Well, I started this last night but didn't make much progress. Just wasn't really feeling it yesterday. The fog is clearly used as a way to hide the draw distance of the game, but, honestly, I don't have a problem with it. My "problem" with the game is the same I had with our other survival horror venture at the beginning of the year, Resident Evil: the tank controls just don't hold up well today, and it makes for a frustrating experience. I actually found the shooting was a lot easier than I anticipated thanks to auto-aiming, so that was a nice surprise. The story hasn't really picked up quite yet as I'm only about 30 minutes in, but the town is genuinely creepy so it's a nice start. Of course, I'm following a guide because that's how I enjoy playing through these older, puzzle-based games. I'm really more in it for the story, and to see how the gameplay holds up (which isn't great so far).

Anyone else start this yet? If so, what's your first impressions?
