It's not a horror game, but Dear Esther had some "missable scares" in that there are (randomized, I believe?) dark silhouette people that you can see at certain parts, like wandering the cliffs in the distance.veni veni veni posted:I don't actually remember that scene, To be clear, the head itself is actually super obvious (it's the only other thing in the fridge), it's just on-screen very briefly. I had quickly glanced away to check my phone and missed it! Your story made me  . If it makes you feel any better, I would NOT have let that poo poo go, ha.

Coming in late with this advice, but please get the End of Zoe DLC after you play through 7, it is perhaps the most purely delightful thing the franchise has produced

friend bought me the resi evil bundle bc i've literally never played any of them, is there anything i should know before i start (besides that i apparently want to do 5 and 6 co-op to make them less of a slog)

End of Zoe is a lot of fun it's too bad it's not included in that humble bundle

White Day had scares included based on the difficulty level which I think is a bad idea because it was already too difficult and I want to be maximum scared without being smacked around even harder Scariness should have been a selectable difficulty like the Puzzle/Combat divide in Silent Hill

I can't remember it but there was definitely a recent-ish horror game that let you toggle jump scares on/off and that's a really smart idea. As for Resident Evil, I think Umbrella only technically existed in 1 + 2, every other form is like a splinter group or in the case of 7 Chris makes the smoothbrained decision to name his anti-bioterrorism taskforce after the Apple-Amazon-Microsoft-Google of bioterrorists.

Nah they're still around in Code Veronica too, Claire gets caught infiltrating one of their office buildings (alone for some reason) and they rake the entire building with helicopter mounted minigun fire and get like 30 of their own guys killed to catch her and then throw her into a secret island prison. So they're still enough of a company to have office buildings and secret island prisons at least.

I'm extremely close to platinum trophying Song of Horror and I'll be glad when it's done. Not that it's a bad game, just that beating the game on HP Lovecraft difficulty is actually fairly difficult and the Presence begins hunting you from the beginning of every single chapter. Some decent scares in it.

I'm not salty about Friday dying at all

I'm glad that Dead By Daylight is no longer going to be the only asymmetrical horror game. I hate the toxic survivor community and they expect you to play by certain rules as the killer. Hopefully, it will have a decent population or like Sigher said, its going to be hard to find a game.

DbD killer rules only matter if you're susceptible to peer pressure and 12 years of D.A.R.E. propaganda has made me immune. I will slug as I please.

not to mention survivors will just imagine poo poo up themselves that you in fact didn't do, or project their own feelings onto your actions. You either get zen about DbD or you get really mad, and there really feels like no in-between.

Yup, if killers obeyed all the "unwritten rules" of DBD it'd be complete poo poo. Slug, tunnel and facecamp all you want, you're a loving slasher villain, you're meant to be evil and unfair.

I, as a killer, want survivors to have fun too. But there's a difference between a tense, competitive match with some fun spooks or unexpected twists and me just being a extra polite and oops sir did you need me to stop at that pallet so you can stun me? Oh sorry let me stare into the flashlight for you, oh pardon me I'll open that gate for you. IMO the problem is the tribalism and the fact each side basically doesn't consider the other a human being playing a video game for fun after a certain point. It's real weird.

Predator Hunting ground was kind of alright if you could snag for 20 or so bucks. I got about that much fun out of it with some friends. A the time it was a bit janky so I'm not sure if any of that has been cleaned up. The Predator could get stuck in trees, things like that.

Well, the ones that try and just copy DbD have that problem, there have been other horror feeling asymmetrical multiplayer games that have lasted a while in their time. Evil Dead is still going relatively strong and that just came out; before then you had games like Natural Selection for team multiplayer or something like Depth which is my favorite "getting eaten by sharks" game. I never really saw what everyone else did in the Friday the 13th game; it was fine but Jason was too lethal. If you got kitted out and practice with weapons then you can survive but as a newer player your practice basically came down to going for a swing and then getting just straight executed.

Jason wasn't too lethal at all, he was supernatural serial killer lethal which was the point. All of the cool sick ways you could be killed by Jason made the whole thing a horror movie, and incentivised players being okay with dying because, well, that's usually what happened in the movies and you just got to see the sleeping bag kill but on you If you managed to stay quiet and hidden the whole game and the cops got called you had a shot, if a Bugzy valiantly barged in and smacked Jason with a crowbar, Vanessa just might be able to get away. F13 wasn't about winning, it was about being a stupid teenager in a F13 movie and creating movie worthy moments and it was glorious.

Yeah that's what everyone says about it and it makes for some good animations but I just don't find it fun. It didn't feel like you were being hunted, more like you were in a footrace with an abrams tank that can teleport, and that's just annoying rather than scary. But to each their own, I'm not a giant fan of the series so that might be the missing key in all of it.

I always found DBD was fun if I ignored the community entirely and just played killer most of the time. I played survivor with goons a few times and that was pretty fun too. But yeah, if I'm the killer, there's no etiquette. I'm going to kill you any way I can. I don't face camp because it feels a little douchy to me, but anything else is fair game.

Face camping (had to look it up, why is it called that) just sounds boring for everyone involved, and I don't see the benefit - sure, I guess the survivor dies eventually, but in the meantime everyone's running around getting poo poo done and you're just standing there doing nothing.

Its a bad way to play and only bad players do it as an actual strategy but it's also a thing to meet toxicity with toxicity when someone is being a dick.

I can't speak for many others, but VHS fell kinda flat for me because you have a very limited window of being "ooooh the MONSTER" and then the teens just pile on you, at least from my experience. Maybe if they had a secondary objective that put pressure on their main one, but eh.

"Tunnelling" is the DBD complaint I never got. If you're bad enough at playing survivor that I can catch you repeatedly, then surely that's just on you to get better at escaping?

Gyro Zeppeli posted:"Tunnelling" is the DBD complaint I never got. If you're bad enough at playing survivor that I can catch you repeatedly, then surely that's just on you to get better at escaping? the "correct" term for tunnelling is when you go out of your way to punish a specific player and get them dead as fast as possible, including targeting them the second they get off hook so that it's not "catch repeatedly" so much as "make it so you never get a chance to play the game altogether". That said, like other terms survivors use towards killers, it got watered down/spread out so much that its lost its meaning

I've never played DbD but "slugging" just seems like good strategy and if it ruins the pacing of the game that's on the game's design. I guess there are perks that eventually get you back on your feet but if it's game breaking issue maybe the designers should've factored in a timer or an area where downed players can lift themselves up. But thematically using an injured person as bait is what predators do.
