>>492467738many thanks, anon

I guess this is horror.
WE RISE TO FACE OUR FEARS ONCE MORE MY FRIENDSSCREAM NOT INTO THE VOID FOR IT MIGHT GET STARTLED
>>492470496what's this game?
>>492471220Cursed 3. If you can handle a 1 man army with music not of his own making, its a good cheesy horror game akin to a b-movie. It might spook it might scare but to me at this point, it doesn't. If you have any more questions, I'm willing to answer!
>>492467738>is Parasite Eve a true horror game?Its core gameplay system is RPG and it's theme is horror.It's a horror RPG.Now the real tricky question is, what category of gameplay system is Resident Evil, Dino Crisis, Eternal Darkness etc.We have FPS, TPS, RTS, RPG, VN, shmups, beat em ups, hack n slash, tactics, arcade fighter, etc. All descriptive categories of core gameplay systems.So is there one for our classic fixed-camera tank-controls horror games?
>>492472707>RTSwat!?!?! Horror RTS!?
>>492473629I kinda just mentioned those genres as examples, but now I'm curious.
What’s the best horror game and why is it Dead Space?
>>492471482>Cursed 3looks sovlfvl as fuck. thanks anon
>>492473629>>492474089Well I'll be. There's a game called Gord which released last year.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VeELUjTkhXYMixed reviews on Steam.
Was surprised to find how much closer this game is to Silent Hill than it is Resident Evil after seeing primarily RE fans recommend it (though I guess they do have a lot of overlap).
>>492475178Checking the RTS horror tabs on steam, wtf is this? Have you lads played this one? Is it worth it?Lobotomy corporation?
>>492477185No. Not worth it. Not in a million years.
>>492474848>sovlfvlEnlighten me on that term I'm somewhat new to /VG/.
>>492477338why not
>>492477592The hip and trendy motherfucker is bastardizing the word "soulful". Fuck him.
>>492477818lighten up, francis. or i will take you up on that threat and let you fuck me
>>492477818Ah thanks! Theres also cursed 2 which heres a boss fight I played.
>>492475992It's genuinely incredible how starkly different of an impression you can get of Signalis if the only thing you know about it is the majority of its online fanbase.
>>492477952Will you make it hvlsmWill we hvld hnds
>>492477973what's the cross do?>>492478189absolvtely
>>492478136I HATE how the online fanbase has made me not want to play it because all i see is "LESBIAN!!!! LESBOS!!"I'm, honestly wanting to play it.>>492478396The Cross is used in this boss fight to show the boss as its invisible without it, if you have stats in mind you can see it even without the cross. Cursed 2 and 3 are rpgs as well that have you engage in combat to get stronger, no grinding required, if you're skilled enough you dont need to do it. Cursed 3 especially is a high mark for skill based, the dev is adding a horde shooter mode where you're locked to killing hordes with powerups and new enemies with a shop inbetween rounds!
>>492477704Imagine any given simulator game, now imaginr it with debilitating bugs and a manic difficulty curve
>>492478672I mean don't let all of the gooners stop you from playing it, it's a genuinely good survival horror. If you like SH and/or RE, you'll probably like Signalis.
>>492478136It's true.I've avoided undertale and a bunch of horror indie games and other shit over the years just from how insufferable their fanbases are.I was lucky to get into voices of the void before finding out how god awfully autistic people can be about it. Sometimes it's better to enjoy something in a vacuum.
>>492478960I beat SH 1 with 7/10 stars first playthrough. I hope signalis is fun and i hope the horror is front and center.>>492479172I actually got into undertale just the summer before it exploded in popularity on the internet, it was popular but not so pervasive. I'm lucky i did. I'm lucky i got into deltarune day 1 before everyone and their grandma spoiled it.
>>492479172I thoink this applies to anything. Being a fan is fine, it's when a lot of fans gather together to form a community when it becomes a religion.Take a look at Goemon. Hasn't seen a new game since the 2000s. But there's still a small dedicated fanbase to the franchise online, even comprising of autistic kids who weren't around during Goemon's peak. I know these people.You say one bad word about the series around those folks and they'll rip you to shreds.All fan communities online are autistic. It's their religion. You'll have a more pleasant time finding people who are fans of a genre and have broader tastes that aren't just one franchise.
>>492478136Maybe they're just trying to cope with how soul-crushing the game's narrative can be.
Alright, I'm easily influenced and Romulus got me in the mood. Wish me luck on my 4th playthrough (gonna try to beat Nightmare this time).
>>492479427Found the results of my run!Ik i was dogshit but it was my first playthrough.
>>492480450Cope doesn't need to correlate with fanbase wide retardation. Like Little Nightmares sees the same sort of cope but you'll never hear anyone talk about the community negatively because it doesn't get obnoxious or start to cloud out the actual story of the game.
>>492480742True, especially if it obfuscates it to the point of not being able to appreciate what the piece of media actually is.Anyway, irregardless of its fanbase, I also recommend it. It's bretty gud.
>>492480156i say this as a metroid fan:fuck the metroid fanbase and its online community
>>492481523>fuck the metroid on it
>>492482389My friend, I strongly advise you to NOT fuck metroids.
>>492477185surprised you haven't heard of lob corp lol, and yeah it's worth it, can't speak for the sequels though.>>492478912For me it was memory leaks
>>492482389>Metroids are not fleshlites.>Metroids are not for plapping.>Finally, unauthorized breeding of Metroids is still strictly prohibited.
>>492482794>>492483720it is this lack of imagination that holds us back. i will forge a new chapter in history. with my penis.
>>492477818Shvt the hell up it’s funny and cool
>>492478136>>492479172This is why gate keeping is so necessary. The problem is that not enough people do it and when everyone realizes there’s a problem the issue has already ballooned out of control and we end up with stuff like that. Many such cases.
>>492469469Toon Alice is def cuter though
>>492487437Doesn't quite apply to this situation because the yuri robofuckers ARE the gatekeepers.
>>492475178Gord has an interesting setting, but it simply isn't that good overall, being more of a mixed bag.Personally for me, it's the Banished Vault.
>>492478396The cross forces the boss to reveal itself, since it's completely invisible otherwise.
Nose has an excellent opportunity to really fuck with people by having the doors open up randomly in the base. Not sure why he has yet to do that.
>>492504162He has a excellent opportunity to make a good fucking game, that's what.Why bother having doors you can lock if entities can just open them on their own or just pass right through them? The whole point with lockable doors in the first place is to make you feel safe.
>>492505567>is to make you feel safe>feel safe>feel
one of these days I'll beat koudelka
