rules:
- play past the tutorial and pretend it didn't happen unless it was super rad like saint's row the third's so you don't get bored before finishing it like most people who start games do

i'm playing FEAR 2 and it has had one really good jump scare that was just alma casually standing behind me somewhere where it was a natural instinct to back up and turn around. gunplay is pretty good but everyone uses submachine guns. dudes take like 3 headshots to take down with the SMG but sometimes there is a dude running around with a nuclear flamethrower (?!) and you can shoot him so hard he explodes in half

the atmosphere is pretty good but alma is not done all that well and it would have been nice if she had turned out to not be evil as hell but still creepy as gently caress. i was gonna say friendly but she turned out to be a bit too friendly from what I remember about Fear 3. alma is also like, around so often it's like an escort quest with an invisible friend

the controls are wonky as poo poo and unpleasant

verdict: probably not gonna keep playing

edit: dang, i forgot my mandatory poll AND a tag

weird op i got fear 2 too
although gently caress playing it since it's basically garbage

you don't have to use the randomizer thing, it is also okay to just pick a game you have been meaning to play

if fear 2's controls weren't so loving terrible and alma wasn't so cliched it'd probably be worth playing but they managed to turn the shotgun into a torso removal tool in fear 1 to a plinky piece of poo poo in fear 2 and i will not stand for such an insult

also the ai blows chunks now and basically every reason to play it is gone. fear 2 was actually my first experience of getting mad at videogames, it holds a special place in my heart

historically accurate

it takes a while to get used to the ui- mouse over everything and then right click it just to be sure. you can usually get all the info you want but it's not obvious where it is.

play 1 and 3, it has that syndrome where the first and third games own but the second makes too many bad decisions

maybe it doesn't but in an hour it didn't convince me otherwise, the second I shot the shotgun I was like nope

nope fear 2 was garbage except the ending was kinda hosed up in a good way

fear 3 was basically dumb as gently caress and not scary at all but it was at least kinda fun to play

fear 3 has no tension but it has paranormal weird poo poo for you to shoot (possibly with your mind if you play as Paxton 'Dead Guy from 1' Fettel) and both characters are fun.

there are tiny walker mechs you can hijack.

this is unrelated to steam so im sorry for asking here but dead space 3 was free on ps plus this month and i heard the weapon creation was cool but is it true that they basically even stopped pretending it was a horror game?

Doctor Goat
Jan 22, 2005

Where does it hurt?
oh hell yes, it can still startle you if you get overwhelmed but for a good part of the game me and my friend were running around with contact beams fist bumping and making a profit on ammo drops because the contact beam doesn't use as much ammo as you get

the version of the pack in 3 is supposed to be infinite i think but we just punched through. the immortal necromorph dudes got stasised and shotgunned apart repeatedly. pregnants get shot with the force gun slotted with electricity or fire because you can put those on any gun. there's a bouncy version of the line gun that oneshots anything

by the end of the game you can pick up and throw living necromorphs because you stand on pads that power up your stasis to "yeah it's just not moving anymore" and kinesis to gordon freeman's white gravity gun

I once audiosurfed a 30 minute moonsorrow song, good times

does beat hazard use your own music or do you have to download poo poo?

beat hazard uses any music you got but everything is the same color which makes intense songs annoying if you play on high intensity (which should be the default)

if shots had less corona it'd be way way better.

unlike audiosurf it also really doesn't handle songs that are quiet well.

The rest of the game isn't as fun as the first level. Like the game looks cool and all but the levels don't encourage experimenting with the tools. Just go here cut this push that block to advance. Just dick around in the first level and forget about it.

I don't have it on Steam but I played through the first parts of Resonance. I like the interface for the game but it's so loving clunky to click on poo poo onscreen and it takes forever for the character to perform the action. As far as adventure game bullshit it's not too terrible early on even though the first puzzle is realizing that your phone is ringing.

Super Panda Adventures is a lovely platformer that's really ugly and is not fun to play. even on easy mode most enemies take 6 or more hits to die and it's boring. i fought a boss that was a robot slime. i got this game in a bundle and i can't recommend paying any more than $0.25 for it

Maybe they don't encourage experimenting but if you think there's only one way to get through most levels you're wrong as gently caress

that game also is really buggy the further into it you get because the developer pretty much abandoned it i think
