If a game had a Lovecraftian setting, what creatures or gods would you want to fight?
>Lovecraftian
>Fight
This question is self contradictory. A truly lovecraftian monster would be so far beyond you that trying to fight it would be like an individual germ trying to fight you
Yes we get it lovecraft's mythos is supposed to be impossible and existential we know
But its also great fantasy that games never really tap into unless they're shitty horror games
Now play along
>existentialism
Pseuds who don't know shit should get banned on sight.
Lovecrafts work is literally built on concepts of existentialism, it builds on "making humanity feel insignificant", relax
>We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity..
>but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age
If you guys are gonna get pissy about all of this then just dont participate in the thread jesus christ
he won
>OH NO I LOOKED AT A GIANT FISH MAN IM GOING INSANE
guess u should go then
The entire point of the mythos is the gods being so above you that the only reason you're alive is that you're not worth their attention for the instant they would require to crush you. The best thing (You) could hope to beat is some cultists and maybe a random shoggoth as a final boss, but that would probably feel pretty generic.
If you really want to fight the gods themselves, you'd have to do something like Black Souls, where for whatever reason you're interesting enough for them to fight over, with the gods having to use proxies to lower themselves to your level and avoid accidentally obliterating you.
Yes, I know thats the point of the mythos
However, making players themselves into gods to fight cosmic beings is also sick
Circumventing limits and boundaries in games is what makes stuff more exciting and memorable
That's not the point of a lovecraftian setting though. It's like asking if a game had a star wars setting what backwater 1950's tech analogue planet that wasn't involved in the war would you want to spend your days on?
>thats not the point
its not meant to be the point
it just uses the setting, not the entire story
But he said gods or monsters not gods
you just want to fedora tip like every other doomer
>gay existentialism
Shut the frick up.
yeah like jrpg's have you fighting literal gods is any fricking different
frick off
I don’t play Jrpgs, and lovecraft’s works as well as cosmic horror in general is about hopeless in the face of a threat so powerful any attempt at stopping it would not only fail but not even be noticed by the thing they’re trying to stop. Having a feel good good guys win ending is a complete inversion of lovecraft’s philosophy
Who are you to imply humans are fighting them? How do you not know some game wouldn't revolve around eldritch-god infighting?
Shut the frick up and participate in the discussion
I didn't say that, i said existentialism has no place in this discussion. It's a term that really doesn't apply to lovecraft(you have to really push it and stretch definitions). I like the idea of eldritch infighting.
Reality being shaped as the eldritch fight sounds pretty cool.
yes it's different. it's not lovecraftian.
Just give the protag god powers if you believe in that power-scaling nonsense.
Will this be the plot of Doom 6?
probably not Doom Slayer gets sealed back into his tomb from Doom 2016 at the end of the last Eternal DLC
Couldn't you just have the monster be something like a moving skybox while the actual fight occurs between you and its eyes/limbs/spawn? How about being stuck inside some dark abyss and having to fend off its limbs? Things like this should be a great way to instill that helplessness in the face of overwhelming power you would feel upon coming face to face with these horrors.
This, fighting games do not really suit lovecraft well. Detective games/puzzle games might be better
Every thread. Frick off, love craft is only used for aesthetics now.
so the dunwich horror must not be lovecraftian then since they beat him. Damn anon you know lovecraft better than lovecraft himself.
>no fun
Anyway op, I want to fight someone like nyarlethothep
I’d imagine the fighting arena as a genjutsu type of shit with an insanity meter or something
Umm sweetie the original story has a manly sailor drive a boat into Cthulhu to stop him.
>meme parroted by people who never actually read lovecraft
>would be like an individual germ trying to fight you
a random strand of RNA encased in a protein shell that came from a pig shut the whole fricking world down for two years. And another aspirant is trying to now.
if I had a shotgun, I could probably take on a Mi-Go
You would go insane first though
giant bugs are too scary
rean't they plants?
More like crab-fungi really.
yeah they are but they always looked like giant flys to me
No, those are the Old Ones.
Not true at all plus you could fight cultists even
You never read a lovecraft story, moron.
you never read one.
its not Conan the Barbarian. Even if they do fight a monster once in a while its very seldom and never the main focus of the story.
but the post implied there was zero fighting
must be a canadian then
>uppercuts the literal beating heart of the world
Nothing personal, Ancestor
It's always funny seeing people scream about lovecraft despite obviously not even touching his works. I bet you're the kind of moron that thinks having aliens in your game makes it lovecraftian.
