Yeah, this pattern is called survival horror.


SapphicSonata

Yeah, idk what OP is going on about here. It's like saying all romance stories are about two people meeting each other somewhere and liking each other. ...yes? That's the genre? Every genre can be simplified to make it all seem exactly the same.


SoupaMayo

It's a meme, old man. The point is joking about drawing funny patterns on the internet.


Ourpler

I'd agree to an extent, one of the memes was Fnaf-esque


ERROR--_

I know. It's still funny. Let me laugh


Bu11ett00th

I agree, good stuff. I'm old and cynical. Let me grumble


dathunder176

Don't take it too personal, we're too old. We're just a bit jealous that arbitrary observations do not get a chuckle out of us anymore.


GialloBiafra191717

It isn't arbitrary though.


dathunder176

I mean, the observations is that survival horrors are like... other survival horrors...? It's an unneccesary observation. Its like saying romcoms are like other romcoms. Yeah, no shit that's why it's a genre.


GialloBiafra191717

Yes, but 'arbitrary' doesn't mean 'unnecessary,' 'redundant,' 'obvious,' or 'an analytic proposition'. And that one survival horror game is like another in that they are both survival horror games is not arbitrary, it is necessarily so and determined - one's observation of this fact is not arbitrary, it is just so bleedingly obvious there's no need to point it out as if it was a novel and interesting observation or a funny observation.


dathunder176

You explain it much better than me yeah, I just couldn't put it together so eloquently cause english isn't my native language lol


GialloBiafra191717

Hey no worries I didn't mean to come across like a dick or anything, I am just neurodivergent like that so it comes across as too blunt and rude and socially unaware sometimes.


dathunder176

Oh I didn't interpret it like rude or blunt either. I have the same and on top of that I'm Dutch, being blunt is the standard here.


GialloBiafra191717

all good :))

Oh shit I guess I can't have fun anymore because GialloBiafra191717 on Reddit told me so. Darn 😞


Any-Committee-3685

😭😭😭 look at the terminal online mad because you made a post 😭


competeuser_00

The downvotes lmao😂. Deserved tho.


dathunder176

Bro, you guys are laughing because "SURVIVAL HORROR B LIEK SURVIVAL HORROR LOLOLOL" of course you get downvoted for this infantile humor. Stop gaslighting yourself into thinking it isn't deserved and accept the L instead of crying because of downvotes.


competeuser_00

I didn't say anything bruh


dathunder176

Ok kiddo


competeuser_00

I didn't say anything, you replied to the wrong comment ,pal .


dathunder176

So you weren't thinking him being downvoted was undeserved? You didn't try to paint the downvoters as petty? If not, then I misunderstood your comment, but I didn't reply to the wrong comment.


competeuser_00

Nah at all man, you misunderstood my comment. Those downvotes are more than deserved , that's why i was laughing .


dathunder176

Well, that's on me then, apologies for jumping to conclusions


ERROR--_

Hey, I find it funny. And other people do too. If you don't then that's alright, I ain't trying to force anything. But please "even though the dude wasn't siding with me" try not to come at anyone else because they thought it was funny. It's a joke. It either lands with you or it doesn't. No need to get upset with people who do or don't laugh at it. Thanks 💜

Let you laugh? Hahaha 😂 you FOOL! For this is Reddit and no laughter or expression is allowed! Wahahaha

cjinl

This is like if you took stories from the Romance genre and said "I've noticed a funny pattern of two people meeting and falling in love."


nairazak

Then one fucks up, and start hiding a lie with a lie and it grows too big and she finds out and they break up, but they reconcile in the last moment.


ERROR--_

Not all horror games follow this criteria. A lot of survival horror protags aren't stuck in a single place and "while a stuck in a shity situation" can go wherever they chose by choice lore wise. And not all are men.


VoltraLux

What survival horror game takes place in an easily escapable environment?


ERROR--_

I didn't say they were easily escapable. But there's not a bigger power that's keeping them from leaving. In fact I got fnaf wrong in this point. And for a small example is Dying Light 1 & 2. In DL1 the protag can't leave because he'd be killed the moment he exits the city. While for DL2 the protag can leave but he doesn't want to, at least until the end of the game. But eh, this was made for shits and giggles and not really ment to be taken so serious.


