you should actually play it

the jokes are actually funny, and super smart and it gets charming as time goes on. the jokes also get smarter as time goes on.

I'm good. The marketing turned me off and I'm not really open to paying for a chance to change my mind
 
What the fuck. How about looking at him and seeing The Operative.

had to google that.....serenity aint shit (same with firefly)

i get that christoph waltz is a bit same old same old in his roles but the man speaks with such charisma that it's pretty much guaranteed that he will be at least entertaining in this film.

he's reliable. chiwetel's a good actor but i guess it just didn't pan out.

TEW doing well is funny tbh. It's not even survival horror, it's a watered down RE4 without the fun. But it's whatever. All the ones wanting that type of game have gotten it, maybe now they will stop crying about the genre being 'dead'.

But that would imply RE4 was fun to begin with.

But tomb raider reboot was actually good by most people's standards. TEW is a clunky mess trying to leech off what made both REmake and 4 good but failing miserably. Despite the brilliant ideas here and there, it still has the same faults and disorganization of RE6 campaigns but much to manys disappointment, without that games beautiful controls.

Actually, it's a lot like Revelations. And not surprising, both are heralded as survival horror where they are not.

I'm glad this happened though. Now people can see that even the creator of the genre has lost touch. Maybe now they will stop nagging at Capcom and Konami for RE and SH's faults. Somewhere down the line, the genre lost it's essence. Sucks, but what can you do?

you slide down slides, you have to cut yourself from being tied up upside down somewhere.

man all 3rd person singleplayer games use the same gimmicks lol.

Eh not sure about that Ishi, I'm sure the folks in the TEW thread still worship TEW as the second coming. It's like arguing about GotG to the chriss pratt avatars, it gets nowhere.

But that would imply RE4 was fun to begin with.

RE4 is boring as shit.

Good to play once, but once only after that it's boring as fuck, even more so in New game+

I fucking hate RE4

JC gain my respect when he decided to go rogue and talk bad about TEW and the fans.

lol X-Treme.

I dunno, I can't hate on Sunset Overdrive's humor. Guess I'm still a 16 year old at heart.

Yeah I accept that it could just be me being old and bitter

But then I remember I play games like guilty gear and god hand and enjoy aesthetics like team fortress 2 and Overwatch.

There's a way to be fun without being so in your face and obnoxious about it.

I swear if the end of RE is RE5/6 and the last bastion for survival horror is The Evil Within and Five Nights at Freddy's then lol the genre is dead.

Project Scissors can't come soon enough

Ishi, you good fam? The bear stuff getting to you? Between TEW slander and your mortal beef with the slap threads, you've been real animated as of late.

I don't know why people keep making NPD predictions based on nothing but their hardware/software preference rather than reality.

Don't nobody give a fuck about SO.

And nobody gives a fuck about price cuts to the Xbone.

I do? Sorry guys haha

I don't know how I feel about this tbh. I'm not mad but I'm not pleased either. A lot about TEW doesn't appeal to me but it's good to see a horror game do well.

I like in your face! I wish every game was like those 90s busta rhymes Mountain Dew commercials :p

I hate shit that tries to go too serious. I don't play games for that.

Survival Horror has the opposite problem of action games

Where action games require more time, money and effort than they're worth to get right, I think Survival Horror is a genre that just doesn't work in the modern big budget space.

It's a genre where less is more. They need those broken controls and experimental mechanics. You can't make a scary game that plays like every other gamen coming out these days

There's a middle ground!!

It just takes more effort than being completely over the top and self referential. (Rip platinum games story modes)

I dunno...I think my limit is shit like Goat Simulator. While a good game (I love Coffee Stain, Sanctum is my jam, etc.) the whole knocking on Sim games just gets dull.

I'm still coping with what happened recently. I know that's why I'm really short patient and fickle. Sorry guys.
 
Cam quailty gif for a film that been out for like 12 years? really?

I just post'em man. I didn't even know the name of it. I originally typed "hug it out Ari Gold" and got this half way down the page after I remembered. Ari says "Let's hug it out bitch", and didn't want to come off like to Ishi.

aren't all horror games walking simulators now?

Clock Tower could be considered that and I wouldn't care cause that game is good.

Walking Simulator seems more like an insult than a label. Hate how that phrase got coined by Gone Home

Fuck no. lol. No, they don't. They just need the dedication and treatment that action games get, to go get them to be good. Good writing, atmosphere, and mechanics.

Horror PC FPS/A games never had to deal with "broken" controls, unless it was a console port.

Jump scares, trash lore, gateway into furry pornography.

Only reason it blew up in popularity would have to be because of LPers hyping it as scary. Like Outlast.

LOL.

I hate unearned jump scares in horror movies, so I was hesitant. If that's not the case then cool, maybe at another time. Seems like it would get old fast.

Arguably survival horror games have always been virtual haunted houses

But they used to have more interesting and experimental play mechanics and really strange and bizarre stories that made them compelling.

You say that but

You're not ever going to scare me in a game where I have a loaded gun as an effective weapon

Sunset Overdrive looked like a bunch of 40 something white dudes sat down at a table, turn their baseball caps backwards, and google searched memes and stereotypes about video games to be hip with the kids.

Not completely directly directed at you, but i find that a lot of the time the people making these statements apply to that description more than the group they are accusing.

I'm thinking of asking for a short ban to pull myself together tbh. My friends have even voiced their concerns and of course my sister and mom.

They've said I have been very withdrawn and quiet. Sounds like a coping mechanism.
