sim_, do gaming w Should I stick with The Outer Wilds? (EDIT: yes)

I bounced off the game originally too. There’s a lot to take in (and I never quite mastered the spaceship), but once things start clicking it’s an unparalleled experience.

I… huh. OK. I guess.

It’s a game about exploring. There is a mystery. There are puzzles. Not much spoon feeding to even find either let alone ‘make progress’. The game expects you to explore to find answers. There is no penalty for dying (it is actually inevitable) other than the time it may take to get back somewhere.

I think I’m wondering if there is more story line or action at some point? I don’t need the story spoon fed to me, but a hint of which direction to go, what sort of thing to do next would be helpful. I guess I’ll just keep looming around and dying often and see if anything else happens.

Have you tried just surviving? There’ll be a pretty obvious hint after some time passes

@perishthethought@lemm.ee avatar

Not sure what that would be like. Just standing still? When does the fun kick in? I’ve died and respawned about 20 times so far. I’m good to keep trying, if there’s some payoff eventually, as you said.

Well I guess knowledge is power, and power is kinda fun. There’s a reason many people say this game is special.
If you don’t feel the game right now, that’s ok, you can keep it on your list for later. But please avoid spoilers like the plague.

TheSambassador,

Explore and be curious. Have you visited every planet? Have you been using the ship logs when you’re not sure what to do next?

The game is 100% about exploring and learning about the world.

One of two. Ghosts and Ghouls on snes, I was like 4 but wasn’t scared. And the other one is not a horror game but for 6 year old me it was scary as shit, Halo CE. The Library level and the one before, 343 Guilty Spark, were hell for me. Beating those levels was a goddamn relief.

F.E.A.R. and Penumbra

Awesome! I was really tired of seeing that site. Definitely not a reputable publication and shouldn’t ever has been listed

Phantasmagoria.

No, not the more recent VR Game, Phasmaphobia. Phantasmagoria was a DOS PnC adventure game that absolutely scared the shit out of me when I was 9.

Skyhighatrist,

I remember that game. It came on like 7 CDs and was pretty much entirely FMV if I remember correctly.

Yep. It had a script over 550 pages long; about the same length as an average hollywood film and also had a huge 25 actor cast, many of which were classically trained actors.

And here I am only remembering the basement and the scary sounds that made me stop playing for a week.

LoamImprovement,

Goddamn did that game push some limits. I guarantee something like that remade today would get an AO rating.

Hilarious that it even embedded the tweet so you can see it’s not an accurate quote.

Bad enough when humans do it, adding nothing.

Tangentially related. Does anybody know if there’s a browser extension or database that collects the obviously LLM generated websites?

I run into lots of websites where all I think is “this can’t possibly be a human writing this, right?” All I can do is show it to my friends and family for validation.

otter,

Time to make one, or roll it into a ublock origin filter

fwygon,

yes please; we need a ublock filter

This is a great idea and if it exists I’d love to use it

MagicShel,

If the writing is that bad, it belongs on the list. If it’s that bad and is still written by a human it belongs on possibly an even worse list.

I loved Resident Evil but it was the third one that really got me, with the havoc in the streets and the scare where you realize Nemesis can literally chase you from room-to-room and/or show up literally anywhere at any time.

Silent Hill 2 on ps2

Not sure it counts, but I played a loooot of Killing Floor in my early teens.

The first NES Castlevania. Still a classic.

I actually have a 3E diorama of from the opening level hanging in my condo. I replay it once or twice a year. Still holds up.

A seminal classic!

I remember when I first rented FEAR at blockbuster, that section of the hallway at the start is so memorable.

I don’t remember specifics but it’s when you’re going through the building and keep seeing the little girl, then you get to a cluttered hallway and I think it was set ablaze and you were thrown back by her

I remember having just the demo installed for the longest time and just playing that brief section of the game over and over. It was just so damn cinematic and awesome.

Eternal Darkness for the Gamecube. Got me more into Lovecraftian horror and horror in general.
