 You should start putting aside some money in order to buy a new computer, it's not worth upgrading this one.

I put a couple of hours into this the other night and I'm enjoying it so far. They use a town as kind of an open world hub - or so it seems so far - and while it's incredibly basic, it's nice to at least have the illusion of being in a somewhat nonlinear world. The story continues right after the last game, although you definitely don't have to have played through the first game to get into this one, a 10-second recap of it at the beginning of this one pretty much points out how little actually happened plot-wise in it. The game brings back the same thinking mechanics where you have to underline important words in documents and then piece them together to make deductions. It's still a neat idea but it's just as clunky and frustrating as it was in the first game and there are many times where you know what you have to do but can't get it as exact as the game wants. It's still a fun game though, and I like the fact that they're trying to be a lot more ambitious this time around. They might not be able to quite pull it off but they come close enough to make it worth playing.

after watching youtube videos of someone playing, im even more dissappointed now, the atmosphere turns out to be better than i expected, but the suspense from the first game has been replaced with the computer taking over the camera and slowly moving it to reveal "scary picture" "characters" etc... just like in the demo. I will drink wine to accompany this cheese after I buy it.

You shouldn't give up on the game until you get to the large mansion where the second half of the game takes place, that's when the game hits its stride. The only problem is you have to trudge through that old shack and the caves underneath it which are full of some incredibly obtuse and annoying puzzles which can be incredibly frustrating and time consuming.

Played the demo and thought it was pretty good, though I agree the game's decision to take control away from the player to slowly pan toward important "scary" moments, like finding the frozen corpse, completely fails since it takes you out of the moment - similar to when other games use cut scenes to show you the most important parts of the game because it's afraid you might miss it otherwise. Otherwise, the game feels competent enough, so I will still give it a go. And yes, it can't be worse than Barrow Hill, which I enjoyed and was alright, but painfully slow and not scary at all.

I'm getting the PhysXloader.dll error myself, and I know I have a Physx compatible graphics card. Geforce 8700 Mobile. -_- I want to play this!

Well I bought the collector's edition of darkness within 1 and 2. They install perfectly and play well up to the point where in Darkness 2, you have to read a letter and underline certain words. On mine the edit tools don't show, so i can only read the damn thing and not carry on. I'm in the process of downloading beta patch 1.06 to see if this sorts it out. My specs are
Windows 7 Ultimate x64 AMD Athlon x2 64 @ 5200 6 Gig of DDR 2 ram 1 Gig DDR 3 Graphics on Direct x 11 |
