Glazius posted:Yeah, it is a pretty neat touch that your flashlight goes out when you reload. Actually, Cry of Fear'll do you one better. You can't reload while dual-wielding. You have to switch to just the handgun, reload, then switch back to phone and gun. Maybe they couldn't figure out how to force an equip switch or something? Or maybe they just liked that it was kind of annoying. Doom 3 didn't even tempt you with the option and Left 4 Dead just had the flashlight swing around so, while it wasn't pointed straight ahead, it was still somewhat useful. We'll see something in a few episodes that makes me think they wanted it to be a hassle. Because that's what made Silent Hill scary right? It being frustrating to control? chitoryu12 posted:Unfortunately, the backtracking and limited inventory (combined with the lack of respawning enemies to present a constant threat) make it annoying. It also could have been better if some enemies wouldn't spawn until you entered and exited a room. But even that probably wouldn't work in a place as small as the school. The apartment kind of did that if you got way more lost than I did (which is probably bound to happen because of how confusing the place is).

Don't worry, I know nobody's been posting because you've all been holding your breath for more Cry of Fear. I understand. I held out on everyone because it's a special double update this time! Part 8 - Into the (Literal) Darkness Part 9 - Into the Past Again [Contains references of pedophilia (again, because I'm dumb)] Oh yeah, episode 9 has what I was talking about on the flashlight issue, if anyone cared. chocolatekake fucked around with this message at 14:44 on Apr 23, 2016 |

chocolatekake posted:Simon has the flashback about confessing his feelings for Sophie after they just had a long conversation that made it seem like that didn't actually happen. A week late, but personally I love that flashback. At most charitable, Sophie is mildly annoyed at Simon for bothering her and blathering semi-coherently about his feelings, and it's just silly. Most certainly not the intended reaction, but hey. Also, it's nice to see that key stayed where you put it. I rewatched Mr. Sunabouzu's LP of this game not too long ago and I remember items he tried to drop somewhere for later kept despawning on him all the time. Like one time he put a weapon down to dig some poo poo up with a shovel, and not five minutes later it was gone. It's part of why I didn't bother playing much more than ten minutes of this myself, I didn't want to have to deal with that.

I just noticed that when Simon is dual-wielding the Glock and phone, they just mirrored the Glock so it's suddenly a left-handed gun instead of going to the effort of properly modeling it.

Oh wow, I've never paid enough attention to see that. How perfect. I spent about 10 minutes editing the sound in this for a dumb joke that you can hardly hear because the game loving glitched.

Croccers posted:Nearly all AAA FPS games do this too though so Yeah, I noticed it too but I'm more surprised when a dev team does properly model the gun in the left hand. One other thing I did notice, though, is that the tactical light also disappears if you combine the Glock and the phone after picking that up and putting it on.

Croccers posted:Nearly all AAA FPS games do this too though so A lot of games model guns as left-handed because of Counter-Strike, but that's been fading away. Nowadays I think most of the "sins" are things like Modern Warfare 2 just mirroring the M4's texture so both sides are identical because they were too lazy to even make a proper model of a gun for their big budget shooter.

Unrelated to the gun thing, it's almost sad in a way when you see something good in Cry of Fear. Like the dark forest and the enemies that start panting just before they reach you are legitimately creepy and worlds ahead of the jump scares and hordes of gun-wielding enemies seen in the subway. But every bit of good horror is crammed into bad game design.

Today myself and a buddy of mine start our co-op adventure as orcs bent on stopping humans and their foul pollution... well not really. We actually start off on the run. Welcome to a terrible game that has a somewhat ok premise but is botched in execution. In this episode we learn that that everything in this game has framerate issues.

But every bit of good horror is crammed into bad game design. I think it'd be much better if they weren't bugged to only sometimes make noise when they're near you. But yes, I had similar issues. The only negative Steam review I've ever posted because I hated the game so much and wanted to warn people if I could, posted:Some of the actually creepy parts are pretty cool, but it was a chore playing through the rest of the game just to get to those moments, which are few and far between.  Only 1 episode left after this one, so look forward to Saturday. But don't fret, it'll be a pretty big update!About 4 minutes in I give a volume warning, but it ended up being sort of unnecessary because I inadvertently fixed the problem (mostly). Also I didn't want to actually hurt people's ears. But believe me, that whole section is WAY too loud at normal volume. At least in contrast to the rest of the game because what is audio leveling?

I recently found out that Cry of Fear has a co-op mode, plus DLC/expansions like The Doctor's Story. It's kind of incredible how popular this game is.

I guess they can't all be winners. Oh, I just assumed you were Scandinavian since you spell cake with a K and subtitle your videos to spare us your accent. Yes, the most common one that's on every bus shed and has the old image macro/meme look with white impact text over a rabbit with a superimposed heart is "Rabbits - everyone loves rabbits". Seems like they thought it would become a meme for sure, like that cake thing from postal.  I'd gladly translate if you found some textures or anything, but I'm warning you... They're really REALLY stupid and you will be embarrassed on behalf of the adult people who actually thought they were funny, or even prefereable to just Lorem Ipsum.

Well I've never known a particularly bland Midwestern American accent to trouble anyone and the other bit's just a coincidence. And I think the only one I actually care enough about is this one on the right. Because I always read it as Dog Smart rather than Dogs Mart. If you can make them out and are so inclined, why not translate the left one for kicks?  Doseku posted:Today myself and a buddy of mine start our co-op adventure as orcs bent on stopping humans and their foul pollution... well not really. We actually start off on the run. What the heck is the "Magic" side to Flatulent Rebellion's "Dirty"?! From those options I would almost expect the game to turn into Enchanting Rebellion. Or do you just get fartomancy? Also, it seems like a lot of the sounds are just terrible stock sound effects that they didn't bother altering at all and it's really awful.

Such a strange ending. The whole thing was all a book he was writing - sounds a lot like "and he woke up and it was all a dream," a lazy story-telling convention.

It's interesting to see exactly how small the forest actually is in the light. It's a good illustration of how vital darkness is to the environments in a horror game.

To me, Cry of Fear is every annoying slur-flinging preteen gamer kid's attempt at writing serious (grimdark) fiction. It constantly tries to seem edgy and controversial with references to things like suicide and child sexual abuse, while plastering the levels with lame jokes and attempted memes in Swedish. It's like the videogame version of Pewdiepie.
