Accordion Man posted:Yeah, RoR is getting more and more rare. Like I payed around $60 on Amazon for a copy complete with original box and manual several years ago but now it tends to run triple that amount. I don't why Sony just doesn't put it on PSN because they actually own the rights to the game. They probably don't know it exists

Yardbomb posted:The really weird and pretty janky horror game Escape from Bug Island is another I remember that did a neat idea like this too. Not quite. Bug Island uses it as a story piece that's explained, Escape from Dead Island doesn't. The ending happens, Cliff sends off the crate, it floats through the sea throughout the credit sequence. 6 months later, the crate floats past the yacht that Cliff and friends started on...and are on again, replaying the intro conversation, leading directly into New Game +. I should add this could all be a hallucination because it makes about as much sense with that explanation too.

I liked how Max Payne 2 let you save Max's love interest / female counterpart, Mona, if you beat it on the hardest setting, which was really, really hard. Shame that didn't count for Max Payne 3. al-azad posted:This reminds me of Breakdown. Everyone with an Xbox should play Breakdown. I don't know if it's backwards compatible with the 360 but I hope it is.

Sakurazuka posted:a Clock Tower spin off that's much better than the awful CT3. alysssssssssssssssssssa exploding mummy posted:The PS3 Siren is basically a remake of the first Forbidden Siren, but it isn't a compilation and it deviates quite a bit from the original in casting. (Most of the cast is no longer Japanese and is replaced by Americans) It's also more Western horror themed, so it's a bit more action packed then the original. I did not know this! I enjoyed it though, it was very nervewracking the first playthrough, especially the small-town/hospital areas the ending was super dumb though

I really loved the PS3 Siren, I thought it was a really cool game and the approach of constantly switching between characters/narratives was great. It was a really beautiful game too, some really unsettling and weird moments. The monster design is great.

The first two Siren games had this weird non-linear structure which I liked and was sadly missing from Blood Curse. Each scenario had like an alternate way of solving it that would effect the timeline and change later ones and you could kind of jump backwards and forwards at will.

I made it out with everyone except Ashley, which was my own stupid fault for not following my own logic. Fun fact: Mike and Sam can't die until the very last scene. Despite all the danger everyone gets into, I think Matt is the only character who can die pre-wendigo reveal. You can actually go the whole game with nobody dying except for one stupid jock who falls off a cliff because of some deer.

They generally keep the same plot beats though, even if they condense some characters. For example, Melissa is basically 3 characters condensed into 1.

I'm still partway through Forbidden Siren 2 but it's a mixture between disturbing and frustrating. I think every mission I had available I couldn't complete ( I remember a security guard and a school girl in a prison with no lights and an enemy tracking you) so I shelved it. I did see a video with some of the later monsters and christ are they horrible  I really suck at stealth games so that's probably making a difficult game even worse.

I don't remember any missions in Siren 2 being that bad (although there's one amusing one where you have to take out a sniper moribito using the sniper character by sneaking into the building he's on and attacking him up close from behind  ), but man if you think those are bad look at some vids (or play) the first one, it gives you next to no guidance at all.

Friends and I had a great time playing the first Dead Island, but it is not a horror game, it's a fun exploration action game with RPG elements. I really don't know what people were expecting, but I got what I was expecting and it was fun times with glowing, flaming machetes and electric sledgehammers.
