besides the division 1, what are some certified winter kino games?
none, this is the best winter ludo game ever madeshit on ubisoft but they got people who know how to make their dogshit look pretty, literally the best blizzards and volumetric lighting/fog in the industry
>>727729401max payne obvs
>>727730274no anon I need more winter games
>>727729401FUCK I wish Watch_Dogs had snow
Northern Journey was great. Amazing atmosphere.
>>727729401red dead 2 in the snow areas
>>727729401The definitive winter kino game.Even played through it while keeping my window open during freezing temps for maximum immersion
>>727729401Death Stranding (the mountain region)
>>727731547fine, the first things that come up when I think snow and vidya>mgs1>lost planet>metro>ssx tricky>stalker anomaly/gamma with winter mod>extermination>the thing>the long dark>overlord 2 (not all the game even tho it's the first area of the game iirc)>days gone (partially but definitely up there in my nice snow rating)anyway div1 still unmatched in that department and I stand by my point, one of the few things that game actually did well
>>727729401The environments in D1 were so cool but the gameplay and story were so ass.PvE>spam your grenade ability from behind cover 20x while sniping weakpointsPvP>use your grenade ability and then run up and SMG them while spamrolling around, or be a total pussy and snipe -> grenade ability -> run -> snipe until you create an opening>every faction of enemies is either Borderlands tier over the top "cult led by a psycho warlord" or something extremely fucking bland and mundane like Rikers escapeesGot boring fast.
>>727733274I think D2 was more guilty of shitty factions that felt silly. D1 had:>Rioters, just hooligans trying to scrounge for themselves>Cleaners, ex-firefighters, city workers, etc incinerating infected in hopes of containing the disease>Rikers, a prison riot that got organized enough to function as an actual group>LMB, mercs attempting to impose order and usurp the governmentAll of them were somewhat logical in their operation and believable that the faction could exist in the setting.D2's faction all felt like caricatures though, I suppose because the devs didn't want any sympathy for them. The Hyenas were just the Rikers but constantly high on drugs, the True Sons were comically evil and just shot civilians for the hell of it, Outcast just want to infect everyone out of spite, and the Black Tusk is LMB 2.0, now even more elite.The Hunters were the only over the top faction in Division 1, being some mysterious, super well-organized group with kit and training beyond anyone else, but they were used so sparingly that they rarely overstayed their welcome. Having them come out after a wave in the Underground as a surprise was pretty intense since it wasn't always something you were expecting.
>>727731729The first Watch Dogs but set in the Chicago winter would have elevated that game to absurd levels of kino
>Ludo>A game that combines high challenge, high replayability, satisfying feel, clever and innovative mechanics, combined seamlessly with great music, art direction, and gameplay-based storytelling, creating a transcendental experience that can only be enjoyed by those of the most highly refined taste in computer games is said to be ludo.
>>727732103can you shill this to me? it looks interesting. how janky is it?
The long dark and the upcoming Blackfrost (the long dark 2)
>>727735019i was in chicago during christmas a few years ago. insanely kino city in the winter time
>>727729401Phendrana drifts
>>727729401IT'S DA BAT
>>727735371yeah if you like getting shanked by some gangbangers
>>727735189Fun, unique shooter set in a northern, mountainous area. Weird, ugly-yet-charming characters, and beautiful environments. Oh, and a lot of fucking spiders.It's not really janky, but you can tell it was made by a solo dev. Full of soul though, and the Nordic influences are apparent.IMO, worth playing for the atmosphere alone. Screenshots don't do it justice. I wish I could experience it for the first time again. There's a section without any action for a few minutes where all you do is climb up a mountain and take in the view, and it's one of my most memorable gaming experiences.
>>727732759ty anon, might play some SSX later
>>727729401OP you are confusing me, games set in winter or has winter areas or games to play during the winter?I don't know why but spooky games during winter (especially if it's snowing or raining outside) just feels like the right time to play them.
how has no one posted this yet
>>727735845>OP you are confusing me, games set in winter or has winter areas or games to play during the winter?games set in winter, mostly. I want to be fully immersed in the cold, annoying if I have to stop after a 1 section
>>727729401First half of Mafia 2
>>727729401I may get some shit for this...but Dead Space 3. When you finally make planetfall on Tau Volantis, it has some of the best snow effects I've seen in a while. The Necromorphs will also hide in the snow and burrow their way to you before pouncing giving it some genuine tension whenever you walk out of any of the abandoned SCAF facilities.
TRANSMISSIONS JAMMED
I liked Winter in Horizon 4. I'm hoping they let us change seasons whenever in 6, but I have a feeling it's still going to be tied to live service shit.
The holidays dont bother me that much, but november-december feels like the Sunday of the months. And you just want it to be fucking over.

>>727736049Hi I'm throwing in my gay retarded game nomination with Lost Planet 3; if the 1st game could have had a narrative-focus like this and the same environment artists and modelers it would be peak.
>>727736049Based.
Lost Planet was so fucking good
>>727735928Well in that case, try out the Metro games.The first game is somewhat convoluted due to the amount of walking and talking, but the atmosphere are damn good in the series.Metro Exodus looks freaking good even after all these years.
>>727729401Theres just something about this fucking game. From the setting and worldbuilding to the sound design. Everything just meshes so well together. If only it wasn't a fucking loot shooter. If they had made the gameplay more like max payne >>727730456 it would have been peak.

>>727735761Literally just stay out of South Side.
>>727737447too bad it's DEAD
>>727739003Actually, a sequel set in Chicago during the heaviest winter storm yet would be pretty nice. Also how did you get rid of nearly your entire hud?
>>727729401Batman origins
>>727729401freedom fighters
Kona and its sequel.
>>727729401Escape From Tarkov during the winter.The first time that snow started falling out of nowhere was one of the few times in my life I've been brain-crash confused, it was like a tear in reality. It's easily the best season.
>>727740879Oh shit twins
>tfw live in mediterranean coast>never seen snow>most winters I'm in shortsI always dream about a north european winterI love all those cozy houses filled with snow
>>727729401I like "The Long Dark" personally. Yeah, it can be a bit slow at times, but I'm kind of addicted to these survival and crafting type games.
>>727736167I hate holidays so goddamn much because people become even crazier, they worship spending and consooming and they stopped to praise the lord Jesus
>>727741664Christmas and Easter are the two days of the year where churches everywhere are guaranteed to be overrun with people who don't normally attend mass.
>>727741262make your own snow anon <3
