Remember when horror games were good and not just indie games pretending to be scary?
How can you pretend to be scary?

Used to play shit like MGS/Fallout/Resident Evil.
Now all she plays is these games and like an hour of a new release.
>>258430061that's cute and sounds like a nice mom
Times change. I used to be able to play vidya 19 hours straight, but now I prefer shorter bursts. DOTA 2 is good for this.
>>258427357
Also if you want a decent horror game try Dementium 2 on PC. It is not the prettiest game, but it makes me feel really uncomfortable and I'm playing it oneasy.
>>258429450
Fuck you. You don't deserve to have your mom.

>>258427625
Its called startling someone. Theres no horror created, just silence followed by loud noises and something popping on screen. The exact opposite of silent hill games. fuck this screamer bullshit
>>258435159
Wheres the horror game?Freddy is just a series of screamer video clips... literally...
Video clips of animals
Video clips of animals popping on the screen
Theres no interaction.... the "horror" is literally just silence followed by a video played of freddy or the fox popping in front of you.
Its not a horror game.
Its a series of screamer video clips.

>>258435182
>The exact opposite of silent hill games. fuck this screamer bullshit
So are there any screamers/jump scares in the Silent Hill games at all? What about in P.T.?
I can take creepy but I can't play games where I have to worry that something is going to jump out and startle me the whole time. I've never finished a Silent Hill game because of it.
>>258435493
I really fucking hate faggots like you who think the only genre of horror is psychological horror.
Silent Hill and Fatal Frame have jump moments too faggot.
>>258429450

>>258435840
Theres a couple in silent hill but its not the focus of the horror. Its psychological buildup and unease and creepy tension. But no cheap loud sounds all the time.
Playable Trailers scares come solely from the zombie lady grabbing you from behind while a loud sound plays. Just screamer shit. If PT is indicative of Silent Hills then kojima has no fucking idea how to make a horror game
Holy fuck is this guy a faggot.
If you thought PewDiePie was shit, this guy is 100x worse. He literally never shuts the fuck up.
>>258435958
I think screamer shit has a place in scary games. But it shouldnt be the focus because its fucking cheap and completely uninvolving. Being startled by loud sounds is a reaction, not a fucking emotional response like true dread and fear.
Is there any fucking videos of Five Nights at Freddys without shitty commentary? The only non-commentary ones I could find were of the demo.
Also fuck youtube for having the first results being some LP bullshit. Every time.
>>258436356
The only time Freddy has a jump scare is when you actually game over. The rest of the time are just animals appearing close to your screen when you flip to them (there are no jump cues). When the animals appear right outside your room there is a modest sound cue when you turn on the lights. That's it really.
>>258436636
>the rest of the time are just you seeing animals right up in the screen, just with no spooky sound cues
Just because the soundtrack doesn't go BRINK BRINK BRINK doesn't mean that it's a pop-scare.
>>258436636
This.
The screamers are only in Freddy's when you fuck up and get caught.
>>258436815
>that it's a pop-scare
*That it's NOT a pop-scare. Pardon my grammar.
>>258436815
I don't even know what the argument is, animals appearing on your screen when flipped to isn't the "scare" so why is it an issue at all?
>>258436568
So...do all internet celebrities overreact to horror games?
Jump scares make me jump a little but no more than, I suppose it's the same for all /v/irgins but youtubefags always overreact
>>258437001
I already watched all of those. They are only of the first 2 nights.
I'm talking all 5 nights + ending.
>>258436896
Hey, anon. Did you know that that's found in almost any shitty Unity game on the "market" today?
>>258436951
The argument is that 5NAF is riddled with jump scares. When you lose, jump scare. When an enemy moves to another camera, sometimes they place themselves directly in front of it and scaring you when you flip to it. Sometimes Freddy just likes to scream and turn the TV to the Freddy Channel for no reason but to scare you.

Horror games that try to scare you with jump scares or punish you by having you killed by some kind of horror monster, while not missing the point of horror entirely, vastly diminishes the effect of said horror by making it some kind of cheap interactive horror game, with less emphasis on the "horror" aspect and more on the "gameplay" aspect, therefore failing at trying to deliver a well crafted horror experience. This happens in movies too, but it's harder for video game developers since there is a layer of interactivity that goes into video games.
Can't say I've ever really enjoyed games like Penumbra, Friday Night Pizza, Amnesia, Outlast, etc. for this very reason.
I think horror games would be more effective if there's a layer of believability and personal fear to certain situations that would make a lot of people feel uncomfortable - such as a shooting. Perhaps you could get the same feeling of true terror that fits more along the lines of some of Stephen King's work. Believable unbelievability.

