[fringe salmon]

you should note thats 70CAD not USD

[barren pewter]

true
but like
still
same thing
it's still outlandishly expensive

[fallow bronze]

50 euro I believe

[fringe salmon]

yup 50 eur/usd

[fallow bronze]

On the expensive side tbh

[fringe salmon]

the game isnt even out and we dont know how well it's done so cant really judge that

its not like the port being done now instead of on release makes it easier so it's still the same cost to port it

[barren pewter]

the thing is
RDR was already kind of a mess
would it not have been easier to just rebuild RDR1 in RDR2, especially considering a ton of the assets for RDR2 can be immediately reused for RDR1
I mean
shit
New Austin is already made, they kinda gave up on Nuevo Paraiso halfway through

¯_(ツ)_/¯

just
character models, voice acting, questing, scripting, etc

[fringe salmon]

so, most of the work

[barren pewter]

yes, but like
they had a solid base
and they could have easily charged 70 for that

gouge your eyes out, please

better?

[barren pewter]

point still stands tbh
they had a base to just...make a full remake

relatively painlessly

but didn't

[fringe salmon]

it would have costed a lot more and taken much longer to do

[barren pewter]

and it would have actually been worth 70 bucks
also would have justified 14 years of no way to play RDR on PC barring emulation

[fringe salmon]

and might have not sold enough to make back the cost

[barren pewter]

it would...come on
it's RDR1
it would have sold like hot cakes, just like RDR2

not as well as the cash cow that is GTA V online though

[fringe salmon]

well lets wait for the game to be out first to see how well it works/sells

[maiden tulip]

@fringe salmon i got it on switch for 50 cad in november 2023

[fringe salmon]

last I checked the switch isn a pc so not really comparable

unless the pc port is hot shit and runs and looks like a switch game

[barren pewter]

🫢

[maiden tulip]

1080p 30fps docked was nice

and looked better than my old 360

[fringe salmon]

okay but its still not a pc port so doesnt really matter when its about if a pc port is enough work to justify 50usd

[nimble current]

I want RDR on steam but not for heckin 50 bucks

[drifting rose]

all this time I thought VRR had the lowest latency but I was STUPID and WRONG

[quiet vault]

lol

[fringe salmon]

well thats also not including reflex/anti lag or NULL etc. thats the older graph I think

[drifting rose]

where could I find updated data to de-stupify myself?

[fringe salmon]

good question!

[cyan pewter]

earth update v1.05.99

[drifting rose]

noo I don't like the nuclear war DLC, I'll stay on 1.04

stays uninformed

[quiet vault]

reflex should be fastest

[drifting rose]

maybe, but now I won't assume anything anymore without looking at graphs

https://tenor.com/view/business-stonks-graph-growth-melioration-gif-15835886010482219304

[fringe salmon]

well reflex and such would just be added on top

but idk if it or null or something has issues with any VRR and cant be used in conjuction which would make it moot

[drifting rose]

null supports G-sync apparently

[fringe salmon]

oh also theres fast sync which is syncing for above monitor refresh rate

[drifting rose]

is that what's called mailbox? I remember I used the TearFree feature on my AMD GPU on the X11 desktop, which was described like running vsync with uncapped framerates

[fringe salmon]

never heard of that term

[trim rock]

Yeah fast sync is basically mailbox

[quiet vault]

I feel like it’s not talked about a lot, I wonder what numbers they’re expecting to hit for the 2 Remake

[buoyant osprey]

4 is the controversial one of the Team Silent games.

To me it's simultaneously the most intetesting one but also the most flawed one.

[still spire]

Bloober understood the franchise in a way Team Silent never could1!1!1!

[pure bear]

ayo thats kinda cool

[outer pollen]

It is especially how things slowly keep changing as you progress through the story the hole getting bigger, the radio, phone calls, and peep hole

[outer pollen]

And cheap

[pure bear]

I like AC fishing

[buoyant osprey]

The hole, the hauntings, the different areas each time etc. are all very cool ideas imo.

For a remake I'm not sure if I'd want you to have to go through them again.

