My point is that even in a survival horror game there should be a point A. and a point B. and a somewhat logical way to get from one to the other... doing random stuff that triggers other ramdom stuff is just frustrating because is forces you to randomly try all options without logic until you get lucky... thats what the OP experienced and what scared me away from the game when I first played it...

Hmm...did you try going into the tower? Great vantage point there. Plus a shotgun if I remember correctly.

Bra, I experienced the same thing. But doesn't all games require you to explore your surroundings?
I mean that's what you was suppose to do. But I do understand your post.

I mean all of a sudden he sees this crowd of zombies in the area he walks in after the cutscene and BAM, they all come after him.

Just shoot them f*ckers!!!

Follow the red dot on your map.........

^ Seconded. If zombies are coming at you, I don't see how there is any way other than just shooting them all dead.

^^ Its not a shooter... you are supposed to survive and walking into a crowd of zombies with very limited ammo is not a very good survival strategy... this game gives you very mixed signals on what you are supposed to do... and thats the polite version...

You're a guy that just wandered into town without much idea of what's going on, save that he has to find a kidnapped girl that's somewhere around here.  All of a sudden, the gates lock and the entire freakin' village attacks you.  Are you thinking 'ok, I just need to kill 20 of them and a bell will ring.'?

No!

You're thinking "WHAT THE F*CK IS GOING ON, WHAT ARE THESE FREAKS, WHAT CAN I DO WHEN WILL IT END--"(*pitchfork to the face)

^^ Bingo

There is a big difference between the game sucking and the player sucking at the game. This is clear case of the player sucking at the game.

I thought it was kinda easy, after you get used to controls.
