Too Shy Guy posted:I'll be honest, I wasn't sold on the voice acting at first. It's a big deal for Gabriel Knight; even without playing any of the originals myself I was aware that the cast was remarkable. Whereas OG Gabriel was voiced by Tim Curry, remake Gabriel is someone I've never heard of, who effects a ridiculously thick Louisiana accent for every line. But it wasn't long before he and the rest of the cast grew on me, assisted by the excellent script. Grace gets some vicious burns on Gabe throughout the game, Mosely pals around like a dopey high-schooler, and even some of the minor characters like Hartridge get incredibly memorable lines. The original Mosley was voiced by Mark Hamill, also Michael Dorn as Dr John. It's a shame that they recast, really.

DeathChicken posted:I have a bug to play another game along the lines of Until Dawn (there are several characters, there's a mystery to solve, things can go differently depending on how badly you gently caress up and get everyone killed). Suggestions? That does pretty much describe all of David Cage's games, down to the abundance of quick time events. (Except David Cage isn't being ironic about the cheesy writing)

Yardbomb posted:Really what makes me sad about the sewer in Bloodlines is that they could/should have made it spooky, read some of the clan books and junk for oWoD vampire and it talks about nosferatu having the tunnels to their hangouts all messed up and trapped and stuff like that, unless you're one of them they wanna scare your rear end off or kill you, that or at best make you really swim through that sewage and grime to find their club. The dumb thing is that the end of the sewer section you get to the Nosferatu warrens which is infinitely more detailed and unique. All they needed to do was make it bigger in the same style.

A.o.D. posted:Has it already been discussed in this thread that Creative Assembly's next game might be Alien: Isolation 2? I really hope so, they nailed that game in so many ways. Tired Moritz posted:outlast 2 sounds really bad lol While it is edgy as gently caress, it really does get the blood pumping in it's chases, which if you're looking for that kinda thing it does do well. But yeah, so loving edgy. Much like Agony, which has been discussed above, it's trying so hard to be shocking an edgy that it just comes across as quaint and mundane because of oversaturation.

Relin posted:i wasn't aware there was an over saturation of sexually violent games that have been released recently Not really, I mean inside the game itself. In Agony's case, when every room is made up of flesh and blood and everything is some kinda of deformed teethvagina demon, it all blends together and becomes quite mundane and same-y. There's no subtlety and with nothing to contrast the gore and repulsive stuff against, it just ends up feeling less shocking than they're going for.

Bogart posted:I'm morbidly interested in Scorn and Agony. They're at least going for something far off from the normal Spooky Asylum or Bad Ship. Agony released a demo to Kickstarter backers which is all over YouTube if you want more of a look at it. Personally I just found it too edgy and trying too hard to be gross that it just seemed comical. Scorn at least seems more grotesque and abstract in a Beksinski style so is still on my radar though.

Safari Disco Lion posted:There was just most of a page of people circle-jerking about how "cliche" Scorn is and how it's going to be disappointing and bad. I read that and thought there was some really crap new trailer or interview or something, yet I can't find a drat thing except 2 screenshots from May on the Scorn facebook page, so how these discussions are going is loving beyond me. In my case it's because I don't want it to end up like Agony, so I'm a little worried that it'll be a one-note edgefest too. Here's hoping it's not though, I love the Giger / Beksinski influence.

anime tupac posted:I keep buying cheap horror games (or downloading free horror games) and then never playing them, but I may rectify that tonight. Does anyone recommend any of these in particular? Right now I'm prioritizing scary/creepy over good. I would hit up Penumbra: Overture and Penumbra: Black Plague first, they're the precursors to Amnesia, awesome games. Requiem is a bit of a poo poo puzzle game and I don't think really added anything. Sylvio after that is an excellent variation on horror games, while a bit buggy and rough around the edges, it's definitely interesting. There's a remake of that one coming afaik. Oxenfree I've heard good things, but I haven't gotten around to playing it myself.

s.i.r.e. posted:I did miss some of the runes so I'll have to go back and get them for the last achievement and apparently getting them all gets you some extra stuff during the ending. Without spoilers (I'm currently near the end of the trials, so not finished yet) is there any easy way to go back and get ones you missed? I've missed 1 rune and I'm nearing the end of having all of them (Maybe 8-10 remaining runes in total). It's literally killing me when I see a new rune and having that one red rune back from somewhere in the early game.

exquisite tea posted:I'm not sure if this will work but you can backup your current save, move it to another folder, and then quickly play through to get the last lorestone since your progress carries over from game to game. It looks like you're missing a rune from Surt's area. I'd already completed the game. But you're right that the runes persist, so I've now got the achievement unlocked at least. Will just take a look at youtube for what I missed. Edit: Ok, so even having 1 runestone missing I still got that secret cutscene where Druth talks to you in the portal, and takes off his hat and stuff, before you step through.

1stGear posted:This looks interesting. This actually looks super good. There’s mention that it was playable at PAX and some other smaller cons, will see if I can dig up some impressions of it. Edit: spoilers for what’s in the pax demo https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/8ol1rw/comment/e0740ef?st=JI3HADTE&sh=54870b0b quote:I played this game at Pax East. Unsure where I was in the demo, but it controls exactly like resident evil 2, similar UI and similar way of looking at points of interest. When a point of interest is nearby, there's sort of bracket crosshairs that zoom in on it. When you look at a point of interest, sometimes its in a first person view like with a puzzle, pushing levers or something. In the demo, I made my way out of a crashed ship. The crew was dead, I played as the girl in the trailer who is an android of some type. After making my way out of the ship I wandered a few screens and there was a cave, so I crawled down into it and inside it had a radio, a desk, a bookshelf, like some sort of secret base or something but with a old timey vibe to it. On the desk was the book "The King in Yellow". I took the book, and then the screen started freaking out (I guess I read the book?) and there was a lot of flickering with words scrawled across the screen. Then, there seemed to be a lot of programming errors and the "system" shut down. Piss Witch fucked around with this message at 20:04 on Jun 6, 2018 |

I’m still very early in so I’m trying to decipher how much is just trying to be edgy as gently caress and how much is genuinely quite creepy, but the art style and the weird amount of depth to things are what drew me in. There’s quite a lot of dingdongs too which is a plus.

Old Boot posted:So what's with the 'have makeout sesh with what is obviously a child to appease some random deity' thing, then. Is that a legitimate option. 'Cause that moves it from 'edgy' to 'call the police' territory in a hurry, and I'm seriously not interested in paying realdollars for a copy if that kind of pedobait bullshit is included. The sexual violence warning is already treading on extremely bullshit ground for me personally. I haven't seen that part of the game, and loving yikes.

So I was expecting something. As far as the stuff I've seen in what I've played so far, it's the stuff like:
Like, with what I've seen so far, it's pretty edgy but not massively so, at least in a "let's just be dumb and offensive as possible" type way, but if there is stuff like what posters before said, then urgh.

You can’t have sex with the girl, the marriage “option” has to be consensual, which I think only your Ghoul can do. The rest is true though, I dropped playing that game and got on the REmake 2 train and never looked back. God REmake 2 is great.

I was expecting creepy weirdness and surreal horror, not standard first-person youtube-bait horror. It's not my kinda game to play, though I'll happily be watching John Wolfe play through it. And yeah, it does seem like a good quality game, and not necessarily bad, just not my thing.
