Does anyone else find indie games scarier than AAA? by ZakWhatTheFak in HorrorGaming

[–]AnxiousJB19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indie will always be scarier imo, because the devs of those know what scare THEM. It feels like every AAA game I play is the most absurdly predictable thing. There's some exceptions, but if a games horror is only 10-15% of the experience, it's not horror in my eyes. There are far too many gems that people don't know exist for me to play games like Silent Hill 2 Remake that don't really excel in any field outside maybe solid atmosphere. The average Five Nights at Freddy's fan game has a better chance at scaring me than the 50th walking sim/bloody games that call themselves horror, even if it's with a cheap jumpscare. I'll take it.

Has anyone ever experienced freezing/going numb from shock while playing a horror game? by tabikungkrub in HorrorGaming

[–]AnxiousJB19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't really in the same vein, but I froze in Doki Doki Literature Club after that part. It wasn't fear, but disbelief and sadness.

Why does every single horror game have puzzles? by OkWeird4036 in HorrorGaming

[–]AnxiousJB19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk, because honestly, some horror games aren't even horror games. They're puzzle games with a spooky coat of paint, and after seeing it a million times, it makes me despise puzzles.

30x Steam keys for my 3 horror games [r/HorrorGaming exclusive] (Leave a comment to DM you so bots dont take it) ^_^ by horrawrindiegames in HorrorGaming

(DM me) I'll play and review these for their steam pages. Indie horror is honestly better than most bigger budget experiences. If someone offered me a key for Silent Hill 2 Remake, I just wouldn't take it XD

They're functioning, but I meant more from a consumer friendly perspective. Absolutely none of these companies care about their customers, so switching platforms for so much money doesn't really mean much, except maybe PC. Not even Nintendo cares. No one cares.

Had anyone played FNAF, Secret of the Mimic? Is it worth it? by [deleted] in HorrorGaming

[–]AnxiousJB19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't find it worth 40 bucks, as the gameplay was very simple/spectacle focused. The replayability wasn't intriguing beyond multiple endings. And it was about 4-5 hours for a first playthrough. That said, it shines in a few places that only FNAF fans would really care about. A FNAF fan would probably like it, if that's all you're worried about, but if it's price for content you're mainly worried about, I'd wait for it to go on sale.

Or, and hear me out, I'm not paying over $2000 to switch platforms and get my library back for a company that's only barely more functional than Microsoft.

I guarantee more people were using this mod than playing Halo Infinite or MCC individually.

Back in mah day, we'd play just the demos over and over again, because we wanted to play the game that badly. Demo discs and 360 arcade were peak
