This is the worst horror 'game' in recent memory.

>>375990806
How about you prove that you're right

>>375990921
>Enemy pops out
>Chases you
>Get to a door
>Door is locked
>Die
>Repeat this 5 times until you find the right place to run, which usually is a stupid ass little cranny that you couldn't possibly find without having to fucking search carefully and a million times
Also
>It's so fucking dark.
>Like, really dark.
>The original Outlast wasn't ever this fucking dark. Even with Night Vision on, the fucking part where you're in the forest of sick people is fucking terrible.

And also
>DUDE.
>CHRISTIANITY LE EVIL CATHLOIC RELIGION
>LMAO JONES TOWN
>Generic hallucinations with generic boring monster with tenticles with a silly walk animation

Such a fucking disappointment. Outlast 1 is my favorite horror game and this game somehow managed to fuck it all up.

>>375990921
This. The burden of proof lies on the person who is proposing an opinion as fact.

>>375990806
I think you haven't played far enough into the game.

My biggest gripe is it's way too fucking dark. Like unplayable dark at a lot of points. But after the first 2-3 hours the story picks up and you get really roped in. I wish the fight between the two groups was more fleshed out (I had to read specifics online) but like I said, after the first chapter it gets much better.

>>375991137
What the game needed was some kind, any kind of combat system

>>375991609
This. I'm so fucking tired of running sims.
Just let me at least defend myself.

I liked the story and setting. The flashes between the rural mountain area youre in and the catholic school kept things from getting stale unlike the original where you're stuck in the asylum the whole time. Being outdoors added some natural lighting so you don't have to use your night vision constantly which was nice. Also I find it funny that people are actually offended by the Christianity aspect of the story like this shit is actually real, it's a fucking working of fiction, stop being babies.

So is this game still a battery finder simulator because everything was pitch fucking black and you couldn't even do anything without night vision? That got old real fast.

>mfw game developers think a running simulator is a good idea for a video game

Are there people who don't just pirate these games? I remember FEAR being a fucking blast to play, why did everything turn into this pussy fest? You can make me shit my pants and make me have a good time with some decent gameplay, it's not impossible.

>>375991609
If you add combat to a horror game it immediately becomes not scary. Look at RE7

>>375990806
I liked it. Here proved you wrong.

We shoukd at least be able to stun the fuckers for some seconds, even if it has a long ass cooldown

>>375990806
It really is quite bland. And they focused way too much on chase scenes

>>375991482
I FINISHED the fucking game though.
It was so fucking annoying that I couldn't even fucking get into it. I couldn't get invested enough. Everytime I got invested, I would get stuck in the endless loop of
>oh no run from scary man!
>die to the same death animation over and over again
>look now im not scared of it anymore, im just annoyed
Also, the fucking midget with a bow who one shots you was bullshit.

>Starts off genuinely spooky
>These folks are fucking crazy
>Suddenly six armed guy interrupts your childhood memory moments, oh fuck
>It didn't actually exist
>JESUS EVERYWHERE
>Get nailed on the hands and put on the cross like Jesus by a hunchback and his rider, what
>Crazy diseased people everywhere
>Out of nowhere, earlier and later, you get random as fuck plagues such as locusts and blood rain.
>Suddenly end of the world maybe
>All those awkward moments of being back in school, including the creepy rapist priest

The ending was so very terrible. It was good up until the mines and the crazy Heretics. The whole thing about Jessica was stupid too, since it didn't have a fucking thing to do with the story other than it being the dead childhood friend of the main duo, unless I missed an important detail.

>>375990806
it was pretty bad, I refunded it in less than an hour of playing it

>>375992864
liking a game is not valid objective criticism, nor is it a legit way to have fun.

>>375992694
FEAR wasn't one bit scary, precisely because your character was too fucking powerful and also because you weren't really facing monsters.

Alien Isolation had the best mix of horror+combat

>>375992694
FEAR wasn't horrifying, especially once you realized most spooky bits don't actually harm you
The ninja guys were the spookiest

>>375992694
Fucking Silent Hill also did this ages ago too, at least include a weak knife, a 2x4, a pipe so the player can fight back, something.

>>375992724
Nope, not even remotely true.
Dead Space 1&2, Resident Evil 1-4, Silent Hill 1-4, Siren 1, 2 & Blood Curse and dozens more manage it just fine.

>>375993267
>Alien Isolation had the best mix of horror+combat
I think RE7 did it well, aswell.

>>375993229
>you're having fun wrong!

>>375992724
Then explain Alien Isolation

>>375992724
I think we should've been able to fight against the crazy rednecks, be be forced to hide and run whenever you encountered the monster and lady with the big cross

>>375993643

Haven't played it so I can't say

>>375992724
Dying to the same exact enemy and watching the same exact death animation until you find exactly where you're supposed to go is just plain annoying though.

So lemme get this straight.
All those machetes and shovels lying everywhere and Blake ignores them but keeps his camera glued to his hand?

>>375993992
Its an inherent flaw of heavily scripted games like these. Like
>Fall off platforms, restart checkpoint
>The scripted scene has you falling off the platform anyways

>>375992724

And artificial protagonist incompetence isn't scary either.

>>375992724
False, it is basic human instinct to fight back, especially if escape is not an option, this is true even in the face of overwhelming power or numbers.

