Seriously, how the fuck did shit like Scorn and Agony get greenlit by the gaming industry? These games are terrible ideas for several reasons:
>protagonists are weird freak inhuman characters no one can relate to >none of the npcs are anything anyone can relate to as they're all weird ass creatures >environments and music are way too dark and fucked up looking for anyone to have anything more than a passing interest >Aesthetic is too helldark and unnerving for anyone to actually enjoy >impossible to have an interesting story or characters due to nothing being relatable in a human way
This is seriously retarded. I could get a game where you play as a human and kill these monsters, but playing AS this shit?
ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww who the fuck would want to play as that?

There's aren't many games with grotesque art direction. It's an underappreciated art-style, and these two seem to do it right. They are also not anime.

Hunter Wilson
How the fuck can you relate to this? Enlighten me.
People need characters they can relate to and feel something for, you can't feel shit for stuff that looks like monsters from damn nightmares and shit. And the aesthetic is fucked, the environments look like the kind of shit that would cause nightmares. Videogames shouldn't give people nightmares.
Jayden Jenkins
wow, first games without stereotypical space marine manly hero in a not overused setting and yet you complain about it. what a dense retard are you?

Developers have actually dropped otherwise amazing designs, or stifled the creativity of their games because they're afraid people think this way. Fuck you.

Hunter Sullivan
But it's true, people can't relate to this fucking shit. Imagine if Alien was filmed from the point of view of the Xenomorph and not the humans, the movie would have been terrible. How would you relate to a fucking alien predatory beast? It doesn't even look human.
There's a reason we don't have movies like Dark Crystal anymore, directors realized people can't relate to weird ass inhuman shit.
Grayson Murphy

Gabriel Thompson
I feel like such a chump because I can't stop myself from responding. You're good, OP. You're good.
My biggest thing with this is that unfortunately it's how a lot of big publishers think and it's really stifled creativity in the industry.
I miss when protagonists were fucking weird in the PS1 and PS2 days but no one is willing to take risks anymore because budgets are so high. The reason these games are probably as strange as they are is only because they're indie games.

Jace Butler
I know you're trolling, but there really are people that think like that out there, so I will respond to you as normal.
A player with an imagination vivid enough is able to relate to any sort of monstrosity or another abstract object. There are games where you play as a piece of bread, I don't see you complaining about that.
These games introduce a certain universe, with certain pre-set rules. A smart player will be perfectly able to adjust himself into this universe and imagine himself living by these pre-set rules. If one of these rules includes "bascially you're a grotesque vaguely human-like creature on a quest", this player will imagine himself as just that. In summary... hate the player, not the game. If you're incapable of attuning yourself to a setting that is vastly different from our, it's your imagination and intelligence that are lacking, not the creative direction the game in question is taking.
Cooper Howard

Adam Evans
I never said that, I said they have to be relatable. Elder Scrolls games have inhuman races and you can relate to them just fine. It's when it's weird ass shit like that that it loses that. Imagine playing an rpg and you play as some shit like this, and the game's script is written in fucking symbols so you can't understand a damn thing. I can just imagine the engaging discussions on the game on boards and youtube videos:
"Man, I thought it was fucked up when ??? had to kill the ????? inside his ???? It really made me think about what it means to be ?????? You know? Man..."

Those aliens all act human and have faces that show human emotion. Now imagine if that fucking tree man was literally just a damn tree with no face, would you relate to it then?

You sound like one of those people who can't fathom playing anything other than self insert characters in rpg games.
You say people can't relate to "weird ass inhuman shit" but that's a load of garbage. You use that creative part of your brain to MAKE it relatable anyways. Lots of people do it. I do it, and it kills seeing somebody so creatively void actually getting mad at something like this.

