Why do people keep using this hack as their "inspiration"? to be honest it just feels so cheap these days, oh, need a plot? its the ancient ones OoOoOo. scary isnt it? oh, also dont forget to add the spooky octopus, those are scary aswell.
Fuck this hack and every "game" that use him as a source material
Based also the answer is anglos

>I-IS THAT A GOOMBA WEARING SUNGLASSES?!?!?!?!
>HOLY SHITU THE UNIMAGINABRE HORROR!!!
Nice to know you have never read a single one of his works.
Guys... I'm fucking going insane.
>they're not the smartest bunch
Yet it seems they live inside your head rent free, basedboy
>indescribable things that seem familiar but are absolutely not and give you a growing sense of unease can't be depict-
all of them except deep ones

He's based because he's making dicklet lefties mad even to this day. nigger
Why do you feel compelled to post shitty unfunny memes just to be a contrarian?
That black thing looks kinda like a monkey. It's a cool picture showing the concept of indescribable but I don't find it creepy or unsettling at all. It's just a random mess
>retarded zoomers who can't play games that have more than 1 button and who have never read a book in their lives trying to disparage one of the most influential writers of horror
not going to lie; pretty funny. You unfunny faggots should stick to posting wojacks and killing Yas Forums more
bro they’re scary because u can’t imagine them haha aaaaaaaaaa I’m scared rn!!
SAVE ME NIGGERMAN
lefty here but not a dicklet or mad. Only lunatics can't disassociate a person's beliefs from their art, and only retarded lunatics hold past generations to some weird modern moral standard.
I read one of his books, it sucked
Based
AHHH FUUUUCKK! A NIGGER!!! MY SANITY!! NOOOO!!! AAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!
Neat setting is about it. His writing isn't that great but one thing I really liked was his detailed faux history and geography. Inventing a real sounding river, town names, going into frankly unnecessary detail in these areas is a nice touch that reminded me a little of how tolkein will have like four pages dedicated to the exact kind of comb frodo used on his pubes that morning
HP Lovecraft is based. Retard zoomers don’t get his books
hey Yas Forums check this out!
>contrarian
But its true, friend, he is a hack
>OOOO i cant imagine this thing, so scaryyyy aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
jus a lil pinch a de corona
>Skinny, sickly, weird/most definitely autistic, socially isolated incel who didn't lose his virginity until he was like 35 and hated black people
This guy was Yas Forums personified.
>implying they ever read one and didn't just play some shitty game based loosely on his mythos
Lovecraft himself acknowledged that much of what he wrote is pure shit. He wrote a lot of texts without care to be published in crappy magazines.
Anyway, some of the things he wrote are good, but they will never work in other media.
AHHHHHHHH NIGGERMAN, SAVE ME!!!!!!
That’s what true horror is. Unimaginable fear and shit that people can’t comprehend. Fear of the unknown is the ultimate fear and what’s HP Lovecraft does in his books perfectly.
>he lost his virginity before dying
nothing like Yas Forums at all, sorry.
I think op is mad that any hack fraud trying to do horror just says they are "inspired" by HP Lovecraft and throw some octopus in there too, not about the writer or the books themselfs. If he wasn't drowning in his autistic rage I'm sure he'd explain it better. But maybe I'm just giving him too much credit
You haven't even read a single book in your life, have you?
>OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO i'm so scared
>idk what i'm afraid of but i'm sure as hell i'm scared
This is just dumb
Is that magenta?
IM GOOING CRAZY, MY MIND CAND UNDERSTAND SUCH A STRANGE COLOUR, HELP ME NIGGERMAN
Anime is the only medium to achieve true lovecraftian vision
very true
IS THAT
A SQUID??
AAA AAA AAAAAAAAAH IM GOINGGGGG INSAAAAAANE AAAAAAAAAA
HELP ME NIGGERMAN
Well my point is, MOST games these days use him as some sort of influence, every hack that is trying to reinvent the fucking wheel puts the spooky mythos reference in one of their games, it just gets boring once you start seeing the same shitty tentacles over and over again.
Fear of the unknown is what scares people the most. Just because you’re being a contrarian faggot doesn’t change that.
You're the kind of guy who thinks the true ending of Bloodborne is you turn into a slug.
Except its not a squid moron.
STOP MAKING THIS THREAD
>OH NO HIS PARENTS NAMED HIS CAT NIGGERMAN EVERYONE MUST BE RACIST BECAUSE THEY LIKE LOVECRAFT
FUCK OFF. THE LORE IS WELL WRITTEN.
>oh yeah user i'm so scared of shit idk
yeah, right
Game bad meansInfluence is bad
right
Most of them.
t. city dweller
You think i give a fuck he hated black people? i couldnt care less about that, all i'm saying is that he is a hack, and that people should stop using his garbage
I assume you're not afraid of death then?
Shut up nigger.
You're a hack
I fucking hate how everyone equates Lovecraftian=aquatic/tentacles when the vast majority doesn't even give a single fuck about that shit
Oh its you again.
b t f o
