That’s why you use metacritic (where Frozen Wilds has 83)

TFW was really high quality DLC, especially for the length. I’d put it right up there with Lair of the Shadow Broker for ME2 or Citadel for ME3, except it’s considerably larger than either of those.

I'm about to finish TFW and I'm enjoying the poo poo out of it. The upgraded weapons and armor are cool and while I don't give a drat about the new weapons, the new zone is great.

I'd just come off Day of the Tentacle Remastered and Telltale's Batman so I was amped to try a Japanese adventure game for a change but then just deleted it soon after and played Stories: The Path of Destinies instead. I wish I had been so quick to disregard it. Its trash. But you have good taste!

Yeah Psycho-Pass isn't very good but that post came off as 'why isn't it like these western adventure games' when isn't even remotely trying to be.

About Machine for Pigs, my group of friends like to play horror games together and after enjoying first Amnesia, our hopes were pretty high. But as mentioned before, it's quite dull and not scary. Those are kinda my fears about SOMA too, that is more of a moody walking simulator than a horror game. Nothing wrong with that, but just not what we are looking for. On the other hand we've been playing RE7, and holy poo poo this game is scary. That bad guy chasing you and coming through the wall was perfectly timed and got me good.

RE7 is great. Even on my second playthrough I jumped from a scripted scare because I forgot it was there and I was already tense from sneaking past several enemies with next to no ammo.

...! posted:Yeah A Machine for Pigs is just a boring walking simulator but it's still better than Dark Descent. While amnesia as a storytelling device is played out as hell, I loved Dark Descent because it has the most palpable darkness in any game ever and does some really brilliant stuff like having invisible footsteps pursue you in ankle-deep water. The sanity mechanic works well. I like the psychologically wounded protagonist in A Machine for Pigs (until the very end), but Dark Descent is one of the most effective horror games I've ever played. I could only do it in 30-minute bursts before something would make me stop from anxiety or fear. It was excellent at building tension, and you almost never feel safe throughout the entire game. A Machine for Pigs just runs the "humans are mindless pigmeat" metaphor into the ground by the end and it didn't build dread through the lore scraps you find nearly as well as Dark Descent. SOMA is on my shortlist and I can't wait to play it. MeatwadIsGod fucked around with this message at 12:40 on Jul 26, 2018 |

B-Mac posted:Is TFW better played post main campaign or is there is a better spot to start it? It links into the main campaign at any point but it’s significantly harder than anything else in vanilla HZD so it’s intended you’ll be pretty far along before attempting it. Contextually the story makes the most sense if you play it following Deep Secrets of the Earth or The Mountain That Fell, but before the last mission of the game.

I’m level 42 with all the hunting lodge weapons + other purple weapons and armor but I’ve been basically putting the main quest to side. I’ll just wait until I hit those points, thanks!

Stories is a really good game, except for the generic name. Honestly by only problem with it, and if they patched I would plat the game immediately, is that you can only skip the cutscenes, and not the in-engine dialogue scenes. So in a game where you're expected to repeat story paths a lot, you have to watch the protagonist meet up with his bunny friend and talk about what happened, and what the plan is, and etc every single time. I just got so annoyed with having to see it every time.

SOMA is incredibly good, and so is RE7. I'm playing through the other REs right now (numbered + CVX at least) but can't wait to go back and play through Madhouse. I got the Gold edition pretty cheap and haven't really looked at the prequel DLC but Not a Hero and End of Zoe are very very good and fun.

Digirat posted:I don't think they've said they're making console versions of Darkwood, but they really should. I think it will run on a potato PC/laptop though so anyone with at least that should check it out! the darkwood devs actually uploaded a legit (and now several versions out of date) copy of their game to torrent sites because they'd rather have somebody pirate it than buy it from a key reseller, so its a game you can actually try totally risk free and then when you enjoy it kick the twelve bucks or whatever to buy the up to date thing and support the devs. i was surprised at how well a top down perspective could work for a horror game.

dont need too anymore, someone uploaded a video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gtpsZlvTDk i'd skip to the 20 minute mark to avoid any spoilers if, i remember watching the intro when i had the ps3 version a few months ago and covering the subtitles thinking i wouldnt get any spoilers and these past few months since playing 0, kiwami and watching trailers for kiwami 2 i've been piecing poo poo together and its  looks smooth and super fast load times. looks like 0 but with chunkier models and kiryu gliding all over the place during combat, get why they wouldnt waste money on a kiwami 3.

How long does a SOMA playthrough take? I started it and haven't picked it up in over a year so I don't really remember what's happening. This coming weekend is looking fairly empty and I'd be down to smash it out in a sitting if that's possible.

This is going to hurt my broke self.

One more vote for SOMA being Extremely Good. It's not just a good game and a good horror game but a good piece of science fiction.

It's very good and one of my favorite games of its type.
