The Good Doctor Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 RE2 kinda spoiler Screw that first licker. I spotted him before the game wanted me to and naturally started shooting. But it didn’t do any damage because he apparently only activated when I got closer so the scripted jump scare could occur. Boo Ah well. I reloaded because I am not losing ammo to something like that. Bastard was tough as hell too. I hope they don’t become too common before I get a bazooka or something.

The Good Doctor Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I’ve had a crack at Amnesia Rebirth this week. Apparently I’m a little past halfway. I won’t spoil the story, but I’ll still put my thoughts so far in tags just in case. I’ve gotta say I’m not very impressed. The protagonist is constantly talking, which really takes me out of it. Like, you can be sneaking through the shadows with a monster nearby and she’ll still say out loud the most obvious shit. Like the player is just too dumb to figure things out without verbal help. An in-universe explanation is sort of given for this eventually, but it’s not a good one, imo. The horror is much cheaper than Dark Descent. Not even close. There are tons of obnoxious screen flashing jump scares in this game, which I found disappointing as I thought Frictional made it a point to avoid relying on these sorts of cheap unearned scares in their games. The fear system is just a worse version of DD’s insanity system. The monster appearances (so far, at least) are much more heavily scripted. I won’t say anything on the story until I’ve played it to the end. I think it could still be alright and it does feel like there are lots of pieces to a potentially interesting puzzle. That said, so far it has been very confusing (more so than DD or SOMA) and I hope more of the threads start coming together soon. There is a love story as the B plot though which I feel the game banked way too heavily on us caring about. Gameplay is pretty standard but there are a couple mechanics that I found very odd and not exactly in a good way. But they’re tied to the story so I won’t spoil them. Anyone who plays it will figure out what I’m talking about pretty early on. It’s weird how much of a downgrade this game feels like compared to the original, since it seemed like they were hoping to recapture some of its uniqueness. I’m more interested in the world it’s building than I was in the world in Machine for Pigs, but I overall I could see them being on a similar level for me, which is disappointing. I hope the story really wows me in the second half, because I feel like that’s what it’ll take. 1 1 Quote It's always nice when your writing gets reinforced by the canon after you come up with it.

BigBossBalrog Posted October 27, 2020 Author Share Posted October 27, 2020 Played a quick one. It's called Murder House, by a Dev called Puppet Combo. They make intentionally corny, cheesy slasher games that look and play like a Silent Hill/Resident Evil game, while feeling and sounding like Slasher knock off movies you'd find at a rental store. Pretty good fun. Murder House had alot more effort and production then his other games. It's like one massive escape room with a slasher chasing around, and some story elements. Chased by the Easter Ripper, a Serial Killer that dresses like a bunny This time he had the budget to add custom death animations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
