this game any good?

>>378791986
Yes

>>378791986

Its great until you get guns, then it becomes okay, with some real bad parts.
If you like Lovecraft, it's worth playing for the lore and atmosphere

>>378791986
It barely fucking works anymore. But I remember having fun way back then.

>>378791986
It's alright until after the warehouse. Then it takes a fucking nose dive into pure shit tier.

echoing other anons. Its good if you can put up with it.

I liked it

just make sure to patch it, there's some really bad bugs in it

also
>mfw that whole hotel escape part in the beginning

>>378791986
Yes if you can run it.

I never did get the PC version working. And the 360 backwards compatibility is awful too. Thankfully I played it on the original xbox and it was amazing. Shame I don't actually own an xbox...

>>378792960
Were there any patches?
I remember there were serious problems with the game, like lighthouse fires don't show up on Devil's Reef, so you can't see where to shoot. I had to download a screenshot with hints.

>>378793527
I had to patch the game because I kept getting stuck in walls in one of the caves so there's at least an unofficial patch

It's really unpolished and buggy, but it's one of those fairly unique experiences that's worth it all.

The second you get some weapons, the game becomes dogshit.

Do not bother.

Looks good! Do you need to edit some files, or it supports 4k right away?

You need the linked patch and the widescreen fix.

There are some neat moments but even patched its still very clunky and unpolished.

>>378791986

Yes it's fanstatic. If anyone in this told you it gets bad when you get guns, ignore them, for they are faggots.

The first 3-4 hours of this game are literally a walking simulator like Gone Home, you have nothing at all, you just walk around looking at things, then sneak around and run away from some people. Don't get me wrong, it's fucking fantastic and it's a walking sim done right. But still it's literally, a fucking walking sim. About halfway through you get some guns and it really changes up the pace of the game. The part that puts people off is the 2 levels right after you get guns are drastically different to the rest of the game and that probably put people off. But the guns are really good. It's just fish factory is a bad level, adn the refinery, while not bad is a very confusing maze and not as good as a lot of other levels, although I did find Refinery enjoyable. The guns are done very well too, there is weapon sway, manually checking ammo since no hud, no reticule so aiming is much harder and more fun.

Also if you play it on PC, use machine with Win XP installed. It shits the bed on anything newer, though there are bug fixes patches out, the game was ported by literally one fucking guy who was a friend of the dev team. Bethesda really fucked the devs over and it's a long sad tale. If you don't have a WinXP machine available, just play it on Xbox it works fine on console.

But yeah, tl;dr, the game is fucking fantastic. Would recommend.

>>378797783
>>378799293

These two levels were some of the best in the game, the second part of DCotE is so underrated.

Just remember to cap the game at 30 fps, or else certain sections become impossible to beat.

I found that out the hard way. Even if you noclip through walls you still cant escape the end without limiting your fps.

>>378800697

Yes you can, it's literally what I did.

it's okay, kinda wonky shooting and stealth, alright atmosphere

>>378791986
its actually fucking terrible, but it has one of the best escape sequences out of any game i've played. also the setting/mystery is well done.

>>378801430
>its actually fucking terrible

Actually, your taste is fucking terrible. KYS. Now.

Most of these are so dark you cant see shit buts I guess that comes with the genre.

>>378791986
yes, its exceptionally good.

it suffers from a bad steam/pcport fyi. i almost gave up midway through. if you have an xbox i would try to play it that way.

Last one. spoilered for big old fish titties.

>that maze of a warehouse
>that awful combat
>those respawning enemies

Real shame, I was enjoying the game very much up until that point. Didn't even mind guns at first, but that place just made me drop the game.

>>378802641
I like it. I noticed that in general old games gave more attention to lighting despite inferior technology.

>>378803427

The game got excellent again right after that retard. I swear you retards drop a game at the drop of a hat.

>implying the combat was bad
>implying the maze itself was bad

>>378803702
Well, too bad. I fucked around that place for like an hour before giving up. And since I didn't have internet at the time, I couldn't look up what was I supposed to do either.

Or maybe the game is just badly designed piece of shit.

>>378801650
piss off, the game is fucking shit. you can stand in front of a frogman with a shotgun and he will miss you every time till he runs out of ammo. entire levels are clearly missing assets and the whole game just reeks of unfinished, rushed mess. you can enjoy it as a flawed piece of shit but dont pretend like its anything other than that retard

Don't listen to the fags, the game has a very interesting pace, you are unarmed for a large part of the game and you start getting progressively stronger weapons as the pace and difficulty of the game increases, as the mystery unfounds and as things get more and more surreal, aside actual bugs and glitches the game is really good.
Its feels like an horror-pulp-adventure, its criticized because it doesn't fit the pre conceptions of what people today, specially on /v/, think a horror game should be, i.e. moving a camera around dark places and seeing spoopy ghosts.

>>378792384
Guns aren't the problem.
The last one is.

>>378805781
>i-its just non conventional!
yeah non conventional in the sense that the game barely fucking runs and theres about a coinflip chance your save will get fucked by one of the dozens of gamebreaking bugs

Ancient fish deities are not for sexual.

>>378791986
I enjoyed it for the most part, but the portion where you fired the ship's cannons onto the shore was bugged out (torches didn't show up) and I had to use a guide to get past that portion.

Intro level and the journey through Innsmouth pretty much nailed the atmosphere.