I don't care what indescribable horrors I face. I don't care how outmatched I am. I don't care how much my mind aches from looking at it. I don't care how gargantuan it is. I don't care how many tentacles it has. I don't care I can't find Black personman to save me. I will continue fighting against any horror as long as there is breath in my lungs.
FRICK YOU AND FRICK YOUR MARKER

>understands universe-conquering alien god beyond comprehension
>DOESN'T want to pick a fight with it
Ganker is gayer than usual today
if you understood it you wouldn't want to fight i
Why do I need to understand it to want to kick its ass
All of you are a bunch of sissy cowardly homosexuals
You can't understand it. That's the whole point of the mythos. If it was understandable then people wouldn't go insane trying to comprehend it
Herbert West: Reanimator has a literal Nazi zombie in it.
>Win a really hard figth against a boss foreshadowed all the game

Didn’t this squid Black person get btfo by a fricking boat lmao
This. I bet I could take Chucuck in a fight.
idk anon. those tentacles are no joke, fricker has eight arms, maybe even more since he's an eldritch entity
isnt the a god who can end all of existence just by waking up?
Then how come he lost to a boat?
>isnt there a god who can end all of existence just by waking up?
Yes. Azathoth. It's a sleep, or thinks its sleeping, and in its "Dream" it unknowingly willed everything into existence. When it wakes up, everything ends.
only based god in the mythos. shame only Cthulu and yellow gay take up most of the spotlight when talking about adapting Lovecraftian media
wrong and homosexual
Is a shitty youtube video supposed to supercede Lovecraft?
I don't think Lovecraft ever said any of this stuff about his creation, this was all random shit other people just decided to add to his works well after his death.
Cthulu got beaten by a boat.
>cant fight boss, you only get cutscenes dying to it
boring
>can fight boss plus you get a kino cutscene while dying fighting it
fun
>Cthulhu gets knocked out by a boat conking him on the head before he's fully awake. Goes back to sleep.
I'd get knocked out if a germ rammed a boat into my head too, so that's fair I guess.
>dabs on your fishgods
Bloodborne did it just fine... Also, not all Lovecraft monsters are overwhelmingly powerful. A lot of the lower tiered ones are definitely killable.
Pretty sure lovecraftian creatures/followers get defeated all the time in the books. "The Dunwich horror" monster was vanished, The protagonist ancestor of the rats in the walls killed the whole cannibal family in "the rats in the walls", the army attacked the deep ones in "The shadow over Innsmouth" and so on.
This doesn't make for a good video game unless the writing, setting, story and literally everything else is top-fricking notch and nothing short of a 10/10 or at the very least 8/10. Anything less and you're asking for a boring and shitty walking sim. This is something devs still don't understand. You can't just solve everything by having the protagonist go "OH SHIT I'M GOING INSANE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH SAVE ME Black personMAN" over and over again.
shame that people actually wonder why greedy corporate cashgrab adaptions of everything keep happening while essentially begging for the shit to drop into their mouths.
What fricking escalation is this? Is it wrong to want to fight all-powerful things?
Videogames are so commonly a power-fantasy, why should we stop at lovecraft after EVERYTHING else?
>why can't we change this thing that we pretend to like to be more like other things that we actually like? wouldn't it be better if it was a fundamentally different thing?
its not changing it at all, its making something different
Just because someone makes something different, it doesn't magically erase the source material
The frick do you people function in society?
>it's not changing it, it's changing it
>no, i won't don't want new source material. i NEED an IP i recognize but changed completely to suit me.
>why aren't you people normalgays like me?
>Making shit up out of nowhere
making something different from a genre or characters you appreciate is completely fine and has been done for centuries, its done out of respect and appreciation for the original creator
You present like a fricking troglodyte, go the frick outside you don't even fricking read
>DUDE stop using other peoples characters
>Who the frick is mars? its ARES you dumb c**t
>No you can't just use "Jupiter" for Zeus instead
>fricking Roman normalhomosexuals completely ruining mythology
It's an especially weird stance to take with Lovecraft when he was very enthusiastic about swapping ideas with other pulp writers and using bits and pieces of each other's work to build loosely connected stories.
