Got my GPU upgrade. Time to boot the game up. Will start playing it from tonight.

Does this game require a typical horror game surroundings? Like, playing in the nights, with headphones on and lights off?

Yes, yes and a thousand times yes

Zotac GTX 560ti

You can play this baby maxed out, and oh yeah, headphones.

Played it for an hour. The game's presentation is phenomenal. Lightning effects look terrific. Sound effects are equally good. Gameplay is completely new. Took me a while to get used to it. And the frames are pretty smooth.. no lag whatsoever.

Why not night ? Are you scared ?

nope may be it's because I play Left4Dead 2 a lot - actually playing games like darksector, Afterfall Insanity, SH2/3/4 and many other scary FPS games made me fearless.

completed the first chapter but the run through the woods was not enough to scare me and killing those ghost was pretty easy - just aim for the head - 2/4 pistol shots is enough to send them in heaven and it felt really great to listen to the In dreams by Roy Orbison - one of my all time favorite

2nd chapter is where the spooky environment begins, I am going paranoid, hearing footsteps everywhere.

completed this game(i get time to play in the night only). I would say not at all scary. Infact i would say f.e.a.r more scary than this when it was released.Its a psychological game rather than anything horrible.But was a decent game overall.

currently on 2nd episode but rather than those giant sized monster their minions are pretty easy to handle but guns with no pointer is bit tough to handle ( though the flash light is there ) and the battery power is really low but the realistic feeling is great but it's not scary IMO - just played it a little while ago

I felt jumpy when I played it, with footsteps and rumbling all over

Its not that scary but there's a great feeling of loneliness & depression all around. Overall, i loved the atmosphere. I couldn't play the game alone for more than an hour after midnight as it gave me some very bad feelings..

playing it on midnight now on ep. 3 - will climb the rail bridge up ahead and the flash bangs are a real life saver and probably most powerful weapon so far.

Completed Chapter 3.

But the game is kind of getting repetitive.
