Every post I make to this community always gets about 9 downvotes. I think a dedicated number of them are people who just don’t want to see this kind of content. Or maybe bots, considering how the number is almost the same every time I post.
But as long as the overall vote count stays in the positives, I’ll keep posting! I like discussing the various games I play and I figure this is a great way to open discussion in the community.
I wouldn’t worry too much about it, I’ve seen a similar up/downvote ratio in gaming posts for some reason, even for newly announced trailers. No idea why. Tends to improve over time, though, keep it up! Always enjoy seeing these posts.
I’m not subscribed to this community and just found this content via “all”. If you’re in there, you’ll always get downvotes from people who just don’t like this kind of content. Don’t worry about it.
It was annoying when it was just one person posting this meaningless shit, now I see 3 posts every day already. Imagine every single user would do the same. It's Twitter / Facebook type of postings that I just don't give a fuck about.
One of my favorite gaming experiences. For anyone reading this, it’s a must play. It’s not the greatest game of all time, but the audio experience combined with the heartrending story make an emotional package.
So the camera is third person, but you of course experience the game through the eyes of Senua! You feel her courage, her fear, and her strength and grit as she pushes forward to solve her problem (no spoilers here).
While you play as Senua, you also get to hear Senua’s voices. Lots of voices, and it is an eerie and tough experience to get through. They will uplift you, praise you, beat you down, scare you, make you feel rotten. And it’s absolutely best to play this game with headphones - trust me.
I can’t praise this game enough. For me, it was about an 8.5/10. I only had a few nitpicks with gameplay, but the story beats, heartrending story, wonderful voice and motion-capture acting, musical score, art direction, etc is such an experience.
I never finished this title, so I’m replaying it in preparation for the new sequel. I had forgotten how dang stunning this game is. It’s a handful of years old now, and on ultra settings, still looks better than most modern titles.
I think that’s partly because it received a mayor grafic overhaul patch which included the option for Ray tracing and pushed grafic fidelity a good bit.
I was totally whelmed by this game, and thinking about it, it’s quite uncommon to have this old jaded coot’s expectations met. They promised a horror themed love story, and nailed it.
Tangentially, I’m happy for its success, because it means that the funding of the remaining episodes of Scarlet Hollow is secured.
I really need to get more into Project Zomboid, I really love its Sims-like aesthetic and early 90s setting. But the whole zombie apocalypse thing quite scares me since I’m pretty terrified of the idea of being eaten alive by a zombie horde and then becoming a zombie @_ (the end of the tutorial shook me to my core, lol)
I actually made a little “modpack” collection and sandbox game mode that turns it from a zombie apocalypse game to something more like Silent Hill (replacing zombies with eldritch entities, and making them spawn less frequently and move slower, but be far more resistant to damage), since that ironically makes the game less terrifying for me and more manageable to play 😅 (plus I quite like liminal spaces in general, which is something I wanted to replicate with the mod collection)
Yeah. The tutorial can be ruthless. I remember being scared a little by it when I first played it a few years ago.
I remember seeing a mod that swaps the zombies for one immortal one that always knows where you are (like the snail). Have you tried that with the eldritch mod?
I especially like that, despite the fact that you’re the supposed hero, every shot of your hand shows what appears to be a scaly monster’s hand. It makes you wonder who - or what - you really are…
SUUCH a good game, i cant wait for the pristine cut to come out! Ive gotten 80% of the game finished and im not a completionist. BUT THE STORY IS SO DAMB GOOD!
This is one of many reasons “I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream” is required gaming. One of the stages in the game is a concentration camp, you’re playing as the Nazi doctor who tortures people with unethical experiments. Your goal to win the stage is to realize the horrors of what you’ve done, accept your role in it, try to make amends, and ultimately agree to die as there is no apology for what you’ve done.
And yes, we do see mass graves and one of your first tasks is choosing to either sever a child’s spine or cancel the procedure. There is no gorey gruesome over the top scene, you just choose to do it, you lose “Spiritual Health”, and the child complains he cannot walk or feel his legs later whilst the game comments that the surgery had no purpose outside of mutilating the patient.
You can torture them further and learn nothing, but that’s how you lose… And again, there are no scenes of you gibbing jewish prisoners like they’re doom enemies. Getting to kill people in horrible ways is a reward in games, here, you get none of your “blood porn”, just the horrors of war.
If this doesn’t convince you “Holocaust = Bad”, you’re probably a Nazi.
Okay as little Gwent as possible. Otherwise you will get hooked on it until you burn out and stop playing the game entirely because you’ve forgotten all the storyline and mechanics.
