mod sort of when downhill when it gave you guns
should have been more like dear esther or something
I never found any of the guns to be that useful really, I used the axe almost the whole way through, but then all the time in garrysmod crowbarring zombie npcs did help.
But just because it's a horror mod doesn't mean it needs to be scary all the way through. I thought mixing up the pace and empowering the player toward the end was great. It makes it feel like you're drawing toward a conclusion and helps it wrap up so satisfyingly.
Damn Fileplanet is so slow.
I didn't really find the SMG all that useful. I found myself mainly using the axe and pistol, and at the end the shotgun because it was my "fuck shit up" gun.
once it gave you guns it felt like your standard fps game with some scares here and there
imho it would have been much better with less weapons/ammo
What suck with those kind of mod is that you can't play it again: you already know what will happen.
So you have to wait a couple of weeks/months/years to forget most of it, THEN you can play it again.
It would have been better with a different shotgun, I hate seeing the HL2 shotgun in mods because it doesn't make sense.
Shooting 2 shells out of a single barrel?
And The default reload animations and sounds are pretty bad, I liked the pistol a lot though.

I thought that it had a random scare generator? Like, you can't expect the same scares in the same places, but some new ones will show up?
the mod should have just had the axe, the pistol, and maybe the shotgun
and ammo should have been really rare, making conserving it important
Anyone has the link to the prequel?

Dude, how many times do we have to say it?
IT'S INCLUDED WITH NIGHTMARE HOUSE 2!
Just type in Console
Map (Name)
List:
nh2c1, nh2c2, nh2c3, nh2c4, nh2c5, nh2c6, nh2c7
nightmare_house1, nightmare_house2, and so forth.
It also includes the fixed new version.
nh1remake1_fixed.
The mod gets very cheesy as it closes in on the end and reminded me too much of F.E.A.R I also found my self yelling at the S.W.A.T half the time for their stupid comments along with Doc R.
Eh, personally I didn't find this scary, mostly because I was eating pancakes and yelling at everything (hunger makes me rage). although this mod has some good ideas.
And agreed with Fables, seemed like too much F.E.A.R.
This mod also leaves shit tons of questions and plot holes. It's clear the guys they sent in weren't actually S.W.A.T because they didn't even act like zombies were a surprise. Hell they even knew what was going on so this obviously must allow for sequels to this mod.
I have a feeling that the part with the mannikin's would probably scare my friend shitless, seeing that he has a fear of the things.
I just finished the game. Pretty good as far as mods go. It wasn't exactly scary to be honest. It reminded me of FEAR too much with the random spooky stuff. Just like FEAR, the first couple of times "spooked" me, but after that, not so much. Could just be me though.
[sp]I felt it began to repeat itself a bit too much. The part where you're trapped and the room gets smaller as you move around popped up three times and by the end I was expecting it every time I was in a vent or small enclosed space.[/sp]

Repeating scares isn't always a bad thing you know. Scare the shit out of the player once, then set up a very similar scare (or feign a scare) to give them horrible flashbacks. [sp]The shapeshifting vent did this to me bad, I was so goddamn paranoid that it was another shrinking hallway.[/sp]

Guess it's just me, but the vent scared/worked me up quite a bit. [sp]The prospect of another "shrinking hallway"-like encounter in such a tight space was more frightening than the actual vent itself.[/sp]

*Shiver* I was playing it for the first time last night, and when the thing started shrinking, I was a little creeped out... [sp]Then I looked up[/sp]: "OHWHATISTHATHOLYCRAPf"
I played this yesterday and I am so glad I played DURING THE DAY. I will have to try out NH1 also. I just have one request. Can anybody get some good screenshots of the boss battle? With NO hud? I want to make some wallpapers.
Man i played it, its awesome and really scary, in the first one and the remake, theres no scare, only action, but in the second one, damn i almost shit in my pants!
WARNING SPOILERS IN PICTURES!
Okay, here, I have some screens I took during the last level. Sorry but I forgot to turn on the anti-aliasing or whatever its called for the helicopter screens. I might redo them.

I blocked [sp]Romero at the ending by putting the bed in front of the only way up, along with some other shit. Anyway I destroy the giant orb thing and when I wait for him to come kill me himself, he doesn't show up. I can only assume he died, as the ending part where Emily kills him doesn't start, and im watching a broken orb and a bunch of shit behind bullet proof glass[/sp]

wow they are good. I couldn't use noclip for some reason even though I had sv_cheats 1 enabled. I just settled with stacking crates and getting up higher to get some screens of mine.

I just copy-pasted loads into Garrysmod and used Wegame to take the screens. Much easier, though now I have a few slight UI bugs.
I pissed my pants with HORROR.
So guys in a week or so I'm thinking about releasing all the design docs, development material, cut stuff like unused music and maps, old NH2 maps from old versions and so on, might as well do a developer commentary.
If there is demand of course.
yeeeeeeeeeeees please! I would love to see the models in Gmod and I love the music.
