anyone play this and like it? i am going to check it out later but i have no clue what it's like. is it rpg or more like silent hill?

[balli]

I played it. I liked it. Gorgeous game outside of the cutscenes. Far and away the best lighting I've ever seen in a game.

I took a month long break right in the middle though and I think I would've enjoyed it more had I not done that. It's definitely not an RPG. I haven't played Silent Hill, but the game is creepy because of the atmosphere it creates. Sometimes, it quits trying to scare you and goes for all-out badass combat sections. I thought it was a way cool game.

this is all sorts of wrong!

this is one of my best friends and is a very respectful & down-to-earth dude. you are way off with your assumption that he is anything close to a "tool".

plus yall are just sad because most likely you're all a bunch of fuckin' losers who can't hold a torch to me or my friends.

good luck hating! i bet people hated on all of yall in school and probably still do to this day... looks like the internet is your only solace. fuckin' pathetic dickheads!

I didn't like it at all. So YMMV

[Xolotl]

The scenery as mentioned before is beautiful but the combat gets old very quick IMO....you battle darkness so you hit them with a flashlight first then shoot twice and repeat... there of course are harder enemies but generally thats what you'll have to do. I still had fun with the game and enjoyed how it was episodic

Spoiler alert

TBH, I agree. Although given the story and some of the other things the game brought to the table, I thought it was decent enough. And some of the tighter combat sequences (like the fight on the stage) were excellent, IMO. In general though, a lot of the fights were redundant. I tried to keep it fresh by employing a lot of slow motion dodges and tried to vary what weapons/light sources I used, if not flat out trying to get to checkpoints using as little as possible. In short, I tried to be stylish. I'd imagine the combat could also be improved by turning the difficulty up; plus that way you get the extra manuscript pages.

TBH, I really wanted to get into this game and I'm disapointed that I couldn't. The combat was just too boring to me that I couldn't maintain interest in it. Traded it in a couple days ago.

Game is kinda like a silent hill.. without being scary or creepy.

Horror games have gone to shit lately. Hoping the new Silent Hill brings the genre back to life but not holding my breath.
