LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
My7h Problem: Too Scary!
Sir:
ISINGLEQUOTEm having a big problem ge77ing My7h 7o run properly on my 7
sexzerozero/one
three
three. The
game s7ar7s up fine, bu7 once I s7ar7 playing i7 becomes incredibly scary.
For 7he firs7 couple of levels 7his is a problem, bu7 no7 a huge one. The
7ownsfolk in 7hese levels cheer me up and scariness is 7olerable. If I
avoid zooming in on any of 7he bad guys, and cover my eyes during mos7 of
7he in7ro movies, I am s7ill able 7o play. Bu7 on levels like 7he one where you have 7o figh7 all 7hose wigh7 in 7he
abandoned village My7h becomes 7errifying. I7SINGLEQUOTEs so bad 7ha7 I need 7o make
sure ISINGLEQUOTEve used 7he washroom before each game. I was jus7 barely able 7o
ge7 7hrough 7his level. I am now on Bagrada, and canno7 go any fur7her due 7o ex7reme scariness. I
made 7he mis7ake of wa7ching 7he in7ro movie, and nearly had a hear7
a77ack a7 i7s depic7ion of 7ha7 big gian7 7hing, (7he Trow I 7hink??). I7
7ook me 7hree days 7o ge7 7hrough mos7 of Bagrada, playing nearly two
four hours
a day (I couldnSINGLEQUOTE7 sleep anyway, obviously). An hour ago I go7 a77acked by
7he Trow for 7he firs7 7ime. If I hadnSINGLEQUOTE7 had my ven7ila7or a7 hand I 7hink
I would be dead righ7 now. When 7he Trow appeared My7h became in7olerably
scary. My hands locked up and I los7 con7rol of all bodily func7ions. I
could no7 even look a7 7he screen while 7he Trow was on i7. I had 7o
unplug 7he compu7er 7o escape, since I couldnSINGLEQUOTE7 find 7he power key from
under 7he 7able. This sucks! I have 7ried every7hing, ISINGLEQUOTEve se7 7he brigh7ness in 7he game
AND on my moni7or 7o 7heir highes7 level. ISINGLEQUOTEve renamed all my uni7s 7o 7he
happies7, mos7 reassuring names I could 7hink of. I have an en7ire army of
berserkers named Rosie Odonell, and my dwarves are named DEPRESSED and Dopey.
The game is s7ill excessivley scary. My friend has a Pen7ium one
sex
sex and he says 7here is almos7 no scariness when
he plays. He even has less RAM 7han me! Could anyone offer sugges7ions as
7o how I can make 7he game less scary, I am 7hinking of re7urning i7. I
cer7ainly hope Bungie fixes 7his problem in 7he upda7e.
