Bloodborne was so Lovecraftian! Like, they all had tentacles and weird alien shit on them

Not even close to Lovecraft. Didn't From back off those comparisons after people called them out since Lovecraft was a racist?

Bloodborne is literally the most Lovecraftian thing I've ever experienced. It honestly outdoes all of his stories in terms of Lovecraft-ness.
The man himself couldn't have done better.

>>385980629
>dreams are literal dimensions you can travel to
>the old ones have incomprehensible motives
>humanity is at the bottom of the food chain

The only thing bloodborne gets wrong is the fact that you can kill old ones. Even then Cthulhu, the dunwhich horror, the deep ones at Devils reef, and the old ones were mortal creatures that could die.

No video game really embodies any of the feeling of Lovecraft

Maybe something like Uninvited

Harsh, but dogs are still better

>>385981603
For a videogame to be Lovecraftian, you'd basically have to only show "shapes" and not entire critters
Then have the main character die, but don't show the death on the screen

how about you shut the fuck up since your surface scratching misunderstanding of it is the same as every single person who says anything is "lovecraftian"

no, that isn't what it's about at all, dolt.

>>385980703
When, long ago, the gods created Earth
In Jove's fair image Man was shaped at birth.
The beasts for lesser parts were next designed;
Yet were they too remote from humankind.
To fill the gap, and join the rest to Man,
Th'Olympian host conceiv'd a clever plan.
A beast they wrought, in semi-human figure,
Filled it with vice, and called the thing a Nigger.
-H.P. Lovecraft

You've never actually read a Lovecraft story, have you?

>>385981598
Do you really even kill them? You get the NIGHTMARE SLAIN message only a couple of times, once for killing an actual baby and once for killing Orphan, but Orphan was within a dream and the final cinematic says he pretty much just was freed to go back into the ocean. And Moon Presence only fights you if you're basically an old one yourself at this point.

but yes the idea of things dead but still dreaming is pretty much the entire essence of BB

>>385981598
I mean, they kinda just retreat further into dreams don't they? The baby and orphan were both dead but remained in the dream

>>385981804
I read about that too. Shit's pretty legit

>>385981442
A big thing in Bloodborne is forbidden knowledge that grants you great power at the risk of insanity, which is even represented at times by a status effect that deals massive damage if you stare at some horrific shit for too long.

Also what >>385981603 said. But, even though in Bloodborne you're able to kill Great Ones, the ending still shows that whatever's going on is way beyond you: in one ending you get a 'happy' end but the awful events of the night are likely to repeat; in another you become a plaything of a Great One; in the last you gain loads of knowledge and become a baby slug with the purpose of ushering in the next stage of mankind, whatever that might be.

>>385981603
A game really "true" to the feeling and narrative of Lovecraft's works would probably mean the player (or atleast their character) has relatively little agency, or their actions have little impact. Something like a point-and-click or a walking simulator where you do get most of the storyline in the course of a regular playthrough, but there's lots of gaps in your knowledge that you've got to fill in by looking for all the letters, newspaper articles, police reports, etc etc scattered about the location.

What is your favorite Lovecraft story?

Either Cool Air or Re-Animator.

>>385982219
Either "The Color Out of Space" or "The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath."

>>385981598
I think the only truly immortal things in the original mythos were the outer gods like Azathoth. The only one in BB I think was Oedon. Idk what the fuck Mergo was. The flavor text says that Mergo was stillborn due to it being impossible for great ones to reproduce, but who knows what stillborn means in context of great ones.

Dark Seed is a pretty lovecrafty game. The revelation that your headache is because of a demon alien baby implanted in your brain was classic

I have honestly thought about reprogramming that entire game from scratch to fix the glaring issues. Would probably be pretty easy with like unity these days.

>>385982219
I really enjoyed The Thing on the Doorstep desu. At the Mountains of Madness is also great.

I genuinely would give Bloodborne a C+. Never bad enough to stop playing, but not interesting enough to warrant sinking multiple playthroughs into.

>>385982530
Wait, really? What is it like?

>>385982219
That's really hard to say.
The one that comes to mind is The Nameless City.
I read it out loud to my sister while we were on the edge of the Sahara in Morocco.

>>385982678

An FPS based on 'The Shadow Over Innsmouth'. A little buggy, but fun.

>>385982219
The Shadow Out of Time, but The Colour Out of Space is probably the one that's frightened me the most.

