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

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

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

Dont forget the sudden music change!

Or rather the music suddenly gone. Or walking into an unusually open area.

Dark Souls would fuck me up with the fog gates. Sometimes it's a boss, other times it's a bonfire.

i just beat dark souls 3 last night

im guessing you play gears of war

Or, in Dark Souls: "Okay.. I just went through hell.. I have nothing left... Bon fire? Please bon fire?" Nope boss fight.

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

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.

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.

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)
ImRockHard
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

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

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
Verldemert
Outlast taught me that horror games are DEFINITELY not my thing.
feeltheice
Go try layers of fear
Janivire
A horror game, for people who don't know what horror is!
I wouldn't classify it as horror.
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 ->

If i were a gamedesigner i would do one prep room+ music change+autosav and then an empty level with creepy music

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.

Have you played the dead space series? They do something like this and it's fucking nerve wracking.

I've known quite a few sadistic game designers. This isnt that bad
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