Zachary Allen
The original plan was to have a sword be the MC and the main plot happen in the span of many generations and owners of said sword ATLUS told the director that people wouldn't be able to relate with a sword so they pretty much had to redesign the plot to make a human MC fit Stocke is one of the best protags in JRPGs but a sword being the MC would have been amazing

Jason Gonzalez
No, helldark is a special term for when something is so fucked up it goes beyond sickdark. This game and Agony have the aesthetic of helldark. When you reach that point, your setting becomes completely unrelatable and the source of night terrors. I think the teams behind both games are Satanists, and I don't mean the LaVey kind either.
Originally the story was to be focused around a sword, and there would be multiple different lesser characters who used it at different points in history.
Stocke was originally one of these characters as a random assassin, but when they decided to make him the main character he got a rework to fit the role of protagonist.
It's been a while since I've read the article, though.
Evan Barnes
That would've been amazing Has any game ever done anything like it before? Doesn't have to be a sword per se, but an inanimate object or something innocuous like a bracer or a necklace Still, Stocke was pretty dope

>protagonists are weird freak inhuman characters no one can relate to It's not necessary for something to look human in order to project onto it. We come from a species that humanizes things like the sun and moon. I also don't need to see you or what you look like to understand what you are saying even though you could be a blob monster that knows how to type. I also don't need to be able to relate to you to understand that your opinion is bad and that you should also feel bad.

You can't feel emotion towards a character that doesn't look human in some capacity.
Parker Morris
You actually play as the sword, not as the girl. The sword possesses various hosts throughout the game and the psyche of the girl is tied to the weapon so she talks to you but your role in the story is as the sword Maken.
It's also a pretty fucking great arcade-style first person slasher.

You know what? I'm gonna say it.
Those boobs look way out of place. Way too smooth for a gnarly demon whatever like her.

Elijah Cook
You just have to think of it as a dreamlike or some astral travel/drug trip experience or some fucked up corruption thing that happened to you and the world.
I find it's way more difficult for me to relate to a generic bald muscleman space marine than to a wierd ass freak inhuman creature (if it wasn't humanoid at all it may be more difficult though)
Jaxson Hill
I wish parasite eve became a more popular franchise.
Daniel Gutierrez
No, by relate I don't mean self insertion. By relate I mean being able to feel empathy for and understand a character. Their motivations, how they feel about things. You can't do that with monster shit. I've never heard of anyone playing Doom and going "man, I really feel bad for Cyberdemon, I wonder if he's lonely, why does he want to invade Earth so badly?"
Alexander Long

Way to write the same shit three times.
There's nothing wrong with a non-human protagonist. Being able to "relate" to a character doesn't matter this much unless you're playing a story-driven non-game created by a bunch of idea guys with no game design experience.

It won't be easy. They won't understand. Tortured, incomplete, they're not able to understand. Offered the greater whole, they see the loss of the lesser. Offered communion, they see only extinction. I must be careful. I must use this newfound ability to hide. Other things will come here eventually, and it doesn't matter whether they find the living or the dead; what matters is that they find something like themselves, to take back home. So I will keep up appearances. I will work behind the scenes. I will save them from the inside, or their unimaginable loneliness will never end. These poor savage things will never embrace salvation. I will have to rape it into them.
>I will have to rape it into them.

Jace Martinez
OP is a master baiter, but the sad thing is people actually think like this. That's why we don't see anthro, skeleton, robotic, demonic or alien protagonists anymore, just the same boring mid-30's grizzled white male.

I know your kind. You're sick. You think you're illuminated, evolved. But the truth is you're a slave, a slave to your master Satan. You think this world will be yours, when the scientists at CERN open the gateway to Saturn and bring forth the demonic hordes with their "alien" allies to Earth. But know this. While he rules this world, he will fall in the end, his demonic alien otherworldly armies decimated and destroyed by the Lord of Lords, King of Kings, Lord of the Meek and Humble, Jesus Christ.
Laugh and mock while you can, you and your Illuminati drones. We'll see if you continue laughing when you are cast into the Lake of Fire created for the Devil and his angels and alien hordes.
Austin Scott
The shilling is real.
First time I hear of Scorn. It looks like shit, but nice concept art though.

