SWERY is a super cool dude and it's proof of how lame the world is that he's not better known and celebrated.

Austin Creed (aka Xavier Woods from New Day) runs a gaming channel on YT called UpUpDownDown which is worth it just to watch wrestlers trash talk each other while playing Street Fighter or getting scared by Terror Lab.

This is fantastic and I never even heard of it before, thanks for giving me plenty of new time killin material. Him and Kofi Kingston playing these goofy rear end horror games.

We Happy Few is apparently on steam early access, how long's it been out? Anyone been playing it?

Basically everyone I've spoken to says We Happy Few is one of the big crop of games that is a really interesting idea and could be super cool with more content and direction, but right now it's a pretty bland survival game without much to see or do, and where you're ravenously eating and drinking every 5 minutes and sleeping every 10.

Well, that sounds about par for the course with early access. I'll probably check back in with it somewhere down the line once it's been beefed up.

WHF is kind of an interesting case as far as early access games go. I kind of wonder how it would have been received if it was half the price, right now I think people are mostly getting blowback from it still being what, thirty bucks? Aside from the price it seems like the perfect candidate for Early Access, a functionally working game that just lacks content. I am just surprised how bad all the reviews are just because it's light on content, versus something like DayZ that was literally broken and had a ravenously defensive userbase

WHF also suffers from having an introduction that is drastically different from—and better than—the actual game. It's turning a lot of folks off.

Listening to podcasts and stuff, majority of the negativity is that nobody knew what the game was like until now. I remember the pre-alpha from a whole year back and my initial thought was "wait, this is a survival game???" You look at all the videos and their big showing at E3 and the Bioshock pedigree and really nothing could prepare you for what the game actually is. Just another example of poor communication. They knew what their audience was expecting but I can't recall any attempt to drive the discussion. If I hadn't seen a random youtube video with 900 views released this day last year I would've dropped $30 day 1 and been disappointed as well.

I think the "story" is a general goal as the game already has quests of a sort but they're very generic "there's something weird over here, beat up three guys". They can't really have a coherent plot because you have the option of perma-death. You can pick up documents and stuff to give you lore on the world and that's probably the extent of it. Looking at its contemporaries Don't Starve does a similar thing where the story is told indirectly and Invisible, Inc is a roguelike with a opening movie and a final level with everything in the center being flavor text. So expect a narrative, just not a linear one.

they've done a good job of expanding the world and stuff - things are generally a lot more interesting now, and they have a couple of safeguards against doing the Strictly Optimal thing. the few seams the game had (like magically generating wood after a blackout) have also largely been papered over, so things generally feel pretty good now it doesn't change the fact that it's just fighting entropy for 90% of the game, though. they have a couple of nifty challenge modes where you have to overcome specific gimmicks and those are fun and good, but game designers need to start taking to heart that i'm always going to have more fun with an actual sandbox than i am their sandbox game, because the sandbox is only constrained by time, space, and my imagination and their sandbox game is inevitably going to lack a lot of the details those things give me. so either give me a prompt and a goal to work toward or get off the stage for someone who will.

Because I don't know where else to mention in, anyone looking at SurvHive? Awful pun aside, it reminds me a lot of the old custom games in warcraft 3 and starcraft Parasite. So far no one seems to have any outstanding issues with it. (Yes, it's the sin of early access I know, but still) Paranoia, betrayal, and murder sound like good times to me.

SurHive definitely looks like a Thing game. I'm always down for that, especially after Outpost 13 turned out to be less good than I hoped.

Because I'm dumb with money, I went ahead and jumped in. It is early access, as the game doesn't really explain anything. Essentially it is the Thing, with equal amounts of tentacle rape. The aliens can burst a tentacle It doesn't have the greatest balance yet, but I did have a few fun moments, one that comes to mind is a tense moment outside the armory where 3 of us were staring each other down with MGs. One of them takes a step back and says something like 'well the alien has to be one of you, so I'm gone'. Since pubs aren't intelligent enough for basic subterfuge, I turned and blasted the other guy. Sure enough, he was an alien. The other human stuck with me from there on till the rest of the server had gone alien and bumrushed us.

So, a couple months ago Alone in the Dark: Illumination got a patch (which I sure didn't expect) and I finally went around to checking it out. And you know what? The game actually feels much better. There were a bunch of little changes in the patch that are really nice, like actual damage indicators, and they look to have basically reworked the classes a bunch (I tried out the Hunter and the Witch). Oh, and those text intros? Now they have some super hammy voice overs that I'm not sure are good but that I'm loving. There's also some narration in the levels as well. I don't feel like I can call it a good game now, but it's way better than before, that's for sure, even if I still wouldn't choose it over Left 4 Dead.

DrSnakeLaser posted:Looks like there's a DLC coming for Layers of Fear, hope its a little less scripted than the base game. It isn't, really; it's kinda more of the same, in that you walk around the house and find things to happen, and eventually walk to the end. If you liked the main game, I'd still recommend it though, as it does expand a little on the events of the first game. I generally liked Layers of Fear, but I can see why a lot of people don't; it was touted by pretty much everybody based on how good and distinctive it was and how creepy its demos were, but when the full game came about, although it did pretty well critically (better than any Unity game I've heard of), it still got a lot of stick for being a haunted house so it was played once and left alone. Which is a bad thing, because not only are there are a lot of documents and other things to find (that actually effect the ending, of which there are three), but much like Gone Home, the real horror of the story is found only when you actually read things and try to piece the plot together, which only a few people (none of which are the usual Youtube suspects, apparently) are willing to do with a game. In short, it's a walking simulator a la The Chinese Room's output, and as a horror game, it therefore fails, but as a character study into a deeply hosed-up individual and the effect he had on those closest to him, it's pretty great actually. I liked it, anyway.

If anyone pulled the trigger on We Happy Few, they just released a pretty decent patch that tunes up the survival mechanics to be less annoying, adds notes on the compass, and makes the "main quest" a bit more fleshed out, so it might be worth another shot. I like it so far.

I'm looking for first person horror games or horror themed games that actually have combat mechanics. I mean even into the more "atmospheric" realm of things just as long as it's well made. Things like condemned, FEAR, metro, alien isolation..

But bear in mind many others hate it and it doesn't run that well. It's perfectly serviceable but it's an unstable 30-60fps. I also found it more of a "thriller" than horror.

I was going to make an addition saying Metro 2033's atmosphere has this sort of kitschy feel that breaks the immersion for me. It feels too much like stalker. I didn't really like its atmosphere although the gameplay is really fun. And yes I play with russian VO. The sequel had better production values so I think I'm going to maybe skip over to it. What I remember on the PS3 was great. Dead Space or F.E.A.R. are both examples of great action games with really good pacing and atmosphere that create good immersion. And also degrade in quality with the sequels... I wish they'd hurry with that Alien Isolation sequel if there is one... And give us a drat way to kill xenomorphs. For Now I'm probably going to just settle for F.E.A.R. 2. Gonna keep trying Outlast as well because I feel like I'm either not getting it or I just don't like games where you can't fight back. Cryostasis looks great though, just does seem hard to find. NeoSeeker fucked around with this message at 22:05 on Aug 14, 2016 |

FEAR 2 isn't that good. FEAR 3 is a good game but it makes an action leap like Dead Space 3 does. I enjoyed The Darkness 2 immensely but it's also an action shooter with some spooky moments.
