l0rdtr3k: But doesn't that defeat the purpose of the thread? To ask for games and is not like I'm spamming the thread, I post there every 2-3 weeks now.
Possibly, but that is just the way the world works. You get downrepped for doing what the thread was set up to do, I get spat at and abused by people for being in the relationship I am in, the world is full of jerks who love to do things just to make themselves seem better. There is no point in letting those people change you or get you down, just keep doing what you are happy doing and ignore them. Life it way too shot to let the little thinks like that bother you.
ElTerprise: Good to know...I think i'll try them both. Usually i use Mouse and keyboard for first-person games but i have also used my 360 controller for them before (I even once committed sacrilege by playing a FPS with the pad ^^). When i play games i mostly use headphones - unless it's local co-op. Playing it in the dark probably means playing it in the basement....which could make it even scarier ;).
I am usually fine with the keyboard for those types of games as well (first-person), but I had a little trouble with this one when getting chased, and I just found it easier with the controller, but you may be different, so it's probably a good idea to test both. If you are fine with the keyboard then great, many people say the game handles a little better with the keyboard and mouse.
Or you could just play at night time with the lights out, that would save you going to the basement. :-)
j0ekerr: Stop that, stop that, I want to go into that game completely unaware and ignorant of everything that might lurk round the corner, so that I can tint my pants a darker shade of brown.
But it's good to know that it really manages to pull off genuine scares. The first dead space had a few genuine scary parts, but it was more tense and gore-shocking than terrifying.
My apologies, I will refrain from any further plot reveals. But those parts do happen right at the very start, so it should be okay. I would not deliberately reveal anything after the very beginning, just in case. But I will make sure to mention nothing about it that might spoilt it for you.
