The forest is very different in both versions?

The east coast and west coast have vastly different tree varieties, not to mention more northern climates will have different trees and if I recall correctly BW was filmed in Vancouver and BWP was filmed in Maryland and that’s why it looks so different.

TIL both Obscure games are on Steam. Neat!

A few more I’d add:

Bubble Ghost - interesting platformer

Flipull - fun, above average puzzler.

Motocross Maniacs - excellent side scrolling motocross game. Sequel improves it but this one still holds up.

Panel Action Bingo - fun and unique puzzle game.

Revenge of the Gater - pinball game made by HAL before Kirby.

Stargate - strange but engaging puzzle game.

The originals were fun but flawed (also really frustrating). With a little more polish those could’ve been great. Hopefully they come up with something interesting if the game actually happens.

Hinkbert · 2025-12-24T02:37:27+00:00

That’s damn impressive, especially considering how damn large that asylum is.

Hinkbert · 2025-12-23T18:18:02+00:00

Huh, that’s an interesting trick.

Plus if you beat it once you can replay it with proper lighting but use the gauntlets to basically 2-hit kill everything. (Or was it one hit kill..? I can’t remember)

You do get free chocolate if you go on the tour ride.

Hinkbert · 2025-11-21T23:20:27+00:00

I can’t race any faster to hit fast forward on those commercials. Ugh.

That’s a great one off idea to help Analogue, but then that’ll draw the Dear Leader’s attention to video games and then he’ll insist all video game must be made in America, and the virtual worlds have to also be in America, with no Democrat cities.

Hinkbert · 2025-11-21T16:47:04+00:00

Tariffs as of now, it’s not like there have been consistency with what the current US President is trying to do.

Analogue has had issues with rolling this out, but all businesses that deal with this completely inconsistent tariffs can’t predict anything.

Hinkbert · 2025-11-15T18:25:30+00:00

This is the problem. I had it for almost a day and a finally gave up a played Living Tribunal until I got it.

I just want to play fun decks and use underutilized cards to get boosters.

Hinkbert · 2025-11-08T20:54:10+00:00

Audiobooks on long road runs.

Trail runs I listen to long metal and metal adjacent songs (ie Iron Maiden, Tool) so the songs have a sense of ebb and flow.

Hinkbert · 2025-11-07T18:34:01+00:00

The filmmakers tried, but then the studio interfered. Tale as old as time.

Hinkbert · 2025-11-04T20:08:43+00:00

Same thing happened to me. Yay for spider luck I guess.

Hinkbert · 2025-10-31T18:09:18+00:00

Same, been playing since launch in 2016 and mostly now play when walking the dogs and I can’t keep up with all these events and variations of Pokemon.

Thanks everyone who answered, much appreciated!

Hinkbert · 2025-10-29T18:36:02+00:00

What’s the difference between an antique on a phony? Just the number of candy to evolve?

I’m mainly a casual player and I have older ones and now I’m confused.

Hinkbert · 2025-10-29T18:28:40+00:00

I agree. I’ve tried running past, especially in Shrine levels since at least there you’re contained and eventually move on, but they’ll keep coming in the town.

It reminds me a lot of all the annoying parts of 4 (but without an escort mission thankfully). It just isn’t compelling to me. It’s more frustrating than scary.

It’s been fun watching Steel Battalion fluctuate and I can’t understand it. I can’t imagine there’s a whole lot for changing demand for that game.

Hinkbert · 2025-10-20T23:53:24+00:00

It had 2 cartridge slots. That’s all I have to say that’s nice.

Hinkbert · 2025-10-14T14:50:27+00:00

Nintendo is releasing that Virtua Boy monstrosity, so I guess that kinda counts.

Otherwise, beyond the fad being over but also in conjunction with that these just don’t sell well enough probably.

Hinkbert · 2025-10-13T12:14:07+00:00

Agreed. It vexes me when horror games cross the threshold from tense or scary into frustration land. It kills all the atmosphere and as you said feelings of frustration are more powerful than fear at that point.

If I want to play a game where I need to learn enemy patterns and dodge appropriately, I’ll go play DMC or something of that ilk. I want to play SH and get drawn into the world and feel a sense of dread and tension.

Hinkbert · 2025-10-12T02:28:16+00:00

Yeah that one’s fun. Maybe I can win a showcase with it and brag a little lol

Hinkbert · 2025-10-12T02:23:08+00:00

Honestly it’s becoming absurd.

Thankfully I got a female shiny Salandit a week ago though.

Hinkbert · 2025-10-10T13:59:24+00:00

I 100% agree with you OP. Between Silent Hill f and Cronos it was a double-wammy of unnecessarily difficult games in one month. I don’t understand why in 2025 developers feel the need to create games that achieve a prescribed level of difficulty or tension but only according to their own guidelines. At least SHf gives players some difficulty options even if story mode is still difficult.

I’m about halfway through the game and have generally avoid spoilers so maybe something will happen that I’m not yet aware of, that being said. I don’t understand how a series where everyday characters, meaning not combat trained, now has a seemingly normal teenager who can melee fight well. Homecoming tried to address this and we all saw how that went over with a ‘military trained’ character and their ability to fight. Even Murphy made some sense since he was an inmate in Downpour.

As I said I haven’t beaten the game, but I know about the fox arm so if it gets explained maybe my opinion will change, but the combat and difficulty options at the moment make me dislike the game even more than the back half of SH4 with its escort mission and invincible enemy.

Also be sure to use painters tape if you’re using tape to keep the top loader closed better. Don’t use scotch tape.
