Realistic lighting and physics do so much for horror games. Desperately clawing at barrels and sandbags to open a door into inky pitch blackness ftw

I shot tyrants hat off and the way it flies off as he advances toward you is so funny. Thinking about the eggheads at umbrella dressing him up and putting a fedora on him in the lab and loling at that too.

A new audio drama reveals that Luigi and Daisy broke up one year after the events of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Luigi was later tragically killed in an explosion when he tried to eat a bomb disguised as a power mushroom, his head flying into Daisy's lap.

Silent Hill 3 still looks amazing. They went a little too heavy on motion blur but the lighting and detail are even better than 2. Characters look way more natural too. It always fucks me up that the first two key items you find in the Otherworld are a bottle of bleach and a coat hanger

Finished up both A scenarios and started on B. Kinda disappointed that there isn't much difference between them aside from the opening and the route through the station. Leon's new hand gun is cool for shooting heads off though.

How do you enjoy horror games?
I'm a mid 30s man trying to figure out how to condition myself to play and enjoy horror games.

I've never been affected by horror films but the interactivity of games is just too much for me. I just don't enjoy the sensation of being scared and can't understand why people willingly put themselves through it.

that kind of fear is just a healthy outlet though. like it's video game monsters or someone tapping into a good primal image that sticks with you for awhile, it goes away. that kind of scary, I can have a nice, normal nightmare, wake up screaming, get a glass of water, and go back to bed. it's a refreshing change from what my brain does at night time if i don't feed it jump scares.

it's pretend :)

like a rollercoaster, or being tickled
you get the superficial experience of danger or horror in a safe, low-consequence environment

your body pumps adrenaline and fires up your amygdala and you get to feel how that feels and get an idea of how you react in tense or high-pressure situations but also you can just stop whenever you want

I get jump scared and then I laugh because it's harmless and enjoyable.

Silent Hill 2 and 3, especially 2, are the only horror games I have to take breaks on because some of the deeper themes combined with the insane sound design starts getting under my skin after awhile.

The interactivity of games is what makes them the best medium for horror imo. With books or movies it's a bit more passive because you just sit and watch. With games you get that fun sensation of simultaneously wanting to press forward and not wanting to, and great horror games maintain a baseline tension for several hours while giving you spikes of stress and relief.
