Thread 717562962

Remember when /v/ was praising this as the best horror game of all time?

i played this for the first time at the highest difficulty and felt nothing by the end

it felt like a genuinely basic, by-the-number horror game that doesnt excel on anything and is just fine from start to end. There came a point where every encounter was so easy to trivialize by just sprinting.

>>717562962 (OP)
No, all I heard from here was that it was dykeslop

So... this is the creative power of theymabs... whoa...

i liked it
which i imagine is rare here. It seems everyone is determined to make every game goty or the worst game ever made. Sometimes a game is good and that's enough and okay.

>>717562962 (OP)
this one trans girl i go shooting with will NOT stop bothering me to play this game. the reason i know its mid is because she is similarly autistic about kerbal space program.

It still is one of the best, at least for me.
No i do not care for the cringe fandom or lesbians or whatever.

>>717563665

It's literally a Resident Evil clone you retard. How the fuck have you not seen any screenshots of gameplay?

>>717563665
adding /thread to an incredibly retarded post doesn't make it right just so you know

>best horror game of all time?

It was never even close to that, it's not in top 10, it MIGHT be in the indie-games-only top 10.
It's a fine game but massively overselling it did not do it favors.

>>717562962 (OP)
no

Now this is creatividad.

>>717562962 (OP)
Just because you found something to be contrarian about, or can use as an excuse to publicly obsess over trannies doesn't mean Signalis isn't a good game.

>>717562962 (OP)
This never happened. I only remember a bunch of tranny loving freaks circle jerking.

>>717563665
theres not a single trans character in the whole game

no?

>>717562962 (OP)
The ARG meta narrative was pretty cool and coming together with /v/ to solve it was awesome, but the game itself was tedious slop. Ironically even the dev realized it which is why he bothered to handwave it with muh rule of 6.

I remember praising it as a good PS1 survival horror style game
Which it is

>>717565553
I think consensus was here that it was the best RE clone or horror game for that year.

Honestly I will never play it because of its LESBIAN SEGGGGSSS
Its literally the only thing I've heard about the game.

I want more actual horror games but the newest indie game Heartworm just has minimal combat

>>717563532
You hang out with a mentally-ill man at a shooting range? Alright, Chris Kyle.

>>717562962 (OP)
Yeah, it sure was horror-ble having locked doors that required you to fill your six-slot inventory with only keys or make round trips just to unlock them.

>>717571047
That sounds miserably old school for the sake of it.

>>717562962 (OP)
yes and then the "wrong" people found it, so you had to pretend to hate it.

>>717562962 (OP)
I remember a few weeks of great and genuine discussion of a good game, after that, total schizotown

>>717562962 (OP)
I got the leave ending. I was extremely careful about ammo conservation and would routinely return to save points after pretty much anything I deemed significant. Even picking up a key item or every few new rooms I found.

Solid game. I only got stuck once in the meat dimension because I couldn't tell there was a doorway next to me. Would play again.

>>717562962 (OP)
No, but I remember it had wonderful threads and when they died down they were replaced by /pol/shit bait and shitposting.

Modern indie horror games are mostly "dot eyed monster teleports to you" and signalis having a cohesive environment that wasn't just asset flipping made it much higher quality among nu-horror.

>>717562962 (OP)
Haven't played much survival horror games, but I thought the game was neat. Nowhere fucking sucked dick though.

Kolibri has something for you.

Unless you called it that

>>717572729

This is the type of person who is not interested in what things actually are like. He only looks for the first superficial sign that something is "woke" so that he can start ignoring it. His small mind would die from stress if he had to consider things like "nuance".

>>717573105
You could cut that whole thing down to just "hasn't played it but needs to let everyone know"

It's like with Peripeteia. It's just a circlejerk of discord troons astroturfing it.

It's Silent Hill Resident Evil Dead Space Blame and Evangelion unapologetically put into a blender in a not-so-subtle way
But it still manages to be outstanding somehow
I dig it

>>717573308

Let me guess: you have never played either game. Probably not even SEEN them played.

>>717562962 (OP)
not gonna play this game because there's lesbians

>>717573367
He's never played those games because there aren't mobile versions of them available.

>>717562962 (OP)
I liked it but people really overrated it. I blame the mixture of cool art style and Yuri bait which overrides goonerbrains.

>>717562962 (OP)
Just like undertale, its baby's first phycological horror. It's written by someone with two braincells with audience older then 16 in mind so every zoomer thinks its a masterpiece. Also the creator is a tranny-adjacent so everyone will praise it to high heaven.

>>717570834
Underrated post.

