Hahaha told ya! The AD700 will blow the living shit out of you! :bleh:

Anyways the DLC Justine is as good as the original. Give it a shot if you can.
 
What is this game...? I am not able to understand the mechanics. How come no weapon..? Gannu, how much you completed it..?

Is it really worth it..?

Need something, since F3 is about to end.
 
Completed it during Sept. 2010. Read the above posts Anil, you'll know the kind of game this is and what makes it different from FEAR and Dead Space types. :P
 
This one is really SHIT SCARY

played for an hour...(of course not at a single stretch...)
reserved it for playing it after finishing all my backlog (which would take almost a year :P)
otherwise i wont be able to have late night gaming sessions
 
THIS GAME IS F*CKING SCARY

I never played horror games and this was my first attempt. I thought, oh, how can a bloody game can scare me, so I turned off all lights, cracked up the volume and closed the door. It was evening time. The game started, at first I wasn't that scary, later it started for real and music, those whispers and those lamps and that diary all started working effect within few mins. Suddenly my cousin opened the door I jumped out of my chair and screamed. I think I played it for some 20 mins. This is real shit and real scary. Will try to play again once I have my guts back !

Do yourself a favor and play this game !
 
^Nice! :D

Bluffy, if you are reading this, give this game a shot if you can. Would love to hear your impressions on this!

Yeah seriously! The AD700 makes all those noises even more scary!! :D
Will play this for a good stretch tonight.
 
Ok so after the initial scary feeling, the game doesn't seem too scary now.

As for the gameplay, it is quite different from the usual. You don't have a gun for starters. That's actually quite fun. :P

However, I kinda get confused as to where to go. I've ended up just wandering somewhere and somehow been able to go in the right direction. Maybe it was meant to be that way, but I just feel a bit annoyed when I don't understand where I'm going. :P

Still most of the game is still left. Let's see how it goes. Maybe I'm feeling it to be a little dull after playing Portal 2. :P
 
^ Yup just made that acid and entered the Refineries. Stopped there.

Will continue playing tomorrow night.

Not yet played the game but I doubt it will scare me, nothing does as far as movies and games are concerned. :P The only game which has spooked me on occasions and which had an awesome scary environment was Fatal Frame II on PS2. Even Fatal Frame had a similar style of gameplay wherein your only weapon was a camera. But now that you have recommended this, I will surely give this a try. I actually have this on my back log, these days busy completing Virtual Tennis 4. :)
 
Scared shitless

Can't play it for more than half hour at a time...too stressful for my weak heart :p

reached the central cistern area after a week...bless sunlight

screw tennis, play this!
 
^That reminds me of my school days, I remember people saying that about Doom 3 when it was launched. We used to have Counter Strike gaming sessions at Gaming parlors and there people playing Doom 3 literally used to scream while playing it. I never understood the hype though, at that time it was a spooky game, sure, but how can someone get so scared? Its just a game! Maybe over exposure and me watching loads of movies has increased my tolerance level. :P
 
doom3 replied on darkness and surprise to try to scare the players

this creates the madness with atmosphere, visuals, sounds from scratch

havent played ff2 but undying and CotC were the closest ive played to horror games and they were happily conpleted

So this is why you didn't turn up for stalker's wedding, you bugger! :@
 
I'm planning to brave this adventure. Played the demo, sure is scary :P

--- Updated Post - Automerged ---

I think the voice of Daniel in his notes to self is a strong and reassuring voice. It is a nice supplement to the terrifying adventure that it is.
 
Finally mustered some courage to continue the game....

Once you get stuck in this game...its a bit hard to proceed because....u know the creepy sounds and eery environment

....after i got stuck at chemical hunting.

Got all the chemicals...but couldnt find the lab...

After the mixing... the game started progressing

again got stuck...at the collection of the rods for fixing the elevator...but this time instead of quitting decided to have some help from the walkthrough.

The collection of the two rods from the storage rooms was the scariest part

literally your blood runs cold...almost three fu.ckin' monsters/ghost scare the shit out of you

I wonder if anybody can dare to play this game alone in pitch dark, silent room with decent high volume in 5.1 speakers

Its almost impossible!!
