The other thing that really grinds my gears about Silent Hill 2 is that SH1 is 1. significantly scarier 2. also has a way more interesting story and surreal component to it just because they were willing to leave some thing unanswered. SH1 has a ton of weird components to it that people are willing to just let be part of the game's atmosphere, or admit that it kind of just didn't make sense. SH2 had the documentary where the devs basically said everything in the game has a hidden meaning and every decision was made on purpose and that if you just think hard enough you can solve the game's secret. Which, like, is complete bullshit because the times when the game does do foreshadowing it's super obvious and hamfisted. It feels really disingenuous on the dev's part to say "well you just didn't get it" to the obvious plot holes or how things weren't explained. Like, the fake elevator game show isn't interesting because it ties together the lore components, it's cool because it's weird and scary. An example of this sort of thing that I do like is Room 237, which is a collection of fan theories about "The Shining," but without Kubrick chiming in and being like "uhhh actually this is all true." It's much more of a celebration of the theories themselves, as they go so far as to collect even the most out-there ones ymgve posted:Also there's the batshit ones, like that the entire game is a metaphor for circumcision This one is hilarious and rules because everyone calls this guy dumb and stupid but there is exactly as much in-game evidence for this as the Car Trunk theory which literally everyone who is into SH2 believes

If you mod the game you can noclip into the car trunk and see that there's just a pile of clothes in there, which you'd think would immediately disprove the theory but actually that's evidence that they must have planned for the car trunk to open at some point so it must be special and important

Sorry, wait, the dev didn't say the trunk, they said the backseat, that you can see into during the game and can see with your eyes that its not there.

Aw Yiss I can't wait Speaking of minigames, I've unlocked the Thieves Den in Persona 5 Royal so even if the actual game takes 2 minutes to finish that day I can still waste a bunch of time playing that card game

Saint Freak posted:After a uh, well frankly super crashy launch of Persona Strikers (on PC at least) and getting distracted by other games and the game getting patches to fix it I'm finally getting back into it. Apparently I was only like a half dungeon and an hour of cutscenes away from getting what I assume is my final party member and uh...haha wow. Everything about that moment is amazing.

Sorry, wait, the dev didn't say the trunk, they said the backseat, that you can see into during the game and can see with your eyes that its not there. Being able to see something or not see something isn't exactly out of the norm for silent hill though, considering the letter James has. I hadn't heard of the car trunk theory though. As for batshit game theories, Squall being dead after disc 1 of FF8 is pretty well known as far as that kinda thing goes and it's a pretty fun one too since it almost makes sense. A silly game theory I like is that Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes is actually just an action movie film adaptation of the book Nastasha wrote about the events of MGS1 e: and that Metal Gear Ghost Babel is canon to the series but as a simulation for Raiden to go through as an abstraction of the events of Metal Gear Solid.

Dr. Fishopolis posted:I get vertigo sometimes and one way to trigger it for sure is to lie on my back and let the sky fill my field of view. After a few seconds, I get an uncontrollable, instinctual pang of fear that I'm gonna fall into the sky. I've got it under control enough that it's actually fun to do that now but when I was a kid boy was it weird.

After burning out on marathon sessions of Monster Hunter World with goons, Cruelty Squad provided me with one hell of a gaming whiplash. An FPS take on Hitman where you hunt down assassination targets in open-ended levels, the game feels like it was scraped from the bottom of a 2000's-era "500 Games" CD you found at a flea market. Between the eye-searing visuals, bizarre music (I'd describe it as "MIDI-Punk"), and the dreamlike, barely-coherent level design and narrative, Cruelty Squad managed to steal my attention away from every other game for a good 20 hours or so. Enemy behavior was braindead, I died multiple times to frustrating situations and the UI actively fights against you the entire game, but man does this game ooze FYAD energy: After doing just about everything in the game short of buying a house with my stock market/fishing profits, I'll probably keep it shelved until the final release. That being said, the game is pretty much complete in its current state, for what it's worth. Also, GOATSE TECH

Malls were places where you used to have an EB Games and a Gamestop, then one bought the other and you'd have the bizarre reality of being in one area with two Gamestop'ses. Gamestops.

well drat, i guess i better get to judgement now that a sequel got confirmed ...after i finish 13 sentinels. ...and nier. ...and the entire mgs series because it's apparently weird to, and i quote, 'own the entirety of a franchise you know nothing about and have never touched', according to some people.
