Alone in the dark - still on schedule?

[Soulja]

Glad i cancelled my preorder now.Might give dark sector a go instead

Sarcasm surely?

This game has a really great story, some superb set pieces, its just clunky as hell, but after a time you get somewhat used to it, id rather have clunky controls that a bland story etc?

 

[Doug]

I just can't get past the control problems, ejected it in frustration.

Might give it another chance tomorrow, if not it's back to Lovefilm on monday.

Have you hit the driving section yet?

I thin this game is so far pretty decent although I'm stuck on chapter 3, keep getting killed by some black sludge that's afraid of the light.

That part's a pain in the backside. Wait till you get to the park. I've stopped playing it now though. I'm getting too frustrated with the controls.

T.

Wierd i found keeping the black sludge at bay easy,use the torch, or set something alight, and walk along in the sludge with it? it backs away from light., Im in the park, whats wrong there? im having no probs? The whole point of the game is to use a bit of lateral thinking, to get past certain obstacles, creatures etc, it even gives you hints?

 

[R0B75]

I got past the sludge with glow stick thrown on the floor. I'm now on episode 4 and still think its a decent game.

 

[scottyboy]

are the controls still real bad even with the hotkeys assigned?

Yeah i think so too

The controls, i find arent that bad, once you get used to them.

I've only played through the first two episodes so far but Ive really enjoyed it. Takes a bit of getting used to ill admit, and the camera can be in a pain in the backside, but it's definitely worth a rental at least.

Not a patch on resident evil though, but I didn't expect it to be. Can't stop playing this and Top Spin at the minute and really need to complete Lego Indiana Jones

 

[KennyBhoy]

Urgh, playing through the first chapter right now and i feel sick. Motion sickness ahoy!

Where do i start from first impressions? Looks awesome, great action sequences and the bad? Controls are weird, camera can't make it's mind up sometimes, i managed to walk through a table when i was meant to push it and first person is gonna make me physically sick!

I shall persevere

 

[scottyboy]

whats tape for? anyone know? also how do u assign the hotkeys..no mention in the manual..

 

[R0B75]

I did it once by accident but I don't actually know how to assign hot keys.

Combine the tape with a bottle. I assume you can make stick bombs or something later

aka - Handkerchief + Taped Glass Bottle = Glass Molotov Cocktail
