One word:
Thunderpoon
It's similar to Dying Light, where I would encourage people to rush to the grappling hook ASAP, and then start playing the game proper.

Is Xpadder still the best option to play games like Soul Reaver with a controller? And is there a free option or something?
The official site wants me to pay $11 for it, not sure if I want it so much.

Oh gawd, just read the (considerably old for internet standards, I know) TW3 Hearts of Stone Wot I Think on RPS and discovered that they added motherfucking giant spiders in it.
Goddamit, zkylon please send an email to CDPR saying just: "oh fuck off would you"
Related: is there some kind of modding thingy going on with TW3?
I'd love to have the chance to replace giant spiders with fluffy grizzly bears, even tho when I did it in Skyrim, those bears crawling around with sort-of-spidery animations where as creepy as their original counterparts if not even more. :'(

Yup, I bought it, but I am waiting until I have 2k games before redeeming them
why? redeem two, buy Zesty, redeem the rest.
Create a mod that replaces the spiders with Bing Bong from Inside Out.

Same. ~20 hours in (I'm frustratingly s-l-o-w at games and the screenshot mode is chewing time, too). Have almost cleared Jeet's territory, but have barely touched the story missions, as far as I can tell. No archangel thingy yet, and I think I'm verging on some screen burn-in from having 'Drive to Gutgash's stronghold' in the top corner for so long.
Thanks for the tip, Haunted! Duly noted.
Maybe some modders will release a no spider mod in the future like in skyrim.
i actually looked a bit into modding for this kind of thing but the problem is i can't really safely test for it and so i'm always gonna be paranoid about it which is basically same as doing nothing
no, the one in the picture is literally the exact kind that gives me most troubleThey are not that bad. The look like Endrega warriors. And you can handle them
i'll buy it then, no need to preorder something i cannot play

It's time to face your fears.
I have my reasons, and they are stupid >.<
I don't have phobia, just need better computer
that is still a phobia of low res, low fps and jaggies.
well, you said it yourself
sadly the whole thing of phobias is that you're crazy and u go to great lengths to avoid whatever it is that you fear
so u know, "face you fear", not gonna happen
just play witcha 1I don't have phobia, just need better computer
it's the best in the series anyways
What has always baffled me is that all these devs working on RPGs or horror stuff, never seem to acknowledge arachnophobia.
I mean, it's not like it's a super rare condition. Like, I'm pretty sure the TW3 (or Skyrim, or HL2ep2, or whatever really) dev team statistically contains a bunch of arachnophobic people. I can't believe why those guys never stand up protesting against this shit.
They wouldn't even, I dunno, compromise their
shitty
And they could totally recycle a model already used somewhere else, and we wouldn't give a damn, as long as our games were, literally, bugs free.
LOL My PC got mad hot trying to play witcha 1, maybe I need to blow some dust off.
it's complicated, depends on many things, but it's likely there's no "cutoff point"
system shock 2, minecraft, resident evil, they're all very blocky and low res but they're in stressful scenarios so they're very unpleasant for me
i mean, i don't really blame them, but i wish they did care more for this stuff. a toggle that replaces them with something else would be nice, although at that point you wonder why isn't there something for snakes or some other commonly feared animal.
like, in new vegas i'm fine with the radscorpions and cazadores and crickets but i can't stand the roaches. i know lots of people with phobias, i know people that fear cats and pidgeons and dogs the same way i fear most insects, so i don't think it's super realistic of me to expect obs or beth to add toggles for each creature type, even tho i wish they should
Trypophobia is probably the worst. I refuse to believe that there are people that dont have it.

Can't have our gritty grimdark fantasy compromised. We must add all the spiders decapitations and other horrible shit.

You lot talking about your thousands of steam games and I'm sitting here with 24.

weird
tho that game was pretty taxing for its time, maybe it still is
i mean google that and you'll find really horrific shit
i dunno, i wouldn't subject myself to that anyways
all i've tried, which has been sort of effective, is exposure therapy, but never for too long because it made my life more miserable it already is. exposure therapy is as the name says just bit by bit exposing yourself to your phobia like maybe talking about your fear and making some drawings and then looking at some pictures on google and maybe watching a video and then seeing a toy and then maybe touching it etc etc. very slowly and carefully because it's all stressful and painful af.
it does help but you also need to be a stronger person than i am to survive it

The thing about that is the typical example pics used for it are gross anyway. If you see an eye or xyz bodyparts which has a hive in its place it's going to freak you out whether you have that phobia or not. It's a bit misleading.
Have you ever tried to do something about your arachnophobia?
Try this Zyklon http://www.amazon.de/Actionfigur-SIGMUND-FREUD-beweglichen-Gelenken/dp/B00I0N082O/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1444643644&sr=8-1&keywords=sigmund+action+figuren. Just talk a little with him and its done

Fuck chromatic aberration.
Yeah, I thought about that when I was writing the post, but still, I guess they could do it for the most common phobias.
I mean, fear of spiders, insects and snakes are pretty common so it would make sense to offer an option for them. Fear of cats? Not really, come on. Also because cats (etc.) seldom are presented as threatening in games, and you can easily avoid them as simple pieces of the background. Spiders, not so much, in that you are always forced to confront them, often in close combat in tight locations, just for the fun of adding more bothering to us phobics.
Unrelated: I'm starting to hear some weird noises coming from my case, like fans spinning, maybe not louder but differently than before.
I guess dirt, dust, cat fur and my very own resistance to keeping the house clean are to blame, so I started checking out how to properly clean the innards of my PC.
I'm aware of the DataVac thingamabob, but it's crazily expensive in Italy (like, the one available on Amazon.com for 59$, searched by replacing .com with .it shows an obscene 130 result).
So what's left is air compressed spray.
Only, I cannot understand how it would really work. I mean: I spray it around, dislocate the dust and... the dust would just settles back in a different place than before.
What am I missing?
I finished almost three times that number of games this year alone
feels so good to say that!
also if you'll visit this thread more often, 24 can be your weekly haul, if not more
only two days till our GOTY releases without any CA, are you excited enough?
Time for CA avatars again?
Wrapping up Picross NP Vol. 5, just so that I don't get rusty.
don't you dare!
I really ought to change my avatar back seeing as can't even conjure up the effort to carry on with MGSV right now. This year half of the things I've been looking forward too have been somewhat underwhelming. As long as AssCreed turns out okish then all is well as GTAV, PoE and Witcher III overdelivered for me.
Hey cool. Alight this doesn't really work for you or anyone using the dark them but I'm sure I've hurt a few peeps eyes.
