Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports). "Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

"Generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission.

The subject in the picture is not wearing much clothes, and as far as I know it's possible that it's female in origin.

Ah, the novelty of it all. I hope to see this more often. :D

[–]osire 3 points4 points ago

A naked chick, who fell off a building landing on her face. Then, remove all secondary sexual characteristics. Next, implant metal or wooden, does it matter? Nah, into the skin.

Now you look at it and say, that's not scary enough. Ooooo I know! Attach a big freakin cleaver where their forearm should be.

And what do you get? A naked chick. Sexy

[–]allied14 1 point2 points ago

As a gay guy who's afraid of cats, that was arguably more disgusting.

[–]Daisy_Chain_ 0 points1 point ago

I thought it was going to be kitties and titties in the same picture. Disappointment ensues.

[–]VampiricPie -1 points0 points ago

Then this is perfect for you. (Disregard the first post on that page. Also, very nsfw.)

Alright then shut off the lantern. Problem solved.

Dog.

[–]Explains_Incorrectly 54 points55 points ago

I remember this level. It is extremely difficult to do without a 5.1 or 7.1 audio setup, since the player is supposed to use sound to navigate the level. It's a nice change from all the visually based games out there. We need more games like this that test our other senses.

[–]SpontyMadness 32 points33 points ago

wait what? I don't remember tha-username subtle. well done.

[–]pony_poster 12 points13 points ago

Wait...its supposed to look like that? Here I was thinking it was caused by an incompatibility with my laptop.

[–]Vessix 2 points3 points ago

It probably is. The game isn't supposed to start pitch black. That's an incompatibility problem. If it got dark on a later level and you assumed somehow there is all of a sudden an incompatibility problem even though it was working fine before well... that's just silly.

[–]pony_poster 1 point2 points ago

Oh ok, well I guess I gotta wait until I can afford a gaming setup of my own to play it. Grr built in graphics chips!

[–]ggiioo 1 point2 points ago

burnt out my built in gpu so I got to buy a new one :3

[–]StickyBunz1 1 point2 points ago

I know how to fix that!

[–]pony_poster 1 point2 points ago

Oh? Do share...if you answer get a job,then i'm already that far ahead of you lol...and a degree.

[–]Tyktak 2 points3 points ago

Although this is a joke, the last couple sentences hold true. Imagine a game where you're not able to see anything, only hear things. You just have an analog stick to move and one button that make you clap. Clapping echoes on the walls and the result is used to help you find your way trough the scenario. Coupled with a good 5.1 sound system and some training, later stages of the game could have spikes on the walls, deadly pits and enemies, making it harder to pass the rooms. That would be beautiful.

[–]dannyl4 3 points4 points ago

Game dev here, been working on that for the last two months. Speakers almost certainly wouldn't work though, too much crosstalk.

[–]Tyktak 2 points3 points ago

Wow, that's good to hear! I've been thinking, this type of game can help blind people to learn echolocation? Because that would be awesome.

[–]dannyl4 2 points3 points ago

We're actually in contact with a blind guy who's crazy good at that kind of thing, to the point where he can warn his sighted friends about fire hydrants they're about to walk into. (That's purely anecdotal, but still.) Initially we're marketing to general audiences but it's definitely possible that it could be a game for the blind or for ear training. That does require true 3d binaural audio simulation though.

[–]Tyktak 1 point2 points ago

Cool, this can make life better for a lot of blind people. I don't know much about echolocation, but probably every object with a different density produces a different echo, right? If so, it must be a great challenge to make objects in the game reproduce the echo of their respective counterparts in the real world.

[–]dannyl4 1 point2 points ago

Go stand next to a wall, parallel to it. Close your eyes and lean sideways, towards the wall. Try to stop right before your ear touches anything.

If you're like me, you will be able to feel that there is "something" there. It's really pronounced (REALLY pronounced) if you stand next to acoustic paneling that is meant to absorb sound. There's very little ambient sound coming into that ear, and it's a little alarming sometimes. Generally, there are some very slight aural cues that are picked up by your ears. Directional cues come from differences in timing between ears as well as the way sound is reflected from your pinna (outer ear). Simulating that is most of what I'm working on, using things like HRTFs. Suuuper cool stuff.

