There is a game so fucking terrifying that I won’t even buy it although I’d totally play it. That Dragon, Cancer. It’s a deeper fear than I can ever explain.
Jesus I go to horror games for a different brand of horror. I can't imagine voluntarily subjecting myself to this, but I can actually imagine wanting to make it if I were a parent who had to live through that.
Cyberpunk had the same thing, but it turned out to be a) very minimal options b) made no difference at all to story or romance c) irrelevant because without mods you couldn’t see them in game apart from in the inventory screen.
I suspect this would be the same, just a pointless feature to generate clickbait articles and maybe get a few more sales to horny coomer idiots.
Oh man, Silent Hill 2 and 3 are some of my favorite games, the atmosphere is just perfect. I started playing Resident Evil 7 in VR and the part at the very beginning where you go down into the basement and I just noped out and haven't tried it since. Will probably give it another go eventually...
I finally broke down and got a PS5 to play FF16, put about 5 hours in so far and enjoying it.
Will have to check out some other PS exclusive games in the near future too (if anyone has any recommendations apart from God of War, feel free to suggest!)
Depends on what type of games you like but…Death Stranding DC was a bit different and really good (IMO). If you liked FF16 and you haven’t played DMC 5SE that’s good as well. FF7R is good. Pretty much all the PS5 Yakuza games are fun(ny). Ghost of Tsushima was excellent.
As a patient gamer, I just finished Return to Obra Dinn. It's basically a very elaborate logic puzzle rendered in a retro art-style that actually works.
And here I was, hoping that an actual nuanced discussion could happen on here, instead of a Reddit-esque “Kotaku sux” kind of thing.
I almost didn’t post it because I suspected half the replies would be people complaining about Kotaku like it’s still 2014, and now I see I should have gone with my gut.
Yeah, especially since the Battle Network Legacy Collection is on track to becoming the best-selling Mega Man game period. I expect we'll see a Battle Networ 7 and/or a Star Force Legacy Collection within a couple years.
Even though I’ve finished the first three at least once, Fatal Frame games are terrifying. I love them dearly, but I literally can only play any of them for maybe an hour before I have to turn them off.
I don’t know if I would be able to finish one these days. My anxiety is way worse than when I was young.
Edit: To be more specific, the sound design in FF games is too good. The atmospheric sound effects, the background music, the ghosts voices. It’s so creepy. The way the ghosts appear out of nowhere, the subject matter of folkloric rituals.
It’s all just the perfect storm of terror. The anxiety gets to me after a time.
Siren is another series I would hate to play right now.
