Why can't we get a good CRPG in the Lovecraft World?

Intellectual property law

>>714960106 (OP)
Because most Redditors (like you) believe that Lovecraft means "tentacles, lol".

>>714960151
Retard.

>>714960106 (OP)
I assume its because stories about incomprehensible horror dont translate well to a visual medium

Alot of CRPGs already have Lovecraft shit in them.

>>714960106 (OP)
because it's difficult to make a good one. It takes a good team with good writers and artists and someone who really understands Lovecraft.

>>714960420
exactly. "incomprehensible horror" only works in a literary medium as the very concept relies on the viewers imagination; why prose is and ever shall be the ultimate art form.

>>714960106 (OP)
because howard p lovecraft was an open racist and antisemite so none of the leftist trannie publishers and developers want to touch his work

>>714960106 (OP)
>Why can't we get a good CRPG in the Lovecraft World?
his books are dogshit

>>714960151
Lovecraft is public domain. As long as game sticks to only Lovecraft's original writings it is fair game. The waters are muddled a bit because Mythos also utilizes material by other pulp era horror writers that is not public domain yet.

Finally, a brave they/them said it.

HP Lovecraft turned racist when he lived in NYC for a few months during the early Italian immigration and when niggers were just fleeing the south after the beginning of Jim Crow moving into the inner cities (1920s). Called it the worst experience of his life, hated every moment he was there, and literal hell on earth.

I wonder what would happen if we brought him back from the grave and showed him NYC today with all this shitskin sludge.

Motherfucker would probably find some way to get his hands on a nuke and annihilate everything in it's wake.

>writers of color
Of which color?

>>714960420
>>714960616
It works in tabletop (both TTRPGs and board games), can't see why it would not work in vidya.

I'm sick of Lovecraftslop in tabletop games.

>>714961096
damn US really is brazil tier

>>714960776
The all caps at the end gets me every time.

>>714961096
Lovecraft was so comically over the top racist that he considered everyone who was not Anglo/Norman from New England, Providence various degrees of literal niggers.

>>714961096
Not like the early 1900s were any better when families of wogs and poles were living on their feces under one roof.

>>714960106 (OP)
Stygian Reign of Chaos was pretty good, just a shame the devs ran out of time and money so it was left blatantly unfinished
but until the (abrupt) end it's sorta like a horror Arcanum or Planescape with some VTMB Malkavian stuff mixed in for good measure

as an actual answer to your question, it's because
>a) every attempt to make a lovecraft game is made by fans who are passionate about his work so they set out to make something really fucking good but they don't have enough time and money to do everything they want so the end result ends up being an unfinished mess, see for example Call of Cthulhu Dark Corners of the Earth, Call of Cthulhu the Official Video Game, The Sinking City, ect ect
>b) basically no one is making CRPGs nowadays outside of studios like Owlcat and Larian who are too busy with other projects, and Indies who don't have the money to make anything significant

is this the new bot thread?

>>714960151
HP Lovecraft isn't owned by anyone and is public domain (thank god, copyright laws are so fucking faggy and jewish)

>>714960420
This game is semi Delta Green and CoC inspired and takes place in the same world but modified. It's the closest we'll ever get to a good Lovecraftian rpg. It's actually and underrated flawed gem

>>714961170
honestly that's more like India tier

>>714961152
I wish classic gothic aesthetic with Hammer/Universal vibes would make a comeback in horror, but people these days just can't resist bringing muh eldritch abominations to that too.

The Dreamlands would be a kino RPG setting.

>>714960106 (OP)
Weirdly enough, there's been a couple of good "King in Yellow" games that have come out recently.

>>714962406
Yeah we need more Dunsanian RPGs.

Lovecraft was a jew and had a jew wife (?)

>>714962643
Which are
>signalis!
Kill yourself you fucking tranny. Its not

There are people who think they are into cosmic horror but they only like the commercialized surface level crap like monsters ans tentacles.
You can try any FFG product from the Arkham series but it's all superficial kitsch slop designed for normalfags.
The level of suspension of disbelief required to enjoy Lovecraftian horror is simply unachievable for the modern audience. You can't fear the unknown in the age of information overload.

It would work better as a text heavy RPG like something from the dos area of gaming

>>714960106 (OP)
What would you roleplay? The whole point of the protagonist in the setting is to see some shit and go insane / walk away.

>>714961391
Really sucks that this game is unfinished.

>>714962975
Whoa spoilers
Nice the you cant sex girl the game

>>714960106 (OP)
Because it's not a visual thing.

>>714961464
>See a thread for the 2nd tome
You guys are such huge crybaby faggot pussies. Go back to your stealth poltard threads or e celeb worship garbage.

Even funnier thing than Lovecraft's racism is how he wrote Cool Air because he was spooked by air conditioning and considered it science that is going too far.

>>714960697
>"incomprehensible horror" only works in a literary medium
This is just false, multiple visual mediums (not just videogames) can archive the same thing if not better

>>714961464
>Thread isn't le aaa jap slop game or ubislop garbage

You're the reason this board is dying

>>714961170
Has been for the past 40 years now.

Bump

>>714965373
Is it a russkie game?

>>714967082
Fear & Hunger, a Finnish game but it has a sizable Russian fanbase.

>>714960106 (OP)
Because (you) keep reposting this thread. It's entirely (you)r fault.

>>714961254
That's just normal racism though

>>714960106 (OP)
CRPGs are all shit that's why

>>714961117
The colour from outer space, anon.

>>714967737
He even married a Jew. Lovecraft was just a normal guy of his time who, obviously, disliked poor foreigners and white trash. And his stories even include some exceptions of them being good guys.

>>714960106 (OP)
Look Outside is heavily inspired by The Colour Out of Space
