SkeletonHero posted:There's always Silent Hill 2: Enhanced Edition, an excellent fanmod that brings the PC version up to modern standard. You will of course have to use the legitimate copy of Silent Hill 2 PC that you already have at home but the mod itself is free and painless to install and currently the best way to play the game. Post Ironic Cereal posted:Can vouch for Enhanced Edition. Runs beautifully on my PC and looks/sounds fantastic, especially for its age. I tell people about this all the time, it's really a true remaster of the OG. I don't even feel bad if they need to get the discs less than legitimate ways because there is no legitimate way to get them (The HD version is terrible). It's a true fan project that they have invested a ton of time in. I really, really recommend it - even if the remake is decent, I really can't see it being better than the E.E.

Hel posted:It's fine and there's a secondary costume you start with that's way less horny, and outside of the start I haven't seen anything on that level. That said I did stop playing it because the ink ribbon saving meant I kept losing tons of progress because they are really sparse, they honestly should have just kept to the save rooms as rather only limitation. Yeah I really want to enjoy it but I missed the first save room and died with around an hour and a half of progress and didn't want to start fresh again. It's definitely challenging like original RE1 with save resources, ain't nobody got time for that these days

Professor Wayne posted:I remember the limited saves ending up not being a big deal. It's mostly a puzzle game. If you remember the solutions, you can catch up to where you died quickly enough. I ended up beating the game with several saves left, but I tend to play those kind of games super safe. I think what got me was that I usually try to conserve ammo and either run around enemies or melee them in survival horror and the first enemy I ran across killed me because I didn't even realize I was taking damage.

I never played through Silent Hill: Origins and feel like doing that. I've read that the PSP version is superior to the PS2 version (which I actually own). But I'll likely play it via emulation - are the shortcomings of the PS2 version overcome with the enhancements that PCSX2 can do to games graphically?

man nurse posted:Is Tormented Souls good? I bought it for a fiver on PS5 and enjoy the games it claims to crib from, but haven’t fired it up yet. I seem to remember hearing not bad things which is why I picked it up. It's definitely an old school survival horror game. The save system broke me when I played, missed the first one and lost a bunch of time. Haven't gone back, but I do like the lore and the play of it.

The first half of 4 I really enjoy. The ambiance and general theme of the ghosts is pretty great. The second half is where it gets frustrating Lord I hate escort missions, and through the same exact levels? eff that. I do like the unique ghosts that are introduced in the second half, did add a different element of danger, having the constant oppressive force that you can't kill.

If I had paid full price for it I probably would have been a little miffed. There's not much to the game. Yeah I think a lot of the negative reaction is to it being not enough game for $60. If it had been released as "Resident Evil 2.5 - Nemesis" for $30 it would probably be much higher rated

TheWorldsaStage posted:Right now Konami is throwing stuff at a wall with Silent Hill and I'm optimistic. They didn't make bad choices for devs to give the IP a shot in these directions really. I know people don't like Blooper writing, but the artists are great and Konami has them on a leash so Yeah I've got my fingers crossed that Silent Hill 2 is basically a carbon copy script with updated graphics. But I'm not getting my hopes up too much. Either way...it's better than just getting Silent Hill Skateboards and Pachinko machines.

al-azad posted:Appalled at how weak the weapons are in RE0. Headshots with the good shotgun are like a 50/50 for a headshot and grenades are just like punching things really hard for how effective they are. Why does it take 2 grenades to kill a giant roach?? I decided to play through the RE games I never touched in 2020 (I'd only played RE1 and RE2), and I decided to just say gently caress it and cheat with RE5 and RE0. Playing them on PC with mods for infinite ammo made them more of an interactive movie with puzzles which is all I wanted. woodenchicken posted:So BigPEmu emulator for Atari Jaguar just released, and that means Alien VS Predator (1994) is now available in perfect emulation. Some will say "why would you want to inflict that upon yourself?", but seeing that game blew my mind when I was a stupid kid who couldn't even afford a Megadrive, so I intend to get closure on that. Five minutes of rebinding buttons to Dualshock 4 in a sane scheme, and you can start playing it rather comfortably. What's the difference between that and the arcade version? I know we've played that a ton on my arcade cabinet. Never mind, forgot AvP on Jaguar was a FPS Medullah fucked around with this message at 13:30 on Dec 27, 2022 |

