Is it true that you take damage and die in this game for no reason? I can totally deal with some clipping issues and some graphical glitches, but if what Penny Arcade says is true and the game is broken to the point where you'll just die for no reason it's not a game I want to waste my time with.
From penny-arcade.com;
"I've only played a couple chapters of Alone in the Dark, and a sometimes profound directorial vision is apparent. I mean it: you'll see things in the first few hours here that you have never seen before, in any game. Big, big ideas. Then, you will take damage for apparently no reason, or you will die instantly. You won't know why. At first, I thought - ghosts? But no. The game is just broken, and it's hard to know what is happening sometimes.
I really think this explains everything we have seen in the review context. The Sevens are "true," at least as true as the Threes are. It's a matter of where you take your sample - as the experience oscillates up, or down. Even in my relatively short playtime, the qualitative sensation of play shifts hard from pure nirvana to molar-grinding rage."
I was considering checking it out, but I don't want to play a game that's just going to piss me off. I play games to relax.