Fricking EVERYONE in Weird Fiction was borrowing Lovecraft's work, he pioneered the genre
Clark Ashton Smith was very close with him and based a large amount of his work off H.P's mythos
These people like
are fricking drooling brain-damaged idiots trying to sound smart when they're not even remotely cultured on a single fricking thing
Lovecraft himself was greatly inspired by Robert Chambers' The King in Yellow and adapted him into Hastur
Yes anon, nothing beyond the original lovecraft stories are lovecraft stories. That's why the word "lovecraftian" exists. You are behaving as if people are not allowed to want slightly different things, only entirely different things. It's an irrational mindset.
Best depictions of Lovecraft monsters in vidya:
>Bloodborne
>Don't Starve
>Control
Literaly the only game that shares the CoC that does it right is Dark Corners of the Earth, and even then it's a broken mess without the fan mods.
There aren't any lovecraft monsters in those games.
Honestly I prefer it when games are "inspired" by Lovecraft rather than actually using his monsters. It spoils everything when you go into the story with a full history and taxonomical guide available in your head. Like the whole ending sequence in At the Mountains of Madness would be completely ruined if you went into the story knowing what a "Shoggoth" is. Making the monsters regular features just degrades their effectiveness.
Control is boring as sin, though.
Inspired as in generall "lovecraftian" without actually adapting anything? Well the same thing still applies. Especially to Control and Bloodborne.
The centipede things in BB.
No?
Could do a strategy game with some of the ancient races. Sarnath vs. Ib, the shoggoth rebellion against the elder things, whatever was in the 'shunned house'. There are 'mortal' races, but bigger than that there's just no fighting.
Terran cats real-time strategy game.
I want a mountains of madness inspired tactical fps / survival horror game, with areas in antarctica, south american jungles, cities like red hook and innsmouth, the leng plateau, maybe dreamlands, and with '30s guns and technology.
The areas would be large and wide open, semi-open world. The most common objectives would be to retrieve artifacts, you'd fight a lot of cultists, mi-go, elder things, shoggoths, hounds of tindalos, maybe star spawn, young of shub niggurath, hybrids like wilbur whateley. You'd never actually fight something like cthuhu obviously. Nyarlathotep would be a couple different npcs.
GIVE DREAMLANDS GAEM
give me time
Play bloodborne
Bloodborne 2 should take place underwater or like piratey lovecraft areas
fishmen, dark young, mi-go, weird aliens, mutated humans
you could literally just draw a bunch of lines crossing each other and call that an enemy and it would fit the cthulhu setting
It would be interesting to have some entity completely out of your league take an interest in you, even if non-malicious. It wants to communicate something to you so every living creature in earshot begins saying the same thing simultaneously, animals twisting as they try to form human language in bodies not designed to be capable, or maybe it wants you to go to a place and your body now begins moving towards that place every time you're not inputting a control (assume it's being generous and trying not to hurt you do it won't just override you completely)
"gods" would be asleep or in a parallel dimension
enemies would be cultists or creatures spawned/mutated from radiating corruption
actually facing a lovecraftian god should always result in a game over or bad alternative ending sequence
this anon gets it
the only way to have it work is to be trying to avoid lovecraftian mythos creatures/gods manifesting in the real world all together
Alright fine motherfricker I'll say it
I made this thread because I'm making a setting that has you eventually fight Lovecraftian gods as endgame and I just want to see what people would want to fight or see
>you eventually fight Lovecraftian gods
this wouldnt feasibly work in any lovecraftian setting, the entire point is the fear of being absolutely helpless, unable to even comprehend or witness the presence of a god without your mind completely breaking, it draws heavily from catholic dogma in that sense, youve either completely misunderstood all of the lovecraft books you've read or never actually read them and base your lovecraft knowledge on the deviant art pictures youve saved
I said lovecraftian setting but lets gear it towards what I'm actually doing
Fantasy that devolves into a panic-stricken lovecraftian setting
Yes I've read his books, I elect to ignore the "you would die immediately" clause and mind-rape, I would rather people be able to fight them
>Why, that isn't faithful to the genre at all
Because videogames are as free as you want them to be motherfricker and we never got anywhere in the medium without a little artistic freedom
Skeletons themselves defy reasoning because they have no muscles or lungs to make scary screaming noises but we do it anyways because its fun
Literally Terraria gets away with you fighting the Moon Lord and Eyes of Cthulhu, suspend your disbelief
what youre describing you want to do isnt based on anything lovecraftian then, you just want to put seamonsters in your game and add a silly name to them like terraria, lovecraftian gods is akin in a true setting is akin to being a 2d being liviing in an entire 2d world and existence and the lovecraftian god would be a 3d being totally indescribable with common knowledge and understanding, something that exists which should not, its not even the godly dread that breaks you, its the mere existence of something beyond comprehension everything known and everything knowable cant even begin to align with what the thing is
Yes anon but guess what
Games can be non-euclidean unlike real life, so we're able to explore that and have fun with it
i agree, and games could definitely be lovecraftian and include things from the mythos, but directly fighting a god isnt one of those routes
Holy shit have sex already
>Uhhhhhh you can’t fight a god because that’s impossible
>vidya you say?? No they have to be realistic and to my standard!
