At this price, I simply don’t understand this. I will pay $10 for 3 hours of howling laughter and watching friends get surprised and freaked out out any time. I won’t do that for a $50 game, but for a tenner? I’ll take a flyer any time

Just gave this a shot today and dang, this game is very fun. Even having some of the monsters spoiled for me it's still spooky as all hell, and incredibly tense.Enderzero posted:At this price, I simply don’t understand this.

One of the biggest strengths of this game is that the enemy AI is perfect for making spooky and/or funny moments happen even if you know exactly how all of them work. Brackens will still make people suddenly disappear, Coil Heads will still make you tense as hell, and Hoarding Bugs are just one of the funniest enemies I've seen in a game, I love them. I do wish there were creature-to-creature interactions though, it'd make them feel even more alive.

Going to spoiler this just incase: I can't recall the planet but it's one of the 'early' ones. I don't know if the game bugged out on us or something but while Mr Sensible stayed behind as mission control, us other three plebs went hiking across a lovely old rickety bridge -- CRASH! -- down we go. We found the Fire Exit (it's located at the base of the concrete bridge opposite the lovely one, which would otherwise lead to the regular entrance) and felt we had no choice but to try that instead. Anyway, we all pile in thinking 'metal walkways and industrial crap' as usual, only to be greeted by a some luxury mansion interior. Instantly spooked. Nothing good ever comes from these places in a horror game. Creep around looking out for the usual lurking Brackens and those loving things that drop onto your head if you don't pay attention, when there's this loud noise none of us recognise. I click on the flashlight and there's this busted-up Incredible Crash Dummy-looking motherfucker standing in a doorway about 10ft ahead, head on a 3ft spring. Completely motionless. Everyone just loving freezes not knowing what it is or what to do about it. Mission control says "oh that's a Coil Head, don't look away from it" and I howl down the microphone like I've just stapled my nuts to the chair, because not only am I alone in seeing this thing with no idea how to get back to the door without breaking visual contact, but everyone else has audibly hosed off back to the planet surface. You know who your friends are... I wish I'd screenshotted it but by the time I found the door by backing away slowly, Crash Dummy was within spitting distance and I was barely able to look toward the door enough and escape without him springing (hurrr) into action. It was also 8PM outside

Everyone else thinks that the person being haunted is making it up, because they can't see anything even though the guy is saying "it's right THERE", and it ends with the haunted person's head exploding all of a sudden. Seriously the best experience in the game.

There's a visual effect that happens if you see a crewmate die, does that do anything or is it just to imply that the person inside the suit's freaking out?

Had a pretty good session today. Had a bit on March where I got narrowly munched by a head crab, made a tricky jump to the exit, stepped out in March and died due to quicksand. A++ would die again.

Never realised that corpses can actually be sold for 5 each, but you have to kill the people at Company. Are you 15 dollars or less behind on quota and have a shovel? Let the battle royale begin!

Wow I loving hate these things and they are absolutely loving bugged in co-op. This POS was a fair bit up the hallway but decided to just turn around and do some quickstep shuffle horseshit in my direction for a moment as my bud passed by. Never mind the fact that I was looking straight at him to, you know, stop him from loving moving?  Not pictured: A second one of these game-ending dickholes lurking just behind the "star" of the photo, and a third which had turbo-dashed his way up to the party and stopped right behind me. And these things are supposed to be a rare monster? Fuuuuuuck off. Mission control zapped me and my bud the gently caress out of there because it was just not going to end well. Unfortunately for us the time was closing on 10PM so collecting any scrap from outside the main door wasn't even remotely possible; as a result all three of us got blown out into space.

ZogrimAteMyHamster posted:Wow I loving hate these things Dunno if it's relevant to your situation, but it seems to me that they only care if you can see a very certain position inside the center of their collider, which means that if there's something like a railing covering their torso at just the right position, they will be able to freely move along the railing so long as it covers that position as they move along it. This means that they will outright chase people down catwalks even if someone's looking at them from the side of/below the catwalk.

As we were leaving the mansion type location on Rend I checked everyone was able to come out. 1, 2, 3, 4... wait, who's that fourth one? And what's that mask? Umm... everyone run! Barely made it to the ship, constantly hearing footsteps somewhere behind me. Nothing could go through the entrance doors before. The fact that they look friendly on the ship screen is really "fun", too.

I turned around and saw the shuffle behind a bookcase, said "yo, i can see you, rear end in a top hat". It charged at me. I killed it, there was more. I did not kill them. Also, there's a bug with the new enemy. my body got teleported back, but it had been mask'd so it attacked the people in the ship. They dealt with it, but then tried to teleport me back again by accident. On the death cam, I saw myself teleport in, but they couldn't see it, so it hung around for a bit and then instakilled someone who couldn't actually see it

Barely made it to the ship, constantly hearing footsteps somewhere behind me. The mask is hilarious. We were all dicking around the ship before leaving and one of us threw it on. We were all pointing and laughing at him until he grabbed one of us and starting spewing blood out of his mouth. We all nope'd the gently caress out and started the ship, leaving them behind.

tbh the only thing I don't like about that new enemy is the instantkill. They seem to occasionally just walk through shovel hits and not give a poo poo, but other times they'll get knocked back. It's a little inconsistent.

I think a fast acting teammate can wack them like a snare flea to save you, since the instant kill takes a moment to happen. At least I think that's what I saw.

since ive never had a phobia i cant really just map it onto a spectrum of 0-10 scared, with 0 being unaware and 10 being in perfect terror, but i feel like if a scary video game could get me above a 3 id just set it to 10 because thats the kind of experience im looking for in that game i dont want to minimize phobias i guess but it still sorta strikes me as odd in an actual horror game. a game like grounded or whatever i get

phobic reactions aren’t the fun kind of scary by most accounts. you don’t want to have a panic attack in the middle of watching/playing something, if only because it’s very impolite towards anyone else in the room

My god, when this game is good, it is goooood. Had a really good crew. 3 of us onsite, 1 in the ship. In one of the industrial rooms with a long void in it, we got trapped in a long dead end protected by a landmine by a slow blob and an oncoming thumper. I knew what I had to do; we had met quota and they had some good scrap. So when the blob and thumper crossed the land mine I ran and took a bullet for the team. But the thumper…kept making noise. No movement. But a low, thunderous sound. My teammates, understandably, were nervous and circled the beast. Suddenly it stood up, seemingly restored to full power and proceeded to eat their asses. The lone survivor took off, preserving our precious credits
