The last good horror game is 6 years old

What went wrong?

horror is not very popular with mainstream audiences outside of watching their favorite yt personality make a reaction video where they overdramatically jump at every small scare.

wtf r u talking about
it has bad reviews and almost everyone shat on it
it's literally a garbage bin sale title

Still can't finish it. I just go to pieces with alien games.

pretty much this, people rather watch horror than engage in it.

retard

Good luck finishing it when you get the flamethrower and the alien becomes trivial but there's still like 8 hours left

Play Darkwood.

How the fuck do you get scared?
It may be disturbing, but not scary.

Alien Isolation came out around the same time as the evil within and TEW shits all over that game. Alien Isolation is a slow and boring mess once you figure out how the alien works. I've stopped playing it because it took way too long and was just more like a chore than actual enjoyment when I made the alien leave the space station. Never looked back

The only good one here is Soma though.

it was unsettling
yes
resident evil is good

Alien did run on kind of long, but it's a shame you couldn't get more fun out of it. I enjoyed it a lot, but I'm a huge fan of the movie. Glad someone mentioned TEW though because it was great. I thought the sequel was really good too.

>RE
>not horror
???

>resident evil is good
lol no
latest REmakes gameplay are outdated as fuck, literally PS3 tier

they're action games, the 'horror' is a background scenery gimmick

Imagine thinking ANYONE cares about your contrarian opinion

I win

you lose

you can't be serious

seething retard

>tfw I'm a huge Alien fan but too spooked to make it past the 4th mission
I've had the game since launch, how do I not get spooked

That's because the hardest part of the game is in the very beginning, where you need to rely on unreliable enemy AI to sneak past a bunch of hostile humans. Most players are shitters and gave up then and there. You know, 5 minutes before the player gets to the first true AYY encounter. So they gave the game a bad score because they were too shit to make it into the part where the game gets good.

I just finished it. The Medical level is the worst, everything else isn't as difficult. You can do it bro

Flamethrower is trivial on any difficulty less than hard. At hard or higher, the Alien stops giving a fuck. I found that Molotov's and Pipe Bombs get better results. Bomb his ass and he'll actually leave you alone for a while

I had a harder time with these fuckers.

>(you)

I take it you're talking about AAA games because there's been a lot of good indie shit. Still REmake 2 was good, not the masterpiece it could have been because of lazy B scenarios, but still good

Find someone to play with. Either in the same room, or on discord or something. I have a few friends who can't do horror alone. I on the other hand can't do it with people because I actually want the spooks.

why didn't they make more of these? it was great

But Pathologic 2 came out last year?

They made a shitty mobile game, but thats it. Who knows if we'll get a proper sequel, I hope so, and its not dashed because small brain game journo's got filtered

good one mate you almost had me fuming
based. IF you haven't picked this up yet anons, give it a whirl and if you aren't feeling it past the 1st hour and 45 minutes just refund it. It's not for everyone and I don't want to see more posts from people bitching about how they played it too long and couldnt refund.

They didn't make a shitty mobile game. It was a small Finnish studio that are literally my irl friends and they still don't like talking about it. SEGA fucked up the PR when they announced a mobile tie-in that many years late and never even considered a sequel. And the mobile devs of course got all the heat for that shit.

>how do I not get spooked

The spook and tension comes from fear of lost progress. Save often. Also, the Molotov and Pipe Bomb will get the alien to fuck off - he'll also chase flares (eventually he'll stop), and while he's eating other people, you can basically fast-walk away and do whatever you want. The motion tracker is also fairly useless, and becomes very unreliable if he's in the vents. Eventually you'll just start relying on your ears to tell you whats going on. At halfway through the game I stopped using the tracker completly

>publisher shits the bed and the devs get the blame

Sounds like another day in video gaming. Sorry about the devs, that must really suck. I really hope Blackout isn't considered a sequel because ffs what a waste
