Brackhar posted:The Forest is currently in version 0.03 or something and just hit early access a few weeks ago. It's far, far too early to judge it yet. There's only an hour or so of content as it is. If they are selling it, its early enough to judge it.

SolidSnakesBandana posted:Whoa whoa whoa, there are people that don't like Black Mesa Source? That poo poo was goddamned incredible. So many wonderful little details. I was absolutely blown away by the quality and it is all entirely free. The absolute worst part about Black Mesa Source was that it eventually ended. I cannot give it enough praise. Just download it already it is free. Black Mesa is pretty good, but I dunno why the gently caress they thought requiring crouch jumps for every jump was a good idea.

al-azad posted:Going through some Japanese horror themed games and I stumbled on one I never heard about. Blood+ One Night Kiss, by Grasshopper and Suda51. It's basically the prototype to No More Heroes with some early rear end Deadly Premonition adventure elements (seriously, Francis York Morgan's running animation is identical to Saya's). A mediocre game by all definitions but stylish e.g. Suda's entire library. Blood+ is one of those series that gets 50,000 adaptations/remakes/spin-offs for no explicable reason, and none of them are good.

The Park is really bad game that attempted to rip-off PT, is full of stupid jump scares, and has an incredibly predictable ending that you could predict right from the start. Also, its only 1 hour of gameplay, and not 2 like the devs claimed.

Len posted:That has absolutely nothing to do with the park from the TSW setting. In the game it's run by a guy who was using black magic and kidnapped/murdered kids to grant immortality or some poo poo. They tie it into TSW in a half-assed way. The Park is also a real place in the game world, just not the version shown in the game. It also includes those lore bits about the park owner even though they are meaningless to the plot. Oh, and they have a bee in a jar randomly show up in the ending too.

yeah, but unfortunately Swery has reactive hypoglycemia and is taking a break from game development, so D4 is now even less likely to be ever finished. Also, while its not a horror game, it does have one really creepy character in it.

VoidBurger posted:I just wanna post a lovely series of documentary-ish videos from a Harvester superfan, because: I'm scared by anyone who is a superfan of Harvester. Its such a morally repulsive video game. Yes, I know it was intentionally being ultra edgy, but I get the feeling that whoever made that game is seriously hosed up in the head. Hell, the lead actor was later arrested for being a pedo. Granted, the game is still somewhat fascinating just because of how morally repulsive it is. Also, the dying of natural causes joke is actually pretty funny.

Accordion Man posted:One thing that really sucked about Alan Wake's narrative is that they put in the revelation that Agent Nightingale is the only person that realizes that Alan's been controlling everyone through the story in a easily missed collectible. The book that came with the collector's edition also explains it. (That isn't much better admittedly.)

Of course, they should give refunds to the backers if that is the case.

discworld is all I read posted:Yeah, honestly the thought process behind Nanashi not getting out (or at least how it did in some limited way) was super weird.

The first two episodes are great, the second two.....not so much. I think the game would've been much better if the episodes were stand-alone. The plot twist was really lame, and retroactively made the first two episodes worse.

al-azad posted:Maybe I'm in the minority but after falling off Resident Evil 7 pretty hard I'm confident that combat ruins horror games. As soon as I have to fight something I've checked out of your atmosphere completely and now enter win-as-optimally-as-possible gamer mode. I think RE7's problem was that there was only one actually invincible enemy in the game.

I can't imagine the licensing fees in a post Disney buyout. The problem wasn't that you weren't playing as one of the existing X-Men. The X-Men universe completely supports adding a new character. The real problem was that the game was a complete garbage heap.