>>717568164
>>717568475
I never read Blame but then I checked it on the booru.
They made an entire game based on some yuri fanart

>>717564049
Most men in game dev are so absolutely devoid of masculinity and disgusted with themselves that whenever they make a female protagonist, they cannot possibly fathom her being attracted to a man. You have to remember alot of these people worship femineity and detest masculinity.

I liked it and only found out about the game from 4chan
So thank you anons!

>>717563324
>smoking doesn't exist

I remember when the threads hadn't yet been infested with /u/fags and that falseflagger.

>>717571857
I'm still pissed I didn't get around to playing it until after that point.

>>717576001
I see more posts from niggers here complaining about their boogieman than any of it actually making an appearance.

>>717562962 (OP)
I still do. Maybe not best, but top 10

I really like it when a game uses both Japanese and German languages. For some reason this combination is really pleasant to me. I'm currently learning Japanese and will probably start learning German once I'm done with Japanese.

>>717562962 (OP)
that never happened
it was just a bunch of roleplaying trannies

>>717562962 (OP)
I remember when one SA was spamming it

>>717576349
It did happen. You were just too preoccupied with being outraged by the %CURRENT_THING of that time.

>>717576321
>Once i'm done with japanese

>>717576415
no I was here for signalisposting

after the first couple of days it was all roleplaying trannies

>>717576084
I don't know if he's still here. But not long after the game came out there was someone spamming about this being a tranny game all the time in the threads (that actually discussed the game).
When he realized nobody replied to him, instead he started making threads everyday about how this game was the best horror game and mogged every other one.
Now of course the only threads you'll see about this game is just yurishit.

no idea what the game is about but apparently the protagonist is a lesbian. but i really do enjoy jerking it to rule 34 of her getting dicked down, despite that.

>>717576832
The protagonist is a FUCKING machine

>>717571857
Every game is like that. Honestly signalis lasted longer than usual for /v/.

>>717575901
Wife doesn't exist, she's fake.

It's a sort of ludonarrative kino that might have gone over your head a little.

no

I seen countless people calling this a tranny faggot game on here, then I actually played it and there's like a 20 second scene where 2 robot girls embrace each other halfway through. Basically what I'm trying to say is /v is almost always wrong.

Whoever thought that making a narrative expecting dark souls and evangelion guesswork is pretentious asshole

>>717578701
hwat?

>>717578662
The main character is a lesbian and it's a yuri game made by a person named Yuri.

>>717578739
storytelling where you need to guess what the hell is even real and can come to a conclusion that the game is dog's dream sucks

>>717567452
You just described /v/'s ideal game

>>717578662
It really feels like there's some faggot intensely dedicated to shitting on the game, willing to go as far as falseflag as a yurifag to smear it further as 'the tranny game'.
I had the grace to play this before seeing the threads and thought the relationship was a well-composed tragedy - I was horrified to see what these retards cooked up in their heads about it.

>>717562962 (OP)
Fine game usurped by yurifaggots(trannies) and just trannies.

>>717562962 (OP)
I remember how there were daily threads hyping it while shitting on Residemt Evil and Silent Hill.
That's why I blacklisted it; as a fan of RE and SH I refuse to play a game whose creators and fans actively hate them and keep telling me they're shit and should play their game instead.

>>717578957
The main problem is that some niggers take the yuri thing so far up their ass it just starts getting annoying. Like the entire Sesbian Lex meme and its derivatives.

>>717578905
I like it.

I'd compare it to Silent Hill, which was an obvious influence. In 2 specifically The foggy town just provides the background to working into James' psyche, while the exact nature of the place and the reality of our experience has little relevance. It's all about James and what he did and him trying to come to terms with it. The town is the tool enabling that process and is left vague and unexplained.

Similarly Signalis' events and areas are a tool for Elster to try to pick herself up and remember what truly matters to her, as she's dying and fragmented into all the parts she's built out of. She keeps repeating this cycle of reliving all her pasts, until she's stabbed in the eye (like Odin) and gains the secret knowledge she needs to have to remember and move on. (The same thing happens to Adler).
Whether any of it is real or not, or a metaphysically real dream of a Lovecraftian entity, doesn't really matter. It's all about Elster trying to remember what she has to do, the same way James' story was all about what he did.

>>717579318
>as a fan of RE and SH
>I refuse to play a game whose creators -- hate them
Why would you believe bullshit like this? The game is full of homages and references and aesthetics and gameplay mechaanics taken straight out of games like those. Red saving screens and jumping into holes are a constant reminder of what's inspiring Signalis.

>>717579362
Where?
When was the last time someone posted that in a signalis thread not just to le ironically shitpost?