[–]Tyktak 0 points1 point ago

It really works! And the way the wall blocks sounds from elsewhere makes clear that it is a large and plain "thing". I've tried this with other things, like a chair, and although I can't "see" the chair, it's clear that the object is different. So echolocation is this x1000? This is really cool!

[–]GrubFisher 0 points1 point ago

We might've if Aureal hadn't been crushed and sealed in a box by Creative.

[–]SamReidn 13 points14 points ago

False,

Amnesia always has a blueish ambient light when you're in the dark.

When you turn off the latern it will be dark for a couple of seconds, but then you'll be able to see 1-2 meters in front of you.

[–]Wahsteve 1 point2 points ago

Though you'll go nuts and succumb if you try navigating like that for too long.

[–]Kaddus 43 points44 points ago

waits for it to load

Oh wait, that was the joke! Hehe

[–]stillalone 21 points22 points ago

I closed it immediately because I thought something was going to pop out any second.

[–]Mogknight23 2 points3 points ago

No nothing will pop out... open it back up and wait a few minutes... you'll be fine... the internet wouldn't lie, would it.

...you do know you can rename a .gif to a .jpg and it will still move, right?

[–]Bixby66 2 points3 points ago

Darkness in games does not scare me, it just pisses me off and forces me to adjust the brightness.

[–]ThroatBlaster5k 7 points8 points ago

Adjust the brightness, because you're scared! =D

[–]Bixby66 9 points10 points ago

No because I can't see where the fuck I'm going and I'm trying to solve another goddamn puzzle. I'm facing the wrong way for most of the scary shit anyways.

[–]ThroatBlaster5k 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, my shit was UPSIDE DOWN, backwards, dark and other shitty things.

[–]iceman78772 -1 points0 points ago

Yeah at home the TV is kinda high in my room and when you view it at a certain angle you know how it gets dark/negative color, it just gets dark for me and when i play Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition and it turns nighttime...i try turning my Gamma all the way up and it is still hard to see...and that point when i ran out of torches...

Amnesia is such a good game it doesn't even care about trying to win your approval through continues eye candy.

That's not Amnesia, that's DOOM 3.

Are you absolutely certain it won't move... stare at it a little longer.

[–]himynameisjaked -1 points0 points ago

i see what you did there...

[–]TwistedChemical -3 points-2 points ago

I probably would have liked that game more if reddit didn't keep bragging about how amazing of a horror game that game was. In the end, I found it quite 'meh'.

[–]Vessix -5 points-4 points ago

That's all the game looks like for me because it doesn't work with my switchable graphics and there's apparently no fix.

I also don't get a refund, so fuck Steam and fuck Frictional Games.

[–]mooncraft -2 points-1 points ago

I don't know what switchable graphics are, maybe get a real graphics card then play you moron

[–]Vessix -2 points-1 points ago

Switchable graphics are when you have the stock graphics card (discrete) in a laptop and switch between that and a more powerful one that is also installed. Mine happens is FAR more than capable of running Amnesia.

You obviously don't know much about computers if you think it's as easy as "get a new one" when someone is using a laptop. As a matter of fact, that comment proves you are a complete moron.

[–]mooncraft 3 points4 points ago

You can't even get your 'powerful' graphics card to run amnesia. So you're the moron.

[–]Vessix 0 points1 point ago

The game itself can't to recognize a second GPU in my laptap... how you're being upvoted for such an ignorant comment is beyond me.

[–]mooncraft 0 points1 point ago

Why would you have one crappy and one decent GPU? Really lame LOL

[–]max1097 -2 points-1 points ago

now that`s what I call free karma

[–]P0073Rs -2 points-1 points ago

I sat here, staring for a solid 14 minutes. I hate what my Internet makes me sit through :( (I expected something to load but it didn't I expected it to load slow because of my Internet)

[–]SkyB4se -2 points-1 points ago

How can I turn a black picture of nothing and turn it into karma? Hmmmm i know!
