Doom and Darkest Dungeon. It's going to be a very gloomy Xmas unless I give in to getting Stardew Valley on XBO. Then it'll be all bright with butterflies.
Give in to the anime force.

Not really sure what it is about zombie genre that draws me in so much? It just does. I think it's the overwhelming feeling of near death at any moment that drives my interest, that false sense of security. Atmoshpere and sound design also add to immersion I guess.
Anyway, I DL the latest RE7 demo and it still feels too scary. I can't imagine VR, because RE in first person already gives me anxiety and it might be the first RE game I skip out on. They added new endings apparently. The Outlast 2 demo gave me a bit of anxiety as well. I guess playing late at night, in the dark with headphones on is not a good idea. My heart was racing too much. I had fun watching people play live on Twitch, so I might do that this time.
What I love about RE7 demo is that it does feel like a refreshing take on the series. I really enjoyed ZombiU for doing the walking sim with zombies and added a roguelike mechanic. This game gave me anxiety too, so I only played it a bit at a time. RE7 feels like a tradtional RE1 game where you have to investigate every corner of a room or backtrack to find clues and study them in order to make progress. It feels like old RE, but new. It's a house full of mysteries.
I've also been playing the official Walking Dead TV show game on ipad called No Man's Land. It is part tower defense w/ base building and also a top down strategy game, like a baby Fire Emblem or Xcom. The adventure states are very short, but they get very hectic right away because zombies spawn mid level or near the end, which maintains tension. Your characters also can be leveled up and have different weapon proficiencies which you can also level. It all works quite well and its a pretty good game despite it being on iPad. I recommend. Also, Daryl is a hero and he leads my parties with his ranged weapon. Very powerful!
I just downloaded Let It Die, which is an action game/roguelike with horror theme. Some are comparing it to Souls for some reason? Combat is a bit janky, but it's free to play on PS4 and has microtransactions. Lot of weapon loadouts and armor to try. Very grindy though. I'm still playing it.
PS
I also played a lot of Hatsune Miku on PS4. Whats happening to me? The anime force is too strong. Help!
Whatcha been playing Pixlbit?
I need to download the new RE7 demo! I just read about it yesterday.
In my off time I have been playing Tales of Zestiria and then streaming Morrowind and FXV when I am able to.
I am hoping to get Dragon Quest Builders and some Wii U games for X-mAs though! I seriously need to invest in a capture card >_<
I'm not entirely sure how I feel about the demo. It requires focusing on every detail of the environment in order to make progress, meaning a lot of retread and backtracking. RE games have always had this by way of adventure game features, and they work pretty well in this new context, but I'm not sure if the full game will be just the house, or if it will be larger in scale to previous games. I honestly don't see how RE6 can be topped in scale in any way. Evil Within moving inwards towards the mind was a great response to this, but I'm not sure exactly what I want from a RE sequel, except to maybe Remaster the originals or just do something new for the franchise? The demo is much scarier than the original game was for me when it first came it out in the 90s, and that and Silent Hill were proper spooky games.
What's funny is that I uncovered a whole fanboy world to Hatsume that I didn't know existed, and there is hatred for this new PS4 game, but mainly because there is another PS4 game exclusive to Japan that has 200 songs compared to this US game that only has 30. There are also mentions that previous games have better music than this PS4 game, so I'm interested in playing prevous versions now.
I've been playing LEGO Marvel Superheroes because it's easy to jump into and play and why the hell not finish something I bought for $5 months ago. Finished the story, but now hunting for trophies. Folks keep saying these LEGO trophies are easy to get, but I'm not sure about some of them I'm seeing.
I never really played RE games much, only played a bit of the RE4 HD version on PC. But if RE7 is that much scarier, I might be more inclined to play it. The last horror game I played was Until Dawn. Got close to the end with a rental, but wish I'd have finished it. Oh well, Red Box only gave me so much time.
The LEGO games are fun. I won't knock them. I loved the Star Wars ones myself. I hear a lot of praise for Lego Dimensions games too. RE games have always been great at creating atmosphere, but the more shooter centric sequels took the scares away. Being trapped in some demented hillbillies home and trying to escape is hella nightmarish on its own. The atmosphere is really great in the RE demo. It is a proper return to form for Capcom.
Yeah, I just played the REVII Beginning Hour demo and kept having to stop and quit the game, because my heart was racing way too fast. Even the couple times going back to try for the good ending, I still get a little tense knowing the creepy Baker guy and his pet demon are about to show up.
