In fact, as far as I know, there is no real version.

I assume they're talking about the Lovecraft Necronomicon...which is a fictional book. In fact, as far as I know, there is no real version. And since all the Lovecraft ones are supposed to be, at best, 200 years old...

Edit: Now that I would love to buy. Mmm, Cthulhu.

Oh okay. Because when you said, "That must be fun," I thought for a second... Well, nevermind, then.

It's weird. It's just a bunch of short stories about people who come into contact with the "Old Ones", and go crazy, or want to kill themselves, or die. A bit like the Tome of Eternal Darkness. That's why I like it.

That's the copy I have.

Done, but only if I can use it to end exsitence as we know it.

Anyway, I quite liked Eternal Darkness, but I'm a big Cthulhu fan. Getting the secret ending did get quite akward after a while, though, as the game can be repetative. The variation in the enemies is not huge.

[Biohazard EX]

Maybe you have to be an HP Lovecraft fan to enjoy Eternal Darkness... Which I'm not.

[Darkmoon]

It certainly doesn't hurt, since it's pretty much Lovecraft in all but name.

well ill get eternal darkness if i see it again then, i did really like the classic gameplay.

Cthulhu, another horror game i have yet to play.

[Biohazard EX]

Right... So maybe it was the fact that I wasn't playing the game, going, "Oh, that's just like in that book!"

The control scheme is nothing like classic RE gameplay. It's mostly with swords, and non-tank controls.

[Alexia_Ashford]

It's not mostly with swords. A lot of characters have guns too and you can choose where to shoot, like in RE. I found the gameplay similar and don't see why you found it to be a problem in ED if it wasn't for RE.

I wasn't a Lovecraft fan before this game, it was the other way round. The game started my interest in him. You don't have to be anything to appreciate and enjoy this game.

Well, all I know is that I didn't enjoy it very much. And RE's gameplay was a lot faster than ED. Even RE1 had faster running.
Yeah, there are guns, but some characters force swords, and even the final boss battle pretty much has to be fought with a sword.

[Alexia_Ashford]

Some doesn't mean all. So it's a bad game because some characters can't run very fast? Bearing in mind some, not all, depending on which character it is, for specific reasons.

I don't see how you couldn't have enjoyed the game simply because some characters don't run fast.

[Biohazard EX]

No. I'm not gonna take it apart and try to dissect every little aspect of it. All I know is that I sat there, playing it, and all that was going in my head was, "This is tedious, when am I gonna finish this chapter so that I can see who the next character is?"

[Alexia_Ashford]

Well then that's your opinion. I played the game, enjoyed every minute of it, and wasn't disappointed at the ending.

[Biohazard EX]

Right... But as you can see, not EVERYONE loved the game. So you can't just assume that whoever plays it is gonna love it.

[Alexia_Ashford]

Nor can you assume that aspects you found in the game to be disappointing, everyone else will too. Especially considering that you're not prepared to elaborate on that and justify your point, finishing it up with "Well, all I know is I found it tedious". That's not because of the gameplay. The gameplay was fine, it probably just wasn't for you. My point is that you're then saying to someone else "I warn you against buying it because of 1 2 and 3", then you're not prepared to back it up when I ask you what your issues were with them in the first place.
