The Evil Within: Game of the Year Edition, leaked by Amazon France | September 18th
- Thread starter BluenoseGames
- Start date
They got some balls calling this GOTY Edition, that's almost to the point of false advertising. They shoulda called it "Complete Edition" or something.
EDIT: Not salt or a shit poster, btw. Bought day one and beat it. The game is crap because of their decision to purposely make the story nonsensical in order to push DLC sales as well as some shit poor game design. The performance honestly didn't bother me because I'm not super sensitive to it, but this game has enough problems without dragging the performance into it.
I understand if you love a game, but don't make shit up and act like anyone who hates it is a shit-poster. This game is super flawed, largely in part cause of greed (as I mentioned earlier in the post).
If the rumors of this not being the game Mikami wanted to make and was "forced" to by Bethesda are true, then bless him. But he still should have made a good game.

Fyi this edition is called "100% uncut", not goty.
Pretty dumb to overreact like that when you should know that those are placeholder names.
Lol.
Overreacting is GAF's m.o.

So the original version was "cut" in some way? That's kind of a stupid thing to imply. Calling it "complete edition" also implies the previous version was incomplete. So it seems to me "definitive edition" is kind of the only non-GOTY label that doesn't implicitly shit on the original release.
I guess they're leaning into the cinematic aspect of the game.

Functional proof that you don't need to win shit in order to have a GOTY edition.

Movie studios have been using this for years. You get "Unrated Edition" or "Uncut Edition" releases, which just means they add some footage that was left on the cutting room floor (probably for good reason), and this footage was never originally "rated" (hence the Unrated label). You are thinking way too hard about this. It's just a marketing angle to target the segment of the audience that skipped the game the first time around and falls for buzzwords like "Uncut".
I think the title is fine either way, but I do actually think the pre-order bonuses were cut from the game. The special items are completely impossible to obtain otherwise impossible to obtain(you don't even get them with the season pass) and are pretty fun to use, especially the poison bolt.

No, it wasn't. I have no idea why Kazuhira posted that German game cover here. It wasn't censored anywhere but in Japan. Game covers here in Germany often have these "100% Uncut" labels for 18+ rated games and they mean jackshit.
Sounds kinda like another nod to Resident Evil. Its 100% Uncut much like RE: Directors Cut. I look forward to the music being remixed in this style.

No, because they realized nobody gave it GOTY

I wonder why this doesn't exist yet. Maybe they might announce something at E3?

Played the PC version last year. Absolutely fantastic. The true Biohazard 5, in my opinion.

Game of the year edition is a stretch.

Is currently staging a hunger strike outside Gearbox HQ while trying to hate them to death
I'd like to play it again but the thought of going thru the last 5 chapters again always stops me
This is some truth right here.
Alien Isolation is better

Impossible. Game itself is nearly 40gb with patches, whilst the three lots of DLC all hover around the 7gb mark each. You'll never get a complete edition with everything on disc. Maybe with codes in the box but I think that ship has sailed by now.

Cool well since it's on sale on the EU psn I'll just snap it up now and decide on the DLC later. Heard good things so I am rather excited, although I know almost nothing about the game other than it's a Mikami joint.

Game of Two Years Ago edition?
I really wanted an option so the camera was further back from the main character too

and how many games have had multiple disc this gen hmm? Come on now, try and use a little common sense. No one is authoring extra discs, especially not for some DLC.

I hate how every Evil Within thread becomes a dispute over it's quality. It's been well established, on and off GAF, that Evil Within is a huge Love It/Hate It game. Some adore it, some loathe it.
It's just that every TEW thread turns into this, some people arguing how bad it is, and some people loving it, in almost a 50/50 split. It's all in taste, just people need to accept Evil Within is neither a downright terrible or a downright amazing game that is loved/hated by all, it's a game that sits in such a place that people seem to have strong emotions towards it, whether positive or negative.
I think being able to inflict such a rabid and split response is a lot more interesting and speaks a lot more for how unorthodox the game is than if it was just alright to everyone. It's truly one of the biggest love it/hate it games I've seen in years, and that split comes precisely due to how it handles itself, which is hardly by the mill and has design decisions that some will love, some will hate.
Performance was improved on PS4/Xbox One/PC I know, and on PS4/Xbox One they did some big performance boosts in the update where they gave people the option to remove the black bars. Can read a lot of response to the patch in this thread: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=169475705
Along with giving people the option to remove black bars, the patch also had severe performance boosts on consoles is the baseline, though.
Your in luck, this thread is almost a year old and still no word on it. So it may not be happening (a shame, since I think the DLC is worth experiencing if you liked the game and know what the DLC has in store).

Nobody has done that for years. Last time I saw it was Fallout 3. Everything is a download code now.

Threads a year old.
And a shame that is, I fancy having all my games in a shelf, now I only have a third of my games in the shelf, since the other two thirds go to patches and DLC.

Excellent 8.5/10 and my third best game of 2014. Would have hit my 9/10 mark but the horrible field of view, wide screen aspect ration, repeating bosses and decline at the last few chapters compared to the beginning and middle chapters led me to lower my own personal score.
Would love a sequel though and it's one of my predictions for Bethesda's press conference.

Even if it came out today it would still be a horror GOTY.
And Im really saddened theres not a physical complete edition for this.

You realise how silly all these GOTY editions are when you imagine films doing the same thing. Imagine getting released movies like Transformers: 2008 MTV Movie Awards Best Movie Edition.

So did a complete edition ever come out in NA?
Might buy it if it has all DLC on disc.

No kidding. I'm as shocked by you are.
At least call it "Year One Edition" or something that isn't associated with awards it didn't get.

Can you play this Fullscreen on PC yet?
Idtech5 is a mess as it is already, and borderless just kills performance.

While Evil Within is a surprisingly meaty game, a campaign that lasts 13-18 hours easily with actually a lot of variety in it and a number of unlockables attached as well, I can understand why some would appreciate a complete pack. The two part Juli Kidman campaign is stealth based, but it also has the variety of the main game and includes new enemies, areas, boss encounters, and story that runs well with the game, and is a good 4-6 hours alone, and then the Boxman DLC is a pretty fun arcade boss-rush thing which lasts a good 60-90 minutes and was surprisingly fun.
It's a case where the DLC doesn't feel like it was cut from the game or anything and the main game is pretty meaty itself, but the DLC I think has appeal for people and some would definitely like to experience it and have it on a disk.
