Ib is a great horror game if you don't mind pixel graphics.

If you haven't played it yet Outlast 1 is a good horror game, pretty memorable with some good characters and a very eerie atmosphere.

I'd also recommend eternal darkness for the Gamecube, great game. Its not as much of a hidden gem as it used to be so you may have played it but if not definitely put it on your list.

If you want something more lighthearted but still "spooky" I'd recommend Spooky's Jump Scare Mansion. It's pretty short and fun, I like to replay it around Halloween.

Devil Came Through Here trilogy. Especially Cat Lady and Downfall.

Pre-rendered backgrounds Anonymage 02/11/24 (Sun) 07:43:26 No.61367 [Reply]

Pre-rendered backgrounds with 3D assets should've remained until at least the 2010s for certain genres. I'm pretty sure much of the love for the golden age of Final Fantasy (VII- IX) and the early Resident Evil games is due to the highly detailed nature of pre-rendered graphics. The worlds depicted felt more alive and lived in, meaning kids could imagine themselves in it more easily.

It's just a factor that nobody really picks up on when discussing these games. I remember my Grandma watching me play through the Winhill sequence in Final Fantasy VIII and going on about how beautiful the village looked. I don't think you could've had anything comparable in detail in full 3D for at least fifteen years, and not anything as consistently pretty over the course of a full game until around today.

Final Fantasy X was sort of a graphical step down in a sense of so much being plain, flat and ugly. So much so that when you step into a pre-rendered background house, you're taken back by how detailed that is compared to the ugly flatness of the outside.

>And why did the point & click genre die out?
Most were really really bad and even the good ones didn't sell that well.
With very few exceptions they have always had relatively poor sells compared to most other kinds of games.

As for why modern games don't use prerendered backgrounds as much, while you still see them in indie titles on occasion the main reason is the technology has moved on and now you don't have the same hardware limitations that prevent you from actually rendering stuff in the distance instead of faking it with a painting. You can have as many complex polygons within a scene as you want provided your programing is decent. Prerendering has always been a cope for technical limitations.

I do remember some of the areas from ff8. Great salt lake, Tomb of the Unknown King, fisherman's harbor, Lunatic Pandora, Esthar city under attack. The victory arch at Deling…

Resident evil on the harder settings where you're expected to dodge zombies is miserable because of the camera angles. Point and click doesn't really resemble modern games in the way we think of them and often had quite bizarre object interactions that were rarely intuitive. They'd often lock you into encounters where you couldn't even get the necessary items through backtracking without an earlier save state.

the only games I've been able to tolerate interacting with strangers in lately has been those pve shooters like darktide, helldivers or edf
there's some tension in so far as the pressure to perform, but there are difficulty options in all of these games that basically let you hover exactly where you're confident

From my understanding, if you're seeking human interaction you're not a schizoid. A schizoid would be someone who doesn't need/want human interaction (almost) entirely.

i know it's an unpopular opinion but i liked the first one a lot more. the gameplay is simple, too simple perhaps but i never felt like dropping it like i did multiple times with 3 (i got bored after fighting the farmers in indonesia or something). the dismount and capture stuff feel superflous, and the limited party size is a massive downgrade. the first game had a much more compelling cast and story too.

I want to play neotokyo° but no one plays it…there's this steam group that organize parties every weekends and gather together to play the game. I also want to do the same but with my fellow wizzies: I want to create a group on steam and schedule so american wizzies and europeans wizzies and aussies wizzies play all together, so we could all play together. I was thinking of sunday, no wizzies work on sunday

what do you think of my idea? I think it's a good idea

There used to be one group hosting games at certain times…. 10-12 people. It's not a great game, go heavy and just walk real slow slicing the pie around corners with an AR. Better game is Project Reality for miltactics and that's also kind of shit

Just finished pentiment

This game is one of the first games where the mystery was not as important as learning the history and bonding with the characters in the game in fact when the twist at the end was revealed, I didn’t really care for it too much. I just wanted to talk to the towns people more. They are written so well and the dialogue is so realistic that I was completely immersed into being a 14th century peasant for the entire game.

All in all, another classic from Obsidians Josh sawyer and company

Finished playing Zortch
Pretty good retro-style FPS. The default normal difficulty was a bit too easy and the game feels a little too generous with ammo but enemies are much more mobile than most singleplayer shooters I've played and there are lots of surprising features like enemies being weak to certain weapon types, certain parts of enemies like armor blocking bullets, certain enemy types infighting and friendly fire being on for enemies, etc. that you don't really see in a lot of these indie shooters.
Level design was good but I do wish there was a bit more variety visually, one of my favorite levels was one where you go through caves and come upon an alien burger joint in the first episode. But after that most of the levels just feel like industrial mazes/factories with a few exceptions. It would've been neat to have like an alien city level or something. I did manage to sequence break 1 level by stacking objects which was pretty cool.

Psychopomp

Free little indie game that I enjoyed 100%ing quite a bit.
It's weird but not in a lolRandumXD way.
It's got great atmosphere but isn't pretentious.
And it's short enough that you don't even get the chance to get bored.

I highly recommenced it. It cost nothing, will run on damn near any system built within the last 15 years, and doesn't even take much time to do a full playthrough.

Rabbits are cute. Succubi (2d) can be cute. Babies are cute. Unless he's a still on all fours, a boy isn't to be seen as "cute" no matter how much like a baby rabbit succubi he is drawn as. Not calling boys cute in spite of their appearance is a matter of respect for the male sex. Boys and men can be many things, from cool to creepy to scary to just plain stupid. To call them cute is to degrade not only the male himself but also that word, which is reserved for those deserving of and [/b]reliant on[/b] endearment from larger beings.

Legend Of Zelda (pre-Wii). Final Fantasy. Mother series. Megaman. Many young males characters are in these games, main and supporting. They are diverse in appearance and behavior, but none are designed to be 'cute'. These games predate the mentally challenged design philosophy of androgynizing everyone by turning cute witchies in to buff succubi and cool guys in to "cute" boys. Shame on Toby "Fucks Dogs" Fox. for pandering to such mentally maladjusted men - and succubi who degrade men and boys - with such labels and pet names by drawing "cute boiz UwU". It's infantilism. And yes, this cretin frequently elates at the fact that people recognize his character design's purposeful queerness and age-play.

That makes a lot of sense. I'm still a fairly young apprentice, the thought would have never crossed my mind unless you informed me. I'll stop demeaning boys by refering to them as if they were pets or toddlers. Thank you.
