Totally, man. I'm not looking at it through rose-tinted glasses, either, first time I finished it was in 2008 or 2009 I think?

Those are pretty creepy- but it's the legs-on-legs mannequin things that get me.

Yeah, that's a good point. Developers have to work harder now to make enemies scary because lack of detail and creepy animations just doesn't cut it.

Haha, cool story. That's not surprising at all. I think altogether it took me about three years to finish. I bought it in 2005 or so, started it- got too scared and stopped. Thenin 2008 or so I picked it back up, determined to finish it. Fucking hell it was worth it.

It's unbelievable isn't it. Other games are scary, but none capture true horror like Silent Hill 2. It pushes every button just enough at just the right moments. Perfectly paced and perfectly written and perfectly designed.

Haha, fair enough man. The thing is, it's just a genuinely great game for the gameplay and adventure and immersion, that I'd recommend it to anyone.

Goddamn, man. Thanks for sharing. That's why it's such an important game, eh? Initially it seems like your typically abstract, detached Japanese horror game, but in the second half it suddenly gets so purely human. So really well observed and clever.

Totally man. Totally. I always forget that line. Though I find the "There was a hole here" bit horrific, too, for no reason!

Absolutely fair.

That's a good point.

See those semi-invisible babies? I worked out what they are the other day.

Oh god, then don't play it.

Horror is kinda my thing. The scariest experiences are tied for me between this and Amnesia. Those games get it- and it sounds like Outlast does as well. But this is mine. How come nobody has mentioned:

Man, F.E.A.R. is nothing. So unscary. Action horror like Dead Space or Resi 4-6. I played the whole thing and didn't flinch once.

Contrary to what that other guy said, the Battlefield series are not difficult to get into at all.

Burning Chromse: The Man With The One-Phrase Answers And The William Gibson Short Story Collection Name.

Fifteen minutes in on Youtube. Totally awesome. Might suggest it for an all-night horror movie retro cinema lock-in which takes place a couple of times a year over here.

What's the last one from? I wanna watch that movie.

See, you're totally right, but to put it bluntly... The plain 'ole brick is better than that. TLoU has that sublime "life or death" feel to its gameplay which means that just throwing a brick either to distract a guy, or to cave his face in, feels like a life or death choice and that you're going to have to deal with…

Sandman is one of the best works of literature ever created. So absolutely great. Such a fun read, too, unlike many seminal works.
