I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.
Prototype is basically that, but as an open-world brawlershooter.

Yes, but the horror would be the comedic twist of “Our bio weapons program is a total wash and gigantic failure. By complete coincidence, however, we succeeded in creating super soldiers out of the civilians who suffered immensely under our corporate number-chasing, so we’re going to PIVOT and pretend that was the idea all along”

Next Outlast announced. Despite the teaser image it's not a VR game.

Maybe I'm off but what I've seen of the Outlast games, they're basically "what if Blair Witch, Saw, and Generic Mental Hospital #38438743743659120323482930" combined into one gross snuff-fetish package, so I doubt 3 will do anything but be worse

Possibly, but it would be the fourth or fifth attempt now! Meanwhile Dead By Daylight is going strong with too much licensed and original content to really consider being threatened.

Speaking of SAW games, has anyone else here ever heard of this old RPG Maker game where you play as a serial killer and have to construct basement dungeons filled with traps and kill people you abducted so you can get internet likes? I think there was an LP of it. The entire concept is incredibly weird, but somehow story came together surprisingly well. The whole thing ends up making some kind of point about the value of art in the eye of the artist as opposed to how it is received by critics... or something.

It is multiplayer, I saw the news a bit earlier. I really don't understand "we have a well-loved single player series, let's make the next one multiplayer" trend that keeps on happening. Doubly so with something like Outlast.

Edit: Well, I understand it but it seems like it works out extremely rarely.

It has a lot of content, but I suspect that gameplay isn't getting any fresher.

This might be the first Outlast game I end up liking, just because it'll probably have less writing, and be more of a saw knockoff without actually using the writing from that also.

I remember it having quite a few annoyances, and also at that point I really was over SaW's cynical edgelord poo poo, but yeah, by today's standards it was a really solid game.

The sequel game's ending is bullshit but in a way that I think is funny even if all it really does is further drive home that the whole "jigsaw is trying to teach you a lesson, it is your own fault you died" thing is utter bullshit because the games are always designed with the idea that someone is going to die.

I wish I could remember it, because it was really unique and well-executed even if the concept is edgy as gently caress. I only remember that the final line of the game, after you kill a fellow serial killer and friend, is "for that one, I give myself five stars."

It took them until Saw 6 for someone to tell Kramer "Actually for every person you put in a trap for an ostensible reason, you murder someone else just to make a point"

They quickly transitioned from Jigsaw to his more malicious apprentices because you can't keep up with the "I'm not a murderer if I hand you a live grenade" shtick and still have the audience like the villain.

Anyone playing Door In The Woods? Spent a couple hours with it so far and it's a very cool survival horror roguelike. A lot of the fun comes in figuring out its systems so I'm hesitant to detail out the gameplay too much, but it's very tense and spooky and manages to be pretty loving creepy!

I was hoping somebody else had started playing it, I'm having a lot of trouble finding food and most of my combat has been throwing my gun at zombies. I'm assume if you kill a dog you get to eat it afterwards, so I think that'll be my goal next time

The hunger clock is pretty generous and the first stages of hunger/thirst are actually buffs that give you better stamina regen as you grow desperate. The patch that dropped yesterday added another food item to the pool with a pretty cute effect too -- potato chips -- no sanity downside like eating dog food or moldy bread, but opening the bag is really noisy and can alert nearby enemies to your position. I will say that when trying to survive in this game, you usually don't have the resources to do so "perfectly" -- you want to be eating cooked food when possible and boiling water when you're able to, but insisting on doing so all the time will probably get you killed. Eat some old dog food and get filled with despair, drink some dirty swampwater and realize there's something new wriggling around in your stomach, hunt some stray cats (definitely hunt some stray cats)
