What Games Are You Playing?

I think that particular video is staged a bit just with some of the things he says, and after playing it myself.

There's plenty of videos on Youtube of people's reactions of playing Dead Space and FEAR as well.

Like I said before, no video does this game justice on being scary. I've played FEAR, not Dead Space (should have got it when it was on sale last week), and Amnesia and FEAR are too different types of horror really. Amnesia just gets extremely uncomfortable in parts. I recommend getting it if you have a spare $20 to blow on a game, or wait until it's on sale.

Really

There's plenty of videos on Youtube of people's reactions of playing Dead Space and FEAR as well.

And I feel the same about those as well.

LOL I never was the "watch a scary movie and scream out loud or hide under the blanket" type of person. This makes me a boring person amongst those that do

Anyway I wasn't criticizing you for posting the video, just commenting on the dramatics of the clip itself.

It's all good

 

[Everlong]

Lol, yea I've not screamed or anything while playing this game. I just jump out of my seat and nearly hit the ceiling.

There's a version a British guy does, and at the same part as the video posted he runs out of that area and stands in a safe area and just cries, lol. Over the top again, but funny.

 

[sygnus21]

Don't get me wrong, I've had my jumpy moments in games - the first time I played FEAR and Alma popped out the clear in scared the heck out of me cause it was so unexpected.

Another time I was playing FEAR and came around a corner and got blasted with a shotgun.... the sound of the gun made me jump so bad I actually thought I got shot. LOL.

So yeah I've had moments that made my pulse race, but nothing extreme like in the video

Anyway I'm going to have to find this and give it a try.

Thanks

This one i was playing Dead Space 1, and i had to deal with 3 or 4 black necros. Just a few plasma shots, and careful use of stasis. After killing them all with melee attacks i sobbed for about 20 whole minutes. so it can happen, sure some videos may seem staged but thats not always the case. it could be a genuine reaction, like what i had.

There's a demo actually on Steam. Definitely grab it and try it.

Im playing FIFA 11 and GTA 4 also i was playing Homefront very short in my opinion, but its a good game, and another that i want to try could be CoD black ops but i dont know, its a good game? how long is?

 

[vierasniper]

COD black ops is a good game, if you like FPS's. Some people might find long, others short. I rushed thru the game and finished it in like 7 or 8 hours.

Well, here my take on it.

Amnesia really doesn't have alot of stuff that just jumps out and startles you for scares, like in Dead Space. (Although I do really like DS, just a bit different type of horror )

But, if you do as it suggests .. and do not play the game to win,
but just immerse yourself in the games environment, it will slowly get to you.

It will have you looking over your shoulder, and actually thinking ...
"I don't really want to go in there .."

And subtle stuff you may or may not notice that adds to it.
For example. You see a painting on the wall.
Come back by later, and its changed.

Sometimes you may catch a glimpse of something, and are actually unsure if you actually seen something real or not.

Add to that the fact you are totally helpless, and the envorinment and audio and its a pretty creepy ride.
The Audio in this game really does add alot to the overall feel of the game.

LOL, sounds odd I know, but I can not explain it. I do agree, videos just do not do the game justice in the least.

Spend an hour with it in a dark room alone .. Youll see.

Some guy in my country is selling his copy of GTA IV for $10. I tried this game way back when I had a crappy PC. Maybe I'll get it and give it shot now. I love RPGs and realistic ones at that. I also see that there's a good modding community.

Let's see what'll happen.

There's been quite a lot of patches that have improved performance here and there.

I went and got the original Portal yesterday, as it was going for £10 in Morrisons, I have to say, I don't see what the fuss is about. I have had it less than a day, and have pretty much finished it already. Although there were a couple of difficult puzzles, generally I have found it quite easy so far =/

 

[Everlong]

That was the main problem with Portal 1.

Yes, I heard that even Dual Core processors are able to tun this quite smoothly now.

Have you played through the game? Was it a good experience?

If your PC can run it well then it's a decent game. I enjoyed playing it. I played it when it first came out when I had a dual core and it was pretty sluggish in a lot of places. Now with a quad core, and all the patches it runs smooth and is a lot more fun to play.

Thanks for the info! Hopefully I get time to buy and play it soon.

That's like any other game on the market.... some people find them amazing while others find them meh.

At any rate I don't know if you finished the game yet or not but if you feel Portal 1 was/is easy, Portal 2 is a cakewalk.

At any rate if you feel Portal 1 was easy, Portal 2 is a cakewalk.

It just seemed to me all of the puzzles were solved in the same 3 ways, you either just opened portal A, opened portal B and walked through, you figured out how to get the energy pellet into the catcher thing, or you dropped down a big hole into a portal to catapult yourself over the obstacle. Once you've figured out how to do it once, then it's pretty much the same all over. I admit the last couple of levels were a little more challenging, but it just seemed that 90% of the game was tutorial, and then finally you get to the real game, and it's over.

Thanks for the heads up, I actually got it because I was thinking of buying Portal 2, but I think I'll give it a miss.

 

[sygnus21]

Your call.

Though I thought the puzzles were easy there are some really cool level designs and overall the game is a lot of fun game. Check this review out before making the final decision - Portal 2 review | PC Gamer
