I wanted to chime in here. There's a lot of opinions I see here and there about ".. who would be interested in a game where I shine a flashlight at monsters.. " etc.
If you've got even a remote interest in survival horror type games, and/or the Max Payne franchise (as I do), you'd probably get quite a bit of solid entertainment out of this game.
It had pretty solid writing (ala Max Payne), and the mechanics were well done, along with some pretty intense moments as the 'shadows' get much faster later on in the game. Add to that some great scoring and soundtrack (Poe, Poets of the Fall, etc) and I really felt I got my $40 worth at GameStop when I bought my XBox 360 with this title.
Seriously. Consider giving it a shot. Take a look at the MetaCritic scores, even. You might be surprised to see that not only the critics, but the community also thought pretty highly of this title overall.
I think, to pay $30 for a quality title these days is not a half bad proposition.  Add to that the convenience of Steam and likely upgraded graphics and content (aren't all the DLC included?).. what's so bad about this? Everyone cried about failing the PC community at launch - now everyone's crying about them "failing the PC community at launch" still. They made a mistake, they made up for it, admitting that they probably should have done this from the get-go.
Just my $0.02. I haven't posted on Blue's pages in years, but this one game made that much of an impression upon me.
If the game doesn't interest you at all - fine... why waste time on the article at all?  |
