gently caress you, he didn't spend both years and hundreds of thousands of pesetas for you to question his legitimacy as a medical professional.

Look just because he uses some unorthodox tools does NOT mean he isn't a real doctor.

I'm actually perfectly fine with Dead Space 3 pushing into straight-up action, because there wasn't a lot left to be scared of. Isaac knows how Necromorphs work and how to stop them as much as the player does, so it just becomes contrived forcing him into another rapidly-infecting ship and expecting Isaac to be afraid of it all for a third time. Stomping in prepared with weapons he's crafted to murder the poo poo out of Necromorphs makes a whole lot more sense.

They should've focused more on the body horror aspect, the necromorphs in 3 were supposed to have been undisturbed for hundreds of years so they could've gone all-out on their mutations.

You should absolutely play Obscure (and its sequel) 'cause it has the same kind of vibe as Until Dawn, it just plays different. It also has local co-op so that's pretty great.

Do not believe this man. Obscure 1 is decent but clunky and actually tries some interesting stuff with it's team mechanics and item combinations. Obscure 2 is just amazingly awful in pretty much every way, there's a retsupurae of it I'd recommend way before actually playing it.

Speaking of Obscure, anybody else ever play Final Exam? It was on Xbox Live Arcade, it's supposed to be the third game in the franchise and tie into the other two, except they went really cartoony and made it a side scrolling brawler; They don't really talk about the other games in it but there's a character from the other two Obscure games who's plot important in it and uses her special ability (filtering plant spores with her lungs, don't ask) to help you, so it's clearly the same character.

Frustrating at parts and the storyline wasn't all that great, but for that price there should be plenty of fun to be had with the game. It's generally pretty much RE4 mixed wih TLOU gameplay wise. Neat visuals too, I though the game was really pretty.

Interesting idea, I would like them to take it one step further and have it be true echolocation, having to listen for echoes. Obviously it would be exaggerated, but straining your ears while feeling your way along the wall would be creepy as hell.

$10 is about the point where full-price games are worth it more often than not. As much as I disliked The Evil Within, $10 is definitely the point where your time is the being wasted more than your money.

Whilst a cut-rate RE4, it's still superior to 5 and 6, in my opinion.

Six, yes, five, ehh. At least five's plot wasn't as dumb and it didn't have as many "waste all your ammo on intentionally unwinnable bossfights" sections, which were the real drawbacks.

I was so hyped in the first act of Evil Within. There was a lot of sneaking, disarming traps, a real sense of dread because you were in serious trouble if you alerted too many hellraiser zombies to your position. I think the eventual transition to full action wouldn't have been so bad if it felt any good. It really doesn't. Then again...

Co-op almost always makes games way more entertaining.

5 was better than 6 though.

At least 7 looks good.

Yeah, the co-op in 6 couldn't save it, it was boring from start to finish outside of the old school part with Leon (I think it was Leon?)

As a reminder if you liked the evil within at least a little bit, the dlc is seriously much better than just about anything in the vanilla game.

I haven't played The Evil Within beyond the intro but I like the game from afar. The atmosphere is either neat, like the mansion, or reminiscent of RE4's best action scenes. I can see the roughness in the videos alone including some guy who just chases and murders you. But I also enjoyed Shadows of the Damned which seems to share a lot of similar gameplay elements with TEW including invincible one-hit-kill enemy and a strange hybrid of slow paced puzzle-like action with balls-to-the-wall "WHY ISN'T THERE MORE AMMO?!" nonsense.

Keep in mind that the gameplay gets really different from the intro. Much like Resident Evil 4, you'll end up finishing the game with a lot more combat and often plenty of ammo to take care of business; it's nowhere near RE4's 100-round shotgun upgrade, but you won't be hurting too bad after a while.
