ED Impressions (spoiler free)
 

I've been playing this game for a little bit now. I need to mow the lawn, lunch was sitting in front of me, and I just killed myself. Good time to stop, huh?

This game is freaky. If you were scared by Resident Evil, you will probably **** your pants. The music is just freaky. I'm still getting the chills, honestly. It's... the voices *shakes*

I don't want to say too much, but insanity killed me. I lost my sanity in this one room, left cause I was low on health, and it distracted me enough where I triggered the trap with the giant swinging blades, and walked straight into it. Somehow, the game got me to a point where I was no longer thinking, but just was scared.

Anyway, this game looks really deep. I've barely scratched the surface. I haven't even used magick yet.

I haven't had enough time to play it to give you full impressions, but that'll come soon enough.

Play the game alone, in a dark room, with the volume turned up. This game r0x0rz.

try playing clive barkers undying.....u might like it:D

Will be waiting for more!:D

I've really got to buy this game. RE really wasn't scary..it was like...BOO! :p

Well... Er, these two games are totally different. First and foremost, Clive Barker's Undying is in first person. Even though the game is good, I doubt it will touch Eternal Darkness in terms of fright factor and immersion.

2 and a half hours through the game. Story is very interesting. But it's hard to to put all the pieces together, at least for now, but it feels like it's supposed to be that way.

As for the sanity effects... Denis you're sick! Those things are not even funny. :mad: They ended up killing me a few times, and I even fell for one I knew was in the game.

And that mansion is creepy man. Seriously, I'm scared to walk down the hall. You'll understand soon enough.

Graphics are great, sound is awesome, story is really deep. I think Fran said you need to really put at least 6 hours into this game.

Trust me, you want this game.

HELL YEAH!! I'm SOOO psyched for it!! i haven't been freaked out for a long time and i'm realllly wanting this!!! So ur sayin that when an insanity effect happens, your characters mind thinks its really real and it kills ya? even tho u hadn't even gone thru that door u were gonna? or is it just u were so freaked out u were runnin away and ran into a trap u knew was there but didn't even think bout it? Hehe, i heard a voice chanting a spell on the ED website and i just bout pissed myself right there! I can't wait to be pissed outa my shorts :p! :eek:























Hehe...... BOO!:bat:

Damn sounds good.

You guys are lucky.

Can you believe RE hasn't been released here yet. It will b in September:eek:

Maybe I'll get my Cube modded, and import.

Dunno :unsure:

I think you're just a wuss... :p

RE isn't scary.... like BF said, it's just like things pop out and startle you... that's not scary.... and it didn't even really happen that much in RE :p

I doubt ED will scare me... but I dunno... I don't have that giant HDTV that takes up the whole wall along with a sound system that makes it feel like there's an earthquake going on like gekko has so... :rolleyes:

:sneaky:

Can anybody spare 50 bucks? :(

I got scared when I played RE2 (well only played it for a while). Those things that jump out and scare you are the worst.

Like RE has all that type of stuff, SH is just freaky, I'm sure ED will be different from both, and I'm highly anticipating this title.

I got $100 for u.

But I don't like sending money via the mail. You can't trust ne1 nowadays :sneaky:

If you can find a way to get to my house within the next day or so, the $100 is urs...........:cool:

If you can hold off, you can just get this. It makes your European(I think that is what you have) 'Cube region free. I wish they would make a U.S. one, unless some other company has.:unsure:

There's so many different sanity effects. I'm trying not to spoil anything in this thread. I've encountered quite a few, some made me laugh, some made me want to kill Denis. Some you barely notice.

Ill agree that RE wasnt all that scary. Silent Hill on the other hand...that was scary. I only played a little of it, but those babies might have been the scariest thing in a videogame ever. You never knew where they would appear, why they were there, you couldnt kill them...they didnt do anything...they were just plain spooky...

Im thinking ED prolly has scary stuff like that...more stuff that messes with your head, makes you think, not like RE stuff, that is just like crap jumping out at you.

Actually, I only got a 27" HDTV. Not worth spending thousands considering they don't even know what the standards for digital broadcasts will be yet. But I am playing in 16:9 and it's sweet.

And if you want to experience ED, you need to play alone, with no light, the sound turned up as loud as you can have it (or wear headphones), and without a guide. It be fun.

As for Ed scaring you, RE didn't scare me. Only that once when the dog jumps through the window in the original game. But ED... ED is another story all together. ED won't scare you? Two words for you: Bath tub. Ok, so I made it two words, so what? :mad:

You mean...

*spoiler or something*






*presses examine* *camera swoops down to tub* * screaming noise as you see yourself lying dead in the tub*.....





*end that spoiler thing*


Didn't scare me, if that's what you're talking about ;) I saw it in a movie... That's just another jump out at you thing... only it does it with sounds only and the screen flashes too, right? That's sorta like the noises in Silent Hill that come from nowhere... only in Silent Hill, they're meant to come from nowhere.... "People are afraid of what they can't see" or whatever the hell that lead developer dude said :p

NOOO! i never meant to read that spoiler! Dammit, i was misslead... i didn't realise u were givin a spoiler warning untill i finished reading it :p Please tell me he's wrong... he's wrong right? yeah... of course he's wrong ;)

Thanks for that!!

Is it out yet?

And why do you want one for the US cube??

I will definetly look into this!

BTW who's in the avatar?

