Today on COG Considers, let's talk about how cyberpunk is basically horror in a sci-fi package, and that horror is starting to get a bit stale.
From the soul-driven music of RDR2 to the intense rock of Metal Gear: Rising, here are some of the hardest musical moments in gaming.
The last of us had few scenes (original not the sequel)
Both RDR games
Many moments in MGS series
Metal gear solid 1 when you take the elevator and Naomi call you and talk about gray fox
The all-new Everyone is Here Again Bundle packs roguelikes Risk of Rain 2, Dead Cells, and more. All told, you will get all five games for 51 percent off their normal prices.
The Xbox One is full of SPOOKS, and that's all you should know about. Here is a list of the best horror games on the system.
A lot of my favourites are on this list so I whole heartedly approve.
Everything except The Observer. It started out really interesting but quickly unraveled into a train wreck. Including frustratingly dull dives into mind sequences, They neutered the monster with boring on rail stealth sequences and a laughably obvious and cringeworthy ending. Mix in bugs and some wonky controls to boot.
I had really strong impressions with it to start but ended up absolutely hating it.
Soma would be more existential horror than anything but I'll be damned if it didn't have one of the best stories in game that I've experienced. Blew my mind.
A staple theme of cyberpunk is blurring the lines between man and machine. That concept is intrinsically tied to body horror. So if you don't like that aspect of cyberpunk you basically have an issue with the genre itself.
I'm just not sure if some of the articles are even serious anymore.
That’s one way of viewing the game...I guess
Does this person consider all body modification to be mutilation? Earrings? Circumcision? Plastic surgery?
What a stupid fucking headline. The loss of humanity as people replace more of themselves with machine is a DEFINING THEME of the Cyberpunk genre, one that has been used for both visceral and philosophical effect.
You might as well complain there's too much stabbing in Slasher films or too many tentacles in Lovecraftian horror while you're at it, ffs