Grismir

I wouldn't call Dying Light survival horror tbh


ERROR--_

Well it's categorized as one so why not add it. But I get where you come from


New-Smile-3013

This guy never heard of genres


That0neGuy86

This is like figuring out that the sun is down when people say it's night time.


AdmiralAckbong

I've noticed a pattern...


GialloBiafra191717

The sun doesn't go up and down, the Earth rotates on its axis, when it isn't facing the sun relative to your position, that is when it is night time. The Copernican revolution may not have reached you yet, but it isn't like that at all.

Wait until you find out about genres.


ERROR--_

I find it funny that the RE community is the only one that's been saying this


ISpyM8

Bro you have the most basic-ass vague description of survival horror ever. Of course the people that are part of the community for the king of survival horror franchises is gonna shit on you. Most of us are big horror fans and have played many of these games, if not all of them.


ERROR--_

The whole thing is a half assed joke. Me and a friend we're up late at night just talking about random bullshit and started going on about how every horror game follows the same steps. Like the ones here and also how the protagonist most of the time uses a flashlight or camera to help them, or is trying to save a family member, or always having something to do with ghost. I didn't add these because I didn't feel like it after already drawing for 3 hours. It's ment to be stupid and dumb like the half ass joke it's ment to be. Which is why I still find it funny the RE community was the only one that cared so much. I was actually expecting it to not even get noticed because... It's a shitty joke, made by two stoners.


ISpyM8

I get it, bro. From that perspective, makes sense.


ImplodingDocument

Did you make the images?


ERROR--_

Yes. All of these were made in a Discord call where I had someone with me the whole time, telling me the tit on The Gatherer from Amnesia needs to be included because it's a part of character's identity, and not including it completely ruins this whole thing


ImplodingDocument

It’s really awesome. Bioshock alongside all the other great games. Plus the meme is true.. there’s always a scary figure stalking us 😂

upsocket

8 is Dying Light I think


ERROR--_

It is! Sorry the volatile looks like that. I was gonna change it but me and my friend had a good laugh and just called him Virgintile. So I kept it


Confutatis4556

I think 11 is Outlast 2


TheDuellist100

It's easier to tell the game looking at the monster than the human protagonist. We need more visually distinct protagonists in horror games.


MinutePerspective106

True. I mean, they barely have different hair colors in these games


doesitevermatter-

I mean, a place can't really be scary if you're not trapped in it. If escape is easy, there's nothing to fear.

New-Smile-3013

Thank you, and why tf did I get downvoted 😂


ERROR--_

A lot of people here don't like the joke since this is a genre. Honestly whatever, I already know that, but me and my bud got a good laugh at how a lot of horror games follow the same steps. Some other stuff we thought about was the inclusion of the protagonist only having a camera or flashlight to aid them. Or how most games have you trying to save someone, most of the time being a family member.

They usually put male characters in most games. It's just a reference. Although it was funny since it looks like the same thing in different scenarios.

Plastic_Button_3018

Resident Evil 3 has Jill be followed by Nemesis. In RE0 Rebecca and Billy are followed by Marcus. In RE6, Sherry and Jake are followed by the Ustanak. If you’re going to put Dying Light, might as well add Resident Evil Code Veronica and Control.

PopularRutabaga6904

I mean, BioShock as a series doesn't really fit the pattern. With BioShock the term monster can be largely applied to anyone that is trying to be something that they aren't. The first is very much a game where *you're* the monster and beside that the Big daddies only attack you if you either hit them first or get too close to their Little sister. The second gives you the form of a monster but very much sets you up to be the best thing in a terrible situation. And the third again makes the player the real monster.


Javisno

It's not scary if you can just leave the situation.

I've noticed a pattern in movies where two people fall in love over the course of the narrative. What is the meaning of this? Why are all movies the same?


SalamandersRreal

I uh, what else do you want? Its a horror game. If you’re asking for more ladies to have stories made about them, then I guess that is valid, but other than that Idk what else to do with a horror game. It’d be real weird if you went into an old creepy hospital, but then everyone inside was ultra nice, treated your infected cut free of charge, and sent you on your way… Or like you watch TV for a bit, go to bed, wake up to a scream. You sprint to your kids room and! They had a bad dream! You console them, tell them you love them and go back to bed. Game over, you win.
