Halloween Games

[Yoshi]

You just bumped a year-old buttplant thread.

I hope the Willamette mall gets decked out with jack-o-lanterns.

Play Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth.

All of you. Right now.

Oddly enough, that's exactly what I'm doing. It looks better than half the 360's launch library.

Damn there are some tough parts though. I'm getting shot full of holes on the truck scene.

...Are you playing the PC version or something?

I expected to love Cthulhu but it didn't really click with me. It took forever to get a weapon. Not that I need to shoot things in games to enjoy them(I am a big fan of graphic adventures after all) but the beginning felt kind of slow. I do plan on going back to it some time though.

No, I'm playing it on 360. AA & upscaled resolution make the environments look insanely nice. Runs smooth as silk, too.

I can see that, but for me it was just how well they pulled off the setting and the feel of the old table-top CoC RPG; feeling of helplessness, a dark world of enemies and few friends, and of course the looming feeling that you're going completely batshit crazy. That's why I loved the game, the gunplay was 'meh' and the sneaking was 'grrr'.

Well, hey, right on..

I liked the beginning alot, but once you get to Attack of the Fishmen it starts to play like Splinter Cell, except instead of snapping people's necks your character goes insane. That part goes on & on, too. But once you get past it, things really pick up. I only just got weapons, about 30 % through the game.

[Korly]

I'm like 15% into CoC, but I keep getting stuck at stupid things. Like I was stuck in a fucking basement for like 20 minutes because I couldn't move a ladder out of the way. or something.

It's just not very intuitive.

I love the Eternal Darkness-ish vibe though.



I guess this haloween will be all about Mortal Kombat Armageddon (October 9th) but I'll make time to finish Fatal Frame 3, and start on Rule of Rose.
