The original Japanese title is "D's Dining Table" where the identity of D is a major twist

Sam Barlow is kind of a lame auteur but I liked the investigative gameplay of Her Story even if the reveal stinks. But yeah I’ll take a hundred of his games over a single Cage game (opinion subject to change if Barlow is revealed to be a poo poo).

im mostly neutral on his games other than thinking he relies on twists too much. i know some people hate his guts because he was involved with a couple bad silent hill games but at this point anybody that cares is insane

Basic Chunnel posted:Home Safety Hotline is a fun lil game for SCP type appreciators and CRT enthusiasts This was a fun quick game. Not a whole lot to it, but if you like analog horror and browsing fake wikis and then being quizzed on them, this game's for you. I laughed a bit when I unlocked the behind the scenes after finishing the game and found out the devs and actors are former employees of the Evermore theme park.

I suspect I know the answer to this already, but are Penumbra: Overture and Amnesia: Dark Descent still recommended? Both are ridiculously cheap on Steam at the minute (90% off, each) and I've played neither. Infact with the exception of SOMA, which I thought was great, I've never played a Frictional game. Anything specific to know either in favour or against giving these 2 a go? Bumhead fucked around with this message at 12:55 on Jan 30, 2024 |

Cost of both wouldn't even cover a bus fare anywhere useful, so might as well. Penumbra's the more interesting of the two.

Penumbra is great. It's obviously a little rougher, but it has more involved gameplay mechanics than Amnesia (I recall the latter being derided in some places as a bit of a theme park/walking sim by comparison, and while I do enjoy it, that has some merit) , in a way Frictional didn't really revisit until The Bunker.

The first Penumbra was the weakest, with Frictional kinda just getting their footing with aspects like killer dogs that patrolled areas, but it's still good. The sequel really shines. The third game is simply a puzzle game with horror vibes (that I wrote a walkthrough on to cash in on an Amazon gift card). Amnesia nails the horror vibes, but the gameplay isn't quite as good.

The third game is simply a puzzle game with horror vibes (that I wrote a walkthrough on to cash in on an Amazon gift card). I replayed the Penumbra games last year after being randomly reminded of them and my enthusiasm steadily rose through 1 and 2 and then I hit 3 and ten seconds after I loaded in I was like "oh yeah...linear puzzle game" and quit out. It'd be really cool if modern Frictional went back and did an alternate Penumbra: Requiem that continued on from Black Plague (even if in spirit rather than a direct sequel).

From today's State of Play, we have a free to play Silent Hill that looks neat if it's not all microtransactiony. And SH2 footage focused on combat that, uh, looks like combat all right https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmEamyHS3c4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayKICAIUHkA

I honestly think Short Message is the worst demo I've ever played. The writing is hideous and the gameplay is worse than that. I hated every minute I played it and only finished it because I didn't respect my time as a sunk cost. It is insultingly bad

It's trying so hard to recreate the magic of PT, but it's just Layers of Fear. I don't know if Bloober Team had any involvement with it, everything I've been reading is people swearing up-and-down that it's from an internal Konami dev team. If it was made by an internal Konami non-Bloober team, then they looked at Layers of Fear and said "hey we can do one of those" For anybody curious: it's got a full-screen list of Content Warnings that it hits you with twice before the game even starts. it's doing a stuck-in-a-loop type of story with fake endings, but it refuses to commit to the bit of actually rolling credits, but it does put the content warning up again like you're restarting the game, and then immediately has the protagonist comment on how they're stuck in a loop. Showing the content warnings once is a warning, twice is corny, four times is showing them off. the writing is so loving corny and it fails to wrap around into "so bad it's good" territory bawk fucked around with this message at 04:55 on Feb 1, 2024 |

There's like eight people in the credits and almost all of them are from external support studios like Hexadive, then Yamaoka and Ito are there as freelancers. The only actual Konami employee is the director which is about what I expected because Konami has zero internal dev teams. I'm sure this will somehow be twisted around to being about Bloober Team at some point though.