UE5 strikes again

[maiden tulip]

At least it's not UE4

[fringe salmon]

damn if only alex would have asked ary, since apparently ary knows its ue5 causing it when alex said he and the rendering experts he asked about it cant pin it down to the engine

[hardy merlin]

Is that another case where developers can't use Nanite in UE5, and that kills performance?

[fringe salmon]

nope

based on his tests its not even remotely graphics related

(so much for shader caching cant be done when it's not causing any issues here)

ironically Nanite lessens traversal stutter so either they dont use it or it would be even worse without it

[maiden tulip]

ary doesn't need to watch the video 🧠 ary is a superior being

[fringe salmon]

clearly, knowing everything means you know content you havent watched so why watch it again

[maiden tulip]

exactly

[hardy merlin]

Oooh, traversal stutter, gotcha
Yeah, Nanite would help there

Also TAA artifacting is still visible through DLSS, without it it must be a nightmare

[maiden tulip]

Talking about game performance tho have you guys seen... frostpunk 2

I bought the game and uh... its something

Like ok its a slow paced game but lumen lighting kills the fps by half with it on anything that's not medium or lower
And even then I need to use FSR ultra quality on too of that to get 60-70fps at 5120x1440

The 4090 struggles to play the game at 30-40 fps lol

[fringe salmon]

I mean thats basically as demanding as RT at an insane resolution

[light lion]

lumen is super expensive

I think 5.5 has some stuff for static lighting again idk

[maiden tulip]

Yeah i was just kinda shocked because welp. Game looks simplistic

[fading canyon]

Suprisingly i had no issues with the game with a full play through

[fringe salmon]

its not big problems

so depending on resolution, hardware etc. you wont even notice it

[maiden tulip]

Rip amd users in silent hill 2

Game is crazily nvidia skewed even without RT

And even on nvidia it aint great

Can't even get 60 4k from the 4090...

Without dlss

[hardy merlin]

31 FPS
If I want that experience I can just boot up my PS2

[fringe salmon]

doubt your ps2 can do 4k

[fading canyon]

1440p enjoyer here

[maiden tulip]

I don't even understand... how the 7900xtx is performing so much lower

[fading canyon]

played through it maxed out with rt on

[maiden tulip]

Like it should be around the 4080

[maiden tulip]

What's your card lol

[fading canyon]

4070 ti super

[maiden tulip]

55fps i guess that's fineish

[fading canyon]

yupyup felt pretty fine

[maiden tulip]

Can get 60 if you drop a thing or 2

[hardy merlin]

It can do 20FPS with RT?

[fading canyon]

i only got this card about a month ago

went from a 2070 (non super) to this lol

[maiden tulip]

Ps2 quality framerates

@hardy merlin https://www.techpowerup.com/review/silent-hill-2-fps-performance-benchmark/5.html

Idk if you wanted to see the rest

Its kinda shocking how the game underperforms on amd

I'm just trying to understand why

[fringe salmon]

https://gpuopen.com/rgp/ go ahead and find out lol

[maiden tulip]

Like... RT lands where it should around the 3090 ti but non rt boggles my mind

[hardy merlin]

That's all I needed to see
Not that I'll play it anyway

[maiden tulip]

That'd require me owning the game

Ikr me not buying a game at launch

[fringe salmon]

well hard to figure it out without having the game

[fading canyon]

the remake was my first time playing silent hill

[fading canyon]

[maiden tulip]

Wooting gang in shock, dashi didn't buy a game on release for the first time in forever

[fringe salmon]

I have no fucking clue what your shopping habits are

[fading canyon]

all these early access periods for new big releases is kinda cringe though

every game seems to be doing it lately for a quick cash grab

[fringe salmon]

I dont even remember the last big game that did early access

[fading canyon]

sparking zero, silent hill, throne and liberty

those are just from this month

theres been quite a few others recently

[fringe salmon]

ohh you mean couple days early access I thought you meant actual early access phase of some weeks or months

[fading canyon]

ahh ye

its usually like 3-4 days early access and paying 20 euro extra just for that lol

there's also a 4080s coming

Me when there are no ~2X" 4k OLED monitors with variable refresh rate that aren't stupid expensive.