These running simulator snoozefests are littered with objects that a person would typically use to defend themselves with, such as sticks, tools, shovels or even bricks. Yet none of these objects are interactable, which breaks immersion and comes off as unnatural, unrealistic and forced.

>>375994127

sounds like 80% of people at antifa protests

>>375994127
>>375994372
look, nerds, most people can't fight, they can't even throw a punch

I dunno why people want mary suing out the ass in every single game they place

>>375990806
>ending is dlc bait
who the fuck thought this was a good idea

>>375994582
The most annoying part of all was that Blake actually was grabbed about like, 3 times by Marta, the long bitch with the fucking pick axe, and he fucking KICKED HER IN THE FACE AND SHE ACTUALLY STUMBLED BACK LONG ENOUGH FOR HIM TO RUN...

WHY CAN'T HE JUST FIGHT?

>>375994717
>you need to know how to fight to stab someone
My brother called, turns out the scar on my arm didn't happen cause he doesn't know how to fight.

>>375994717
How about you explain this.
>>375994751
And also explain why Blake can magically fucking CLIMB UP LEDGES AND HOLD HIS BODY WEIGHT ON HIS HANDS AFTER THEY HAD NAILS DRIVEN THROUGH THEM AND HE WAS CRUCIFIED.

This game is fucking retarded. Get over it.

>>375991137
>CHRISTIANITY LE EVIL CATHLOIC RELIGION

That's true though

>>375994717
Lets play this game anon
An crazy guy with a machete is breaking into your house, what the fuck do you do?

>>375994372
Or a protagonist who makes little quips here and there that totally break immersion.

Modern horror games are such a joke.
It's telling that an action RPG series does better ambience and scary atmosphere becausr you're afraid to die and lose your souls, humanity and blood echoes

>>375994848
Run for me gun

>>375994860

This shit fucked me over on outlast 1

The protag gets all sarcastic after his encounter with the crazy doc, like when the doc gets squished he says some shit like "How to make doc juice: Squeeze", right after he had his fucking fingers cut off

>>375994582

not entirely true, if i know i can kill an enemy the game becomes much less scary.

This was the case in the evil within.

Honestly the worst feeling in a game is being chased, and hearing the guy behind you, i hate that feeling personally and outlast 1 was chock full of it.

Survivalist strength. He probably pushed through the pain after being in such a shitty situation.

Not like it matters, because the game most likely ends with him dying/getting possessed anyways. These games are often very unoriginal.

Completely agree, outlast already did non combat based stealth horror better anyway. The only thing outlast 2 has on it's side is Visual design, the later areas look fucking awesome but the game play is such boring shit.

Also blake is the biggest fucking pussy, you're telling my he couldn't wrestle a pitchfork away from one of the scrawny psycho's?

He just said he can't possibly defend himself whatsoever, so he'll crouch walk away and if caught or cornered will stand there motionless until he's killed, can't you read?

And if he comes across any number of sharp implements like sickles, farm tools, shovels or literally anything else like a bottle, rock, or a 2x4 he will not pick them up.

Remember when even lesser horror games were still good?

>>375995010
A happy ending or a neutral one where the protagonist escapes the nightmare is too much I guess.

>>375994914
Of course, anyone wouldnt just stand there and let themselves get killed right?

>>375995082
Its still retarded for horror games though that this is the trend, absolutely nobody would think of grabbing anything and at least fight back when cornered.

Silent Hill Shattered Memories got loads of shit for that.

>>375990806
i dunno about worst but it is a massive disappointment.
I didn't find it scary at all. It was exhausting with how many chases there were. A fucking ridiculous amount.
None of the antagonists were memorable, compared to the first game that had Gluskin, the Twins, Traeger, etc
the story was pretty mediocre.

On and On....

Come on kids, try to enjoy a game instead of just saying how horrible it is.

When the video game part is extremely limited, its hard not to focus on the little things.

>>375996662

Well it's was pretty narrative heavy but you had to hunt down all the notes to get a lot of it.

Interesting narrative/plot but I agree the execution was lacking compared to the first.

You have to admit that when it started raining blood, it looked amazing.

>>375996480

Survival tool, my bad.

Honestly, Blake seemed to be a pussy whipped Delta male; makes sense he'd be too scared to fight.

He couldn't save Jessica and the way his wife talked down to him kinda confirms it.

>>375992724

Horror games aren't necessarily supposed to be 'scary'. You don't need to be scared to be horrified.

Fiction is very rarely genuinely scary.

Someone couldn't evolve after their previous successful horror game

>>375999901
Soma and Outlast II were developed by completely different companies.

Also OP Outlast II isn't a shitty half done unity game so it's physically incapable of being the worst horror game at any time.

>>376000035
I'm saying Red Barrels couldn't evolve after Outlast while Frictional could after Amnesia, ya dingus

>>375994848
Grab my mossberg 500 shotgun out of my closet and kill that motherfucker

>>375991609
Lets say a combat system would be available throughout the game, but lost later after you get crucified

Would have worked for me.

>>376000394
But Soma was worse than The Dark Descent, which was worse than Black Plague, which was worse than Overture.

>>376000596
Wow, you opinions are so unique and old-school. You must be a really cool person.
