Don't do it. It's always better to go in blind. Trust me. We know enough already. It's survival horror after all. You don't want to see it all and spoil it.

a huge rotating blade that beheads anyone standing, in hopes that the haunted that are chasing you lose their heads.. only to have one crouch below the range of the blade and make a beeline straight towards you with the sole purpose of grabbing you and making you stand up..

This is true and simple pushing O on PS4 puts it away.
Interesting, was this a load of a whole new level? Cause I've never had that sort of load time on a death ever. Also just for fyi purposes, I'm using factory standard hard drive that came with my PS4.

Still contemplating whether or not picking this up for PC or PS4.
Leaning toward PC since the game+DLC is $48 on GMG.

loads seemed to be only 10-15 seconds to me.

The first time they die in the video it takes 28 seconds from black screen to re-entering the game.
I've seen evidence in another video of a 10-12 second load time as well, so I know they aren't always 30 seconds long.
And is there a reason to remove your gun when out of ammo? A standard melee option which is only possible when unarmed or something?

10-14 seconds here.
Reviewers talking and playing a game at the same time doesn't make for the smoothest demo, but that video really did show what Mikami talked about in interviews relating to the game giving you just enough supplies to feel confident one moment, and then poor, injured and desperate the next.
Unfortunately GAF, Steam says it unlocks on the 15th in AUS/NZ.Just checked with my VPN.
Oh well, thanks anyways guys

"Killer is Dead: Just Like Suda 51's Career" <--- that's what the prick choose for a title, i'm glad the DISLIKES speaks for themself.
That idiot can fuck off with his career. That video he made pretty much is beyond braindead and offers nothing but his own white knight agenda into the "review".
Why would you NOT go with the PC version?! I Unless your pc is ancient?
It's cheaper on CJS cd keys

Yeah, it kind of is. As well as the save music being the same so far in every chapter. There are checkpoints when you reach certain places but there is also save points and as long as you're near the place, you can save as much as you want. The way you save/upgrade is pretty unique so I won't say how.

Quick shot in RE6 auto-targets (IIRC), so you aren't wasting ammo. I'm assuming TEW uses traditional blindfire where accuracy is compromised in favor of immediately firing without taking the time to over-the-shoulder aim.
edit: if the reticle disappears when the gun is unequipped, I guess that's sort of good, although it seems like a real dumb idea not to have a gun equipped.

Most people will want to holster it, I do it always, as much as I can because it takes away the HUD as well which it makes it so much more immersive.
Hmm, that's what I feel like I recall hearing/reading. Man, I still wish we could get a game like this built around that "run" mentality. Waiting for the day we get one of those 2-3 hour A-rank run games again, but I guess that ain't happening anytime soon. Oh well, this game looks/sounds really cool at least.
It is heavily recommended to never use CD key sites. Users often run into problems with region locked games, stolen keys, or chargeback where the keys are revoked from your account.
There are other issues as well, but buyer beware using those type of sites, even if you have used them in the past. They are banned sites on GAF, so refrain from talking about them here or recommending them due to the above issues.
Hmm wasn't aware of that. Thanks for letting me know.
Where can I see a list of the sites that are banned on neogaf so I don't mention them again
Thanks

Lords of Shadow was a long game, but I thought it had a solid, story driven three act structure that was tonally consistent all the way through. The first three chapters were kind of slow, but I thought the rest of it was great. My complaint about RE4 is that it starts out with a solid horror theme, but keeps throwing in whacky, random elements and by the 2/3 point I thought it could have been wrapped up into a nice, tidy package. Maybe I'm just not making my point clear enough, I dunno. For example in RE4 for no reason other than "we can" they have this bizarre, random underground mine cart sequence. Lords of Shadow doesn't really deviate much from its established tone. You have the first third, which is about Gabriel's journey, then the second stretch which involves reaching the castle, and the final stretch which is about Gabriel's personal descent. RE4 just kind of keeps going.
But I know I shouldn't be talking shit about other games since I liked Lords of Shadow. My bad.

Nope, I haven't even played it outside of what I have played at PAX. I've just been reporting others non-spoiler impressions and created the spoiler topic to get a necessary evil out of the way. I know some things, but been pretty okay at avoiding many other things.

It wasn't because of any spoilers. I mostly skimmed it anyway. I seriously do not let myself succumb to the massive levels of hype you can see on gaming forums, but holy shit; I may have made an exception.

Closely related to peer pressure.
Fuck that noise. So what if it wasn't the "traditional" Metroidvania and played closer to a more skill based God of War? I happened to love LoS and to a lesser extent LoS2. The first LoS was better than GoW 3 anyway outside of production.

An hour ago there was nothing.
Yes it's on now, im downloading right now.
Faith in Sony & Bethesda restored.
What timezone are you in where an hour ago was even close to the end of the day?
There's no maintained list but if a site has been blacklisted the URL will be replaced with asterisks. E.g. CJS: http://www.****************/ To clarify, you won't cop a ban for discussing/mentioning key resellers, however recommending them as a purchase option is something that is discouraged for the reasons Grief mentioned.

Dunno had my ps4 in standby and had the evil within set to auto download. Just checked and it was.

You were always one of my favorite posters. Not anymore.
Well, you're still one of my favorite posters, so fuck you.
I understand how people feel about RE4 but I'm not afraid to share my more negative thoughts about the game. I think it's a pretty awesome game overall, but when I replayed it recently I was extremely fatigued and felt like it was way too long and could have been much tighter-- therefore, despite a pretty strong first half or so, pacing wasn't one of its stronger points to me.
Blows my mind, it's literally the most perfectly paced game I've played.Well, you're still one of my favorite posters, so fuck you.

Good for you, don't be afraid to share your thoughts no matter how crazy it maybe.
You are still a favorite don't worry.
Yeah, after the castle I was just slogging along. It just wasn't want I expected from RE, but at least I had fun for a portion of the game.

And it's fine to think that. I don't think anyone is ridiculous for disagreeing. I just think it's full of bizarre padding which seemingly only exists to make the game longer. The game could have easily ended at the castle with a great story climax but instead you get out of the castle and there's... another big tower and a mine cart section and another big tower and a giant Salazar statue and then they decide that's not enough so they high-tail it to this random island full of mercenary zombies and shit and it goes from being one thing to this other thing and once you're there it just keeps going longer and longer and longer.
Sorry. I don't think that's good pacing. I think it's a severe lack of restraint. Again, I don't think pacing strictly means how fast something moves. Pacing encompasses a lot of different aspects.

My PC is rather recent.
I've just been picking up certain multiplatform games for PS4 just to play it more often.
Though I must say I'm very curious to see how it performs on PC given their recommendation specs.
