Damn there are no potions here. Game autosave...

Someone should do an abridged Lotr where everything is redub and its a mmorpg. Gandalf is higher level running noobs thru dungeons.

Unskippable cutscenes on super hard bosses are...fun...

Dont forget the sudden music change!
rgzdev
Or rather the music suddenly gone. Or walking into an unusually open area.

it always bothered me that i rarely if ever saw that fucker cast a fucking spell. dickhead wizard kept swinging a fucking sword like a tank?
Air36723
He was casting Sword Strike....not his fault he's a "Sword Strike" wizard and not an Evoker Wizard.
eyeLied
How is it not his fault? He wasn't forced into that line of work.
thanksmonica
Dark Souls would fuck me up with the fog gates. Sometimes it's a boss, other times it's a bonfire.

Skyrim in vr, not seeing the mini map and just getting bamboozled by a pack of wolves. Gets me everytime

Or you could be playing a 90's Final Fantasy game where you may get no warning at all before a boss and last saved an hour ago.

There's nothing different. No potions. No save point. A boss fight is about to happen, and it's 1987.

In Outlast an autosave meant you were finally safe for, like, 2 seconds

FUCK THAT GAME NEVER AGAIN

There was autosave? I played most of the game with my eyes closed.

I have to play horror games twice always. Once to see where jump scares are. Then a second time to enjoy it... I'm a jumpy person

Outlast taught me that horror games are DEFINITELY not my thing.
NeedlesslyPedantic
Outlast is just the scariest there is. Games like Soma has a great story and isn't scary. You only play Outlast if you want to piss yourself
It just bugs me that I can’t handle a game like that when I fucking looove horror movies.
I'd love to give an hour lecture on this. It's part of why gaming is actually the best platform to tell a story, objectively, and ->
hands-down. Because of agency. Have you ever played Life is Strange/Mass Effect? Did you feel guilty for the choices you made? Have you ->

Janivire
A horror game, for people who don't know what horror is!
I wouldn't classify it as horror.
ThirdPartyCanditate
If i were a gamedesigner i would do one prep room+ music change+autosav and then an empty level with creepy music
tradiuz
Have you played the dead space series? They do something like this and it's fucking nerve wracking.
TheAmazingPencil
I'm pretty sure Satan would be one of the pre-orderers

On the second play through, the final boss shows up, attacks once which clears put 90% of your health, and then just leaves.

and then when you get to the next level/are play cheerful music and fill the room with mimics
area*
Naitasm
Either that or hide mimics as normal throughout the game, then make a room that looks like a horde of mimics but is just scattered furniture
PedestrianElectrobastard
Just make every chest have a chance of being a mimic when opened. New horrors every playthrough!
an unusual level of cruelty however, there is no sight of treasure in a room full of furniture. we want them to hope they might find sumthin
DidNoOneNoticeThis
Do an intro room 2 chests 1 mimic. Next room, 15 chests. Sign saying there's *at least* 1 mimic in the room. Make the exit door the mimic.
ahahaha, thatd be great

Istherenothingleft
Just playing dark souls for the first time and so far it's been 5 minutes of running back to the damn fight each time a boss shreds me.
MusterTheRohirrim
I found the bonfires got closer to boss fights as the game went on in DS3. In the beginning, you usually have to run through enemies, (1/2)
...but by the end, fights like NK, SoC, and Gael just plop the fire down right there. (2/2)
you mean you dont amass souls by fighting the same enemies on the way to the boss, as you continually die to the boss.
I usually just run by them all :P
