Timing is super easy on survival, just tap it right before it enters the blue.
Only failed the very first one, need dat akumu timer, Dusk said it was like 1/2 the size.
It wasn't. I share the same opinion.
"HEY GUYS! Lets base the first chapter off of game elements like hiding! THOSE WILL GET USED A LOT!"
Everything else is fucking golden so far.

You've just changed me life.
Nah, but remember that you actually have to stealth kill them, i.e. crouch behind them while they are stunned.

I don't have a problem with black bars, I didn't even notice it at first but its always better to have options.

Haven't seen them since and I'm in chapter 9 now.
Sweet. Cheers
I find that punching them and turning on the light helps against them,and then try going for a headshot.
But yeah they are big bullet wasters.
It's so much better without those useless bars, will buy the game only if they patch the ps4 version to add an option for removing them, or when i will have a good enough pc to run it.
Yeah I'm kind of depressed at the amount of shotty shells I wasted on them.

I see no chance of this happening, it'd cripple the game on consoles I'm sure.

I watched Gamesradar review of this and I was surprised by what I found. I recalled the game being in a first person perspective when it was first revealed. Did the game also retain the random generated pathways so that no two experiences are exactly alike?

As someone who played The Last of Us, doing this was just instinct.
I always like to walk through a door and run around with it chasing me. Right when the door is about to close you run through it and the thing gets trapped on the other side. Then it proceeds to bang on the door until it opens... And then you shoot. Preferably with the shotty. Put's them on their ass and the door has enough time to close. Rinse and repeat if you can't find the body to burn while it's on the ground. I don't even know if you can burn the invisible ones like that.

The first time I encountered one I thought the game glitched, lol.
Door swung open, I'm aiming ready for a fight, and nothing. Then all the sudden the bastard is right on top of me.

It would look even more amazing on your 60" 4K LCD if it wasn't needlessly letterboxed!
I'm playing on a 50" and while I've adjusted for the most part it still annoys me from time to time. There is just way too much unused space that would be better suited to giving me a broader view of my surroundings.
I almost wish the thread title was 'BAD STEALTH TUTORIAL ENDS IN CHAPTER 3', maybe that'd stop people from quitting out after 15 minutes and coming in to complain.
Every bomb is another potential flash arrow. Also haven't fucked up disarming one yet, but I dread the day when I open that thing up and it's a tiny sliver of blue.
If it's like flash bombs, you can crouch from the front. I haven't tried bottles yet though.
I was waiting for her short range teleport before dropping my match. She'd reappear right in the fire.

Fuck I can't stand the FOV and letterboxes, it really cripples the game. I never had issues in Dragon's Dogma after a few minutes, it sucks here though.
I'm not feeling this at all, I'm at ch 3 and will give it another shot but this is coming off as a huge disappointment so far.
I had issues getting into RE4 at the first village encounter, and it ended up being one of my favorite games so I need to keep at this one.
It's part of the game, we have every right to complain.

Cool, never realized that. So yeah, it probably works just the same with bottles.
Yeah I just stood there and waited for her. The teleport is obviously there to freak you out a bit when she's approaching but it's predictable. Also bear in mind there's more to the fight than just burning her a bunch of times.
Use the flash bolts and they appear, then you blast them
Such as?
I died numerous times so elaborate. I know she can take damage from weapons also. I can manage to burn her about 4 times before shit goes south.
Edit - Like the Avatar.

In that PC fix, wouldn't moving the camera back make it even more jarring when you aim a gun? Or did they fix that also?
Ok I'm at the start of Chapter 6,in the save/upgrade chair place and the mirrors arent active....I cant get out of there to go on lol...is this a known glitch(PS4)...I didnt try restart chapter though which hopefully fixes this and since its at the start no big deal,just strange...

This is awesome. Fuck those shitty black bars and the "way it was meant to be played" BS.
Its supposed to happen. You have to go look at some
documents on the table in the back room. Stumped me for a bit too.
Yes you're right, it already struggles to run at 30fps with a third of the screen totally black.
Will play it on pc sooner or later...

Unlimited Capacity
The hell?
Okay,I did that,so I guess theres another one somewhere I am not seeing,maybe the X icon is in the black bars
j/k...Would buy the game if a FOV slider was patched on PS4.
Finished! Honestly, despite not being a fan of TPSs or survival horror games, I fucking loved it. Really liked the story and aside from chapters 6 and 11, it was actually fun to play too. Pretty massive surprise hit for me. Only took me 8 hours and 15 deaths since I was playing on casual and tbf, most of the deaths were because of the game. Like not being able to heal or shoot while crouching killed me like 4 times. So stupid.
Since there's been lots of comparisons to RE4 though, I think I finally really have to play that game. Hopefully any of the PC versions actually work, iirc the ports haven't been great.

I just burned the bodies right away so she wouldn't be capable of teleporting, and instead used both torches, oil drums and both fire pits to kill her in survival mode. Took a couple tries but its not big deal. Best strategy is to move to the right straight away, burn the body, get her to spawn and immediately sprint to your right into the fire pit room and up the ladder so you can open the trap before she catches up to you. Right down the stairs after that point is a torch you can immediately use on her, then use a match on body 2. From there you run across an oil drum, get her to come by and shoot it, then move into the next fire pit room. Once you've burned her, grab the torch just outside, use it and then run up the stairs to the next oil can and you're good.

Any particular way to beat the
in Chapter 3? As far as I can tell I need the
to open the gate.

You do. Two explosive bolts and a double-barrel shotgun blast killed him.
There's traps and shit in the environment, but the easiest way is to find the Agony Crossbow on the second floor of one of the buildings (not the barn). If you dismantle traps you get parts to make explosive bolts which fuck him up good. There's some harpoons lying around too, I'd imagine they hurt as well. It seems all the other enemies despawn once you kill him (or maybe once the gate is open?)

In chapter 3 I noticed I had the double barrel shotgun and loved using it.
I then found the pump shotgun in chapter 3 and now I don't see the double barrel in my inventory. Did the pump shotgun replace it?
No. While in the inventory menu hit square to switch to the double barrel. Same for your crossbow bolts.
press square when you have selected the shotgun in the inventroy to cycle through
Just completed chapter 6, and I'm loving the game so far. There are definitely some rough edges to look past, performance being numero uno, but this is just the kind of game I've been waiting for.
Actually took today, and tomorrow off work, with the main purpose being just to unwind and enjoy this. Going to take a short break now, then get stuck back in. I'll probably post lengthy impressions after I'm finished.

Thanks a lot! I knew about the bolts, but never noticed the "press square" prompt for the double barrel.

That Chapter 7 boss. Wow. Really frustrating even before you factor in the
.
Please tell me there's nothing else that annoying in the rest of the game >_>
poisonous gas and its ability to one hit kill you

Thanks good sir. 3 explosive bolts, a shotgun blast, and 3 shots from my revolver did the trick.
