Tried it with 3 explosion arrows, 1 grenade, 5 sniper shots and a handful of pistole shots. He just doesn't want to die, does he? Playing on normal.

but that had MAGIC. And Batman has sonar or whatever, and Ezio has eagle vision etc
what does Joel have?
It's a visual representation for the player of what Joel can hear. If you can think of a better way to implement that, bearing in mind that players will be using a diverse array of sound equipment, I'd like to hear it.
Great suggestion - never played it but would be great on Vita.

Been away from the thread and the game for most of the weekend...so the Flawless Widescreen download can also adjust FOV in addition to removing the bars??
I'm only on Chapter 7. Moving so slow through this game.

Does anyone have a good recommendation for a TEW playthrough to watch on YT? I don't want to watch any of the big time personalities, I would rather watch someone who plays it with decent commentary, or none at all for that matter.

I just finished chapter 5 and I've only found one med kit so far. Am I fucking up?
I feel like I'm exploring thoroughly. Are they extremely well hidden or are they just rare?

No, they're very uncommon. I only found 4 in my entire playthrough.

I went through the whole game. Playlist is here. Very minimal talking and facecam. Mostly just the game. Intro and outro. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGH1ybZYpD--u_YYlaFB_SGH-BwxKobrN Also broken down by chapters so you don't have to watch 10 videos for one chapter like some youtube folks.
At first, shoot his eyeball searching for you (once with handgun is fine). Then when he is stunned unload about 3ish shots of a shotgun into him, then run to the other side of the arena and duck into the side room.
If he didn't see you, he will search again. Rinse and repeat.
When he is in stage 2. Wait for him to glow, then shoot him with an electric bolt to slow him down and then hit his weak spot with your strongest weapon. Again, rinse/repeat.
In phase 2 I just run around him, instead of away from him as I did in phase 1.
Other than that, I just gunned him down, didn't even aim to the mouth.

Man....I have to say I'm really excited for this game, but the only thing I have I could play it on is a PS3. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to go that route (especially since Akumu mode, one of the things I'm most interested in, might be rough on that version), especially after I put myself through well over a hundred hours of the awful PS3 port of Bayonetta.
Help me decide.

I like to call it "Puzzle Crisis." I'm pretty sure you solve more puzzles than you do kill dinosaurs in the game

I thought it might have been b at first, similar to resident evil 4 but after seeing the pc version with the fov fix it's clearly because they had trouble with the engine.
I played through the game and never realised sebastian left a trail of blood dripping from his leg in the first chapter after being hit with the chainsaw until i saw it on a pc, if the black bars were intentional from the start then the blood dripping would be pointless as nobody can see it, with the fov fix the game is a million times better and how the game deserves to be played.
Ditto. From previews I thought we'd be stuck in the mental hospital all game, then after the intro I thought "oh wow, we get thrown to the outskirts of the city and we have to make our way back in until we reach the mental hospital, that's awesome" and that held up for the first few chapters until we magically teleported to random places for no reason.

I haven't played the game, but in general a nonsensical reason to visit varied locations is more fun than logically keeping the game in one single location.
There is a reason, beat the game, then let's discuss
Well I figured there was an in-universe explanation, it's just disappointing from a game-design POV. You get the scary forest, followed by a scary village, followed by a large scary hospice and then that lovely crescendo of increasingly complex, built-up areas is all ruined by randomly arriving in a bunch of closed in corridors. Feels very disjointed.

I don't mind the varied locations so much as I do the fact that the game lacks almost any sense of progression through location.

I love Dino Crisis's puzzles. Not super difficult, but I find the puzzles in Dino Crisis to be fairly fun.
Chapter 3 feels like a prototype of Game From The Future. It's all in one block of area and you can do stuff in whatever order you want. The lack of ammo means there's player-creative emergent gameplay out the wazoo, and activating a certain boss earlier than later increases the challenge.

Yeah, I'm only at the beginning of the game but the dinosaurs seem pretty impossible to kill with the weapons I have.