I watched a video with the guy in it in OPs picture and he is literally the most obnoxious person on the planet. He's so incredibly unfunny that even Dane Cook thinks he's not funny.
I would rape him until the room stinks, and I'd get away with it too if it wasn't for meddling kids.
>>258437583
Why should I suck it up when I can just wait and have a better experience? Someone will upload a no commentary no facecam version eventually.
>>258437195
>When you lose, jump scare.
This is the point so I would actually defend this. A jump scare when you game over completely is acceptable. How the fuck is that cheap, bitch you just fucked up and lost completely.
>When an enemy moves to another camera, sometimes they place themselves directly in front of it and scaring you when you flip to it.
What is what I was trying to say in the last post. This part isn't supposed to be a jump scare at all. If you are frightened by it, then that's just you. Honestly the camera flip didn't really scare me or others that I saw play it.
>Sometimes Freddy just likes to scream and turn the TV to the Freddy Channel for no reason.
This is the only fair point.
>>258437428
I should also mention I think it would be a lot better if you make the player think they're going to die at all times, while never actually killing them, maintaining the fear throughout the entire experience, maybe up until the end.
>>258437001
Does anyone think it's funny how these videos get practically no views? But all of the videos with moronic LP'ers have 6 figure views?
>>258435493
Pretty much this. Freddy's is as much of a game as P.T.
Neither of them have gameplay, it's just scripted shit that ends in a jumpscare

Sometimes. Not all the time, though.
>If you are frightened by it, then that's just you
You were honestly NEVER spooked by seeing Bonnie or Freddy's face just RIGHT THERE in the lens? You're either lying or shouldn't be playing horror games. Seeing a big gruesome face when there wasn't one before is one of the essentials of a jump scare.
>>258437428
I don't think anything can match the sense of terror I get from that one part in Misery where Paul is out of his room and reading the creepy as fuck scrapbook and he hears the car coming back and he just KNOWS it's Annie.
>>258437583

If you have a negative reaction to it, you've been scared. Just because you don't scream and ask your viewers to like, comment, and subscribe doesn't mean that you weren't spooked by the game.

That's my point. Those games may be horror by definition, but the overall horror experience diminishes as you play through it. I believe it's possible to make a horror experience, video games or otherwise, to last up until you're finished. Be it fictional or non fictional, as long as there's some personal or relatable level involved between the player and the events taking place in the game, and as long as you aren't punished by death for being caught or doing something wrong, then there will always be a somewhat of a horror feel. You will always have your guard up, because you never had the chance to let your guard down.

Okay lets say I was definitely spooked in the sense that my heart stopped beating. Why is that cheap or disliked? I want the game to give me more heart stopping moments but doesn't cross into jump out of chair and scream territory.
In fact I loved when I somehow won AFTER my office blacked out for 10 seconds. That 10 seconds I was in pure Fatal Frame level of tension and I swear I was going to freak out. Turns out there was no jump scare there.

Fuck you. Man, I remember growing up my mom would play games like Legend of Zelda, Earthbound, random MUDs and wireframe dungeons, Ultima, and Quake. My mom played and devastated at fucking Doom and Quake. She still kind of games, but does more of the casual bubble pop and match 3 bejeweled type games. But fuck if that woman hasn't earned it. Still, she was curious when ALBW came out on 3DS and watched me play it.

>>258438849
That's his glasses retard. Look at the side of them before the scare. You can see they have a black highlight next to the frame.
>>258438952
I played when I was like 15 or something, I was horrified (though some shit was funny for how shitty it looked)
>>258438979
>why is that cheap or disliked?
Because it's way overwrought, and incredibly short-lived. Eventually, you're just going to be either jaded or pissed off, and that's not good game design. Sure, you say that can be done for games with more subtle horror, but the thing is that it takes MUCH LONGER for that horror to wear thin.
>turns out there was no jump scare there
There was going to. When the office blacks out, Freddy waits a little while before rushing into the office and jump-scaring you. You were anticipating the jump scare.
>>258436097
please respond, which game mechanic am I missing?
>>258436293
Anybody who watches Markiplier or Pewdiepie doesn't watch them to see the game they are playing. They are watching them to see their reactions to the games they are playing. There are plenty of videos out there of people who are playing the game without commentary. Or you could just download the free demo to try it out for yourself.

