I need a noose.
Konami are a bunch of fucking morons.

Mat Cauthon · April 26, 2015, 10:15:21 AM

After the PT hype?
I've no interest in the series, but that seems like a very silly move to make.

Big Boss · April 26, 2015, 10:16:48 AM

What the fuck is it lately with developers and fucking themselves in the ass with a nuke?

All that shit with Bungie firing Marty then going to shit, now Konami and Kojima?

FFS Konami.

Mattie G Indahouse · April 26, 2015, 11:28:21 AM

Well the good news is that Mad Max is still coming out.

Girl of Mystery · April 26, 2015, 11:29:59 AM

For fuck sake. The only horror game that actually interested me, and it gets cancelled.

Big Boss · April 26, 2015, 11:32:11 AM

Konami is about as smart as Harry.

Kitsune 狐 · April 26, 2015, 12:12:49 PM

What?! NO!

Ushan · April 26, 2015, 04:49:50 PM

Well, it's a shame, seeing as how that game seemed legitimately frightening.

Verbatim · April 26, 2015, 10:49:22 PM

or i'm literally smart enough to realize that fear is a negative emotion, and that experiencing negative emotions necessitates a negative experience

AKA a bad one
AKA not a good one
AKA not something i want to have

Verbatim · April 26, 2015, 10:50:16 PM

AKA not something any intelligent human being would ever rationally want to have under any real circumstance

and i don't even scare easily lol
just the principle alone of wanting to scare yourself sounds half-shy of retarded to me

A video game isn't a "real circumstance" though.

I'd understand if you had a health issue which prohibits you from playing but other than that it's just thrill. Some people have fun with those sorts of things. Much like a Roller Coaster. There's no point to it, other than it being there for shits and giggles.

That's why I used thrill instead. It seems to make more sense.

As for why people would want to? Maybe they just find that sort of thing fun.

Well why would you go play a video game if your intention is not to have fun?

I'm just saying that there's different strokes for different folks.

I'll jump on the bandwagon with you on this one and back that. There's no such thing as a fake emotional stimulous. If you're crying over a good or loved character dying in a game you enjoy, that's real.

If you're getting all pissy over 420 quckscopers and shit teammates in cod and battlefield, it's real. Those emotional responses and feelings are, very real.

The same as tension and fear, anxiety, and so on.

and i'm saying that doesn't help me understand at all why someone would find the "thrill" of being scared fun

i'm not one to just accept anti-conversational platitudes like "different strokes"
that doesn't mean anything to me--because clearly i'm aware of it

now i wanna get to the bottom of it

Probably something to do with how people cope with those sort of feelings. Much like how some people start to laugh when they feel pain where as others don't.

Verbatim · April 27, 2015, 12:35:11 AM

i don't know too many people who laugh when they feel pain <_<

and by too many, i mean... at all

i don't really know what you're talking about

Fear could also be a challenge. Maybe it's not the thrill and rush, but it's the calming of one's head. Sort of like a gamble. Remember the many sides to the emotional spectrum. Some people, in the face of fear, will fight it. Some will flee.

I remember playing through the first dead space. And the second. I wasn't playing it for the rush of being spooked. But once I started playing it, got sucked along into the story and universe, the obstacles presented led me do some thinking. AKA,

"I can do this."
