Eurogamer a no show.

This is because they weren't sent a copy by Bethesda PR, because they gave a less than glowing review to Wolfenstein. The same happened to Videogamer, but they went out and bought an early copy from a local indie.

Do you guys consider Eurogamer as the resource for good reviews? Just wondered, cos they didn't have a clue when it came to the Driveclub review.

They're normally reliable.. I like to think they throw some click bait in now and again. It's just there one of the biggest (Imho) sites so I thought it was odd they led with pixcat review!

Maybe some people just don't like Drive Club.

Well that's believable cos some people don't like driving or clubs. I prefer a breakaway myself.

I don't think he'd spent very long playing it or had just come off the back of playing FH2 and was comparing apples and oranges.

Anyway, Driveclub.

Calm down dear.

So looking forward to picking this up!

Its not scary. Or even that tense. Maybe I'm immune.

But good fun?

I'm only half-way in, and its certainly ramped up compared to the early chapters, but its still far from a full blown 'action' game.

So yeah, plenty of creeping about, searching every nook & cranny for goodies, biding your time, then freaking out and wasting ammo when you get mobbed. lol!

Its exactly how you expect a Resident Evil re-skin to play.

This all sounds rather splendid. A certain purchase once I've completed and recovered from Alien

Is there a trick to the invisible guys? Aside from watching the environment for clues,always end up using a few more bullets than I'd like.

I wouldn't worry about your ammo too much, its pretty generous early on. Just shotgun blindly at head height to expose them. Worked for me.

I spoke too soon about the lack of tension - I just met the poster boy: Safe Head. That was a really good scenario. Had my heart racing, and a big "phew" when I'd done it.

Great game. And only half way through.

Yeah that's the tactic I been going with just thought Id check as sometimes there's some trick.

Loving it and can't wait to start my second playthrough already.

And...done! Its completely and utterly ludicrous, but still a great game nonetheless.

If someone took a hatchet to it, there's a fantastic 9-10 hours of game hidden under the weight of far too many silly design decisions, incl. old favourites like trial & error and insta-death sections. None of it really pissed me off, just disappointed me when compared to all the good stuff it has to offer.

End of the day it was never going to hold a candle to RE4, but nothing ever will. I'd put it on par with RE5 & 6 which I know a lot of you hated, but I personally enjoyed them, so take that into account when reading this post. lol!
Anyone already playing it - stick with it - the good far outweighs the bad, trust me. 

Here are my stats:



I'd say the vast majority of those deaths were unavoidable due to the aforementioned design choices.
I can't wait to start my second run where i can just relax, know what to expect, and have fun with my new toys. 

Mikami seems to love his instant death pitfalls. Paula chasing you to plant a death kiss in Shadows was genuinely more terrifying than anything in a recent Resi.

I had little interest in this lately but seeing that reversible cover suddenly makes me want to run out and grab a copy! Just think it would look wonderful on my shelf

Picked this up today. Played the first two chapters. Really enjoyed it so far.

I wouldnt have said it was particularly scary but it is certininly quite tense. I also really liked the slightly open nature of the environment and combat in the second chapter. Although I am finding the traps ridiculously difficult to spot.
