This game is pretty great. Doubly so because I read the comic beforehand which gave more backstory. I seriously enjoy the fact that short of literally pausing the game, you aren't safe. One time I was at a bench upgrading my gear and I was thinking to myself "Well at least I could rush back in in a bind and open up the interface to pause the creatures" and then a fucking monster pulled me out of the interface and started beating the shit out of me. Also I've been sliced up a couple times while I was trying to shop.

The zero-g sequences are neat at first, but it's a little annoying to fight in there. And I'm just plain too scared to explore when I'm in a vacuum.

Yes this happened to me once. Except, I had no health left and hadn't saved for a long time. I walked into a room and was like yeeeeeeesssss save point and then I was ambushed and killed.

Then my roommate laughed at me and was like "hahah what a gay game".

Seriously the television is mine and I am considering saying screw him and moving the television to my bedroom locking the door so I can play video games with impunity. It makes me SO MAD especially because he like doesn't have anything better to do than make fun of video games.

EDIT: I just realized that saying "Fucking him and moving it into the bedroom and locking the door" is pretty gay!

I feel sorry for people who play games with people who ruin a nightmarish experience. I'd instead creep up on someone playing this game if it's dark, wait for it... then i'd GRAB EM' and see what happens. I actually did that once for Bioshock at that scene that was mentioned, I knew when it'd happen too now i'm not allowed near when horror games are being played at my cousin's.

I think what really makes this game so effective is that your not safe, even if your in your inventory and stuff (excluding the options and quit menus). The PC Doom 3 also had this. Your not "safe" when working with computers, and other electronic interfaces. I'm not sure about your hand held but I can hear movement and stuff in the background happening for sure in the PC version of Doom 3 plus I was too scared to use it when I thought enemies were close by.

I want this game so bad now...

A tool is a tool regardless. I mean if you suck, you suck, and not even the most perfect tool could save you. And if your damn good then even with the worst tool ever conceived you could chug out some high quality shit.

well i'm just dumb. i even read the whole topic the other day i just didn't remember. plus out of all the stuff i saw about the game i guess i never realized anything said babies etc.

but yeah i know i sound like i'm jerking the game off but idk it's pretty fun so far like i've already said!

i did get scared already but the zombie babies are way less disturbing now.

Well, I bought this today. I got as far as having to put the two claws in for the tram before I said "okay, fuck this."

I CAN'T PLAY THIS GAME AT NIGHT I NEED SUNSHINE.

Go on, call me a pussy. I can handle it.

I enjoyed this Game very much,
The Action was fastpaced and exciting.
The game looked pretty, The storyline was decent, Not the best but decent.
ATMOSPHERE OH YEAH!
It Didn't really bring anything new to the table, it combined afew gameplay aspects which was pretty cool. The slowmo and Grav-gun effect.

I Just wish the Npcs did alittle extra, you know to make it feel like you weren't the ONLY guy doing stuff.
Pending Fallout3 this may be my vote for best game 2008

This game looks fucking insane and if I had a console I would probably get it. Too bad my PC is far too shit to play this game. Looks cool though, I love games that scared the crap out of me. It's exhilirating.

Speaking of the PC version...

...has anyone here tried it? I keep hearing it's an horrendous port, and I want to know if it's really that bad on PC because I really want to play this

Well, I haven't play the game on either but I've read that the controls are really bad and awkward and some other random internet goer said that the lighting is much brighter in the PC version making it less scary. so yeah if you have the opportunity I'd say get it for the console... I'd get for my 360 but I lack money... and I really shouldn't be playing a lot of video games cause I got a lot of work to do... then again, I probably shouldn't be spending time on forums either... :P

It's good (it isn't a port at all, they make the games on the PC, the console versions are the ports, so to speak.). It's the exact same as on consoles except for 1 or 2 minor glitches they didn't resolve on launch for PCs (you might have your camera freak out if you have a joypad (especially a USB console one) and a mouse plugged in at the same time, and VSynch is locked at 30FPS instead of 60FPS for some strange reason). Really those are the only 2 problems with it, otherwise it works like a charm.

Warning: It has SecuROM however and limited activations.

good to hear

but man i wish you'd stop saying this

"(it isn't a port at all, they make the games on the PC, the console versions are the ports, so to speak.)"

every game ever is made on a pc

but it can be MADE to work on consoles and all

and console ports would be if they'd just sloppily take the code and just ADAPT IT so it runs on a pc and not just a console

dang

ie: they make them on a pc, but not necessarily for a pc

yes but this game was released on pc so they made it for a pc and tweaked it for consoles.

its really just like 2 bugs that they'll fix in a patch soon tho. the controller thing isn't too bad (unplug joypad = profit), but the vsynch thing IS annoying if you need vsynch.

...wasn't this released for the Console first?

Anyways if it's too bright it's cause your personal settings, re-adjust em'.

Yeah the game definitely was made for console.

Also it came out on consoles first, then PC a week later. If it was made for PC from the get-go, it wouldn't take an extra week to release it.

Yeah I guess that means they made the port to PC in a week. Nice thinking there.

A week means nothing. Nothing.

big thanx to dragonslayer for sig!

uh, yes it would! you do realize they have to make the game for about 213812903812903812903+ different hardware setups (consoles have 1 setup and that is it), test it on multiple setups in house on top of that just to make sure, make sure the game works right with the new drivers for all the new video cards, and QA it on all those setups just to be extra sure because PCs are stupid like that, do extra stuff for dual/quad cores if they want to to optimize performance, test it out on tons of videos cards, test various resolutions, test various DirectX/shader levels for lower end PC support, make sure the DRM is working right, etc.

Making a game for a PC takes considerably longer than making one for a console, but both are made on the PC.

Dude nobody really cares except you. Stop fapping over whether or not it was made FOR this system or FOR that system, it was made for both of them. I came in this topic to find out whether the game was good or not and what people had to say about it. Not all this bullshit that you are having a brain aneurism over.

now is the winter of our discontent