Everytime I run into a scare moment there was definitely a cuss moment, FUCK MY LIFE or AWW HELL NAW moment, but that's the good part.
>Freddy waits a little while before rushing into the office and jump-scaring you.
Usually this would qualify as just straight up cheap scare but the context is that you already set yourself up for a game over. This is a completely different complaint than needing to travel down a hall and a skeleton pops out of a closet on the way.
>You were anticipating the jump scare.
Yes I was, that tension build up was absolutely insane but I lucked out. Truly an awesome fuck yeah moment when you never knew that you could time out Freddy like that.
If you still think that's super cheap then I could really say the same about Fatal Frame. Every fucking time a ghost looks at me through the lenses and I'm just anticipating for the literal BOO jump. Yes it's true indie horror games have had a bad track recording, Freddy isn't the best game ever but there's definitely some bias here defending classics like FF as if they didn't do jumps too.

The fact that it's game over doesn't justify the jump scare. Many shitty horror games end when you get spooked, and FNAF isn't an exception.

>>258437918
The creepy faces hogging the camera aren't a jump scare, they're just unsettling. It adds to the stress of the situation but it's not a jump scare, especially since their face can hang there for a while if you switch away and back again and the face is still there. A jump scare is a one-and-done thing and has something else to accompany it to startle you.

5NAF has no puzzles, looking for keys hidden under rugs and shit, that's why it pales in comparison to AAA horror games. Yes this game is bare bones compared to other games but complaints are so redundant, like complaining about how families and kids are having fun at a haunted mansion. They just wanted a casual wild ride for some laughs yet people are criticizing that it isn't a GOAT psychological horror game. The misunderstanding is the issue.

I like Markiplier, part of what makes him funny is how he makes a parody of youtubers with how overproduced all of his shit is. Plus he's raised over $200,000 which statistically is more than most of us will do for humanity. Plus there might of been some genuine fear in that part if you watch the video, that as a tense moment. If you guys can make a better horror game do it, Scott did.

Remember when you couldn't just sit at the computer all day and watch other people play video games online just so you could then shitpost about them on imageboards while acting as though you had actually played them yourself?
>>258427357
People don't really act like that when playing a spooky video game, right? I've played startle games before and I'll get spooked just like anyone else, but this reeling back in your chair and cowering in fear is so overacted and lame.
>>258441441
I'm a few years over half that.
>>258429450
sometimes I'm sad my parents don't play vidya
other times I'm glad
>>258429450
Your a piece of shit and you dont deserve to have her as your mother. Play some fucking vidya with your mom ya turd blossom
>>258441576

I hope your mother meets a friendly platonic young man who can be the son she never had, you pile of shit.

I talked to him a few times a few years back when he first started his channel. He said he really wanted to be a YouTube LPer full-time and was willing to quit his day job for it.
I thought he was a fucking idiot but then less than two years later he fucking did it and now makes a living player video games.
Shut me right up.
>>258441808
Wow you're mean.
>>258441661
I don't even understand this LPer craze. Half the fucking fans of these guys dont even play video games themselves.
I have an aunt in her early 40's thats fucking obsessed with PewDiePie and giggles like a constipated toddler every time he makes a fart noise or a funny face.
She's never played a video game in her entire life.
>>258441964
Don't take it too personally, he's just upset.
>>258435182
Most the horror of the game comes from the constant fear of the animals getting to your room instead of the moment they actually get there
>>258441616
Every bit of credibility you could have is lot the moment you start projecting like that. FNAF is a good game, it plays a lot on the fears a human naturally has. Just because you didn't like it, or it didn't hit you as hard, or whatever reason you could have doesn't change that it's a unique game in a genre that has been stagnant for years.
>>258427357
Markiplier is the cringiest Let's Player I've ever seen
>>258442104
Pretty sure you quoted the wrong person because I'm defending 5NAF from shit heads who keep saying "the game is just cheap jump scares!".
>>258427357
Actually, there are quite a few decent indie horror games if you know where to look, although the better ones tend to be almost excessively weird.

