The Socks-Out: Sleeping is mission impossible.

Bring them to Racoon City and I'll deal with them for you.

Har har, I love how the Japanese always use that. She's always the stepsister, kid that your parents adopted, or something, but never the real sister.

Yeah, I noticed that as well. It's always like that. Oh hey, we're not actually related by blood, so it's totally okay if I fuck your brains out!

would you be so kind as to give me directions since it was wiped off every map...... i live in the UK btw

Maybe developers should realize that it's difficult to invoke fear and terror in the player when you give him A GUN THAT SHOOTS FUCKING SAWS.

And yet it's not always the case that being powerful decreases the horror.

I feel The Suffering was among the best horror games of the last gen. You pretty much spend the entire game ripping and tearing the various monsters.

And you're clearly aware of the likes of Fatal Frame and Undying. Neither of which had particularly squishy protagonists.

Condemned did a pretty good job of horror for the most part. And combat there didn't feel too one sided.

And who can possibly forget Silent Hill 3, which practically turned the series into a shooter via copying RE3's style. To the point where when it came time to do a sequel they pretty much eliminated firearms entirely due to the complaints. Hilariously, it didn't really affect the horror too much, since it was about as "scary" as the game it's a direct sequel to.

And just to go in a weird direction: Manhunt is sometimes pointed to as an extremely tense game that generates a bit of terror and uneasiness in the player. However, once you figure out how to play it you more or less turn into the predator. Cue beaning enemies with their friend's severed head and watching them freak out. But on the reverse, fucking Pigsy.

[Fer!]

Evans really liked Manhunt. That worried me.

[Gare]

Yep, it wasn't my intention to generalize stuff. I mostly just mean Dead Space 1, which I didn't find especially scary.

But yeah, you bring up good examples. Haven't played The Suffering, though.

I also like the general concept that Fatal Frame used. Getting more points/doing more damage with the camera means you'll have to let the fucker come as close as possible. It's like the game encourages you to shit your pants.

i agree with all of the above points... a horror game should unnerve the player... make them not want to sleep at night i also like what you said about silent hill 3 i thought it had to be one of the worse ones and once you did a new game plus.... you had guns with infinite ammo talk about wanting to breeze through the game, i am yet to play manhunt i probably should get onto that

Obligatory mention of Penumbra and Amnesia goes here.

i think the only thing i didnt like about fatal frame was it was pretty much the same thing, it didnt really progress (granted i havent completed it yet) but im not inspired to really...

[Bennieboi20]

also what horror game do you think i should go for next... ive been needing a good pants shitting so what do you think the scariest games for you were?

[Nemkoon]

Stir fry......

[Nemkoon]

Dino Crisis. You could probably get it off PSN store.
Also, Amnesia, and Eternal Darkness

i played a trial of Amnesia OnLive but it was only 30 mins and my streaming sucks coz im using wireless internet, but im looking into buying it, and ive not tried eternal darkness gonna youtube it in a min

[Raype]

Depends, you have a younger sister?

I don't. So that's why reading doujins of it at fakku does nothing to me.

NOTHING.

I don't really care either.

Although I think you may have just added evidence to a point I made previously.

The only reason the little sister incest thing is used so heavily is because so many japanese happen to lack little sisters and are often an only child.

People who actually have siblings rarely entertain that sort of idea.

Like how you probably don't think brocest is cool.

Is that show any good, by the way? Seems like something I'd hate, but who knows. You should only judge shit after watching a few epiosdes of it.

See: Magica Madoka.

What? That was a really cute magical girl anime. And that adorable little QB running around. And Mami being all mentor like to the girls It was so lovely.

Har har, I love how the Japanese always use that. She's always the stepsister, kid that your parents adopted, or something, but never the real sister, way to hover around the main focus of the series, guys.

Sometimes they use it right, however.

But other times.... it's....unsettling.

To name an example, I was playing through this terrible VN that shall remain nameless.

During the sister route, he has a flashback to a conversation he had with his mom.

Turns out, they were step siblings. And she was talking about how he might grow to have "feelings" for her, and how that was normal and okay. That he should always stay by his sister's side.

Suddenly, I WTF'd hard at the realization his (step) mom just gave him permission to boink her daughter.

Creepier still when I realize they're orphans. His mother died when he was 7.

His sister is 3 years younger, playing with the whole "older sibling is a senior, the younger is a junior" thing.

Count the number of levels to the creepiness here.

I haven't even watched that, and I restarted watching FMA Brotherhood. If I managed to watch the whole Persona Trinity Soul in a week, I think I'll get through this one quite quickly.

...you should, uh, move out.

Do so. It's quite good. And ends on a pretty appropriate note.

Yeah, I noticed that as well. It's always like that. Oh hey, we're not actually related by blood, so it's totally okay if I fuck your brains out!

And yet we still find instances of blood related twincest.

Dammit japan.

Oh wait, it's yuri twincest?

I'll allow it.
