What is a critically panned game that you somehow like playing?Hellnight got mostly mid-to-horrible scores by reviewers, and it undeniably has a barren and low-budget feeling for most of the experience. Still you can tell the devs and artists were genuinely inspired, it's an actually creepy and scary horror game with very effective art, music and writing.
>>12510550Probably SMW, the physics and momentum are shit and mario controls like ass.
I knew this was just a giant fucking advertisement as a teen, but still liked itthere aren't many shooting games that actually focus on competitive shootingit could have been a decent light gun game, but it lacks GunCon compatibility
god hand
Strike gunnerOnly thing that bothers me is stage 6 music, which sounds like technofarts with a coughing latino overdosed on cough syrupOverall, the game's shit and it sucks. But i like it anyways.
>>12510640I'm 99% sure there was a campaign to bomb this game to oblivion. There's no way a bunch of people looked at it thought: yeah, this sucks ass.Vidya journos were a bit iffy, but their track record wasn't that bad until 2005~2010Someone laced their pockets with green notes
>>12510563Damn I've only ever seen this mentioned on here a couple other times. My dad got this for me from the bargain bin about 20 years ago.Thanks, dad.
One of the only games I've 100%ed.
>>12511440it will never not piss me of that these people got paid middle class salaries to post these mouth breather takes.
I was really into Hellnight until the monster (across the map from me) decided that he had the option of attacking me (from ACROSS THE MAP) which triggered a cutscene that instakilled Naomi.Cutscene ends and I just sat there stunned wondering how the fuck that was even possible as a glitch. I decided to not risk playing it again rather than redo like 2 hours of gameplay.
>>12511503You could’ve just kept playing without Naomi and got a different partnerI mean I get it, I only play full-Naomi but you could’ve done that
final bout sucks, but i liked they way it sucked
>>12510550Hellnight is great. Atlus just didn't pay reviewers enough to get good scores.
I know this game's been memed to hell, but I got the cartridge from Babbages over 20 years ago when lots of SNES games cost single digits and I've always liked it. First stage always looked real cool to me and the soundtrack is nice (especially stage 2's theme.)
>>12510550One of the only ps1 horror games where I felt genuine tension. I had know idea if got mixed reviews.
Pic related is easily in my top 20 favorite games. Gamespot gave it a 1.9/10 saying:>either the most avant-garde piece of gaming artistry to ever find its way to the retail market, or the absolute worst game of the year. Roger Ebert said almost the exact same thing about Freddy Got Fingered.
>>12512076Not critically panned and not bad, just known for the US cover art. it's originally an X68000 game ports to the NES, but not the Genesis... for some reason.I found it to be a good, but somewhat boring shmup. I would consider it above average but not more than that.
>>12510550Hellnight's place in the PSX library is where King's Field would also be if there was no Souls games.

>>12510650I beat this game in like 2 hours on my second play through. It was OK and I never touched it again.