>>385980259
Bloodborne is for people who like mediocre-ish action games with great aesthetics.

Lovecraft fans are probably better off sucking their own dicks. That's a game they'd like.

>>385982678
First setpiece once you get into the town is top tier shit-your-pants horror, then it goes a bit downhill after that, while still pretty decent. You need a good tolerance for bugs and clunk and other hallmarks of unpolished games, though.

>>385981598
Yeah i'm sure Cthulhu could be defeated by some tard rolling around the floor.

>>385982937

Theres tons of collections of his work. Some grouped by theme, some that are just stories that have been adapted into other media, and some that are just grab bags of whatever.

>>385982219
The Dreams in the Witch House is pretty cool.

>I read it out loud to my sister while we were on the edge of the Sahara in Morocco.

>>385981598
You don't kill any of them in Bloodborne, apart from arguably Mergo which is more "you've got so many eyes on the brain" case of usurping them.

Bloodborne really needed to push it. The player character getting warped, the chalic dungeons getting crazy, Byrgenwerth being 5 times larger since it's easily the best level in the series, that sort of thing.

>>385983167

>>385983167
You do kill the three nightmare ones, presumably. With Rom and Ebriatas it's hard to say, because they reappear in the Chalice Dungeons, which might just be a gameplay thing but it might be indicating they do actually live in.

You also kill a handful of amygdalas, which are Great Ones but 'lesser,' according to the arm description.

>>385980703
>as a man, was seemingly consumed with considering himself superior
>family was trash-tier ex aristocracy and he never got to taste the life he considered himself part of

hahah loser

Try Infra Arcana.
It's a roguelike that is "harder" than the entire soulsborne series combined.

>>385983824
I swear to god I remember some item description or something about killing them just meaning they retreat further into the dreams.

Chalice Dungeons are weird and don't have much to do with anything.

>>385983873
Why would I want harder games? Harder isn't really a good thing. Even Ninja Gaiden is honestly not particularly hard (when you figure out what you're doing).

Reboot, anyway, the NES games are fucking bullshit.

>>385984031
hard != challenging

>>385980259
in my humble opinion, the story/lore of Bloodborne starts to breakdown when the aliens get involved.

>>385983873
Even tryhards at /rlg/ are complaining about the bullshit, unfair difficulty.

WoW's design of the Old Gods is pretty great, as well as their voice and text.

>>385984167
the story/lore doesn't get started until that point

it's the story of opening a can of worms and getting a den of vipers instead

>>385984580
I still don't get what the deal was with either the moon presence or the one reborn.

>>385984167
Without the hard veer into bullshit territory, it'd be a really boring by-the-numbers Lovecraft story.

>>385984873
>it'd be a really boring by-the-numbers Lovecraft story.
Except unlike Lovecraft, there is actually an ending where the character doesn't die/go insane (Sunrise ending).

>>385985035
It has its differences, but it takes an ending where you turn into a godslug to really appreciate the Sunrise ending.

>>385985127
>It has its differences, but it takes an ending where you turn into a godslug to really appreciate the Sunrise ending.
What do you mean by this?

>>385984850
The Moon Presence is the Great One that created/controls the Hunter's Dream. It was 'beckoned' by Lawrence and Gherman. Presumably they made a deal with it in order to have access to trained hunters so the beasts could be fought off.

The One Reborn isn't really given much explanation. It's probably some Old One and/or the result of a fucked up Mensis experiment.

If I were to make a Dark Tower game I would base it off FNV's design philosophy mixed with The Witcher

Seeing as we are on the topic of Stephen King, I'm rereading The Stand right now and holy fucking shit Larry notbrucespringsteen is an asshole in the beginning. He's so not a nice guy

someone whos read or listened to his books, are they actually good? wanna get into some but i hear mixed things

>>385987014
He has already been the whitest of all gods so as long as they make everyone else black too except Detta who is a crazy racist white chick then it could still work I guess.

Call of Cthulhu darkest corners of the earth.
Darkest dungeon also has a similar story of cosmic horror and humanity going where it should not. But that only really kicks in at the end.

He's like Edgar Allen Poe, wrote very well but his prose is esotoric as fuck and kinda hard to get into at first

Also he never wrote a "book" he was a Pulp Writer and everything he ever wrote was short fiction with the exception of one novella

>>385987293
>mixed with The Witcher

and that's how you know /v/ is garbage now

>>385987293
I've read absolutely nothing Stephen King aside from Dark Tower, where should I start?

