Dead Space has nothing on SS2

badp

Jul 22, 2013 01:16

@less I am glad I'm not the only one to have drawn that conclusion

LessPop_MoreFizz

@badp The Reveal in SS2 is just so good.

Just... the audio alone.

The stuttering.

badp

Oh I was going in a different direction with that

LessPop_MoreFizz

I remember experiencing it for the first time as a teenager at like 2 in the morning in a darkened room and screaming.

@badp oh, re: Dubai?

Yeah, that story is fucking horrible. :(

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz I am 25 in a fully lit room and I screamed and then fell out of my chair

user15026

AND I HAVENT EVEN PLAYED IT

badp

Jul 22, 2013 01:18

Like everything sounds closer than it is, everything makes distinctive and creepy noises and the gunplay is awful

FEichinger

@AshleyNunn It's beautiful, isn't it? :P

user15026

@FEichinger NO

user15026

NO NO NO

FEichinger

Heheh.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@badp yeah, and the extreme scarcity of ammo makes every moment in the game feel incredibly desperate.

badp

Jul 22, 2013 01:19

so you're always on the tiptoes from making an encounter you're poorly equipped to deal with a threat you can't locate because it's not where you think you're hearing it

LessPop_MoreFizz

(Well, at least until it breaks down hardcore on the Rickenbacher once you have the assault rifle and more ammo than you know what to do with.)

@badp YES. This is the beauty of SS2.

just, working your way down a hallway and all of a sudden MONKEY

badp

also there are so many choices you can make in your character build that it's easy to blame yourself for having a bad time

"I knew I should've taken that mission for repairing instead of guns"

the sound engine is broken but consistently and fairly so

in short it's a product of its time and no such game could make it out of qa today

FEichinger

SS2 does a great job at conveying the exact atmosphere that was intended, regardless of the "quality".

badp

All the things that make it SS2 would be stomped upon as bugs/awful mechanics/breaks immersion

@fei I really don't know how much is hardware limitation of the times and how much is deliberate

Game's old

LessPop_MoreFizz

The reason the audio in SS2 holds up though is because it's so well planned and designed; the use of sound is just top notch.

user15026

Jul 22, 2013 01:25

IT IS SCARY AS ALL FUCK

user15026

WHY WOULD YOU EVEN

FEichinger

@badp The atmosphere was intended. The execution may well be incidental.

@AshleyNunn Because it's beautiful for what it is.

user15026

NO IT IS NOT

badp

@fei execution matters, why do you think no one game in the last few years got even close to SS2?

user15026

IT IS NIGHTMARE FUEL

user15026

Jul 22, 2013 01:26

if I do not sleep tonight the Bridge I am blaming you

badp

L-l-l-l-look at you A-A-A-Ashley

LessPop_MoreFizz

@AshleyNunn NIGHTMARES ARE BEAUTIFUL

badp

Hunting and sweating (hunting and sweating) as you run through my c-c-corridors

FEichinger

@badp Of course the execution matters - but whether or not the execution was planned or not, doesn't.

user15026

@badp NO @BADP BAD @BADP

How can you think to c-c-challenge a perfect immortal machine-achine-chine

@jeffreylin_ Don't interrupt.

@jeffreylin_ Most importantly, buy Blood Dragon at the biggest discount it's ever had.

@LessPop_MoreFizz I have 2 cents

user43095

starallthethings

badp

Ugh, the AC2 crack isn't nearly as nice as I'd have hoped

basically you have to run a server emulating ubisoft

Blech

user43095

Wait, Gnome is in HL3? WTF?

user15026

Great, guys, I am filled with unease

user15026

THE ICE CREAM I HAVE CANT SOLVE THIS

badp

This is almost worse than giving in to uPlay

user43095

@AshleyNunn Poor you.

badp

@Ashley it's nowhere near buying a game on steam only to realise that the steam installer installed an patcher that patches itself all the way to Origin - except crappier

LessPop_MoreFizz

@AshleyNunn Pleasure being of service.

user43095

Jul 22, 2013 01:33

@AshleyNunn ADD SOME BACON TO THAT ICE CREAM AND YOU WILL BE ALRIGHT.

FEichinger

@badp Tbh, uPlay isn't all that bad.

badp

WHICH IS A THING THAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED TO ME FOR REALSIES

FEichinger

uPlay's failures are mostly Ubisoft's mismanagement in updating than uPlay itself being terrible.

badp

@fei I don't need more steam-clones also-rans in my life

user43095

@badp WHOO SCREAMING CONTEST! BUT I AM BETTER THAN YOU AT SCREAMING IN EVERY WAY!

user15026

Jul 22, 2013 01:34

@LessPop_MoreFizz I would like to say that I am grateful, but, well.

FEichinger

@badp It's not all that much a Steam clone either, though. It doesn't really present itself as a store front.

badp

We WILL SEE HOW GOOD YOU ARE AT SCREAMING ONCE I BANAGE YOUR ACCOUNT

user15026

@badp DID YOU FALL OFF YOUR DESK CHAIR I DIDNT THINK SO

badp

@ASHLEY I DID. FOUR MONTHS AGO. THE CHAIR BROKE AND I LANDED ON THE GROUND BACK FIRST

user15026

@badp WAS IT FROM FEAR

badp

Jul 22, 2013 01:36

MY CHAIR FEARED HAVING TO SUSTAIN MY GIRTH FOR ANY LONGER

AND GAVE UP

FEichinger

That said, two HUD-enabled DRM launchers at once is kinda overkill. But uPlay is nowhere near as bloated as GFWL, or as ridiculously backwards as Origin. It's pointless but not terrible.

badp

SO TECHNICALLY YES

THE SORT OF METAL THING AT THE BASE LITERALLY TORE ITSELF APART

user43095

@badp HAVE YOU EVER FALLEN ON OUR ASS WHILE ICE SKATING? FALLING OFF A CHAIR IS NOTHING COMPARED TO THAT.

badp

@JEFF THAT'S YOUR FAULT FOR ICE SKATING IN THE FIRST PLACE

FEichinger

Okay, I guess I'm now gonna take a nap. Allcaps Night isn't my favourite.

user43095

@FEichinger BYE

badp

@ASH FINE

user15026

@FEichinger I would be quieter if I wasnt scared

Sterno

Is there a way to NOT use steam wallet funds when buying a game? I want to save that .50 for steam cards because I will never, ever put real money in my steam wallet

badp

Oooooh we have found fei's weak point

FEichinger

Jul 22, 2013 01:38

@AshleyNunn Psh. Lies. Lies and lies. More lies.

user15026

@FEichinger Dude, fear-puking does not lie

FEichinger

@badp Not so much a weak point as a nice excuse to go and sleep at 3:40 am

badp

@sterno when on the payment page click on change next to the line with the wallet

Ullallulloo

@Sterno Select a different payment method.

badp

@fei I know perfectly well what time it is

user43095

Jul 22, 2013 01:40

You people are too obsessed with this chat room. Go get a life. nolifers

FEichinger

@AshleyNunn But you wouldn't be quieter, no matter your fear state.

Sterno

Okay. I guess I had to select the other payment method that was already selected. NOT INTUITIVE

user15026

@jeffreylin_ ....

@FEichinger I can too be quiet

@AshleyNunn You can, but you choose not to.
