Rule of Rose is a terrible game gameplay wise but has a truly fantastic plot and atmosphere. It was definitely worth experiencing.

Rides With Strangers has some kind of contest going. The person who manages to get their audience to raise money on the kick-starter through some kind of referral system gets to have appear in-game as a stranger.

It's a good system to get loads of people to mass fund but it means we are going to get a loving pewdiepie stranger.

On a positive note it means there is a slight chance for a cr1tikal stranger

For Rule of Rose I had a guide written by the developer of the game itself and I still had no idea what the hell was going on in the plot by the time I had finished it.

Started playing Kholat last night, I know I'm probably late to the party on it, but so far it's really nailing the sense of isolation. It's also one of the first times I've gotten "lost" in a game and had no idea how to get back to my tent.

At least its alleviated by the fact that most enemies are really easy to avoid, as long as you keep moving most enemies won't attack you and even move aside if you run past them. The few enemy arenas and boss fights aside from the final one are still janky messes though.

That final boss was really memorable, though.

I'm looking for games where you play as a monster hunter, preferably a vampire hunter. I know of Castlevania, Legacy of Kain, Blade, Buffy the Vampire, and The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing (even though you don't kill any vampires). Can anyone come up with some that are worth playing?

I know, right? I'm just watching it utterly bewildered thanking god that someone out there managed to go through this so I didn't have to. Plus I know those are "stock" beating noises but they feel extra nasty in that game for some reason.

It doesn't technically count, its Geralt's job description.

Vampire the Masquerade:Bloodlines obviously has plenty of vampire killing.

Vampire Hunter D is literally a vampire, not that you'd ever want to play that game.

Now there's a classic RPG favorite of mine Veil of Darkness where you're a downed pilot hunting down not-Dracula.

Nosferatu absolutely. It's one of my favorite games in general, and very explicitly features vampire hunting complete with holy water and crosses as mechanics. Also ghouls if you're into that.

Other good monster/vampire hunting games would be DarkWatch (Van Helsing in the Wild West, basically) and BloodBorne for capturing the perfect flavor for a gothic monster hunting game.

Not really; it's just sad that someone asks for a non-scare cam or hammy LP of the game and someone recommends two dudes endlessly spewing unfunny jokes over the game. It's a super heart felt and lovely game with a lot of tough issues that it touches upon and it deserves better.

If it's trash, maybe you could just watch something else instead of having unfunny youtube personalities burble over it? This thread does have a number of suggestions for good horror games.

Yeah, I was mostly bringing up that maybe someone like Cryaotic would be a better avenue since the person that was originally inquiring even mentioned that the Two Best Friends LP was a bit too much humor and not enough of the game.

ChogsEnhour posted:

Is there a good LP of Rule of Rose anywhere? I checked youtube and it appeared that the two best friends people (Maybe?) did one but it was just them guffawing over the whole thing. I know nothing about that game besides the fact it's pretty weird so I wanted something more akin to Egomaniac's Siren playthroughs.

God, they were good.

Also while the game play of Rule of Rose is not fun, it seems the entire point of an LP then is to enjoy the story cause the story is indeed memorable and worth experiencing for a unique horror outing.
