I've been having fun reading through a bunch of this old thread (not to mention the yearly month of game writeups  ). I mostly enjoy a light to moderate level of spooks in my own games, playing through Alan Wake right now (which I'd skipped back in the day) and that seems to hit just about right. Plenty of atmosphere, but mostly leaning towards unsettling more than out-and-out horrifying. Good stuff for the leadup to  day.e: by far the scariest thing is how bad I am at the game

How tough is Bloodborne anyway? I've been curious about it for a while but kinda lumped it in with the Dark Souls-esque "too tough to bother with" crowd, but that could easily be a wrong impression that just got stuck in my head. If it has a good range of selectable difficulties I'd actually look at picking it up.

I'll look at it if I can get it down to maybe  but I am unbelievably bad at that sort of game so I don't want to gamble too much on it.

I liked getting an achievement for one of the Ada sections in RE2make, getting through without firing a shot. I didn't even know it was a thing, I'd just gotten tired of fighting and dying so just ran around juking everything, then it popped up at the end and  I'm a badass

Oh cool, how confirmed is RE3Make? (e: R3make? REmak3?) From what I'm seeing, likely but not completely confirmed? I hope it's real, RE2 took a game I couldn't play even back in the day and made it a solid second best in the series, I never even touched 3 so I'd love to see it in a style I can actually enjoy.

How do folks feel about the Call of Cthulhu game? It's $12 on the winter PSN sale (and probably for other systems too), not too bad a price to try it out at.

Haha, that range of mediocre to decent reviews is kinda what I expected. I'll give it a shot for that price.

Cardiovorax posted:I watched someone play through the entirety of it and I think it's categorically worse than Sinking City, so for anyone interested in something Lovecraft-flavoured, I strongly suggest getting that instead. I don't think I was consciously aware of what that one is, definitely adding it to my list if I can get it a bit cheaper. My research on Call of Cthulhu basically went as far as looking at the winter sale games and thinking "ooh, neat".

I have a vague memory of someone recommending me that one but lost track of it because of the obtuse name. Mountains of Madness is basically what I like about Lovecraftian stuff and it is only another 5 bucks.....

Oh yeah, that helps. And I'm not really tied to wanting anything in particular, I saw that book mentioned and it's just the one that best captures the creepy mood I like. I'll give this game a shot too, why not.

I always imagine SS13 Changeling rounds being like The Thing except if clowns were just wandering around pestering Kurt Russel, and Wilford Brimley hosed off to turn the station into some sort of functioning nuclear factor rather than building a tiny ship

It's neat but yeah, for better or worse it's pretty much exactly what you'd imagine a VN to be surrounding its gimmick. I'm not sure I would've gotten through it on my own but it was fun as part of a rowdy drunk stream online.

I thought Subnautica's opening moments had an unexpectedly tense use of body horror, when the fire extinguisher fused with my body and I flailed around helplessly until the tutorial fire killed me.

Honestly, after getting through the tutorial glitch I mentioned, I dropped Subnautica like a hot potato the instant I realized it had resource/crafting mechanics. I just want to see the spooky ocean monsters everyone talks about, not deal with that poo poo   Maybe I'll try again someday, but after No Man's Sky I've just had an instant NOPE reaction to that stuff.

Yeah I'm a little worried about that. I was super hyped since RE2 was the only old-school game I tried in the series, so this one was gonna be pretty much a complete unknown following off a great reimagining. But I don't want to deal with monsters sneaking into my safe areas e: Night10194 posted:They already said the safe rooms thing was a misunderstanding and Nemmy will be keeping out of the actual safe/save areas.

Well shoot. I never played 3 back in the day so I was just hoping for basically more RE2make goodness. Still, number go up so I can also hope for this: Chas McGill posted:I just want Resi 4 in the new engine at this point. Only change I'd make, stick closer to the RE4 character model, RE2make Leon somehow looked like a boy band dropout.

RE4make but with Dino Crisis as the tie-in bonus content. All of Leon's contextual attacks remain intact.

I really need to play that again. I remember thinking at the time that it felt like the devs suddenly got cold feet and leaned hard into jumping back into more familiar modern RE territory after all the creepy house and swamp stuff.
