I think Russ actually hates escape room games but is just gaming the finish 52 challenge.

You might be a bit sick of them after 100 though.

Are you sick of iRacing after doing it for more than 60700 hours?

No, because I'm in a process of continual improvement. Also it's part social activity too.

I'm not convinced there are many situations where one ends up trapped in a cowboy lighthouse.

Ah yes, lighthouses, those well known things from the old west.

Because it's kind of putting me off wanting to either play these games, or post here.

So I mean, does this count as bullying...?

We hear enough about Myp's boring iRacing and he even made a thread about it, so don't worry about it!

j/k

If you think it does, it does.

Stop it, you cunts.

That's my parenting style, right there.

Russ - no malicious intent, just light amusement at the genre, not at you.

To be honest Russ, it's made me want to look into these games so keep it up!

I like those. What's the best one?

The ones with the sequels tend to be best in my opinion. Jail escape was very fun, as was Escape Rooms.

Is the first one free and the sequels paid for? That would explain why that is.

The answer to a lot of the games you play is "Mr Russell can"

16) Outlast 2 (PS4)

Absolutely beautiful art direction in places and has got to be one of the best looking games out there when you're not staring down a nightvision camera, which shows that the studio, Red Barrels, have barrels of talent (Ho Ho). But 90% of the time you'll be using the nightvision so all that talent has gone to waste.

I've got a lot of time for Outlast but this sequel pissed me off no end. It has a convoluted story told terribly with rubbish voice actors destroyed any immersion I had in the story. I was so mad that all the work on the graphics and world building could be undone just employing your mate to read some lines from a script typed by a twelve year old. Actually, I'd had enough of the body horror on show during my playthrough since it was overdone and could have been scaled back to give more impact. The setting of the original leant itself to this style of run and hideathon and Resi 7 has showed you can reduce the size of your play area and still retain the impact of the horror setting, but here the setting is a sprawling mess that you run through once and never return to so you don't have time to have a good game of hide and seek because you don't linger long enough to memorise the area and you'll mainly just be running through each area to the next.

I'm massively disappointed with this. Let's hope Red Barrels try something different on their next go around. They've certainly shown that they've got the ability to create a fascinating beautiful horror filled world now they just need to make a decent game in it.
