“Single-player games shouldn’t be treated like their live-service counterparts.”

What are your criteria? Because eroge fans will recommend you everything from Fate/Stay Night to Demon’s Roots and I am not kidding when I say there is a world of difference between the two.

I’m glad you’re enjoying it! I agree that it’s a great Lovecraft-Lite game; I just think it should be advertised with the caveat that, if you’re looking for a game like Arkham Horror or Call of Cthulhu, this ain’t it.

I got the game on sale and it works for the price (14.99$, so 25% off), but—and this is big—if you’re looking for an “eldritch horror” game or an investigative-horror adventure game, there are better options.

While I agree with the overall vibe of the game, it is still very lacking in literally anything that resembles gaming or horror.

“Folx, I’m falling in love. If you ever wanted to combine the gloom of the original Killzone with gameplay from Titanfall and F.E.A.R. as well as Doom and its neo-retro children—and toss in some immaculate vibes from 1995’s Ghost in the Shell for good measure—then let me tell you about Sprawl.”

Good. She’s an admitted shotacon and I’m glad she won’t be given a platform anymore.

TF do you mean “““poor taste”””? They literally just accepted Ken Akamatsu, a known supporter and “admirer” of Lolicon, into their legislative branch. Like...

It’s not that hard, though? Or maybe the 3DS version is easier? The only boss that really gave trouble to people I’ve seen play is the Dolphin, which is mostly because you only get one real hint about what its weakness is.

The Coyote is there because the game incorporates Native American and lgonquian folklore as its backdrop—you go on Vision Quests and everything to figure out parts of the plot that you weren’t specifically there for. It’s probably one of the few games that actaully uses this kind of folklore without being overtly…

Welcome to the argument that has been going on in videogame theory and design academia for years lol

This just makes me want a new or remade version of Ghiren’s Greed so badly.

How to you figure? Just because he made SA, or...?

Yeah, his phrasing was why I opened the link in the first place. I was expecting to see some giant novel length forum post about how the dude was abusive, especially given that the rest of the article mentions he’s a violent domestic abuser; but her post is literally just a reply almost at the bottom of its own page…

via LadyAmbien, for those in the comments who are too lazy to click on a link but still want to defend this dude:

I feel like people that have this take aren’t considering the fact that Inscryption is part of a series, and that it’s just another link in a much bigger story.

That’s not at all what I’m saying, you absolute peanut.

But as it stands, the game is merely a cliched experiment dredged from the same shallow pool as the internet’s most contrived, YouTube-baiting pseudo-mysteries.

There can be a middle ground between these two thoughts.
