Grizzled Patriarch posted:So Silent Hill 4 isn't on the PSN store, is it? Wikipedia claimed it was and I got all excited, but it looks like it's not there. If you have a backward compatible PS3, just hit up amazon. I think I got my copy for like...$10 or so? Also, everything everyone has said about that game is true. It's so far the most frustrating experience I've had playing through the franchise, especially because there are moments and elements that are actually good, and then you meet the monster that burps or the loving wheelchair enemy. Seriously, there have been moments where I was playing SH4 that I've legit enjoyed myself, and others where I'd rather be doing anything but playing it, and would quit if I hadn't committed myself to doing the franchise for a column. Also, if you do play it, have a guide at hand because you're not going to want to deal with any of SH4's bullshit. I thought my relationship with SH3 was contentious, but that game is positively brilliant compared to the nightmare that has been SH4. Also, I may throw myself through a window if I have to encounter another loving subway level in either Origins, Homecoming or Downpour.

Decapitations, torture scenes, baby slugs hatching out of someone's head, it's all good. Everything happens in real time and you can miss stuff for added replay value. Just don't trip and drop your camera like the dumbass you always are. I got an email from the Among the Sleep creators that they'll be releasing some free DLC next week, it's supposed to be Wednesday.

HellCopter posted:Soooooo Dead Rising? Gotta get those Erotic bonus points. You can't miss the sex scenes, it means the killer is right around the corner. Surprise twist ending: the killer is you, you staged your friends' doom and are recording a snuff film. e: One of my favorite plot points in Vampire Bloodlines was the company selling real snuff films that they've been stealing from those flesh crafting vampires and you find their murder room. I'd love a Truman Show-esque horror game. Kind of like a top-down strategy game like Ghost Master but you're those guys in Cabin of the Woods that orchestrate everything. al-azad fucked around with this message at 21:59 on Nov 1, 2014 |

Haha wow this is sub-God Mode levels of bad. Holy crap http://store.steampowered.com/app/275060/?snr=1_7_15__13 And speaking of bad, I just finished Knock-Knock and eeehhhhh. Even after I learned the rules of the game it was still kinda tedious as hell and by the end I just wanted it to be over. I liked what they were going for and the graphics and sound were great but it's just not a very fun game.

I love how the developer is named "Pure FPS" and their first game is a third-person shooter.

Someone on twitter mentioned that their previous game was so bad they actually remade the company to get away from it. Anyway speaking of Alone in the Dark, I bought the 2008 game during the steam sale and so far I like it. I haven't gotten that far into it, just got out of the tunnels at the start of the park and everything is really wonky so I understand why people don't like it but honestly it has some nice ideas.

Reminds me of how Saber Interactive created Oldschool Games to pump out the reskinned shitfests that were God Mode and RIPD. They were both just Inversion with a co-op arena focus and somehow even worse. e: wow i brought up God Mode twice in two posts

They claim to polygon that they've learned form their mistakes and rid themselves of the ones responsible for Rekoil, how much of that is true remains to be seen.

Can anyone recommend me good, scary games on Steam that have controller compatibility? So far the only ones I've found are Outlast, Alien, and Amnesia:pigs.

Use the advanced search to look for the Horror and Full Controller Support tags. There's more than a few, quality not guaranteed  http://store.steampowered.com/search/?snr=1_4_4__12&term=horror#sort_by=_ASC&tags=1667&category2=28&page=1e: there might be more that aren't FULL controller support

Was there not an AitD game in a style similar to REmake? So basically 2D backgrounds they spend a lot of time on to prettify, creating impressive effects for the flashlight and shadows. I never picked it up. Was it any good?

That was The New Nightmare. I think it's supposed to be a reboot of the franchise and I remember it receiving middling reviews when it was new http://store.steampowered.com/app/259190/

Thing is, original Alone in the Dark is a pretty bad game, but was still revolutionary at the time. I mean, the controls are awful, you move like a slug, goals and mechanics are pretty obtuse, and there are a lot of insta-kill moments. There's platforming, a gently caress-you moment if you don't have a particular object (if I remember right), and the final boss is a tree.

A new nightmare was classic survival horror for that era (around the time RE 3 came out), so if that's your thing I would definitely get it.

It falls squarely into that middling survival horror game category that plagued the late 90s/early 2000s, e.g. Galerians, Countdown Vampires.

Looks like work on Five Nights at Freddy's 2 is going well, a demo should be out shortly. In the meantime, some Youtubers were given early access to it, here's HarshlyCritical's playthrough of the first and second night: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RS7dogf0GTo. It seems a bit more frantic than before, and it doesn't seem clear when it is safe to remove the mask sometimes.

Apparently Five Nights at Freddys is A Thing for elementary school kids too. I work at a day care and theres a couple kids that keep asking to watch Five Nights at Freddys Markiplier videos on my phone. It's so weird.

Keep the music box playing, keep the flashlight on Foxy, keep track of 5 animatronics, keep the mask up but not for too long, and so forth. I almost wonder if the franticness will reduce the scariness. Len posted:Apparently Five Nights at Freddys is A Thing for elementary school kids too.

One of the house's in the neighborhood had a Slenderman mannequin out front all of October. Truly, we are the real monsters.

Cause in his second night 2 video she just sort of hangs out in the security room like a ceiling buddy until Foxy 1.0 finally came and killed him. I wonder if HC might have accidentally bugged out the "flashing lights confuses animatronics" mechanic with his constant frantic checking and put Freddie 2.0 and Foxy 2.0 in an indefinite holding pattern. e: Okay at first I wasn't as freaked out by this game as I was the original but that nightmare sequence was genuinely creepy.

I can deal with jumpscares but the little poo poo disables all the lights for the rest of the night once he's in with you and can't in any way be made to leave, which is essentially deadly from night 2 onwards as Foxy 1.0 is unstoppable without the flashlight.

If you can tolerate his gurning, Markiplier's doing a run (uploaded it just before the full game was out I think). I love this guy because he's so enthusiastic.