This is a heck of a lot more than that for a briefcase.

200 bucks?

The seller was in Canada so I got a "discount" from that but the shipping was also ~$90 so it balanced out.

[compact oriole]

i mean release date got nothing to do with it. its not like nintendo asked them to show more boobs

but ye the gamecube vesion looks horrible

idk about n64 since that one was kinda revolutionary but since gamecube nintendo has always been really weak on hardware

[still spire]

GameCube was more powerful than the PS2

By a lot

[orchid prism]

wat

[fading spade]

Wat

[still spire]

It was lol

Did you not know?

Just look at RE4 Gamecube VS PS2 for an easy example

[orchid prism]

One developer understood the architecture better of one console than another

[still spire]

No I mean specs wise

Gamecube was stronger.

[fading spade]

Oh seems the GPU was

[still spire]

Games often ran at higher resolutions and frame rates too

RE4 had real time cutscenes on GameCube; PS2 wasn't capable of that.

Used FMVS

[orchid prism]

https://tenor.com/view/okay-ok-ok-ok-oh-ok-oh-okay-gif-18238573721271168162

[fading spade]

Hot take
PS3 controllers felt like crap to play on
And felt they would break at the slightest bend

[orchid prism]

Not to mention their shitty implementation of charging and wireless 😄

[still spire]

PS3 controllers were good, I liked em

[fading spade]

Oh yeah .... Very true

[orchid prism]

Also the time honoured Sony tradition of putting screw holes where you put your fingers, so you'd get sore.

[hardy merlin]

GC was barely stronger than PS2
And yet PS2 can in most cases output 720p with GSM for quite a lot of games, and even 1080i for GT4, which is crazy

[still spire]

Wat

[fading spade]

Nah nah
That's an intentional way to make sure you don't game for too long!!!!

[small comet]

i liked xbox controllers

and still do

[still spire]

All the Dualshock controlelrs are good, DualShock 2 was best

[fading spade]

Same!

[small comet]

i cant get behind dualshock layout at all

[hardy merlin]

When you compare DualSense to Dualshock 3 the difference is enormous

[still spire]

DualShock is the only layout that makes SENSE

[orchid prism]

Like how the PS1's Dpad was so rough that long sessions of Tekken would literally give you blisters. Fun fun times.

[small comet]

no

[still spire]

You are all weird for preferring non ergonomical controllers like Xbawks

[fading spade]

O.o

[hardy merlin]

Wii U/Steam Deck controller scheme supremacy

[orchid prism]

Mirrored != Ergonomical

[fading spade]

Nah
The sticks at different levels is comfy imo

[still spire]

Xbox has terrible ergonomics and has lost in every test of comfort performed

[small comet]

have you ever held your hand infront of you in a relaxed position? the thumbs aint pointing towards each other

[still spire]

Mine are

[hardy merlin]

The what now?

[still spire]

For using Xbox stick layouts I have to stretch my thumb out of it's natural resting position

[fading spade]

? Nah

[hardy merlin]

PS controller is better when you're using D-Pad + buttons, Xbox when stick + buttons

[orchid prism]

Do you have smol hand?

[still spire]

No, largre

large*

[orchid prism]

That's a good point. But we've moved from using Dpad as the norm to delegating it to menu movement.

[hardy merlin]

Still, Steam Deck does better than both of them, not stick under the buttons, but next to the buttons

[still spire]

I foudn the Steam Controller pretty unusable myself

Still it was only 5$

[hardy merlin]

Deck has improved a lot over Steam Controller

[still spire]

I know, I've got a Deck.

[hardy merlin]

Oh, ohohoh
Gimme something like this and I'm happy

[still spire]

Someone is making one, actually

Something similar.

I'm still hard at work on the 3DS shells, but sometimes inspiration strikes and I need to get an idea into CAD. This is Steampad a controller with the form of the Steamdeck! No idea how far I'll get with this, but I've got parts ordered. I'd love to hear some thoughts!

