I loved Project Offset, the best DLC for Mass Effect 2 in my opinion. The story and gameplay/level design were really well done and offered something different than the rest of the game. I think Demon's Souls should be added to that last as well. It wasn't really a horror game but it was very dark and the fear of enemies lurking around the corner that could kill you at any second really added to the atmosphere, particularly in the swamp levels.
I think the reason the original Silent Hill and Resident Evil games were so scary is because horror was never really presented in that way before. Now there are a ton of games out there that look and play the same way; we have become pretty desensitized to that form of horror in games.
Haha I know, I was agreeing with you and ended up getting a bit carried away by making my comment longer than I intended. I agree with Amnesia as well, an excellent game that really knows how to do horror well. Penumbra games were good as well (made by the same developer) but not quite as scary in my opinion.
To be fair, Alan Wake was always promoted as a thriller, not a horror game. As for most of the games on this list, I don't believe they are overly scary. The reason for this is simple: most horror games have turned into shooters. Back in the day, you would be lucky to get a knife and maybe a puny gun with three bullets in it that wouldn't even be able to take out a single enemy. Now you have games like Dead Space that gives you virtually unlimited ammo with 8+ devastatingly overpowere...
This is an interesting article. I think most first person shooters have fallen into the trap of becoming what is expected of them. The first person experience is a way to add more immersion to the game by letting you feel like it is actually you in the game. This is about the extent of it. Everything else that "makes a good FPS" is superficial. It is almost expected that FPS will have minimal depth and a weak story, and that's "okay" with everyone because it offers non...
I am hoping for more meaningful co-op (this does NOT mean voice chat necessarily) in that you can actually have a co-op session that lasts more than a couple minutes. I am also hoping for more variety in environments and more environmental activity and puzzles. More armor sets are welcome as well.
I personally like how the story was done in Demon's Souls and don't really want Dark Souls to be bogged down with lengthy cutscenes and such, that's not what the game i...
It ran out of gas a decade ago...just with the FF games already.
I've been playing GTA and other video games since I was 8 years old. Oh no, I'm a violent psychopath with mental problems! Wait, no I'm not. Oops, looks like your theory doesn't hold up.
That's because my assumptions are based on logic, not stupid blind fanboy nonsense. If I hadn't said anything, this entire article would be full with Killzone 3 vs Crysis 2 fanboy fights, just like EVERY SINGLE other Crysis 2 article. See what I mean? It's logical to assume that, if it happened 100 times before, it would happen this time as well. I intended to stop it before it happened, and it looks like I succeeded (to some extent).
Yeah, seriously...I would only play it on the bus or train or something. The atmosphere would hardly be "scary". I would rather just play a horror game on a big screen in the dark...
I was simply pointing out that no matter what From Software said about the difficulty in Dark Souls, there would be an article saying that it's the wrong thing to do. You and I both know that; that's just how these things work. Devil's Advocate creates controversy, which in turn leads to more discussion and, dare I say, more site traffic.
You're an idiot, first off. I don't even own a 360, how can I be an Xbox fanboy? How does that even make sense? Why is it so hard for you morons to comprehend that someone who has a PS3 doesn't automatically lavish praise on every single exclusive that comes out? I have a mind of my own and look at games objectively, something you will NEVER be able to do. If a game is good, I will get it. If a game isn't, I wont. I am not just going to buy every Sony game that comes out and s...
You're right, considering I have NEVER (yes, absolutely NEVER) played a CoD game in my life, I have no idea about the story and don't care to. I am not basing the "weak story"
Stop being such a tool for Sony and actually think for yourself. Just because you like Sony doesn't mean every single game on the platform has an amazing story. Where is the logic in that? Every review I have read so far has said that it has an incredibly weak story. This is from ...
It's a fantastic game, really? I was under the impression it doesn't come out for over 2 weeks, how is it that you received an early copy? Where can I get one so I can play it and judge it for myself instead of being a stupid fanboy who automatically says it's fantastic without even playing it, simply because it's a Sony exclusive? Oops, there goes all your credibility.
This game looks like Gears mixed with that terrible Dark Void game...
Obviously no one mentioned it BECAUSE of what I said, just so they could throw it back in my face and say "HAHA UR DUM LOOK NO 1 EVEN SED N E THING ABT KILLZONE NUB". Chances are, the people pointing out the fact that nobody said anything about Killzone are the same ones who clicked on this article with the intention TO compared it to Killzone. God, don't you know how internet message boards work?
Rift doesn't have turned based mechanics. You don't take turns fighting your opponents. The combat is in real time, the only difference between it and TERA is that in TERA you have to aim your attacks and abilities with a reticule, whereas in Rift, your abilities automatically attack whatever enemy you have targeted (like virtually all MMOs).
TERA is gorgeous and the combat looks really fun, but I have a feeling that it might be a little too Korean for me...seeing 7 y...
Well let's see here...I haven't played the Crysis 2 demo, nor have I ever played a Halo or CoD game. Stop making stupid assumptions and pretending you know me based on your stupid fanboy stereotyping, you clearly fail at it. All I was doing was reminding people that the Killzone beta has issues as well BEFORE this turns into a Killzone vs Crysis article like every Crysis article on this site does. Learn how to read and stop making stupid assumptions if you want people to take your opi...
Uh...maybe you should actually wait for 2 and a half more weeks until the game is actually out and you can play it yourself before telling everybody they are wrong, idiot.
You're crying cause you got dumped by a black dude?
Gay.
