Korean online games always have disproportionally good music. I still have RO installed mostly because of the music folder. As cheesy as it is I kinda liked the music in that Quick Look.
So I watched the Deadly Creatures QL again because it's been a while, and I've decided that survival horror developers have missed the boat.
How is there not a spider/scorpion/rat/lizard/bug themed survival horror game? And no I'm not talking about Escape from Bug Island because giant versions are far less creepy. How is there not a game where your character wakes up, feels something funny on his feet, turns the light on AND THE GROUND IS MADE OF SPIDERS

I dont know how much that game's scares would actually work unless it had some wacky peripheral that let you feel the bugs on you.
You should watch the Deadly Creatures QL because it freaks Jeff the fuck out without a peripheral
This is why I like Deadly Creatures, the bug animations are good and creepy if you hate bugs. They did some of this in UC3 (and probably more I'm forgetting) but it wasn't really horror.
It would probably freak Patrick out.
Well yeah but you're pretty up close in that game most of the time. Stuff is always super freaky upclose, hell for a while I could barely scroll through a large image of hatchetfish when the same image scaled down didnt bother me at all.
Like he even says its the leg animation that gets to him the most. Im imagining it in my head, and I just dont think you're gonna get the full impact of that if you're mostly looking at them from a person's perspective (or a camera's perspective focused on a person) in a videogame. Especially if you're going to need enough to cover a floor, like I dont know how good those would look.
maybe if your character was a child so you'd be closer to the ground and the game was first person
and it starts with you waking, and opening your eyes as a spider darts across your pillow
Okay... What if you're playing a roach in first person, and it's still survival horror.
Okay im sold on this game
Someone make this
Looking at cockroaches move is the most unnerving thing, making that the main thing you look at is genius.
Playing as an ant would be cool. Going through an ant hill in first person would be nightmare fuel, and that's when you're not in danger.

I can still lose an afternoon to SimAnt.

If you want a survival horror that caters to your phobia of insects play Siren Blood curse.
Am I the only one who's getting tired of the "It looks bad like a Free 2 play game" line?
Not that F2P games are necessarly the highest standard of quality but they've come a looooong way in the last couple of years. Nowadays you can find F2P games that are actually better (gameplay wise and technical side too) than full paid games.
I mean...in the end there's shitty games in every category.

The game looks bad, they didn't even try to give it any depth. So obvious when the character moves up and down, or jumps.

Yeah they do! The Dungeon Fighter music is amazing. I'd always been meaning to give the game a shot, and this new release finally got me to try it. Ended up downloading it on Steam too.
Agreed.
Like I said in the whatcha been playin thread, I've basically been deep into Vindictus and Blacklight:Retribution recently. They're both tons of fun. Also, Tribes is amazing.

So, I had absolutely nothing to do yesterday, and I ended up watching the second half of the TNT with the Tetris Battle Gaiden in it. I figured it was time to actually watch the SNES party videos, and so I did. I watched all three parts yesterday.
It was worth it.
Ben was so close on ActRaiser...
Also, that Home Alone stuff that Jeff did, hahahahahaha

I thought Wreckateer looked like it controlled just fine, apart from the moment you mentioned. It's no Steel Bats.

Having played a few hours I can say Dungeon Fighter Live is actually good fun. Admittedly it's a bit slow to get going, and Normal difficulty (which you have to play) is pretty dull.
Once you get into the higher difficulty for areas and unlock access to the crazy amount of RPG stuff though it's really cool. Been really enjoying accessing new powers, and there's an absolutely insane amount of loot. Then there's crafting and a bunch of other stuff on top of that.
Haven't watched the Quick Look, so don't know how far they got but it's definitely a game that doesn't show well during the first 20 mins or so, since you repeat stuff a lot and the Normal difficulty enemies barely have any AI.

Maybe it should be changed to "looks like a bad F2P game". There's been a healthy trend of quality F2P games lately, but the bad ones are still their own special brand of terrible.

Anyone else watch QLs for specific games in order to motivate them to play those games? For example, right now skyrim and GT5 are the active games in rotation. Yet I can't get myself to sit down and play them (note: I actually do want to play them). I'm planning on going back and watching the skyrim QL to get myself in the mood.
I use QLs in this manner fairly often.

More often I go back and watch them after I've started playing a game (if I'm LTTP) just to see what their impressions were at the time.

I do this too. I often skip quick looks to stay spoiler-free and then watch them after i'm done with the game.

how did neither of them comment on the music in this.
Quick Look EX: Dyad (Brad/Vinny + Creators, 36:56)
I have no idea what is going on: The Game. This game is tripping balls like crazy.

I actually want them to do a Corpse Party Quick Look to help me decide whether I should finally buy it. Plus I'm sure watching Brad/Vinny or Vinny/Jeff play that game would be great to watch.

That remix level was pretty crazy.
Well, I'm sort of giggling over here after hearing my name in that quick look.

Honestly I thought we'd got over these pretentious style over substance indie games a few years ago. But here we are.
There is so much more to Dyad than the visuals. The game itself is an awesome psychedelic racing game, and as you get through the game it gets progressively harder and harder. Its totally a real game, and not just a bunch of trippy colours.
How is this style over substance when the game is very clearly skill and highscore based? It's almost like saying Tetris is style over substance.

Really? From what I'm seeing it looks like a visualizer masquerading as a videogame.
Not looking hard enough then.
It does look like that at first glance, i'll admit. But its actually a pretty awesome game. The colour matching gameplay and boost mechanics make it just so much fun to play. Also, chasing scores on the leaderboards is kind of addictive...
So is it like Audiosurf then?

I don't see that.