Half the people who watch UFC don't actually fight either what's your point?
>>258441890
Kids watch kids movie and get hyped and start to quote and regurgitate lines from said movie.
Holy shit. I just looked up this faggot on youtube and I couldn't stand it for longer than 1 minute. He will not shut he fuck up.
>>258441964
Please stop using a tripcode, it comes off as obnoxious and goes directly against the anonymous nature of 4chan. It serves no purpose in the context of this thread and merely shines a light on you as a target of hate and offtopic shitposting.
>>258442287
This is weird until you get to the end and realize what happened. Shit is fucking disturbing.
>>258442341
You dont need years of training to play a fucking videogame. Watching LPers is equivalent to watching someone else watch TV.
>>258441980
Wow..dude. are you like, dense? That's part of the point. You don't need to play the games to watch the LPer. A lot of it comes from liking the player as a person or enjoying the quality of his videos. You don't need to love the game, or play games to watch them and enjoy them.
It's fine if you don't like them, but they're not really hard to understand
>>258442513
Entertainment is entertainment. Doesn't matter where it comes from.
>>258442560
>the quality of his videos
People like to stare at 1080p just because?
>liking the player as a person
faggot tier celebrity worship and obsession
They are not your friends. They dont even know who you are. Its an act to make money. These personalities are not real.
>>258442354
People need to stop riding that movies dick. It's alright, but hits every single cliche possible. It's nothing amazing in the slightest.
It will probably suffer Avengers syndrome where it takes 2 years for people to admit it was just okay.
>>258439971
That wasn't bait, I'm serious and meant the original slender, I actually flipped my shit.
>>258442676
So if I find beating my dick with a rock fun nobody is allowed to criticize me?
Fuck you.
>>258442932
That's a really horrible false equivocation.
>>258442932
Yes, go beat the shit out of your dick with a rock. No one gives a shit, in fact post a video so we can all enjoy it.
>>258442803
I obviously meant how the videos produced, edited, etc not it being 1080p or not.
And no shit. People enjoy watching them for reasons you don't agree with. So instead of saying not my cup of tea you're going "I don't get itttt!" And choosing to look like an ignorant idiot. Lovely.
>>258442932
Where did he say "you can criticize this"?
Nowhere. Take your dick out of your ass, and go beat it with a rock.
>>258441980
People find stuff funny and like people that you dont. It's not rocket science champ.
>>258427357
>Game claims to be suuuuper scary
>They show live footage of people getting "scared" while playing
>The lighting always ALWAYS changes just as they panic indicating a jump scare
>Scary atmospheres are a thing of the past
Markiplier is pathetic.
He's a fucking second-rate PewDiePie. It's disgusting.
>games made in RPG maker 2000 still beat out all the recent attemps at a horror game by miles
Really. I don't think There is a broad genre that's as dead as horror games
>>258440696
then why even release it that way, get off kojimas dick, not everything he does is that much of a ruse
>>258444214
>a horror game that isn't first person
>scary
haha, oh wow
>>258444082
I respect him for what he does charity-wise but i can't fucking stand his content, he's just a loud obnoxious asshole. if you look at his newer videos you can see that he has soundproofed his room, his neighbors probably told him to shut the fuck up.
>already shitposting threads about this game
remember: just because it's popular, doesn't mean you can't like it.
>>258429450
>mfw my mom never plays video games but respects them anyway
>mfw I've instilled great taste in vidya into my sister

