Why do spiders get so overlooked in games? They're always just low level grind fodder. Other monsters get loads of attention, like dragons and snakes, but spiders are never allowed to be interesting. I want there to be more good spiders.

Pic related, a good spider (with spider MILF qualities)

Griffins are pretty overlooked too

Spiders are inherantly horrifying.

Griffons aren't very stylish, I suppose. Harry Potter killed them.

What?

There seems to be a surprising number of arachnophobes in the gamer population, so maybe developers don't want to alienate a lot of their customers by scaring the shit out of them.

>>318801771
Also this.

>>318801295
Apparently some people have an irrational fear of spiders, so i'm guessing devs are trying to limit exposure just enough to cater to a wider audience. I mean, Skyrimjob did start with a bunch of big spiders right in the first cave, but not boss-sized big.

Then again, hilariously big spiders probably lose enough suspension of disbelieve to go back to not being scary again, I can only theorize.

Because no vidya spider will ever dethrone Shelob as the best spider in fiction, always wanted to play that battle in an actually good videogame, shit was so intense in the book.

Insects/arachnids/arthropods are even more unrelatable to us than reptiles, what do you expect?

Nerscylla from MH4U is one hell of a fight when you're starting off.

I had a fear of spiders but friendly spiders have made it better.

Because spiders scare the everloving shit out of a lot of people.

This is more like a scorpion, but they're all arachnids so close enough.

Whats the name of that spider bitch n LoL ?
I used to own with her a lot. I think she was considered OP too.
>>
>>318802618
I grew up around a lot of those inch-long beige house spiders which actually help a lot with pest control, so I never had a problem with them at all. Each spider I see counters a dozen worse things that I won't see.

That's not the case for me. Dark Messiah had a huge fuckoff spider and that thing was scary as fuck.

She's fun as fuck. I usually hate micro but with her it's satisfying.

Do you like horro games, anon?

Also phobias aren't rational, that's usually the point.

Why did you post a picture of a giant leech in a spider thread?
>>
>>318803369
I didn't find anything about them scary, I just found it irritating getting poisoned all the time.
>>
>>318801295
That's not true necessarily. Plenty of games go out of their way to have Giant Spider lairs.

I want a Souls combat LOTR game so badly, just for a Shelob fight. Bouncing on to the cave walls, shooting web to hinder your movement, a rapid stinger attack. God damn it. Also fighting Berserkers, pretty much any defensive part. Fuck.
