tentacles

Darkest Dungeon

none. the whole point of Lovecraftian horror is the fact that it covers the effects of things that aren't entirely seen and can't be described. Videogames are literally incapable of separating cause and effect like this because you have to eventually kill whatever's attacking you.

AAAAAAAAHHHHHH NIGGERMAN SAVE MEEEEEEE!!!!!!

Lovecraftian horror is a subset of cosmic horror. There is a greater emphasis on humanity's insignigicance in the grand scheme of things.
>t didn't read call of cthulu
It reformed nearly instantly afterwords and wasn't harmed.

Original C'Thun is the best example of an Old One in video games because he was impossible to beat.

>seething brown "person"

Reminder that Edgar Allan Poe > Lovecraft

His racism was the only entertaining part in the books
What now, faggot? Defend your shitty author now

>I AM CTHULU THE ANCIENT EVEL AND YOU ALL GONNA DIE ETC ETC
>*ships crashes into leg*
>NOOOOOOOOOOO YOU CANT DO THIS NOOOO NIGGERMAN PLS HELP

reminder that they're not the same genre

>NOT MY HECKIN FACERINOOOO NOOOO

>wasn't harmed.
The boat went straight through his fucking head and split it in half, and then he just fucked off

I am a brown "person" and I like Lovecraft's works

I don't think it's very Lovecraftian to be able to beat up incomprehensible horrors with a cursed breaking wheel and win.

>There will never be a good Into the Nightlands vidya
Fuck lovecraft I want this.

The eldritch are highly vulnerable to plotshield devices such as FRIENDSHIP or IMAGINATION

I can't believe he said things like black people are dumb like omg i cant even

Call of Cthulhu.

Demons Souls*

I wish i hadn't belived this lie, i might have enjoyed the game more.

Are there any other good horror stuff besides those two?

Can you guys look after my Great One for a few minutes?

Eternal Darkness is the best Lovecraft game.
Prove me wrong.

What is this, i cant find it on google

They indeed aren't the same genre
Poe writes art, Lovecraft writes something indistinguishable from fanfiction
I fucking dare you Lovecraft defenders, I could pick certain parts from his writing, put it side by side with NARUTO FANFICTION, and ask you which one is which, you would get all of them wrong

You're great one is a failure, user.
Go ahead and do so.

>They indeed aren't the same genre
then why are you comparing them?
it's like star trek vs star wars

Clive Barker's Books of Blood is supposed to be pretty good.

Something that certainly inspired Lovecraft.

That's why she needs to be looked after.

darkest dungeon

Havent read lovecraft but i didnt feel dread while playing Bloodborne. You can kill great ones without much trouble, they dont seem all that scary or incomprehenisble when they can be killed like any other creature.
BB is good at ripping off horror aesthetics but it's not a good horror game.

Okay let's test this:

>“The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.”

>"Sasuke locked eyes with Naruto and he could see all of the passion burning in his eyes when he looked into them and saw his reflection within his eyes. They kissed eachother passoinately as Sakura cried in the corner like a dumb baby."

Which is which?

Yeah. The one thing it does do well though, is acknowledging that the Great Ones aren't just monsters. And that was enough to win me over. Its a shame that the gameplay demands big monster fights but its in the territory.

wow they're so similar I have no idea which is which, lovecraft really does suck

ITS A CAT IM LOSING MY MIND AAAAAAAAAAA OH GOD IM GOING INSANE AAAAAAAAAAaaaaa...

Don't bully Ebrietas.

>William Hope Hodgson
>good

>>"Sasuke locked eyes with Naruto and he could see all of the passion burning in his eyes when he looked into them and saw his reflection within his eyes. They kissed eachother passoinately as Sakura cried in the corner like a dumb baby."
lovecraft. that was a tough one though.

Unironically giygas from earthbound
>no known physical form, just a presence
>attacks can’t even be comprehended. Just does damage to you
>the visualization of the boss isn’t actually him, but is rather the negative sense of emotion from seeing the image
>protagonists have to leave their physical forms just to stand a chance against him
I think it’s one of the best visualizations of eldritch horror due to the simple fact that it’s not just darkness and tentacles

There is also something to said about their form and dimension. Not making excuses for them though, its definitely a bone headed concept to fight big roaring monsters.

niggerman

lol this niggaman can't comprehend the tentacles

It becomes a lot less eldritch when you realize that Earthbound is a sequel and that most of those really aren't true

It's cool if you don't get it user.

This shit isn't funny.
Some people have true form Chapodiphobia.

It wont have the same effect now as it did then but Bloodborne, people forget that it wasnt pitched as such a game and all that was shown was werewolves at most, no trailers showed it, it was never talked about in development and even the box does not show images of anything but werewolves, people thought it was something like a van helsing game where you hunt werewolves and monsters, not cosmic entities, the reveal in the game is fantastic, it doesnt have the same effect now because its common knowledge that this is what the game is.
>open new doorway in new area after defeating Rom
>shows the city, and you can now actually see the massive amygdalas that have been here the whole time just watching
>can hear crying in the distance constantly
>all the civilians are mutating, and inside the houses the people are a rambling mess and have gone mad
>enemies are distinctly more alien now in the proceeding zones and the areas are dreamscapes and nightmares
Neat.

True but that wasnt translated into gameplay. It's one thing to be told great ones are in another plane of existence and another to experience it in some way. I wish there was more stuff like brain of mensis. Just merely being seen by the brain inflicting frenzy was a brilliant idea.

Here's part of a line from both a Lovecraft story and a Naruto fanfiction.

>"He looked down."

>"He looked up."

I fucking dare you to tell which one is the Naruto fanfiction and which one is Lovecraft without Googling.

Robert E Howard wrote a ton of horror stuff
Ashton Clark

If you can't distinguish a fabled author from literal fanfiction through an entire paragraph, then I am sorry
Try pitching any paragraph from Poe against any Naruto fanfiction of your choice

the "attack can't be comprehended" thing was just a reference to his boss in Mother 1, also the reason you have to put your soul into robots is because the time machine would kill them in their normal bodies, not because they "couldn't stand a chance", he also does have a physical form, he just became so powerful it became warped beyond recognition