>*profusely gargling on wiener*
The whole point of vidya is to immerse yourself to a fantasy world
It’s f a n t a s y
It can be anything, like fighting Cthulhu or fricking your mom you Black person
I literally stopped myself from asking people to avoid the argument and the very first fricking post was someone complaining about it
you can’t fight a god because that’s impossible
you can do that of course as well as many other things, he's just saying that then your game wouln't be lovecraftian
to add to this something like how they handled Sephiroth in the original FF7 near the beginning of the game, where he is talked about and referred to, youre trying to stop him yet never see him only aware of his presence and things he does, like the Zolom you run into thats impaled indicating his unreasonable level of power beyond what was originally thought, sort of lets you know all the training and fighting you done hasnt really brought you much closer to what youre truely up against, something in this vein would be a better handling of lovecraftian mythos
You're gonna get a lot of pretentious answers from pseuds and redditors who'll use this opportunity to point out why you're wrong in order to feel smart.
Personally, You Sothoth and his spawns, Nyarlathotep, and Shoggoths are all good. I'd also recommend making your own monsters to suit your needs based on Lovecraftian themes.
Some books I'd recommend looking into is the Dunwich Horror, Shadows Over Insmouth, At the Mountains of Madness, and I forget the name but the one about the guy in the ranch and the alien abduction.
Ignore the morons tell you you can't do this because "reasons" they're the same morons who frizzle at the mouth with excitement at seeing Chthulu in the Rick and Morty intro. If it worked for Bloodborne it can work for you.
I will tell you Nyarlathotep is my key to making the entire story work and fit well-together. He is the focal point.
I also plan to include Cthulhu and Hastur. Beyond that, I'm still looking for other ideas.
How did Randolph carter outsmart Nyarlathotep then if he's supposed to be so above everyone. In fact how come he didn't immediately go completely insane?
Main Character Syndrome. Carter is Lovecraft's self-insert, no?
Probably because nyarlothotep is the most human of all gods, so to speak. He's the only one I think that communicates with humans directly through his numerous avatars and acts like a devil stand in
That's dumb, anon. A human can no more fight a Great Old One than a poodle could fight a sun going supernova. And playing as some other being means trying to put the motivations of a being beyond our spacial and temporal understanding into something that can be scored, balanced and interpreted, which likely means you just made Cthulhu play deathmatch with his cultists for some gay currency.
The only one that makes sense is Nyralathotep because he has different forms.
How do you fight them? Best you could do without making them a letdown would be maybe interrupting rituals so they stop manifesting or something, if there's an actual god then the PCs better also be gods.
>PCs better also be gods
By this point yes
It is a maximum power-trip
Then fine, go full TTGL and have The Idiot wake up and you fight him outside reality to put him back to sleep and start reality back up.
Its akin to this, its all apart of the story and how its all pieced together.
It makes sense, I promise. It works.
If the analogy is "Humans are like germs to Old Ones", then it would follow logically that the only way to kill them would be to organize into a disease. Living creatures capable of thought would have to have their brains/psychic might/aura/whatever weaponized in such a way that it would cause a cascading failure within the Old Ones.
