No I'm not some fucking tool who waits until October to enjoy horror. Get bent.

>>8246453
I didn't say I waited, I said that's what I'm playing this month. I don't get it, do you think you're special because you play horror games outside of October?

>>8246484
No one believes you. Drop the facade and gtfo.

oookay moving on from this faggotry, let's talk about spooky games. pic related is Vampire Hunter D for PS1. Like RE but mostly melee based and more actiony.

>>8246517
I had this game as a kid and never got past the very beginning. I should revisit this game.

I'm playing Blood Omen

>>8246426
Huh, Garage is playable in English now? Neat.

Silent Hill 1 and Clock Tower for the SNES.

Finished up Silent Hill 2 and 3. Both were great games, but 3 definitely felt a bit rougher in comparison. First half felt weaker in comparison, though it did pick up once you entered Silent Hill.
Tempted to play through SH4, but I recently started up another RE3 run so that'll be on the backburner. Maybe I'll try to fit in something shorter, like Doom 64, HOTD1, Splatterhouse Wanpaku Graffiti, or Castlevania, not sure if I can fit Clive Barker's Undying or Nosferatu Wrath of Malachi into it.

>>8246426
My n64 flashcart is coming soon any good spooky n64 games I should try?

>>8246426
Considering Hellnight after I finish symphony of the night for the first time. Gonna do fatal frame after that to close out the month

>>8246835
Don’t think there’s many on N64. Besides the RE2 port, there’s also Doom 64 and Quake 64 has a spooky OST. Castlevania I think?

>>8246870
Damn but thanks for the info

>>8246678
me too bro

>>8246517
Fuck. Off.
>>>/v/

I'm going to play the english translation of Baroque for Halloween.
It's going to be released before that, right?
Right?

Woah cool it with the racism, buddy

>>8246426
Castlevania SotN PS1
Parasite Eve PS1
Vampire Hunter D PS1
Silent Hill PS1
Silent Hill 2 PS2
Alone in the Dark PS2

>>8246426
Playing Fatal Frame 2 lately. Also got the good ending in SH1 and plan to get the nightmare ending in Fatal Frame 1. I dunno if Tecmo’s Deception counts but I picked that up too

>>8246517
I love the OVA, is the game any good?

>>8246835
Uuuuuuhhhhhh Majora’s Mask is kinda spooky?

>>8246453
Cool guy alert, look out everyone

>>8248990
It has multiple English translated retail versions though. Wii/PS2 and I think Saturn?

it's very middling. The combat design is nothing special, and the level design is pretty much the Spencer mansion but almost completely symmetrical without much thought or care put into its design. The visual design of some of the areas is worth seeing, the soundtrack isn't bad, and it's a really weird alternate take on Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust's story. It's a fairly short game, and there's some annoying tank control platforming involved, but it's worth playing at least once if you're already a fan. Otherwise you're better off watching the 1985 OVA and Bloodlust.

>>8246517
oh my .... a hand is tawking...

Best way to play the original Splatterhouse?

i'll be playing silent hill 3 after my wife gets her fat ass out of the recliner

>>8249462
Thank anon. Think I’m gonna check it out

Just beat FF2, game was good but I definitely should have played on hard. Only one enemy gave me any trouble at all.

>>8246453

Wish I had the time to play that many games in one month...

>>8250483
adult life and responsibilities, the real horror

>>8249329
Wii/ps2 is a garbage, sterile remake.
Saturn isn't translated.

thief

>>8250803
nice, i've been playing horror themed FMs for thief and tdm

>>8246453
You are far more annoying than the women on Instagram posting their pumpkin spice lattes, faggot. Pretending people have never done festive things for holidays is insufferable contrarianism.

>>8246835
Yeah, as others have said, the N64 didn't get a lot of exclusive horror-themed titles. You have some multi-platform releases like Resident Evil 2 (which does have an exclusive randomizer mode on N64), Nightmare Creatures, Shadow Man, and Quake.

With its soundtrack, Doom 64 is a greater horror-themed shooter, it's the best original horror game on the console by far. Then there's Castlevania, which most folks will say isn't any good. Hybrid Heaven has some survival horror elements, but I wouldn't really consider it a horror game.

>>8246692
A translation came out back in October of 2020, but it got an update a few months ago that added some improvements (the original release didn't translate the in-game images, but the current version does).

>Hell Night.
I'm playing it right now. I just deactivated the control panel and now I'm completely lost.

>>8250803

>>8246517
Is that the game that DMC shamelessly ripped-off?

Emulate the arcade version or play it through the the reboot.

>got back into GW1 for the first time in over 10-12 years last month.
>decide to participate in halloween this year since i'm playing again.
>mfw a little over half of the event quests are essentially endgame/raid tier quests.
>mfw i can't find a group because it's not worth whoever is still playing's time.
well shit. guess i'm going back to GW2 for halloween.

Not gonna let the only proper Halloween thread reach page 10.

>>8256521
Always be spooky.

Can someone explain how to play Ill Bleed? I've tried a few times and it seems like the whole game is just guesswork.

>>8246426

Get the goggles by the tree at the right of the house at the beginning. Using it costs 10 brain meter and marking a point uses 50. Marked points (the blue orbs) can either be, traps, fights, items or nothing. If you mark a trap and activate it then you get some meter back. If it's a fight then you'll get brain meter back for killing enemies or you can escape by mashing whatever the escape button is on the helipad. Also, if you haven't marked the fight beforehand your heart rate will go up. It also goes up from traps. If it goes up enough you'll faint in the next fight and if it goes too high you'll die of a heart attack. There's also a bleed meter that goes up when you get hit or start running when you're already bleeding.
If the meters at the top are going off then it means there's probably a trap around. The only one you need to worry about is the sixth sense meter though. If that one is going off then there's either a fight or an item hidden close by.
All that being said, a lot of it is trial and error even when you understand how the game works. The game is worth it for how insane it gets though.

>>8246426
I like this spooky Halloween list. Maybe I'll give Planescape another playthrough attempt.

>>8250483
OP here, def not gonna finish all those games. I finished D and Kirby's Halloween Adventure, just messed around in Kinetica and Simpsons without 100%ing, and almost done with Dino Crisis. Def not gonna finish DDS, but I will start it. I def wanna play Garage and Hellnight before the month is over though.

>Get bent.

Guess who's marthon rewatching old Simpsons episodes ༽つ۞﹏۞༼つ

>>8246426
How, how is Kinetica a spooky game?

We all agree Kamiya was by far the best partner in Hellnight right? Laughed my ass off whenever he randomly killed an NPC + he got the most unique ending out of them all

>>8260065
He's great. Games need far more characters like that. That game in general is very rough around the edges and you can tell how budget it is, but it has its moments .

Echo Night 2 (PSX)
Clock Tower (PSX)
Sweet Home (NES)
I'm 'avin' fun.

>Want to check out some PS2 horror games
>Almost every game that falls under the genre is being price gouged on eBay and Amazon

>>8262043
use the new dvd exploit where you can play games with burned discs on an unmodded ps2

>>8246835
Shadow Man

>>8262043
Nigger you can just emulate or better yet, do what the other guy said

>Clive Barker's Undying
Oh man, you should make it a priority if you haven't experienced it before.

replaying Shadow Man for the 4th time

Thanks, I didn't know about this. I only knew about the "play from USB drive" method, but that caps upload speeds to 1 MB/s iirc.