>>385987293
He ain't no nice guy

>>385987338
He was a writer of short stories, poems, etc., so you're not so much looking at getting into his books as you are cycles of the same brand of his fiction. Some are predictable and cliché by today's standards, and some people just don't like his style of writing, but he's had an enormous inflation on modern fiction for a reason. I love the atmosphere and the settings, but it's up to you to give it a shot and see if it floats your boat.

I wish Bloodborne had more replayability. It's a fantastic game, but I've never felt the urge to do more than 2 runs with different weapons.

>>385987542
Poe's prose totally holds up, though.

The tell-tale heart flows better than most contemporary short stories. I mean the dialogue is awkward, but that's the era for you.

>>385987802
Influence, not inflation.

>>385982219
I can't pick one, but most of these:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dream_Cycle

It's a great starting point for people who want to get into Lovecraft. The content of his writing is great but the actual writing itself is pretty mediocre in my opinion. I read At the Mountain of Madness as my first lovecraft story and it was a slog. I wrote him off until I read his dream cycle stories and found them to be written much, much better.

>>385987813
If they just modded it so every area was continually able to be invaded or summoned in, no bell crap, it'd hold up better.

But then you have that gem shit and all that easily doubles your damage if you stack them right. That shits fucked.

Just give the audio books a shot and if you like it you can get into the reading. A friend of mine really liked The Shadow Over Innsmouth, was too predicable for my taste and kinda boring. I liked The Dunwich Horror and he hated it.

>>385987684

The Stand is everybody's favorite novel by him and is arguably the American LOTR, IT, The Running man, 11/23/63, Pet Semetary, and my underrated Stephen King favorite is "The Long Walk" wich is about a weird contest in a dystopian America where the corrupt government that toke over the country after the Nazis win make a national holiday called "The Long Walk" where a hundred guys are set up and ave to walk at 4MPH or above. You go slow? You die. You veer off course? You die. You touch other contestants? You die

just played through that sequence again today. Really amazing stuff. Everythings unsettling in a way. From the loud-ass banging while the fishmen break down doors, to the 2 friendly characters dieing within minutes of eachother, and the couple visions of the asylum. I think one of the reasons it's less creepy after this sequence is because you get weapons and the enemy AI is incredibly easy to sneak up on and can barely aim.
I think 2 things make call of Cthulhu Darkest corners of the earth great.
1. the lack of HUD elements.
2. the way it handles the loss of sanity. Like while walking down the sewers and you hear that little dead girl's voice I found it creepier that later on when alone the player character who you are controlling whispers to himself. It creeped me out because there was nothing happening but the effects of previous encounters were still very evident, and it's the character you control doing something without your input.

It's a cartoon made by a rapist. Who cares? Roland looking a certain way literally doesn't impact his character at all, You would have a point if you said something like "what if they made Shaft white" because Shaft being black is a crucial point of his character

>>385990119
Some people might get pissy, movie might bomb, but in the end, no one would really care all that much.

The Hendrix thing would never get made. Biopics are a wee bit different from adaptations. I know that it's a little hard for you to understand others, but people would rather see a good actor than one who looks exactly like how the character is described. Like Morgan Freeman in Shawshank.

>>385990317
>Roland looking a certain way literally doesn't impact his character at all
Than why was he written as a White man in the first place? Why wasn't he written as a raceless, sexless blob with non-descript appendages?

>>385989283
I think the last time I played it was about 6 months ago, but when I did you could still get constant invasions, 0 downtime, in Nightmare Mensis, so there's that.

But that's a pretty piss-poor excuse. As much as people bitched about twinkers - and rightfully so, they're faggots - you still got invaded from the getgo right up to the very end of Dark Souls and Demons Souls back in the day.

I'm not saying that the multiplayer is some integral part of this dev's output, but it adds a lot of novelty and makes repeat playthroughs a lot more fun to just dick around in.

>>385987338

>>385990429
>Than why was he written as a White man in the first place? Why wasn't he written as a raceless, sexless blob with non-descript appendages?
Because Stephen king just thought "okay, what it this character? Eh, I'll make him a white dude. No one really cares."

>>385990005
Yes but even that doesn't have much impact. Not only is there no indication where the Lecture Hall even once existed, though the Slime Scholars are unsettling when you first encounter them, that's about the extent of the research you see. There's just the same generic bottles and jars everywhere and some empty cages, and nothing to suggest what they even did in their research.

