Nah, mechanically it's super unique. Stuff like the matches add a ton of nuance to how you engage with enemies.

Hopefully the sequel fixes the polish issues.

I really don't like systems with huge logos or huge art on them like that. Just feels like you're being sponsored or something.

>>380425128
matches are the most retarded shit in the entire game, especially when they're introduced in a way that would imply they serve the same purpose as in RE.
That and the ebin zombie look over its shoulder that's totally not from RE scene just proves how much of a hack Mikami is.

That's your problem, you tried to approach this as if it was Resident Evil and it isn't.

>>380425786
>you tried to approach this as if it was Resident Evil and it isn't.
And that's why it is pointless. pressing c next to a stack of hay or a dead body while an enemy is attacking you to burn them both is not what I'd call a "ton of nuance".

When you're playing on higher difficulties you actually have to think about doing stuff like that all the time to save resources.

Agreed, but I also really, really liked TEW. It was one of the games I actively wanted to see.

I wanted to like the first game, but it's just really bad. Having gotten the Platinum for it and all the trophies for the DLC, as well, I can safely say that the entire experience was really poor.

One major problem is the plot: Ruvik can seemingly control any part of the dreamscape that you're in but doesn't just outright kill Sebastian because no reason given.

Moreover, the game can't figure out what it wants to be. It has really generic horror parts strewn throughout the story, but the gameplay is more like something from RE4 or something. There are parts of the game which are extremely "symbolic" and dream-like, but there are other parts that feel more like you're not even in a dream and are just going through an area.

The enemies made acid traps in the hallways of a hotel? What? Why? What the hell? For what purpose? Why does Ruvik have them do this? To torture you? If so, why doesn't he just made acid leak from the ceiling?

Ruvik is made out to be some kind of Ghost In the Shell boogeyman that follows you around, but the end of the game has him turning into a giant Final Fantasy monster for some reason. And then, you find a heavy weapon vehicle flying through the air and shoot him dead with it for some reason. This wakes you up for some reason.

The whole game is a fucking mess.

If you think the gameplay is what drives TEW, then I feel bad for you because the gameplay is really stiff and inferior to even games like RE4 ( which I don't even like).

However, I will say that the trailer for TEW2 looks absolutely stunning and has completely sparked my interest in the series again. If anything, it may end up being like Uncharted where the first game is just really poor compared to the sequels.

>>380426990
I mean the story is shit, anon.

Se I can do that too. Anything can sound generic when you type like a faggot.

>On Chapter 6 now and it's not so bad

Maybe I gave the game too much shit the first time around for not being as good as RE4, though I think it was the action parts that made me drop the game.

Has Mikami said anything about coming back out of retirement for this? Has he learned his lesson? I'm just surprised that this game is being made after the reception the first game got. I'm not all that thrilled about going back into STEM because there was a certain lack of tension in the game when you'd get flung from one environment to another.

>>380427258
>If you think the gameplay is what drives TEW, then I feel bad for you because the gameplay is really stiff and inferior to even games like RE4 ( which I don't even like).

Gameplay IS what drives TEW.

Since when has a Mikami game been about the story? The story is ultimately just a reason to have a bunch of cool locations.

He said years ago that he he changed his mind after working on TEW and he wants to make a sequel to Dino crisis and Godhand.
>>380427258

Comparing the game's approach to gameplay is pointless because it's different than RE4's.

>>380427731

If Mikami didn't care about the story then he shouldn't have put in so many sequences where you're walking through corridors waiting for the game to tell you the plot or have so many jumbled metaphorical scenes. There is barely any action in the game until Chapter 6 and then as soon as you get to the mansion you have to go through Ruvik's boring sob story. The game IS plot focused and Mikami said as much. He wanted the game to be less B-horror and more pschological and ripped off Silent Hill but made it far more retarded.

>>380427937
>he wants to make a sequel to Dino crisis and Godhand
I want to believe you anon I really do

The checkpoints were too far apart

I started to play the first one, I'm on chapter 2, is there a lot of stealth in this game? I don't really like stealth games.

>>380428179

Yes and no. Chapter 1 is the only forced stealth segment that I can recall and the game becomes more action focused as it goes. But you'll want to go stealth once in a while in order save resources. Once you learn how to use matches well then you probably don't need to stealth again aside from playing peekaboo with Ruvik.

>>380426786
Ruvik liked Sebastian because he saw how they share the same trauma of losing a loved one to a fire accident.

It better be like the main game and not the shitty dlcs.

>>380429464
Why are you here, man? Are you so starved for attention?

>>380429318
Sprinting is the most important. It comes in handy for Laura fights. Melee is kind useless tho. Melee is mainly used for opening enemies up for an counterattack and gaining some space. It doesn't do much damage. Upgrading arrows is smart but they are very strong so you might want to hold off on them unless you are finding the game too difficulty.

Does attack power help break through them or am I just fucked like having the exclusive on the handgun during the Island chapters in RE4?

It's objectively not.

>can't kill enemies in the Island in one crit headshot unlike the Blacktail and Red9
>poor handling and accuracy
>exclusive gotten late when there is an abundance of shields and helmets

It's still a good gun but it ain't god tier. Unless you mean the handgun in TEW, which is actually pretty good because you can upgrade the critical asap. But then, is any weapon in TEW god tier? They're all kinda underwhelming except the Agony Crossbow.

>>380430534
Shotgun is pretty satisfying

>>380429954
>enemies start wearing masks
You can shoot the masks to break them but I think only one variant's mask was literally indestructible and that was the swat dudes.

>handgun
You shoot them in the knee caps to make them fall down. Once if they are running, twice if they are still/walking. Then you burn them.
>shotgun
body shot them to make them fall down and burn them
>crossbow
Harpoon kills them if you upgraded the damage a few times. Don't aim at the head. It bounces off. Or it was only against the swat dudes.
If it doesn't kill them, you could run up and burn them.
Flash bolt stuns them so you can sneak kill them. Same with shock bolt but in a smaller radius.
Explosive and Freeze bolts, I never really wasted on them.

>Sniper Rifle
shooting their head ignores the mask except for swat variant which just bounces off if memory serves.
>Magnum
never wasted on them except for bosses so can't tell.

>>380430534
>is any weapon in TEW god tier
The Brass Knuckles. Probably because they are pretty much a NG+ cheat
