The Evil Within 2

''Step right up and try your luck, detective''

I liked her better when she talked less.

love those mini games

God. That whole interaction was the worst... It wasn't any better in Spanish, btw.

How are you supposed to kill flamethrower guys on nightmare without smoke bolts?

Joseph DLC when?

several stealth kills from bushes
sometime

God I hope Yuri Lowenthal voices him again. Fucking new VAs are awful.

The game is so good. Why did it flop?

I wish she would check my prostate

>Without smoke bolts

A lot of shots to the head. They spongy as fuck.

Where can I get these E.T. pastries?

TEW2 is my goty. Although very different, I like it almost as much as the first game which I 100%.

Why does my EW threads never get anywhere, yet all the other ones do? I am seriously considering maybe the people calling it shills are right, and that they get a bunch of shills together at a time and bump their own threads over and over.

>which I 100%.
Who cares faggot? Literally who gives a fuck? Why would you include this detail?

Because it's not that good.

Because while it's a decent game, it somehow manages to be worse than the first game. Which was also pretty decent.

Bad marketing probably.

It got good reviews and it seems to be popular on twitch. Maybe most people bought it digitally. They said the sales figure were from physical release.

Why'd you feel the need to reply if you don't care?

...

One Sneak attack, then head shots with the sniper rifle. Don't have ammo for sniper rifle? Loot the open area until you do. You only need to take down 2 anyway.

I played the game for a week straight, until I beat it on nightmare then got 70% into a second play through. I'm done with the game and have moved on. I'm sure other people have moved on too.

Fucking this

Sounds like a faggot with shit taste. No wonder someone on Sup Forums would listen to him.

wait the sadist has blue eyes? what the fuck? why would they make the protag have ugly brown eyes but the evil antagonist has pretty blue eyes?

>tfw you got the evil within 2 right when everybody stopped talking about it
>tfw you spoiled the entire game for yourself anyway, literally a lose lose in every situation

cut my life into pieces

>tfw no Tatiana rule34

>>tfw you spoiled the entire game for yourself anyway, literally a lose lose in every situation

Same happened to me.

Why did Sykes jump right to race when Sebastian asked why he was in Mobius?

Fuck her where is the rebone Laura rule34?

>black guy isn't the first one to die

Stefano never saw a black person before, he didn't know what to do with him.

He was working for one.

Then I have nothing.

What the fuck is his problem?

He was a psychopath.

Did Hoffman diagnose him right? He was a psychopath, but the description to she gave to his motivations and traits sounded more like a sociopath.

He just wanted his art to be appreciated

I don't think she got anything right about Stefano.

It's a good decent game even with the spoilers. Horror games and what they have to offer are very unique based on the person playing. Some times, you might get scared or spooked by something I didn't.

So I knew right away the brass knuckles were OP when I saw they one-shotted Lost. I didn't realize just how OP they were until I killed the first Guardian by shock-bolting it, punching it 3 or 4 times, then finishing it off with one harpoon bolt. I was expecting it to take a lot more.

How is wireless STEM supposed to work? Mobius already said things can get fucked up if a person is crazy enough. Having STEM go wireless would be endangering everybody since a sick fuck off the street can turn into a superpowered killing machine. Unless Mobius was going to do background checks on everybody on the planet and kill the "unhealthy" ones off before activating it. But even then, it wouldn't do jack shit since somebody like Stefano managed to fool them on his evaluation test and the black pope of the boiler room Theodore worked for Mobius itself. Wireless STEM is basically the apocalypse.

I haven't played 2 but I find it hard to believe that it's as bad as 1.
Sounds like a massive contrarian.

WHEN'S RUVIK?

TEW3 aka NEVER.

Smoke bolts don't even work on them in nightmare so good luck

These dudes on Nightmare are complete bullshit artists. After the first time you stealth attack them, they always know when you're sneaking up to them.

>Smoke bolts don't even work on them in nightmare
Dude what. I'm playing on Nightmare and killed them all with two upgraded smoke bolts each.

