    has anyone got/played this game? planned on picking it up on day one for the xbox one but later didn't. game, a popular gaming store here in the UK is doing black friday deals at midnight and the game is a part of it. was wondering if it's any good?

    i played resident evil 6 on the xbox 360 (i know... horrible comparison) and got bored of it pretty quickly. also purchased alien:isolation and got bored of that quickly also. i don't want to spend £25+ on a game i'll play a couple of times then leave it sat collecting dust where i could've got a game i'd actually play for my money :manny:

    I have it. Haven't beaten it yet. Wish I had waited for Black Friday to get it. I've seen it on sale for $25. It's fun, but hard. RE6 is a bad comparison. I'd say more like RE4.

    It looks awesome from what I've seen, but RE6 put me off that genre of gaming. I haven't even fully beaten the game yet and currently have no intentions to either. Don't want that to be the case with Evil Within also seeing as Alien:Isolation hasn't been out of its box for like a month

    f--- RE6. Seriously that game was just terrible. There's plenty of games that are bringing back the survival horror genre. Evil Within, Outlast, Alien ISO. Just wait for the full game of that PT demo. Remake of RE early next season, and hoping for a new Dead Space, but better than DS3.

    Ah, tell me about it. I had to force myself to finish the story then when I learnt Ada has a story I was like :beli: started it, couldn't be bothered with it and haven't been played since. Hopefully the PT demo isn't only for Playstation, cause that would s--- balls. Alien is a good game I'll probably go back on it but in no rush too. Dead Space 1 was awesome, never got around to playing 2 and with the bad reviews never bothered with 3. Shame the franchise is pretty much dead (no pun intended:shaq:)

    I enjoyed DS2. I think as of now PT is a timed exclusive but I'm not 100% sure.

    Hope PT eventually comes to Xbox One. Would s--- if it starts as a timed exclusive and stays an exclusive

    Evil within was ok. Got to a boss fight later in the game that was so incredibly cheap I rage quit and traded it in. You'll die a lot, and 99% of the time it's a cheap death.

    Got Watch Dogs Vigilante Edition instead. The Evil Within deal kept taking me to the maintenance page and WD was cheaper. I'll pick it up eventually, though.

    Currently in the middle of Evil Within right now. I actually haven't played in a couple weeks (since halo) I'm on chapter 5, but its pretty decent. Graphics are pretty good. I'm enjoying it so far.

    Why i everybody talking about PT like it's going to be a full game? Silent Hills will be the full game, which will probably be a whole other experience altogether, or am I missing something?

    Very boring. Haven't found a good survival horror game since the original Dead Space. Dead Space 2 was ok, but the third.....

    Evil within is pretty d--- cool,
    If you liked RE4 there's like a 90% chance you'll like EW
    Dont trust the gameplay vids though, i watched a bunch before i got it and thought it looked like RE5 mercenaries or some s---, it's not like that at all
