Good Review! I like that people seem fine with the 6 Score and still want to play it. I didn't mind a long tutorial, (I mean it wasn't Final Fantasy XIII long) and I'm looking forward to all the weapons and power upgrades to come. Metallia's cruel, childish temperament seems to be endearing itself to me. I wouldn't call her an 'unappealing' lead, seems more like the antagonist from a horror film. Like Freddy, Candyman or Pinhead, they're the reason you go see the movies, you watch people do their horrible bidding and look forward to them popping back up on the screen and saying or doing terrible things. There aren't too many games with that flavor in their characters.
I'm just really glad this happened. I was getting so bored with spec comparisons and glimpses of dismal first person military shooters. I'm proud of microsoft for stepping up and being the villian we so desperatly needed. Now all we as consumers have to do is split into camps of alliance and horde.
@Zeus-Cannon I have recollections of these early franchise horror games being so engrossing. I don't know if I'm just looking back with sentimentality. But I remember trying to slow the pace of Dead Space by creeping, cause I was freaked out by what might be about to pop out. Scared cause I never have enough ammo. My involvement with the game was intense. I am not crying and butthurt as you so insultingly put it... I'm just disinterested and bored by another online oriented call of duty or gears of war rip off
@digi-demon @Muferrah27 wait does lmfilmey mean that Muferrah27 could not make a better game. Or is he simply saying that the reaction "you Suck" should have been more thought out?
I'm really loving this game, I think resident evil has failed horror fans by turing it into a run and gun. In the first resident evil there isnt enough ammo to in the entire game to kill all the baddies so some you just have to run away from. That is scary. Or fatal frame where the arm you with only a camera... and they severely limit the film for it. There are multiple times in zombi u where I just yelled out loud and started running the other way... nothing bad about that when your enjoying a horror game. Much like the classic games from ninja gaiden to megaman, bad guys can destroy you in a couple of hits and you really have to work on your timing and aggro range till you perfect killing them. The story is simple but the layout is really smart, doors will be opened when you beat tough situations and you get to lock in shortcuts. death is punishing and like Dark Souls you can permanently lose important items (i lost my carbine rifle) but what does that do but increase the tension and horror feeling. I think maybe this reviewer is just got stuck reviewing games in a genre he doesnt really enjoy.