every time.
>>258444910
at least things like Freedy's, Amnesia, Outlast give me jump scares and have a creepy atmosphere,
games like Silent Hill, RPG makers and such, are not scary at all, might be me, but i can only feel any sense of tension when the controls are FPS,
In games like Silent Hill, i can watch my back, same in any RPG maker game, so that takes away any tension i would have had.
>>258444082
I've had the misfortune of accidentally stumbling upon Markipliers Cry of Fear videos. He copies PewShit's videos almost completely, including the subtitle font.
>>258429642
>same thing
You take that back you double nigger.
>>258445453
>Friday Nights at Freddy's, Amnesia and Outlast are scary
>Silent Hill isn't
holy shit
>>258427357
Pic unrelated, right?
>>258429450
mah nigga
>>258429450
Shit... holy fuck... now that I realize it, it was my mom who got me into vidya. She was the one who played Mario Bros. with me, she was the one who played zelda with me, she was the one who played pikmin with me. Sure, always with a guide, but my mom is responsible for introducing me to passion in my life. I need to call my mom.
>>258443931
How about you actually play the game? Playing Freddy's is a LOT different from just watching it, due to the nature of the game mechanics. Granted, if you still don't like it or think its scary, then you're entitled to your own opinion.
>>258445629
He never said Silent Hill is bad, just not scary. He's not a fucking pleb for not finding something scary.
>>258445453
Jump scares are the laziest way to make a horror game.
>>258446173
>He's not a fucking pleb for not finding something scary.
>>258445629
let me show you my view of point
in the picture, its silent hill 2, by your standars, should be the scariest thing
but its like watching a movie, i can see the fucking character, i dont feel any danger, as i have a third person view, if anything comes and hit me, i cant be disoriented, because i only watch the animations of the fucking character
is the same as a movie, scary movies are really fucking shit.
on the other hand, is a pretty fucking good game, but scary? walking to the kitchen for water at 3 AM is more scary
>>258446039
I was talking generally about "horror" games as a whole, not specifically the game in OP's image
>>258440015
>He puts on this really forced voice
That's actually just how he sounds. Even his first videos of him stumbling around in Amnesia and not being terribly confident sound about the same, just not as loud.
I can't really defend the hammy scares much, but there are legitimate ones in there, like in the OP image.
>>258446309
Call it shit, but what about the last of us or Batman: AA or AC? When you were hit, the camera itself was disoriented. Take into account the small corridors of Silent Hill, and what's the issue?
>>258446204
i agree, i prefer creepy atmosphere than jump scares, thats why Dead Space is not scary, because you get so many jump scares that you get used to it
>>258446257
You just wanted to post that image, didn't you
Are there more to the set or is it just those two?
>>258446309
>it's not scary because it's 3rd person
this guy.
You've obviously never played video games before if you can't immerse yourself in a 3rd person game.
That's some seriously autistic shit you're spewing.
The atmosphere and visuals is what makes SH scary, not cheap shit like jump scares.
Also SH1, 3 and 4 are scarier. SH2 is just a well crafted game with an interesting premise.
I don't see how people are still saying the game's only jump scares, most of the horror stems from the stress and tension caused by sitting in a dark room with low visibility and having to multitask with the security system on limited energy. Sure there are a few jump scares, but that's basically only if you die.
>>258427357
>this is what passes for a horror game nowadays
>>258446330
The way you phrased it made it sound like you did. But fair enough, I do agree with you to an extent. Though most games are now copying the 'amnesia formula' of hiding from invincible enemies, it seems. I.e SOMA, Alien: Isolation, Slender, etc.
>>258441964
Fuck off tripfag, you almost make me want to stop loving Matt and Pat with my whole heart and being.
>>258446636
Yeah, maybe its that, i dont get immersed in 3rd person games, its nothing of autism dude, i just cant
i played 1 and 3 and there were some moments where it was very creepy, but i didnt feel "scared" at all
>>258446309
Silent Hill 2 is probably the "least scary" Silent Hill.
Its horror is in unsettling the player with strange people, foreign environments and inexplicable creatures. It just kind of makes you feel weird, and the story keeps you sort of melancholy which adds a tinge of hopelessness.
SH3 would probably be the "scariest" SH in the traditional sense.
>>258446204
But, see, jumpscares can be done well or poorly.
If a game is just literally random jumpscares with no rhyme or reason, it's shitty. See: shitty flash games and one-off indie horror things.
But, if a game follows rules and only punishes you with jumpscares, it's acceptable. There are no random jumpscares in FN@F, they always follow the rules and you only get that screaming shit as a punishment.
That said, FN@F just doesn't have all that much to it. It's an hour long game, tops. So,m while I'd make it a mark against it for only having tension and jumpscares, it's really so short that it could only be a one trick pony.
