I think the resident evil approach is mostly fine, savepoints are still relatively plentiful and deaths are sparse and usually heavily telegraphed. with how short those oldschool horror games tend to be overall you're likely not going to be spending any more time on them than any other single player campaign out there. games being as efficient and painless as possible is a good general rule but there's some novelty to be had outside of that, looking at sections more comprehensively and having to consider risk. Should there be a tempsave feature that separates the in game logic of ribbon checkpoints and the program being turned off to attend to real life poo poo? yes, absolutely.

feedmyleg posted:Are there any horror games that feel like artsy-yet-schlocky Italian horror cinema? Like if I wanted to play something with a Suspiria vibe. Indie posterboy Puppet Combo definitely dabbles in that a bit aside from his more typical vhs grindhouse shtick, The Glass Staircase and Nun Massacre come to mind though be warned actually playing them is kinda rough. idontpost69 fucked around with this message at 11:52 on Aug 27, 2023 |

I had a similar experience but with the VR version of AI, I would need to psyche myself up just to leave the pause screen early in the game. A game can still make me uneasy but nothing will make me nope out and alt+f4 anymore after experiencing that.

here's a hint for your playthrough, make sure you've completed everything in an area before you cross a bridge.

I ask about the ending because it's weirdly easy to fail that kaufman quest with an untelegraphed point of no return. so many people probably got locked into that downer just a dream ending for crossing a bridge fully intending to go back and complete the quest.

does alan wake 2 do anything to change up the shadow workman enemy type? for as much as I'm fond of the original game that particular monster/entity design just fell completely flat for me, was never creeped out or intrigued once.

how much meat is there to the non combat gameplay? are you combing locations solving puzzles and navigating or are you just kind of going through story sequences?

Sam Lake 2 seems like a nice little game but excessive quirkiness, boring enemy design, and an undeserved crossover shared universe, that's 3 strikes for me. Maybe I'll pick it up in a steam sale in a couple years.

I'm still just in awe of them going with the title 'Townfall', literally the most hack naming convention possible.

was the bit with Harry being on the razor's edge of killing Heather as a baby weird for anyone else or did I just not get it?

I will say that I really like the way 3 executed Harry's death, they make it real for the player by denying you the fan service reunion you'd been anticipating the entire first half of the game, 99 games out of 100 have heather holding Harry's head as he gasps out "Heather remember...remember the water bottle."

I always give credit to a game that can conceive of a premise other than killing though I suppose you're technically killing fire.

how do you let your main running animation be that bad? they couldn't pay someone a day of animation work to get something that looks passable?

videogames give kojima so much leeway in pacing and content that I can't imagine he'd be satisfied with the relative strictness of a feature length film. In a game at any time he can put up an overlay and deliver a twenty minute dialogue scene no matter how trivial the subject matter and have the only cost be paying a voice actor.

One thought I had towards the end of re4r is that there is a kind of latent novelty to 6th gen action spectacle that was lost in the 7th and 8th gen. I was never the biggest fan of the island in the original but I still found it neat in a way, I had zero enthusiasm for the equivalent in 2023.

my last rentals were tv seasons, there was still a sliver of practicality there that hadn't been negated by prime having virtually every mainstream movie release for 3.99.

"It's got ARG elements going on, so a hint here and there might be needed as some of these puzzles are pretty drat obtuse" this is dissuading me a bit. Is it still feasible to play it like a normal game?
