight

>>712848271 (OP)
well anon this game, ( •_•) ( •_•)>■-■ (■_■) is a killer!

Are TEW fags the worst horror game fans? It's honestly insane how pretentious these faggots are sometimes.

>>712848867
This, Anima is a much better pursuer type enemy than Ruvik was in the first game. Whenever I died to her it never felt like there was nothing I could have done.

>>712851918
>please play more horror games
inb4 you tell me to play five nights at freddy';s or outlast trials.

>>712852110
kek I like that you literally just proved his point

>>712851965
its fucking evil out there, but theres evil within too... :U

>>712852164
oh shit I forgot soma! real gangsters play hell knight tho

>>712848271 (OP)
A mediocre game that gets sucked off because the Resident Evil guy made it.

>>712852050
Meh. I was actually relieved when the Anima showed up since it despawns every other enemy on the map while she's active. Those sawblade wielding amalgamations can be a real pain in the ass.

>>712848271 (OP)
It's a good game, I was thrown off because there was a switch from small city america to rural eastern europe but I got over it and the game is worth playing.

>>712848271 (OP)
7.5/10 Resident Evil 4 - like game. Not worth much replay unfortunately

>>712848271 (OP)
Decent enough TLoU clone. It's paced pretty well so you can fly through it relatively quickly.

>>712848271 (OP)
I love RE4.
I like TEW2.
I tried playing TEW1 like five fucking times and never got more than a third of the way through.
It's just an ugly game that's annoying to play.

>>712851918
>please play more horror games
I've been playing horror games since I was 11 and most horror games aren't really that scary. I'd say that for people who still find the horror genre scary, the Evil Within would be extremely disturbing to people at the very least, there is some good gore in it you have to at least give it that.

>>712853162
TEW1's biggest problem is it's just too linear.

why did half the enemies insta kill?

>>712852516
Plus there's the callback you get when you complete her quest chain. Sebastian even holds it like he does in the first game.

I liked this game. It grew on me. First few levels were neh. I even had to restart an entire hour long level because there was a boss I couldn't beat because I was fucking up my ammo.

>>712853204
More exploration and less setpieces would certainly help. Also get rid of the shitty stealth levels where you throw bottles and hide in lockers. Awful relic from that era of horror games.

>>712848271 (OP)
>What am I in for?
RE4 but mid

>>712853356
Artificial difficulty

>>712853702
That's basically what the sequel is.

>>712854030
Which is why it's better yeah

>>712850136
Actually pretty cool place to farm goo and parts.
Even on Akumu he dies to one crossbow and few bullets so the time it takes him to revive is enough to get the goo and dissable traps. Granted you have to be very careful.

>>712848271 (OP)
plqay the second one instead
first one is fucking shit

>>712852516
>Those sawblade wielding amalgamations can be a real pain in the ass.
Just kill em. You get more than enough ammo if you explore everywhere.

>>712852028
They're the Ninja Gaiden fans of horror games.

If you can get passed the first 3 levels that are horrid shit, the rest of the game is quiet good.

>>712848271 (OP)
The greatest Resident Evil, the ending city is a slog though.
People crying about it are self reporting bad players.
The second game is soulless slop.

I like the aesthetics of the first game more but it's pretty janky, has way too many scripted walking sections, annoying one hit kill enemies and not enough weapons. Shooting isn't really satisfying either.

>>712848271 (OP)
Upgrade Stamina and the Bolt weapon asap to make the game fun.

>>712854363
Plus once you get some damage upgrades for the sniper rifle it let's you delete pretty much anything from outside it's detection range in one to 3 hits. Which is good because the ammo for that thing is rare to find and expensive to craft.

>>712854396
Fitting comparison. You could replace Resident Evil with DMC and it would sound exactly like a NGfags talk about with their blatant persecution complex. When a fanbase can only talk about how supposedly difficult a game is I know it sucks cause if it didn't they'd talk about how the game is actually good instead.

>>712852050
rubric was really easy to avoid UNLESS you he appeared when you where in deep into the rooms and the only way out was a narrow hallway, at that point its pretty much game over

>>712853162
finally something mentioning the mass from thin air

>>712854675
>The second game is soulless slop.
Lily, where the fuck is lily!?
Fuck these fucking evil monsters!
GODDAMNIT McNeil!
[gets saved by sassy black spec ops woman]

Plus
>final boss is an actual cum monster

>>712854834
Yeah if you want to maintain any kind of stealth you are going to be relying on that crossbow. Plus it's ammo is cheap to craft, excepting the freeze bolts because the second component you need for that only starts showing up in the last third of the game.

>>712851260
Because they didn't use the better name: Psycho Break, in the west.

>>712854965
She wasn't black, she was some kind of Latin, her last name is Torres.

>>712848271 (OP)
TEW1 is an aesthetic masterpiece
TEW2 is a modern AAA slop with average visuals, ugly forced TAA, and braindead easy gameplay (it's a little fun at first tho)

>>712855197
My mistake. Have this webm as reparations for my error.

Lots of instant deaths.

>>712855345
You can't just call something "a slop", ESL-kun
It's like saying "a trash"

>>712855375
NP, plus Torres becomes significantly cooler if you talk to Hoffmann right after the scene where she, you know, and get her backstory.

