Pretty sure they mention that the biggest giveaway that you are linked is this annoying as gently caress tone you hear two times in the game. First time is in the car while they travel to the hospital. Second time is when Sebastian walks out of the hospital at the end.

Who killed all the people at the beginning in the hospital? I know when you're already plugged in, you see Ruvik doing it. Then at the end when you walk out, there's still all those corpses. So either he could act on the outside world while in the STEM already, or Moebius killed all those people on the way to getting access to the system, or when they left. Which seems oddly flashy for a secret organization, who may not know how long it takes to resolve the Ruvik problem inside STEM. Assuming that they just grabbed Sebastion when he showed up in a squad car and shoved him in there (again if Kidman was the plant, why not just blow Seb, Oda's, and the other cop's brains out since they're killing people anyway?). Also why not just shoot Leslie outside the machine ,when Kidman's goal was to kill him any way? Really the writing in the game is really bad and doesn't stand up to any scrutiny

Really the writing in the game is really bad and doesn't stand up to any scrutiny Also Kidman's goal wasn't to kill Leslie; she was merely supposed to remove him from STEM and from Ruvik's grasp. It only became later that she realized not-Umbrella wanted Leslie to use as a replacement for Ruvik in the new STEM and that she decided to kill him to gently caress over not-Umbrella and to stop Ruvik's escape route. I kinda feel like you didn't play the DLC cause this is all in that. discworld is all I read fucked around with this message at 22:53 on Jul 6, 2016 |

You missed out; the DLC was super good and somehow made the game even more tense. Also it had some amazing glow stick lighting and an odd bit where you play as the safe head dude but from a first person perspective, kinda like Condemned.

I just played through Playdead's Inside and while I wouldn't call it outright horror, it's got some creepy elements to it and a solid atmosphere if you're into that sorta thing. The tension is what sells it to me as a decent game for horror fans, I guess. The uh. The story is.... well, I'm not sure entirely what was supposed to be happening, but the game sure did take a turn at the end that I wasn't expecting.

So I heard of a game called Assemblance from some LP guy I watch - it looks like a more psychological, science-y PT Demo, and exclusive to the PS4. It looks quite good, and looks to be a step above the typical indie horror faire we've seen so much of lately. I can't find it on the browser-based PSN, so I dunno what's up with that.

"Asemblance." One S. Not two. A-semblance. Not assemblance, the being assembled, a semblance, a thing that reminds you of another thing.

A.o.D. posted:Except for the secret ending, which isn't as clever as the designers think it is, I do not get what the hell is going on in INSIDE at all. So, here's what I put together. Don't mouse over unless you finished the game, obviously. The world has undergone some severe catastrophe - huge parts of it are buried and flooded, it's in ruins and full of long-defunct machinery so broken we can't tell what purpose it served anymore, there's at least one huge underground chamber wracked with explosions from some other haywire machine far away. The leftovers of humanity are going to some extremely shady ends to keep their little corner of civilization alive, rounding people up for mind-control experiments and using the husks either as cheap labor or, in the case of the inverse-water chambers, using them as incubators for the parasitic worms that seem to be the basis of the mind control (the worms are everywhere in the floating corpses, and the scene with the pig doesn't make much sense otherwise). Those weird pods you see in the woods at the start of the game and later scattered all over the place in the factories and ruins seem to serve some purpose too. Maybe they're where the worms are implanted or the people are kept until pickup, who knows. Either way, they're transported en masse to the Facility, whose population seems occupied with studying the effects of the husks and the broken landscape (the geography in INSIDE makes zero sense, it's like the world forgot which direction was up, and at least one of the demonstration chambers in the Facility is a topographical map that seems to illustrate that), and stays well divorced from the horrible things they're doing to keep their research afloat. The centerpiece of their research is a mass of conjoined Flesh that's capable of controlling the husks remotely, from a great distance, though when we actually arrive at the facility it appears to be doing something that gives all the other researchers concern for serious panic. The boy is a survivor or escapee from one of the Facility's raids. He doesn't have a goal or a destination in mind - he's just running in a blind panic, solving puzzles and opening doors to put as much distance between himself and his captors as possible, hoping to find a part of the world that doesn't want to immediately kill him. He keeps going until he has an encounter with the Drowned Girl that he can't escape from, and gets pulled under. From this point onward, the boy is dead. He drowned. He has checked out of the game. Several things happen after this sequence. The boy's capable of staying underwater indefinitely, he can command the husks without the use of a helmet, and his reactions to the world around him are a great deal less frightened and anxious. That's all connected to the node the Drowned Girl stuck on him after he drowned, similar to the helmets themselves. After he dies, the boy is a remote body being piloted by the Flesh imprisoned inside (get it, you get it) the Facility, steering his body and all the others to its prison so it can escape. The boy can swim indefinitely because he's not breathing; he's not actually controlling the other husks, the Flesh is just making them work as a unit; he's not interested in the world around him anymore because he's not capable of it. After he frees the Flesh and is pulled inside (there you go again) the central mass, the Flesh justifiably wrecks up the place but is unwittingly guided by the Facility's staff into entering yet another lightless prison. But it breaks out, and leaves the Facility, and comes to rest on a sunny strip of sand outside. That's where the game ends, because the main character got what it wanted. The Flesh is broken and probably dying, but it's finally outside. Obviously the game's not really interested in telling a huge intricate plot, the actual events are more of a skeleton used to hold up themes of industrialization, escape and casual cruelty. I don't believe the secret ending has anything to do with the "canon" ending at all - it's just a cute aside by the game reminded us that we, the players, are still ultimately the ones in control, giving all the characters agency. It's a hell of a lot more coherent than Limbo, in any case. Oxxidation fucked around with this message at 16:13 on Jul 10, 2016 |

Oxxidation posted:So, here's what I put together. Don't mouse over unless you finished the game, obviously. Actually... I think that the people being rounded up are already infected by the worms. The worms cause a destruction of the will and personality, making them empty vessels that can only be controlled, and that the forest you start in is a containment are, as is evidenced by the fact that it's fenced off and monitored. Note that we don't ever see any sign of people being forcibly rounded up or converted into mindless drones. I think that the sinister facility is trying to study the contagion, and that advanced stages of it mutate humans to a semi-aquatic lifeform, with each 'floating corpse' room representing a more advanced stage of the worm infection. Furthermore, Holy poo poo, don't mouse over this last part. I mean it. The boy is not normal. The boy is being mind controlled by you, the player, the entire time. After you unplug the secret mind control machine, the boy's body goes limp, just like all of the drones you relinquish control of throughout the game when using a mind control device, and then the game ends. The boy is one of the drone humans, and has been the entire time. Seriously, it's hidden ending spoilers in that second one. Don't look at it.

Of course the boy's a remote body - he's remotely being controlled by the players, just like all video game characters. But for the events of the actual game, he's still alive and "normal" until the occurrence with the Drowned Girl. The secret ending is a little piece of metacommentary divorced from larger events.

Just rewatched Alien today, still a drat masterpiece to me. If Ridley can pull it off and make the new Alien half as good, I'm pretty hopeful that SEGA will tell CA they can make a new game. Please don't gently caress it up Scott. I mean, EA of all people gave Mirror's Edge a second chance in the end and the first game sold abysmally, while Isolation actually sold pretty drat well considering the circumstances.
