i watched VHS 85 and sadly it sucked. idk why the horror thread loves it so much because it fails both on a conceptual level and as a found footage anthology for me. the acting and cinematography felt very unnatural, the stories took predictable turns except for the one that REALLY SHOULD NOT HAVE lol. the best short was the first, and the second would have been nearly as good if it wasn't ruined by its dumbfuck ending. the rest, bad bad bad. oh well. they can't all be winners, and in this case, they were mostly losers

Oh I didn't realise there was a new VHS out! Even if it's not great I still enjoy seeing the silly paths they go down to justify these things being recorded, need to check it out

i think VHS 94 is the one that's the most consistent in quality front to back, and then 99 is not as good but still decent and is better for leaning into the comedic side

fondly remembering the time i sat down as a teen and watched fire in the sky in the dead of night thinking it was just gonna be an eerie alien flick, and then the last ten minutes of the film rounded the corner like a loaded bazooka and gave me nightmares for a month

the whole "i can't stop filming my imminent demise" thing is one of the components of the genre you have to be willing to play ball with, and it's understandable if someone finds it a bit silly, but i suspect your general aversion to them is that the overwhelming majority of them are structured terribly as a consequence of them being the prime target for amateur filmmakers or teams on a severe budget blair witch worked as well as it did because there was a genuine sincerity to it: the actors, specifically selected for their improv ability, got what amounted to cliffsnotes for the script and had to wing it the majority of the shoot. this led to moments of dread and terror that felt real in a way that a group of film students of varying capabilities or a studio just trying to make a movie for under $1 million aren't usually going to be able to replicate, and you need that sincere performance to give weight to a film that's otherwise going to mostly be people wandering around spooky locations getting increasingly anxious and irate Vermain fucked around with this message at 08:11 on Oct 7, 2023 |

it's honestly a completely believable scenario in a modern setting where everyone has a high quality film camera that can double as a flashlight and fit snugly into a front coat pocket

I suppose now all you need is a good reason for someone to have a gopro strapped to their head and you can just say they forgot to switch it off.

Psych has an episode thats a Blair Witch parody and the characters keep getting annoyed at the camera guy's refusal to stop filming. "The story needs to be told" "What do you mean?" "I don't know, people always say it in these kinds of movies"

But yeah don't watch Fire In The Sky if you don't like pure nightmare fuel.

I just start thinking why would someone be filming this and it takes me out of it this is why Senritsu Kaiki File Kowasugi File is the best found footage/mocumentary stuff around. They put a lot of thought into what kind of person would insist on continuing to film while encountering horrors beyond comprehension, and the result is the best horror movie hero of all time, Producer Kudo

I played the base game on my xbone that i no longer own. Is this dlc worth playing at all? and the top gun stuff is just a skin and some planes?

The first couple movies are more standard J-Horror fare, with hints that what they’re seeing are only parts of something larger. That screencap is from the sixth film in the series.

Now that they're done remaking Modern Warfares and the WW2 game got a real tepid response, I wonder if they're going to try future stuff again. Then when the playerbase riots, they can reboot modern warfare again , I guess

Rinkles posted:Does COD even need a SP campaign anymore? The perpetual service model seems to be working well for them. my general assumption is that their metrics show significant enough engagement with the singleplayer component that they're afraid of losing sales if they don't include them; i'd imagine there's a core audience that buys it either solely for the SP or for SP + zombies without interacting directly with the game's PVP element this isn't a bad strategy, especially if you're looking to onboard new players: SF6 did it with world tour, and just including that alone probably brought in a raft of new players who never would've touched a fighting game if it didn't have an element they would be at least guaranteed to get some value out of, even if they never ended up hitting multiplayer

Looking at the achievement stats, I'd say no, but they wouldn't keep making elaborate single player campaigns if it didn't make financial sense. I think the achievements show like 30% of players even touch the campaign, but given the stupid numbers cod does, that's a ton of people.

there's probably some kind of business theory that removing the SP component, even if it's not being directly engaged with by the majority of users, reduces the prestige of the title and gives a negative impression of it as "declining", which might drive away either sales or future investment