Jacob Smith

Why do you need to directly relate to all the characters in some video game? Would yoou not play anything but humans in some fantasy RPG because you cant relate to them? You wouldnt play an orc because YOURE not an orc? What are you fuckin stupid? Scorn looks cool as hell, I can't wait to play it.

Lincoln Williams
and him damn...so much wasted potential...cant relate at all...
Jonathan Wilson
So you wouldn't play any game that doesn't have a human PC because you couldn't relate to anything but a human being. How can you relate to a game where you play a human wizard? Do you know magic? How can you relate to a game where you play a commander of armies? Are you a general? How can you relate to a game where you're a competent, fearless warrior who fights off hordes of enemies in the form of monsters/zombies/whatever.
You probably only play the simulator series, then? Street Sweeper Sim, Woodcutter Sim, Truck Sim etc.
Almost every player character ever is completely unlike any of the gutless neckbeard manchildren who frequent this board, there's no reason why you should relate to any human protag of any game just because you're both human.
Ryan Wood
My favorite game is truck driver simulator.
Connor Bailey

Can we agree that Scorn looks like it could actually be interesting and very disturbing, whereas Agony looks like edgy teenager tier grotesque demon shit?
Agony just looks really hamfisted to me
Dominic Wood
So is this Gone Home 2, just walk around and solve puzzles?
Ethan Evans
I skipped through the trailer and Scorn looked way too plastic.
Ethan Sullivan
Agree. Scorn has this other worldly feel whereas Agony seems closer to my drawings from my edgy years in high school.
Oliver Parker
Demons, specifically female ones, are supposed to look seductive. It's part of their charm, allure. It's almost like a Succubus, except a Demon will basically fuck your shit up more than a Succubus.
Kayden Powell
I guess I should say art direction. I agree that it looks plastic, but the actual art direction to me looks much better than Agony.
I honestly can't wait for these games. Like I wish you hadn't made this thread, because now you've reminded me that I have to wait >=1 year to play these games
Michael Morales
It comes with the H.R Giger territory. It somehow manages to look horrific yet beautiful yet strangely arousing at the same time.
Agony is just... well, it's just Hell, and you can't see shit because of how dark they make it.
Lucas Bailey
The concept of Agony is that the game is actually all about the MC breaking up with his girlfriend.
Colton Lopez
Yes, the multiple guns that are in the game are not in the game.
On another note, I really like how the only way to get Cred Forums to discuss something is to pretend to be retarded for (You)s. Round of applause for all you guys, you sure proved how much smarter you are than OP by lambasting his intentionally stupid stance.
Jacob Peterson
Kind of suspect that this is some kind of weird reverse-psychology shill thread
This shilling isn't even subtle and yet so many people fell for it. Both amused and disappointed.
Andrew Martinez
Does jesus get a bitching supershotgun like DoomGuy?
I just might reconvert and tag along.
Charles Diaz
didn't that game fail its kickstarter like 2 years ago?
Lincoln White
Nice sales tactic OP. Start of listing negatives to get people to argue positive points of your product for you.
10/10 sales bait
Julian Thomas
Thank you, it's nice to see somebody still remembers.
Also "helldark" lol, nice new buzzword. Look up to seeing it in the future!
Christian Butler
I quite liked the twist ending of The Starship Damrey
Liam Torres
because everyone plays videogames to relate to the character and NOT to pretend they're someone they're not, am I right?
Jack Cruz
Diablo 1 has a very limited atmosphere. >wow it's a ruined cathedral >now its caves >weirder caves >hell PoE has a ruined pseudo-Greco-Roman city with alive statues and guts of some weird giant creature that speaks to people in their dreams and corrupts them. Though gameplay-wise Act 4 kind of sucks.
Zachary Kelly
>I could get a game where you play as a human and kill these monsters
that's the point you fucking mongoloid
Carson Foster
It wasn't made for you. Fuck off already.
Jackson Watson
It's a really old troll, look up "grimdark", "sickdark" etc. threads in archive. Used to bash cyberpunk as a genre because it's too gritty and rainy and only edgelords like it.
Adam Gutierrez
I like it
He looks scared. Like he's trapped inside the suit
Austin Bennett

