lol! no it does! If there are nearby enemies and you violently open it, they will hear you and come immediately whereas if you open it slow they won't

lol yeah I stealthed the guy that was eating and suddenly 6 or so show up. I just ran. I knew how hard it was to handle one alone. Not dealing with that.
My experience so far was that I played for 20 minutes and the game crashed. This is after a death at the hands of the first chainsaw guy after he

I hope that was just a fluke, but I had no desire to keep playing tonight since it's far too late anyway.

Those who have copies: is the stealth system as meh as some people have been making it out to be?

Oh no, I meant the differences between canceling the slow open to the quick open is much tighter, but doesn't affect gameplay. What I mean is, you probably won't be in s situation where you want to cancel the slow open into a quick open in the middle of the animation like you could in RE4. I'm only on chapter two though, but it seems like a really methodical game right now, and ever move you make is deliberate and concise.

On chapter 4, it's perfectly servicable

Try the
crossbow explosives
If you don't have ammo at all for any weapon try the
room near the exit with the switches that throw the knives (spikes?) from above
Lure him there and time your actions

Theres a crossbow you might need, explore the area around the place before you take him on, there is also a house with spike traps you can use

I feel it's similar to TLoU's stealth. I have no problems with it. I haven't really played any game where the stealth is any different really.

Weird I'm having no problem playing this game..settle down, you're the spoiled crybaby kind of pc gamer that makes the reasonable pc gamers look bad. Just means this game isn't meant to be played by you.

I changed my mind about this game. It's actually great. Not as a horror game, but as a comedy it's hilarious.
- Achievements are cinematic-mode only! Not enabled in 60fps (because that's cheating).
- Black bars can't be disabled - but you can zoom in and crop the picture so you don't see the black bars! (actual feature in the game)
- Yes, 21:9 is great. It's like cinematic x 21 x 9 x 30fps, that's one billion cinematicness. But if you have a cinematic monitor (21:9) the game will break and you still have black bars.
- The black bars aren't actually black bars.
These guys!

Why are you posting, you got a refund, so how can you still be playing.

Steam? Well damn ... then again. Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze didn't give me any trophies for dealing with this psycho ape for over 10 hours. I'll be fine. Be sure to maybe tell Bethesda about it. They said they are going to fix 60fps issues.

Glad to hear good impressions after reading some mixed ones. Especially the similarity with TLoU's stealth; I thoroughly enjoyed the stealth mechanics of that game.
Now I've got to wait til my GameStop opens. ugh

I'm not sure where this is coming from.
I payed 60€ for this and it barely works. Not to mention it's locked at 30fps and has black bars, there is a huge amount of stuttering and pop-ins. Sure, you can unlock the framerate, but it won't be much smoother because it isn't optimized to any degree at all. The framerate will fluctuate between 30 and 60.
I don't know why that makes me a spoiled crybaby. What am I to expect then? Should I expect a lock at 15fps, and even bigger black bars? More stuttering?
And I mean, it doesn't look great or anything, it's a stab-and-shoot-party in a corridor, why is it so demanding?
Lucent
Member
Yeah. Really you just crouch and sneak up on the enemy. Then press the button to stab them in the head. That's it. lol.

You got a refund, get over it and stop crying. Every indication before hand pointed to a bad port, you still bought it, that's your fault aswell as the developers.

Is the game unplayable to you?
It certainly hasn't been to me or the other people who reviewed and played the game. He's having "issues" everyone has known about for quite some time now, but if you have to be captain save ' em to meet your quota go right ahead.

Every time I try a stealth kill, it results in me just hitting them in the head.
Sephiroth_GR_

Yes. One thing i noticed so far is that the enemy petterns and "patrols" are always the same every time you reload the checkpoint/level. The only thing that changes is the "loot" and item placement in the level.
I hope that in nightmare and akumu mode that isn't the case and the AI becomes unpredictable and everything is random just for the sake of justifying those difficulty levels!

I didn't see anything about the actual game part of the game in those bullet points you posted.

Wait, am I supposed to have a knife?
Are they turning around as you're approaching?! I found that R1+X results in happiness, although without a match/torch, extended sadness. I wish we could stop these enemies into oblivion like Issac Clark though!
Baha, yeah! Which chapter are you attempting it in?

You have one from the first level. You automatically use it in stealth kills. He just punches for melee unless he has an enemy's weapon. lol

So a) you're still being a child and b) you missed the point entirely.
Whether or not _my_ game works is completely irrelevant to _his_ experience. Because it runs fine for 7/10 people doesn't magically mean the other 3 should shut up and smile. Why the fuck do I need to explain this to you?
Sephiroth_GR_

So far only for the stealth kills. The only melee weapons i found so far are a torch & axe
abstract alien
Member
Nope, they are oblivious. I just go off pistol whipping them for no reason. I can just hold R1 and hit X right? Or do you hae to push them simultaneously? I'm in the second chapter btw.
What in the hell am I doing so wrong lol
Edit: I must be hitting triangle. That's the only explanation lol

His game DOES WORK he just doesn't like the design choices and lack of technical marvel. He has the exact same game all the reviewers and myself has, did you really come at me sideways not understanding the whole situation..definitely a captain save ' em all.
This game is the truth.
Weird that Steam achievements don't work and the game doesn't even show up under recently played. Like, it's in my library and I can play it obviously, but it doesn't show anything about it in my profile. Well w/e.

I'd like to think I'm still entitled to an opinion, and since it's still possible to fix these issues, they could get me into buying this again.
And furthermore, why shouldn't these issues be discussed? I'd like to enjoy the game as mush as anyone else. Developers and publishers should be criticized for stupid shit, not sure what's wrong about that.
It's great if people don't share my issues and are enjoying the game, but if you're not enjoying it and are having these issues, do the right thing and issue a refund. Shady business shall not be rewarded.
So, I switched the stealth to toggle mode. I usually will just be crouching and hit X button, and it'll do it for me in the Second chapter! Also, there'll be a prompt if you're in position for a proper stealth kill. It'll be right above the enemy's head.

Played around an hour and a half, I've just begun chapter 3. The game its very very atmospheric and dark, the gameplay feels like is much more centered in survival than action and I love it!

Your issues are tech related, they are known, there is no point spamming this thread being a baby, you don't even own the game anymore, therefor you can contribute the gameplay complaints.
