when i was 12 : just about anything with zombies gore and very cheesy graphics (i dont know why but that seems to scare me more than good graphiced things)

snuzi 03-15-2007 06:55 PM

I can relate, in some way. The graphics of the 90s did, in a way, make the entire experience of playing a horror video game a little bit more frightenting. I guess it was just the fact that you didn't know what would pop up next, since some of the things kinda blended in with the environment. In any case, I still get easily frightened by some of the horror games of the 90s, as I've previously stated :p.

F.E.A.R and Condemned...

Bloody faces suddenly in your face during playtime and drug junkies suddenly running at you from a dark corner when you least expect it. Just the demo of that game scared the crap out of me :|.

Silent Hill 2, when you see Pyramid Head for the first time. Just standing there, behind the bars.

Paramite of War 03-20-2007 01:53 PM

Now I think about it anytime something is just starring at you like in half life 2 that giant bug. Also condemned scared me, and so did King Kong where you gotta run into the ruins from the raptors.

ANN NEELY 03-21-2007 02:36 PM

As far as gaming goes, anything that jumps out at me scares the crap out of me, but paranoia is what really gets to me.

First time I played Silent Hill 2, Pyramid Head scared me quite a bit. Especially the first time you see him behind those bars in the apartments. The lying figure monsters also creeped me out.

In Silent Hill 3, the whole Lakeside Amusement Park level made me rather uncomfortable. I kept thinking those bloody rabbit suits would attack me (it didn't help that we went to a theme park the next day).

Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly is probably one of the scariest games I've played. Some of the ghosts scared the Hell out of me.

Yes. That frightened me too. I remember jumping and pressing the attack button in Condemned when that guy comes behind you on the stairs, after you talk to the old guy on the radio.

And another thing. This is similar to Snuzi's Doom fear. In Alien Trilogy, a level with a bunch of those black aliens, there are walls that make funny noises, and if you look at them, you can see these weird little children things with huge eyes starring at you. As a matter of fact, a year or two after I saw that, I had a nightmare that one of those was in my room...

Mine?
 
My scariest moment is in a flash game!Lol thats a color vision test game, where you guess numbers.Suddenly you can see only dots-no number!You type anything and suddenly-A BIG, SPOOKY FACE APPEARS WITH A SCREAM IN THE BACKGROUND-OMG!!!That scared the hell out of me :( and I DID play F.E.A.R.!

Alf Shall Rise 03-22-2007 12:56 PM

That's similar when I was playing one of those games where the mouse can't touch those walls. Well, the last level is supposed to be impossible, and when you lose, a zombie dude pops up. I was half asleep, so that thing really woke me up.

12345abe 03-22-2007 01:04 PM

LOL
 
just... LOL!

Bonedust 03-22-2007 02:43 PM

The orignal Resident Evil scared me. The cutscene when the zombie bites of the Bravo member's head and turns around made me want to turn of my PS1, but I somehow made it to the main hall. I opened the front door which triggers another cutscene where the dog sticks his head inside only to have the door slam shut on it. Those were my scariest moments in video gaming.

dripik 03-27-2007 11:53 AM

Some of the classic Doom moments are kinda scary, especially the 'lights-go-off-after-you-pick-up-something-and-monsters-appear' kind of moments. Same thing goes for F.E.A.R., I liked that game though.

Some scary moments from my gaming experience are totally ordinary. It just comes as a shock that you were able to predict what's going to happen... Like, when playing Call of Duty. Full health, good weapon, no worries, but you think there could be a German soldier behind the corner... And yes, he's there. I almost threw the mouse away once because of this.

amen, jut played the F.E.A.R. demo on my 360, I have to buy the game now! :p

Fluid 03-29-2007 12:05 AM

I dunno.. i do not play games....


but doom probably.. i played it ...

snuzi 03-29-2007 10:45 AM

You don't play games, yet you've played Oddworld games...?

Sure. That makes sense.

Alf Shall Rise 03-29-2007 01:40 PM

It does in his world. You have to accept that. :p

EDIT: I forgot to post this last time, I reminded myself when I posted in "What made you hooked" or something like that....anyway, I believe I was only 4 when my dad played Resident Evil 2. I would come in and he would try to make me leave, and I did. But one day I didn't, and I happened to see the first cutscene...scary stuff. :D

I forgot all about those two. Definately Condemned and FEAR f#@$#@$ scary stuff and all the time I jumped so many times in Condemned same with FEAR.

Plus, my earlier post I meant the remake of the Original playstation Resident Evil on Gamecube.

Luskan 03-30-2007 02:34 PM

My scariest momment was when playing metroid prime. And after infiltrating the space pirates base in phendrana drifts, on the way out of the facility the whole place goes dark!....now i know theres scarier things than that - but at the time...that scared the shit out of me.

Seeing "Sonic: Heroes" for sale on gamestop.com for less than the "Dora the Explorer" games!

Actually my scariest moments would have to be the prison level in Silent Hill 2 and the hospital in Silent Hill 4.

That's just wrong! :lol: Maybe people find Dora a lot more exciting than a super fast hedgehog. What is the world coming to!?