DsH please edit your spoiler warning because it's not clear enough that it really is. Luckly I already passed that, but I haven't read one single real spoiler on the game because I want to expierence it myself. I knew that game was going to be good so I haven't watched any videos and didn't read any previews or reviews in order not to spoil it.


I had a few insanity effects myself. Only one got me killed, the others were funny and one spooked me.

:( I read the spoiler... *sticks pencil into ear to kill short term memory*

DAMNIT BRIAN I DIDN'T GET THERE YET! :mad: STOP SPOILING!

;)

This game r0x0rs my b0x0rs.

I didn't experience many sanity effects because only after I finished playing for 2 hours did I realize that FINISHING ENEMIES OFF MAKES YOU REGAIN SANITY!!!!

*pouts* I wanna go crazy. :(

But didn't you- oh, you mean in the game...

It says release date 7/20/02. But I'm not sure if its out yet. I want one for the US one so I can play all region games(since I am in the US). Well, I can't find a good close up of Stacy Keibler's face or something like that, so I resized a pic and made it resize to look the best quality. Plus, I got it down to the max. GT allows for pixel size, thats why it didn't turn out too great:unsure:. But I will change it eventually:D

how can sanity affects kill you:unsure: i've been playing it and it hasn't happened to me. do you mean when the sanity get really low that it starts taking your health too?

the game is pretty sweet. i have a feeling its going to be shorter than i expected though:( i think i'm already half way through it but i dunno. i'm the archeologist right now. haven't had much sanity affects cause i'm just too good:D definately my favorite cube game so far though.

heh, that voice in the site is actually backwards talk, if you record it and reverse it back to normal your whole "creepy spell thing" will turn into a guy saying "I gotta take a leek so bad i can taste it!"

you should try that out.

No you don't, trust me. And if you wanna go insane more, choose the green path.

Ya, low sanity can take your health too. And you're only on Chapter 6. And the game keeps getting longer and longer with each character.

Liesten to Gekko. The sanity meter can go down really fast with the first (young) characters since they don't have a lot of life experience and get spooked easier. And finishing monsters off recover sanity but not as fast as it goes down. Plus maybe you haven't reached the sanity meter start up yet since you played only 2 hours. It beginis only when you meet the first blue zombie.

LOL!!! ya right! really? :lol:

It's just one very short insanity effect meant to make you jump... jeez yous guys... It's like saying that dogs are gonna jump out of the windows in RE... but nobody would say "OH YOU RUINED IT!" about that... :p

Now if you went down and listed every single thing place that things pop out, that would be annoying..... but still.. :sneaky:

But you guys have moved on... :D

yeah uhh... ED... umm... r0x0rz?

LMAO!!! Zen was right.

"Geez (might be please), I gotta take a leak so bad i can taste it!"

hehehehhe

*SPOILERS (SORT OF)*











the game did get long with dr lindsey, the archeologist. i think i was insane the entire time! the affects were pretty cool. my limbs started falling off and stuff. my head fell off and started quoting hamlet too. then i thought i accidently reset the game once! um.....i went through a door and came out a zombie! i was one till i got killed as him, then back to normal. then he was always yelling and shooting at things not there:unsure: but what irony that he was the only one to survive! i wish more would survive. the guy who said damn a lot and went kind of crazy was a cool chapter. saw his ghost running around the mansion earlier. the statue with the turning head is feaking me out! and whoever is calling the mansion needs to quit it!!! the paul luther one was disturbing:eek: one of his hallucinations was pretty weird. i'm on the big fat blue guy now. i was also wondering if there are any hidden characters. i read after you beat it twice you get a character select, so maybe some hidden ones appear there.














*SPOILERS OVER (SO IS THE POST:))

No, no more please ;) i'm prolly reading into this a bit too much but i'm guessin that red is the easier since green is harder and the meanings of the colors are reversed... *Noo, i'm to smart for my own good ;) that is if i'm right... *

Umm... not really. The green path makes it harder to keep your green meter up. Red makes it harder to keep your red meter up. Blue makes it harder to keep your blue meter up.

Now think about it, what meter would red deal with? :p

And actually, I heard blue is hardest, for reasons you'll understand a little ways into the game.

I choose blue and it hasn't been too bad so far, although I just cleared chapter 4.

Well keep in mind, chapter 4 isn't too far into the game. I'm trying to make this thread spoiler free, otherwise I'd explain why blue is the hardest.

Well Gekko I got the red path and you are right. I've had to use the amulet and the recovery quite a few times just to keep it up to survive trough battles. So I just can't immagine how a guy low on blue can go up against a boss.

Well I guess I'll find out why when I get further into it. At least I can get the hardest one outta the way first.

Yeah, gekko, with the girl in the second chapter and all those blades, my sanity was long gone and I just wanted to run run run.. Then I realized the game (!) was messing with my head, and I knew I might die, so I took it slower.

Then in the Charlemagne chapter when I was about to fight the final boss is when that sanity effect that empties your inventory hit. Of course I think everyone knows that effect, yet while I was getting my ass kicked I just wasn't thinking and I thought maybe all my stuff had disappeared when I died (for some reason with that boss it let me die and come back to life, twice). Then the screen flashed and even then I didn't realize what the insanity effect was... I thought maybe the whole boss fight was an insanity effect. Finally figured it out... but, damn, this game is messing with my head. Those knocks on doors are really creepy, too.

I did orginally choose the green path, and I went freakin' bonkers in Karim's level.

Insanity = :D
