    What is Siren?

    I no longer own a wii so I guess I am out of luck with trying this one out.

    Episodic survival horror game for the ps3 available online. It is pretty ballin

    The PS3 game (subtitled Blood Curse) is a remake of this PS2 game.

    http://lparchive.org/LetsPlay/Siren

    There was a sequel set on an island that was only translated for Europe and Australia. The same guy behind the first game's LP up there also LPed the sequel's Japanese version.

    Yeah, the concept of Silent Hill was that it's a personification of the character's fears. Made it much more interesting than the RE series imo.

    No videogame bad guy can quite match the all around fucked-upness of Pyramid Head.

    it was just the one guy; Valtiel, who would also occasionally show up to drag Heather away if you died

    he's one of the more important characters behind the whole mythology of the games. i think i remember reading he was represented in SH1 by the men in robes scattered throughout the backgrounds? something like that

    Yes this. Fuck those guys.

    Condemned was really good.

    Also Bioshock was actually really creepy in the dark by yourself. During the day with people around it is just some game, but man does it get creepy.

    Fatal Frame for the Wii does look pretty nice.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NH8-4IauuQ

    Looking for a gameplay video BTW led me to learn about someone or some group apparently trying to make a translation patch. Is that even possible for a Wii game?

    Is the Wii Fatal Frame a new game or a port of an older one

    I played the first and it was really creepy until you beat the game, the ending took the edge off the antagonist

    I never did play the second and it's impossible to find for a reasonable price now

    my job just laid off about thirty people and everyone left is concerned the whole place is about to shut down

    at the same time, there's only a handful of people now i would call my superiors and i'm getting my own office and if the place somehow does turn things around i'm probably looking at a pretty hefty raise

    so i'm torn between giving my two weeks, using up all 100+ hours of my paid leave and leaving, or sticking it out to see what happens

    I think you know the right choice is to stick it out at the moment. Everyone's eating their own shit to survive at this point. My work got ultra busy these past two months but part of that was from pushing projects expected next quarter into this one. Business looks good at the moment but next quarter could be fucking dead.

    Totally not exaggerating! This is the only enemy you encounter:

    silenthillshatteredmemo.jpg

    They grow breasts or something if you say yes to "I stare at titties" or whatever during the psych evaluation at the start. But their attack patterns stay the same regardless, according to IGN's review

    Another great example of this is Indigo Prophecy (Fahrenheit for you Europeans)

    For the first half or 2/3rds of the game it does an incredible job of setting up this atmosphere and moody tone and the plot had some mysteries that were really interesting and it was fantastic (I thought)

    And then towards the end all that is thrown out for midair energy-blast kung-fu quicktime events

    I haven't played Indigo Prophecy, though I am really looking forward to Heavy Rain!

    As for boss fights, that's a good question, I don't know if they'll be in Shattered Memories. No reviews have mentioned it so far. I wonder.

    YES

    I basically spent that last 1/3 of the game just going "Really? This is the direction you decided to take this game in?
    sentient robot computer program things and aliens?
    Really?"


    Also Condemned is awesome and creepy as hell, though it would make me motion sick if I played for too long. Same with that Call Of Cthlulu game that came out for the original Xbox.

    Yeah... was that when the angel statues came alive and shit? Yep, I think that's probably where it went completely off the rails

    I much preferred the earlier segments of the game where the stuff you had to do was
    • Hide evidence
    • Don't spaz out when the cops question you
    • Get some sleep, maybe eat something dude, you don't look good
    • Try not to let yourself get too depressed and KILL YOURSELF

    Were there aliens? I remember the sentient AI faction and the shadowy Patriots-esque organization that was somehow employing an immortal Mayan priest to do their dirty work