Jeremiah Gomez
While I agree with you, if somebody wants to always play as a human, I also understand that.
In my case a good example would be Mass Effect. I enjoyed playing as various aliens in the great multiplayer of 3, however I'd still rather play as a human in the singleplayer.
Similar example would be an MMO sci-fi game. If the game has a monster as a PC, I want that monster to be a product of some interesting transformation that you play out in the game as a human.

You are pretty good at irony, user. You are not like a little baby at all.
Dylan Lee
Jesus died, he'll die again, sheep.
Sebastian Thompson
Reads like one of those shitposts back when Bloodborne was announced.
Christian Anderson
I am Groot
Evan Sullivan
the guy in ops pic is literally a human with some weird flesh suit on and he looked pretty spooked in one of the trailers
Noah Brooks
>>protagonists are weird freak inhuman characters no one can relate to And? It has the potential to drive a more interesting narrative when we're not playing as something more relatable. A video game should be about telling a story with the player being made to interact and make decisions on how to proceed. If I'm playing a game where the character is wholly inhuman and odd-looking with no relatable qualities, the story should do the job of telling me why I need to care about what happens next. >>none of the npcs are anything anyone can relate to as they're all weird ass creatures It shouldn't be a requirement for NPC's to be relatable. The only time your NPC's should be relatable are when they're integral to the story and not just set pieces to occupy a part of the narrative. In a story where horror is the focus, unnerving, creepy NPC's help to maintain the tone. >>environments and music are way too dark and fucked up looking for anyone to have anything more than a passing interest You're assuming your tastes apply to everyone. I personally find the unnerving atmosphere appealing and want to see more. >>Aesthetic is too helldark and unnerving for anyone to actually enjoy Again, you assume your tastes are applicable to others. They're not. >>impossible to have an interesting story or characters due to nothing being relatable in a human way Not everything has to be relate-able in a "Human way" to be interesting. In fact, making it relate-able is a crutch because it means the story has to follow a set narrative rather than move forward in its own direction. This idea that a player must feel comfortable in some way is overdone and needs to be thrown out for a while if the industry is to evolve in a positive way.
Tyler Parker
read some comics you damn moron. i bet you are some fat american fagot
Ayden Moore
doesnt matter how many times you call these people out theyll still do it because Cred Forums is face deep in 14 year olds, memes and normalfags. they know its intentional but will still continue to do it regardless.
Jonathan Robinson
>this fucking thread
Easton Gonzalez
>Person gets proved wrong >Heh, they fooled you guys, it was just sarcasm no
Joshua Sullivan
I'm worried because they focused so much on that one room in the trailer and the only reason I can think of for them to do that is because it's basically the only thing they have done.
The lack of anything remotely resembling gameplay walking down a hallway and animations that play when you activate an object don't count, combined with how poorly it seemed to be running, only helps confirm my worries.
Also it looked like everything was made of plastic, which seems to happen a lot when devs try to make things look moist.
Zachary Gutierrez
>underground bunker >not a boat
Brayden Reyes
>Cred Forums always argues against everything >"I know, I'll make a thread calling the game bad so Cred Forums will argue for it!" >doesn't even have the guts to actually call the game bad, just non-criticisms like "too dark" and "too unnerving"
Some shill actually thought this he was clever when he came up with this. Sage.
Jacob Edwards
You mean a human with it's lips drawn back by wires and really fucked up skin? Yeah, I imagine that hurts like a bitch.
Carson Edwards
She can literally eat her enemies with those too.
Hunter Ward

