The trailer was pretty awesome, but I'm going to make the call now: The game is going to suck.

How do I know? Because they always, ALWAYS drop the ball on these types of games. Always.

And what say you now?

^O snap...a challenge.

No, I wasn't meaning to call Toonces out on it. I was genuinely curious what his opinion was now. I assume by the :-[ that he loves it(?).

I still don't own it and can only speak to my experience of watching LP videos of the entire game, which is good enough for me. I really don't need to shit my chair playing this game. :-\

I do.

I get the impression that the general consensus is "pleasantly surprised". Apparently it turned out to be a pretty good survival horror. The LP videos I've seen are certainly impressive.

I keep wanting to play it, but my first encounter with a xenomorph totally freaked me out. So I haven't been back yet!

One of my co-workers has been playing it on his Occulus Rift. He keeps hitting himself on his furniture when he plays and comes in all bruised. I really wish I could use the Rift myself but sadly you need two fully functioning eyeballs for it to work.

Amblyopia?

Silent Disapproval Robot · January 11, 2015, 09:26:26 AM

Nope. Damaged optic nerve from the left eye to the brain. 20/100 vision in that eye and it can't be fixed with "lasers".

I did go through all the joys of eye patches and even surgery as a kid before the quacks realized it wasn't amblyopia though so that was fun.

Sorry to hear that. :(

I haven't played it, BC, but is surely doesn't look like it sucks. Basically I was completely wrong! :)
