I can't explain why, but I've beaten Silent Hill 2... And can't play Majora's Mask because I get too creeped out. Game seriously taps into something that really effects me, a sense of young innocence twisted by an undercurrent of evil. I guess Earthbound does the same thing to some people.

This thread is really starting to remind me that Majora's Mask is one of those games i've always wanted to play.  I really need to find a cheap Gamecube and the Zelda collection or whatever for it someday.

I played the GC collector edition and it was fine. This was a couple years ago though so I might have forgotten.

Jetsetlemming posted:You seriously cannot wrap your head around the concept that other people take scary stuff differently from you? Lots of people, myself included, got to the point of feeling actually stressed out by Amnesia and how oppressively afraid of every single little thing it makes you. It's not like anyone's thinking the shadow monsters are going to get them IRL. Scary stuff can make people really scared, and not just thrilled. Obviously this is news to you, the bravest person on earth, the Goon Who Showed No Fear. But other people are, perhaps, different. We're all very wowed by you and your amazing abilities, but not everyone is so closed to the possibility of actually responding in the intended manner to something scary. Haha when did I say I had no fear?

Yeah, for some reason everyone keeps saying the Collector's Edition Majora's Mask is riddled with bugs, but I never encountered a single one in my playthrough (got all the masks, too). I heard it may have something to do with rumble in the GC controller, and I used a Wavebird so it didn't effect me.

ChuckDHead posted:Someone graduated from the Lovecraft school of horror. Hahaha, yes. Nearly all of the authors of these stories just can't let their stories stand on their own. They always go too far in the end, explaining how terrified they are or how there was a picture of their family. I guess subtlety is too much to ask for people who write video game horror. Slight aside, but Lovecraft wrote a story where he made fun of this part of his writing style. http://www.hplovecraft.com/writings/texts/fiction/u.asp

Jetsetlemming posted:I won't directly respond to that but I will say that a couple of night ago I went to take out the trash at night, and when I opened my back door there was a big possum out there on the back porch railing, bigger than a cat, just staring at me. Not hissing or acting aggressive or scared or anything. Looked expectant, like I was gonna let him in. Freaked me out a little. I decided to put off taking out the trash till morning. Possums own but possums are not a video game, hoax or urban legend

SheepNameKiller posted:Just read about this, pretty crazy concept, did it suck or something? Why did this never really catch on? Majestic was awesome. I remember being a part of it and it had some really cool ideas, and getting random calls and e-mails and IMs was fun as hell. But from what I recall, content was eventually slow to be released. So you'd end up with nothing to do for a long time. So the people you were working with would lose interest or lag behind you, or you'd lag behind them. So that sort of messed everything up. Then it got too expensive to continue. But man, I really really liked it. I wish they'd do something along those lines as well. Sort of like a guided, more interactive and personalized ARG.

Digging this thread. I didn't care for the Majora's Mask videos/story, but I think that's because I never played it. If you don't have a frame of reference for how the game is supposed to play, it's not all that disturbing because it's not really clear what's different. Obviously the music is weird and the dialogue is messed up, and it goes for a few cheap "gotcha!" scares, but if you're not familiar with the source material it just looks like a game glitching out like crazy. It is pretty cool that it doesn't look super fake, though. Not an urban legend, but one of my favorite weird moments in gaming was in MGS 2 when Colonel Campbell tells you to turn off your PS2. Because MGS had you switch your controller port up for Psycho Mantis, I was already up and reaching for the power switch before I realized what I was doing. KOJIMA!

This would make an awesome LP, especially if it's some game people grew up with. Starting off with missing textures like the Zelda guy is a nice step, and then some normal glitches until poo poo starts going real. This also reminds me of the Everyman Hybrid show on youtube, which starts off as a fitness programme with a fake slenderman shot in the background of every video until it turns out some genuine monster is stalking them and screwing up their lives.

Sorry guys, the Majora's Mask thing was really lame and relied on stupid jump scare tactics too much. You'd think a guy that good at ROM hacking would make something good instead of a lovely "creepypasta" video. I also really, really hate that word. I'm really hoping for more stuff like Killswitch and Polybius, or long time rumors about games that were never proved/disproved, instead of "MARIO 64 SHOWED PICTURES OF MY DYING FAMILY!" 4Chan has really ran this crap into the ground. edit: Someone make a Slenderman game were the entire goal is to stand behind trees and be partially visible while some idiot shoots some amateur camera footage. That's literally all Slenderman does. He stands behind things. SpaceBees fucked around with this message at 05:38 on Sep 11, 2010 |
