Okay, shot in the dark here, but given the layout of the building I'd say the goal here is to use the set pieces made from the other animatronics to slow Golden Bonnie down and keep him from getting to your office until the end of the night, because the office only has one entrance and apparently lacks a door, so if he gets there at all you're just straight up hosed. Difficulty comes from the equipment all being faulty and occasionally shutting down, forcing you to reboot it while Golden Bonnie advances unhindered.

Maybe the goal this time is to keep Bonnie from escaping the building using yourself as bait. That'd be an interesting twist on things, since you'd have to deliberately put yourself in danger to keep from losing. I know it'll be the same 'one room, X cameras' setup, but I can dream.

I'm seriously impressed by Cawthon cranking out sequel after sequel at this pace and making it meaningfully different every time. He's refusing to let himself settle, and I really admire his workmanship. That aside, I just realized that if the building has exits, it also has entrances.

It's also prefect ground to even dig a little into the fanbase seeing as this is apparently a horror attraction trying to milk a nostalgic urban legend and a few murdered kids. Such a respectful and intelligent way to seek your thrills by making the robot as realistic to the legend as possible.  It'd be great if he actually tried to make a more direct narrative with this one, but he knows how big of a cash cow this game still is.

The new animatronic looks fantastic, but seriously all I could do was laugh at that trailer. I think it was the cheesy generic action music. Either way, excited to see if this wraps up the story, especially after two didn't really do much but flesh out things we already knew or could infer from the first one. By the way, does anyone know why Scratches got taken off Steam?

The Cheshire Cat posted:How does RE6 compare to RE4 and 5 if I liked both of them? I remember hearing a lot of bad things about it when it came out but it seems like that view has softened a lot since then and at least a few times people have said the mercenaries mode is quite good. I'm not expecting it to be SCARY, since Resident Evil hasn't been scary since... well ever really, but how does it fare as a horror-themed shooter a-la Dead Space and such? You have to understand that Resident Evil 6 is secretly a game entirely about wrestling monsters. Stagger enemies and use quick shot a lot because that lets you easily suplex zombies which saves on ammo, which there is surprisingly little of.

The original Resident Evil was a masterpiece of acting. Hell, all of the games up until 4 were pretty drat bad (great) in that department. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eT8zIhjY3RU&t=190s This scene blew my mind as a kid. EVERYONE'S GONNA DIE!

I really wish Michigan: Report From Hell was released in NA. It has the most unintentionally hilarious voice acting I've ever heard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4TKN7nC1W4 If you look at the IMDB profiles of the voice "actors," you'll see that they were in a lot of other games that, like Michigan: Report From Hell, are known for having terrible voice acting. It's kind of hilarious knowing that they're not just random people they picked off the street.

SolidSnakesBandana posted:Silent Hill 3 is great. The graphics are seriously incredible for the PS2. Though dont play it on a hard puzzle mode, because those puzzles are loving brutal. I think the first one requires knowledge of Shakespeare for instance. The option to be able to set separate combat and puzzle difficulties is a pretty great idea, though.

Freddy's is basically a slightly more detailed Night Trap/Double Switch and it's amazing it caught on like it did. Just goes to show you how good word of mouth can do wonders for a one-man, low budget game. I still think the guy should do a Myst style adventure game.

If you get stuck just look at a guide, I do this with all adventure games and I just don't care anymore. I think the payoff in the end and overall tension building is worth experiencing first hand and the climax has never made me feel more on edge and silly at the same time.

How hard can that be for someone that actually knows what they're doing? The hard part isn't making something. The hard part is iteration and developing a gut feel for what's going to play right and feel right. On the technical side, it's mostly still images with some animation over it, but that stuff needs to be tuned and retuned again and again. Iteration's really valuable for the actual game systems design (the rules of play) too. There are a million questions that need to be answered. He could have just stuck with what he already knew (How to balance a game around four animatronics), but decided to challenge himself and answer different ones (How do I handle a game with more than double the number of animatronics? How do I handle a game with just one?) It's a simple game, but simple isn't easy.

SolidSnakesBandana posted:The payoff at the end is probably the worst part. The game really didn't need an epilogue. Oh yeah that, no I totally agree. What I meant by "the end" was the encounter with the mask. The entire game is built around the suspense of this African mask that may or may not be an ancient god that demands blood sacrifice and you "defeat" it by basically waving snot on a stick in front of it. When you put all the pieces together you realize the mask and the mystery of the house are completely disconnected. The entire thing was your imagination. That setup and realization was a great feeling. The stupid CGI cutscene at the end farts all over it.

Nothing wrong with watching a LP if wanted I wound up cheating and using a guide, and this game goes past "rub tuna on telephone" logic into "what you just did changed one of four identical windows to have the top right corner slightly obscured and you need to notice that to make any further progress." From a gameplay perspective, that just pisses me off. There's nothing clever about it.

This is anecdotal but i had to look up a guide more playing monkey island than i did playing scratches, once you realize that you just need to be doing things to make time pass so you can progress to the next day its not really that unintuitive. edit: it did have a couple of bullshit puzzles but no more than every adventure game has, and it had more puzzles that made me go "thats clever" than most Clever Spambot fucked around with this message at 18:48 on Jan 28, 2015 |

I am terrible at adventure games, so when I played Scratches I had to check a guide for almost every puzzle. Then I think I hit a bug near the end and couldn't get any further, but up until then it was pretty good, I thought.

Monkey Island 2 was like a weird outlier where it felt more like a Sierra adventure game than a Lucasarts game. Monkey Island 1 and 3 had some great puzzles, but they were mostly-logical and you could probably figure them out if you thought about them long enough. At the very least they gave you very clear goals and then your job was just to figure out how to accomplish them. In Monkey Island 2, half the time you didn't even know what your goals were. You had vague outlines or some overarching thing to do, but the game basically just tossed you in the deep end and said "swim to shore" without giving you a map or compass.

Accordion Man posted:And that's how they made money off of strategy guides and helplines. It's funny how people complain now about games that seem designed to push DLC and IAP on you, as if games haven't ALWAYS been about milking as much money as possible from people. Arcade games were super hard so you had to keep spending quarters to buy more lives unless you were super good at it (by which point you'd probably already spent a ton of money on it anyway). Old adventure games were crafted with illogical and often totally nonsensical puzzles to push strategy guides and helplines (Sierra was so blatant as to put the phone number right there on the death popup in some of their games). Now it's just timers and premium currencies. I mean to be fair to adventure games, they weren't all specifically designed with that in mind, but the problem is that even if you didn't even HAVE a paid hotline for game hints, those crazy bullshit puzzles were in every other adventure game so you'd put them in yours just because that's what people expected from the genre.

The art was good and its a premise that could lead to a lot of creativity. By the looks of an lp I watched, none of that potential was used. I didn't fund it but I considered it. I was hoping the nightmare setting would be used for more bizarre and abstract creepiness or at least haunting visuals. Which isn't too much to ask because someone already made a game that does all of that years ago and in rpgmaker with yume nikki. This was boasting the same premise but with hi res graphics and some gameplay to fall back upon if the art failed to engage. Nothing did.
