Alone in the Dark/Inferno [360/PS3]

[Synthesthesia]

STILL stuck on that bit Can't find any help on any forums or anything, getting really annoying now.

Nevermind, figured it out last night.

->Open Spoiler<-

I walked RIGHT next to the wall he was pointing to about 10 times, but it worked once. Gotta be glitched or something

Anyone else had problems with the game locking up? It's done it twice on me now, once just before you get in the car and again while driving the car.

Nope. My mate said his crashed at the end of chapter 5 though, but he reckons that's just his elite being crap.

I?m warming to this game with more time I spend on it, granted the controls do have problems and feels really clunky when moving around (even more so in 3rd person view).

The game does have some plus points its feels quite cinematic in certain places and it all adds to the tension, I think the inventory works well and is a neat idea to do it in real time (I find it easier using the dpad to move around instead of the analogue stick) it does add to the tension.
Seeing something running towards you and then you having to rummage around in your jacket to get your gun or aerosol can & lighter out to take the bugger down. As most people have mentioned the graphics go from looking quite to a bit dodgy in places but I can forgive that.

My biggest problem at the moment with it is the amount of times it just freezes and I have to switch my 360 off and reload it, it?s happened a few times now I was starting to get sick of replaying the same bits over and over to get back to the point where it froze I thought I?d combat this by doing regular saves but I soon found out it doesn?t save up to the point when you did the save. What?s the point you letting you save the game if it doesn?t reload to the point the save was made?

Overall it?s not the best game you?re going to play this year but I wouldn?t say it?s the worst (that award goes to Jumper which I rented thank god), if you can pick it up cheap (I paid ?30 for the LE version) or rent it for a week I?d recommend it.

Wish I didn't buy this now, just played about 40 minutes of it and its just too fustrating, the controls, oh my they are awful.

This thread makes me sad

I bought it on the PC earlier, installing it as im typing this. Hopefully i will share more positive impressions. Just hope its not a lame port like the Hulk or Ironman, which were both PS2 ports.

I still haven't played it yet. Because it Fing uses Securom, it keeps giving me an error message saying a conflict with emulation software. Even though ive uninstalled everything likely under the sun!!!!

Be thankful you didnt try spiderman 3... god it killed my poor pc

Had another go at this last night and just couldn't get over the poor controls and the erratic camera. Sadly this is going to be returned

[SuperBeatBoy]

I still haven't played it yet. Im currently cleaning out of my registry.

Im also listening to the small soundtrack cd that came with it. The music is absolutly sublime reminds me a bit of E.S Posthumus & Ghost in the Shell (first film). So if anything is to go by, the music is at least good. O_O

[EvilBoris]

The music is very epic and worth of the game's cinematic approach

[Concept]

I was hoping this would be one of the surprises this year. Let's hope Too Human doesn't share a similar fate.

[mr_woo]

Well I didn't. It's got it's problems but it's hardly as bad as you're making out. I'd agree with the eurogamer review- it's a 7. Since when was that a bad score? Slightly average, sure, but apart from the bad controls and a few frustrating moments, there's not that much wrong with it.

The bad controls are what's killing it for me personally though, they are ****ing awful. And if the game controls like a pile of steaming toss surely that makes everything else about it irrelevant no matter how good ?

[EvilBoris]

I disagree, the controls are no way near as bad as everyone makes out. They aren't great but they do the job once you've got the hang of them.
There are numerous things that are really original and a first in a game of this kind, which I personally think is more important than the controls not being upto scratch.
