I am not enjoying Evil Within, at least the awful intro, it's like all the worst tropes of modern horror games. Takes forever to get going, forced slow walk segments and tedious animations for everything, unskippable cutscenes constantly interrupting. Braindead stealth, corridor auto checkpoint design. Horrible FOV and visual filters. Protag muttering "shit..." every line of dialogue. I can't believe this is the Mikami I love for the snappy arcade pacing. People rightfully criticize nu-RE or Sony games for this bullshit that kills replayability. Does it get better now that I've got a gun and sprinting?
I recently played it. Game is kino and you're a faggot. Very few horror games throw you so many varied gameplay scenarios
Did no read
>>737552794>gameplay scenarioYou spend the first 30 minutes limping in corridors and hiding in lockers. It's as awful as MGS5's intro. By the time you can run and gun in EW, in RE4 you already fought the whole village in RE4 or freely explored the mansion and found the shotgun in RE1.
>>737554318dopamine fried bozo
>>737554427>"from the creator of God Hand, RE1 and RE4!">expect similar gameplay-first pacing and replayability >get forced mind-numbing cinematic nonsense instead>I'm the problem
play Puzzle Puppers instead
>>737554318kill yourself zoomer scum and stream it please.
>>737554693load a save, dopamine fried retard lol
>>737552740Yeah it's got Dollar General RE4 gameplay
>>737554318>>737554754>"I am playing [cinematic video game] and I'm getting cutscenes and focus on story, why is it like this?"
>>737554782>>737554805>fucking zoomers, they can't appreciate our high IQ boomer gameplay
>>737554318wowie zowie i love hallways and cutscenes !
>>737552740Sebastian said shit one time...
>>737554928why do you think Resident Evil has fixed camera angles?
one of the best survival horrors ever created
>>737554854>>>/tv/
>>737554318>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THE GAME HAS WORLD BUILDING
>>737552740no, nothing will ever get better in your miserable incel life. skip it and keep seething.
>>737554906That's a zoomer game, anon. Uncharted 4 was 2016.
>>737554954Why am I getting gaslit so hard ITT for noticing all the bad trend chasing and design cancer in this game? If this was a Sony game everyone would be noticing too.
Is this greatest vidya openings thread?My favorite is Hard Corps.
I think I hate resident evil 4 now.
>>737555574Mikami earned a free pass. He cashed it in for Evil Within so we have to defend it.
Evil within is fantastic and it really did filter the plebs who think every survival horror should be a RE4 clone.
>>737555813now this is arcade density soul
>>737554965what does camera perspective have to do with pacing?
>>737552740The intro is awful le cinematic shit yeah, but the rest of the game is worth it so just power through it
>>737554318Let me guess resident evil village or re5 were your first "horror" games?
>>737558745RE1, RE2, RE3 and RE4 didn't take long until you started playing so I'm not sure what you're getting at.
>>737558745How do you read a post comparing EW to RE1 and RE4 and somehow conjure up RE5 and RE8 as your gotcha? What is it with retards on this board today?
This is one of the most bizarre threads I've seen on here. Mikami has this board on his payroll or something?
>>737559564ALL positive posts on /v/ are paid for by somebody.
>from the guy who made that thing you liked 20 years ago>comes a giant hunk of shit!every single time
>>737552740>t's like all the worst tropes of modern horror gamesnot all but some of them yeahit's still a pretty challenging survival horror with tight resources management and a lot of ways to solve most levelsthe game isn't super scary but the setting is still kino with tons of memorable set-pieces and an overall interesting story>I can't believe this is the Mikami I love for the snappy arcade pacingBethasda forced a lot of changes on the game, not sure how much this affected the gameplay but it's good to keep in mind>>737554318kind of dishonest considering you can already do shit like solve the very first stealth segment differently and attack the butcheralso comparing unique supernatural horror visual setpieces to nu-GoW walking in a forest segments is just disingenuous
I cannot believe how kusoge it is.
>>737554318>>737554427>>737554782>>737554854literally>moviegame, japan>>737555564he's making fun of the retards that think not liking cinematic forced-slow walking slop makes you a zoomer somehow
Evil Within was incredibly short. I bought it the week it came out and was disappointed by how quickly I got through it.
>>737559426>Run and gunMaybe that part, he's a larping faggot
evil within is basically re4 but with much more focus on the higher level horror encounters vs vanilla ganado fighting, lots of miniboss level enemies and pursuers like the verdugo. the beginning section of the game is the closest to re4 with the low level encounters before it starts shuffling you from horror encounter to encounter at a more rapid pace. it's definitely a flawed game but as a horror set piece variety pack so to speak I think it's successful.
>>737552740it's not a good gameTEW2 is way better
>>737563585You immediately have access to sprint button and weapon in RE1 (Jill gun/Chris knife). Run, gun. Your core gameplay actions available from the start, not arbitrarily disabled for an entire first chapter. In Evil Within, the sprint button is disabled and you have no weapon until Chapter 2. No run, no gun. Scripted forced walk, scripted hide and seek. Even in speedruns it takes 8 fucking minutes for the game to start proper. See, Mikami even references the RE1 zombie face as the cue for when the game starts so you can clap when you recognize it, even he knew the intro was just filler garbage.

>>737554318Even in a slower paced game like Silent Hill, you are either in the school or well on your way there and exploring the town by the 30 minute mark. Depending on if it's your first time playing.
>>737555574He sounds just like Isaac from Dead Space, but instead of "Fuck!" it's "Shit!".
>>737554965Because the team wasn't able to make it look good in first person perspective like Fujiwara wanted so they compromised and ripped off alone in the dark.
