I like platformers, adventure games, and sometimes RPGs. Shooters can be fun, too, but I like them best when they add cool mechanics besides the shooting (like magic or telekinesis.) I'll dip into anything from stealth to survival horror if it looks cool enough, but I've never found a taste for full-on puzzle games like Osmos. I also suck at anything that requires practical physics. (World of Goo is endless suffering for me.)

My Steam name is feot269.

Sadface. Apparently I can not friend anybody, because we bought Binding of Isaac through Humblebundle, so we have to spend more money to be able to friend people. T_T I will try again when we have bought another game, but that won't be at least until next month.

I've never tried survival horror. Anything involving a lot of combat tends to be not my thing. I haven't heard of World of Goo!

Survival horror is less about combat and more about... surviving, generally. Something like Outlast has basically 0 combat, it's mostly stealth and running away or trying not to be caught and working out solutions to puzzles. I don't think there's anything where you have to spend money to friend people or if there is I've never heard of that. What sort of message are you getting when you try to do that? Can you post a screenshot?

The message I'm getting is just, "Your account does not meet the requirements to use this feature. Visit Steam Support for more information." And that page leads to this.

--Sneak

That's weird. But should stop when you purchase a game? Which I imagine will happen eventually. O_o

Definitely. Yeah, it's so random! If someone friends me, I can friend them back, I just can't initiate it right now. O_o

--Sneak

Go spend 5bux!

We shall... eventually. Not right now, though; I'm too busy having fun playing Binding of Isaac.

"I've never tried survival horror. Anything involving a lot of combat tends to be not my thing."

There are two very different perspectives on survival horror, with an awkward middle ground in between.

First you've got stuff like Resident Evil or The Suffering, where you're shooting monsters left and right. I like that, but it's probably not your thing. (The Suffering is my favorite game ever.)

Then in the middle there's stuff like Silent Hill, where you can kill the monsters, but it's clumsy and awkward and you're supposed to prefer running away. That kind of sucks, at least in my opinion (though you could argue that Fatal Frame found the best balancing point.)

And on the far end, you've got games where you can't do squat to fight back. All you can do is sneak around, and if the monsters see you, you'd better run like hell. A lot of horror fans claim this is "true" horror and everything else is just action. Amnesia is the most popular of the recent games in this style. (You could also make a case for Five Nights at Freddy's, but that veers pretty far from the usual gameplay style.)

As for World of Goo, it was an indie darling a while back. You connect goo balls to create structures, and other goo balls can travel across the limbs of those structures. The more goo balls reach the level exit without being used, the more points you earn. I often screwed up and made my structure collapse in a heap, wasting all the goo balls that went into building it.

Yeah, I enjoy watching other people play things like FNAF and Amnesia, but don't think I would like it very much myself. I would get too scared. I end up really enjoying RPGmaker horror games, because they tend to involve lots of puzzles and stuff too!

World of Goo sounds interesting! I might check it out.

--Sneak

State of decay is a survival horror! Killing is an option but likely to get you dead and once that person dies they are dead ingame forever. No reloading :( it's not too scary but I've had hair raising moments. And flounced over people death a lot.

Oh no! Foreverdeath in games would make me so sad! <.< I am such a wuss.

--Sneak

That's why I flounce a lot. Cause you can find ppl and build a community so if one does you just play a different one.

One time MY VERY FAVE managed to escape and outrun a hoard of zombies but her car rolled in the paddock so she was sneaking quietly towards home through bushes when the ground suddenly dropped into a cliff that she fell off and broke her leg - right in the middle of another zombie hoard. The pulled her in half :( got an achievement but I didn't touch the game for two months!

Oh nooooo! That's so awful! I would flounce too!

--Sneak

Insanenoodlyguy :)

I like TF2 but I haven't played in a while. Play lots of binding of issac actually but I'd still love to chat with anybody! Or maybe find somebody to do some saint's row multi with...

Sneak: I've always wanted to try TF2, but I suspect I would be very bad at it. T_T

Rogan: Oh my god, Binding of Isaac is so addictive. It is just what I needed tonight.

I'm trying to add you but it can't find you? :(

I sent you an invite. I guess my username is different than my login name?

Edit: Minstrelofmoria. Sorry, everybody.