>>717579416
>(The same thing happens to Adler).
And Isa Isolde too, to add a third example. Two might be a coincidence, but three is an obvious reference.

>>717579485
Not talking about 4chan specifically, but Youtube and such.

>>717579532
Nigger you can ruin any game you want by looking at the fucking youtube and reddit retard 'community' posting about it.

>>717579594
Sadly that's people making the most content for it.

>>717579469
If you browse the threads you find that rather than considering those setpieces homages / straight plagiarism, the fanbase claims that SIGNALIS "does those things right, unlike those pieces of shit Resident Evil and Silent Hill". I even saw them shitting on Fatal Frame of all games a couple times.

It's not normal that I blacklist a game due to its creators and fanbase, especially when I buy and play indie Resident Evil / Silent Hill clones all the time, but Signalis was so obnoxious it forced my hand.

>>717579671
You wouldn't have survived back when tumblr was still big.

>>717579918
Then don't complain, dipshit. Everything you like and have liked is most likely also enjoyed by an utter tool, and likely an outspoken, terminally online one too. Go digging for faggotry and you'll find faggotry.

Not really, it was just a competent horror game with an interesting visual hook.

>>717562962 (OP)
>Remember when /v/ was praising this as the best horror game of all time?
No, but I remember some neat discussions as people played it when the game was new and still had an air of mystery.

Other than that I remember predicting the yuri twist at the beginning of the game.

>>717578781
>it's a yuri game made by a person named Yuri
You know that HIS actual name isn't Yuri Stern.
HE chose that name when HE trooned out shortly before the game released in homage to an Israeli politician HE esteemed.

Before that, though:

>As a third-person survival horror experience using low-poly 3D models and 2D sprites to create pixel-perfect visuals, rose-engine‘s Signalis makes aesthetic choices that turn heads and create intrigue. Remote, snow-covered planet? Check. Ruins of an underground labor camp? Check. Cosmic horror? Check. Thanks go out to developer Alex Zwerger for chatting me up and fielding my varied questions, and a suggestion to readers: if you don’t already have the word ‘retrotech’ in your vocabulary, add it.

In the meantime, HE also called HIMSELF Alexander Yang.
April 2, 2020
>Illustrators and developers Alex Yang and Barbara Wittmann (working under the Rose-Engine moniker) have been plugging away at Signalis since at least early-2014 - taking the occasional break to release Itch platformers Ascend and Coffin Counselling.

Seems like HIS name is as fluid as HIS gender identity.

Happens quite often. Even you made up some new name for him in this very post.

>>717564503
this
only insecure faggots avoid playing games because of the fanbase
also this is another case of the game being bad because it's popular, the threads when it released were actually discussing the game properly, nowadays is just game is bad because I'm a poltard shit

>>717579416
I like the idea that it is in a large part what you said, but also an alium found them and since one of them is bioresonant and the other is full of regrets, he kept building a reality according to what he saw in their minds, except that they're fucking crazy and full of guilty and the reality doesn't make any fucking sense at all.

Cool game. But then am a big fan of Lovecraft so I am naturally inclined to enjoy this kind of gayms.

>>717584006

Both the media and HIM used Alexander and Alex quite interchangably when HE still called HIMSELF Zwerger. You're being dense on purpose, tranny.

>>717585593
>when HE still called HIMSELF Zwerger
Alexander Yang is different from Alexander Zwerger as well.

>>717585868
Duh. HE had three names:
Alexander/Alex Zwerger.
Alex Yang (you dense motherfucker).
Yuri Stern, in honor of Zionism.
Like I said, HIS name is as fluid as HIS gender identity.

>>717586367
Yeah, so why make one up?

>>717586470
I didn't, (You)'re just playing dumb because I "deadnamed" the creator of your garbage game.

>>717572694
What will sex with a Kolibri be like? Mind shattering pleasure from the mind feedback loop?

>>717586646
No, I'm just making fun of you complaining about "fluid" names when you can't even keep names straight.

You hate trannies because they look for the most like gross +40yo out of shape balding men wearing wigs. I hate trannies because they think they can escape the undignified torment and horror of the human condition by switching reproductive parts. We are not the same.

So basicly, it's a decent enough survival horror game with an annoying troon fanbase and dickriders? Got it.

The main proof that this is a tranny game is that there's no dog type enemies. A real woman would have included some dog type enemies.

The main argument against this being a tranny game is that a real tranny would have the gameplay sense to have 90% of the encounters not consist of 1 enemy type (with different hp values).

You dislike Signalis because you hate trans people.

I dislike Signalis because its lazy association between GDR aesthetics and authoritarianism signal(i)s the shitty politics of the W*st G*rmoids that made it.
