(And now imej don’t work. This mixed with the inconsistent schedule, it’s like everything abut SWERY bulan is fucking cursed. But it wouldn’t be truly SWERY related if there wasn’t a few technical hiccups here and there)
Oh man, it’s the game I was the most excited to talk about on here. I’m gonna level with you, everyone. When I played through Deadly Premonition, I didn’t get the appeal at first. I just thought it was a weird game with some charming dialogue and a decent setting. I was not super impressed with it like everyone else was. Sure, I grew on it eventually, obviously I’m passionate about it now, but I didn’t really think much of SWERY65. I just thought he was a westaboo who could make something decent with a low budget. That was until I got to this game. This game, I consider to be SWERY’s magnum opus. Truly his best work, despite it not really being looked into as much as Deadly Premonition. And that game is The Missing: J.J. MacField and the Island of Memories. But, for the sake of getting this artikel done some time this evening, I’m gonna stick with The Missing.
So I’m going to tell anda right now, this game deals with very heavy topics. Like, shockingly heavy for a game sejak a man whose claim to fame was weird facial expressions, talk of coffee and fucking sandwiches. Yes, this is going to obtain some heavy topics about sexuality and all that, so keep that in mind as I discuss this game. The game follows a college girl named J.J. MacField, on a trip on an island off the coast of Maryland with her friend, Emily. But after Emily goes missing, strange things start to happen, like the island having all sorts of strange areas surrounding it like diners and churches, and everything is hellbent on killing J.J.. Not just killing, but completely dismembering, breaking her bones, setting her on fire, and more. But the strangeness doesn’t stop there, as J.J. is incapable of dying. When she is burned, she comes back, just burnt to a crisp. When her neck is broken, she shambles back and forth. And when she is dismembered to pieces, she can roll her head around to continue moving. So the premise is simple. J.J. can survive the worst things that happen to her and she needs to use that to solve puzzles and find her friend Emily. It’s something anda would think would wear off from the strangeness after a while, but it somehow manages to stay both weird and just uncomfortable.
I won’t tell anda that the game is a traditional kind of horror game. It doesn’t try to scare anda outright. It’s a game that tries to make anda uncomfortable. And I always say that a good horror game always leaves anda uncomfortable. And The Missing does this through it’s puzzle solving mechanics. In order to solve puzzles like lowering a broken elevator, anda need to add weight to it, like letting your limbs get chopped off so anda can throw them up there to bring it down. In order to break a weakened wall, anda need to let yourself get smashed with a wrecking ball and get sent flying through it, breaking your spine and the dinding in the process. Need to burn down a pokok to get past it? Just set yourself on api, kebakaran and burn it down. I won’t lie and say that Deadly Premonition was a horror game. Same for DP2. Those were not horror games. They had their moments, but they were lebih thrillers than anything. The same way some people would argue that Seven atau Silence of the Lambs aren’t horror films. But The Missing, I truly believe is a horror game for how it constantly makes anda uncomfortable. The way J.J.’s body breaks, leaving her groaning in pain. Hearing how she screams when she’s on api, kebakaran and running down the path in absolute agony. And when she’s hoping with one broken leg, only for her good leg to give out and her body to crumble with the sounds of bone snapping. It’s fucking sickening, but it works well in a way. I’d say it’s the most graphic depiction of gore in a game despite it not having much blood. The screen blacks out J.J.’s body every time she’s injured, so anda don’t really see the gorey detail, and I think that makes it all the lebih unsettling. If anda want to know the kind of puzzle game this is, think Limbo but with lebih balls. The same way anda gain momentum from running to do a jump with the slow platformer with physics in it as well. That’s a good comparison I think.