As a side note, I think the game would have so much more impact if they didn't scream at you. Just imagine turning back and seeing the fucker just standing in the room, staring at you, and then it cuts to black before the game over screen. MUCH better than a scream IMO.
>>258446636
He's not scared because of the perspective the game is in. Why are you going apeshit? He's not saying YOU can't be scared of it. He's saying it's not scary to him.
>>258446594
there's another one but I don't have it anymore and it doesn't get posted much.
>>258447054
which makes him objectively a pleb.
>>258447142
>his opinion doesn't matches my tastes, therefore he's a pleb
awesome, i love /v/
>>258447142
>objectively
Oh boy, here we go
sage
>>258447309
bloody cry about it.
Is it possible to have a thread on this game without bringing up mark/pewdiepie?
The last horror game i actually enjoyed was Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth, it had minimal jump scare shit and was just generally creepy as fuck.
>>258437001
>gameplay videos now have to be labelled with "no commentary" instead of the other way around
I hate YouTube
Is that sound foam? Did he literally cover his entire wall with sound foam
To LP
Who the fuck does this guy think he is
>>258447382
i will, just watch me
>>258447486
Kind of difficult when the OP is a webm of Markiplier.
>>258444952
FNAF threads literally days ago when the game was released had anons predicting exactly this kind of behavior, it really is pathetic.
Is there like a horror game power ranking
I remember seeing one but didnt get to save it
>>258447703
yeah, it was great when it was only Vlad and a hundreds of anons trying to beat the game
they literally predicted this situation
>>258447628
He doesn't want to get kicked out of his apartment when he screams like a little girl.
>>258447142
Grow up
>>258448090
Don't give me that shit he could buy the entire fucking complex with the money he's making
I liked Markiplier more when he just added commentary to the horror games he played.
any recent good horror games? not just games where you walk around in the dark with 0 controls, games that actually have controls or mechanics please
>>258447628
Probably cause he lives in an apartment and he's constantly screaming and making childish noises like a retard and he doesn't want to piss off his neighbours
So beside the furry shit and the whinning about this game being ''too praised'', any updates on the lore or whatever? Feels like we're gonna have to wait for an update or something if there's no new lore info.Maybe it's better this way
>>258447518
There's a new Cthulhu game in development by Frogwares.
>>258448146
>Grow up
>>258448273
Yeah but being pewdiepie 2.0 gives you more views so you get more jewgold
>mfw my friend was defending his PDP-ness yesterday
>>258447628
Someone who is respectful of his neighbors? And knows he's loud and obnoxious?
>>258447628
He's a loud dickhead, i'd imagine his neighbors have made several complaints against him, i know i would.
>>258447532
You're autistic enough that this bugs you
>>258448509
>being scared by scripts and voice recordings in a virtual reality
>>258448753
>maymays
The jump scares in this game works because it's the only actual scare in the game, and it only appears when you don't prevent it. It will be unexpected almost every time because if you'd known about it, you'd have stopped it. You can't "pretend" to scare someone by the way.
Also, jump scares used in moderation can be very effective. Pic very related.
>>258436141
You didn't play P.T. and only take the screamers out of it and miss the atmosphere did you? If so, then you have a pair of Nostalgia goggles on buddy when it comes to silent hill.
>>258448735
Pewdiepie pls go
>>258449058
yeah, that fucking mansion give me the fucking creeps
such a good game
>>258436141
So you didn't play P.T. then.
>>258449216
>read about the head being found in the washer
>that's where the next key is
>>258448478
I hope it's not point and click like their usual games
>>258449243
>P.T
it's less of a game than Gone Home, you can "play it"
and not scary at all, woo, the guy in the radio now sounds slowed, now the door is opening, now there is a fridge with blood hanging out
>>258449058
Fuck you. Ocean was not even remotely scary. It was literally just pots being thrown at you and seeing some girl standing off in the distance. I'm pretty sure they fucking reuse her model for one of the dancers in the nightclub too. Get off that fucking VTMB bandwaggon you cunt.
>>258449563
you have to admit it was pretty creepy for a game that didn't even try to be scary
>>258449539
>less of a game than Gone Home
Yeah, seeing as it wasn't a full game and involved the same interactive point and click gameplay as other horror games which are out today.
>not scary at all
What about the atmosphere was done so wrong and different from older games that get so much (maybe too much) reverence?
>>258449697
But it was trying to be scary the whole time you were in there. If this was in any other game /v/ would blast it for being garbage
post your reaction the first time you saw this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KY-OhUV4G38
>>258449697
The game had a horror vibe throughout, whether or not it was scary is up for debate.
>>258450056
You sound like you care more about the people that like it than the game itself.
