Outlast was 10 times more disturbing and fucked up than Manhunt but didn't recieve even 1 percent of the controversy.
>>
>>728901728
It was a different time honestly, I don't remember having anything like it when it came out, and Youtubers made it blow up
>>
The thing is in manhunt you interact with the violence by performing executions, while in outlast you're more of a spectator to the edgy shit.
>>
How is Trials?
>>
>AND I FUCKED THE EARTH
The games were 10/10 comedy
>>
By Outlast's release epsiloomers were desentized to everything thanks to copious doses of Fox News and Family Guy. As if that wasn't bad enough just you wait until the kids who grow up on TicTac worshipping the bloodthirsty murderers of (((Juju)))tsu Kaisen grow up, the shit they'll do on the streets will make the Divinity trailer look like a joke
>>
yeah i remember in manhunt i'd always try to strangle people to death with a plastic bag because i didnt want to stab them in the back
>>
>>728901728
Outlast looks and feels science fiction and people are used to gore in science fiction.

Manhunt at first glance just looks like a guy executing people, specially with all the camera angles and effects and the noises they make while dying.
>>
>>728902218
The guy jerking off on a pile of corpses was kino

>>728901728
that's because the shit in outlast was typical moid behaviour

>>728901728
MK has way more violence than manhunt but no one bats an eye.
Manhunt's controversy were all retarded.
>>
>>728904349
Outlast is a fujo fantasy, it gets even more blatant in the DLC which is about a man trannifying men to make them his "wives" before deadly ficky ficky. You can smell the fag hags touching themselves among the devs. No straight man was involved in writing those scripts.

It had some but you're right not to the extent Manhunt did.
I think it's large in part it was a Rockstar game and at the time they were literal Satan to the hardcore puritan types, especially after Hot Coffee.

it was a different time when jack thompson and hillary clinton teamed up for morale outrage against videogames

it's coming back though with the divinity trailer and chuds becoming the new karens

manhunt came out when politicians were trying to score points with parents

Outlast was written by JT Petty. I don't think there was a single woman working at Red Barrels in 2013. Your skepticism is arbitrary. It's an all-male asylum. The males are sexual predators because that's gross and shock value. It's no deeper than that. I'm certain the devs couldn't have fathomed how popular it would've gotten with fujos
>>
>>728901728
show me you graphic cutting someone head off or slowly killing someone with a plastic bag in outlast. If anything outlast is the most boring game ever... UHDUH he wants a perfect woman
>>
>>728902192
Goes from a horror game to an optimization game very quickly since you have to deal with a bunch of objectives and effectively ignoring the AI.

What’s Divinity? And what makes it controversial?

manhunt was just GTA styled stealth missions with extra gore. it only got under people's skin because of the times. outlast is just plain shit.
>>
>>728910847
Not him but it's an upcoming RPG and the trailer was quite graphic (dude burning alive in a wicker man).

So what is exactly outlast trials and how does it compare with dead by daylight?

outlast graphics but manhunt gameplay... dream game for dark individuals such as myself

Worth playing?
>>
>>728902192
Really fun, but it's more about chases than hide and seek at high level play. If anyone's interested in playing add me on steam.

Manhunt was in the middle of the satanic/moral panic surrounding video games. That shit was pretty much over by Outlast and was replaced with feminist and now tranny faggotry.
>>
>>728911218
expect your average MP horror game.

What's so controversial about the divinity trailer?

OHHHHH GOD NOT THE BEES!

>>728911243
given the huge popularity of horror games I'm surprised Rockstar hasn't tried to do anything with Manhunt
>>
>>728907458
>chuds becoming the new karens
Chuds are getting tired of leftists pretending that they're still edgy and countercultural when that hasn't been the case for 20+ years now. It's the typical leftist false equivalence of pretending that fatigue is the same as being offended. Companies trying to be edgy by shoving satanic sex orgies in our faces is even more cringeworthy. This shocks nobody aside from actual religious boomers and soccer moms. It's incredibly tiresome.
>>
>>728911414
Nah there's definitely a pushback from the right on video games. Trump has said multiple times now videogame violence is radicalizing people. Granted he's probably referring to leftists, but it's still leading to the Jack Thompson trajectory of a ban.

Nobody outside your bubble thinks miggers are countercultural buddy, and counterculture in general is fucking dead.

>Get placed into a map.
>You have objectives to do in the map.
>There are some crazy people wandering the map with some gimmick (Blind, roid rage, shouts to alert the main enemy) in addition to the main enemy of the map which is the major antagonist for the "chapter".
>You have to do the objectives while avoiding these characters and avoiding things that would expose you like glass on the ground.
>End goal is to do this on the hardest difficulty which prevents you from using a lot of cheeses, items, and makes everything more paranoid.
>If you play in co-op you can revive each other which arguably makes it much easier to clear.
There's nothing I can really think of that's like it. It's a co-op game you can play singleplayer without much issue. Imagine the main story segments of Outlast where you're avoiding a main enemy except instead of one thing you have to do there's like four or five, there's like five enemies instead of one (Or in the case of the Twins, two), and the spaces are much larger so you can kite or even outright evade the enemies. That's how it is.

