Stick with the main mission and it's a decent game. If you go side questing you'll wind up walk simulating.
replyi don't agree. there is so much more to the game if you play all side cases. and a lot of additional playing hours.
replyThat is true, yes. However the side quests might feel tedious and repetitive for some.
If I rerun the game I might go and do all the side quests. I will say that the atmosphere is absolutely fantastic, I miss a game with similar environment.
replyInteresting. Think I might follow your advice as I've been trying to follow side quests and it made me put off the game but the main storyline was interesting indeed. Maybe I should get back to it and just go with the story. I hate he feeling of missing out when not doing side missions though :D
replyYes, you need at least to finish the main story. I did some of the side missions however they became too mundane and unrewarding.
You can always make an backup save just before the start of the last mission (before the last dive in the fire church) and then decide to finish all the side quest every now and then.
I'm off to Call of Cthulhu 2018.
Worth mentioning is that in my mind Call of Cthulhu®: Dark Corners of the Earth 2006 (despite it's flaws) still remains as the best Lovecraft game that I have tried.
Have a good one.
replyI just bought CoC:DC because you, a total stranger, said it was good.
replyYou are mostly welcome fellow. Tell me how you like it.
It makes sense if you have read some of Howard's work before you begin, I had not and it was still good.
Watch some of the Lovecraftian movies and listen to the radio theaters (example: Dark Adventure Radio Theatre from HPLHS). They help you become more immersed.
Have a good one.
replyHi, I've read all the stories HPL did. I played one of the role-playing desktop games when I was younger too. I love the mythos. I've not watched too many films though as I've not known which are good representations of his work. I will check out the Dark Adventure Radio Theatre, not heard of that and it sounds like something I'd enjoy. Thanks for the info.
replyHope you'll like it. Overall it feels a bit dated (I tried going back to it) but the atmosphere should still stand. You may want to install the widescreen fix to adapt the screen to modern standards. Check PCGamingWiki page they have the link there: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Call_of_Cthulhu:_Dark_Corners_of_the_Earth
replyThanks for the info. I'm going to try modding it through Vortex also.
replyOh I absolutely agree with Call of Cthulhu®: Dark Corners of the Earth 2006 being the best. I finished it when it came out :) From that point on I've started to read H.P. Lovecraft literature. I think DCotE still holds up well in terms of overall gameplay but some mechanics got old.
I'll always remember the escape from the hotel part and the feeling of being an escapee through rest of the game. Such nostalgia! :)
Have a good one too. Enjoy Call of Cthulhu 2018. It's also on my list to play, haven't had the chance to try it yet.
