Scary game is scary

Re: Scary game is scary

BioShock isn't even remotely frightening. I went into it thinking it would be, but that's not the point of the game. Instead, it's one of the best stories I've ever seen in an FPS. Not hard to do, since most FPSes don't actually have stories.

By the way I played at 5 in the morning.

If you're 5, sure. I remember playing Diablo at night when I was younger and it scared the crap out of me with the weird background music and the fact that if you walked anywhere in that dungeon, stuff would pop out from everywhere and attack you.

But once again, I was young.

How can you get scared by a video game?

Seriously?! How do people get scared from movies... At least video games your involved with what's going on...

Anyway, Bioshock had a few scary parts, but mostly it was just sounds and lights flickering on and off and stuff, nothing really too jumpy, just stuff to get your heart beating a little. As previous people said, Silent Hill, definatly scary... Or FEAR... Omg i never play that after dark

Re: Scary game is scary

That's odd. After the age of 10, I've never been scared from playing a video game, but even to this day, I still cringe whenever I see something scary in a movie. I'm so scared, I'm afraid of leaving my room after it is dark.

Play the Silent Hills, play Eternal Darkness, you can at the very least be left feeling quite tense and nervous if not afraid.

Re: Scary game is scary

The only game to ever make me jump was Morrowind. I was in a remote location, in a cave. Sneaking around killing things. Music way up, darkness. Suddenly the screen shakes and I'm getting raped by an undead monster. Made me jump before killing it.

Never actually been scared by a game, but that's the closest I guess.

To all those saying "how can you possibly get scared by a game". Try to take it less as a game and more as an experience. Really immerse yourself, try to get into it and you'll be more likely to jump or get scared from something happening. Rather than just going "oh yeah that's a coded event meant to scare me NICE GRAPHIX"

Lol exactly what I think about when I start to get scared at all.

Re: Scary game is scary

The last time I got scared by a game was playing Silent Hill 4 two or three years ago (I don't remember). I was playing it in my uncle's Xbox and when nothing happens, I tend to expect something scary to pop up. Nothing happened except the music was tense and getting louder and louder, and that's what scared me, so I turned off the Xbox and started shaking.

Now, I can play F.E.A.R without showing any scared emotions (yet, F.E.A.R. isn't scary at all)

Re: Scary game is scary

When I was a little kid...the ReDeads in Ocarina of Time scared me ****less. I remember seeing them for the first time so I thought I would go up and just kill them but then the paralized me and humped my face until I died...still ****ing scared of them because of that. The only scary games I've played would be Resident Evil. I will never forget playing RE4 for the first time alone in my basement at 1AM home alone when I run into a house with a chainsaw wielding maniac climbing up a ladder and I'm still pretty ****ty with the controls at this time...he screamed as he cut off my head and I let out a pretty loud shriek. Also the ****ing leach zombies in RE0, and the boss 'IT' in RE4 when you had to go though a maze while some huge ****ing mutant thing crawls around above the cage trying to slice off your head.

Eternal Darkness is the most epic game evar.

PS - Nothing can top Pyramid Head for WTF factor. Nothing.

I Am Legend sacred the **** out of me, but a game never has.

Re: Scary game is scary

I am legend is a joke. That's not even remotely scary. I've never actually been scared by a movie, only video games.

I will say that The Iron Giant makes me tear up to this day.

Re: Scary game is scary

I don't get how I am Legend could be scary unless you're 8 years old. Since we're still naming scary games, playing Condemned:Criminal Origins had me jumping out of my skin.