In outlast trials you turn a guy into a tranny then set him on fire and pull the arms and legs off a lady
It's pretty fun and really really good for a multiplayer horror game

is it competitive or you can just chill out?
do you need friends or randoms are fine?

>>728912121
There's PvP which is DBD levels of autism, but you can ignore that mode completely. Ohterwise it's just a co-op game. At worst if you're shit people will just let you die and not revive you.
>>
>>728911919
>posts a YouTube link in response
You’re not really making your case here.
>>
>>728902192
It has a superb introduction with its tutorial because it’s one of the only parts of then game designed around a curated solo player experience. Then the rest of the game is objective-based collectathons and minigame missions which are either extremely tedious or braindead easy, designed around 3-4 players breaking the AI over their knee. If you’re into co-op challenges it’s fun but all the horror leaves the game after the opening 45 minutes, unfortunately.

It's a solid game if you want more outlast and the player being more proactive against the enemies. You still don't have guns or anything but you get perks which can alter how you play and there is more enviormental interaction stuff that allows you to take action against the enemies and buy you more time or help teammates. It can be soloed if you are a die hard player but it is really meant as a team game. All the content is in free updates, cosmetic packs are the paid dlc so getting the game on sale, it's like $12 on the steam sale is a good deal.
The downsides to trials is that it's a live service game so you need internet to play and save your progression as you level up and unlock stuff and the game being coop focused with you replaying a set of levels over and over with more enemies, traps and objectives depending on the difficulty may get old fast for some players who want the more content like outlast 1 and 2 offer. There is a story to trials and each update brings new content but it's still a side-game to the main series. Hard not to recommend it unless the live service or multiplayer aspect really is a downside. Especially since it is so cheap.

100% true. Moralfagging is boring and old now. It's just the people who wanted freedom of speech are now wanting to censor it.

>but Rockstar just ignores it
Rockstar lost its soul after GTA 5. They will never make anything good ever again in our lifetimes.
>>
>>728908925
The outlast trials levels all involve killing someone in a brutal way such as:
>Frying someone to death in an electric chair
>Sawing someone in half and spraying their blood everywhere
>Forcibly trannifying a man and then burning him alive
>Taking someone and breaking their arms and legs before hanging them
>Drowning a guy in gore from ground up corpses
>Cutting people open and shoving drugs in them
>Ripping people limbs off
and more

I still don’t really get the story. What was the purpose of the Morphogenetic Engine? What did Murkoff have to gain from butchering people?
>>
>>728911919
and the results were?
>>
>>728913667
Murkoff wanted to create a super-soldier, i.e. the Walrider. But the only way to control the Walrider is for someone to experience obscene amounts of psychological torment (the Walrider was conceived in Nazi WW2 experiments, thus there was plenty of bad juju going around). Mount Massive Asylum was essentially trying to recreate the conditions of Holocaust camps by torturing the inmates into viable Walrider hosts
>>
>>728913738
Did they have swimming pools and soccer teams at mount massif?
>>
>>728901728
Yeah, but Outlast came from literally who small time developers so it had almost no spotlight on it to begin with, and it was also 10 years later after more gory and disturbing shit before it paved the way and helped desensitized people. I do find it surprising that the Ready or Not devs cucked out and censored their game in order to sell on Xbox/GayStation, yet Outlast Trials didn't have to censor anything and they had only added it in recent months as an option.
>>728902192
It's become my favorite game. I just wish they would add mod support, but now that they implemented Easy Anti Cheat (yes, I hate it too) and PvP, mods are out the fucking window so it kinda sucks. Actual content updates are out every three months, most of it is great, I think. I'm just disappointed that they focus on churning out new content instead of fixing longstanding bugs... granted, the game needs more content too, so I guess it's fair that they would opt to keep people entertained and work on fixes more later on. I don't bother with the PvP aspect because of how jank things can be due to most people having such shitty network connections, as well as server-side desynchronization issues. I thought I would hate Trials because when I saw the game's first announcement it just looked like a shitty spin-off, my e-girl gifted it to me and I expected to never touch it again after an hour but here I am two years later with 2300 hours in it.

