So does this game rely on heavy gore to synthetically create a scary atmosphere?

just saw the begining of some of the dlc and it was pretty nasty with that "sex change stuff".
To be honest I wasnt scared at all it was just pretty gross and I found it un-nessary.

Exactly. Games just give us jumpscare now-a-days, don't scare us anymore. (Remembers of Resident Evil 3, Silent Hill 2, Fatal Frame etc).

I beat the main game and the DLC and I can assure you that gore in Outlast is only accessory, if that's what you want to know. It's absolutely not the only source of fear in this game.

Fear in Outlast comes from the whole of the situation, not only from gory sights, although the gore adds to the dark atmosphere and shows you that you could be harmed at any moment.

From what you said, I take it the game is not for you, man. Try Amnesia: The Dark Descent over Outlast. It relies a lot less on gore and is one of the best horror games ever made.

Its ok deoxxy. most of these people make excuses for liking that scene. A psychologist would have a field day with them beacuse unstable people tend to be ok with that scene.

Ill probably still try this game I just wanted to get a grasp of what the communities' thoughts were.

Yeah I agree that the gore is a little unnecessary, they could have maybe hinted at what happened more subtlety and it would have been fine. But I think the developers may have been really trying to drive home how messed up the asylum is. Take every thing said in this discussion with a grain of salt. If you play the game and you end up not liking it, thats perfectly fine its not for you. All you need to remember is that is a game. Dont take it seriously.

I would be far more annoyed by jump scare spam than gore. Jump scares were probably cool for the first 5 minutes of Night of the Living Dead back in 1958 but ever since then they've been beat to death, dug up and beat to death more times than all the zombies in the universe. It's the absolute worst gimmick in the history of movies imo.

In fact, I won't even spend money on movies or games with jump scares anymore because it's such a boring, stupid, annoying, unoriginal hack manuver. The last game series I played with a jump scare was Dead Space and that game wasn't that bad about it actually which is probably one of the reasons it has a decent metascore.

Anyway, gore doesn't bother me because it's passive. Yeah it's overused but at least you can ignore it if need be. Jump scares on othe other hand are like some billy mays sh--head getting in your face and screaming at you to buy a shamwow and there's nothing you can do about it.

Of course they are @_@ I still play classic horror games, was playing the first silent hill a week ago on my PS1, it's still scary... So old games are old...ok...so new games are better? Just graphics man, almost all gmaes today only have graphics and nothing more to offer.
