Jesus. I played this game first when I was 12 and I was fascinated by it. My PC was crappy but ran this game smoothly and it looked so awesome, with the dinamic shadows and realistic scenery. The controls and movement took long for me to get used to. It felt very complex to me to do progress. I remember getting stuck in the combat tutorial, and dreading it, because of this.
Maybe some days or weeks later I managed to pass the tutorial and entered Burkitsville, which I love for the very authentic vibe of old rustic relaxed town with a lot of old people with stories and young people that may revitalize the town in different ways. This concept of young vs old blood is also developed in Pathologic and real life.
I dreaded the second day night so so much. It was the day that paralized my progress for maybe weeks, because stuff get nightmarish at night and you need to confront monsters. I will never forget my young self scared and overwhelmed in the hotel room just listening the radio songs oldies to calm myself and carefully think about whether or not head outside. Jesus. I spent hours like this.
I think months later I printed a guide from internet to try solve the puzzles, because I was getting stuck this way as well. It was all about the plan to distract the sherif to head to the forest. The guide is still online and I recommend everyone to check it!! I can't link it but the authors are Linda Shaw, Ozma, and Norma Kuderna. It's from October 3, 2000.
It was thanks to that guide (and the game narrative) that my knowledge in english vocabulary and grammar, plus skills in reading and listening greatly improved, and it gave me momentum to keep developing my potential. I was still very young, and since this game, I became top student for english from this year until graduation, and currently I'm beyond the skills of english teachers. (Studied english pedagogy).
Naturally, Elspeth Holiday is an instant waifu I hope every survival horror fan to experience.
I like how it's basically a story expansion for nocturne and we get to play Doc Holiday instead of the stranger. Originally you were supposed to play various characters but got scrapped. Great story honestly.
Basically an unofficial sequel to Nocturne (you play as a side character from that game). This game is even harder to make to work than Nocturne, as with Nocturne if you have the disc and an old computer on XP or Vista, it should run without issues. But Blair Witch does not. It require a specific modification in files wich i can't even remember what it is, and without it, the game won't work.
Foi um dos primeiros games que joguei no meu primeiro PC, lá no início dos anos 2000. Com um Celeron 1.1GHz, 128MB de RAM e 8MB de vídeo, me garantiu boas lembranças e muitos sustos. Considero um dos jogos mais assustadores que já joguei no PC. Era um survival horror que merecia ser trazido de volta.
I don't know, from the perspective of a gamer who is almost 40 years old, objectively speaking it is a very average game. However, 25 years ago I was in love with it (as well as with the other 2 parts). I am having a midlife crisis :D and I return to the old titles with nostalgia. It would be nice to hunt the witch again and immerse myself in this brilliant atmosphere...
[ENG] Mega badass classics. I'm talking about the entire Blair Witch trilogy. I'll never forget how I bought the entire trilogy at the last minute for 200 zlotys, so I can still return to these masterpieces at any time, worse because many people don't have such a komert. Part one (Volume 1: Rustin Parr) is the most atmospheric part of the series. The action takes place the earliest, and the production itself focuses more on telling us a great story along with the use of several interesting gameplay mechanics. It would be good if this product were again on sale on the market. I count on the availability of this product in the GOG store in the future, because it's worth it.
[PL] Mega kozackie klasyki. Mówię tutaj o całej trylogii Blair Witch. Nie zapomnę jak wykupiłem w ostatniej chwilii całą trylogię za 200 złociszy, dlatego mogę jeszcze w dowolnym momencie wrócić do tychże arcydzieł, gorzej bo wiele osób nie ma takiego komortu. Część pierwsza (Volume 1: Rustin Parr) jest najbardziej klimatyczną częścią z serii. Akcja dzieje się najwcześniej, a sama produkcja w sobie stawia bardziej na opowiedzenie nam świetnej historii wraz z użyciem kilku ciekawych mechanik rozgrywki. Dobrze by było, gdyby produkt ten znów był w sprzedaży na rynku. Liczę na dostępność tego produktu w przyszłości w sklepie GOG, bo warto.

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake EaterMetal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is the follow up to Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. It is the first prequel in the series, taking the series to the year 1964. The player takes the role as the series' original antagonist, Big Boss, then known as Naked Snake.
MGS3 is the first game in the series to take place in a jungle. This unique setting created an opportunity for new mechanics. The player can adapt to the environment by swapping Snake's camouflage, hunt animals and gather plants for food. This iteration in the series introduced a new feature in which the player must apply medicine and perform medical procedures on Snake if he is damaged in combat. Apart from the survival themed features, the controls and gameplay of the game are very similar to Metal Gear Solid 2. Like other Metal Gear games, the focus is on stealth, but the player can go through the entire game like a shooter if they choose to. Throughout the game Snake acquires weapons of all types; non-lethal firearms, handguns, sniper rifles, machine guns, shotguns, sub-machine guns, and explosives.
Metal Gear Solid 3 was the first game to implement the CQC (close quarters combat) system. CQC allowed Snake to beat enemies down to knock them out, or put them in a chokehold to knock them out, kill them, or and/or question them.
Metal Gear Solid 3's health system required the player to occasionally pause the game and treat Snake's ailments. When Snake is shot, there is a chance that the bullet didn't pass through him, requiring the player to use a knife to remove the bullet, apply disinfectant, apply styptic and bandage the wound. This was done through a submenu in the pause screen. Other ailments the player must treat Snake for include: leeches, broken bones, burns, cut, arrow/bolts/needles, stomach sickness, colds, and food/venom poisoning.
Adding to the survival elements of the game, Snake Eater lives up to its name by requiring the player to scavenge food for Snake. Under the life bar there is stamina bar. If Snake does not eat any food the bar depletes, causing various effects. When the stamina bar is low, the player's ability to aim is severely handicapped, Snake's hands will shake in the first person aiming mode. Just like real life, Snake's stomach can also rumble, enemy soldiers can hear this, and will be alerted to Snake's presence.Action Fantasy Historical Stealth Survival Drama
