I haven't played it yet but everything about Callisto Protocol sounds like a repeat of The Evil Within. Hype levels high because of the names behind it while the game itself is pretty middle of the road. Although I'm pretty confident I won't hate TCP as muchas TEW whenever I get around to it.

I'm usually too much of a chicken to play horror games myself though I enjoy watching others play as a substitute rather than missing out on them altogether. Does anyone have any recommendations on YouTubers who let's play horror stuff including the latest calisto protocol? I tried searching for one but most I found are either full of themselves by putting too much focus on themselves rather than the game itself like 'Ho Ho, look at me I'm so smart and interesting, these scares are so lame lol'. I don't really want no commentary walkthroughs either, but prefer one who is able to play like someone who's simply into the games and make insightful comments once in a while.

I would argue TEW is the better game because you have all the tools you need to handle more than one enemy. I have played way too much TEW on all possible difficulties.

TEW has a lot more imagination that Callisto too, nice looking as the latter is you spend the majority of the game so far in metal corridors or caves, fighting enemies that look pretty much the same.

John Wolfe is the best horror game YouTuber I'm aware of. His output has slowed recently because of multiple deaths in the family, but he's started a playthrough of TCP.

I beat the Evil Within Too twice, but have no idea how to play the first game because I keep getting my head chopped off by the first enemy.

This was pages ago before TCP's release but I keep getting busy....Vermain posted:i saw a pretty clever priming trick in this indie RE7 knockoff ABG covered where you get a key after like, 15 minutes into the game and it gives you a "press shift to run" prompt without any actual danger until a while later Sorry, which game is "ABG"? I've done searches on Google and itch.io and nothing pops up. Don't want to miss out on something good!

dead space done, final chapter/boss was a snore but holds up overall I do wonder how the remake’s scenario writing will change. this series couldn’t make up its mind on anything in its worldbuilding and backstory, right up to the point where it settled on “moon is zombies, everyone dies”

Well I finished Callisto Protocol, it was fine if uninspired until it introduced the one boss type enemy it had which I can't believe made it in to a finished game they were so poorly designed.

The story barely even existed at all tbh, they might as well have just had a few paragraphs in the manual (metaphorical).

Seconding this. Its so rare to find someone who is competant and doesn't ham it up or scream constantly. I also enjoy MrKravin for similar reasons.

Callisto Protocol being a hyped up 7 hour bugfest for 70$ is such a perfect example of this industry.

I recently beat Blair Witch and despite its less-than-stellar take on PTSD I kind of enjoyed it. Some parts that were a bit of a slog, but it really did that trapped-in-the-woods-by-a-supernatural-force thing well, with some genuinely creepy sections. The method of getting the 'good' ending is stupid, but I liked interacting with Bullet throughout the game and keeping him safe.

The checkpointing in Callisto Protocol sucks! At least checkpoint if I use the shop so if I die 2 minutes after I don't have to rebuy poo poo.

SettingSun posted:I don't get the combat yet so two zombies in the same place destroys me. Once the combat "clicks" this is still an issue, the combat doesn't work with multiple targets engaging you. It completely falls apart as they take turns beating the poo poo out of you from angles you can't even see because the camera is so close. veni veni veni posted:Yeah the plasma cutter is not only the funnest gun but making it your only gun also breaks the game and makes it piss easy. it's hilariously broken. kind of insane that I'm hearing Callisto has basically the same doofy upgrade system. Callisto's upgrade system isn't quite the same, there's very few options and you can't just amass and buy tons of power cores like turning the Plasma Cutter into technological death. Dead Space gives the player a ton of resources to manage, and with good play you'll have so much spare stuff to sell (including ammo) that you can Max out the Plasma Cutter and your suit within the first couple chapters and coast. However, Dead Space gave you a variety of fun weapons that you'll probably be messing around with so in a normal playthrough most people probably won't be shoving all of their Power Cores into a single weapon. Dead Space also had a lot of damage boost upgrades for all of the weapons so you can upgrade them several times damage wise. Callisto Protocol has very few upgrades and no real customizable paths as to how you want to upgrade, it's pretty cut and dry. I've been very, very diligent about exploring all of the levels to making sure I pick up everything up in order to sell stuff and try and max out my weapons but there really isn't a lot of extra you can forage for and become OP with like you could in Dead Space. I've been putting all of my money into upgrading my weapons and not a single one is maxed out. I've never upgraded the Grip, made ammo, or health just so unlike Dead Space you won't be maxing out your starting weapon to allow you to carry you through the whole game. sigher fucked around with this message at 06:55 on Dec 5, 2022 |

One section was an absolute pain because it checkpointed you before the shop and before you opened a bunch of chests with random items in and sometimes when you reloaded those chest would be full of ammo for the crappy weapons that were useless in the next fight.