It looks...unique at least.

Stereo speakers, wooo lol

[pure bear]

tf

[solemn vine]

Stick and d-pad next to buttons is terrible man

Claw grip is ungodly with that

So any time you wanna use the sticks at the same time as the d-pad or face buttons you're in the poop zone

[proper basin]

Just waiting for my ps5 controller in November

[solemn vine]

I like the PS layout cuz I can claw both the d-pad and face buttons and keep my thumbs on the sticks

If you don't care about the d-pad then fine, I don't agree with you but fine

But I ain't ever gonna accept a controller layout where the face buttons and right stick can't be comfortably clawed

[outer pollen]

You got the classic?

[proper basin]

Mhm mhm i snagged one

[still spire]

Edge?

[proper basin]

Nah i went with the normal

[solemn vine]

I just use an 8bitdo Pro 2 these days

[fading spade]

GIMME GIMME 🤤

[fading spade]

I have an 8BitDo Ultimate, xbox version and I love it so so so much, its a nice and small controller with 2 back buttons :D missing gyro though ;-;

but it came with a charger dock too which I really like

[sinful cobalt]

👀

[solemn vine]

I'm all about the pro 2

[fading spade]

looks like a PS3 controller

[solemn vine]

PS stick layout, two back paddles, fully remappable, 50 bucks

[fading spade]

no touchpads ;-; and shitty triggers too

the triggers are like the ones on the Switch

[solemn vine]

Pro 2 is sorta modeled off of the SNES controller

[still spire]

Solid controller

Wish it had 2.4g

[fading spade]

Its only bluetooth?!

[solemn vine]

Yeah sadly

[fading spade]

the Ultimate is using a dongle

fuck bluetooth

[still spire]

Yeah, but the Pro 2 is sadly BT only, and not even good good BT

[solemn vine]

Honestly I just use it wired most the time

[still spire]

Great controller besides

[solemn vine]

If it had 2.4G it would be actually perfect, it's even got HE sticks now

[fading spade]

Ultimate 2 has HE sticks.....and pretty colors...but its not worth an upgrade

[still spire]

Yep

Pro 2 got HE sticks but stuck on shitty BT.

[sinful cobalt]

i mean i love my sticks and triggers

[solemn vine]

HE sticks and it's still only 50 bucks

[still spire]

I mean the Ultimate 2C is like 25-30$

And has HE Sticks and triggers.

[fading spade]

The ultimate is great value, but missing gyro if you need that

[fading spade]

yeah, its pretty nice :D

[still spire]

What htye need is the Anti friction rings on the sticks

[fading spade]

the Mint 2C is GORGEOUS

[still spire]

That's my issue with 8bitdos I wear the sticks down in circles

[fading spade]

🤤

[still spire]

Become grittyAnti friction rings on other modenr ones exist

[sinful cobalt]

i gonna stick to my standard ps5 controller

[solemn vine]

Pro 2 is also something I gotta get cuz it's basically the only controller with a PS stick layout at its price range

[still spire]

Yeah

[solemn vine]

Unless I wanna spend a fair chunk more for an actual PS controller with no paddles and Dinput

[fading spade]

The LCD Deck has issues with the stick stem wearing down too ;-; making the sticks not very smooth to use at times

[still spire]

The DualSense Edge if it was 99$, had a 20 hour battery life, and all it's features worked wirelessly would also be great

[fading spade]

luckily they fixed that on OLED

[solemn vine]

Wait a flippin minute the dang flowers got in the way

That's a crazy pfp wtf

[fading spade]

oh wow, they have an accessibility controller now, thats very neat
https://www.8bitdo.com/lite-se-wireless-xbox/

[solemn vine]

There's too many little things that can go wrong with a controller for me to want to get an expensive one ngl

[fading spade]

this is best feature for me

[still spire]

The dock is great, yes

[solemn vine]

Pro 2 with 2.4G PLS

I don't need the fancy dock I just want crazy connection awesomeness

[still spire]

^^

I'd buy that instantly.

