No because no one has pooped on any electronics and posted a picture yet. I also seem to remember a goat being killed in that thread. Truly one of our finest hours.

Every time I think I've seen the worst that Cry of Fear has to offer, it manages to top itself. Not sure if that can be considered an achievement or not.

So, part 15 you guys are just going to enable noclip and skip that maze right?

"Ah," Ratz had said, at last, "the artiste."
I laughed when they enabled low gravity to skip the bullshit jumping puzzle. It brought me back to the countless bad HL mods I played back in high school where I would inevitably get bored and do the very same :shobon:

But yeah, wow, as bad as Cry of Fear has been up to this point, the teleporting instant-kill worm-men maze is a new low (high?) in terrible game design.

They haven't even gotten to the part where the game decides all the previous bullshit wasn't enough and just piles on even more! Well more so than 'every new room' does that is, there's a extra bullshitty place coming up.

Well with the other games once they've had their fun they just turn it off or it handily crashes for them. With this game they actually have to complete the absolute bullshit sections. There's no escape from the terror!

drat you Valve and your well-coded game engines!

I think we all know that if Cry of Fear weren't running in the Half-Life engine it'd crash every 15 minutes or so, at least giving people the excuse to not continue playing it.

Especially if they get the supposed "joke" ending that apparently isn't even close to funny. That should be extra aggravating.

True, those videos are funnier. A part of me just wants to see them finish Cry of Fear because a small part of me wants to see the end of the game and I sure as hell don't want to play it myself.

It's boring garbage, I'd rather get mauled to death by swedish BDSM hangworms than exist in a world where people play games like FearCry. I stopped reading the last thread for a month when the novelty of googliata & buds wore off and only came back to witness the genuinely scary horror that is Dontrel.

If you're gonna play a game that's structured to feel like staying conscious during a jaunt, even Nintendo Nightmare 69 or whatever is a better option.

I enjoy Cry of Fear videos because the game is so boring that it is not worth commentary, and instead the LPer(s) are forced to bounce off each other with the game as reference material, thus providing a glimpse into the human psyche, much the same as if they were locked in a room full of found art. That's why I watched the Worms Armageddon board game video all the way through. Twice.

Yeah Cry of Fear is clearly A Bad Game, but some of the other games you've played seem like they were made by people who simply had the concept of a video game described to them and decided to make their own while covered in bees.

I won't argue that CoF is more polished and playable than all the other crud we feature, but I still refuse to believe it's "competent." There are far too many unnecessarily annoying, failed attempts at coherent gameplay. I guess it all boils down to semantics.

Apparently noclip kinda works; it just disables almost instantly after enabling it, which means you can inch your way through walls if you spam it. If you bind noclip to mousewheel and spin that motherfucker, I bet you could climb up a wall and then use your superior ups to jump your way to freedom.
bind mwheeldown noclip

You can also try this command:
cl_leveloverview 1

It's a HL2 command that gives you a pacman view, so there's a chance it will work on the HL1 engine. I just refuse to download this game to try it out.


That said, if you're not having fun with this bullshit game, you should just stop playing it. The other games you've been playing have been really funny, whereas this one is seeming to loose it's charm as it piles on more and more bullshit.
