Silent Hill: The Room gets a lot of crap at times (most of it warranted) but it still is probably my favorite entry in the series since the original. Most of this is due to the first person exploration of the room itself and finding all the haunting and other creepy poo poo.

The funny thing is that all those silly animal noises are in the official trailer, yet someone how they come off more creepy than they have any right to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIZlIQKquNk Also while on the topic of SH 4's trailers - The extended version is better than the game itself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKfdpwl5Vtc Why couldn't we get a low-budget Silent Hill movie shot in that sort of style?

Accordion Man posted:Just finished Bad Mojo, the game where you play as a dude that gets turned into a cockroach, and it was a cool game. It had its fair share of 90's FMV cheese but man the atmosphere in that game is great. It's just really scummy and dank and having you be a defenseless little roach really makes you start to fear even the most basic of things. The only real flaw is that is some really bad backtracking towards the end of the game if you didn't do something early on. Overall its a really unique game and its nice that Night Dive brought it back. I remember many years ago there was a low budget video game review show that came on one of our local channels. I think the thing only had like three episodes that it would cycle through - one mainly about Duke 3D played with a really weird track ball mouse, one live at some lovely game conference that looked like it was held in a school auditorium, and one on Bad Mojo where over most of the screens were censored out due to "disgusting content". I wish I remember what the show was called to see if any footage survived to today.

Alan Wake is much more enjoyable if you imagine you are playing as Garth Marenghi and all the floating objects flying at you have visible wires.

Doctor Goat posted:All three Leon games are the best in the main series. I would be fine if the last RE game ever made was just a blatant copy of "I Am Legend" Every human on the planet is dead except Leon, and the BOWs have evolved to the point where they are starting to form their own civilization. Leon would keep on killing them in an endless war, but would slowly come to the realization that it's their world now and in their eyes - he is the real crazed monster.... Then he would keep suplexing the poo poo out them, because, gently caress them.

RightClickSaveAs posted:I was introduced to Duke Nukem 3D due to it being bundled with a joystick. It was the Atomic edition too! I never actually used it for playing that game though. I remember watching some public access video game show back in the day that was showing off some weird mouse/joystick hybrid device and the game they demoed with it was Duke3D. I haven't thought about that show in over a decade and have no clue what it was called. I wonder if the joystick you got was the same one.

If you can somehow brainwash yourself into thinking it was called The Suffering: Downpour and not Silent Hill: Downpour, it becomes a slightly more enjoyable game. The prison themes are just a better fit. I still want another Suffering game someday though. Vakal fucked around with this message at 16:55 on Sep 15, 2017 |

Aside from the dumb Korn song, Daniel Licht did a pretty good job for the soundtrack for Downpour with a couple of the tracks being the only thing I liked about the entire game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mk9bnJnHMIs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJJcvvnGbKs Of course it doesn't compare to Akira Yamaoka's stuff in the rest of the series, but then, what could?

I'm a sucker for games where the central hub is a spooky house that subtly changes each time you leave to explore an offsite area then return to it. Resident Evil 1, Realms of the Haunting, Clive Barker's Undying, etc. I thought Gone Home was going to be like that as well, but like 10 minutes into it I realized it was basically just a computerized doll house.

Soma has such a nice, slow burn throughout that really builds upon itself. Compare that to Outlast 2 which blows its load within the first 20 minutes and becomes a tedious slog for the rest of its overly long playtime.

Skyscraper posted:I haven't played The Evil Within's DLC despite people saying it's awesome, Awesome is a strong word. I'd say it's way more focused than the main game, with that focus being heavily on stealth and evasion rather than combat. If you enjoy that then you will enjoy the two Kidman DLCs. You can safely skip them if you don't. The executioner DLC is just an action heavy fun romp that has no story.

In Outlast 2 you literally fall into a pit full of dead children within the first 20 minutes of gameplay. Where do you really go from there? But yeah, the school sections alone guarantee I never play through the game ever again. What a terrible design decision.

I remember some interview when TR 2013 first came out that defended the rape stuff as being necessary to the story since it was unavoidable part of being human. Having to piss and poo poo is also a unavoidable part of being human, but the game developers seem to have been fine with leaving out the part where Lara has to pop a squat half way through the game.

The_Doctor posted:Why hasn't there been a game similar to Cabin in the Woods? The closest thing I can think of is Ghost Master, but that was.. <googles> christ, 2003? I originally though Until Dawn was going to be like that since at one point in the game: it seemed that there was a equal chance of the threat being either an escaped lunatic slasher, a ghost, a forest monster, or a jigsaw-like psychopath, and I figured that your answers to the psychiatrist's tests about what scared you would determine which you faced. But no, three were just fake outs and it was forest monster all along and none of your choices really mattered that much.

Too Shy Guy posted:The overall atmosphere of the game is effective to this end, with your adventure taking you through abandoned offices, shadowy warehouses, and other mundane locales made sinister merely through moody lighting and an acute sense of isolation. However, punctuating the game with conspicuous NOW IS SCARYTIME segments drains a lot of tension from them. I won’t deny a few are quite effective (beware the air vents) but many rely on cheap jumpscares or atmosphere broken by the obvious telegraphing. I remember when FEAR was first announced, they released a 20 minute or so gameplay demo at E3. The demo took place in the office building section and there was a ton of supernatural and horror poo poo occurring almost constantly. But then when the actual game came out, it seems that they really scaled back on the paranormal stuff and went with more action instead.

Diabetic posted:The IDEA of it is fantastic. A psychiatrist reads your responses and based on that the game changes, the implementation though, is something to be desired. Silent Hill has always been known for its unique monster designs but Shat Memz has one type of monster with tiny variations. If Team Silent got a hold of this and made it, it would've been fantastic. But sadly, gently caress Konami forever, since we'll only see Pyramid head from now on and as a guest character in other games. At this point, I'd really love to have known just what the gently caress Silent Hills would've been story-wise. Shattered Memories was originally supposed to be Silent Hill: Cold Heart and by looking a the original design pitch, was going to be much more ambitious than what we got with SM. http://www.megabearsfan.net/post/2014/12/09/Silent-Hill-Cold-Heart-pitch.aspx

The good thing about the co-op mode in FEAR 3 is that Fettel is unkillable. So if you have a friend that is terrible at videogames/shooters they can just play as him and still contribute without dragging the Point Man player down.

I would be ok if they just kept making an Evil Within game every couple years and never changed the basic premise. The Evil Within 8 Kidman: "Sebastian, you have to help us! The executive director fell into the STEM machine and we really need him for the company softball finals next week! Also the STEM scenario this time is set to a pirate ship floating in the middle of an active volcano. So, good luck with that." Sebastian: "incoherent drunken mumbling" *grabs crossbow*