So basically clapping for Tinkerbell or Spiral Energy I guess.
You have a magic sword that can kill gods, like in elric.
That still isn't going to keep you from going insane. At that point you might believe you have Stormbringer but in reality you're chasing after some Lovecraftian horror with a wooden spoon.
>Stormbringer
I think the real problem is you're using the sword equivalent of Nyarlathotep and hoping it doesn't frick you over
You completely missed the point of my post. And there is no hoping when you're dealing with Stormbringer. It will frick you over to satiate it's need to feed. Period.
I don't really remember any Lovecraft characters going insane like that tbh. Burnt out and paranoid maybe, but not wholly delusional. And the hoping part is kinda the point. You might know the sword will frick you up, but you still need it for a specific goal, and the only thing you can do is keep going until it eventually does screw you over.
People overstate the omnipotence of Lovecraft's villains. None of his stories actually end with the end of the world; the villains are always either kind of low-key in scale or have some sort of weakness that's let mankind survive this long in the first place. Cthulhu famously got sent back to sleep after getting brained with a boat. The colour out of space couldn't really exist properly on Earth which is why it fricked off back to space the second it got a chance. Whatever Eric Zahn was dealing with was appeased by routine violin music. The Dunwich horror got sent back to his own dimension with no long-term issues after its brother got killed by a fricking dog. Lovecraft's horrors were supposed to be scary because they were alien and unconcerned with humanity, not because they were apocalyptic unbeatable threats.
Because that's not the crux of his stories. It's that the existence of these "villains" are real which causes the protagonist to question his delusional worldview that he realizes is a lie and that the horrors they've encountered are true which his mortal mind cannot comprehend.
I just want to explore Carcossa and witness the King in Yellow play. I don't wanna fight anything
Ready or Not but it's for Delta Green glowBlack persony
Azathoth because its go big or go home.
Fight humans who serve Nyarlathotep and the government, with aid from servants of Dagon, Yig, and the Mi-Go. Everyone makes games about fighting the otherworldly cultists so why not stand out by helping some of them?
I want to fight a Gug.
Thats basically any world war 2 game.
Fine, I want a world war 2 game with elements from Lovecraft's world.
Different cults trying to out do each other while being funded by the goverment during world war 2 hell have soldiers being re-animated by herbert wests serum on top of each side trying to summon in nasty things from other dimensions.
Isn't it just bloodborne?
Deep sea and space creatures. Also combat encounters with Lovecraftian creatures should be rare and difficult

Black person there is a vast difference fighting some flesh monstrosity and wanting to bonk Chulhu on the head.
Horror games without combat tend to be repulsive, ESPECIALLY the forced hide & seek ones.
Even a game like Haunting Ground lets you beat the enemies so hard they eventually stop stalking you.
Why do c**ts always assume combat in lovecraft means you want to teleport miles into the deep corners of space to beat a quasi deity with an iron pipe

I could name the number of effective horror games where you fight something on one hand.
Just having the tools to kill the enemy no longer makes you afraid -- unless combat is difficult, unrewarding, and expends limited resources

The appeal of the setting is the paranormal, not slapping a new skin on a generic enemy. Change the rules of the universe in mind bending ways and make people feel a sense of mystery and wonder.
Yeah thats the idea
Is there a collection of the not Lovecraft Cthulhu stories or do I have to hunt down each one individually?
They're all on YT as audiobooks.
Cthulhu is not THAT prominent in the books, Honestly i cant even remember him being mentioned in other Lovecraft works besides The call of Cthulhu. Besides, pretty much all books and tales are standalone with one reference to each other here and there, like the Necronomicon being mentioned all the time.

>For full three seconds I could glimpse that pandaemoniac sight, and in those seconds I saw a vista which will ever afterward torment me in dreams. I saw the heavens verminous with strange flying things, and beneath them a hellish black city of giant stone terraces with impious pyramids flung savagely to the moon, and devil-lights burning from unnumbered windows. And swarming loathsomely on aërial galleries I saw the yellow, squint-eyed people of that city, robed horribly in orange and red, and dancing insanely to the pounding of fevered kettle-drums, the clatter of obscene crotala, and the maniacal moaning of muted horns whose ceaseless dirges rose and fell undulantly like the waves of an unhallowed ocean of bitumen.
