Anyone know how long a single playthrough is expected to take? If this is truly the next best thing since RE4, I want it now

There's a guy who's been playing the PS3 version and giving detailed impressions. He has been reporting his times after each chapter.

He last beat Chapter 10 (of 15), and his total playtime so far is 10 44 47.

First impressions sound very good! That is great news. This will be my next game purchase.

This will be a welcome change of tone from that grind-ass Destiny crack.

Is that fighting chance pack bonus actually worth ordering from Amazon for?

Edit: WOW I looked over some things
TEWSE.jpg


yes and no. lol I looked over the weapons I had in Dark Souls 2 and they helped me out later on. In RE, shotguns are OP. They clear a path during a short range attack almost all the time.
 
[Caveat that I realize the game could still review poorly]

It's been pretty incredible to watch the progression from the really negative early impressions of TEW to how excited people are now. I've always been interested in it since it's Mikami + survival horror, but even my excitement is increasing as these final impressions are being posted. Can't freaking wait until Tuesday.
 
Are you allowed to talk about the framerate?
Do you like the soundtrack/ music?

I can't really go into detail but the video someone posted above shows a clear enough indication of the FPS in my experience. As for the music, as it's been noted in the videos released by Sessler, it's very moody and atmospheric moreso. If your into that sort of thing, I can't think people won't like it.

It sucks that Shopto have since I don't wanna give GAME any of my money. Also, fuck that Season Pass. Bethesda.

Is there a comparison for Xbox 360 to Xbox One? I'm tempted on just getting the Xbox 360 version.

does PS4/PSN preorder include the fighting chance pack ?

Yes

A little bit about the pack:

Pre-ordering the game will net players The Fighting Chance Pack, which includes an additional medical kit for Sebastian as well as Green Gel, which the detective can use to upgrade his abilities. The pack also features a double barrel shotgun with three shells and two special bolts: the Incendiary Agony Bolt, which douses nearby enemies with fire sparks, and a Poison Agony Bolt, which draws enemies towards it and poisons them.

I love Pokken!
Not trying to be an ass, but a mod really needs to update the title or put at the top of the OP informing about the review embargo .

Almost every page someone is asking about it.
 
What a stupid review embargo. There could be heaps of praise all over the net for this game leading to release except now you get silence.

Well we should have plenty of reader reviews up by then. Keep the spoiler free impressions coming.

And if anyone knows where to get this early in Miami I would love you forever.

Question about the music: is there an option to turn it off in the options? I know that sounds weird, but I like to turn off the music in immersive games to make them more immersive. I know most people think that's blasphemy, but it's my own private Idaho. Resident Evil 4 didn't let you turn off the music, which is why I ask...

Time update! PS3 player just completed Chapter 11 (of 15) of Evil Within.

His total playtime so far is 12:15:10.
 
Playing the bayonetta 2 demo for the third time in a row it suddenly struck me. In the next two weeks we get:

a) A survival horror title from the guru behind the whole genre and director of countless classics ... Mikami
b) high octane action from the director of DMC and protege of Mikami ... Kamiya

After playing the demo I already now bayonetta 2 is 10/10 material. And all the stuff you here about TEW is sounding great ...

Ps. Of course I knew this before but it is so close now ... Its becoming real

Same here, playing Bayo 2 demo and waiting for TEW, great times. Capcom's golden age is back without Capcom.

I really hope there are unlockable weapons or costumes. Four chapters left until we know it...

Not sure about costumes, but Mikami confirmed in a previous interview the game has unlockables, and that he specifically mentioned 'bigger guns' after you've completed the game.

I think Bethesda's confidence in their non internally developed titles might be shaky still. The track record hasn't been the greatest for what they've published thus far. This looks to break that trend though :)
 
You don't have to activate it, it's a code.
Even with Steam? Most Steam stuff is just activated from the jump.

Well, it seems pretty irrelevant on top of that, to the point where it's kinda funny. Oh man, three shotgun shells! Don't spend em all in one place.

Nowhere near as ridiculous as the Dead Space 2 and 3 preorder stuff. Straight up gave you some of the most overpowered shit in the game from the get-go.

The pack straight up gives you a gun right away. Dead Space did the same thing essentially.

I'm not even a little bit tempted to watch footage now that we're so close. I sit here and I wait for release.

I sit. I wait.
