The Stinking City is unironically the most based game of the decade.
>Filthy Innsmouth refugees come to Oakmont. >Based Oakmonters raid them, kill entire families of Innsmouther refugees. >Call them subhumans. >The game gives you tons of text about how hated the Innsmouth refugees are in Oakmont.
When, long ago, the gods created Earth In Jove's fair image Man was shaped at birth. The beasts for lesser parts were next designed; Yet were they too remote from humankind. To fill the gap, and join the rest to Man, Th'Olympian host conceiv'd a clever plan. A beast they wrought, in semi-human figure, Filled it with vice, and called the thing a Nigger.

>always heard it pronounced Innsmith >this dumb game decides it's Innsmouth dumb inb4 hurrrr durrr but that's how it's spelled
Ryan Williams
had high hopes for the game. Really sad it turned out to be utter shit
Daniel Murphy
Literally Soros.
Christopher Brooks
It's pronounced as Innsmith, but spelled as Innsmouth. Same as Portsmouth is pronounced as Portsmith
Hudson Myers
>hurr durr
Absolutely based. I have a recording of myself reading it. The best poem ever written by man.
Ryder Rogers
Portsmouth isn't pronounced Portsmith though
Juan Bailey
I know that, that's why I specifically inb4ed it and why I'm mildly mad they did this.
Hudson Richardson
Close to that. You don't pronounce 'mouth' as you would normally.
Lincoln Morgan
Shit game
Michael Nguyen
Holy fucking reddit. >recording yourself reading a poem yikes!
Blake Turner
I have literally every Lovecraft media as e-books + all audio books up to 2016, when i downloaded a mega link from some user. Where should i start, literally never read/saw one of his story, just know about le squid meme god.
Brandon Rodriguez
worth pirating?
Jaxson Sanchez
I liked The Colour from out of Space.
Luke Hughes
*A poem about niggers, you uncultured nigger.
Owen Sanchez
Star with The Colour Out of Space. If you don't like it then you won't like his other stuff
Wow, this guy's so aloof and above it all guys! Liking things is for fags amirite? Now time to post the same wojak image for the eighth time today to show how much of an individual I am, heh, totally showed those losers
Why is it always Innsmouth and not Mountains of madness or dream journeys of kadath?
Connor Peterson

The conversations with NPCs in this game are really poorly stitched together movie clips that vary wildly in tone from one poor transition to the next. The main character looks bored and is fidgeting with his hands constantly like an autist during these conversations as well, it's distracting how retarded and dopey he looks but still has that gruff main character voice that every video game gives their protagonist.
The combat isn't even worth talking about, it's just strictly by the numbers third person shooting, absolutely bare bones with a crappy crafting system and resource management to go along with it.
The detective stuff is the best part but it's really just a game of brute forcing clues together in your mind palace, looking at objects with your cthulhu vision to spot secret clews, and arranging the order of events that transpired at crime scenes which is easy as piss. Sometimes you use your cthulhu vision to follow the trail of some suspect similar to The Witcher. The game is basically a hodge-podge of mechanics and conventions from better games.
Samuel Rodriguez
extremely obvious shilling
Blake Perez
Cause a Mountains of Madness adaptation would probably end up either going the route of the Dante's Inferno game or the first Outlast.
Nolan Sullivan
Can't say I heard of this game.
Sebastian Myers
What's wrong with it?
Gavin Edwards
Another problem I have is the pacing of this thing, a lot of these Lovecraft games have no idea how to do build up and this one is the worst for it. It's not even ten minutes into the game and you're already shooting eldritch headcrabs. They don't even try to introduce them in an interesting way either, they just appear and you easily shoot them.
Daniel Jackson
MARKED ONE WHAT THE HELL
Isaac Williams
>epic store exclusive Okay, im buying it on Piratebay.
-mouth is almost always pronounced as "-muth". Both smith and smouth are not the way they're meant to be pronounced.
Dominic Adams
kek
Leo Ortiz
Reddit posters are like people that shit on the floor and then loudly asks who did it. Everyone knows it was you, nigger. You don't fit in, go back, you're not wanted
I didn't have high hopes and this is pretty much what I expected. I get a sense of insecurity from this game, the way it has to litter the game world with dead octopi and other lovecraftian shit every ten feet like it feels the need to constantly remind you that you are playing a game with lovecraftian themes. I guess it's because this game has nothing else going for it.
Carter Reed
Wat game I googled it and no results breh Based
Wyatt Fisher
Based
Nicholas Foster
these people have no idea what lovecraftian horror means. This shit looks like some REALLY fucking generic adventure game, not a horror. Play something like original Call of Cthulhu or The Evil Within 1 if you want lovecraftian atmosphere.
I sympathize with this dumb wojak poster. It's not that games are incapable of capturing the lovecraft essence, but that lovecraft was raped by same sort of people who shopped at Hot Topic and Borders.
Jack Peterson
>call of cthulu >redeemable qualities
Chase Taylor
>Dark Corners of the Earth is still the best Chtulhu game. And was made by devs who went through dev hell. If only there was an updated version without bugs and AI issues, the game might be legit a great game.
Logan Smith
Sucks to hear the game is utter dogshit
Isaiah Nelson
>another cthulhu game is dogshit why do keep fucking it up? truly a cursed premise
Colton Clark
For real. I just want a good cthulu mythos game wtf devs. Stop making walking sims and fucking dumpster fires.
Anthony Sullivan
play something that's inspired by cthulu mythos, instead of shitty games that rip off the lore.
see
Evan Davis
Fuck off dude I'm not playing fallout 4. Just give me a god damn CRPG based around the tabletop game.
Ryan Hall
Sunless Sea best game
Connor King
Is there a single GOOD game that's Epic exclusive?
I'll take a walking sim at this rate over forced action. It's bad when a porn game I played recently does lovecraft better than AA budget games
Landon Lopez
Portsmouth is pronounced 'pompey'.
Brayden Martin
Satisfactory looks good, but it's only a timed exclusive.
Brandon Phillips
Satisfactory is just an objectively worse and simpler factorio, what's even the point?
Carter Gray
Heard good things about metro, but i'm not playing it on the walking aids factory that is Epic
Anthony Cooper
reminder the best lovecraft game ever made doesn´t even use his source material and is called eternal darkness. most of the other lovecraft games are literally just this
Logan Lopez
I think a big problem with Lovecraft games is that devs tend to treat it as a giant goodie bag and they're just trying to jam everything Lovecraft related in there, whether it fits or not. It just comes across very disjointed and awkward when a game has cthulhu, dagon, innsmouth, cultists, polyps, hastur, shoggoths, etc. all included haphazardly just to hit all the sweet spots. There might be a way to do it in an elegant fashion, Dark Corners was okay about it, but still it always comes across as a 'greatest hits' type thing to me even there. Broad strokes and all that.
I bet this game is actually pretty good. Yea Forums, for one, doesn't play games, and second, they have no idea how to talk about them, and then third, the loudest opinions are always fucking retarded.
Jordan Price