They don't care to know anything. I used to be apart of a Lovecraft facebook group and all fucking day it was
>cat name
>racism bad
All fucking day long. This idiot is no different.
Ok, which well-known "Lovecraftian" games are you seething about?
There is Bloodborne and what else? Eternal Darkness is older than most people here. I know quite a few more, but COCDCoE, Darkness Within, Sunless Sea, Penumbra and so on are all really fucking niche.
What the fuck is your problem?
>someone asks why something is
>explain it
>UH OH RENT FREE
example 1: Yas Forumsyp logic
Because he was slightly racist, I just wish he was more so. I support racism and condemn faggotry, deal with it.
He's subverting a niche fandom that is constantly bombasted for liking a guy with bad social views. Hes super original and cool.
there are bits and pieces of Lovecraft in every other fantasy game and lots of sci-fi ones
AHHHHHH HELP ME NIGGERMAN AHHHHH
so ignore anything using his stuff you massive faggot. let other people enjoy what they want
Its almost like it used universal sci fi themes. Like half of Lovecraft's literature is sci fi.
>Fuck this hack and every "game" that use him as a source material
But they dont use him as source material. Giant tentacle monsters is not lovecraftian.
I got his complete works recently because it was on sale, here are some thoughts despite not reading all of it yet.
Lovecraft is VERY good at writing suspense, that's probably the thing he's best at, strangely to the point that it feels like he uses it as a crutch because the actual stories feel a little wanting. As an example The Beast in the Cave has really good descriptions of a somber acceptance of dieing alone in a cave only to be driven to a sudden adrenaline fueled panic when the protagonist realizes he isn't alone, but the whole thing was ruined for me when the ending was literally "The monster was a big fucking monkey the whole time, but it wasn't, it was a man!!!" (he did actually write it with three exclamation marks and in bold lol). Granted that was a very early story of his but I think that it highlights issues with what he goes on to write. What a lot of videogames fail to understand is that it wasn't these terrible things that Lovecraft wrote about that were scary, but what we didn't know about them, like in Dagon it isn't scary that the protag was taken to Dagon, it was scary because this world you felt like you knew and was predictable was suddenly up heaved in such a terrifyingly unexpected way that in your home you feel unsafe now. Like shit, if you go to cthulu's house and just see him chilling you understand more about him and that makes him inherently less scary, when you don't know why things are happening, what to do about them, or even any somewhat related information about it that's what's scary.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that when a raccoon is making a lot of noise in the dumpster at 2 AM the approach is a lot more scarier that actually seeing the thing. Fuck WoW for actually going to nazjatar and nyalotha.
YOU FOOL WARREN IS DEAD
>muh controversy
He was actually very sociable, he was good Friends with Carl Jung and Robert E Howard, and both their novels sometimes had crossovers.
He wasn't isolated either, he was actually much more of an outsdoor person who hiked and camped out a lot. That's why a good ammount of his characters are explorers or investigators.
People don't know much about HP HP Lovecraft, his books, or even the actual cthulhu mythos. The books often emphasize that a good ammount of the "monsters" and settings aren't even real and it's just unreliable narrators going coo coo.
Lol how do people fall for any of this disingenuous bologna.
Tentacles only comes to mind because it's nice and simple. You can't market Eldritch to the masses if it's hard to comprehend or requires actual imagination.
Go massage your balls till they drop bruh.
It's obvious bait, you fucking retards.
>Tons of generic, uninspired zombie/ghost/skeleton games
>Maybe like 4 Lovecraft inspired games

NIGGERMAN
NIGGERMAN RETURNS
NIGGERMAN 3
NIGGERMAN THE NIGGERMAN CHRONICLES
NIGGERMAN REMAKE
The aesthetic is kinda cool and that's what people are usually aping instead of anything specific from his stories.
it's just sóyboys pretending it's scary because reddit told them
Yea probably, but it's working because i'm constantly sad that there is NOT ever another game like ED coming out.
Smash bros ultimate
Persona 5
Titanfall 2
>i-is that a... a.... a.... WELSHMAN?!!
>SAVE ME NIGGERMAN, I'M GOING INSAAAAANNEEEEEEEEEEEEE
as a sidenote I actually think he's a great writer and his stories are worth reading
because gamedevs are uncultured, soulless autists who only ever read that incel and similar pop/horror garbage. Lovelesscraft is probably the most high brow author they've ever read. It's the sole reason why video games aren't taken seriously as an art form yet. The gamedev industry (even the indie scene) only seems to attract designer autists/furries and really smart but uninspired programmers. Earthbound is one of the few games that get essay after essay praising their artistic merit, and guess what: it was directed by an actual writer instead of a gamedev
