Crabtree posted:Is there any hope for a World of Darkness type world - does not specifically need to be that but similar - for a kind of survival horror like game? I'm so sick of zombies at this point that I don't even want them gone, I want them to be the joke mob enemy that is barely worth killing for fun. Like so weak that "you'd have to put your hand in their mouth and force its jaws up and down for them to actually bite you" kind of worthless canon fodder. But there exists a multitude of abominations, familiar and undiscovered like vampires and the like, that you need to study, plan and prepare for as they're all out on the hunt tonight. I know that Bloodborne is probably the most recommended game in the history of this forum, but that sounds a lot like Bloodborne.

I played D2 start to finish, and I still have no loving clue what the hell was going on in that game aside from shooting rear end in a top hat plant hentai monsters. The ending boss was one of the weirdest things ever possibly. I want a horror game where you play as a giant spider, that would be pretty cool.

Something where you have to be careful with your supplies because monsters are different and you need to be absolutely sure what you're going to do is going to work or you could easily get hosed because you might not actually have much in the case of weapons. Anything from putting up what little rune or mystical knowledge you can gather into wards to hide out some place for a night/secure a passage or attempt to kill the creature near you for any kind of ingredients or possibly something to increase your abilities. Sort of like a witcher game where you aren't a monster hunting mutant right off the bat but maybe can work yourself up to becoming something dangerous enough to survive in the wilderness of madness and the few potential cities or towns you can come across.

Sounds like what a game based on Supernaturals early seasons would be like. Roll up to a place where weird shits happening then do some research, talk to some people, hustle pool so you can afford to buy supplies then go fight baddies. Just keep the unhealthy family relationships and awful angel/demon stuff out of it.

Grapplejack posted:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDC4A196F002F6357 I remember thinking D looked amazing when it came out. Now look at it. You're memory can have a habit of prettying old things up. I'm trying to think of another game that was a lot like D that freaked me out when I was young. All I can remember is something about a mansion and butterflies. There was a part where you're going down a hallway and if you turn around a living statue grabs you. And I recall falling into a pit full of symbols. It wasn't all horror but it was creepy. Edit Oh found it. It was Mansion of Hidden Souls. It's even uglier than D.

I'm watching the LP and I just got to the part in D where it's revealed that you have the blood of Dracula in you. What the fuuuuuck. So far the game is slow and goofy, does the poo poo hit the fan later on or is that reserved for D2?

She just shot her mud-man father and that's the end of the game, I feel bad for anyone that bought this game for full retail at the time of release. Good lord. Onto D2. Though he'll probably show the other ending. edit: He just talked about Kenji Eno and I looked him up, apparently he died in 2013 at 42. drat...

sometimes i wish i could erase my mind and just reexperience blindly the crazy in D, D2, and to some extent Enemy Zero. EZ is the lease nuts game but they all are incredible in their own way (especially any revelation about the main character. They are all the greatest.)

I love how Laura never speaks on screen so she's apparently retarded and everyone has to just talk forever because she can't make any comments I also love that in one of the D trilogy, Laura is a half-angel half-robot

My PC blew up shortly after though so I stopped following the progress and forget what it was called. I'll check and edit this post... http://frogwares.com/games/#The_Sinking_City There's all of one screenshot at the moment. Not much to go on.

Not much has happened other than the black girl getting facefucked by a plant but Laura's mute character thing is done so poorly it's incredible. Also the black dude that saves their lives trying to give a speech about who or what is real was so god drat bad. I'll continue when I get home from work.

Keep posting LPs and I'll keep watching them, I just got to the second boss of D2 where the giant dove pecks at the grandfather and causes him to explode. lol Yeah, this is another game where I feel bad for anyone that picked this up full price. I feel like I haven't even scratched the surface of this game's crazy have I?

But ultimately it was forgotten as the Dreamcast became the butt of every joke. I picked it up on recommendation from X-play or Gamespot TV or Tech-TV whatever the gently caress who gave it a good score and the writing was on the wall for the Dreamcast. It came out during a renaissance for survival horror games blending genres so it's like three straight years from 1998 to 2001 of Parasite Eve 1 and 2, Dino Crisis 1 and 2, Silent Hill 1 and 2, System Shock 2, Code Veronica, Illbleed, Fear Effect, and Fatal Frame. It's unfortunate Eno burned his Sony bridge because if D2 was rereleased on PS2 it would've probably ended up like Siren or Kuon as a cult classic all the hardcore collectors snatched up.

Crabtree posted:Isn't that game more unintentional horror camp comedy in the vein of Illbleed or Deadly Premonition? Yeah, that's why it belongs with D2 and Deep Fear. It's a decent 3D brawler masquerading as a survival horror but you're body slamming mutants to Christmas music while chugging hassy.

Overblood is fun. I don't think I'd say it does well as a horror game, but I think it is endearing for what it is. Overblood's pretty cool.

Overblood is even better if you've played Doctor Hauzer first, because it comes off feeling more like a successor to Hauzer than just a sci-fi Resident Evil.

Now that I think about it, why hasn't there been a horror game where you are the company producing and releasing zombie-esque viruses for battle data? Where you start off in your boring office, selecting an area to infect, walking into that town and everything's nice and safe and happy and then just releasing all hell on Racoon city? You can give a poo poo about survivors or not, the only thing that pays the bills though is that sweet battle data. Agent: the Company is trusting you in the important task of setting off the true test of The Product. Your goal is to chronicle and study its effects within the field and how useful it can be in its current state. That said, the one thing that guarantees your continued employment and worth is satisfactory data first and foremost. The Company expects absolute discretion in all things. It is imperative you do not reveal the existence of The Company to outside sources nor the true nature of The Product. Failure to do so will be grounds for termination to be carried out by other agents within the field. With that in mind, you will also be rewarded for removing any other asset that has become a liability. Loyalty can be very lucrative and show any promising agent to be an even bigger asset worthy of help and protection within the field. However, we are a company, agent. Not a charity. Money makes the world go around and money is both your tool and your ticket to escape, providing you have data that we would want. The Company encourages resourcefulness in the field and does not care for any liquid currency, sensitive information, interesting mutation samples or resources you may acquire during the operation. It may save you from dipping into your payment and escape means at the same time, so in the event of your success you enjoy a very vast sum of money for satisfactory service. The Company does not care for the survival of outsiders within the field. However, it would be a good opportunity to set up not only cheap means of protection, but also useful test subjects to go up against The Product in battle if you try to salvage any civilians. We stress all Agents remember Do not be discovered or let sensitive information about The Company fall into outside hands or these individuals would need to be terminated. In failing to do this, The Agents who allowed them to discover and report this will also be terminated. Good luck, Agent. Crabtree fucked around with this message at 05:21 on May 25, 2017 |

There is nothing unintentional about Deadly Premonition. They knew exactly what they were doing.  Combat was publisher meddling, 100%. It was a budget title to begin with, and splitting that $20 between adventure and combat stretched them thin.

On "game got changed" subject, Alan Wake's early media shows an open world Pacific Northwest and you can sort of piece together the maps that were to make up the 10x10km world left in the game.
