Outlast

IGN, the first few letters of the word IGNORANT, or IGNORAMUS

Or, Idiot Gamers Nation, because IGN should never be taken seriously

That's not really helping.

You seem to have me confused with someone who cares about whether or not this is 'helping'

The thread is about IGN's ridiculous article about how Outlast is the 'next Amnesia' when the 'next amnesia' is already in production, so I gave my opinion, you have a problem with that, too bad.

I don't have a problem with if you think the article is bad, or not. You're perfectly entitled to that. What I do have somewhat of a problem with is that you go beyond the article itself, and imply/call the whole of IGN as an unreliable source without offering a more constructive feedback beyond insulting IGN. I can tell you in reality that they actually give quite of alot of useful information, and their opinions on many matters while several are indeed as you say "ignorant", I have a hard time believing personally that the bad articles exceed the good ones, because there are a quite a lot of good ones.

Also, I don't really see how you can dislike the article for saying the game is the "next amnesia". "Next amnesia" does not mean it in a literal way like AMFP is rather that it is used as a compliment for what might be a good horror game.

Well most of the people here don't get that straight.

That monster looks like some shitty macho man.

Oh great. I was excited for the game, even though the trailer was HEAVILY scripted, it looked promising.

But now that I know it's going to be a jumpscare fest? Probably won't get it unless it's gifted to me or goes on sale.

Those aren't jump scares, those are jumping closet naked men scares.

I wish in Horror games your character would actually fucking run. I'm a regular 5"11 guy, I can run pretty fast if I get the shit scared out of me. Please god, let me run. Pump that adrenaline through my body.
It looks really stupid when the enemy characters have to basically run close to your speed or just a bit faster, so you see this slow ass jog towards you.

I hope the enemies always kill you within 2 hits (90% of the time 1 shot), getting hit over and over again ruins immersion.

Does this remind anyone of the old Doom 3 Demo? At the end the Hell Knight rips your head off.

I'll buy it, depending on the price. The setting may be cliche, but it looks like it could be really atmospheric as well. Keep in mind they probably want to market to a wide audience with this game considering how good the graphics look, hence the jump-scare filled coverage and the cgi scripted trailer. While it definitely looks now like slenderman-esque horror set in a pretty looking asylum, it could be something else entirely. Who knows, it might even have a compelling story.

But the horror game (yes it's a game, not a movie) I'm really looking forward to:

The dev talks about, "a return to pure survival horror," sounds like something this community might be interested in.
