Again, it’s the only part of the story even remotely worth caring about, but it has no purpose within the context of the story. Hey, about Jessica, actually what is her goddamn purpose in the story? To give Blake a reason to keep finding Lynn? To give Blake a self-redemption by realizing what had happened that day wasn’t his fault? Genuinely, it’s the most interesting part of the game and they’re held in half-assed flashbacks and it’s still felt like it was done for the purpose of shock value, which is only supported when we find out that there are unused voice samples in the game files where Loutermilch rapes Jessica. How? Lynn dies after giving birth to a fake baby, and then a giant radio tower malfunctioned, explodes, and Blake sees that as the sun engulfing him before his final memory with Jessica. God, and what about the ending? So, I’m sure Red Barrels wanted to avoid the “main character dies” ending they disappointed the fans with in the first game, but didn’t want a happy ending, so they just went in the middle. This happened more the later into the game, which only furthered my frustration by the end. God, speaking of the Gameplay, my biggest gripe is honestly the “well, no shit” moments where I’m running aimlessly to find the next area, only to stumble across the exit by complete accident when it was right in front of me. Marta is just a pain in the ass because of inconvenience, where she kills Ethan, one of the few characters actually memorable in this game, and then sporadically appears in simple puzzles until her laughable death at the end of the game. This is all before they’re accidentally killed when Blake is climbing down a fucking rope. From Nick and Laird to Marta, the former has an entire chapter dedicated to themselves in a town riddled by Syphillis because of Knoth’s orgies (Knoth’s himself isn’t affected by it thanks to his followers stealing him Penicillin), and they crucify and bury Bury Blake alive like Jesus, only for Blake to easily, EASILY mind you escape. You know what? It’s not just the major antagonists that piss me off with their little purpose, it’s also the minor ones. Whether he believes this facade because of the Murkoff lights or not is beyond me, but it should be noted that he’s the most interesting character outside of Blake and Jessica. I understand that a lot his character comes from the notes, which actually reveals a twisted motherfucker who rapes women and kills the children in the name of “preventing the anti-Christ”. Speaking of Knoth, he too only gets two scenes, once as he tortures and kills two people, and secondly at the end of the game where he kills himself. Val, the leader, is only seen twice in the game, first in their introduction scene, and later as they chase Blake in the mines and rapes him, only to be killed by Knoth’s cult. It’s a wild goose chase to find Lynn who’s been captured by Heretics that only get minimal screentime. While the game is slightly better in retrospect, it still sucks. It's bad and there is no excuse for that.Okay, before my ramble I’ll preface with the fact that this is my second time playing the game since launch year, where I played and beat the game with utter frustration by the end and only liking a small portion of what it had to offer.
Basically: By playing the game you won't get everything. You even said it yourself "at first was bad".
The storytelling of this game is just garbage. The story actually quite interesting once you get it It's not about being lazy or being too stupid to get the story, get that crap out of here.
Aaand some people are just complaining but they're actually " lol this game sucks because i don't get the story and i'm too lazy for understanding". Outlast 1 was scarier, but the following game was still the better one.
To be honest, I like psyche-horror a lot more and Outlast 2 did a great job with the flashback that Blake had. I guess that too many people only concentrate on jumpscares or any other scary things and that's why most of the people are disappointed of Outlast 2. It is also the setting/story that matters, and Outlast 2 was way better than the first Outlast in terms of story etc. Originally posted by Leo cs.money:In my opinion, the first Outlast was the scarier one, but I think the "horrorfactor" does not make a game good.
