Someone a few days ago was asking about the giallo horror genre and if any games pulled it off. I was going to mention Rule of Rose or Haunting Ground but I never played either and didn't really know if they fit that description. I was hoping someone would talk about those games in general and what makes them special. I remember they both came out around the same time to mixed reception, but one is kind of a cult classic. Fake edit, here's the original post: FirstAidKite posted:Anybody here fans of giallo? What is your favorite game that you could describe as giallo?

exquisite tea posted:I can't believe "no John you are the demons" has been around for over a decade as a parody of bad video game plot twists and it still continues to happen in stories that demand to be taken seriously. That's because it's a deliberately pat and superficial statement of a storytelling trope that's existed since the dawn of time.

Siren kind of is, especially bc of its freaky PS2-era face capture aesthetic and all the cutscenes deliberately run at weirdo framerates. The narrative is also barely existent and meted out in a non-chronological order so the whole game just feels like an unstable nightmare.

Rule of Rose isn't giallo inspired though I feel, its much more subdued, unlike gialli which tended very stylistic and loud. The best movie comparison I can give to Rule of Rose is that it feels like the game Guillermo Del Toro would have made if he actually could, it feels very much like Pan's Labyrinth and Devil's Backbone in a lot of ways. Funny enough Castlevania actually has gialli inspiration because Michiru Yamane took inspiration from Goblin in her soundtracks.

Once again I'm pussying out on a game on the final boss  Raam is frustrating as hell and I'm getting absolutely nowhere. The fight feels very much balanced around co-op play. All in all Gears of War has been a fun game but there's been real bullshit difficulty in places. Also my game seemed to cut out half of Act 5 which is really weird.

Lads, it does not matter how tempting it is, having 1L of off-brand chocolate milk for breakfast because it was on sale is not a good idea. Three trips so far.

Why do people say the DS2 DLC is the best part of the the game? So far Brume Tower has been a gigantic pain in the rear end including reusing one of the worst bosses from the main game and seemly deliberately making the boss runs an utter pain. Apart from Fume Knight who was actually pretty cool.

I forgot to bring it up but Hotline Miami 1 feels kind of like a giallo too, i.e, hyper violent, artistically loud, fever dream atmosphere, masked killer, focus on style over narrative cohesion, etc. It's not 1:1 at all, but there are some similarities.

I forgot how loving bad everything about downloadable games on the ps3 was, how you had to have twice as much free space as games were big, how long it took to set up a background download, how long it took to install stuff. last gen was nuts man

I just like that bit from Covenant because of how you can go back to the first shadow hearts game and look at Yuri's mom's portrait and see that yeah they're pretty similar, though it's a shame she died like she did. On top of that, Yuri is half Russian and half Japanese, but with the revelation that Karin was faking the Russian stuff due to papers provided by Anastasia Romanov, it means that Yuri has been German/Japanese the whole time lol FirstAidKite fucked around with this message at 17:32 on May 13, 2018 |
