The enemy design alone kills Downpour for me, just those bland zombie/cenobite things. One's a bit skinnier, this one's fatter. Oh and there's a boss in a big coat and a giant in a wheelchair.

Any good LP's of Bloodbourne? I've been waiting for Matty Matosis to do one like his Dark/Demons playthroughs, well, more of a tour really. That's what I'm looking for. Someone who knows their poo poo, isn't annoying and shows it off well.

Tall order, I know.

Yeah I saw they had a crack at it, but it was a blind run I believe? I've been watching some VaatiVidya clips and was looking for someone who could dig into the lore and stuff as they went. Kinda similar to the way Chip Cheezum can do a MGS video and explain all the little things in the background as he's doing it, y'know?

I don't know if I'd call it a "death of the author" scenario because for all we know the devs DID sit there wringing their hands, cackling at how many feathers their new psycho killer was going to rustle. Or they may have genuinely believed they were producing a truly horrifying experience and pushing the boundaries of what they could get away with. It's sparked some great debate though so I'm thankful for that.

For what it's worth the scene was horrible to me because of the genital mutilation and not much else. The implications are there, sure. But beyond having my nards shredded?

I'm one hundred percent on the side of nothing being off limits when it comes to horror too. You don't always NEED to go 100% with it, but stopping people from going there just hurts the genre.

So as a straight dude who isn't bothered by seeing dicks or being scared of being threats of "making me a woman" have I proved your point?

drat, thread is moving fast.

I'd like that dude who modified the Silent Hill wiki to make all the articles about circumcision to weigh in on the Outlast dick-chat because I didn't see one uncut dick in there.

On top of all that, it is more about the person than the enforced subject matter. There isn't a bunch of gay sex going on, they aren't trying to do anything that direct, it's just a bunch of dudes with big ol' dicks running around. I had no issue with it because I'm into dudes, but a lot of people reacted very strongly to it not because the game is homophobic, but because they are. Gotta go over the top with the reaction or people might think you're gay, oh nooooooo.

A horror game causing a reflection of the person playing it? Why I never.

Being an single exception to a theory doesn't really prove or disprove the theory.

I think I'm missing things here. Genuinely. Not trying to come off as an rear end in a top hat, which is easy to do online, obviously. I wasn't around when Outlast dropped, I've not seen any of these kinds of reactions and now here I am, fumbling around in the dark trying to make sense of it all.

I also take issue with this specifically. If, as a writer, you can not only not write well with NO boundaries or limits, but you also can't be creative and interesting when there ARE clear lines you can't cross, you're a bad writer. Full stop, do not pass go, you are uncreative and uninteresting and have no imagination.

Oh yeah, without a doubt. But if someone like Clive Barker were to be told never to include sexual violence in his works then he'd be servings pints in a pub somewhere.

I should have guessed, really. Like Watchmen, when that came out all anyone could talk about was the giant blue dick.

Hahahaha. What a loving world we live in.

Make all monsters anatomically correct like Satan from the Dante's Inferno game.

Hahaha I was JUST going to post about that.

Also Piggsy from manhunt hangs dong, but it's done in a way that you'll only ever see it as a silhouette if there's light behind him.

Which makes it even crazier because now you have a haunted castle AND alien slime people all running around at once.

Like how in the same world where Patrick Bateman is running around you also have loving vampires.

I'm going to make a PSA here and say that if someone here got turned off by Outlast being too gory in an over the top kind of way, hoo boy is the second one going to pull no stops with that. Here's what happened in the demo: Walked through a literal big pile of dead babies and then got my dick chopped in half with a giant axe. So yeah. They uh, got their direction and they ain't touching the steering wheel.

Hahahahaha. Remember when I said something about maybe the devs were trying their best to make a good horror experience? Ah, the innocence of youth.

Christ, I picked up Uncanny Valley near enough a year ago to the day thanks to this thread. Onle of the puzzles didn't work with a controller and once I ended up under the facility trying to escape the game just freaked the gently caress out. Like most the doors led me back to the starting room and I inadvertently got the bad ending without knowing why.

Shame too, seemed like it had some chops but it just never clicked.

Someone posted this in the "Creepy Thread" in PYF.

A dude explored his water ruined house in Japan and its synced with the music from Siren. Full screen the walkthrough video if you want to experience Siren in VR and possibly do a little sick too.

edit: Holy poo poo, I never got more than like, 5 minutes into that video before being weirded out and closing it. I had no idea it was... Well, what it is. I think I'm in love.

I jumped when it revealed Grandfather in the bath.

And yeah, the girl who made it IS a loving nutter with the patience of a saint. Check out her profile, she did this massive art piece with fineliner pen that took half a year to do and then she burnt it.

loving a and then some. Exploding zombies are the dumbest dang thing and so overdone it's laughable. I lost like, two survivors in a row when playing ZombiU because up until that point it was kinda grounded and then suddenly zombies with rockets on their backs show up...
