like it's legit scary. existential scary. i don't get fazed by monster, blood and gore. jumpscare startles me sometimes, but it probably only last for like 10 seconds before you realize the artificiality of it all. but spoiler getting stuck in complete darkness alone, forever until you cease to exist which is a long time because you're a dead body supported by super nanomachine. like it's been almost a year since i finished the game, it still come across my mind sometimes. one way or another and it always mini-freaked me out.

I think Amnesia was better than SOMA as a game, but the psychological/existential shit in SOMA was incredible.

It's a great game but no

Resident Evil 7 and RE2/3make alone are better and thats just 1 franchise

I watched Jesse Cox's LP of it and I think it's the most enraged I've ever been at him and his friends. They're very vehemently on the side of "this is just a copy, not a real person" things and thus absolutely miss the point of most of the game.

IIRC, the issue was more that they were calling the story dumb because of that.

Of course you know that you're going to be harshly punished for this mistake. We don't tolerate that sort of misinformation here.

I think Dues Ex HR/and MD have dumb stories for failing to explain why people act like augmentions are that big of a deal and never really expressing a valid reason to be so opposed to them

People love the plot of those games

Just different thoughts for different folks dude, no reason to be angry about it

I thought it wasn't nearly as scary as amnesia or visage. But it did have an amazing premise and great story all through the end. Even if it did basically tell you the ending from the get go

Yeah the story definitely gives you a tension that no other really do. In terms of the enemies, I think only one or two were truly terrifying and the rest were just kind of there. It is the area of the game I feel was pretty weak, as the game didn't really have all that many scares. All of it's fright was in the story and setting, with some secondary sources from monsters.

I think RE7 takes it for me

SOMA was great because the entire game had a charm in respect to the underwater environment fronted by the logs.. just felt like that couldve been a real scenario because of how well they executed certain things

RE sorta takes it for me.. I tried to enjoy the Outlast games as well and they didnt hit quite the same as SOMA or RE7

Heard subnautica is supposed to be pretty cool too.. no idea about that
