Inspector Gesicht posted:Given how morbid the subject-matter is throughout in The Forgotten City, as it doesn't whitewash Roman values, it was surprising that the game has a happy canon ending. Oh shoot, thisd reminded me that Forgotten City is a game I started and never went back to, and it was interesting, so I kinda want to do that, even if it isn't strictly a horror game. Outer wilds is a game everyone ought to play, horror fan or not, and everything I hear about 12 minutes disinclines me to play it, so no thanks. I quite liked Sexy Brutale; yeah the ending is kinda whatever but I super dug the artstyle and Read After Burning posted:THAT SOUNDTRACK, THOUGH!

There is only one combat-level in the Forgotten City that is technically skippable to get the best ending, but it is a low point of the game. You shoot these charging enemies once in the head or twice in the torso. There are traps around that take out multiple foes and obstacles that bar them from reaching you. Once you get past that 15 minute slump the rest of the story is plain sailing.

Been replaying the Dead Space games and I'm up to DS3, which is the only one I haven't replayed since launch and didn't remember vividly. In fact I forgot everything before the ice planet even happened. I don't remember poo poo about this game tbh. Played it once alone and then with a friend and forgot it existed. Unlike 2 which I think I've played 5 times now maybe? Was kind of hoping I'd play it and make a redemption post about DS3 "not actually being that bad" and it's not. It's not an awful game or anything. But it also gets everything about DS wrong on such a shocking level. Like, everything. The Co-op focus was the most famous misfire, but why does this game look and play so much shittier than it's predecessor?Why is Issac half the size he used to be? Why do the guns feel like turds? Why don't the necros react to getting shot for poo poo? Why does it look like muddy butt? Why is the lighting sooo bad? It's wild. It's like they had all of these new ideas and 100% of them were crap. ' It just looks and feels so much worse than 2, which is still sublime to look at and play to this day.

Iirc that was the original intent. Which would have been cooler that the final product but honestly Co op was the absolute last thing I ever wanted in Dead Space.

I'm still mad about Dead Space 3's switch from save files to checkpoints loving me over and leaving me in an unwinnable position when I played through the series a couple months back. I could probably have wandered backwards through the game far enough to eventually pick up enough ammo drops to come up with a viable alternate strategy, but my motivation just dropped through the floor and I haven't looked back at the game since.

That 10 minute demo of Ghostwire Tokyo was..... odd. Like a weird, quite slow, open world first person horror game? The combat looks quite ponderous and strange but not necessarily bad. I don't think it sold me entirely on the game but I'm at least interested, it looks like the oddest "big" game I've seen in awhile. thebardyspoon fucked around with this message at 15:19 on Feb 4, 2022 |

Yeah it's hard to tell if that's your typical "we're not sure how to present this in a PR demo" thing where when you're actually playing, you'll do it way faster or if it just like that.

Playing through House of Ashes right now, nerves are absolutely shot. I can deal with horror games and such that are designed to spooky the player, but when choices I make lead to character death, I absolutely tense up and my heart pounds. Already got Eric killed since I didn't cut the rope since I thought it'd kill Rachel. Fun to play online with a friend though.

I did a playthrough of the Evil Within recently, first time since its release so it was basically fresh for me, I vaguely recalled killing a lot of offbrand re4 ganados and one good horror section in the middle with offbrand big daddies. It's trashy as all hell but also one of those games like RE4 that impresses you with the the longevity of memorable encounters. I was thinking several times throughout the playthrough, "Ok this is where it starts the slide to the end", but there'd be another good setpiece. If I have any complaint besides the general trashiness and the on rails segments it's that the upgrade system makes you a bit too tanky and capable by the end, the third keeper encounter didn't quite meet its potential for that reason. I get the sense from coverage of the sequel that it went more in the direction of making a polished zombie playground rather than pushing the horror encounters to the nth degree, unfortunate.