Ooh, I remember that prison, constantly hearing things, searching for you, makes you feel really scared :).

speed the scrab 04-08-2007 05:20 AM

sonic heroes was gay enough to be scary!

OddjobAbe 04-08-2007 05:26 AM

Especially Tails and Team Rose's Team Attack or whatever it was called.

Chubfish 04-08-2007 08:23 AM

Well, I hated the part on Resident Evil 4 where there were Regeneratos because they scared the hell out of me and one was hiding and I couldn't find him and then he popped out of no where and grabbed me, then spikes came out of him and I died. It sucked and scared me.

Don't go there, that attack scared me. It did.

Chubfish 04-08-2007 09:07 AM

You mean the attack with umbrella and...

Strike Witch 04-08-2007 07:50 PM

The Call Of Cthulhu: Dark Corners Of The Earth.

When you meet Dagon on an abandoned Whaling vessel during a storm...You move through the corridors to get up on deck, and get these two second scenes through the eyes of something else going through the area you were just in.....and then you reach the deck...

Bloody frightening.

Yes. And the very high-pitched giggling and the flowers. I feel so sorry for Big.

Chubfish 04-09-2007 06:46 AM

Yeah, why does Sonic Heroes have to have the wierdest Team Attacks seen on a game? Also, how the hell can a 6 year old rabbit lift up a massive cat and a hedgehog and still fly at the same time and shoot them?! What scares me even more is the fact that Rouge can lift up a robot...

Jordan 04-09-2007 06:48 AM

Heh. :lol: Sonic Heroes is a sick game. It needs to be locked up and torn to pieces.

Chubfish 04-09-2007 06:56 AM

Yes, I agree with that. But before we do that, lets see what the most random mission is. Oh yes, lets go to a forest inhabited by frogs and see if we can get through it unseen. Or blow out 20 candles (i hated that mission). Why does Team Chaotix have so much random crap to do? Now lets microwave it and watch a nice lights show. :)

OddjobAbe 04-09-2007 09:52 AM

What was the point of all the levels in Sonic Heroes? There was no apparent reason to go there, and no reason for their missions! Oh, Metal Sonic is going to blow up the world, shit, we're boned! Terrible story.
Sonic Heroes? Sonic Arseholes more like.

Jordan 04-09-2007 11:42 AM

Heh heh... Sonic Arseholes. :lol: What also annoyed me is that Big kept saying Froggy, he sounds like he's say froggay!

Goresplatter 04-09-2007 12:12 PM

I'd have to say the hospital and general atmosphere of Silent Hill 2 was the worst, but I was playing games like Quake since before I remember, I practically grew up with them - but Silent Hill 2, damn, that game was demented. I couldn't even play that game properly. The movie, I recently discovered, rocks. I like how they made horrific images without just gore and disgust - disquieting is so much better. That's why I like Aliens so much. Patient Demons from Silent Hill rock :)

As far as being made jump is concerned, anyone who's played Quake will know what a Fiend is, and what it does. By extension they'll know why they made me jump :p C'thon (the first boss of Quake) was pretty scary to fight because of it's intimidating appearance.

Getting STALKER on Wednesday, hopefully the anomalies will keep me on my toes! :D

Jordan 04-09-2007 01:20 PM

I just played Tomb Raider 6 on the PC today. The camera zoomed in on Lara too much and it showed inside her head. Obviously, there was no brain, but it showed Lara's eye balls backwards, she looked worse than Freddy Krueger. Seriously. I paused it immediately and loaded a savegame. Oh the horror. :D

Infection Form 143 04-09-2007 03:28 PM

That part in F.E.A.R. when you are on a catwalk, and you get on a ladder. As you're turning around, that freaky little girl appears in the spot where you were just standing. That entire game is more of a mind**** than that 23 movie.

Nemo 04-09-2007 07:46 PM

I was playing Solitaire, I won, and the cards tried to kill me.
Scared me out of my mind.

mitsur 04-09-2007 10:23 PM

You mean you aren't the only one thats happened to?!

Anyway, I'd probably say that Ravenholm from HL-2 is the scariest game part I've ever played. Pretty pathetic, yes, but I'm not really attracted to scary games.

I feel much better now that I'm not the only one whom the cards want to flap to death. First time I got my computer, I really didn't expect those darn cards to leap at the screen.

In about any game, I find it not scary, but somewhat... shocking when my health is low, and there's an enemy just around the corner and just in front of me trying to kill me. I am always determined to stop the little cretins from sending me back to the previous part.

I am scared of any game that is really childish and has the character speaking too cheerily. I always expect the 'Psycho' music to play, and for the character to come around the coner, start talking cheerily, and give me diabetes.
I'm not trying to be funny or anything, seriously, I'm scared of extremely childish games.

Chubfish 04-10-2007 04:30 AM

I know what you mean, oddjobabe. Some childish games *cough*Gubble*cough* scare me. Especially Gubble, which my mum bought for me when i was nine. It had wierd levels and these bonus stages called "Zimbots". I completed it without even knowing what the plot was and it confused me at the end. I then later on broke the game by putting it in a fire. I never wanted to see it again. Ever.