You need to upgrade the smoke bolts to the sneak attack before it works properly. Outside of cheesing these guys with it, it is by far the most OP weapon in the game.

>tries to use a smoke bolt while enem is mid attack

whoever is playing in this webm is a retard, how many times is it going to be posted

Yeah, but at least you only need to kill 2 for the flame thrower. For the chainsaw lady, I just avoided them completely on Nightmare, didn't kill one outside of the obligatory boss phase. I took them out when I was playing NG+ on survival more out of fun than need. Had to put all those weapon upgrades to use.

That's why you use bottles, boi.

>For the chainsaw lady, I just avoided them completely on Nightmare, didn't kill one outside of the obligatory boss phase.

The one in front of city hall? You don't have to kill her either.

>Want to replay the first one on Akumu
>Remember Chapter 6

>dumb animeposter

that part was pure kino when you finally beat it after 25+ deaths in a row

Never have I been so mad before. Even AKUMU wasn't this gay.

Shock bolts and patience make Chapter 6 smooth sailing.

Besides, the fun of AKUMU is in the challenge.

just beat the first game after a week of playing. what was on that chapter?

I played the game blind, and it felt like a boss you had to kill. Don't worry though, I avoided her on my second go through. I stopped and uninstalled the game when I got back to the morgue/Lab, fuck that place. Then I said my good byes and uninstalled the game. I may have moved on but Seb will live on in my memories.

Chapter 6 - Losing Grip on Ourselves

1.Starts off in burning rooms that Joseph must be protected so he can open doors
2. Harpoon Gatling pillboxes with Sadist fight at end
3. Graveyard section with Neun and Zehn at end(giant twins)
4. Final fight is with giant guard dog

It is a gauntlet that filtered many a soul

oh, now i remember the annoyance.

Yeah, crossbow was OP in the first game too. So long as you aren't against a giant horde that's coming at you from multiple directions it's probably the best weapon.

the part where you enter the crumbling church, fight off the bazillion haunted while joseph takes 10 years to open each door

Thank fuck someone out there agrees with me.
People keep mentioning 'muh relatable Sebastian' as a positive for 2 but I just want my characters with actually unique looks, voices and personalities back.

what was the reason they ended in stem in the first game, was it all planed for then to go in or they just stumbled in the assylum and ended in it?

Couldn't agree more. If TEW 3 ever gets made, what are the chances we'll get the original VA's back?

>Sebastian in TEW1
>not generic as fuck

i mean 2 is even worse in that sense but come on

>It is a gauntlet that filtered many a soul
The entire game is a casual filter, I just got the plat on PS4 and was looking at the trophies and only 50.1% of people even beat the Sadist during Chapter 3. That's not even five hours into the game.

I always wondered if the game would've been better received if it wasn't so challenging.

>2 didn't even get a season pass

3 is NEVER EVER coming, and neither is dlc for 2.

Once I realized that Ruvik appearing in 2 meant no Jackie Earle Haley, I'm now okay with his absence.

>Long time VAs on strike
>New and unique voices

By wanting the best VAs that did all the roles between 15people, you're only admitting that they should strike and should get residuals for their work long after the shelf life. Next, you're going to be saying that you want free college, free health care, free money and open borders.

I'm unto your type.

>Why can't i win fucking tetris

then i learned you don't even have to play fast, just make the shaking combos and you get up to 100K+ with gold blocks

I like how the DLC for the first game is infinitely better than the shitty base game. Chapter 6 and 11 onward were so fucking bad and boring.

Not for you homo

I feel like the game was made with the crossbow in mind and the other weapons were added for the sake of having familiar weapons.

>mfw I missed the slide after helping sykes

I'd say everything past city is shit, but saying chapter 6 and onwards sucks is a stretch.

How is Sebastian generic?

What? All I said was that the VA was far better in the first game than second. I have no idea if the people doing the voices are industry vets or some literally whos.