>>385990429
>Than why was he written as a White man in the first place

Because Stephen King is a white guy in America where "White guy" is the default. At no point does Roland being white affect his personality, the plot, or even minor shit. It's like The Stand taking place in the late 80's instead of 70's in the expanded edition, it changes nothing except year names but the plot remains the same

Clearly, the producers and directors thought he'd be good in the role. He agreed. It's likely that they even got input from King on it.

>>385990815
Making him a little person would likely affect the plot. And the plot sort of excludes the potential of anything more than cross-dressing, which wouldn't effect what Roland would wear, seeing as it's a situation of survival, rather than fanciness, so you wear what you have.

Try Deathstate if you want some Lovecraft mixed with bullet hell.

Plot wise it borrows from Lovecrafts stories as well as other horror. The general premise is you go looking for your professor who has been doing unorthodox research. You and his library get pulled into another dimension. The only way out is exploring other realms by psychically projecting yourself there using the tech he left behind, but they're filled with all kinds of eldritch horrors.

Gameplay wise your character fires at the closest enemy while you concentrate on dodging and moving. There are bunch of characters, items and harder modes to unlock.

Why do people just make up fake "facts" for thier arguments?

From didn't distance themselves from Lovecraft comparisons, in an interview found in the Official Guide Miyazaki specifically name drops Lovecraft as one of two major influences he had when designing the game.

Also BB's lovecroft elements arnt just
> dude aliens lmao
that's only a tiny aspect, Bloodborne is much more influenced by Lovecraft's less known work involving dreams and alternate dimensions and such. When someone says "Bloodborne only took tentecles and claims to be Lovecroftian" then it's proof that they either didn't pay any attention to BB's story or have only a minuscule exposure to Lovecraft.

You do know that Wet Nurse is an actual thing, right? It's not a made up term. In Ye olden days it was seen as unattractive to breastfeed so upperclass and royal women would have lactating women feed thier babies for them. They were called wet nurses.

You still might find that erotic, I don't know.

Well, would you obey someone?

In terms of animal intelligence (disregarding things like Dolphins and Apes which are extremely far above), on a scale of 1-10 cats are typically around a 7. Every cat I've ever owned has immediately known to use the litterbox for the rest of it's life after being shown it once, and has been extremely easy to keep.

Dogs start at around a 3, but they can be trained to a 9-10. Dogs can learn how to do some pretty dope shit. However if you let them they'll just shit in your house and be stupid their whole life

I'll refer you to a post that a smarter anon has made once. It was in reference to literature, but it works here nonetheless.

Lovecraft didn't have a deep vocabulary, he just kept using the same "deep" words over and over again without any originality. Cyclopean. Eldritch. Singularly. There's a lot more to writing then vocabulary.

If you like Lovecraft and his ideas, try the writers that Lovecraft liked and ripped his ideas off of.

If you like indescribable horrors from beyond time, space, and human understanding, read Algernon Blackwood.

If you like slimy undersea horrors like Chtulhu, Dagon, or the Innsmouth fish people, read William Hope Hodgson.

If you like strange books driving men mad, read Robert Chambers.

If you like strange fantasy realms just behind the veil, with weird names and strange creatures, read Clark Ashton Smith.

If you like odd decayed ruins, run down hovels, weird mythological figures causing mischief in forgotten rural backwards, try Dunsany.

There's a whole world out there filled with fantastic weird fiction, and HPL's just babby's first author. He's for casuals, in the worst sort of way

Did you even read (and I mean READ) Lovecraft? The whole point of books is to enchant the reader, draw him in, but his writing is so fucking boring and sluggish that you can feel your braincells dying in real time. His IDEAS are great, sure, but the man was terrible when it came to actually putting his ideas on paper.
>There's a reason people don't read much Lord Dunsany today
There's a reason people don't read much today period. Because people want something that's easier to digest, and that's not books. Lovecraft is overrepresented because, again, his IDEAS worked great in movie/show/videogame adaptations, but not in his books.
Normal people still read Dunsany, mind you.

>>385998582
That's not exactly hard

>>386006872
I've read every surviving work of his that was published or intended for publication. I didn't read his letters etc. because he is a droll and hateful person.

