Oh yeah definately. First game's goal is all about finding Howard, and in BP, you just find him and that's it, not much more about him. It just went too quick. RE: What are your thoughts on Black Plague? - pikacz - 03-29-2008 well i started playing today and so far it's as good as overture i don't think i'll write a walkthrough again due to lack of time, but maybe, who knows greets to all RE: What are your thoughts on Black Plague? - DanteDMC - 03-30-2008 Pigov Wrote:My thoughts? It was an okay game. While Overture raised questions, Black Plague only strives to answer them. I'm mostly on the same page. I wish that there were more types of enemies and explanations of how they came to be. I really did not like how the combat system was taken away. I understand what they were trying to do in terms of making the game scarier by not being able to defend yourself; but to me, it's just annoying not being able to kill your enemy. I also agree to how great it was that overture raised many questions because it was the first in the series. I think it drove the player to wait in anticipation to the second game; but, i feel that BP just didn't answer enough questions or it didn't give an answer that I was expecting. I'm a very detailed guy, so I love my game stories to be as immersive as possible with many details but BP just didn't deliver on that front. Plus, it didn't really connect itself much with the first game, I didn't feel like I was continuing from the first. So for me. Overture 9/10 and BP 6/10 as well. The reasons BP was a 6/10 for me was because of no combat (that was huge for me) lack of enemy diversity, lack of a more immersive/better story, and lack of supporting character interactivity (the main character doesn't talk back or see the supporting characters in person) and lack of a character model for phillip (look down and no legs) I still love the series, so if there's a third one I'll get it ,but yes, BP fell short of my expectations and the lack of combat was the biggest for me.

Yeah i realised that lol all i saw is axes and pick axes and crow bars! but the torch was more freaky, the reason is when u turn a corner u see a flash light in ur eyes and they see you very easly so theres not really much of hidin in it. except if u hiude behind doors or block it then hide lol RE: What are your thoughts on Black Plague? - Fatbaticus - 04-23-2008 I preferd black plague it's not the infected its clearence, I just hated when he does jks on you "example" when u come across the hallway when u saw the dead dogs and that ghost dog jumps at you. Now that made me piss my pance almost. The bit how the body fell off the roof when u enter the darkness. That scared me. Theres alot of really freaky things I loved about BP overture didn't really give me the creaps. the only time it gave me the creaps is when i was in the first tunnel, I didn't like that. The bit how the worms chased you. I loved that. The reson i loved the worm chasing me is because you have that adrenline feeling, and i loved that. I felt my heart beat really hard. BP scared me more though. Dream sequence scared me. when you had to get across the other end by jumping across with those moving metal floors. that freaked me out. theres alot of things that creeps me out in overture and bp. The things that scared me in overture is the first wolf that gave me the creeps and how you hear that screaming when u get out of that tunnel that gave me the creeps. Alot of things these days and there horror games. Thank you frictional games these games probably are the most, funnest game and scarryiest. Well... Not the scarryiest its just scary at the beggining well.. I loved this game! |
