Edgy games general

My favorite scene was when the MC turned the girl that liked him into a shoggoth-knockoff with rape.

at least then i would have had a friend

:-]

I like the idea for outlast, the camera shit and all that.
They should have made a specific monster for them instead of just generic plaguefags. Something akin to the rake or slender man or any of those SCP creepypasta monsters would fit well with the "investigation with cameras" thing.

You'd figure the monster in a game about a cameraman would be something that is invisible to the naked eye.

Exactly, something you can only see with the camera or mirrors, which would give them an excuse to actually have functional mirrors ingame

You're god damn right you would have had a friend. It's nothin' personnel.

oh fuck that game was GREAT, is there anything else remotely like it (VN or other media formats)? I looked for a while but I didn't find much and gave up.

MGQ part 3.

It's not creepy weird, but it has the same kind of hollow charm.
Try Planetarian, it's a vn, but it has that same kind of hard lasting emotional impact. The short story it tells is an absolute masterpiece. It's only about four hours long but those four hours are something you will remember forever.

Hatred should have gone full edge. It should have had a school in there, too bad the devs pussied out when it came to that shit.
Not Important wouldn't give a fuck, he'd kill children with equal brutality as he kills everybody else.

Most importantly, he wouldn't kill animals as they were his friends.

Don't you mean (you) ?

Is Outlast 2 safe? Tryhard I can see but not safe.

Manhunt 1 was fucking brutal, if it was that controversial for its time I wonder how things would be now with more realistic graphics and animations.

Thread over.

Let's see here….

Manhunt 1 and 2 are the good kind of edgy. They both have a reason for all the dark shit in the games and they would've been terrible if they just made a really gory game and called it a day. Instead they made great games with good storytelling and a fantastic atmosphere. Easily a great example of how you edgy right. Second and third pics related.

How is a football game edgy like Bad Mojo?

You get points for killing players and crushing testicles.

Postal 2 isn't edgy.

when you start arbitrarily making things off limits for some sort of strange moral high you entirely miss the point of humor

What is the premise of Outlast 2?

you're an investigative journalist trying to get a scoop on a reclusive religious cult. hijinks ensue

"You are Blake Langermann, a cameraman working with your wife, Lynn. The two of you are investigative journalists willing to take risks and dig deep to uncover the stories no one else will dare touch.
You're following the trail of clues that started with the seemingly impossible murder of the pregnant woman known only as Jane Doe.
The investigation has lead you miles into the Arizona desert, to a darkness so deep that no one could shed light upon it, and a corruption so profound that going mad may be the only sane thing to do."

See
Also, the game goes fucking insane. You never had to deal with a lady swinging a fucking pickaxe at your nuts, or a Christian death cult obsessed with tearing out your wife's cervix and stepping on it in Outlast 1.

Notim Portant was a sensitive man. He knew that the best way to kill children and animals was with nuclear fire.

You're going to be running… a lot. There will be a lot of trial and error in what the developer expects you to do. You also refill your battery from dying, which you'll be experiencing many times ad nauseam.

This begs the ultimate question.

Could Notim Portant survive Outlast 2 with only his trusty AK (10 magazines of ammo), knife and combat boots of profound kicking?

Lucius was "edgy" the game

Bought it for cheap hoping it's decent but I'm not holding my breath. I did the same shit in GTA Vice City but it had charm, colour and humour about it as well.

I like that Vice City is a screwed up as it is with almost zero nudity and gore as well as only a handful of swears. It shows a level of finesse you don't see in M rated games anymore.

I think it was lucky to be made exactly when it was made. They could push the boundaries to the technical limits without going overboard.

When you got a headshot the head disappeared and they fell to their knees with the neck spraying blood like a fountain. Couldn't really have something like that in a modern game without it looking really cheesy.

There's also a chainsaw, because of the scene in Scarface. One of the missions has you chasing down a fat gangster and killing him with that.

The fun police of today would never let you run into a gay bar with the Village People performing and start chucking molotovs, shooting people and killing them with chainsaws.

No, they'd let you do all that but it would be a heavily scripted encounter with at least 5 QTEs. Also a third of the dialogue, because of course it must have lots of dialogue, will just be someone screaming "fuck".

It's got adult diapers, so I guess it's a tumblr game.

You've got to slowly subvert people to edge acceptance If they'd included a school scene, evening at night without kids and only cops and a few janitors, they'd not have been allowed in steam and might have become a banned game most everywhere. Things take time user, be patient.

Does that actually happen ingame?

I apologize for the ID change, but yes. There are several encounters with a pickaxe wielding woman, and front facing executions by her involve getting stabbed in the cock. There is audio at certain parts of the game where villagers talk about killing your wife, as she bears the 'Enemy'. As you can guess, the villagers are on a coked-up version of Mormonism. The three major antagonists are the villagers, the heretics, and the lepers living in between the two other factions.

Damn were Satanists always this unsubtle?

People realize that upside-down crosses aren't satanic, right? It's the symbol of Saint Peter, who asked to be crucified upside-down because he didn't feel worthy of dying in the same manner as Jesus

who the fuck thought this was a good idea for a joke

It's supposed to be stupidly over the top and ridiculous, which is why there's shit like some guy going super saiyan because his friend got turned into butter by a crazy gyaru who literally caused the end of the world with memes, not edgy. Otherwise the blood wouldn't look like fucking pepto-bismol.
Also, Chihiro isn't a tranny. Did you even play the game or are you just parroting shit you read on Tumblr?

Just like pentagrams aren't witch-related, and the Celtic cross is kosher, and niggers should think people are wishing them happiness and prosperity when they get swastikas painted on their front doors, right?

...

That's literally Manhunt 2 tho. Agree on the first Manhunt, that was a great game

...

how could you pull of edgy in the correct manner?

You can't, because "edgy" is the result of failing to entertain by being "hardcore." You're either hardcore or you mess up and become edgy. You can be a funny hardcore, or a serious hardcore–no matter how you do it so long as it entertains the audience like it's supposed to, it works. But when you fuck up you come off as edgy and become a laughing stock.

Saya is shit and deserves extermination.

>tfw the MC recalls child soldiers in the war, given fake chocolate rations before battle and forcing themselves to enjoy it, having never experienced the taste of real chocolate before

That, and the final scene are the most memorable to me.

Except the inverted cross is still a symbol of St. Peter.

this would be a little less retarded if the inverted cross had gone out of style and only resurfaced recently with edgy shit, but the vatican has used it since its foundation and continues to use it to this day. Simply because a bunch of people use a thing incorrectly and don't know its actual meaning, does not mean the symbol has changed meaning.
And yes, pentagrams are not witch related, they are a medieval christian symbol of healing representing the 5 wounds of Christ. The sigil of Beelzebub, which is the upside down pentagram, is satanic though.