Same. Epic already paid for my copy.

Nathaniel Scott

Jordan Perry
It’s more of an “innsmuth” rather than “innsmith”
Lincoln Clark
But we can agree it isn't "Inns-mouth", right?
Carson Sanders
I was about to say this.
Alexander Cook
It doesn't make sense...
Asher Stewart
I'm curious about the trigger warning at the beginning? Is 'nigger' said a lot in the game or something?
Caleb Richardson
Its pronounced as MUTH. InnsMUTH. Not InnsMOUTH or InnsMITH.
Jack Lopez
Well, I haven't played many builder games so the 3d aspect seems great to me.
Jaxon Diaz
it does not matter
I pronounce it insmooth
Brayden Fisher
The entire point of engineering games is complicated systems that you can master over time to make efficient. It's like a puzzle with multiple layers of depth. Satisfactory's entire design document is based around making things as simple and straight forward as possible so there are no intermediary products. Basically you take ore and make metal and then use that metal to make end products. Compared to factorio where you get ore, make meta plates, use those plates to make a variety of things that need to be combined to make a variety of other things that need to be combined to maker a variety of other things etc etc.
It means that the entire process is important as you develop your systems and every new thing you need to make requires it's own processing location. So you're constantly learning and mastering new concepts and overcoming hurdles that make the game fun. Whereas in Satisfactory once you make metal, that's fucking it kiddo. You just scale up and make more metal and then use that pile of metal to make your product. It's just grinding.
Dominic Cooper
Metro is old as fuck and you can probably find it anywhere else. It is also a poor man's STALKER
Noah Hughes
The Allure of Wanton Cove. Enjoy, it works both as fap material and a really solid detective romp with good pacing
Carter Russell
how was this delayed for a year when it's one of the most unfinished and unpolished game in years? the combat feels like a WIP made by an intern
Henry Lopez
Threadly Lovecraft thread reminder, ahem,
HIS BEST WORKS ARE THE MUSIC OF ERICH ZANN, PICKMAN'S MODEL, AND THE COLOUR OUT OF SPACE.
>game tries to ape lovecraft >just throws in some tentacles and name drops I’m tired of this shit. Only Bloodborne managed to capture the feel of lovecraft without blatantly name dropping.
Jaxson Reyes
>No rats in the wall Shit taste
Easton Reed
Yeah, for me it's The Rats in the Walls, The Haunter of the Dark, and The Case of Charles Dexter Ward.
Aaron Moore
>one of the splash screens is the about how racist Lovecraft was >mentions depictions of racisms are included specifically to not "pretend they never existed" Not sure what to make of this. Not sure what to make of my inability to screenshot it, either. Should I pirate FRAPS?
Isaiah Young
> of my inability to screenshot it ever heard of the print key on your keyboard? try using it sometimes
Chase Wood
sounds smart to me. any Lovecraftian thing that avoids addressing his racism is cowardly imo. I have heard it doesn't do much with it, however.
Jordan Watson
Fallout 3 is overt with the references, but pulled off some lighter Lovecraftian vibes really well. The Dunwich building has people being slowly turned to madness by some odd influence older than the bombs in the basement under what was a normal office building Point Lookout's tribals fit perfectly into the Call of Cthulhu story, with the packs of degenerates in odd corners of the earth worshiping some ancient thing before and even after the end of the world
Benjamin Adams
You think I didn't try using that?

and did you also ctrl+v in paint after you took the screenshot?
Kayden Perez
Smoke weed.
Nathaniel Nelson
Yes, smartypants. Some games that doesn't work, I don't know why.
Color Out of Space, Erich Zann, The Thing on the Doorstep. Short stories and some of his best, ranging from all around his career. That's how you know he gets good. Then you read from start to finish so you can laugh at all the schlock he wrote. Contrary to popular belief, Lovecraft was a very social guy with a dry sense of humor. Some of his works are subtly hilarious, some of them hilariously bad. Notable entries like The Street, The Trap, and Medusa's Coil still make me laugh out loud. But I love the guy's work, and he definitely deserves his reputation, even if most people think he's the tentacle monsters and crazy people killing themselves author even if that stuff is only a small fraction of what he produced.
Adrian Evans
Then change to borderless.
Charles Stewart
No one ever mentions the white ship. I like the white ship. It is good story.
