Bet everywhere you go you are thinking of cum guzzling you flamer. Your father must not be proud of his sissy young littlebig planet addicted half son half daughter.

Boohoo, so you want to go against the grain good for fucking you, numbshit. For just about everyone else and critics as well it was a huge step forward. I to this day still find great enjoyment from it, and the controls are far from terrible. Somewhat un-intuitive by the standards of 11 years later, but still not bad.

I nearly stopped reading when you said this game had a weak story plot. ALRIGHT. No, this game doesn’t have a whole bunch of cutscenes but, as Finch states comments below me, you’re looking for a horror movie, and you shouldn’t be playing a game, but rather hitting the theater. This game stays true to quality over quantity. It’s not as if there is only one cutscene per six chapters. No, that’s not true. This game has at least two cutscenes per chapter, with a total of fifteen chapters, so that’s enough quality cutscenes to satisfy the hungry eyes.

I’m honestly curious and I’m not trying to be catty or rude but, did you not understand the story upon completion? The story was rich with history and puzzles and to completely enjoy the game, you first had to understand it. That being said, did you understand it? The creators expect the players to possess the skills to piece together the hints and story slices they give you each chapter. You harbor quite the bitter tone when speaking of this game, and I can only assume it is because you either found the game too difficult, or didn’t finish.

I understand that this is an editorial, written for the purpose of finding the flaws in TEW, but I think to write such a harsh article on this particular game, you need stronger reasons, or you need to write about a different game.

I also understand that you will either find this comment spiteful and rude, or mildly interesting and an average person’s opinion on an editorial they mostly don’t agree with but I hope this doesn’t make you angry or this doesn’t damper your day because that is not my objective. I just wanted to respond to the article with my own opinion.

I hope you have a great day, because in the end, it’s just a clash of opinions that no one will lose sleep over.

I will…I am glad I bought the game too! It continues to surprise me!~

No idea where this poor story telling came from either. Is that because he couldn’t understand it or what?

It really doesn’t deserve “Broken mess”, “Bad ideas” and “Not fun”.

Please ignore this guy he has no idea. Im glad I spent the money on this one. Alot worse games out there.

Criticizing someone for criticizing in an editorial. Makes sense.

Thanks man! It’s good to have some support on this 🙂

You comments gave me a chuckle, if nothing else because you don’t know the meaning of “self-serving” or understand how bullying works.

You’re precious!

Have a good one! 😀

On second thought, Chris, I’ve read several more of your replies to readers, and I would like to rescind my previous apology, because you are clearly a self-serving pile of human waste.

You’re a hindrance to this publication, and I hope you’re fired promptly.

You’re also potentially in violation of cyberbullying laws in several jurisdictions, especially if you actually believe that the people you’re defaming are children.

Think whatever you like of me, but don’t forget: you’re the 40-or-50-something picking fights with your readers when you should be acting professionally.

Have fun jackin’ it to pictures of topless Ataris.

Get bent.

Although all the points in this article have at least some validity, the tone is laughably bitter!

This is an art title. It’s no more sadistic than it should be, it’s clearly intended to leave you confused and panicked at every turn, and the flaws outlined here are all painfully exaggerated. It’s probably not for everyone, and the marketing was perhaps too effective.

Clearly, *someone* (lots of someones, actually) set their expectations far too high. Man up and write objectively, or don’t publish.

5. Do you recall what Sebastian has been though? Anyone would be physically weak and trudging along like a tank after experiences like that.

4. Yeah, automatically blame the devs for something that could be the fault of Microsoft, the porting team, or possibly even a deadline-bound publisher. That’ll teach ’em.

3. Collision boxes aren’t perfect on PC – maybe there’s another Xbox-specific issue here – but I’ve seen so much worse from recent AAA titles.

2. Haven’t seen a horror/thriller game that makes use of files and audio logs in the last decade and a half? Now I’m seriously starting to doubt your credentials.

1. Can’t argue that quick turn and less cludgy rotation control in general would be nice, but get a grip.

Before you fire back at me, consider this:
I’m playing the role of a troll right now, but what would you reckon you were doing when you reached for the publish button? Nothing more constructive than I, that’s for sure.

Now, my apologies for speaking with such a patronizing attitude. Maybe you just had a bad day, or felt sincerely let down, and we can all relate to those moments. I hope you can understand my point, and can take it lightly if you please.

All in all, The Evil Within was a pleasant addition to my collection. It was nothing mind-blowing, but I hope to see games build on and refine this formula in the future. Can you agree with that much?

(On the other hand: if you can’t take this criticism, then I honestly hope Google Now never recommends to me another article from this publication. This was my first impression of The Koalition, and I’m frankly a little bit appalled — I usually quite enjoy articles that disect a major title’s flaws.)

Mirrors: Also a hot spot for grammar and reading comprehension.
Noted.

Wait… standards?!

I feel you. I too, am totally satisfied to play a game with lazy mechanics when the story more than makes up for it. I mean, I haven’t experienced a better story since I discovered Uwe Boll movies. Thank goodness for this game.

My mind is only blown by how much your parents must have spent on your stupidity. Anyone who buys games en masse and plays them no matter what the quality level is pretty stupid.

You have very low standards, dude. If this game is the “one of the best games you’ve ever played”, you must just shop out of the Gamestop bargain bin.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have SO MANY bribes to cash in from all the competition!!! because obviously a dissenting opinion about a game pointing out obvious flaws MUST BE PAYED OFF!!

I been playing games probably since before you were born. My first console was an Atari 2600, so I pretty much know A LOT more about video games than you do.

This article is an editorial, not a review. It’s pointing out the problems with The Evil Within. It’s coming from a negative point of view because I’m pointing out what’s wrong with the game, genius!

Did you not read the part of article where I mentioned even RE3 had quick turn? That game probably came out before you were born! Voicing concerns about glaring problems in a game is not complaining.

I played every RE game since the first one back in 1997, so I probably know much better than you how that works. The point is it’s 2014 and games have evolved since then. Go back and read, or maybe learn to read 🙂

No quick turn again no quick turn in the classic games, all of these complaints are from people who are never satisfied with anything.

You do realize the devs constantly mentioned RE 4 as influence right? AND ALSO, this is not a review. Re-check the title.

“I think this game is really one of the best games i ever played”

…..my standards must be too high
