The horror genre died long ago, but now it is 100% unsalvageable because no one understands music subtly.

It's always over the top garbage now. ALWAYS.

Niggers, you don't have to always have some fucking music playing in a horror game. Learn to space out the fucking musical cues holy fuck.

For all the shit Skyrim's quests get, one did get a pretty good chuckle out of me.
It's the one where you have to find karliah. As you enter the final room something hits you and you're paralyzed. Just after the screen goes black, your quest updates.
>Quest Completed: Find Karliah

The mental image of the dragonborn mumbling a slurred "found her..." before blacking out is pretty good, all things considered.

That's because they had dynamic music. Along with the AI director, there was a music director entity that was there for each player.

All the musical cues gave you a heads up on what was happening, on what spawned, and what's in store for you.

Once the game starts doing this I just stop taking it seriously because it's not really my choice it's predetermined. What a good game would do is lead you to do the wrong thing and hint at it just enough that it's easy to miss if you're not paying attention.

>>259702423

Well, OFF did it rather well. The game starts by making the distinction between the player and the person controlling them. Even if YOU don't want to kill him, he IS in your way (literally blocking a train by standing on the tracks) and the player character has no qualms about removing him forcefully.

To bring up the WarGames cliche: The only winning move is not to play.

In the new Kirby there's a part at the end where you get the Hypernova (which just super-upgrades your inhaling abilities). You start inhaling what were previously mini-bosses and at a certain point you inhale like four at a time (which always instantly kills them).

At the end of that level, you go through a door and the first BIG has-his-own-fucking-stage boss comes back to fight you and fuck you up and you just inhale him AND his fucking Life Bar.

You EAT THE BOSS'S LIFE BAR. HIS FUCKING HUD.

There should be a horror game that takes a screenshot of your desk right before you start it, and when you get near the end it pretends to freeze and close. Then, when you move around your mouse, something spooky happens and your desk starts corrupting and shit, and it becomes a slow transition from your corrupted desk, to being back at the game.

Yep. Stuck out in a field when it happens? May as well marvel at the skies turning into a roiling, blood-red soup while the world around you nearly shakes itself apart and floods with lethal radiation. Modded STALKER=GOTYAY

Red clouds storming in like dye in water, purple lightning staining the skies.. I finished the game without ever watching it, but it's nice to know that for some stalkers, the last thing they see is that beautiful act of nature.

That would apply if the people helping you were your friends.

I'm saying out of left field. Maybe dropping a few hints that your battle changed some of the bosses' minds, but more or less like, "we know the world is going to get fucked over if you die so we're going to help you kill our boss damn it."
