Playing RE7 with the circular saw completely unbalances the game but is also fun as hell. On Madhouse, I just shrugged whenever Jack respawned and ground his face off again. It works effortlessly for the four-legged Molded, who I freaking hate. It's also good for "Back Off Mrs B!" trophy if you just want to knock that one out.

I just started RE7 yesterday totally blind and so far I lost my loving hand to Mia and her chainsaw and then was murdered when she came into the attic. I wasn't even mad when I got my first "You Have Died" screen. It's a personal badge of honor with this series, although I feel like my attempt to get away by shooting was a terrible idea. #TeamNotDead rides again I suppose.

I'm not gonna play RE7, but I've watched a couple of LPs of it and I have to ask: Does the terrible FOV actually do anything for the game? It just seems so unnecessarily tiny. I can sort of see how it's functional on a TV, but I can't imagine playing a game in 65(or however much it is) FOV on a PC without getting a headache or something.

The LPs were probably of the console versions. The FOV can go up to 90 in the PC version. Though it's still too narrow for 21:9 monitors.

Yeah the ones I watched were on PS4, though one was in VR. I thought I read something about the PC fov being limited too, but if it goes to 90 that's alright then.

So in the RE7 Bedroom DLC there's a random cutscene where Jack and Marguerite argue over Clancy being in the house, causing her to get so upset she runs in and stabs you, causing Jack to come after her and apologize and say he loves her. I just can't with this game.

al-azad posted:As a proof of concept I would love seeing it expanded as a Gone Home esque thing where you're a kid home alone during a storm playing this game no one heard of that you bought off Yahoo Auction or something. Occasionally you have to get off the computer to check something out because your house is interacting with the game. I always thought a fun horror/surrealism game in that line could revolve around a bunch of kids getting alternate copies of some popular/old game, and being able to follow a story line that while not necessarily affecting the real world, would at least feel like some shared conspiracy with them owning the only copies. Essentially every playground lie scenario but taken to a more logical extreme.

I always wanted to see a horror game about escapism itself where the more you play the game, the less real and hostile everything outside of it feels. maybe something like Silent Hill the Room where every time you step out of the game within the game, the house and locations around it become more oppressive. You start to get followed and maybe even attacked by people who look less human and more like shapeless clumps of data. Maybe even the room you play in becomes hellish except for the screen playing "the game".

discworld is all I read posted:It looks like the game got a steam page: http://store.steampowered.com/app/558420/ I think they improved the text parsing, it seems to be a bit more forgiving about what you type in? It's a fun little game, and the other stories are interesting as well, it's a good experiment of the genre.

ovaries posted:I've never played it myself but that reminds me of the concept of Nanashi no Game. Kinda along those lines. I imagined it could work as a partly online deal, where in the game you're in text-talk by computer or phone with the only other kids who have the game, and they're your only source of advancing and vice-versa. Likely unique copies of an older game, or an entirely new one nobody else knows about. I'd like to explore more of that feeling you get from games when creepy poo poo happens without it having to shovel in ghosts or threatening blood words. More the sensation of some improbability ending you up somewhere you weren't meant to be, and that resultant feeling of wanting to see more of something hidden and forbidden, and being unnerved by what could go wrong. Like, to better describe the idea for the premise, what if the secret worlds in Metroid were more factual? Imagine playing a game only to suddenly stumble into another ten game's worth of lost and sealed off content, a messy unknown mass of missing plot lines, events, etc. Without relying on something like 'spoopy spirits in the game' or attacking the player or whatever.

I mean, it doesn't immediately present itself as a horror game, and I won't spoil it, but it definitely is what you described and it is really loving cool. House Abandon also does the same sort of thing, to a certain extent? But it's pretty limited. I'm pretty sure I've seen it done elsewhere at least once before, but I can't remember where.

discworld is all I read posted:Also through the LP, the sequel managed to get an English patch applied as well. Was pretty happy to have gotten that facilitated in some small way. Both were pretty interesting games and honestly stand out horror titles for the DS, which didn't have much in the way of good horror sadly. Shame that the actual cell phone game never got translated. Far as I know, there's no legal way of getting a copy of the game now. Square Enix pulled it from all the stores. RadicalR fucked around with this message at 06:11 on Mar 3, 2017 |

It's nice though to think of this extremely meta game and how a portion of it's spooky history forever lost, or that there's a mystery phone out there that still has the game on it and it's waiting to spread it's evil around.

discworld is all I read posted:Yeah, honestly the thought process behind Nanashi not getting out (or at least how it did in some limited way) was super weird. Like there were stories going around that the game never got a larger release due to focus groups being confused by the first person perspective and the fact that it wasn't a shooter or some type of action title.

Any general gameplay tips for Lakeview Cabin Collection? I love the concept but sometimes feel like I have no loving clue what's going on or how to slow down the killer, much less stop them. Or if I'm supposed to stop them.

Lakeview 3? The first episode? Think like the Scooby Doo crew and set traps. Also a full speed motorcycle can be jumped off of to make it a deadly projectile. You should be focusing on the objects in the world and how they can be weaponized. You should only attack the killer head on as a last resort.

Anyone tried Stories Untold yet? I appreciated The House Abandon for playing with the text adventure format but found it kind of simplistic and one-note. Do the other stories do anything different or interesting to make the package worth ten bucks?

The first two episodes are great, the second two.....not so much. I think the game would've been much better if the episodes were stand-alone. The plot twist was really lame, and retroactively made the first two episodes worse.

So I just gave Stories Untold a spin, and while the concept is cool and the stories seem fairly interesting, the text parser is god-awful. I gave up after a while because it didn't recognize any common text parser commands and gives you almost no indication of what the hell you're trying to do. If anyone is on the fence about this one, I'd say skip it or find an LP once they start showing up. It's pretty painful to play. Also the text speed in A House Abandoned is painfully slow. I was really hoping this one would be much better than it is, but it feels like they didn't do any user testing for the game.

Pair that with the hackneyed Stranger Things ripoff aesthetic and I find it hard to get excited about this game. The glowing reviews just make me think there's a desperate need for atmospheric video games that aren't walking simulators.

Most of the people playing Untold Stories have never played a text adventure, and just look at this as a retro cool thing. It's like the single button apple mouse. It makes no sense to those used to how the systems have worked before, but to newcomers it's more intuitive.
