I enjoyed Yuppie Psycho but it felt like they didn't really know what to do with the overall plot and I think got kinda unfocused towards the end.

Tried out Desolate with a friend since I saw it in that horror humble bundle. Really weird game, has some nice atmosphere but the actual gameplay itself is too actiony to be really be horror-y to me. Also it has some of the lamest jumpscares I've ever seen and have no idea why they're even there.

I wish there was more randomization for certain things. Especially the side objectives. Like those give the same result no matter what so after you do the side objective for the mermaid one for example, and see that its a punishment that just gives you -2 sanity, youll never ever do it again. Its dumb.

goferchan posted:Inscryption demo is out, too -- it's the horror card game from the creator of Pony Island and The Hex that you may have seen the trailer for this summer. Full release October 19th. I've been in the beta for a while now and I'm really impressed with everything I've seen. The demo is just the first 30 minutes or so of the game, it shouldn't spoil anything later on. Just completed it. Really loving good, can't wait for the full release. One question though. Are you able to do anything with the ring in the demo? I opened the clock I guess by accident (was just messing with the hands and got the right time lol) I saw it on my character's hand but didn't see any option to interact with it before beating the boss.

goferchan posted:Inscryption is out. It's never exactly horrifying but it's consistently creepy with a lot of fun, disturbing subtext to the story. Strong recommend for your Halloween gaming vibes. I beat this just now and it is probably one of my favorite games of recent memory. Absolutely masterfully done and I hope it sells super well. Guy absolutely deserves it.

Playing Silent Hill 3 for the first time, just beat the first boss. Game is good so far (shocker). Is jerky worth using or is it kind of a trap item? So far it seems like its easy to just avoid most monsters, the bullet proof vest seems bad too. It's also crazy how good this game looks, mid to latePS2 really was the best.

Yeah I have no idea. He didn't go into specifics, I asked in chat if he was going to play more and he just said that people told him it "gets bad" so he's not going to bother. Not saying it's true or anything, but that was what happened.

It was cute how you could find a recreation of The Room as an easter egg in Downpour. That and the hanging corpse that changes to a tire swing (I think? been forever) whenever you move the camera away or back were neat imo.

I always feel like there's a disconnect when people bring up that stuff in good faith where they think advocates for Content Warnings want the game to open up with a list that says specifically what every possible PTSD inducing scene is in exact terms, or that they're talking about things that just make them feel bad. That behavior might have been more common in the early to mid 10s Tumblr generation but it's basically died out entirely. (thank god) A game having a disclaimer that "hey this game deals with sexual assault/suicide/etc" doesn't hurt anyone or take away anything from the game.

I love House Of The Dead and was super bummed when the local arcade took out their 3 and 4 machines. That special version of 4 that only exist(s)(ed?) in Vegas and like 2 other places where it's more like a "ride" or whatever is my white whale and I am sad everytime I think about it since I'll never be able to play it...

Reviews seem to say that the pathing is real messed up and enemies get caught on tables or doors very easily. Probably going to wait for some patches but it looks great otherwise.

I watched a streamer play it and it seems neat but also really buggy. He had to reload twice because an event broke and wouldn't let him interact with the corpse at all, and since there's no real saving it kinda just arbitrarily put him back a certain amount. The timer seems kind of fake though, not sure what the actual mechanics were for it. The first run he was mostly messing around and it took a very very long time for his scribbles to change, and on his second run he was pretty swift and it progressed extremely fast, wouldn't be surprised if it's actually progress based rather than time. I will give it points for relying mostly on spooky things in the background for the horror and not screaming jumpscares though. Ibram Gaunt fucked around with this message at 19:48 on Aug 7, 2022 |

Morpheus posted:Shattered Memories was neat, the chase sequences were just waaaaaay too long, and once you realize that there is nothing that can hurt you when you're not in a chase, it loses a lot of its teeth. This is true but I did enjoy the one time they went against this. ( I think it's when you first enter the school?) where the solution to the puzzle immediately after the chase sequence requires you to go back outside into danger to solve. Was a good way to instill some dread as you realize you aren't getting a rest just yet.

Was having a trip down memory lane the other day and, did anyone else here play Nightmare Ned as a kid? It was based on some Disney show (that I never saw) but it was honestly a pretty unnerving adventure game that dealt with themes I think most kids could get on some level (fear of doctors, anxiety about school, death of a grandparent, etc) It's obviously pretty cartoony and not like mega scary but it still has things I distinctly remember even 20+ years later creeping me out. Good production values for the time too.

CuddleCryptid posted:YES. That's one of those "I feel like I played it in a dream" games because it left no mark on anything but I loved it as a kid. The mix of physical objects and drawing was a good look, and it was creepy and gross without being too outright scary for a kid. It was also hard as poo poo at times, with your yoyo attack being just barely longer than the enemy's range, and there are a lot of fast movement areas. Yeah the art mixing was one of the parts I remember so distinctly. Loved the creepy photorealistic fish head on one of the animals in the mansion level, or the stop motion boss fights in the school level.

Morpheus posted:I have issues but not that one. Every time an area loads in (so, either the lobby or a new haunt) I need to go into audio settings, turn off 'always on', then turn it back on. This poo poo was happening to me and driving me insane. I personally fixed it by disabling my VR audio device (even though I wasn't using it) and it fixed it. Dunno if you have an oculus or whatever plugged in but it could be that like it was for me.

Yeah the PC port is a disaster. Unless they fixed it up in any fashion over the years it still shows generic "1 2 3 4" controller buttons for everything even when using m/kb, crashes abound and terrible audio glitches.

I feel like World Of Horror would have been better if it wasn't so rigid. I know it's meant to be like a board game in that sense where everything is pretty set in stone just which events you get are random but some more variance would be nice. Like once you do the optional objective for some of the cases, and see that for some they're just straight up negatives (I think the mermaid one is just -2 sanity and doesn't have any bearing on the endings?) then you have zero reason to EVER try for it ever again which is just..goofy.

Oh and before I forget, the other problem I have with World of Horror is the combat is not very interesting. There's a bunch of options you can do but I honestly feel like there's no reason not to just prepare - > attack over and over. I know you can kill spirit enemies with a specific clap bow combo but you have to trial and error that every run or whatever which doesn't seem worth the resource drain.

The Goosebumps Horrorland adventure game was sick as hell..I'm sure it's not remotely scary at all but when I was a little kid it had parts that made me so anxious I had a hard time getting through it. Like when the mummy chases you through a vent or there was some like optional area I refused to ever go to (I think it was like the sewers? or something) where you could get extra stuff but were chased in a maze by a monster the whole time. e: This loving thing

They treat dismemberment alot more seriously in ratings. I only know this because in Dragonball Z a character loses their arm but in basically all games that include this character just have him with a bum one instead so they don't get hosed by ratings. And also why like your hand doesn't get chopped off in JP RE8. So I'm guessing it has to do with that.