>>728913964
They do have a basketball court

>>728913964
Unironically, non-sarcastically, what is the source of all this “actually, the holocaust wasn’t that bad lmao”?
I’ve been hearing this kind of stuff for over a decade at this point but nobody ever backs it up with a source. I’m not trying to defend heebs, I just don’t know where people got the information that concentration camps weren’t all that bad/it never happened.
>>
>>728914226
the holocaust is used to justify every single thing that is awful and sucks about life in the 21st century

Doesn't change what happened though, in fact I'd say it would have had to be something pretty bad to create this level of suicidal psychosis in western society

but many are now downplaying it because they're tired of being browbeaten by it
>>
>>728901728
Outlast was such an utterly mediocre horror game that I'm surprised how much traction it and the franchise has managed to generate
>>
>>728914226
It's just edgy contrarianism. No actual research is involved, it's just the regurgitation of /pol/ memes. They cobble together random irrelevant non-sequiturs like "b-but they had swimming pools!" or "b-but the lampshade story turned out to be a myth!" or "muh wooden doors!" as if it's some sort of gotcha, even if all that was true, it doesn't change the fact that it's a fucking concentration camp and no disease-ridden extralegal prison camp in the world is a comfy place to be. You don't see them trying to argue that the gulags or Guantanamo Bay or Abu Ghraib were just summer camps
>>
>>728901728
Outlast is tame as fuck and had no right to get sucked off as hard as it did. Horror fans have no fucking standards.
>>
>>728914617
It's schlockkino. Get off your pretentious high horse and stop pretending you don't enjoy a good sleazy slasher movie every now and then. It reeks of insecurity
>>
>>728914617
to be fair look at horror movies theyre mostly all terrible
>>
>>728914617
It tries way too hard to be shocking, the horror in Outlast is incredibly lazy and cheap overall
>>
>>728914438
>>728914297
>>728914226
It's because they have been found to lie about just about everything and it is used by them to justify their evil actions when the evidence is quite shaky when given the slightets bit of consideration. Hell even if it was true far worse things happened in the soviet union and china
>>
I've been playing Soma, so far I'm 3 hours in and I don't see why people call it one of the best horror games of all time
>>
>>728915102
Yeah, sure. The Walrider could've easily been conceived in a Soviet gulag instead of a Nazi camp. But it wasn't. Mainly because the Walrider comes from German myth, so it was characterized by German locals. If it happened in a Soviet gulag, it wouldn't be the Walrider. It'd be the Baba Yaga or something
>>
>>728901728
manhunt is more realistic and thus scarier.
>>
>>728915192
It's more because of the deep sea + robots + existentialism that people tend to rate it highly. It's not so much scary as it is atmospheric and the coin flip always causes infinite arguments.
>>
>>728915241
Yeah, Outlast has straight up science fiction elements
>>
>>728914669
It's not a high horse when retards are actively digging themselves into the mud with how shit their taste is.
>>
>>728901728
People probably didn't care enough to start a controversy on it in 2013. Everyone had already been there and done that.

Because Amnesia is literal dogshit in comparison.
>>
>>728917363
Both are mediocre but honestly Amnesia is still better than Outlast
>>
>>728917417
Nah I don't see it. You can't even die in Amnesia, which maybe is why you people like such casual dogshit, when I wouldn't even say Outlast is that hardcore, but if the chases in Outlast filter you, then LMAO
>>
>>728904349
Tranny or mid to repulsive women (still infinite smv). Which one is it?
>>
>>728917461
Amnesia's horror was based on the rich and unique atmosphere, Outlast's horror was based on cheap jumpscares and scripted chase sequences
>>
>>728901728
Dishonest take, on manhunt the play is actively doing it, in Outlast the player is running from.
>>
>>728917553
>Outlast's horror was based on cheap jumpscares and scripted chase sequences

Skulking in the dark with night vision trying to avoid Chris is as close to being in a horror movie I've ever experienced. Ironically Amnesia feels more scripted, even though it shouldn't.

Manhunt was back when violent video games were still the big target of fearmongering politicians. The violent takedowns being more realistic compared to other games of that era, and it being from the same company that made GTA certainly made it an easy target.

>>728917461
>You can't even die in Amnesia
You haven't played the game.
>>
>>728924123
>Amnesia: The Dark Descent's Hard Mode was released for Xbox One and PC on 28 September 2018, in which several gameplay mechanics are altered to create a more challenging experience. Autosaving is disabled, requiring players to manually save, which costs four tinderboxes per save, making resource management even more crucial.[4][5] Additionally, if the player's sanity reaches zero, they die.

You couldn't die when the game first released, newfag.
>>
>>728917553
What are you talking about? There's only like two or three jumpscares in the entirety of the first Outlast game. I can't recall there being a bunch in the sequel either, and Outlast Trials didn't get jumpscares until last year as part of the Halloween event. They don't rely on jumpscares and it's one of the reasons why I love the series.
>>
>>728924957
Did we even play the same game? There are jumpscares in the game like every 5 minutes.