Nathan Bailey
Speak for yourself man, I feel bad everytime I have to kill a cacodemon. They did nothing wrong.
Carter Ross
Once again Cred Forums proves that if a game doesn't have a human as a protagonist they go batshit crazy.
Oliver Wood
You named 3 different aesthetics...
Kayden King
I'm not kidding; that's also my fetish.
Josiah Murphy
Then you should play DDS then.
Carson Stewart
What the fuck is the point in wanting to play the same type of person in every game anyway? Its like playing an RPG and saying "i want this character to be exactly like me in every single playthrough."
William Flores
This. It's way too obvious.
Jose Brooks
Who says you have to relate to something to enjoy it? Can't I just enjoy it based on its own merit?
I have a bit of a distaste for OP telling me what I can and can't enjoy based on if I can relate to it or not
I play a game called Dead by Daylight. You can play as a human survivor or an inhuman killer, in a 4 on 1 match. I don't relate to the fucking monster with a bell who can turn invisible but I enjoy playing it because it's actually a fun (but flawed) game
Jeremiah Jenkins
You have convinced me to.
Easton Parker
>People working up all kinds of fantasies to justify the notion that when you die it's not just lights out and that consciousness is just a cruel byproduct of life and its pursuits
You will be lost to the sea of time, as with everyone that has died before you.
Hunter Price
Narcissism.
Grayson Gutierrez
I'm pretty sure OP just wanted to make a Scorn thread and came up with some pretty good bait to make the thread successful
Matthew Torres

Hello, sheltered child.
Nicholas Turner
you relate through the eyes, they're pretty clearly the most expressive bit and the fella is cool looking
Oliver Myers
Fuck this seems like bait. Here goes: to me it seems like you need characters you can relate to. If shit is done right in a story you could relate to a fucking mailbox. This kind of macabre environment looks unique. You also don't need spooky castle environments to be in an uncomfortable situation.
Thomas Martinez
I had to read a book in highschool that was the story of beowulf told from grendels view. It was pretty good.
However, i agree with you in that a visual medium it can be quite the hurdle
Nathan Russell
>same argument used to defend his opinion over and over Shitty bait 2/10
Isaiah Carter
neck self and go back to your safe space you sack of shit
Wyatt Sanchez
People like to self-insert themselves. Escapist fantasy where you're "The Guy" is more profitable long-term because people want an escape from the mundane existence they live outside their own fantasies. Stuff like SAO, The Matrix, and Skyrim are so hugely popular despite how incredibly asinine and mind-numbingly stupid they are overall because people want to be special. Harem anime, too, is so successful because the MC is usually the most bland, unappealing fucktard who can't go two seconds without doing something so unrealistically stupid and unlikely and somehow being the most appealing male in every female character's life that people can self-insert to give themselves a feeling of being relevant to something that doesn't exist.
New Vegas and other gems that are buggy but still good in their own right don't get the kind of love that generic, boring, self-insert stuff gets because they remove all importance from the PC and tell them that the world moves forward without them. Imagine if Skyrim was you being some literally who in the Legion, or a farmer, or someone unimportant who only heard about the Dragonborn. It wouldn't be as successful because it would mean the player isn't special.
Gavin Morgan
>you could relate to a fucking mailbox Shit man I've been able to do that since I was a bab.
Sebastian Moore
>Look Wrong. It has to have a human QUALITY, not APPEARANCE. This is what shows who's an idiot when it comes to arguments about 'is [x] relatable', they can look like a fucking house but have the mind of a person and easily be relatable but some people don't understand that and somehow miss the thousands of children's TV shows where the characters aren't actually human.
Grayson Anderson
OK Lovecraft, slow your roll.
Nolan Ortiz
>if you cant relate to something, its bad
How does being a literal pleb normie feel?
Gavin Morris
Or maybe shut the fuck up you pedantic /k/nerd
Jacob Edwards
did someone say mouth boobs?
Nolan Ortiz
>This game and Agony have the aesthetic of helldark. When you reach that point, your setting becomes completely unrelatable and the source of night terrors. Well... yeah. Agony at least is SET in Hell.
I think the main problem you're having with these games is that they are literally not meant for people with your tastes.
