COP is a pro buy for the spooks. I think RPS ranked it number 1 on their top horror game list. Not that RPS is good...

I keep thinking about reinstalling The Stinking City in the hopes that maybe this time it will be better?

Thank you Zombi, I never knew I needed a loving insipid arena section in my tense zombie survival game.

Condemned 2 had a much better investigation system, at the cost of basically every other potentially good feature in the game. Just...the secondary character changes alone...and the writing...It really makes it seem that Condemned 1 was a great horror game as a function of chance, rather than design.

The change to Rosa's design...

You can tell You Are Empty was chasing Half-Life 2 hard but the end result is basically BioShock Infinite with far better creature designs.

If you're going to play anything published by 1C Company at least make it Cryostasis.

Not to mention Men Of War, Perimeter, Necrovision: Lost Company, Death To Spies: Moment Of Truth and the Kings Bounty games. And uh...7.62 High Calibre. Okay maybe not the last one.

Love the movement/feel of this but wish it was in a "proper" game.

I dled this from itch yesterday and will definitely check it out today.

Has anyone played Visage? I played for about 15 minutes and loving hell my blood pressure couldn't take it. I'm guessing it only get more intense?

I still haven't gotten back to it. It's terrifying.

Daymare's portrayal of schizophrenia is so dumb. The game as a whole is pretty poor and edgelord as all hell. I liked the concept of playing one of these games as a merciless Umbrella type but yeesh...

Downpour's strength was sidequests. Still better than Origins and Shattered Memories though

You want bad? Countdown Vampires. That game had some interesting ideas but absolutely dreadful execution. It has gained a little following because of how odd/crappy some of the mechanics are.

I've heard it is (was?) repetitive. I'm gonna get that bundle though.

Visage is now complete and released. It does delete your old saves but considering the missing content in EA that's understandable.

Lost Hope is better than Man Of Medan so far. Not a feat though...

So far Village has captured everything I adored in the original The Evil Within in that it's basically an anthology of horror tropes with both scares and anime bombast but without the abject spite towards the player TEW has.

EW2 owns but it is definitely missing the bonkers of the first game.

I think I'm going to beat Echo Night this month. I just discovered that Overblood 2 exists so I'll be going through the first one as well.

I adore the first Manhunt up until guns are introduced. The sequel has some gnarly kills if you played the uncut version with the mod that stops the camera from moving around during the kill. It isn't good though. The twist is so obvious that I was surprised it was presented as one? It's not even the part where nobody acknowledges your buddy, or how he gets past all the enemies you have to take out to progress. It's the part where he disappears and then talks to you like he's in your ear, without a radio or any other way of remote communication...

Apparently the twist was added very late in development, which definitely tracks.

PS2 or PC?

PC for me. I know the PSP has an "uncut" version but I think the camera still flails around and there is some red filter lingering. PC was crystal clear.

Chinatown Wars is a dope game. I played through it on my 3ds last week and had a ball.

I am currently making my way through Silent Hill Origins on my vita and they just gave me a tv to beat enemies with. Does the mailman show up in this one?

EDIT: this trucker has a lucky quarter

There needs to be more games revolving around slashers that doesn't just involve hide and seek. Either you are one or being chased by one, doesn't matter.

I might check that out then since years of replaying Alone in the Dark have made tank controls second nature.

I was playing New Nightmare last week and I very much enjoyed myself. Great production values. One day I'll finally get through Inferno...

Nocturne (the 1999 PC game, not SMT3) is kicking my rear end. The werewolf forest was a loving nightmare.

You have any pro-tips to get this game working correctly?

There's a preinstalled abandonware version that works on Windows 10. I won't link because it might be :filez:

but you'll find it super quick with a search engine. If you want bells and whistles get Peixoto's patch.

This will help you https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Nocturne

Wow, I messed up enough that Blair Witch wouldn't even start, but then after reinstalling while still keeping the same dglvoodoo settings it just works great, runs butter smooth and no issues with the menus taking ages like in Nocturne.
Playing this as a fan of Nocturne, how much will I miss for not knowing anything about the Blair Witch?

I'd actually recommend watching the first movie first. It isn't long and it is, imo, still an interesting watch to this day. The last 15 minutes are especially memorable.

I liked Downpour. It was definitely trying to do something. Origins is the worst imo, because its supposed to be a prequel to the first and it absolutely botches that in every way. The first didn't need a goddamn prequel, especially one not done by the same team.

I hate his "natural" bullshit he does now. Also his Talion was so bad in Shadow Of War that I turned on the Italian dub.
