Finally managed to get back to it after a hectic week. I've arrived at Brookhaven Hospital so it seems like a good time to take a break. Random thoughts (I don't think there are any major spoilers but still, just in case):
- Overall, this is excellent - it's certainly one of the most intense gaming experiences of the year, which is how it should be.
- I loved Wood Side and Blue Creek Apartments, particularly the latter. So immersive.
- It's definitely putting me into that survival horror mindset - do I melee or use ammo? If I melee, chances are I'll need to use more health (turns out I'm shit at dodging). When am I next getting health and ammo? To be fair, I've never run out, just come close. My strategy in the end is shooting Legs McGee and battering Armless Puke Cunt. And trying, unsuccessfully, not to get hit.
- Love the puzzles. They are daft as fuck, which is how they should be. I have no recollection if they are the same or even similar to the original. It turns out the only things I remember are the monsters, some locations and the NPCs. Eddie...ah, Eddie.
- Maria's chit-chat is irritating as hell. Yes, I know I'm going the wrong way. I'm exploring - which the game rewards you for e.g. the garage jack bit. I think there's a fair bit I've missed too.
I might put in a few hours tomorrow but that is definitely me done for the day. |

This gets going at Woodside Apartments, doesn't it? Up until then I was wondering what you were all so keen on, but it really gets inside your head at that point. Think it's the flashlight and sound design. Very good.

Christ, to quote the cat, this sounds like a 12 change of underwear trip |

Ha, I was expecting more in the streets. The enemy design doesn't do anything for me when it's in full view but turn the lights off and give me a shit flashlight in a claustrophobic and labyrinthine level with creepy sound effects and you've got me.

Fucks sake. It's got that beautiful link between enjoyable and downright mental. It was exactly the same with resident evil village 7 in vr. I can't stop myself but at the same time, I know I'm going to lose some sanity  |

It is also obligatory to keep mashing R2/RT for a good solid 30 seconds after each enemy is dead. Just polite, really. Ha, very true. I have, on occasion, found myself accompanying said mashing and stomping by involuntarily shouting "so you like this, do you, so you want some more? How about this, puke cunt?". Politeness. Catharsis. Politharsis. |

I then just randomly attack long dead bodies when I pass them again. Just to be sure. |

Personally felt it didn't really get going until the Hospital for me. I'm in the prison now. Enjoying it, but feeling like this game's gonna be a bit overly long as i'm like 7.5 hours in already. |

I don’t know what’s more scary. What is in Woodside Apartments, or the angry gamers annoyed at micro stuttering.

Yeah, Brookhaven is beautifully done. Just a brilliant level. Surely the game has peaked now, though. I certainly don't remember any substantial, great levels beyond this in the original. I do remember rowing across a lake for 10 bloody minutes. |
