DAMMIT! Right when I get a $10 card for PSN from BB, the sale for sleeping dogs is OVER!  Why must they do the update now!  

 
I'm confused. Do I have to spend $50 or can I spend $40 and they keep my $10 code? Also, can I use a PSN card to add to my wallet? And if I buy a PS plus card for $50 at Best buy and redeem it, that'll count towards the $50 right?

I think thats a good start. Let's see what other dumb questions get asked.

lol

Just finished the Beyond demo. I thought it was pretty damn good. I liked the subtleties in the QTEs, but some of the cinematic camera angles make the correct prompts hard to figure out. The big thing I liked was how everyone didn't sound like they had a mouth full of peanut butter when they spoke like in Heavy Rain. The Aiden gameplay mechanic is a great way to look at the set pieces. It gives you enough freedom to explore your environments, but of course the things you can actually manipulate are limited to things that'll push the story forward.

All in all, it's very much piqued my interest. Looking forward to the full game.

I don't like horror games much at all, but I have played RE4 and RE5 and Dead Space 1.  All very good games, but I was jumping left and right, I don't like that.

 
I love it when fans of horror games try to tell those that don't like them what is and isn't scary. I have my own tolerance level for that stuff and it's clearly not close to your level, so you're just wasting your time trying to prove that you have a higher tolerance for it.

 
He said he doesn't like horror games much but then said the games he mentioned were very good games

What's wrong with that. He doesn't like horror games, but managed to play three of them that caused him to jump a lot and he didn't like that aspect of it. Saying they're not scary to you doesn't really mean much when it's such a subjective thing. You don't get to dictate what's scary to Tyler.

RE4 has some creepy bits, but its basically just an action game with weird monsters. RE5 is the same, but it doesnt have any creepy bits even. Dead Space 1 was legit scary though. super tense and atmospheric. not so much the sequels.

point being I wasnt expressing my opinion to someone that doesnt like "them"

 
I should have made it clear that even though I don't like horror games, I played RE4, RE5, and DS1 because they are all very well regarded games, with RE4 being on many all-time Top 10 lists.  So I was willing to deal with the scares and jumping because I wanted to experience the game.  But I assure you, I could do without all those jump scares and I would enjoy the game even more.

That I was expressing my opinion to someone that liked the games. Come on dude
Click to expand...
And my point is that this thing always happens when people like me and Tyler say we don't like horror games. People always have to 1up each other on the internet even if it's pointless to try to counter somebody's tastes.

I remember that there was somebody in the XBL Deals thread that freaked out at the notion that somebody didn't like horror games and tried to make it into this huge deal that nobody could actually get scared by horror games or some ridiculous nonsense like that.

 
ok, not that big of a deal. I just dont think RE4 or RE5 are scary. that's all I said, I didnt get into a debate as to why they arent scary or anything. sorry for expressing my opinion

Pussy.

Haha, just playin, I hate horror games too and Dead Space scares me.
 
Does anyone know what the Pinballistik Alien Tycoon Bundle is?  The in-store description is just the description for for Pinballistik, and I can't find any information on it.  I'd guess it's an add-on table, but that wouldn't explain why it's called a "bundle".

 
theflicker said:
No, I agree, Limbo is an unsettling playthrough and I think all of the deaths qualify as jump scares, which is the point of the trial and error gameplay.

If Limbo was only that first hour, then maybe I could see an argument for that, but the rest of the game is set in areas that really have no creepiness or tension to them other than simple gameplay tension of trying to make tight jumps over buzzsaws and things like that. Nothing there is ever really done to be scary and to freak you out. That first part of the game is a great creepy experience as you run into the giant spider and the mysterious people that inhabit that area, but it's sort of all for nothing when they just change the setting and move on to something different. Maybe they were jump scares for you, but they were just gruesome ragdoll deaths for me that was interesting to see be done in a 2D monochromatic game with a silhouette as the main character's look.

Maybe it's a matter of semantics since I consider something that's "horror" to be scary and Limbo doesn't do that at all. It has a creepy atmosphere early on, but that's it and that's not enough for me to use that term. When I said that I don't like horror games, I wasn't talking about anything that's remotely creepy or tense in any game ever nor was I inviting people to peck away at games I talk about to try to argue that certain ones are horror or scary or creepy games like there's a loophole to be found in my taste.
