>get to this mission
>nearly have heart attack
I'm sure that it's not really scary for most people, but for a game that isn't even a horror game, that mission was pretty damn creepy.

>millenials
>>344888634
>be me
kill yourself
>>344888634
I was in the same situation as you a few years back. I just turned the sound off and tried to do it as fast as possible
>flying objects is scary
Be careful
>>344888634
I'm pretty sure it's scary for a lot of people. Especially if you play during the night, lights off and headphones on. Good stuff.
I first played that game when I was 13 and hadn't played any horror games at that point. That mission scared the hell out of me, especially because I made it a point to only play that game at night for maximum effect.
The snuff tape mission was even scarier simply because the snorting sounds those little monsters made. Fuck I hated those things.
>>344894023
>The snuff tape mission was even scarier
Fucking this
I remember I was playing it at night the first time too, and the whole thing was unsettling as shit
>enter the internet cafe, meant to be a safe place with no threats whatsoever
>music suddenly changed to this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrGmuInMc0o
I almost noped out of the game
>>344888634
was scary 1st time around, couple of days i went through the whole thinking "fuck off, ed"
>vampires afraid of darkness
fucking kek
>>344895340
That's what made it fucking great the first time you play it though.
>>344894307
>from the comments
>I played through Ocean Side Hotel as Malkavian. Fuck.
was that level different if you were a malk?
>>344894023
the sound those things make is the only thing that really startles me anymore. Other jump scares in movies and games have no effect.
>>344896615
I played it as a malkavian and didn't notice anything different
>>344888634
The hotel mission is basically a test of the player's intelligence, a smart player will realize almost immediately that your character is a fucking vampire now and essentially nothing in the house is even remotely a threat to you
If you fail this first test there's another, even more overt one later on that seems spooky until you realize you can literally feed on everyone
>>344897384
Well Therese does tell you ghosts are completely harmless. Not fully true but still. First couple playthroughs were really scary but the last one I just blitzed through the whole thing.
>>344897384
>essentially nothing in the house is even remotely a threat to you
Yeah except for the boiler room and the flames at the end
>>344897384
speeding elevator can crush you if you're not careful
>>344888634
>be me
Stopped right there.
>>344888634
Shit scared me last week, but then I randomly died in the boiler room and the 2nd time around I sequence broke and skipped the basement altogether.
>>344895340
In the VTM universe there are many things that can and will make vampires shit themselves in fear.
>>344888634
>Played through it a second time
>Thought spooky ocean hotel was going to be scary
>It actually wasn't that bad
>Get to snuff film
>Fucking panic
Jesus christ I hate the snuff film so much.
>>344898532
yeah, like cigarettes, but ghosts are not among those.
>>344888634
You can jump the stairs and skip that whole basement shit.
>>344895340
>i don't know what obtenebration is
Ocean House is pleb tier spooky. Snuff studio behind the internet cafe is the patrician's choice.
>>344894023
Did you notice three "mansions" offer three different types of horror?
>Ocean House
Spoony ghosts and surreal shit.
>King's Way
Body horror and gore galore.
>Grout's Mansion
Mindfuckery and lunatics.
>>344898532
It's more like vampires are more towards the bottom of the power level totem pole in WoD, at least when it comes to raw power.
>mfw i realized the voice was actually trying to help me out
Ocean House ghost really is best girl
>>344888634
Was a spooky mission first time I played through it, but a good kind of spooky. Had a friend play through it one night with the lights off sound turned up. After he finished and I turn on the lights dis nigga was full on sweating with beads on his forehead and sweaty palms.
Hey /v/ I plaed VtmB quite a lot of times, but I never finished it. I can't quite remember how far I have gotten but I passed the sewers and I think I was just about to start Kuei Jin and I would always play as Tremere. Should I bother playing again?
I played through this mission on the edge of my seat the whole time because of how fucking much /v/ posts about it even a decade later
...And NOTHING fucking happens
Nice one /v/, I got memed on yet again.
If there's one spooky level that continues to seriously spook me to this day, that's Thief 3's The Cradle.
Ocean House is good but The Cradle is where it's at in terms of spooky.
>>344899542
Anyone?
>>344899542
It depends. What made you stop? At that point you've seen around 80% of the game's content.
A lot of people say Chinatown is unfinished, but I love that hub - ambience music is great and the quests are funny as shit.
But if you didn't like it by Chinatown, maybe the game just isn't your thing.
>>344899542
If you got to the sewers, you only have one hub with much less content than the others, and the endgame sequence which is pretty much all combat. Even though the game definitely goes downhill after the sewers you're still missing some neato stuff and pretty close to the ending so I'd say go for it.
>>344900012
I always stopped because my PC needed a clean sweep or shit like that. Probably started and stopped playing the game 5 times.
>you are a fucking vampire dude what are you scared of XD
no I'm a fucking human being behind a screen you ass burgers
>>344899795
My fucking man. The Cradle is a masterpiece in sound design and atmosphere building. Even to this day, knowingthe first half of the level has absolutely no real threatsI still get freaked out just listening to it.
Honestly, you don't even need to be in game to experience that level's fear. Just listen to this shit with headphones at night alone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Md0FLVpdPnw
>>344890182
>>344898657
>that hentai
STOP!
>>344900678
I always get sad when I see emergence panels.
>>344900187
Well, if you were enjoying the game, I'd say go for it. There's still quite a bit of fun to be had. You also get a lot of experience points, that'll allow you to upgrade your abilities and also the final tier of items, which are also cool
>>344897384
Yeah, this was my thinking back then, once I saw the ghost wasn't really going to hit me with that axe.
Btw, fireaxe is one of the best melee weapons in the game, don't forget to pick it up behind the sofa, or on top of the elevator if you're using wesp's patch.
FUCKING BLOOD DIVING WOLFMAN

Is something afoot? We keep having these on regular basis.
>>344902251
We never stopped having them so how nu r u?

>>344901023
Hey.
>>344903083
>saw people posting about it before i even played the game
>still nearly shit myself the first time i stumbled across it
>>344888634
Not OP, but I was so surprised how scary this level was, it's like a complete 180 from what the game was up until then.
Just played this game yesterday on /v/'s recommendation. good work, fellas. Any other games similar to this?
Yes, i'm a underage, but i like to learn from things before my time when it comes to vidya.
>>344903458
>Any other games similar to this?
The ONLY good vampire game/series ever released besides VTMB is the Legacy of Kain series.
Good luck playing those, though. Every game besides Blood Omen 2 and Defiance has the most godawful gameplay. I played them when they came out and I can barely stomach any game besides those two and SR2, sometimes.
If you want games with a similar vibe, give Deus Ex: Human Revolution a try.

Wesp5 has good intentions, no doubt, but he made a few unnecessary changes.
