That's a great deal - the DLC is really good too. The first one makes the whole story much easier to understand and in the second one you get to play as the giant box head enemy in first person smashing people heads with his giant spiked hammer - really good fun. Awesome game all in all.
The story is a bit weird and hard to follow but for me that just added to the atmosphere and the general feeling of WTF throughout the game. Also if you've ever watched an Asian horror film (not the American remakes) the story plots do tend to jump around rather than follow a simple sequential order and keeps you guessing as to what exactly is going on. This all then leads up to a big impact at the end when it does reveal the full story. The Evil Within follows this kind of format and is something us Westerns aren't used to with our mainly mainstream American and British made movies - I also think this is the main reason it isn't as highly regarded as it deserves to be. Anyway - after playing the first 2 DLCs (The Assignment & The Consequence) the story is fully fleshed out and revealed. These two DLCs are also really, really good - a shift in gameplay to more stealthy tactics which isn't normally my thing but it's really well done. My message to anyone who has played or stopped playing it is to put the story to one side and enjoy the game - all will be revealed in good time...
No I think he's still involved. This article in relation to The Evil Within 2 draws reference to him: http://www.pcgamer.com/the-evil-wit...ffering-of-fallen-hero-sebastian-castellanos/
Yeah the gameplay in the first level in particular was not reflective of the rest of the game and I've heard of a few folk who gave up based on that first level - shame as it is cracking game.
Oh boy this looks awesome!
That was definitely a mistake they made. I suppose at the time of release Resident Evil 6 was getting slated and games like Outlast were enjoying success - a bit naughty really given the game is nothing like Outlast after the first level. I also think they and people generally underestimated the popularity of the later Resident Evil action/horror type games, it's just that the hardcore original RE fans were very vocal in the distain for the path the franchise went down.
