I've been doing a replay of the first four Silent Hill games: - Silent Hill 1, imo, hasn't aged as badly as other 3D games from that generation, yeah it has bad voice acting and some wonky rear end controls, but it's such a crazy weird romp and sets up the exploration standards well for the later entries -Silent Hill 2 is still very good. Beat it for the first time in about 8 or 9 years or so and used headphones and PCSX2 and there are so many audio things that I missed. reaching the resort and the first time you go up the stairs to the third floor to the old room, find the gate's locked, and you turn around and hear a faint "JAMES!" as you head back down holy poo poo I never caught that before  -Silent Hill 3 is also very good but ffffffffffffuck the subway section, this is the first time I wandered into the proper area to find a map because this game loves either sticking you with no map or putting them in weird places like the construction site (I cant even remember if there even is a map for it) looking forward to getting to Silent Hill 4 as I know it's super different in some not-good ways but I have only briefly played it years ago I was going to beat SH3 in one go saturday but I went in too deep with an edible and was tripping way too hard and I can't even imagine the bad trip I would have playing a game with flesh walls and mutated nightmares and endless darkness and all that poo poo shame the series is dead

Several years ago I was playing Silent Hill 1 on an emulator, and after a while I closed it to go about my business. For the next several hours I kept hearing small, weird sounds in my apartment and couldn't figure out what it was. Turns out, the emulator didn't close properly and was running invisibly in the background, playing light Silent Hill ambient noise the entire time. Thanks for spooking me, Silent Hill.

i think that's the one with the mission where you shoot up a ku klax klan meeting that got a lot of press at the time, other than that i don't think anyone remembers anything about it

The issue with mafia 3 is that you're forced to do repetitive missions to advance and like, you'd think that wouldn't be that hard to patch into something smoother.

Help Im Alive posted:They're putting Mafia 3 on PS+/is it good I dug the characters, and some of the basic gameplay mechanics are fun. It uses a grinding-side-activities-for-territory-control system out of a mid-2000s open world game for its progression, which might be a turnoff. Soundtrack is great though https://genius.com/mafia-iii-music

Is new No Man's Sky is actually good or did it just get Overton Window'd into looking good?

i asked that in the long lost july thread, from a million years ago, and the consensus seemed to be "if you wanted to like no man's sky but felt like the actual game was missing, this is the update that makes it the fully fledged game you were always hoping for. if you didn't like no man's sky because open world crafting games like that don't interest you, this update isn't going to change that"

I hadn't played it since the launch, but with the patch I'd say NMS is pretty good. However, it's still a heavily aimless survival game, so it really depends on how much you like that sort of thing. It could still stand to excise some 'survival' features but that's true of basically every game in the genre.

Gonna be honest with y'all: I love having a loud clicky keyboard. It's a thing I never really thought about but now that I have it, I never want to go back.

Yeah I wouldn't say No Man's Sky has no goals, but, like Minecraft, it has a metric fuckload of little mini-goals. I'm going to go mine carbon for 20 minutes so that I can expand my house, I'm going to look for ciphers so that I can understand this alien language better, I'm going to save up money so I can buy a new ship. It's the kind of game where you play it for 3 hours and constantly feel like you're working towards one thing or another but at the end of it you look back and realize you didn't really accomplish anything meaningful. Personally I like those kinds of games but I'm glad it's multiplayer now because that sort of repetitive gameplay is much more palatable when you're chatting with friends about the weird penis-creatures they discovered or whatever.

Are you rocking MX Cherry Blues? Browns? It enhances the feeling of punching deck for sure. Speaking of which, just got my zines and sealed envelopes for the EXAPUNKS Special edition. These are rad, so continuing the conversation from last month, Always Buy Special Editions of Games

one of my friends is super into survival/crafting/sandbox games whereas the rest of our group finds them the most pointless exercises in boredom imaginable so he’s always showing us screenshots of castles and bases and stuff he’s built and it feels almost exactly like an aunt showing you slides of their european vacation

Fancy keyboards and mice never mattered to me, but now I have glowy ones and every time they turn to bright red because I ripped aggro in FFXIV it means I loving win.

Mak0rz posted:This story makes NMS sound hella rad but it's probably something like one in ten thousand players will experience Nah its less something extremely rare and its more the only cool thing that can happen. Thousands of people will have basically this exact same experience. And once you have it, running into it again on another planet won't be all that cool. That perl and the sentinel response aren't procgen'd. They're a single pre-scripted event that likely occurs on tons of planets. Also it sounds cool but not much really happened. Anybody can take a mundane game experience and frame it like it was earth-shatteringly awesome if they really want to. Its like borderline fan fiction.

Still playing Octopath for a couple hours a night, though Captain Toad is now making an appearance and the sale of Burnout Paradise means I've played and will play that multiplayer some. Pretty good gaming so far for the month of August as of today.

Which is cool, but... also meh. Anything like finding eggs that spawn monsters is scripted.
