Brick Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 With October here, it's time for some horror fun once again! In the spirit of the spooky season Shocktober is all about playing horror games! Yes you're encouraged to get scared for fun. Unlike Backlaugust these games don't necessarily have to be from your backlog (although that's always encouraged to chip away at), these can be games that you want to replay, new games coming out, or games you haven't played yet but always wanted to pick up, ex. have you been wanting to play Resident Evil 7? Then it'll more than likely go on sale this month, so go ahead and buy it and finally play through it. The only requirement is that the games be horror themed. Survival horror, action horror, doesn't matter, any horror works! Even something Halloween themed works even if it isn't exactly horror and/or scary. From now until the end of Halloween night let's encourage each other to brave through these frightening games and have fun along the way! Last year I said I was finally going to play through Dead Space 3, and the Telltale Walking Dead games, but unfortunately I was working two jobs at the time, so I wasn't able to. This year hopefully I can work to rectify that. I also have the RE games from the Humble Bundle from a little while ago, and I still need to beat Castlevania Lords of Shadow. I have a lot to choose from. So let's get started, and have fun encouraging each other, and discussing what we're currently playing. Don't forget to spoiler tag anything that might ruin something for someone else who hasn't yet played a game as there's nothing scarier than an unwelcomed surprise spoiler! I'll add a finished list so we can see what we've made through. Happy Haunting!

best3444 Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Killing two birds with one stone. I'm going to beat Prey soon which was in my back log but is also a horror game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will you play it vanilla, or install the mod that removes the combat (or it might actually have been updated to include that as a default option now)?

The developers added "Safe Mode" as an actual default option a while back and considering how terrible the combat is supposed to be, I'm definitely gonna go with that one!

TheLeon Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I’ll finally play The Quarry, which I got from a @Commissar SFLUFAN giveaway earlier this year. I took a few days off this week, so I might just take one of those and play right through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedarkstark Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Going to finally play RE Vllage once 3rd person update drops, not a fan of how claustrophobic a lot of fps feel, even if you crank up the FoV it doesnt help much on a game like this because there are so many tight corridors.

Good decision. Village controls so awkwardly in FP. I wish they just go back to 3rd person all together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxEvil AshxX Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 This will give me a good excuse to play Until Dawn for the first time. I think I'll lug the PS4 into the living room and me and the wife can give it a go. Is it cutscene driven or is it like Man of Medan where it's part walking sim? Cuz we tried doing Man of Medan but she checked out after a while. If it's just cutscenes where we have to make choices and do QTE's then I think she'll have more interest. I will probably do another playthrough of RE Village once the third person patch comes out. And I'll probably be checking out Scorn next week too. I only have about a thousand horror based games in my library, but that being said, my PC library is pretty scant. Is Phasmophobia any good for single player? Or is just one of those games that's good for streaming but kinda boring on your own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepee Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Apparently mine will be Vampire Survivors as I am rather getting into it and the 1.0 update is coming. If by some miracle I get a 4090 then I might play the Quarry around Halloween, but I’m waiting on the 4090 for that so I can hit 4k/60 on it.

crispy4000 Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Not in the mood for anything all that frightening this year. Leaning towards Bloodstained, but I'm considering Shadow of Mordor and Doom 2016. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy4000 Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Ah, I just realized I never finished Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon! I should go for that. Don't think I'll have time to start 3 this month, but I own it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morph89 Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 I've got The Blair Witch Project and Visage lined up. Going try out both this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dualhunter Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Finished the normal route in Omori. Most of the game is cheery but there are horror elements. The jump scares don't really work and my opinion at the moment is that the devs are sick bastards. I'm planning to do a replay of Resident Evil 3 before trying the other route in Omori to see if it makes more sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
best3444 Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 I gave up on Prey yesterday after returning to it lost. I'm not in a gaming mood these last couple of days and when a game constantly challenges you every 1 second I'm done with it. I play games to relax and enjoy. So no more Halloween games for me. I honestly have no games lined up. I may just take a big break from games all together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish they just go back to 3rd person all together. It’s all a matter of taste, but Village controls perfectly well for what they’re trying to accomplish. Enemy movement and damage is all scaled to work in line with the heavier controls, if Ethan suddenly moved like a COD character the game would fall apart. I doubt it’s going to feel any better in third person and my suspicion is that it’s going to lose a ton of the intended atmosphere but hey, it’s one of my favorite games of the past five years so any way people can do it is a plus.

Interesting point. I haven't played this in a while and when I initially played it and beat it, i really enjoyed it. I think I jumped on one night to see how it ran on my XSX and was taken back at how sluggish it felt. But, you make great points in why it feels that way.

dualhunter Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Finished Resident Evil 3 Remake 3 times. Originally I was just going to do 1 replay on Assisted but I decided to try Standard and then I started unlocking stuff from the shop. Beating the hardest difficult with S rank seems like too much of a pain (auto save is disabled) and even on Assisted not using the item box at all is too much of a pain (no getting my infinite rocket launcher or coins) so this is where I stop. Nightmare was my first S rank run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodger Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Maybe I should try to get back into the original Dead Space with the remake coming out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Posted October 31, 2022 Author Share Posted October 31, 2022 I have not been having the most ideal gaming time lately, but I at least beat The Walking Dead: Michonne tonight. I should have finished it weeks ago, given how short it is though... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
best3444 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 I beat Horizon Forbidden West this month. Completely opposite of a Halloween game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
