What are your gaming plans for the end of October 2024? [Halloween, Sollemnitas Omnium Sanctorum, el Día de los Muertos etc.]

[Gandalf]

Have you got anything specific planned for this time of the year?

 

[Fargus]

Why do you wanna know?

 

[Necrensha]

I'm going to replay Pathologic 2 and perhaps save everybody this time.

 

[Gandalf]

Why do you wanna know?

I don't want to know. This thread is just a place for those who want to share their plans and eventually discuss the topic.

 

[Kabas]

Steam next fest might have been over but there is still a few thousand more demos left to try.

 

[Russia is over. The end.]

Western, particularly Anglo-Saxon pathological obsession with monsters and horror is a form of mild mental disorder. Slavs don't celebrate Halloween, don't rejoice at seeing dead things. Death is dirt.

 

[Falksi]

Definitely gonna get tucked into Ghouls n Ghosts Resurrection

I'm not far off finishing my PS4 backlog either, and I'm flying through those games as most are shite, so only getting a few hours out of me before being tossed aside.

• Finish the last missions of the Protoss campaign of the original StarCraft.
• Play the World Tour edition of Duke Nukem 3D which someone palmed off gifted to me.
• See whether Quake 2 is worth a damn.
• Check if Doom 3 has any redeeming qualities.

 

[Modron]

Finishing off a shit ton of next fest demos, then Drova and probably The World of Kungfu: Dragon and Eagle.

Yes, because slavic folklore clearly has no monsters or supernatural beings and occurances...
You fucking moron.

 

[NecroLord]

Check if Doom 3 has any redeeming qualities

Fuck yeah it has!
Once you reach the Delta Labs the game starts to get more Doom-like.

 

[asper]

Finishing Planescape Torment playthough
Finally playing "Alien: Isolation"
"The Crimson Diamond" to cool down after the horror, nice atmosphere

 

[deuxhero]

Halloween, Sollemnitas Omnium Sanctorum, el Día de los Muertos etc.

What about the PlayStation 2's 25th anniversary?

 

[Polvo]

With my personal list of games to play for Halloween finished, it's time to [not play any of them and] draw up the list for the incoming Christmas season!

 

[ghardy]

Check if Doom 3 has any redeeming qualities

Fuck yeah it has!
Once you reach the Delta Labs the game starts to get more Doom-like.

Yes, I've heard much about that segment in the game. I'm looking forward to it.

I'm going through Quake 4 presently, so when I play Doom 3, I'll have an interesting comparison.

Sure, why not?

[Dark Souls II]

I wanted to play Silent Hill 2 (the real thing, not the goymake), but my wife broke my controller with her fat ass.

Just carve the damn pumpkin and have some candy you butthead.

 

[luj1]

Will be playing the only true RPG, life on planet Earth

 

[KafkaBot]

No specific gaming-related plans, but I have been considering going through the Legacy of Kain games again, which kind of fits the spooky month, I guess.

Oh, and I also want to play Downfall, which I never really finished, despite loving The Cat Lady.

Man, I wish we had a genuinely scary horror RPG. Titles like Baroque and Fear and Hunger are more unsettling than scary; Bloodlines is a fucking classic with amazing atmosphere, but only the Ocean Hotel is genuinely spooky - and even then, you're never really threatened there. Amazing as it is, the whole segment is just a haunted house ride when you get down to it.

 

[Tehdagah]

Finishing the Halloween quests in Fortnite.

 

[Squidhead]

Dead by Daylight for the holiday event but it really sucks this year so who knows. Probably finish up NWN-Shadows of Undrentide

 

[Zed Duke of Banville]

 

[NecroLord]

In answer to Gandalf's original question, I do want to replay F.E.A.R. and its expansions - Extraction Point and Perseus Mandate, since it has been a really long time since I last played them.
Doom 3 is also on the list.
And THIEF!
Thief is actually a good game to play during the night and on Halloween.