Yea, it is though Chapter 6 is the point that tests every iota of one's skills with the game. As I like to say, if you can beat Chapter 6 on AKUMU then you can beat the whole game on AKUMU.

TEW had a myriad of complaints mounted against it, only one of which was the difficulty.

Yea, not having a season pass is not a good sign. Perhaps we'll just have to accept that Ruvik actually got away with it. He's probably off in his own personal STEM with Laura just as he always intended.

No. 6 is shit for it's RE4 cabin knockoff and easy predictable dog fight, then it gets better. Once 11 rolls by the game is just a wave of goons, and at that point I might as well just play RE4. DLC is what the base game should have been.

How? The shit is sparkling on the counter right in front of you.

>DLC is what the base game should have been.
So a dishonored ripoff, which is a ripoff to begin with? Nice taste.

>6 is shit for it's RE4 cabin knockoff and easy predictable dog fight, then it gets better
great reddit opinion, upvoted.

I was hoping that Kidman would become Sebastian's new wife.
Also what's up with the kitty cat?

>What? All I said was that the VA was far better in the first game than second. I

You said: >I just want my characters with actually unique looks, voices and personalities back.

The VA from the first game weren't new or unique or different VA, they were actually long time veterans of voice acting. All the best VAs got together and started a strike, which is why all voice actors are now different than the usual people we hear in vidya. Man bro, you are ignorantly under informed for a hobby you take pride in. You should be on the top of the ball cause people will just roll you over like a chump and think you have nothing worth while to say.

And yes, the VAs were better in the first game, if you want the best VAs to come back, go yell at publishers to give VAs life long royalties for all the vidya they have worked in.

I don't know but I'm mad now

>fighting waves of mooks in a closed off building while the NPC twiddles around with his thumb up his ass
>fun
>stealth game where you have to think and carefully plan out your tactics if you want to survive
>somehow bad
W E W

i liked tew1 better than re4 but i played re4 first time in 2012 or so

>Also what's up with the kitty cat?
It's the Mobius mascot.

What happened to Sykes? I thought there would be a bonus cutscene at the end of the credits where Sebastian and him get a beer like he promised. DLC for his escape?

The cat & sofa in the TEW 1 DLCs are Kidman's version of Seb's mirror. A "safe place" within STEM. Don't know why the cat is in Seb's room in 2. Perhaps that is what was on Kidman's flash drive.

>Literally just a dumbed down dishonored, which is a dumbed down thief
>boring as fuck
>literally 0 challenge

>TEW dlc
>think carefully and plan out your tactics

so this is the power of redditors that hate tew because they get upvotes for it

>Also what's up with the kitty cat?

I want to believe that Titiana and the cat were part of Seb's life when he was a child. Too young to remember, but they made him feel safe. If you recall, we never learned what Seb's childhood or teenage years were like and now that the game is done with Seb having said his fare wells, do we want another game with him i it? It's another reason why I like Evil Within 2 so much, there's a finality and closure to it. I want Seb and Titiana to come back, but don't want them to deal with more nightmare bullshit. I want them to remain free and happy.

>DLC
user, I...
With RE7 being FPS and TEW2 underselling this could be the death knell of the third person survival horror, at least with AAA. Shame too, because the genre did bring us some of the best games ever made.

Smoke bolts are great. Defuses any encounter except nurses. Are frost bolts good to invest in as well? I just got them

RE7 underperformed as well, Capcom were hoping for it to reach the sales it currently has now back in June. RE6 crushed it in terms of commercial success.

Is it the first month after release in a game that is considered most important for sales, or first week?

>Are frost bolts good to invest in as well? I just got them

Practically mandatory when you get them. They freeze all the fire guys, give you free shots to the flame thrower mini bosses, and regular enemies hit by the frost, can be OTK'd by melee. They're so good, but of all the in your bolts types, they are the rarest. Use them on mini bosses or this scene when you get 3 fire footballers pounding your boy pucci at a time.

Usually month or the quarter.
