yah; this is the remake

apparently there’s extra little areas and different scares!! I’m hoping to do a mostly all plasma cutter run but we’ll see

plasma cutter run is actually very easy because it only drops ammo for guns you have in your inventory and you'll be swimming in the stuff. also it's the best gun and the game was more or less designed around it

I'm 95% done with my plasma run on medium and I just discovered the reason I can't find the last NG+ collectible is that they're bugged :/ time to put it on hold for a patch I guess

or play more dead space



goddamn this game still fucks me up. made it to chapter 2 and yep, it’s like 2008 all over again - I can only take so much fear lol

first time playing on console and the aiming isn’t as bad as I thought it would be!

I am an absolute baby when it comes to horror but I remember with Dead Space once I started getting upgraded stuff it stopped being scary and was like "oh another necromorph", with a few jump scares etc.

then again now I have a much better sound system soooo

You said you got to chapter 2 so you're probably past the maintenance bay where they put a dead necromorph that you shoot from a distance only to realise it's not pretending to be dead, but dead dead. I went "huh" and three steps past it you get ambushed by an actual live one. Motherspacers, they got me good

Yeah, getting startled owns. I don't think Dead Space is trying to be any kind of "horror" game other than the one that jump scares you with uglies that you dismember with some meaty gun shots to the sound of the anxiety violins. And that's fine, really. Haven't died yet, but I wonder if they also spent an ungodly amount of time on the death animations, I remember the original being kind of famous for that.

i don't like the idea of condemning all media made by awful people because there are great movies made by creeps and great music made by real motherfuckers and so on. luckily that sort of rule isn't required. rowlings transphobia is bad. really really disgustingly bad. and l o loving l if somebody wants to compare the wizard rpg with chinatown or your favorite early 90s rap track.

ain't nobody saying "skrewdriver makes such great music, divorce the art from the artist." i wonder why that is.

yeah, one of those cases where i *do* care a bit about the level of actual art involved. even michael jackson was ultimately a significant contemporary artist, where (i am guessing, haven't checked it out) i highly doubt the hogwarts game has much artistic merit.

I feel like they added more gore to the actual necromorphs too - like pieces of their face or arms fall off but they keep coming. not the limb chopping either - like flesh.

also I think they got rid of the build up of stomping and Isaac gets more and more mad, could be me tho hehe

I can’t remember the maitenence bay scare. the one that got me was necromorphs spawning behind me and I see 2 appendages on my screen out of nowhere hehe

Coming out of my cage and I've been doing just bad
Are there any Armored Core fans in here that can give a rec for an older game to jump in on? Seems like it'd be my kind of game but I'd like to give one of the older ones a shot before I drop cash on a whole rear end AAA game and all.

I don't know a lot about the old games but I do know they're famous for having utterly deranged control schemes

AC6 is also likely not coming out for months, there will be plenty of media and buildup for it

AC6 is not going to be at all what most gamers expect and crush their balls, I'm predicting another Sekiro where its really loving good but also niche.


I'm not sure why the AC series never really took off it always had a huge cult following, to hard i guess

The original Armored Core games on PSX were good but the controls had a steep learning curve. My buddy was really into them and I struggled so it bounced off me but the games look cool and fun.
