When did you realize that atmosphere is the most important aspect of a game?

Not eastern games. They are made by chinese americans wanting to spread their shitty propaganda in the east.

dark souls 1 has way better atmosphere than bloodborne. why do people think good art style means good atmosphere?
Nathan Reed
You say that like it's a bad thing.
Elijah James
nigga, play SMT: Nocturne, its the game with the all red cover
William Rogers
Metroid Prime 2 is better than 1. System Shock 1 is better than 2.
Angel Young
Agree, OP. But why are all your games examples of pretty much the same style of (dark, lonely) atmosphere? What about games with consistent and compelling atmospheres of totally different styles, like Mirror's Edge, Portal, Hotline Miami, Mass Effect 2 etc.
Brayden Martinez
Dark and mystic atmosphere is the best and most memorable.

>metal gear solid

I too like my exploration being interrupted every few minutes for an anime trope-ridden codec call.

Problem with Nocturne is that the abstract trappings of a jrpg aren't exactly conducive to atmosphere building. Invisible random encounters that teleport you to a separate battle screen is...not very immersive.
Jacob Hill
The emptiness of the world is part of the atmosphere and would be worse if you could see the enemies
Brayden Torres
The Super Baby Method?
Oliver Green
IV lacks the unified art direction of Kaneko and the 3DS graphics don't do the art style very much justice. IV's atmosphere is mostly carried through its unrivaled OST.

>The emptiness of the world is part of the atmosphere and would be worse if you could see the enemies
? It's as empty as any jrpg, meaning not at all, since you're constantly tripping on enemies to fight.
Lucas Hill
anyone else was /filtered/ by system shock 2
too scary
Angel Howard
After playing Dark Souls. Here's some feet.
Ayden Bailey
Witcher 1 should've been here too.
Lucas Jackson
Can I play Gothic 2 without mods?
Luke Myers
is FEAR really that atmospheric? it feels artificial to me.
also add Rain World
Isaac Jenkins
FEAR is super overrated if you ask me. It just seemed like a generic shooter set in a dark office.
Luke Perez
No diablo 1
No arx fatalis
No hexen
No betrayer
Incredibly bad picture

Atmosphere is king because atmosphere for video games is broader than something like a movie or book. Every part of the game contributes to the atmosphere including the gameplay, that's why some walking sims that f focus purely on atmosphere are somehow cold and soulless. If a game has the atmosphere of you're a badass, it has to give you those tools and not just make it a cutscene, likewise if something is dangerous or oppressive it has to instill an actual threat and not a perceived one. Oddworld is a good example there, compared the atmosphere and how it works with the gameplay of the first two games then compare it to Soulstorm coming out where it sold itself with a bleak "DARKER THAN EVER" atmosphere but has glowy zoodad zippity gook UI and press X for awesome catharsis crafting shooty gameplay.
