I'm basically on hard mode now since I lost a bunch of health in that orb area with a bunch of enemies and I haven't found a health pickup in an hour. So a single hit kills me which is super cool considering scorn man is just about the least agile video game character. If I run out of shotgun ammo I am probably screwed or going to have to run from everything.

There were a couple of times I thought I'd checkpointed myself into an unwinnable position because I was a single hit away from death with a bunch of almost impossible to avoid enemies in my way and was going to have revert to the last proper save almost an hour ago. Fortunately it never actually came to that but its wasnt a fun feeling, I'd usually missed a heal station somewhere.

Give me more puzzles please, I don't want to kill stuff.

Scorn's visuals must be the one thing one holding it together if the critics are making GBS threads on its combat, puzzles, length, checkpointing, and level of polish.

The visuals are 100% the point of the game, everything else is clearly an afterthought; but the way they absolutely nailed the art and the level of detail they took it to is really astounding. This is a walking sim with some body horror, and from what I've played so far it doesn't really have much actual horror outside of knowing you're going to have to go into combat at some point.

The visuals and sound design are the meat and bones of the game, yeah. Honorable mention to the animations, too, as its not just impressive when static. And they're good enough that people who like horror games will keep going. But I guess we're not exactly new to suffering gameplay for the sake of spoop vibes. More like par for the course. Some of us might not even know better.  e: combat became a lot easier when I realised I should hardly ever try to stand my ground. If you have to fight close with the first weapon, run away after hitting them twice. Abuse LoS where and whenever you can. Won't make it better, but does make it easier and removes the frustration.

Scorn's giving me Inside vibes but in first person. It aesthetically makes a super strong impression, and you feel compelled to push towards somewhere you almost certainly shouldn't be going. Also I think I'm being overly cautious about the combat because I haven't shot anything yet. Most of the critters so far will go away if you don't provoke them.

10 years after release, IMSCARED got an update that's equally surprising and significant! quote:But what's with this update? Very nice to see small indie projects getting extra love and polish after so long! Especially a game like that, which had great scares but some clunky aspects. Time for a redux session!

tried playing dna: dark native apostle today. weird obscure early ps2 bomberman offshoot with a vaguely survival horror theme. it's uh, well i played a really bad low budget survival horror ps1 game recently called chaos break and dna started off decent but the second and third areas gave me vibes closer to that, than to bomberman or a good survival horror game so i quit halfway through. funny opening and some cool music though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qOywJXWTgQ

1stGear posted:8-minute gameplay video of the Dead Space remake. Looks gorgeous and has backported the best parts of Dead Space 2 into the still-solid foundation of DS1 so it should be good. But I do think the Ishimura now being one big interconnected level is a questionable decision. I finally remembered to go back and watch this, and man does it look good. Comparing it to the original game is also crazy - that one's still fine and looks good for the era, but boy does my memory do some work filling it in to make it look more advanced than it actually did until I see the side-by-sides.

i do hope that they'll be willing to break with canon for the remake and slightly adjust the opening to give the tension a bit of room to boil, because my biggest complaint with DeS1 as a horror game is that it shows its hand within, like, 3 minutes of you getting control of isaac and then you're off to the necromorph races even a 10 minute intro/tutorial with no monsters before the big spoop would work fine, IMO

Their commitment to all this during what I assume has been 2-3 years of relentless trolling is impressive. My second thought was of course that I hope the games themselves are all worth it and that we're not getting SH Kart or something.

Hell he's already enjoying himself so he's feeling pretty drat good lol. Teased an unannounced Sony horror game he's calling "Ooze" for now. He finally found the balance between revealing too much and putting up enough to not be whispers on the wind and now he has the cred to just hint at things. The one thing I've never been able to really settle on is why the official Silent Hill account followed him ages ago. Like way back when he was just saying "shits coming at some point trust me" Anyway, if everything holds true we get the SH2 remake, the episodic series and the next main line. Not counting the Sakura/SMS teaser we might get reveal day. TheWorldsaStage fucked around with this message at 08:55 on Oct 17, 2022 |

Man scorn really did just come and go without making much of a splash huh. I get it though, horror tends to be niche in general then the combat is not the greatest and the puzzles are gonna be frustrating for most people. Just funny that there is very little discussion (and the subreddit has barely over 3,000 users) for something that's available on gamepass.

It looked nice but it's five hours long has barely anything to talk about other than the visuals and pre-release trailers showed 80% of was in the final game.

Ineffiable posted:Man scorn really did just come and go without making much of a splash huh. I dunno, it seems to have dominated a lot of discourse and discussion within the communities I follow this weekend. Then again those are a lot of horror focused communities, and I suppose a weekend curiosity ticks the box with how a lot of folks will interact with GamePass. I think it'll keep appearing in screenshot and art focused discussion, but it seems limited for any further long term analysis or chit chat beyond that. I expect this weeks Silent Hill announcements to bury it fairly swiftly too.

It's a game where the visuals are 99% the point so I can't say there's much to talk about outside of "I wish the gameplay was different," which is what most of the discourse is about. I think it's a rad game and it feels genuinely unique despite its flaws.

I'm probably going to end up watching someone play it cause the style of puzzles in the game aren't my thing but I just don't think there's much to talk about with the game due to having no text or dialogue or story to speak of.
