Wow, combat is so frustrating

[metroid]

As for panic attacks, just listened for growls when you're near a dog, or just look at them briefly then turn away so you won't panic.

You know, I think this is just more frustrating than scary.A note to developers: frustration kills fear very quickly.
Certain levels in the Thief series were scary without that useless gimmick.
And in System Shock 2 I had an assault rifle, a grenade launcher and a lightsaber but it still was scary.

Just be thankful that it doesn't have a sanity meter like Amnesia does that makes your screen go all blurry.

But I heard it's possible to turn insanity in Amnesia off, and this is what I'm going to do Well, it depends on how it's implemented in Amnesia, but insanity in Dark Corners of the Earth was a big pain in the arse.

Stop trying to win. This is more about the experience, not the combat.

What do you mean "stop trying to win". Winning=finishing the game, no?

And don't take this wrong. On the whole, I'm enjoing the game.
