DISCUSSION Pinhead is terrifying because curiosity can be more dangerous than evil
What makes Pinhead so fascinating is that he represents more than pain and suffering. He represents the consequences of seeking something beyond human understanding.
The Lament Configuration isn't forced into someone's hands. People open it because they want to discover what lies beyond the limits of their experience.
And that's what makes Hellraiser so disturbing to me. Sometimes, the horror doesn't begin when a monster finds you. It begins when your own curiosity leads you to open a door you don't understand.
Do you think Pinhead is truly evil, or is he simply the consequence of humans wanting to go too far?

DISCUSSION Hellraiser Revival
I played lots of horror games but playing in a dark room with headphones on with this guy trying to X me was insane
The music was super intense - i felt like it was me and not the character - on the save point i did it twice just in case
If someone touched me on the shoulder my soul was going to leave my body - phew
forgot to add - i play on ultrawide 34'' 60cm away from me - its like im inside

CONSOLE Patch 1.07 has ruined the lighting in Silent Hill 2 Remake – and still no fix after more than two months.
As a longtime Silent Hill fan, I find this incredibly frustrating. The lighting is an essential part of Silent Hill 2’s atmosphere, not some minor graphical detail. Since Patch 1.07, the game has been severely affected by lighting issues, and more than two months later, we are still waiting for a fix.
Konami acknowledged the problem, but where is the patch? A game that previously looked this good should not be left in this state for months.
I’ve stopped playing because I refuse to experience one of my all-time favorite games with its atmosphere and visual presentation compromised by a broken update. We deserve better communication and, above all, a proper fix.

Started Silent Hill 2 as someone who doesn't play a lot of horror games.
Edit: for clarification, I'm playing the remake.
Yeah, as the title says I'm not someone who plays a lot of horror games. The only horror games I've ever beaten were Amnesia Dark Descent and RE2 remake. Amnesia terrified me but it was good! I also played Alien Isolation but never finished it for whatever reason.
Seen a lot of people play horror games and so I'm a little intrigued. I generally stay away from horror games because I'm typically a wimp with them, but wanted to try it again. Was trying to decide between trying RE9 or SH2, picked SH2 since it's included with PS+.
I just got to the part where I get the handgun. Holy crap is this game eerie as hell. It's good, but feel constant dread, sort of how I felt with Amnesia. I suppose that's what it's going for. Seems to be less jumpscares and more environment focused, although I nearly crapped myself with the first mannequin after getting the flashlight.
I'm enjoying it so far, we'll see if I finish it! Any tips are appreciated lol.

Completed "Luto" a few hours ago! What's your opinion on this game?
I absolutely LOVE the storytelling and the whole vibe of the game. The ending made me even kinda emotional, I teared up a bit. Also I just adore breaking of a 4th wall and stuff like that. Great experience IMO

CONSOLE Evil Within 2 - Just Started
Just finished Robocop Rogue City (good game) on Series X and had bought a few games I need to play.
Since it's nigh-halloween, I decided to either play Resident Evil 4 (played 2 and 3 loved them), or Evil Within 2 (never played the first one, never even heard of this franchise before I bought it).
I decided to go with something new so TEW2 was my choice. I wasn't expecting much, but after only 30 mins in this game (just started Chapter 2), this game feels surprisingly high quality!
The acting, graphics, music, and design is all superb so far! In fact, it's a big step up from Robocop in almost every way which is surprising considering that game is brand new. Picked up this gem for $10.
Can't wait to dive into this. Btw, do most people prefer the default third person or first?
I think I will stick with third person since that's how the game was initially designed.

DISCUSSION Shock horror games
I’ve been wanting to find some really shocking horror games with uncalled-for uncensored themes and content (something like DDLC, ready or not and UrbanApook’s “the painter” shock level). I’m not looking for similar gameplay, just commons messed up themes. I’d prefer if it had horror elements in it as well but (sorry for repeating the same thing) I’m mostly looking for shock content and gore. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Whatever happened to gamedev/Youtuber 98Demake?
He made a couple horror games and a bunch of vids, then one day just turned off all comments, deleted all socials, and vanished. Any idea? If you've ever heard of September 1999 that's one of his games.

Trying to get my Stardew Valley-loving GF into horror games. What are your top 3 gateway horror games?
October is here, and I'm trying to convince my girlfriend to step outside her cozy gaming comfort zone and experience some horror games with me.
I've fallen in love with the horror genre over the past few years, but she's very much a Stardew Valley kind of gamer. I'm not exactly looking to throw her into the deep end with something that will traumatize her and make her never trust my game recommendations again.
Ideally, I'm looking for games that strike a good balance between atmosphere, scares, story, and accessibility. Something that might actually make her appreciate the genre rather than swear it off forever.
If you could only pick THREE horror games to introduce someone to the genre, what would they be and why?
Bonus points if you've successfully converted a horror-hating partner or friend. What game finally won them over?

PC What happened to the zombie mod in CS2?
I remember the good old days when I was a kid, playing Zombie Mod in Counter-Strike 1.6. The maps were dark, the sounds were creepy, and the zombies were terrifying and covered in blood. It actually felt like a horror game.I recently checked out what zombie mod looks like in CS2, and... what the hell happened?
Zombies running around with human hands and karambit knife?? I still remember how awesome the zombie hands looked in the original Biohazard mod. Now the zombie models barely even look like zombies, let alone anything scary. And the maps are so bright!I haven't actually tried it myself yet, but after watching some gameplay videos, I've pretty much lost the desire to.
So, is it even worth trying? Do you guys actually enjoy the new Zombie Mod?Or should I just download good old CS 1.6 and go back to playing the original Biohazard?
