    Always kinda interesting to me how horror games can so quickly tip from scary into very, very annoying. The mechanics and scripted sequences are designed to create stress for the player, which is great as long as those mechanics play fair and stay engaging (eg. Dark Souls 'souls' mechanic) and if the scripted sequences can stay fresh during repetition somehow... If that isn't the case, however, the experience quickly becomes equivalent to being locked in a dentists waiting room filled with toddlers armed with airhorns. Fair dues to Ellen and Jane for getting through that.

    • @aquelegabriel
      @aquelegabriel Год назад +18

      I honestly think that horror games should "let you win" if you are stuck in sequences like those. Like, the "grab" part should just click even if you aren't pointing at the exact direction, or the game should give you extra momentum during the "pendulum" part, to avoid this problem.
      Because at the end you are no longer scared, just frustrated.
      It's different than, for example, alien isolation. You can stay stuck forever, but since the alien isn't exactly scripted, you are always scared, since you never know where it is and what it will do.
      You have to REALLY have confidence that your jump scare is very scary and works even if you know when and how it will happen.
      The game kills you a handful of times and then moves to the next "scare", so you are continuously scared and not frustrated

    • @ogmadigital677
      @ogmadigital677 Год назад +6

      @@aquelegabriel Well, there's the alternative solution, I guess, which is to *let you lose*. I'm thinking of Quantic Dreams and Supermassive games ("Heavy Rain" and "Until Dawn"), and Obscure and even ZombiU... and at the even more extreme end, XCom. Structure the narrative so it's about a location where a lot of people have disappeared (so you could be playing a variety of people in succession), maybe allow players to get stuck a couple of times in the sequences (so some explorers die), then fail forward to the explorers that made it past that area?
      I should say, I've played horror games that weren't scripted and that just became incredibly annoying (I'm looking at you, Power Drill Massacre and Helltown) - either the stress mechanics were super aggressive or unclear to the player.
      It's an odd one. You *do* want the player to engage with the experience, and to provide a challenging but accessible game... but how long do you lock them in the eel pit before you have to unlock the side door, help them out and hand them a towel and a satsuma? At that point you're conceding the horror didn't work, so where do you go from there?

    • @aquelegabriel
      @aquelegabriel Год назад +4

      @@ogmadigital677 yeah, this can work for some narratives, but it requires a lot of rewriting the game's story. Plus, at the end you don't let the players finish that sequence.
      Thinkering with one mechanic that doesn't affect the rest of the game is easier, and most games (horror or not) already do such a thing in one way or the other. Like the fact that usually enemies miss the first shot at you, or that in platforms they give the player time to "coyote jump", etc.
      It makes more sense to just "give the player a hand" without telling. The player feels good for finishing that, the game doesn't lose it's appeal, and the rewriting is none.

    • @WastedPo
      @WastedPo Год назад +12

      This reminds me of one of the best sequences in one of my favorite games, "Beyond Good and Evil." There's a sequence when the main character, Jade, is running across rooftops, being chased by a TON of bad guys. Even though at the time, it seems like the odds are against Jade, in retrospect you realize that the game makes it incredibly easy for you to succeed. Why? Because the game wanted you to be swept up in the excitement of the story. If they'd made it actually difficult, the player would've died multiple times, taking away from the adrenaline rush.

    I enjoy the escalation in chapter one, going from unsettling environmental cues and disturbing lore, to full-on flee-or-perish panic with little warning. It keeps things fresh without feeling tonally jarring somehow.
    It's a neat twist to have a Fear Academy where the 'observer' isn't completely familiar with the game, too - taking away the smidgeon of assurance that comes from knowing that your companion is prepared for upcoming shocks.

    Fun fact: all the blood you find in the factory with smashed toys is likely due to orphans having been involved in making them. There's also a good chance Poppy may've been an intern who wishes that she could be a toy. Either that or they're the former CEO's dead daughter who he did the toy experiments with seemingly to bring back to life. There's a maintenance tape for Poppy, and when taking out the voice box to fix it there is tons of flesh in her back. Also, Poppy's eyes are disturbingly like those of a person.
    Additionally huggy wuggy is pretty much certainly dead. The thing now is the experiment using Huggy's parts alongside those of of Mommy Long Legs and other toys you end up killing.

    I don't know if it needs to be said, but Ellen was supposed to hide in the ceiling, but I guess by desperately trying to force herself through the cobwebs she managed to avoid detection. Which is interesting because it means there WAS some sort of collision detection between the Player and Mommy, rather than it being a fail state.
    Anyway. Great video! I should really watch more of the Fear Academy videos.

    If Jane wants a spooky part of VtMB to play, I'd recommend the Hollywood level and following the main plot where you have to find the videos to lead you to what's causing the Nosferatu to be in hiding, it's story related so can't be missed and despite being a little more on the gory side of horror, still sufficiently creepy enough to evoke spooks.

  • @CodaBlairLucarioEmperor
    @CodaBlairLucarioEmperor Год назад +6

    I feel like I should mention something regarding Chapter 2's ending. Poppy is actually almost certainly not evil and probably one of the best toys in the factory. Originally it was Poppy actually finishing the heartfelt thing she was asking you about prior to getting caught by Mommy Longlegs. Essentially she told you about just how bad the factory is and asked you to trust her and help stop the actual evils within the factory like the experiment. At least early on when chapter 2 was out they had the audio files still in the game from this. They presumably changed the scene though because they realized that they were giving away way too much of the story. That's also why there's such a tonal dissonance in the final game between how Poppy had been acting and how she was acting now.
    I reallu dislike how they had done this. I get changing the scene because they realized that they said too much but I really dislike how in doing so they ruined the scene you have with Poppy. The scene showed Poppy as being really vulnerable and desperate which fits when you know she had been trapped in the factory unable to do anything about what's happening for so long. Not to mention the lore implications that Poppy was an intern named Stella who disliked being an adult and so wished that she could be a toy and make children happy and presumably volunteered for some of the experiments with making sentient toys which also caused all of those orphans to get adopted and made into the toys. Poppy is honestly probably the saddest character in the game from what we know and presumably feels responsible for everything that happened at ten factory.
    Edit: I realized watching the end, and then got pointed out to me again, that there's a good chance that Poppy may have been possessed somehow, brainwashed, or even replaced altogether during the time that Mommy Longlegs had her. During the end section, in addition to how the wasy she is talking is completely different and seems much more forced, somebody pointed out to me that her eyes are also different. So it may not have just been changed because they gave too much story stuff away, but also to introduce a new plot point they thought of.

    • @andrewreid4320
      @andrewreid4320 Год назад +1

      I would mostly agree with you, but another RUclipsr also pointed out Poppy’s eyes in the beginning vs. the end of the game. In the beginning, they are mostly white with black pupils, and at the end, they are mostly black with yellow pupils.
      So, while it’s probably mostly them not wanting her to reveal too much yet, I could also see them adding lore reasons for Poppy to be acting so differently.
      After all, she was completely separated from the rest of the toys. And she was with Mommy Long Legs for a long time, and we don’t know what happened while we couldn’t see her.
      Maybe we’ll find out in Chapter 3…

      I can definitely see a difference in her mannerisms and tone...I don't think she was truly good to begin with (which explains why she was stuffed in that case). If she started out by being evil, the main character wouldn't have followed her request originally; perhaps she's the scheming evil while the others have gone absolutely mental and lost everything except the instinctual evil.
