>>338369724
thats not a horror game, dont say bloodborne either.
Its hardly scary when your objective is to kill the fucking monsters
I like that.
Then again having no pauses in games is often useless because a lot of the times in linear games it's useless because the 'next scene' wont start playing (new enemies etc) until you reach that part of the game.
>>338369801

>>338369831
You only asked what game does it. ;^)
Why do some games not have a pause function? It makes sense for multiplayer games but if it's single player then you really don't have an excuse.
I assume SoulsBorne games don't have it because of artificial difficulty, myself.

>>338370229
I'm pretty sure souls does it for the sake of invades.Still kind of silly,but eh.
It does add tension, and you might as well quit if you're gonna leave your game, 'cause you'll respawn exactly where you quit.
>>338369534

>Its all forced bullshit that does not allow for logical choices

You can exit to title. It saves automatically anyways.

That new Fatal Frame, Maiden of Black Water? I tried playing the demo of that. Holy FUCK it was boring. I think the most exciting thing was when I was trying to lightly jog away from a ghost but the controls are sluggish and I got hit a couple of times by accident. Like, I'm not trying to sound like a badass or anything but the game wasn't really all that scary to me.
It felt more like an arcade shooter where suddenly an enemy will jump out of a corner and you want to beat it quick for a high score. It keeps you on your toes, sure, but not because of fear. You just want that high score so you're on the look out for ghosts falling off shit or phasing through walls you know?

>>338371635
That's literally the point it's fucking satire captain autismo
I wish horror games had a bit more creativity in them. For example: how many times can I hide in the goddamn closet while the brain dead monster walks in, shrugs it's shoulders and then walks away?
I also hate flickering lights because that shit just hurts my eyes.
Another big annoyance to me is when the game is so dark I can't see shit. I know darkness = spooky and all but let me at least see where I'm going.

Forbidden Siren 1 and 2. Those games get ridiculously hard at times and it gets extremely intense too. Helps that the design of the enemies are pretty fucking surreal in themselves too.
>>338370783
outlast has a few screamer moments but the actual scary parts of the game are the tense stealth moments and chase scenes
>pause the game

>>338372637
or you think you paused the game, but it actually was just your inventory that covers the whole screen
>>338371483
no, you are correct. I really wanted to like maiden of blackwater but it was a shit ass game, it wasnt scary at all, it was looked awful and played so sluggish I was more angry than I ever was scared. It's fucking annoying that 100% ing that game requires instant reaction time with the snail pace controls and mechanics.
Seriously, the scariest parts were picking up an item, since 1/10 times a hand grabs you. I'm a bitch, I couldn't make it past the intro of dead space. Maiden of black water is unscary babby shit.

I've seen this problem in horror games where it's too easy to die to something. FNAF is probably a good example, where later on it gets stupidly hard and you'll die a lot.
The problem with this is that if you die a lot you get exposed to the same thing and it stops being scary. Plus, a lot of monsters lose their fear factor once you've actually seen them. This is especially true for indie horror games where they can't actually model a scary looking monster so once you see it kill you, the fear is gone.
Of course, if you can't die then there's nothing to really fear either. Can't be scared if you feel safe.
So I guess the trick is constantly dangle the THREAT of death but don't plan on actually following through too hard?
>>338369738
While you're in the pause menu the game keeps running in the background. That means you can be killed by enemies while you browse your items for example.
>>338371039
The weird early PS2 graphics made the ghosts look spookier than the rest of the series.

>>338369743
Pretty sure that had a pause screen...
Don't recall if it worked in the first-person apartment sections though.
>>338378406
Ib did this too.
More games should do this, it's great to catch people subtly off guard like that instead of just putting in spooky jumpscares.even though that was what almost the entirety of witch's house was
>>338372829
>>338378917
I like howwaiting outside the house at the beginning of the game kills Viola eventually and you just walk in

>>338378892
Yume Nikki, .flow, Yume 2kki, LISA: The First, Yume Nishi, Mad Father, Ib, Mogeko Castle, Wadanohara, Mermaid Swamp, and Dreaming Mary are all good. I wouldn't recommend The Crooked Man or Ao Oni.
>>338372293
I played Siren: Blood Curse on PS3 as my first FS game and everyone said that was great.
Expect a really specific parts, the game feltabsolute boring.
The fucking final boss just literally wrecked the entire sense of the game and i had see check my eye-sight by how fucking bad was the arena.
Don't forget the abuse of re-using the same maps for multiple reasons.Should i ignore this game and try the ps2 games?
>>338379592
Why not Crooked Man or Ao Oni?
I've heard of them but I don't a lot about them
>>338379984
The Crooked Man has a fantastic, Silent Hill-esque story, but horror wise, it's literally pop up scares. Remember that video from 2006 with the car driving down the road? Those kinds of pop up scares.
Ao Oni actually isn't bad, either. I mostly don't recommend it because I laugh like a hyena when I see the oni instead of getting scared.

What was the point then?
I really hate the "find the notes" thing horror games try to do. Sometimes it just devolves into someone poorly reading for the next 5 minutes or it goes into bullshit exposition that no one cares about. Why beat around the bush that the monster is an alien if you're in an alien research facility being chased by an alien? Don't get fucking coy with me, collectable notes.