Actually, I found DC to have the most challenging puzzles for a non puzzle game that I've ever played. I actually just replayed it for the first time since launch. I was doing a Mikami marathon in preparation for TEW. I remember being really proud of my 13 year old self for beating it without a guide.
Oh you can kill them just fine. The problem is lack of ammo.

There's a trainer called 'Flawless Widescreen', which does a few things, but is mostly for... Well, creating a perfect widescreen fix.

Is it better to be thorough and search everywhere before moving on, or is it better to just get through areas as safely as possible?

I heard over on gamefaqs that beating the game in under 5 hours doesn't unlock anything. Bummer if true.

Chapter ten.
After escaping a boss that just would not die, Ruvic showed up and actually spoke for once, he knows who Sebastian is and basically tormented him saying that he is basically treating Sebastian as a fucked up plaything.

The only two minor ones I can think of off the top are...
Collecting all the map fragments
makes the map in the save room glow and you get a new sniper rifle and a new handgun.
In Chapter 10
beating Laura will lead to a different conclusion at the elevator and there's a supply of items you can collect.
Totally agree.
Loved that chapter (I've just surpassed that point).
Go ahead to chapter 4, now!

Question: I'm at the beginning of chapter 4 but I'm wondering about the burning mechanics. First of all to me it seems the corpses take pretty long to reanimate (since I don't think it has happened to me once outside
) so I'm wondering does this mechanic actually come to play at some point in the game? There has hardly been any backtracking thus far. I feel like I'm just better off saving the matches for something else rather than burning corpses.
Also do they reanimate as exactly the same they were before or is there some kind of Crimson Head thing going on?
Just curious.
I did think chapter 3 had kind of bad design where
of that one scripted event where you open the gate in chapter 2

you had to go back to the ''barn'' for the big guy to get loose. It was the biggest looking place so I made sure to search it thoroughly when I first went in and got stuck for a while at the part you needed a chainsaw (I wasn't even sure if you really needed one or if it was just some kinda of RE4 callback joke or something). I knew the big guy was there alive still so I eventually went back there after roaming around every other place. I didn't even know he had a chainsaw. I just thought he was some kind of miniboss that the villagers set loose if they spot you or something.
According to the art book there was/is some sort of creature that the denizens can turn into if they arent burned away. A creature that explodes when you get too close. I never ran into one though and I never ran into a body that came back to life after "killing" it. For a few reasons: 1) I always go for a headshot. Headshot puts them out for good. 2) Any loose dead bodies around I set on fire anyway because 50% of the time they will come to life anyway and 3) Anyone that I dont headshot, (like a group of dudes I lay out with a shotgun) I set on fire as soon as they hit the ground.
Basically Ive just never given the enemy the opportunity.
Matches are great offensively - either bodies, hay bales or oil slicks can be used to kill whole groups of enemies without firing a shot. Also, I've seen other instances of 'playing dead', and even burning random hay bales can uncover items.
The reanimation mechanic is bullshit. However, enemies are VERY resilient and will often refuse to die until their head is completely blown off.
The chainsaw thing seemed obvious to me because of the sound cues. Chainsaw man in the barn sounded the same as the one you had to flee from earlier. As for what I was supposed to do with him, that was kinda the problem - I had so little ammo I didn't think I could kill him, and tried to get him to hit the chain with the chainsaw.

Is chapter 15 the last? And how long should I give myself to beat it roughly? I need to leave for work in an hour but I really want to push on and get it done. Will I have enough time?
Yes, and it should take about an hour.

I've been exploring thoroughly and killing everyone (when possible). A game like this holds no interest for me without combat. If you wanted to avoid conflict and just try to get where you're going you can probably do that in many situations but I haven't tried it.
I'm only at ch6 though so maybe I don't know what I'm talking about.

While I'm way too early to tell which it is either this game pays some major homage to RE4 or this game is trying sooooo haaaard to be another RE4.
Also I enjoyed that one obvious RE1 callback