Evil Within was wildly uneven at its best, but I feel like most of the malignant reputation it earned was from its technical shortcomings, both on console and PC. It doesn’t feel particularly good to play either. There’s neat ideas, and it effectively manages the feeling of playing through a bad fever dream, but it’s a frustrating experience that’s further let down by the pedigree behind it and the overall jank. 2 lost a lot of the atmosphere, but it’s such a better realized product with a level of polish not present in the original.

I don't know if I'd call TEW2 a playground especially at the start where it's extremely easy to get your rear end killed if you approach a situation wrong There's also still plenty of surreal areas and sequences, they just swapped out all the generic filler areas between those in TEW1 with an open world town Blockhouse fucked around with this message at 06:24 on Feb 20, 2022 |

I found the blowback against it was because no matter what kind of horror game you were expecting, you were wrong. First it's a stealth-heavy game where you only have four bullets and enemies are everywhere. Then you get a crossbow that can shoot exploding bolts and you're tearing through enemies left right and center. Then there's a massive boss that's chasing you and you need to get to the set piece that can kill it. Then there's a teleporting ghost boss that kills you in one hit. It's just all over the place, and some people are going to like that sort of thing, but if you're only a fan of one or maybe two of those styles of games, then you're stuck with the rest of it. Also the plot was bizarre and as a player you don't really get enough of an understanding about what's happening unless you play the dlc

Honestly like my biggest beef with it was kind of that too, almost all the pre-release was of Sebastian in the wooded and town area and it gave off an extremely different vibe from what it unravels to. I've come to like 1 plenty more as time's gone but that was still a real big "Egh" for a long time.

I might be old, but using your artistic skills to suck off or meme the gently caress out of some product you are consuming will never not be the lamest use of your own talent. Not to mention it often undermines the intent of the original creators and fucks up whatever they were trying to do for everyone, because the initial concept becomes a joke. For something more recent just look at the big lady from RE8. Some 10 foot tall old timey lady with giant claws chasing you around, ducking under normal sized doors was actually a pretty great horror concept. By the time the game came out it was impossible to even look at as horror because of all the memes and fanart. it all felt like some comical character. If I hadn't read a bunch of stupid poo poo on the internet I feel like I could have appreciated it so much more. Pyramid Head was the creepiest poo poo when that game came out and now he's just straight up comedy because everyone decided to do their own thing with it. It's fine. I'm not trying to "stop" fan art or whatever, because it would be totally futile, but I do think people should try to make their own ideas instead of bandwagoning other peoples ideas That's not even taking into account that half of it is just people trying to make their cartoons easier to masturbate to. Fan art blows.

Pyramid Head was ruined by official products not named Silent Hill 2, and if you don't think RE8's Big Scary Goth Mommy was designed explicitly to go viral I don't know what to tell you and worry less about what other people jerk to, maybe

It's not Ito's fault that Konami sucks rear end. Fan art is going to be made of anything, ever, and that's probably not the reason he's upset.

Honestly If someone drawing goofy Pyramid Head stuff legitimately devalues the character for you, then I feel that's a personal hang-up and not some kind of indictment of fan art. That's not how most people engage with media, especially not with the game that has an ending where a shiba inu with headphones was actually behind the main character's horrible wifemurder guilt-torture nightmare. Like despite people writing stories about Kirk and Spock loving since the 70's Star Trek endures as a franchise and I don't think anyone particularly cared what Roddenberry's dead rear end thought of it.

Big Lady had tits the size of her head and an rear end to match, she was never going to be actually scary until she turned into Resident Evil Giant Monster and even then her design kinda sucked for that because it was all monocolor blobby poo poo. Fanart had nothing to do with it. Moreau is the scariest of the Four Lords because he lets you know he’s the best.

Fan art is how media transcends the small bubble it exists in and without fandom SH2 would exist as a curiosity forgotten 20 years ago instead of remembered forever. And maybe that cheapens the original in hindsight but it doesn't erase it from existence you can always experience SH2 as it existed back then.