Give me anti friction sticks and stronger springs in the triggers though

[fading spade]

why does using the dongle have less battery life than BT??

[still spire]

My triggers always become insanely weak on them after awhile too

[fading spade]

oh thats odd, mine is still good

[still spire]

Happens to all my controllers pretty much

[sinful cobalt]

maybe its me but i would use any controllers in wired mode no in wireless

[fading spade]

nah I prefer wireless

Its kinda my fault tho ngl

You weren't subbed for over 180 days?

I guess?

[cold anvil]

Guess not cause I canceled my subscription as soon as I realized I havent been using it as much

Idrk how it works

[maiden tulip]

They keep the saves for 180 days after you unsub

But like... literally i have too many switch games and i can easily keep all my save data on my console

It's not that big

Just do archive game instead of delete game and you'll keep your save on the console minus the game files

[pure bear]

wait wtf

they charge for online then delete your saves?

lmao thats so toxic

[tropic obsidian]

It's a strange line I think

No I was just thinking to start using it so, but I guess I'm not gonna use it

[unkempt ocean]

ive seen many use it for that glide

or is it like cs's jump macros

[tropic obsidian]

Superglide yea I wanted to try it to but it's kinda a macro

[unkempt ocean]

glide is fine i think

many have used it

[tropic obsidian]

Also now a days there's a new tech called superground lol that can be implemented with this too

[unkempt ocean]

[hardy merlin]

Officially - it's not allowed
But everyone uses it and Respawn (especially in current state) couldn't give a fuck, so...

[tropic obsidian]

Only 50k players in game no one's playing this shit

[hardy merlin]

I like how player base is steadily dropping after release of S21
I wonder why

[tropic obsidian]

Too many reasons lolz

[scarlet marlin]

HA

[scarlet marlin]

[novel umbra]

is multiplayer only and like ~30 minutes long

quite funny though

oh apparently it has a singleplayer, but a lot of the fun comes from it being multiplayer

[fringe salmon]

Except it’s 0% off

[scarlet marlin]

cdkeys

not sponsored

[fringe salmon]

Best deal is 31% atm

[fringe salmon]

I mean that’s Deluxe edition so it still costs more

[hardy merlin]

https://www.gamebillet.com/silent-hill-2-z
And from a distributor, not key reseller

[scarlet marlin]

for that price difference i would pay the extra 5 euros for a the deluxe

[fringe salmon]

I would pay the extra 98 cents to get it from a legit site instead of key resellers

[heavy gull]

no sailing or else i will sabotage the tak60 r&d

[fringe salmon]

No I like to pay people for doing their job

[hardy merlin]

Good games are worth paying for
Bad games aren't even worth pirating

[outer pollen]

[fringe salmon]

My take is always this: if you can’t afford it, sure pirate, if you can afford it either pay up on a legit site or don’t get it int he first place if you don’t think it deserves the price point

[hardy merlin]

I just noticed
They fixed it

It's finally in correct order

Something something like I said I won't buy BG3, but I played 2 hours on sailor's copy and noticed how they aren't shafting us with regional pricing

[nimble current]

https://youtu.be/Dupl3lr2UBk?si=CaLQjTQ_jjdzLwju

the gravy train is loaded

[compact oriole]

the games still around?

[hardy merlin]

It got a lot of players again
They stopped listening to crybabies on Discord and nerfing everything and instead did a lot of balance changes focused more on fun

[verbal nymph]

Yey

might play it again if that's the case

[fringe salmon]

Worse case if they did it would still be around, people just have naans expectations that if a game doesn’t have 100k concurrent players it’s dead

[proper basin]

https://tenor.com/view/sonic-sonic-colors-ds-a-rank-results-screen-gif-20964767

[compact oriole]

well if sony wasnt such a pos the numbers would be lookin a lot better

[fringe salmon]

Nah

[compact oriole]

wdym nah. if the game was availale in 150 more countries thered be more players

[fringe salmon]

Some more sure but it’s not like those countries are known for being massive playercounts. And saying a lot better makes it sound like they are bad now