>>712855505
thank you for teaching me, mister an American-kun

This still makes me giggle.

>>712848271 (OP)
Its beginning is a survival horror, but the game turns into Dead Space, i.e. a shooter with horror elements, around chapter 4 (when you fight through a gauntlet of traps and turrets with the bespectacled guy).

>>712855345
2 is a beautiful game you can't deny it.

all I remember it starts strong and goes downhill half way in
maybe I should replay it

>>712856746
it has its moments, but not when a huge chunk of the game is a generic town with nothing outstanding to it

>>712848271 (OP)
See through bra

>>712857128
It's main problem is that villain wise it's very front loaded. You have Stefano right out of the gate, and then Theodore just feels generic by comparison.

>>712851260
no hot girl

>>712857128
You forgot the concrete grey corridors that even FEAR would label as excessive.

>>712848271 (OP)
A game that doesn't have any right being as good as it is

I have both games thanks to Timmy, but only interest in playing the second since it seems to be closer to RE4

>>712860298
What? How do you even get that impression? It's 1 that's closer to RE4.

>>712860603
More action than horror? I watched some gameplay videos a few minutes ago, am I wrong?

>>712851697
>The letterboxing on release was bullshit though.
I'm even more fucking annoyed with how they forced the game to be in 21:9 but didn't do fucking 21:9 support.
Like, these niggers are forcing all people to play in 21:9 for no real reason yet at the same time making it a bullshit fake 21:9 that's actually just 16:9 with black bars so if you play on actual 21:9 screen there are black bars on each side.
If you want your le artistic vision to be in 21:9 then MAKE IT ACTUAL 21:9 YOU STUPID FUCKING RETARD, I'm still mad 10 years later even though there were mods to fix it.

>>712861161
TEW1 is RE4 and TEW2 is RE5

>>712861310
>If you want your le artistic vision to be in 21:9
The reason is to claw back some performance because tango had no idea what the fuck they were doing using idtech if you ask me.

>>712848271 (OP)
Really great game brought down by awful performance and bugs. Never play the sequel. No hyperbole, worst game ever made and I cheered when the company went out of business (for the brief time they were unemployed).

>>712848271 (OP)
Used to playthis game on middle school alongside state of decay 1, skyrim, and fnaf with frens, i remember evil within is 40gb in size, quite big at that time like gta 5 and it took days to torrent this game with that 10mbps internet connection. Now im 23, old and willing to die, why does good thing have to end bros

>>712851697
>The letterboxing on release was bullshit though.
I picked the game up when it came out, and dropped it almost immediately because the visual presentation was so garbage, did they actually fix it? I'm always surprised when people say they liked this obvious dogshit.

Just being real if your game is so fundamentally poorly presented, it's a good indicator you're a retard and thus the entire rest of your game is bound to be worthless, due to said retardation.

>>712861865
Well they patched out the letterboxing.

>>712854927
>dmcucks are malding in an unrelated thread

have you been doing heavy drugs or huffing toxic chemicals? you should be hitting your prime

>>712853395
Oh yeah, that too. Much like REmake 3's STARS outfit, the outfit you unlock for doing it is my default.

>>712850920
how else do you finish one?

dont listen to anyone in this thread - this game sucks complete ass if you have any taste or brain cells. also it runs like shit even on a good PC - had constant resolution issues because of its shitty cringe letterboxing that is allegedly
>patched out
(it's not)
the game is a million and one "scary" horror monsters thrown together for no fucking reason, and keeps any actual answers locked away in an even shittier DLC

wish the thing landed on skyrim or dragons dogma instead of scary game but atleast it seems to be worthwhile

>>712848271 (OP)
pretty good game, it's almost unfair at times but it's a lot of fun to master

its a fucking travesty microsoft kept the evil within IP

tango wanted to make a third game

Getting the achievement for beating it on Akumu mode was one of the most satisfying to get in a video game.

I was enjoying until ZOMBIES WITH GUNS showed up.
They can't put something in there that serves the same purpose like monster that shoots needles or something, no no no, zombies with guns.
Also didn't care for the autistic retard is here so run until he arbitrarily decides to not follow you even though you're in his simulation he could just fucking murder you whenever he feels like it.
IMMERSION!

>>712872116
I hated the earlygame but after you upgrade the crossbow it starts to get very fun.

TEW1 > TEW2

>>712848271 (OP)
i played through it for the first time not terribly long ago.
it's aight. it's definitely no RE4 tho.
some things I didn't like:
>accuracy tied to a stat.
>got caught on random geometry a few times
>has this whole stealth system but the game frequently puts you in situations where stealth is literally impossible. some enemies are scripted to automatically become aware of you, no matter how perfectly you crept up on them. some enemies spawn in and automatically know exactly where you are.

>>712851260
>It's too hard!
>The plot is too confusing!
It filtered them.

They'd just combined the best parts of 1 and 2, an Evil Within 3 could've been amazing.

>sequel is supposed to be a horror game
>it's actually extremely comfy

Is there any hope for a third game?

>>712877187
Maybe but would be a soulless game made with no passion like Allan Wake 2.

test