Well ain't you chest-deep up your own ass here, mister. God fucking forbid someone has a different opinion to yours, right? I can't flaunt the fact that I've read every Lovecraft work possible, because I'm not exactly a fan of his works, but those that I've dragged my activated almonds through turned out to be boring and dull, the only thing making me read them was that I could vaguely see what the author was trying to portray behind walls and walls of unnecessarily DEEP words, and I liked it.
If you think that his works don't work in adaptations, that's fine, that's your _opinion_. Don't pass this for a sign of some deep intellectual understanding, because you sound more like a fedoracore fanboy than anything.

That still makes cats dumb though. Dogs are smarter in that case because they understand the relationship that an owner and itself has. One of love and trust where if the owner benefits, then the dog benefits as well. The cat doesn't do what an owner wants it to, they do what they want and are therefore breaking the owner/pet relationship.

The Whisperer in Darkness. I'm surprised nobody has mentioned it before. It's one of the best proto-scifi stories I've seen.

>>386011391
Soma is pretty great yeah.

To stay in topic, I think the first 2 Penumbra games where more Lovecraftian, but I can't really remember, played them too long ago.

>>386012736
>Beat the first penumbra
>Second one the enemy has a flashlight
Never played again

Do people who like Lovecraft also like House of Leaves?

Gaunter O' Dimm and the creepy atmosphere surrounding him was amazing so Witcher 3's Heart of Stone DLC. Also Secret World.

People in an arctic research/mining base dug up a hive mind virus that infected everyone and turned most people into its puppets.
Amnesia seems more Lovecraftian to me.

Check out H.P. Lovecraft and Robert Barlow's relationship. Shit's tragic.

Barlow was a lot younger and gay, but there was apparently no romance between the two. In the end, H.P. named Barlow as the successor of his literary estate, which caused a ton of other people to throw a shitfit, including August Derleth, who would go on raping Lovecraft's legacy for a couple of decades. Barlow couldn't handle this and bailed, understandably.

He spent the rest of his life studying mesoamerican ancient cultures, but was driven to suicide probably for his gayness, by taking a fuckton of secobarbital.

His suicide note, left on his door, read "Do not disturb me, I wish to sleep for a long time." written in fucking mayan pictographs.

Maybe on the very, very superficial level like most of these games, but it's main inspirations are elsewhere.

holy fuck dogfags BTFO

>b-but muh fetch

>>385991320

The King in Yellow is pre-lovecraft to begin with, and Lovecraft treated it very carefully, not explaining anything and only drawing careful parallels.

I agree that August Derleth is a fucking hack and none of his writing should have any bearing on the Cthulhu writings.

Is Grim Dawn worth pirating ?
I have a friend I could play Co-op with but I would have to buy it for him.
Would the co-op justify buying it?

I guess it depends on whether you like the genre or not, but if you do, it's one of the most competent game of its kind right now and there's an expansion coming out in a few months.

>>386013007
I'm a person that sort of likes both. I actively enjoy Danielewski and I appreciate Lovecraft more than enjoy him. These are really disparate things though. House of leaves is a takedown of literary criticism and the shit a person goes through writing a post-modern novel. I can't see how anyone that read it would call it horror. Don't fall for that meme it's awesome for what it is though.

Cats are incapable of reciprocating hospitality at the level at which dogs do, they are also harder to condition or train; it's harder to teach them.

Dogs are also superior to cats when it comes to hunting, tracking, long distance running, rescue and property protection. There is a reason dogs are "man's best friend", not cats.

Lovecraft's horseshit opinion only validates how shit cats are; he's an a-social introvert, just how cats are a-social introverts. They belong together, and dogs do not belong with cat "people".

why are there no dog equivalents to things like tigers, lions and panthers? The best dogs have are like wolves but they're still not nearly the size of a tiger or as powerful. also house cats are extremely funny to me when you compare them to tigers, etc. Haha they're like the same thing but ultra manlets. But yeah why the fuck aren't there any super powerful huge dog-like creatures? Wtf?

>>386014369
The only reason dogs would be superior by any metric is because people don't keep big cats as pets

Worst part is how everytime someone goes on about something being "sooo lovecraft" it is nearly always closer to his ham fisted bullshit mythology.

haha i have to take my animal for a walk because it is too retarded to exercise on its own, and then i have to walk around carrying a bag of its shit because it is too retarded to shit in a box, and then i get to listen to it bark all day and watch it chew on shit and destroy everything in my house. also it smells like fucking garbage because it is too retarded to actually clean itself. truly us dogfags are the master race!
