For the Month of October, the Wizards present Spooky Month! Each day will be a new video of two spooky games!

Genocyber, is your name a reference to the anime? I love the art style of slain and the way you can interact with enemy projectiles. I would still be very bad at it though.

(that's a picture of me saying yeah) quote:I love the art style of slain and the way you can interact with enemy projectiles. I would still be very bad at it though. Oh definitely. Slain has enough issues and lack of complexity that I'd never rate it more than a 6/10 (if you want a really fun to play Castlevania inspired game check out Odallus, it's real loving neato) but it's pixel art is undoubtedly some of the best I've seen in recent years.

This one's super short as well, but I've been wanting to do it for a while so have a subtitled LP. Eversion is a 2D platformer made in 2008 by Zaratustra Productions. It incorporated some Lovcraftian-ish horror themes into its atmosphere by allowing you to "evert" between several different realities ranging from bright and colorful, to horrifying and imposing. There is a version available for free on the company's website or a version on Steam for 4.99. The Steam version adds HD graphics, achievements, and some extra collectables linked to achievements. We'll be playing the free version. Edited for archiving. PSWII60 fucked around with this message at 07:42 on Oct 24, 2016 |

We're at BroopGamers on Twitch, and I just try not to link too often to avoid looking like self-promotion or anything. GamesAreSupernice posted:It never occurred to me to consider Alan Wake a full-on horror game, so much as an all-around adventure title. I feel like people who just wanted to be scared might be a bit disappointed. Yeah, Wikipedia calls it "psychological thriller action-adventure," which is more true than it isn't I guess (it sets up a lot of interesting ideas and then decides to have you shoot them instead ). The friend that lent it to Ben said it was "kind of a horror game," which, y'know, is also kind of true. Blind Sally posted:Alan Wake is Max Payne 2.5 Tindalos posted:Alan never wanted to write horror, that was his editor/the dark presence's doing. Yup, pretty much sums it up. I didn't even realize Remedy were the Max Payne guys until one of the earlier streams, and it was all, "Yeah, that explains a lot." Speaking of explaining things, how about the game basically unwind everything in one big exposition sequence? Alan Wake - Episode 5: The Clicker Part 3/3 Every story with fantastical elements (and that's probably most of them) has what's called a disbelief / immersion threshold, at which point the excesses of the stuff you're reading destroy your ability to take what you're reading as a plausible reality, and instead just entertainment. This chapter hit that for me, which is why I've been ragging on it. It's still not a bad game, so far as I can tell; but they really fumbled setting up the opposing force to the Dark Presence (in my opinion anyway). Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen Part 05 - Getting Ahead Oh, c'mon, how could I not call it that? The hydra fight (which you clearly have absolutely no chance to win and have to drive it off instead) is the 3rd and last such encounter. Capcom definitely threw it in after Grigori and the cyclops to give you a taste of just what kind of stuff you can do in this game, but we won't see the hydra again until the postgame. I also learned only after the stream that you can let the fight play out, and if you do the hydra eats every single redshirt until you try to flee, at which point Mercedes will toss you a red barrel, the hydra goes passive, and hitting it immediately destroys the head. The game won't let you leave without looking cool!

It's weird hearing commercial version with the changed music (since some of the previous stuff was ripped straight from Cocoron). I don't know if this is what you were going for but subtitled VLP at 480p echoes older LP stuff which I also enjoyed.

It's not our usual wheelhouse, but for Spooktober tonight, we'll be streaming Dead Rising 2 here in about half an hour. Assuming it still works, of course; this was the game we tried Tuesday too. Anyway, how about another double dose of Dark Presence & Dark Arisen? Alan Wake - Episode 6: Departure Part 1/3 I don't remember how I felt at the time, but looking back I do like how this episode opens (with Alan hung over and watching himself on TV), setting up what would happen later on in present time. The only bad thing is that we had some graphical problems and they persisted such that we couldn't really edit around them. :/ Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen Part 06 - Not Bitter About It The title is a twofer this time, since Mercedes whines when you show up to continue the escort quest, and we also visit Bitterblack Isle but don't stay long. I explore more at night in this stream than you probably normally would playing the game, and this update has a few good examples why, heh.

Back! Sorry about missing last week, I was sick on editing day and too busy to catch up. Alan Wake - Episode 6: Departure 2/3 The Dark Presence continues to throw just about everything it can at Alan, but I do think they missed out on having it throw a trailer at us, what with being a tornado and all. This one is pretty gameplay-heavy, but it sets the stage for next video and the finale (not counting DLC, of course) well enough. Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen Part 07 - Escort Mission I was pretty worried about this part, since you fight a lot of enemies in waves during this quest, and things are hitting really hard on... well, Hard. We handle it pretty well and make it to Gran Soren, which opens up most of the rest of the game (you can basically think of this as the end of the tutorial). Apparently the overworld was originally a lot more restricted, since guards still make reference to "the roads being open to us" after the next story mission, but nothing keeps you from going just about anywhere, you just can't change vocations (without going to BBI, anyway) and miss out on some useful merchants.