But the game isn’t all doom and gloom, as anda have plenty of phone messages with your friends. Friends like a rocker girl who is way too cool for school and likes her nose piercing because her parents just don’t understand, her professor who is trying to be professional but is actually a huge bintang Wars nerd, and F.K….. hoo boy. Don’t worry, he’s friendly. And also a stuffed doll for some reason. anda also get really, really uncomfortable conversations between J.J. and her mother, which, um… Let’s just say that this can get to some uncomfortably real territory. I think a lot of people have been in the same situation that J.J. was in, where the person anda are is considered wrong and abnormal, and that they need help, when there is nothing wrong with that. I think what I Cinta about The Missing the most is that it does not hesitate to tell anda the dark parts of sexuality. Yes, it’s good to be who anda are without feeling down, but while I would Cinta to tell anda that everyone will accept you, that would be a lie. Guess what, being gay is not easy. It’s perfectly fine, but it’s not easy. Why would anyone want to be something that people hate, that people think is just wrong? I and many others know that being gay is alright, but not everyone will have that same thoughts and feelings. Even those close to anda may consider anda wrong in the head for feeling this way, and it’s a stigma that is still present even to this day. I won’t go into major details, since that would spoil this game for anda and I would rather anda play this game and experience the game for yourself, but… it’s not easy, it never is, and anyone that tells anda that being who anda are is easy has never known what it’s like. It’s hard to tell those that don’t like it how anda truly are. Do anda tell them and accept the possible judgement atau do anda bottle it up and keep it buried inside? The Missing isn’t afraid to acknowledge these darker aspects of sexuality and the struggles that come from it. Family issues, psychological trauma, and even suicide. Like I said, The Missing is a game that is not meant to make anda comfortable, and horror should not do that. And it’s why I think the Missing is a great horror game.
But like I said, this game has a strange sense of humor to it as well. The characters always text anda about their own issues in life like being called a trouble maker for their fashion and sticking up for those that can’t fight back, people dealing with their dreams just being out of reach, and then some. The text messages can bring a bit of nausea with how they're written, dare I say, cringe, but they’re nice. There’s also the game's strange collection items, being donuts. Collecting enough of them unlocks costumes and concept art and lebih collectables, which anda can activate immediately from the pause menu. I Cinta this little feature and wish lebih games did it. I know concept art is a worthless feature in today’s gaming market, but the fact that it can be accessed through the pause menu rather than quitting back to the menu is a nice feature that I wish lebih games would try. But of course, this is a SWERY game, so not only is it weird, it’s also atmospheric as fuck. Full papar of city landscapes across an evening sky, a makan, kantin with a single jazz song and a faint neon sign from the outside, a dark forest with the faintest of music, it’s all such stylish. I think this is when SWERY’s Cinta for American culture really peeked, menunjukkan off the different settings for a coast town setting like Maryland. It gives off this comforting feeling between puzzle locations before your thrusted back into cutting off your arms and setting yourself on api, kebakaran to continue forward, a calm before the madness, if anda will.
I could go on and on about the game's story, about it’s clever visuals and puzzles, about it’s amazingly paced story that genuinely had me gripped from start to finish, but I would rather anda all play it for yourself. It’s one of the reasons I choose not to say more. I only wanted to interest anda all enough to play it for yourself. That plus there isn’t much to say. The game is relatively short, much shorter than Deadly Premonition, only about five hours, but it is an eventful five hours. anda can buy the game on Playstation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch apparently, and Steam for $30. I know some may say that price is too much for what you're getting, but I’d argue that it’s well worth it for the experience that it comes with. And honestly, with games rumored to be priced $70 now, anda could be doing so much worse than this. I mean, anda could be buying Last of Us 2. Yeah, I think I’ll spend $30 for a better representation of gay culture, thank you

Man, I am just pumping these artikel-artikel out today. Must be that sweatshop ambition. I don’t have a lot of arcade games that I am super fond of. Not that I hate them atau anything, it’s just that most of my experiences in arcades were playing the original Mortal Kombat, jalan Fighter II and Third Strike, and Tekken 3. So yeah, most of them were just fighting games. Those joysticks just work so well with fighting games. But one arcade game that caught my interest was one game sejak Sega, known as Crazy Taxi.
Okay, first off, I never actually got the chance to play Crazy Taxi in arcades. I...
