what horror games have fun combat?
>>
It's not horror if the combat's fun.
>>
>>720514869
why do you hate resident evil?
>>
>>720514780
F.E.A.R.
>>
The only one I can think of is Nightmare of Decay.
It looks cheap but its actually a fairly competent horror game.
Although, because the combat is good, the horror aspect ends up not being very scary.
Still very much worth it.

>>720514780
Clive Barker's Undying is a fun game but not really horror
Painkiller is OK
>>

>>720515059
I love that game. i wouldn't say the combat was great though, its fine, but the appeal of the game is the environment design and general gameplay
>>
>>720514869
it's not fun if the horror has no combat
>>
>>720514869
that's retarded
anything can be fun
It's not horror if there are NO STAKES.
>>
>>720514869
you are a retard who play games on easy because all you care about is watching cutscenes and looking at graphics
>>
>>720514780
Silent Hill 1, I got really damn good with the crowbar
>>
>>720514780
what game
>>
>>720514780
Depends what you consider horror. Doom isn't scary but the combat is great
>>
>>720514780
Condemned: Criminal Origins

>>720514908
Not horror. Bioshock has more scary moments than FEAR.
>>
>>720514780
inb4 shitting up the thread arguing what makes a game horror and also whether or not a game with good combat is a good game or a game with bad combat is a bad game. silent hill 2 is a good horror game with awful combat for instace. anyway,

>F.E.A.R., F.E.A.R. 2
FEAR 2 is actually pretty good, its main sin is just not being FEAR 1. 3 was shit.
>Resident Evil 4, 5, 2 Remake, 3 Remake (though it's three fucking hours long), Revelations, Revelations 2, the Mercenaries 3D
3 Remake is the peak gameplay for the remake series for me, the dodge is way better than the parry. Too bad they forgot to make the rest of the fucking game.
>Dead Space, Dead Space 2, Dead Space 3
DS3 is a shitshow but the combat is good. Weapon customization is good. Human enemies are a stupid idea.
>>
>>720514869
Combat not being fun is part of the fun in a horror game.
>>
>>
>>720520024
Fear 3 > Fear 2
Re3 remake < literal shit
>>
>>720514869
Its not horror if I'm not jumping in my seat whenever a sudden loud noise happens, while exploring otherwise empty corridors.
>>
>>720519736
Bioshock had scary moments?
>>
>>720520024
Human enemies are in the game for like 5 minutes tops.
The bigger stupid idea was those shit ass normal zombie enemies that mutate in to 1 of 3 forms depending on where you shoot them.
They just fucking suck when in normal person mode.
>>
>>720519603
looks like the ps3 Siren game to me
>>
>>720514780
Fatal Frame
>>
>>720514780
The Suffering

condemned 1 and 2 are fun
bioshock
system shock 2
>>
>>720514908
This
>>720514780
Cultic and Dusk aren’t really horror but they both have some creepy moments
>>
>>720514780
Fatal Frame.
>>
>>720519736
Wrong on both counts
>>
>>720514869
You're thinking of survival horror. Horror is more a tone or style, an atmosphere and all, rather than "oh my god only a powerless everydude, with a monkey wrench he swings like a brick and can sprint for 5 seconds before wheezing like he smokes a pack of cigarettes a day, can be spooked"
>>
>>720514869
Horror depends on context and kinematography. Fun combat is much less of a detriment to horror than third person free camera with default over-the-shoulder perspective, something that actively ruins horror by ruining all the context.
3rdPFCOTSP at the very least needs completely diegetic menus and clunky controls like the OG Dead Space to get close to being horror, but it is inherently just a perspective that takes you out of the experience and gives you too much information, imagine a horror movie where you could just find out where the monster is at any time by switching to a regular perspective shot of the monster that is obviously just a guy in a suit.
First person views at the very least do not actively take you out of the experience and give the devs greater control over what you can and will look at.
