Where's the Too Human love, Bill?

Wasn't impressed with Eternal Darkness' gameplay, so I'm not a Silicon Knights fan... =)

Plus at the current rate, Duke Nukem Forever seems more likely to come out before Too Human ever does.

It's rumored that SK is working on three games right now. It makes me wonder how game companies like that can continue to exist without having to release a product in years. Where do they get all this money from?

Publishers. Publishers give the money, developer makes the game, publisher and developer hope the game makes back the money spent to make it. Similar to the movie business.

Bill hates fun games confirmed.

Eternal Darkness = Painful to play
Berty implies "fun game"
Painful = fun?

Berty's a masochist... =(

Coming from the guy who said after ED that Silicon Knights would make the next Zelda..

But you are right; Eternal Darkness's gameplay was serviceable but nothing incredible. Yet it is still in my Top 5 GameCube games. I think it's the only game ever that I didn't care about the gameplay of, since the presentation was so amazing.

I <3 ED. Me and ED will go on forever together.

Thank you ED.

Eternal Darkness will always be one of my favorite games of all time.

Too Human will probably make me dive in and buy the 360.

I was going by rumblings and suspicious interview quotes, not personal preference or fanboyism...Thankfully I was wrong... ='D

These split topics are getting confusing when the original post is a reply to a post that didn't get moved over.

Agreed. It seems they're quite serious about "staying on topic" this time around. $:-\$

It's retarded

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #13 on:** February 16, 2008, 04:57:29 AM »

This is pointless, making a whole new topic out of this...

(And it also makes it look like I'm just doing some baseless trolling! ='D)

Seriously, our boards were just fine before when they weren't sanitised and so rigidly moderated? What gives, Evan?

mantidor · « **Reply #15 on:** February 18, 2008, 06:45:37 AM »

well if it wasn't for this I wouldn't have remember I have to get the real ending of the game!

ED controls were clumsy, but the cool sanity gimmick and spells made up for it.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #16 on:** February 18, 2008, 08:06:43 AM »

ED controls were remarkably easy. Enemies were torn down quick. My 2nd and 3rd play thru only took 5-6 hours each. I wished MGS Twin Snakes controlled like it.

ReverendNoahWhateley · « **Reply #17 on:** February 18, 2008, 10:06:36 AM »

Keep in mind that before Eternal Darkness, the Resident Evil control scheme was standard for survival horror games. And everyone should agree that Eternal Darkness controls WAY better than Resident Evil 1-3. Those proto-Resident Evils felt more like a really slow, awkward Rock 'n Roll Racing than an action/puzzle game.

Kairon · « **Reply #18 on:** February 18, 2008, 10:30:51 AM »

Rock 'n Roll racing was awesome. But...wel... Eternal Darkness wasn't scary in gameplay. Enemies were easy. Unless you had a gun... guns were useless against enemies, so modern day characters actually had more to fear in the game.

I actually took my GameCube over to a friend's house tonight. She thought the game sucked. Mainly because she sucked at the game I think, but her main complaint was that the camera angles sucked, and she couldn't point and click at the enemies to make them die.

I gave her my standard lecture on how PC Gamers just suck at any game where you can't click on the enemy to make them die, but she just said that she didn't think that when backtracking she should have to put up with a camera angle that showed 10 feet in front of her. I told her that no camera system was perfect, and refrained from telling her that she was on crack.

In short, the answer to your question is that Eternal Darkness is intended for a person who has a love for dark things, and has a minimum of ability to solve simple tasks of dexterity and problem solving. My friend had a problem differentiating the R button from the A button.

Eternal Darkness is a very intellectual game, and the true genius of it may very well be over some people's heads, given the truly literary atmosphere of the game. If you don't like to read, and you don't like deep things, it's entirely possible you don't like Eternal Darkness.

This is NOT the S-U-P-E-R we know.

Eternal Darkness is hardcore, confirmed.

I was referring to the rather deep literary references and epic backgrounds that joe-blow-works-at-gas-station would not normally understand. I didn't bother fighting with you, because frankly, I think you are one of the people I was referring to.

But... but I LOVE Eternal Darkness! I watch foreign movies! I'm trying to read Jane Austen's works right now! I...I... *breaks down crying*

Great trolling exercise. For a moment, I believed that poast.