[nimble current]

game still kicks ass

[fringe salmon]

Yes it would be more and would be the right move but not changing the numbers much

[compact oriole]

well the game doesnt have psn forced on it. but numbers fucking dipped when all that happened

[nimble current]

alao 13:18 they acknowledged the BIG IRON meme

[fringe salmon]

Yeah and numbers would have dipped regardless because that’s how these games always work once the first hype dies down

And ironically they don’t dip as much from the psn stuff as they did from balancing lol

So no psn changes don’t ended up mattering a lot for steam player count

[nimble current]

player numbers have been a lot healthier for the past month

[compact oriole]

seems game was already megadipping before the sony shenanigans

[fringe salmon]

What you call megadipping is called returning to a healthy concurrent playerbase after an insane peak start

[hardy merlin]

regions and territories* not countries
huge difference there

[compact oriole]

call it what ever you want. as any launch it had big numbers and it went down.

[fringe salmon]

Yes and that’s normal for any game that isn’t a massive game like something riot or valve or blizzard put out

[compact oriole]

well blizzard aint all that anymore. theyve had terrible retention on diablo 4 and wow expac

[fringe salmon]

I don’t care for those details ngl just ignore that and replace the example with gta or whatever then

[hardy merlin]

Overwatch still kickin'

And Diablo 4 had peak 2 days ago

[fringe salmon]

And look helldivers2 is currently ahead of OW2 in players on steam

And yes I know that comparison is flawed but still goes to shows how big the playercount for HD2 still is

[orchid prism]

And that's just on Steam.

[hardy merlin]

HD2 hasn't dipped below 47k peak CCU, that's still great numbers

[nimble current]

yep this, the flavor of the month players left

but people be like gAmE iS dYiNg

game blew up way more than was originally expected too, look at the og Helldivers, it had some 17k players at its peak

[hardy merlin]

Now this, this is an anomaly, what the hell

[narrow junco]

Thats all bots

Like, unironically

[hardy merlin]

But that's what I like to see

[compact oriole]

launched new xpac a week ago

[fringe salmon]

And most Diablo players are probably still on battle net not steam so it’s a lot more people

[compact oriole]

its actually crazy how many people come back to sdv updates

think the latest update earlier this year gave it an all time peak

[hardy merlin]

That's the thing
There was no update since April

[compact oriole]

no content update

[hardy merlin]

No - no update at all

[compact oriole]

oh the updates not out yet

[hardy merlin]

I wouldn't expect any more updates now
We'll get mobile and console versions in November, maybe tiny 1.6.9 patch on PC and I think that's it for now
I bet it'll be the same way as with Terraria from now on, but for potential 1.7 or whatever... I wouldn't expect it until at least a year from now

[scarlet marlin]

chocolate game soon pls

[compact oriole]

ye i meant a small fix update not another content bomb

[outer pollen]

Old Hunt Showdown is back

[compact oriole]

its crazy he keeps updating the game 8 years later completely for free

[hardy merlin]

I really hope it'll be only for event
I don't want cancer shotgun+sniper combo players coming back again

[compact oriole]

what game is that

also hollow knight silksong when

[fading spade]

the video is unlisted??? I had it in my watch later

Don't underestimate her abilities
She's chaos itself

[fading spade]

why is it always games and malware that have the most advanced VM detection methods built in?!

[hardy merlin]

Because games come with malware now?

[orchid prism]

Yes?

[fading spade]

True .-.

[fringe salmon]

Because what else would need sophisticated VM detection?

Also the video title is literally called retracted and even the embed shows that?

