Clive Barker's Undying

ThunderTitan · Unread postby **ThunderTitan** » 20 May 2007, 22:42

Wiki informs me that The game won GameSpot's "Best game that no one played" award.

Why didn't you play the game?! It roxxorz.

Agree with gamespot.
Jeez, I cant see a reason of that game low sales. Because this game is miraculous. I dont like shooters in general, but I played Undying over and over about 5-6 times. And all times except first one - on max. difficulty (and still had about 70 healthpacks left in the end)

The plot is great. And I realy enjoyed these good written journal entries.

Still we cant hope for Undying2 - there will be another game with Clive Barker involved - "Clive Barker's Jericho"

ps: Lizbeth rules (though she's completely insane)

The only thing that worries me about Jericho is the squad based game play.

This is just one of the best games ever - awesome atmosphere, smooth gameplay, engaging story. It's a rare gem.

Lizbeth gives me the creeps. I wish you hadn't reminded me of her.

How can you fear anything after getting the Scythe?! Pop goes Lizbeth's head....

Yeah.. scythe is turning-point, but before that ?

And while playing first time I didnt know that " Invoke" can kill undead .. that was hard..

ive played it.

thus it seems to me, that it is "Best game that Gamespot thinks no one played" instead.

without the scythe and the ice-ball shooting tibetian something, it could have kept up its excitingness. using pistol and missing when shooting at howlers and then running as hell was fun ^^ especially if the lights go out suddenly.

this is the kind of game i would have least expected from EA.

I still found it exciting, except that it was in the opposite way... come to papa's scythe, you little unholy aberration.

Scythe of the Celt - BEST. WEAPON. EVER.

I wonder how it come that Scythe was able to corrupt whole monastery of monks (except one

) , but didnt affect Patric..

Same reason he didn't die on that BF... he's the hero.

The only bad thing about the game is the end boss...damn he had a vault of HPs...spent an hour trying to kill the damn thing.

My favorite part is Oneiros, the Dream World....so "out of this world" kinda place.

I dont find its difficult to defeat (esp. using bunch of dynamite sticks

) , but appearence could be more impressive

Sorry guys, but I didn't like Undying at all... but that was probably because I played it after Aliens vs Predator 2 (Marine Story

).

Thats what i was doing for an hour, chucking dynamite in its mouth (or whatever he had there), the thing just wouldnt die ! Took alot of time.

Hey, AvP was rated by ESRB as M (Mature). You should have been at least 15 to play!

And then guys like you, going in colleges and shooting ppl.

Weirdly for some reason biting ppl's head doesn't seem to either give me health or cause more serious dmg then some teeth marks.

AvP1 was a good game and all, but it was too fast to be enjoyable. I didn't find it that scary either, because it always felt like, ok, a very fast "thing" attacked me, I should have responded earlier. There were even times when I used to forget those creatures were "aliens".

AvP2 (marine story only, the other stories were meh) on the other hand, had excellent pacing. The atmosphere, the sound effects, the lighting, the motion detector (loved that!)... everything was great. I've also played some multiplayer games, and trust me, slower aliens are a lot scarier than uber-fast ones.

ThunderTitan · Unread postby **ThunderTitan** » 24 May 2007, 13:11

The motion detector was the scary thing in both... but yeah, AvP2 had a better story.

Jeez, you're doing it all wrong ! You need to eat a cat at first, or something ... only then humans.
