Bethesda The Evil Within 2 By Author’s Name

海外版なら、もしかしたらエラーが起きないかも、という期待と、買わない予定だったが海外版をプレイしたくなり購入を決意した。

６回、NEW GAMEでクラシックをクリヤしたが、運が良かっただけか、偶然か、それともエラーを克服したバージョンなのか、エラーでの強制終了が発生していない。

国内版でもレビューしたが、チャプター７で劇場前の２つの絵を見て、片方の絵を破壊してからセーブしないと、もう片方の絵を破壊しに行くときに100パーセントに近い確率でエラーが発生する。

国内版は、ベゼスダの特典DLCの無敵モードのバージョンでもエラーが発生した。私の物だけかもしれないが。

1回だけ2つの絵を破壊して、ステファノ戦の直前の流し場のような部屋の鏡のとこまで来る事が出来たことがあるが、今度は鏡の前でボタン操作の表示が出ずに、セーブ-ルームに入る事が出来ない、ということがあった。

そこでこのディスク版。

ダメもとで東側の絵を破壊した後に、サイクスを救出に行って、セーブしないで西側の絵を破壊した。エラーが発生しない。そのまま劇場で光の通路(影の部分を進まないとカメラの触手で一撃死)もクリヤして流し場の鏡に来たら、ボタン表示が出てセーブルームに入れた。ここで1回目のセーブをした。

その後もエラーは発生せずにエンディングまで進める事が出来た。

以前に国内版で東側を破壊して、サイクス救出しないで西側の絵を破壊しに行ったらエラーが発生。
またその逆も同じ。さらに西側を先に破壊して、サイクス救出してから東側へ行って、敵を全滅させてシャッターというか、柵というか、を上げた直後にエラーが発生した。

この後に国内版をプレイして、上記のコースで進めたら、エラーが発生せずにステファノ戦の直前の流し場の鏡まで来る事が出来た。そしてボタン表示が出たのでセーブルームに入る事が出来た。

確実とは言えないが、下記の順でプレイすると、この海外版ディスク購入後は国内版でもエラーが発生しない。

１　東側を進んで東の絵を破壊。

２　倉庫の鍵を拾う。

３　サイクス救出イベントを発生させる。

４　北側の拠点に行って、サーバーの電源を入れるイベントをクリヤする。

５　その後、現段階では、西側の絵を破壊してからサイクスの所に戻ってもいいし、サイクスの所に戻ってから西側の絵を破壊してもエラーは発生していない。

サーバーの電源を入れた後に、サイクスの所に戻らないと発生するかもしれないが、現在未確認。

上記にも記述したが、あくまで「未確定で、現在このコースではエラーが発生しない」です。

まだトロフィーを100パーセントコンプリートしていないので、今後もプレイするが、時間がある時にまたクラシックをプレイして、あと10回くらいエラーが発生しなければ、掘り出し物と言えると思う。

ちなみに初回から日が経ち過ぎなのか、海外版には無いのか、THE LAST CHANCE PACKは同梱されてなかった。

but still nonetheless good and worth your time. If you were a fan of the first The Evil Within, or are a fan of other horror series such as Resident Evil (especially RE4, classic RE, RE7, or the RE2 Remake), Dead Space, Silent Hill, and even indie horror games (Slender, Amnesia, Penumbra, Outlast, etc.), you will like this game and have fun with it.

The story takes place years after the first The Evil Within game, and features Sebastian, the previous protagonist, encounter one of his partners from the first game, Julie Kidman, with Mobius agents whilst drinking his sorrows down at a bar. She reveals she has information on his missing daughter, who, according to the backstory of the first game, was presumed to have died in a house fire. Sebastian is at first skeptical of these claims, but eventually follows Kidman to Mobius’s headquarters, and lo and behold, his daughter is hooked up to a Stem machine, and is acting as it’s center. Being told he can save his daughter, who went missing in the Matrix-like mental world, he voluntarily re-enters the Stem machine to find his daughter. Along the way, Sebastian also deals with the trauma of his missing wife, and the events of what happened to him during the previous game. Certain story details are less cryptic, vague, subtle, and told through audio logs and journals than in the first game. For example, Sebastian having a daughter, and what happened to his wife, were told through the journals found in the first game, but this game does not hide this information from you, and the game has a expectation that you know the events of the main story of TEW1, as well as its two DLCs, The Assignment and The Consequence that showcases Juli Kidman’s perspective before going into this game, so if you have not experience all of the story of TEW1, keep that in mind.

Without spoiling anything, Sebastian is a bit more vocal on what is happening to him throughout his second journey throughout Stem, and is voice acted very well. His voice actor is different than the first game, so that may be slightly odd to fans of TEW1. He is a little more expressive this time around, though, and reacts a little more angsty than simply just saying things such as “I knew it,” in a almost deadpan voice from the first one. Whichever style is better is up for debate, though, because silent/almost mute main characters do not equal a bad character or game. There are also well acted memorable friendly characters and antagonists throughout the game. The creatures also have good sound effects and voicing, and Sebastian’s weapons have a punchy, strong gunshot to them, too.

Gameplay-wise, it is similar to TEW1, but with smoother controls. Sebastian’s run meter is also a bit longer than it was in the first game, even at the beginning of a new playthrough. The nurse from the first game, Tatiana, mysteriously returns to act as Sebastian’s upgrade station, as well as host Resident Evil 4-like shooting gallery mini games that will reward you with more Green Gel for further upgrading yourself. She is now essentially The Merchant from Resident Evil 4, combined with the Upgrade Kiosks from the Dead Space game’s. This game does differ from the first in the fact that it is now slightly open world-like, as opposed to being more linear. Levels include side quests that are optional, but reward you with more Green Gel and sometimes other things such as specific weapons like the shotgun, so at least some of them are worth completing in my opinion, unless you do not want specific weapons or such. There are certain areas of these mini open world areas that act as safe areas from enemies, but other than that, all enemies can potentially chase you throughout the entire section you’re in, and even inside buildings. This includes some of the stronger, larger enemies that require more ammunition to put down, and even then, that still may result in another one respawning later, so it is not advised to waste ammo on these things unless you are fully maxed out with dozens of rounds. There are also various upgrade paths when spending your Green Abel, although the first game was like this, too. The rest of the gameplay is still very survival horror, though, so even though the game tries to incorporate elements from games such as Assassain’s Creed or Far Cry, it is still rooted in the genre it proudly advertised itself as back in 2014 with the last game.

The story is memorable, has some emotional moments, and is good in my opinion. However, without spoiling anything, the events of this story almost seem a bit conclusive for The Evil Within’s overall storyline, with only a hint of a possible third game. Adding to this, I purchased this game around the time it came out almost two years ago, and currently, there is still no story-based DLC like what the first game had, where two DLC stories revolves around Kidman’s perspective. In fact, there is no DLC at all. There has been a first-person mode update, so for anyone who prefers playing third-person games in first person (similar to the GTA5 first person option), that has been added since this game’s initial release.

Anyway, if you were a fan of the last game in this series, and you love other horror franchises like the ones I mentioned above, or horror in general, this game is worth your time and money, and it’s differences do not ruin its experience.

100% original product, great game, if u want a truly horrifying experience in video games…..then here it is. The story is decent and doesn’t have much connection to its 1st game

An amazing game for survival horror fans but the delivey was way too irritating as it took nearly a month to reach my address
