John Wolf is on the steps of a kindergarten. The sounds are the ghosts of children, but happy ghosts. I could swear there's a line from Wolf about it, but I didn't notice it when I was in the area.

I think this noise is coming from the kindergarten. That would be the children. And imo there is nothing particularly happy about it, thats just the sound zombie children make.

Most of the enemy designs are genuinely unpleasant to look at, and even more unpleasant to listen to, jesus christ do I hate fighting the filth, or familiars, or zombies, or just generally hanging around areas with them because every minute I spend listening to those weird screeches is another minute closer to my ear holes finally getting sent to hell. It sounds like a baby to me, and you're right outside the kindergarten so put those together and shiver.

I like the Black House because it is 1. the one (1) thing on the island that isn't actively trying to murder people and 2. like the one thing on the island that actually has a legitimate, personal grudge against the people of Kingsmouth.

It tries to murder you, but that's after you're poking around in its guts. It even (harmlessly) throws you back if you try to go in the front door, that's downright restrained compared to literally anything else in the game.  When they talk about stupid teens breaking into it overnight or whatever it's in the context of "yeah they couldn't last the entire night inside it", not "they got fukken murdered", too. You could attribute that to being before Solomon Island was 100% hosed (instead of like a background noise level of 40% or so) but that didn't stop the Wendigos or w/e from eating kids. dmboogie fucked around with this message at 21:31 on Jul 17, 2017 |

When I played TSW originally, I enjoyed the theory crafting aspect of it, and I liked the story well enough but wasn't super into it. When I got to the black house however that was the turning point for me that really just made me realize how much effort they put into the atmosphere of the game and started to enjoy the game exponentially more when I started paying attention to the smaller details, like the filthy enemies rambling like people mentioned. The game definitely has a slew of problems, but one thing that I think I can confidently say TSW/SWL does better than any other MMO I have played (and places relatively high for video games overall) is the amount of detail they put in to really sell their setting and nail the atmosphere they were aiming for. Someone who posted above me (I'm on mobile and also lazy  ) described it perfectly. Not scary, but unnerving. When the door closes on you in the black house I legitimately panicked (in TSW anyway) because I was under geared and actually felt like I was fighting for my life to get out of that room. I also really liked the Freeborn missions, the graphics in this game aren't the best but I love how they manipulated the engine to achieve a surreal as hell environment in the last mission. I didn't really get to do any of the other issues the first time around so I'm hoping they're just as good as the Freeborn one. Anyway I'll shut up now.

I remember the creeping filth event having some good audio but I don't think I have the mp3 I recorded of it anymore. Just wait to hear it when the event goes live though because according to the road map that pubbies are pretending is gospel and will be followed in a timely manner it's going to happen in the next couple months with new story content by the end of the year. I just reply to every post like that with Tokyo is early 2013 and they never say anything back.

As much as I watch horror movies to the point I'll probably die of old age before nearing the end of any of my streaming watchlist queues, when it comes to horror games I'm extremely nitpicky. Too many just go the jumpscare route and call it good and I'm so done with that I'm at the stick a fork in my point. I really like that TSW/SWL is more about the setting being unnerving and creepy since that's right up my alley. I love tromping around the woods that are Country Dark level of black night and hearing something and wondering what the gently caress's coming at me that I can't see yet. I wish I'd started playing it sooner.

Personally I got legit creeped out when I first saw one of the Elder Things. It's the way it moves and the staring eyes.

One of my first "OH poo poo!" moments was at the end of Polaris. I'd never done it before and was soloing it. I'm in the cutscene when not-Cthulhu the Ur-Draug pops up and thinking we'll just fly higher. Then drat if he doesn't look pissed with that expressionless noodle face and does a flying jump for me. I'm thinking after the crash I'm okay and just have to run up the coast a bit. Nooope. Have to fight not-Cthulhu who's so big he's outsized my screen. Que a lot of running behind rocks thinking ohshitohshitohshitohshit.

If you die in Savage Coast and just run around in the shadow-world, you'll see what knocked you back when you tried to enter from the front.  Heck, run around a lot of zones while dead. There's a bunch of critters hanging around, like the cats in front of Templar HQ.

dmboogie posted:Like, real talk, what the hell is the source of that hosed up distorted babbling you can hear by Wolf in The Savage Coast? It seems to be something unique to the area, 'cause it doesn't sound like any of the enemies and I don't hear it anywhere else in the zone; but it just makes me. Not want to be there. I don't hear it. Are you sure you hear something there? Richard M Nixon posted:I think it's a shadow raid by agents of drinkfist. Someone keeps faxing me beecock also. Related? Not related. Also the cabal bank logs worked in TSW. Thats how the Illuminati guild found out some girl emptied the guild valult and bank to buy 3000 tacos to eat for an achievement. Also. Shadow raid? I run an exclusive group of incompetent bumbling madmen. If it was me then you would wake up when we knock over all the china in an attempt to steal your couch for all the loose change that slipped in there over the years. You know. Fun Morons.
