Played about three hours of Soma It's real good, and I enjoy how things that would be the "twist" of any other game are spelled out pretty quickly in that time frame

Oxxidation posted:The main character of Soma is insufferable, good Lord. He's completely tonally incongruent with the game's atmosphere. how is someone from 2015 a robot racist that's what gets me, especially someone who is established as a giant nerd I'd be loving psyched about robots (when they're not trying to murder me)

Demiurge4 posted:SOMA's main character's ignorance can be annoying yeah, but he's not supposed to be your standin. He's just a poor sob who's not too smart and doesn't grasp advanced sci-fi concepts because he's not a gamer who's been exposed to every trope in existence. He works at a book/boardgame/comic book store! He should be at least aware of some of it.

I'm not too far into the game, I must have missed the log that explained the naked dudes with structure gel heads in the sunken ship because there was a lot of "Can I look at him? Can he see me? How hosed am I?" trial and error. Fun game though!

They're called "fleshers" in the files if that helps, but it seems to be a general category of monster more than a specific type. going through the files I think it might actually be mscurie_reanimated_male not that it makes a ton of difference also going through these makes me dread a lot of poo poo I'm going to see coming up!

Also if you're ever in the injured limping state with no health holes around you might as well shove your head up a monster's rear end in a top hat anyway because trying to run around like that is loving impossible I know Frictional and a lot of horror game developers are trying to find ways to make failure states less frustrating but this isn't it

I don't know where you guys get the impression the ARK is a bad thing. The simulations you put Wan in are lovely and not meant for ARK use, and in some of them he only starts to freak out when Catherine asks him for the security cipher. And WAU is clearly not super great at the whole "create a simulation that won't gently caress your brain up" thing.

Safari Disco Lion posted:Oh, I guess he has a sort of Asian last name. Eh, we'll see. Yu is not a "sort of asian" last name it is definitely a Chinese last name also I've never heard anything about the voice actor giving them notes on accuracy. If he had a say in the creative process I imagine he would have told the writers that giving your Cherokee lead the first name Tommy and a last name that translates to Hawk was a bad idea.

Oxxidation posted:You're probably being funny, but in case you're not, the video's an elaborate mockup that uses camera tricks and weird transitions to make a single hallway seem to be about half a mile long, with the rooms becoming gradually more decayed on each pass. The captions maintain the same slightly broken deadpan and repetition of phrases, which makes the whole thing appropriately unsettling. don't forget the loving decayed corpses of her grandparents it's weird that no one mentions those when they talk about this video even without doing the admittedly good "this is totally normal" gimmick I feel like I'm taking crazy pills

a stephen king novel wouldn't pull the lame-rear end it wasn't actually supernatural it was actually this tech thing that for all intents and purposes is identical to something supernatural card which other than the generally tasteless and ineffective edgy horror is my huge bugbear.for the series.

Cell is upfront about what it is, at least. What it is doesn't make sense but it's not misleading and then tries to present what's going on as a big reveal.

"The protagonists do the proper thing to defeat the threat, you actually see the threat get defeated, and then it inexplicably pops up again at the last second to kill everyone because gently caress you" is my least favorite thing in horror and reminds me of all the awful early 2000's generic B-movie attempts that end exactly like that I'd rather have nothing

I still think Kenji Eno actually had something going on mentally because D2 is the level of bizarre and surreal that feels like it was made by someone with an actual disconnect from reality plus that time he threw a playstation on the ground and stomped on it on stage at TGS

at least in white day you just die when your health hits zero instead of a monster touching you and then forcing you to stumble around uselessly like an idiot until you get the monster to kill you again so you can just loving play the game normally

I feel like that mix of the illusion of death and actual death is important for a horror game. Too much of the latter is frustrating and too much of the former isn't scary.

I thought RE7 was fine the way it was There clearly was not enough game there if it was just the Bakers and nothing else. I rather have the traditional RE game they made than yet another getting chased down by single unkillable entities game.

A. Beaverhausen posted:Not one worth derailing a good thread over, calm your virtue gently caress off shithead Anyway, horror. I started playing Secret world because it rebooted and I hate myself and have a crippling F2P MMO addiction but that game actually has some surprisingly spooky bits in it, which got me thinking about how hard it must be to do horror in an MMORPG. Which then got me thinking about Resident Evil Outbreak and man what a weird janky amazing game that nobody could ever have played in the proper conditions for it to actually be good.
