SolidSnakex said:Give some impressions people!
Lyte Edge said:It rocks, but feels a bit different than past titles, since everything is broken up into smaller worlds. Puzzles are easier, and I have yet to encounter one boss, so it's feeling a little easy to me (playing on normal).
SolidSnakex said:Sounding great so far. Since you're going to write a review i'll just ask 2 quick questions, what's your fav SH and how's SH4 comparing to it right now?

I am really starting to not like this game . The first half was so promising, and surreal which I was enjoying tremendously . Now, I feel like I am getting half a game for what bullshit they pulled . Its tedious, not any fun, and the only reason I am wanting to continue is to find out what happens next . If you were hoping for more exploration like in SH2 like me ... You're not going to get it if the current situation continues in the game .
From what I read in the past, there would be about 10 enviroments in SH4, they didn't lie but they also didn't tell the whole truth ... UGH .
The story IS good however, better than the by the book one in SH3 ... still at this point in the game, for me it doesn't make up for the above complaints .
I also got a hold of Spider-Man 2 early (same guy who sold back Psi-Ops early to my store...teh thief!) and want to write a little on that as well

The removal of the fog and pitch black environs in this sounds promising tho. The premise is actually interesting this time as well! Too bad all this talk of backpeddling may kill a potential sale.
Oh well, fuck this series...
Bebpo said:hmm, so without spoilers is pretty much 50% of the game backtracking? If so is the game still worth the import price in your opinion

dream said:Okay, I'm completely puzzledin the second trip through Forest World. What am I supposed to do after I put the wheelchair doll back together and find the secret ritual room with the book that describes the 21 Sacraments?

CVXFREAK said:Tell me about it. Good job maskrider.
maskrider said:What do you want to know ?
CVXFREAK said:Nothing really, it's just amazing how you've only had the game for a few days but managed to memorize a lot of stuff.

Lyte Edge said:Import for sure if you're a big fan of the series. If not, save that $25 and wait until September.
I wouldn't call it "backtracking," since you're NOT going back in the same way you would other games. The game is divided up into smaller worlds, and after going through them initially, you go through them again. The second time through is more difficult and some things are different. It also doesn't feel quite as tedious to me now, since you have specific goals, a full map to check, and it becomes clear very early on what you need to do to clear the levels a second time. Not trying to defend this either though, as some parts are annoying, particularly when you have to "lug the 'baggage' around" and can't take shortcuts. I've found that leaving said "baggage" in a safe room and going off and doing other tasks worked great for some of the worlds.
dream said:How far away from you am I, Lyte Edge? I'm trying to like this game but thisbacktracking really sucks[/suck] especially having toNormally I'd just throw my hands up and quit but I really want to see how the story plays out.drag Eileen around when all she wants to do is stand there and whack ghosts with her riding crop.
Bebpo said:Well UPS found my package at the last minute so I ended up getting mine today. I've just started the 3rd world and I was wondering something.
You said the game gets a lot harder on the 2nd run through of areas. I'm playing on normal and I'm already getting my ass kicked when surrounded by just a group of dogs. How hard is the 2nd runthrough? I want to be able to finish it ^^;; (note that I suck at all horror games).
Also how many worlds do you go through before the 2nd runthrough starts?
I love the story and the way it's presented so far. Can't wait to play more
SolidSnakex said:So is this game signficantly more difficult than previous SH's? I see people mentioning that they're running low on energy alot or just dying. I don't think i've ever really had those problems in previous ones. Did they up the difficulty that much?
Lyte Edge said:Are you using the steel pipe and using the X button to dodge when in combat mode? I find that running up to most enemies first and wacking away works great...I run like hell from ghosts, though. I had plenty of times where I had no health and no health drinks though, but managed to get through it all okay.
