Yeah I was playing in the dark -- nothing scary so far though. This game reminds me of a really dark rendition of Nitemare 3D.

Amnesia was awesome. Its laggy for me cause my computer sucks. PS3 version would be nice.

yeah the refinery is right about where enemies start appearing, and they really provide the serious scares in the game. The ambient phenomena are mostly to both set the mood and to give the game an excuse to lower your sanity, adding to the sense of urgency.

I can't remember a time when a movie or video game has scared me. Maybe a pop up that makes me jump a little but that's it. I'm tempted to buy Amnesia right now, because it's half off on steam. Is it that good/scary? What makes it so scary?

Amnesia isn't even scary wtf you guys on. Doom 3 and Silent Hill 4 are the only games that have scared me at least a bit.

Doom 3 isn't even that scary, but there are certainly a few moments in that game that made me literally jump up in my seat

Re: Scariest PC Games? Recommend me some and why

To be honest, there really aren't any scary games for the PC. It's all expected to pop up, and it has no shock value.

As in: Amnesia. Not scary at all. :\ I've been watching the TobyGames LP of it, and everything you can expect to happen does.

Re: Scariest PC Games? Recommend me some and why

Doom 3 is only scary in the sense of cheap scares through popping **** up in front of you suddenly. Amnesia is a far more elegant, atmospheric kind of scary, but I have turned several corners to find myself face to face with an enemy with a lower lip reaching his chest and freaking the **** out.

By the way, watching an LP doesn't really convey the same oh god i'm going to die sense that actually playing does. You immerse yourself deeper and subsequently every scare is intensified.

The game isn't scary. Amnesia just isn't.
Saying it is scary is like saying that Black Ops or Modern Warfare 2 isn't overrated.
And, yes, I have played "The Dark Descent" with the lights off. And, I wasn't phased.

Well, your just assuming that everyone doesn't get as easily scared as you do. If everyone didn't find Amnesia scary, then there wouldn't be a big market for it. So your making a false statement about Amnesia not being scary, because it is for some people.

Re: Scariest PC Games? Recommend me some and why

So far Amnesia hasn't been scary. Just occasionally disturbing/unsettling, perhaps.

I want something that will make me piss myself.

I see four options here

1. I'm a wuss
2. The people who say it isn't scary are being internet tough guys
3. The people who say it isn't scary are genuinely hard to scare people
4. All of the above

Re: Scariest PC Games? Recommend me some and why

Well, I have money to blow from Christmas, so I just bought Amnesia. It's downloading right now. It's at 30%. I don't expect to **** myself, but I at least want to be unsettled or jump a bit once. I looked at the steam forums for the game, and everyone is saying not to doubt it and how good of an experience it is, but some of you are saying it isn't scary. I have yet to watch ANY gameplay of this game on youtube, so the game is completely unspoiled and I don't know what to expect.
