Basically
I actually ran a campaign through the orignal Dark Corners of the Earth setting for Call of Cthuhlu IRL
The video game didn't quite do it justice
Lot of stuff they could have done, but they were rushed
I think every Lovecraft game since Dark Corners has been in development hell for over a decade
They had planned a whole series of Cthuhlu games after Dark Corners relative success
Even had trailers for some
@Wraff Amnesia DD was super lovcraftian.
Yes, it was. The elements were definitely there and it was a good game
@Wraff amnesia is horror done right.
Still, I really want a legitimate investigative Cthuhlu mythos game
And not just gore porn like outlast.
If only to satisfy my fanboyism
Outlast had so much going for it, but they fucked it up royally
They came up with some cool ideas and mechanics
They could have made a much more interesting game than they did, but instead of actually trying to make a legitimately creepy and atmospheric horror game, someone said "HEY LET'S GET A BUNCH OF NAKED PEOPLE AND CUT THEIR FACES UP! IT'S SCARY RIGHT!?"
Silent Hill was the only survival horror game I ever actually liked. Most of the others in that genre are just kinda dumb.
Silent Hill had depth
There was a lot more going on than what you were initially presented with, and there were subtleties and symbolism in everything
As a horror game, I didn't find it very scary as much as I did grotesque, but the writing was top notch for the first three games at least
Konami is doing a fine job of fucking itself
If they don't want to give creative control over their games over to what little talent they still have left, then let them die
Dumb japs think apps are future of gaming
Thankfully capcom learned and RE7 was bretty gud.
I didn't like RE7
It came off as really silly
Moreso than the other games in the series
Maybe because it wasn't as cartoony looking as the previous games
I pretty much just lost all suspension of disbelief during the fight with Daddy in the garage when he gets in the car and starts trying to run you over in that tiny garage
I just really liked the move to first person. I find it so clastrophobic and terrifying.
vidya is the nigger stepchild of storytelling
Not necessarily
But most of the time, yes
Its gotten worse the more diverse the industry.
And the more mainstream as they have to dumb it down for normies.
Yeah, turns out that not having a target audience means you have a shitty game
Go figure
Generic blobs are not appealing to anyone over the age of 12
But tbf most of the gamer fanbase are cancerous materialistic nihilists.
Like I said
