>>273025392
accept no substitute
I don't have a pic, but when you get to one of the swamps in DAI. Constantly raining, everything is spooky, the godam lightning strikes right near your head. Pretty good.
The atmosphere surpassed the gameplay.

>>273029245
It's a great compilation of a shitload of good ideas executed semi-poorly. So it's a semi-functional prototype of what Far Cry 3 should have been but never even tried to be.
Mother 2 and 3 are also great, but there was something about the first Mother that kept me on the edge of my seat at all times.
>>273025392
>>273029587

>>273029867
Yeah, Demons Souls did the atmosphere way better than any of the other souls games. Not saying the other ones are bad or anything, but they just don't feel the same.

>>273025392
here's an easy one
>>273030220
AION has always been kind of an odd duck with me. It's like an MMO I want to get into, but somewhere along the line(usually after you get out of the starting area) I just drop it. But then I forget why I dropped it, and go back. Thus the cycle continues.
>>273026689

Absolutely based
>>273025632
What is this?
I loved the environments, art style etc,
>>273027676
You just really need to take it slow and build up better arsenal first. Many people love the early "hobo phase", but I know it can be tough time for many new players.
>>273027889
Living next to real Chernobyl zone of alienation kinda does that. Many of the buildings in the games are based on real places.
>>273028826
Vanilla STALKER games are brilliant IMO. But if you got time, the AMK1.4 can make the game even better
>>273030469
AION is a superb "artistic" game.
The graphics, the atmoshere, THE MUSIC etc are superb, but it is, after all a korean MMO.
Do you remember Dark poeta? It's the most atmospheric instance ever made.
The music was the same as in Poeta, but sadder and "violent".

Eh, HL's atmosphere is really not all that impressive.
It's just better than games that don't put emphasis in atmosphere.
>>273031702
which one is that? I really liked king's field 2, got to a part with a lot of spooky scary skelletons and a town with floating enemies, lost my saves though
The term you're all looking for is "immersion" or "immersed". Atmosphere is just as butchered as "comfy" here, you people cant seem to grasp common english.

An unorthodox pic, maybe, but Donkey Kong Country. The first one a lot than any of the other ones. That original soundtrack and its much more grounded, debased aesthetic compared to DKC2 and DKC3 (which generally were more colorful, jaunty and goofy in artstyle, with more wholly upbeat and melodic music) made it pretty intense.
I mean, listen to this. This song, in levels with blowing snow covering the whole screen in a bleak, grey and white mountain snowscape (that happens to house the hardest stretch of levels in the game)...goddamn, man. It still gets me.

Have you played
>>273032237
?
F.E.A.R's scripted events were much better, and weren't repetitive.
Doom 3 was just the first AAA spooky shooter around that time, and had a head start. Even Quake 4's scripted events weren't as repetitive, so I guess they learned their lesson by then.

>>273031932
I actually think MM's atmosphere is very overrated. It is great in Clock Town and the observatory, but it seems much worse in the Swamp and Mountain areas. They seem far less developed than the other areas. Also, the dungeon atmosphere is poor, and really pales in comparison to the dungeon atmosphere of OoT. The Forest and Spirit temples have amazing atmosphere, way more than the temples in MM.
So I like the game, but I'm not totally crazy about it either. I think OoT, all around, has a superior atmosphere.

I'm aware the art-style doesn't speak for a very atmospheric game, until you put on your headphone and listen to some of the best sound-design in gaming-history.
Especially Book of Shadows is great in that department.

The Metro games. They nailed the post apocalyptic, dead city atmosphere perfectly. The atmosphere in the metros is also very unique.
The only downside to this game was the poor voice acting and dialogue that sounds like it was written by a 14-year old. It's just plain bad.
Tiberian Sun had a great atmosphere, and the music really added to it. The same could be said for Emperor, Battle for Dune.
>>273033841
ignoring the autism this game was pretty neat to have a private server with a couple of dudes and making a couple towns,
Rip Cliffburg.
>>273034448
Yeah, what was I thinking. Games with their own engines are totally better than them. I guess Five Nights is truly the spookiest and most inventive and best looking game in the world....

>>273033462
Not really. I can see what you're trying to say - you definitely felt far more lost in the original Metroid - but you never felt as immersed.
>>273035492
>>273035696
I'd shit my pants if it happened to me
>>273033576
You made it that far?
I wish there was some kind of modern-age Pokemon Snap game where you aren't on rails, and instead you venture into caves and jungles and shit and just observe/photograph pokemon doing their shit. It would be all about ambience, design, visuals, etc. to maximize immersion. Each pokemon would have unique animations, making them truly seem like animals. You could watch them fighting each other and all kinds of shit, doing crazy pokemon things.
I fucking loved the atmosphere in Flower, Sun, and Rain. It's a shame that Suda51 doesn't make games like these anymore

are the extra missions that come with metro last light worth playing? I kind of got bored after finising the main quest and didn't bother. It is way too linear for my taste. Great first playthrough but not much replayability value in the metro
>>273036830
I know. but people automatically bring the 3rd into it when talking about atmosphere.
Plus in my eyes 2 ruined the overall theme by making him talk and giving him a vagina.

>>273037324
Is this the same game?
>>273037347
It's also an ok game.
>>273036976
Transistor is more strategic, non-action oriented when it comes to gameplay, unlike Bastion. In Transistor, you freeze time, then plan out your limited movements and attacks using a combination of four abilities (which you choose from a pool of fifteen or so total abilities + various upgrades and modifiers) to deal the most damage. By the end of the game, shit can get pretty intense and quite difficult. It's well-balanced.
I thought Bastion's gameplay was incredible for an isometric action game (I liked it a lot more than Diablo), especially on the highest difficulty levels with all the idols turned on. Don't know how you'll react to Transistor though. I can't imagine how anyone could think Bastion was boring.
