Also, I will be doing a marathon playthrough of this same as the first one when it releases!
And post about it in the typical manner I used to do ages ago :/
The Evil Within 2 Shows Off Its First Serial Killer Antagonist
Heading into the realm of the twisted even more so than its predecessor, The Evil Within 2 sees now-former detective Sebastian Castellanos discovering that his daughter Lily may actually be still alive and in the hands of the corporation Mobius, who are using her to create Union, a world that connects human minds together.
So Sebastian now has to journey through Union, but the serial killers used for experiments who have left their own imprint in this hellish dimension won’t make it easy. And now Bethesda would like to introduce you to one of these killers, insane artist Stefano Valentini, seen in the new trailer below.
A former war photographer who lost his marbles after being blinded in one eye, Stefano became obsessed with capturing the exact moments right before death as a person accepts their fate. Of course, as you may have guessed, he decided to take matters into his own hands when it came to producing those moments.
So combine a mad artist with a flair for the theatrical with a dimension where he can potentially bend reality to his will, and you’ve got a recipe for some disturbing yet fascinating imagery.
Stefano isn’t the game’s main antagonist, of course, but if the others can leave an impression as memorable as his, The Evil Within 2 may indeed have what it takes to top the original and produce some amazing psychological horror, and we’ll see if it can when it comes out on October 13 for PC, PS4, and XB1.
Game is receiving generally high and surprisingly better reviews than I was expecting so far. Definitely interested in this but will wait for black friday
If the reviews are anything to go by, it will most likely end up in the same range as the original. And I thought the first one was mediocre af. So, gonna skip this.
It took me 14 hours to reach half way mark. So I am guessing it will take 30 hours. Which is longer than first game. It is fun to play except for insta kill stealth sections, which are few.
It took me 14 hours to complete 11 chapters and next 4 hours to complete other 8 chapters. Midgame gameplay becomes linear. Good game, much easier than first in survival difficulty. My total number of deaths was 14.
Phil keeps talking about breaking barriers to gaming, making it accessible on all platforms yada yada, while killing competition and creativity at the same time. the fact that i actually believed him for a second lol
Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.
if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

"These changes are not a reflection of the creativity and skill of the talented individuals at these teams or the risks they took to try new things" ... seems to me that's exactly what it is
So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.
Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.
