Now I want a game for every horror property where you can twenty hit combo the bad guys while the worst best rock music you've ever heard plays. Resident evil has the movies, Silent Hill basically did that in the comic, but what about Clock Tower. Scissorman isn't going to see it coming.

Scorn is not stealth-focused, so it has that to its advantage. Though hard to tell what most of the gameplay is gonna be like outside of what they've shown.

Sable was always advertised as cruising around a Jean Giraud desert, it never tried to be anything more than that. Scorn I have no idea what kind of game it's supposed to be. The kickstarter suggests it's a survival horror imsim which is red flags all over for a game made by a studio of like 20 on a small-ish budget. E: and it’s a part 1 of 2 ehhhhh And they’ve been working on this since like 2015, we’ve experienced a whole renaissance of the genre in that time. al-azad fucked around with this message at 19:08 on Dec 14, 2021 |

I think for me, part of the issue with Agony (or at least the gameplay I saw) was that I can't really be scared about your game if I can't even tell what's coming at me. Like everything was just wandering through dark caves with a color palette consisting of three different shades of red and brown, while an occasional monster (the same color as the environment) lunges at you. "Oh, there's a flayed person! ..I..think? I dunno, wait, maybe it's just a weird rock?" Re. Scorn: I know the "gun reloading/swapping out barrels" noises are supposed to be gross, but I find them weirdly satisfying.

Man, I keep trying to chew my way through Inscryption and it's alright, like its a halfway decent deckbuilding roguelike that gives you a decent power curve and I'm on the third boss now, but it's not scary. Like, maybe after four more hours and another three bosses it'll unlock the scary but right now it's kind of just vaguely creepy with some Halloween haunted house effects. Which is fine if that is what they are going for but given the response I was expecting more. CuddleCryptid fucked around with this message at 06:02 on Dec 16, 2021 |

No, that's pretty much the vibe of the game IMO. It got overblown as a "horror" game after it came out. At most I'd say it's a pretty eerie narrative game with a distinctive mood, driven by a deck building mechanic. It's very good at being that, but I think all the people who recommended it as either a complex deck builder in the vein of Slay the Spire or as a horror game kind of misrepresented it, unfortunately. It does some interesting narrative things though, so if you're enjoying it at all, I'd recommend sticking with it. The deck building aspect is pretty intentionally designed to make it easy to break it over your knee for that reason.

From everything I've read FNAF: SB is poorly optimized on both PC and consoles. Folks with pretty good comps are getting massive FPS issues on the highest settings and even on Low still get a bunch of jank. There's been a patch on PC recently but dunno if that's fixed issues, and consoles certs take a while regardless.

beyond that (and beyond everything that's come out re: fnaf and cawthorn recently) i was skimming longplays and the whole thing just seems kind of limp it's a generic stealth-em-up that pretty much eschews all the core gameplay elements that the previous games iterated on, and while the "boy and his monster" angle is kind of cute it's nothing you haven't seen before though i guess it deserves some recognition for its new, erm, design philosophy https://twitter.com/RealYouTubeKids/status/1472267542903336962

Other than the graphical stuff, it's kind of middle of the road. Yeah it's not as scary but also my relationship with the series was always that I liked the asthetics and ideas but loving hate jumpscares so I never wanted to play it. Making it Baby's First Alien Isolation brings it from scary to creepy which honestly I'm totally fine with. That being said the animatronics' chase sequences are glitchy as gently caress right now so it's a bit too far on the easy side.

I'm playing some OG Dead Space, and you can definitely feel the Resident Evil 4 influence, in a good way. It also hits about my ideal level of horror in games: a bit of spooky environment and jumps, but nothing too extreme, and most of the tension comes from trying to survive as you blast away groups of gross flesh monsters.

It's funny, Security Breach is a terrible game. The entire map is a maze. The game is not difficult in the slightest except for when it is suddenly a gigantic pain in the rear end. There's no checkpoints leading to huge losses of progress for bullshit reasons. Anamatronics teleport everywhere. The controls are clunky (it feels like this was intended to be VR at some point). It's buggier than the backside of a wet rock. The graphics on PS4 are so bad that most signs are unreadable, and yet it can barely hold itself together long enough to load the atrium. And yet I keep coming back to it because I can see how it could have been good. It captures the feeling of the over-designed lovely arcade perfectly. Thinking of the kind of place that had a light show and wall graphics absolutely everywhere but like six games. Even the terribly tedious laser tag game is basically just a copy of real laser tag maps. It makes me think that there really is room for an arcade horror game that isn't Fredbear: Isolation.

He has a massive beast of a PC and had to turn off a lot of things and tweak it to just maintain frame rate for the recording. The ideas are good and solid but it shows that the ones who designed everything in game were really in over their head and had the concepts of this type of horror game in their head but no idea how to execute it.