It's 75% off on Steam right now, that's nice! But I'd prefer to play it on the big screen on a console so let's see how much it's on the PlayStation. 40 bucks, full price. OK how about the Xbox? 40 bucks, full price. It goes on sale all the time, it'll be $15 sometime in the next 60 days

CuddleCryptid posted:There's a lot of challenges and unlockables that require multiple playthroughs, and there is definitely a built in focus on speed running levels Yeah I've played through RE3r a bunch of times. I actually almost prefer it as a quick replay over RE2 because of how straight forward it is. But I was also the weird kid in the 90s who played through RE1 and RE2 multiple times a week speed running them.

Bumhead posted:RE7 doesn't need the credit or acclaim of revitalising the wider horror genre. All it needed to do was get Resident Evil back on track. RE7 pulled me back in to RE big time. I'm a big fan of exploration and puzzles and not so much action, RE4 honestly turned me off initially because it was too linear and shooter like . 5 I bounced off of immediately and neer touched any of the others. Got RE7 on sale one night and a friend and I started playing it at midnight one night and I was hooked. I love the RE2 remake and the originals, but I think 7 just nails the atmosphere I love, it's my favorite in the series. Even 8 is a bit too action focused for me, but I enjoyed it.

Bumhead posted:7 is right up there for me too, and I actually quite enjoy re-playing it which I believe is usually one of the knocks against it, as many seem to regard it as a one-and-done thing. I think it's the closest RE to the vibe of the first game. Yeah I've replayed it at least 5 or 6 times. It's like watching a great movie repeatedly. Of course it makes it easier to just play and enjoy the story again after you unlock infinite ammo

The biggest problem with DBDs lore is that it's not easy to see it. All of the lore and stories are locked behind challenges that normal people who don't spend 1000+ hours will never be able to see without YouTube/wikis.

Read After Burning posted:I really want to get into Dead By Daylight, but these types of games (DBD, Overwatch, etc) always seem like such time commitments. Agent Escalus posted:I wouldn't say either of them are time commitments per se; Overwatch certainly isn't with no character progress or any advancement in the game, just round after round. DBD is pretty much the same except there IS some progression with skills and stats etc. but each round isn't slow or boring no matter which side you're on. You'll be doing plenty of stabbing and slashing in no time and each round can only go on for so long before either all survivors are hooked and sacrificed (the only way the killer wins), or some of them manage to escape (the only way any of them can win). The grind is significantly less than it was a year ago, but there IS a grind in Dead By Daylight if you want all of the meta perks. You get 10k-40k bloodpoints per match, which is the perk currency, and it takes about a million per tier to unlock each characters 3 unique perks, which is generally 1 good one and 2 mediocre to bad ones. It's tough to do starting from scratch, but it's not nearly as bad as it was before the change, where you had to unlock the perks and then unlock them on each individual character. I was playing about 10-15 hours a week and barely keeping up with the releases.

Read After Burning posted:Thank you, friends! I didn't even consider, like, character progression...I was more thinking of "putting in time to properly learn the rules and mechanics so you don't get yelled at by the other players for ruining their game". For practicing killer you can play against bots, but not Survivor. But realistically survivor is really simple to grasp the basics, especially if you have a friend. You can PM me if you want to know more, there's a DBD thread but I can point you to the basics Edit - Or message me on Discord, I am medullah there too now that the name change thing happened

For example, back when I tried to play TF2, there was no real single-player and/or practice mode, so just jumping straight into Vs mode was very intimidating. 99% of my gaming is single-player, and the other 1% is co-op stuff with my partner.