[fading spade]

when he uploaded it he had a proper title xd

[fringe salmon]

Not when you linked, that got changed 20 hours ago based on the comment

[cold anvil]

Played through silent hill 2 remake and I think it increased my tolerance for horror games

Cheap jumpscares still get me quite a bit but the ambience and sound design does not compare to much other games

[fading spade]

I dont LOL

[scarlet marlin]

how high/low was your tolerance? it doesnt look too bad. just great atmosphere and enemy design

[proper basin]

Now play amnesia

[crystal juniper]

you know what to do @unkempt ocean Fly here and redeem yourself by getting in line.

if you get on a flight right now you might make it in time

[cold anvil]

Prolly like low end mid range, like before I’d play some games and there were moments where I’d take my headphones off because I was too scared XD

I think I only did that one in Silent hill 2 remake

Dunno why I didnt do it often, the sound design is like.. idk how to explain it.. it’s weirdly.. alluring if that makes sense

[scarlet marlin]

maybe my tolerance is just super high but not scary imo. great atmosphere, but I was never 'scared' playing

[scarlet marlin]

aaah so you're like jumpy when stuff happens in games?

[proper basin]

Yeah its not the scariest, just a classic. The bunker is pretty good however for spooky

Just a bit more spookier

[scarlet marlin]

ooh deff a classic, love the game <3

[cold anvil]

Yeah but the thing is with sh2 is that there never are jumpscares, like loud random noises and whatnot, just the ambience and the sounds of the monsters lurking in the shadows

At the end of the game I was so confused, not in the narrative but it got myself questioning what was real and what isnt

[scarlet marlin]

I think thats why better. jumpscares are so cheap and often you can easily tell when theyre gonna happen

[proper basin]

Psychological horror games usually my favorite ones

[cold anvil]

Yeah, sh2 remake just opened a rabbit hole for me. I low key want more

my favorite horror game was Alien Isolation

I still don't know what 'psychological horror' means.

[scarlet marlin]

[solemn vine]

SH2 remake was a lot better than I expected

[sinful cobalt]

"Psychological horror is a subgenre of horror and psychological fiction with a particular focus on mental, emotional, and psychological states to frighten, disturb, or unsettle its audience."

[scarlet marlin]

I used these @proper basin

[buoyant osprey]

People call SH psychological horror but you spend as much time hammering monsters to death as in RE.

[solemn vine]

I still don't think it's a good retelling of the story of Silent Hill 2 but it is a very fun survival horror game with great levels

[buoyant osprey]

Ah.

[scarlet marlin]

yeah but isnt it more also that the story is pretty sad/fucked up?

aka psychological?

[solemn vine]

I would recommend the original as the better full package but the remake is a more fun video game to play

Silent Hill 5? lmao

[solemn vine]

Nah if you ask me you can't beat the PS2 version

[scarlet marlin]

oh there were more dark games

[solemn vine]

Not only because the melee controls only work properly in the PS2 version, but also because I think SH2 straight up looks better in 480i

Light melee attacks are done by holding down the button whereas on the PS2 it was with a light button press

[buoyant osprey]

Maybe they changed it?

[cold anvil]

Same, thought it was gonna be a flop until the positive reviews came out and I bought because I was interested

[solemn vine]

Which made light attacks damn near unusable on PC

[buoyant osprey]

I didn't have to hold down anything. They played identically.

[solemn vine]

Unless you played it through PCSX2

[still spire]

SH2 is best on PC these days

In all ways.

[solemn vine]

I'm never gonna agree with that, the melee controls on the PC version make light attacks so awful to use

[cold anvil]

Did you play with a controller?

[solemn vine]

And light attacks are what you wanna do

The one handed plank bonk is way way more effective than the big overhead swing

[buoyant osprey]

I emulated the PS2 one yes and attacks were a single button press on it just as the enhanced one.

[solemn vine]

Were your melee attacks all the two handed overheads

Because PCSX2 also has this issue

[still spire]

Pressure sensitive buttons were not used in Silent Hill 2

[buoyant osprey]

That I don't remember but I just did the same attack each time.

[solemn vine]

Yeah that's the problem

Pressure sensitive buttons ARE used in SH2

That's how the game determines if you do a light or a heavy attack

[still spire]

So anyways, Silent Hill 2 is best enjoyed on PC with Enhanced Edition these days, or the remake

[solemn vine]

Bro just lying

[still spire]

https://enhanced.townofsilenthill.com/SH2/

It might have been strong attacks only (I played the game earlier this year btw). But I know I never held in the button to strike or was even aware there are two different strikes.
