Brackhar posted:I couldn't get into Alan Wake. It's a pretty game, but it's also a game about a writer with particularly bad writing. That was a bit too much for me. Isn't it heavily alluded to that he wrote Max Payne or something similar to it? You kinda have to love that hammy type of dialogue to enjoy the game, I feel.

Accordion Man posted:Yeah, its pretty lame. Malfunctioning animatronics that think you're one of them and are trying to make you whole by shoving you in a wire-filled animatronic suit was more creative and fit the tone better than THE GHOSTS OF MURDERED CHILDREN, SO EDGY! Did they ever confirm that it was an actual person that killed the kids originally or was it just one of the suits? I don't remember.

Macaluso posted:Maybe the AC is broken in the place, or turned off to save on the electric bill. And it's just really really hot and stuffy inside the mask! Or the suits could get suspicious, or the mask might just be really lovely and you can't breathe, or different suits may react to the mask differently. Who knows!

It's a good idea, actually; with eight robots loving around you'll actually need to Pay The gently caress Attention to who is where, instead of just whether or not they're close to you.

SirDrone posted:Apart from the Fox animatronic you would think the creator would have at least one more animatronic or gimmick where one of them slowly moves or sprints at you in the camera feed. Just seeing them move around live in that creepy 90's CGI animation down a hallway next to you would be terrifying and I'm kinda bummed the third game didn't have that since it's only one robot. This one kinda does, because the robot isn't twitchy, it moves like a person and its really gross.

VoidBurger posted:bwahahaha welp, that was basically what I was expecting to happen there. That claim reeked of "false choice that doesn't really matter." Should be entertaining at least? I'm the dope that like Silent Hill Homecoming, so I have a soft spot for bad horror games. I thought homecoming was okay outside of the two choices that determine your ending. I got the dream ending and was furious.

I went ahead and played through Layers of Fear the other day. It was a fun little haunted house adventure, I guess. Some of the "scares" ended up being super funny though, like when you open a door to a close up of a face and turn around and there is an extremely tiny version of that portrait on the wall behind you made me laugh.DeathChicken posted:Alien: Isolation actually managed to be really scary just by spacing their save points out. There were no checkpoints, you had to dart from phone to phone while that stupid nine foot bastard just would not go away. There was a constant threat of losing a chunk of your progress if you did something dumb. AI was super good, but it was like 3-4 hours longer than it needed to be unfortunately.

I mean the Baldi's guy could also possibly live in the rear end end of nowhere where living expenses are like, $700 a month. For some loving reason most indie devs decide that it is extremely important to move to San Francisco, home of $6k rents, and then they run out of money immediately.

Part of me wonders if team silent hates sh2 because it poisoned the discourse around the series Everything that came after it was compared to it and found wanting, even if it played better or did interesting things with the premise.

Discendo Vox posted:That's a fair point, yeah; and I do think the cult is difficult to reconcile with the despair-focused environmental storytelling of it all, though not impossible. It's hard for me to say what it should look like because the series has (in part at fan demand) become locked into a horrible series of derivative copies of other aspects of SH2. I'm really sick of people with ambiguous, ending-determined Secret Traumas bumping into Other Traumatized Person 1-3, Plot Ghost and Maybe Town Personification X; it's a plot straitjacket. It's because every single silent hill game past 3 is compared endlessly to 2, and people are constantly going "okay here we go SH2 BUT BETTER YAHOO". Silent Hill as a series has become Silent Hill 2, as they desperately try to escape from the fandom that has relegated them to a single plot quote:SH player: How do you know about that? Aren't you Silent Hill 2?
