Just started chapter 7, it's been decent so far, but not particularly scary or tense.
"I think Call of Duty resonates because it's believable and relatable," Sledgehammer Games cofounder Michael Condrey says.
Believable and relatable...Yep, sounds like Call of Duty

 define, scary....
i guess the question is, does the game capture the scarynes and unknown horrors of the lovecraft universe?
Lovecraftian Horror is a special kind of horror...the unknown horror, the one you cant see or touch but you know theres something there, but you cant grasp it....... something along those lines 
I still at the beginning, im too scared to start the game for real..

Ha, it's time to bump up the gamma and face your demons!
(My personal pick as the top pants-soiling game has to be Alien Isolation on Hard, it was like the baptism with fire and the holy beeping Xeno spirit. Such a magnificent yet ridiculously stressful experience <3  )
Will grab Cthulhu's demo tomorrow, let's hope for the best since Cyanyde's games tend to be very hit and miss mechanics-wise.  |

The story was also rather bland, IMHO. But, I bought it as the developers really did their homework on recreating the atmosphere from the first Alien movie.

I hate games where they force you to run and hide under beds  it's like you're crippled or something.

75 fov is way too big and gives fish eye, 55 or even 50 is best but still some animations are bad
game is decent so far and worth it for the atmosphere, also think its my first playing a cthulhu game

I agree, main fault of the game is that you dont get the feeling of pressure that should come with hpl. It¨s not scary at all.

Lovecraft's work is not always scary.
I just finished the game and I was pleasantly surprised by how the story unfolded. The narrative is very solid in the beginning and at the end, the mid part however is rather weak. Despite some obvious problems, I think Cyanide delivered. They managed to capture the feeling and weird storytelling of Lovecraft's work. The last few chapters in particular do a perfect job at describing that struggle of distinguishing reality from illusion that paves the road to madness. Sadly, the game doesn't do the game any favors and the tech is quite outdated. The game is not worth full price, but it's definitely something to watch, especially for those who read some of Lovecraft's stories.

Only flaw for me in the writing was the pivotal part of the player. The protagonist should not be a main player, only an observer that will in the end affect the outcome.
More dcote less bioshock & HL

There's nothing AAA about this game. Production values are lower than AAA games of last gen, let alone the current one.
As for the game, feels like I'm playing a "hidden object" simulator, but I like the writing and atmosphere, and sometimes the scenery is very well done and manages to overcome the otherwise dated graphics, so I'm enjoying myself. 
TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."

Are you sure is a dice roll? I think is a fixed skill requirement.

What broke it for me was the skill system. It works as a dice roll, so entirely random and luck based. Even when you have 4/5 in a skill, you can still fail the skill check, and when that happens, the path will be blocked forever as the game immediately autosaves. So you can't retry lockpicking a door after increasing the skill, you have to restart the fucking game. 
But it's a dice roll, so even replayability is pretty much based on fucking luck. Fuck that. |
That's some evil and sadistic game design 
1 and 2 are still amazing. |
