Agony looks like total garbage, its impossible to tell what the gently caress is going on with all the visual clutter. If you want to play a game about hell just go pkay Painkiller. Dreadwroth fucked around with this message at 04:52 on Jun 26, 2018 |

I would say just watch a cool guy play Agony instead, but the usual dudes I watch all quit at different points rather than keep bothering.

Yep, I beat it out of morbid curiosity + my love of all things hell and it is a truly awful game. Even taking out the lovely, creepy sex poo poo wouldn't solve agony's vast amounts of problems. One day I hope someone will make a walking simulator based on Wayne Barlowe's inferno and I will die from bliss but today ain't that day.

It was great because Kravin got a good bit further than John, then while playing it on stream he got a deal closer to the end... and then a checkpoint somehow wound him back an assload of time and that was that, RIP in piss.

Well poo poo, RE2make has hit Steam for pre-orders and it looks like it's going for the 3rd person shooter poo poo of the latest games and my excitement for it tanked. I hope there's two different modes or something.

E: capcom recently stressed that tonally it is survival horror, ammo counting, hex crank hoarding RE2 all the way and the gameplay demos back that up. No zombie suplexing here although I still love Resi4. al-azad fucked around with this message at 08:15 on Jun 26, 2018 |

The ONLY thing I didn't like about The Suffering was a weird, technical thing. You get different endings depending on if you kill, help or ignore the people you meet. I don't know if that was some new thing at the time because it wasn't subtle at all, but what killed it(lol) for me was you had to put some real effort into murdering the NPCs. I just recall finding some guard hiding under the stairs getting high and the voice giving it the whole, "kill the coward!" spiel. So, being a bastard, I do... Only I have to loving lay into him with the shiv for about 3 minutes. The dude had a bigger health pool than half the monsters. I don't know if they were going for a "Are you REALLY sure this is what you want to do thing"? Like in Dark Souls you can accidentally hit the NPCs a few times before they aggro. But game, seriously, I've stabbed this guy 10 times now. I'm SURE I want the "evil dickhead" path. Man, can't recall a drat thing about part 2 at all. Probably for the best... Suffering and Dantes Inferno both rule for having a giant Satan with a huge cock as final bosses though.

I recall a dev or someone mentioning that NPCs being pretty beefy was a double feature, so that a stray shot or two doesn't dome them and because a few like the first hardass guard you meet, Clem (The southern dude that's gonna raft out) and especially Ernesto have lengthy segments with a bunch of fighting if you're helping them, so they don't get gibbed the moment you look away. Which while silly when you're trying to be evil, was nice to have NPCs that could try and handle themselves, I remember Ernesto being pretty good since they slapped a thompson on him right off the bat too. The second game was a really mixed bag with some cool ideas of it's own but a worse plot, weird gameplay design choices and a real rough port. It was in an urban Baltimore setting this time, so the new enemies were based on death like in the first game, things like Arsonists being from poor people burning in building fires, Gorgers being starvation in the Great Depression, Suppressors were police brutality, Triggermen were gun violence, Mainliners from the first game were retooled some and made out to be more like drug pushers than lethal injection deaths, The Horde is a manifestation of a lynch mob and so on to that effect. The cast of big antagonists were the returning Dr. Killjoy, The Creeper, who was a pimp turned serial killer, Copperfield, who had been a slave hunter back in those days, then The Foundation, who were some group that wanted to hunt and study the monsters or something like that, led by a lady named Jordan.

Dead End Road if it was a pixelated game, Rides with Strangers if it was hitchhiking and you had to manage your nerves, BEWARE if it was about you being chased by some other people in a car in a country setting.

Ghost Master is on GoG for like 2 bucks. For those who haven't tried it: It's a pretty unique game where you play the titular Ghost Master, some sort of otherworldly spirit, who commands other spirits in various hauntings. It's basically a RTS/puzzle game where you choose a team of ghosts/elementals/poltergeists/etc go into a location and must complete objectives often recruiting new haunters along the way. The most common one being scare away X mortals but some missions are a bit more complex like one that requires you to lead the living to all corpses hidden within secret rooms in their house. It can be a bit fiddly but I really like the silly yet creepy tone and look of everything and it's drat good fun.

FreudianSlippers posted:Ghost Master is on GoG for like 2 bucks. Ghost Master is great, and a lot of fun so I will happily second this recommendation. It’s a really interesting concept, and there’s really nothing like it. Getting the humans to do what you want can be frustrating sometimes as they have an essence of Sims-like free will, so I’ll agree with the puzzle-like nature of it.

Also they took away your weapons. Also not visually-speaking, but design-wise it was so dull. Just corridors. Then there were caves. Come on, guys, why.

Poulpe posted:How did they ruin the final act of RE7 out of curiosity? Haven't played it myself The whole game up until then is a slow, atmospheric title with one of the coolest settings RE's had with a backwater "mansion" situated on a bayou. The final portion of the game you leave the setting and end up on a scientific tanker ship (been there, done that) with almost no puzzle elements anymore but a whole lot of combat that you get thrown into. The gun mechanics in the game are pretty lovely but they work when you don't have to deal with them as much during the first portion of the game and during boss fights. But it's just tons and tons of enemies in the end. Also the plot gets revealed to be just a carbon copy of FEAR and the shlock goes through the roof with a stupid as poo poo psychic little girl and flash back sequences. The final part of the game has you running through a really dull cave section with even more enemies then the tanker ship before you get to the last boss. It's such a colossal nose dive it's baffling. It really feels like two different RE titles crammed into one. Before I hit the tanker RE7 was my favorite RE title because it's just so good, but once I hit that tanker my enthusiasm hit rock bottom. On subsequent playthroughs when I played again to unlock things I thought maybe it'd be better but it's just complete poo poo.

Spooky girl antagonist is as much of the genre as jump scares. Plus it blended the whole 'family' theme of the villains fairly well, given what she was like (and made the others fairly sympathetic, except for Lucas, gently caress that guy). Plus the things you notice on the second playthrough that hint at her nature and current form are pretty neat. Everything else is dead-on though. Bogart posted:Did the Not A Hero dlc ever come out? Sure did. gently caress things up as Mr Redfield, and it's free too.

Yeah, but it's a trope that's been run into the ground at this point and nothing new or interesting was done with it in RE7 save for her being the old woman/source of the plague or whatever. It could have really been done well, but I'm pretty sure they ran out of time/money to properly flesh out that final act. It feels super rushed. If they took out all of the parts were you see her as a little girl, the flashbacks, half the combat and a different setting so that you slowly come to realize who she is through audio/text/video logs which then leads up to the final fight it would have been so much better. Also the fact that there isn't a single Alligator in the whole game is such a missed opportunity.
