@gandalf91: Well there's nothing (more) to explain i think, we just have different taste... When i had to hide at 1st infected meeting, i felt quite scary until i see that thing lol, seriously they're so ridiculous, the voice feels cheap too (i know it's low budget game, still) and they're so slow blabla, already said that.

How could i be scared in front of such thing, so easy to run away from? I feel so bad for the poor thing that i almost want it to let me kill myself haha... Just compare them to the dogs, and also their music theme (dog around"!) i feel the Overture OST to be totally superior to the BP OST too, i listen to the Theme all the time... You could think it's cause i played Overture first, but no. Glad i did! If i played BP first, i'm afraid i would maybe didn't even the other episode!

Oh yes, Overture was much better than Black Plague.
Because Black Plague is not full of puzzles like Overture and Clarence is talking crazy all the time. The game is more mental and in minds as in reality.
It is only a corpse game with infected pursuit.
Not more full of ideas like Overture.

The infected looks like aliens and this is very worse!
But they are really scary! And in this time, I know, that they are not aliens.

Black Plague is scary and has an eerie and dirty atmosphere, but I love a game with more puzzles and therefore, Overture was the best.
Better than Amnesia, too.

In Overture are the most ideas and you can find out most things.
Amnesia was too "empty" and "easy". Black Plague was too "unreal" and have a story in psyche.

Reading your post, was you drunk when you wrote it? I mean you tell that Overture is better than Black Plague and then somehow proceed to praise how Black Plague is better than Overture.

Then again what I gather, that you think that Overture is better because of puzzle elements even if it is less like horror game than Black Plague.

I also found his message quite awkward but read it again, he clearly says Overture is the best. We can also have different view of what "horror" is.

Third. Haha

@Goja: Yeah, I agree with the theme from Overture. I listen to that most. Smile However, I find the BP danger music scarier. I understand what you mean about the infected being slow though...but the first time I played I never let them get close enough to find out how quick they are!

Find me three more and I'll try to capture a video from Overture Smile
I thought it was easy that many people manages it, as it turns out wasn't at all :/


RE: I'm finding Black Plague somehow... Boring!! - Goja - 06-02-2011

@gandalf91: Sorry, i couldn't resist to play around a little bit to "test" them, as just seeing them already makes them look funny to me...

@Tanshaydar: I had pleasure to kill the dog. It's quite a question of luck. If you miss your 1st shoot, you're gonna die probably...


RE: I'm finding Black Plague somehow... Boring!! - Googolplex - 06-04-2011

First time I play the game, it was very hard for me to kill a dog and I play on "easy".
Because you need some time to have a good control with weapons.
I just climbed over boxes and was waiting until the dog was jumping to bite me, and then I hacked him.
But now, I can fight very good with the weapons and I kill a dog like a children's play.
But the spiders are hard enemies forever.


RE: I'm finding Black Plague somehow... Boring!! - gandalf91 - 06-04-2011

Yeah, everytime I went to swing the pickaxe quickly I would ending up flailing my head back and forth, rendering me rather disoriented. It was quite irritating how clunky that particular control worked, but oh well.
