It's shit
Everything is either normie shit or literally who: the game. A fucking text adventure? Lol
REmake is on PC now isn't it? REmake it is
>>388959715
even mods like cry of fear are better than 90% of the games in this list
Thumper counts as a horror game?
>>388960592
>System Shock 2
>Dark Souls
>Metro 2033
This don't even qualify
>>388959715
Dark Souls has a horror aesthetic. That's not necessarily the same thing as being a "horror game," or games like Doom and Quake would also count (and some people do believe they count).
I hate labels anyway. People spend too much time fighting over the word and not enough about whether or not a game works at selling a certain mood or mechanic.
>>388960592
>most aren't even horror
Every time
>>388960592
is soma worth the $8?
>>388960592
Oh shit, I've been meaning to play Anchorhead for a while. Any anons have an opinion on it? Looks p. comfy.
>>388960592
>Silent Hill 2
Every time. Dumb plebeians
>Inside
Yeah for real. That game terrified the shit out of me. The bit where I had to jump on the thing and drag the other thing really got me sweating
>>388961967
well 1 isn't available on PC and the rest of them are garbage.
>>388961814
I got it for about that a while ago and never finished it. It's cool but only just.
>>388959715
I'm a horror fanatic but I'd never heard of Sylvio. Actually looks pretty cool.
>>388959715
dark souls is anything you want it to be, argumentatively.
There is strategic thought involved, and the inventory is not paused, so you can also call it an RTS.
>>388960592
What a shit list.
>Slender
lmao
>>388962345
the ending of the game is absolute kino - it gave me shivers the first time I beat it
>>388962229
I thought 1 was? But in any case, both 1 and 3 are better than 2.
>It's a "/v/ gets autistic about a list" thread
>>388962535
Slender still gets me genuinely tensed up once you collect a few pages. The sound design is also really well done which helps so I don't think it's too out of place on this list especially if you can think about it outside of the context of a youtube jumpscare meme game. Something that most of /v/ is unable to do.
>>388960592
Such a shit list
>Resident Evil 7 over every other classic RE that isn't REmake
>Outlast 2 of all things
>System Shock 2 is a horror game now
>Silent Hill 2 over 1, 3 and even 4
>Amnesia, babby's first walking sim
>Dead Space is horror now
>Dark Souls is horror now
>The Walking Dead is horror now
>The Evil Within is horror now
>Metro 2033 is horror now
>Slender and Alien are good now
>FEAR is horror now
Pathetic
>>388961008
Welcome to /v. The place where the popular and unknown and everything inbetween is shit.
>>388964462
At least it has Pathologic.
Also what's with the contrarians against SH2?
