What is the scariest thing you've ever seen in a video game?
my reflection during a loading screen
one time I was really high and a deathclaw snuck up on me
The mirror room in silent hill 3
It didn't help that I was on ecstasy and shrooms
>>317774582
>>317774614
DUDE
DRUGS
LMAO XD
Lisa Trevor is definitely up there on the list.
He's easy to beat, but this is the one time I felt terror.
>people have to do drugs on daily basis
>gets scared once in a lifetime during one day
You people must have miserably boring and lame life
But then again where do I think I am
bruhhhh i was like soooooooo high and sum scary thiung popped up in game that wouldnt be scary but it wuz really scare cuz i was soooooo high
>asleep and having dreams
>playing/inside of a horror game
>pause the game because it's getting too spooky
>the game continues to play behind the pause screen, with whatever demon/monster/etc coming to get you
I'm not the only one who gets these, right?
>>317775041
>>317775260
Why do you people do this? Does someone else mentioning they were high trigger your autism this much? In your attempt to oust the "stoners" for being annoying faggots, you ended up being the annoying faggot yourself while everyone else was just discussing video games.
So good job, you really showed us how immature and childish we are.

>>317776027
Hey. I think sharks are pretty cute.
That room in SH3 with the decapitated mannequin got a scream out of me. More recently, the kek pt throwback level in mgsv was pretty rad.
First time in REmake when the Crimson Heads were introduced

It was scary because I didn't spoil myself on the internet then.
>>317774269
Any n64 games with water or space are fucking terrifying to me because of something that happened as a kid. It's quite embarrassing and I just stay any from them.
Finally admitting to myself after playing a random female character that I want to be a woman in real life, but it's terrifying to potentially be shunned by society because I might not end up looking like a cute girl.
>>317775425
Games that don't pause when you pause are the devil.
This thread went downhill very quickly
>>317774673
He wasn't trying to be funny, he was actually answering the OP's question. Marijuana actually has that effect of making stuff like that scarier. I don't even smoke, but you'd know that if you were popular enough in high school or college for anyone to want to smoke with you.
>>317776454
>Any n64 games with water or space are fucking terrifying to me because of something that happened as a kid
What happened?
>>317776454
is it masturbating to floor tiles embarrassing?
>>317774269
Why the fuck do we open our new ITT: SPOOKY SHIT threads with that pic? Is there some significance I'm not aware of?
Anyway, does anyone else here always get super weird dreams if they sleep on their back? I fall asleep easiest that way, but when I do, I get hyper realistic dreams where I have a false awakening and demons attack me.

it comes from diet, excerside, makeup and surgery.
>>317776871
Don't know who that is.
>>317775425
Fuck, I do too. I can always pause my dreams when they get to scary and threatening and I can bring up a little pause menu that lets me quit out of the dream, but I had one dream where a demon girl was digging her thumb into my chest and I couldn't get out of it.
wakemeup.jpg
While playing Left 4 Dead once, the game lagged to shit. During one of the long lags, 4 zombies were frozen in front of me with their faces still moving and making noises. I freaked the fuck out for a sec before I just shut the game down.
>>317776897
I know. I'm hoping I can get face surgery (I think I'm a little too masculine), breast implants if I need them, and bottom surgery. I'm just scared.
Glitches are usually the source of most scary shit in vidya, mostly because you get surreal situations out of wonky coding
The one glitch i'll never forget though is the one in skyrim with the moving mannequins
You see, bethesda had the idea to make mannequins out of wooden-skinned NPCs that are not allowed to move, so they could show off clothing and armor without any issue or extra code needed
The thing with these mannequins are that they're scripted not to move at any time, but will sometimes glitch out and start wandering around your house and looking for you, since their default script when not immobile is to trigger the action to seek you out and say "you need to leave" like the other NPCs when you force your way into their houses, but seeing as they have no voice files, they'll just stare at you with a blank expression since they have no faces
>tl;dr skyrim manequinns aren't incapable of moving, they're just choosing not to move
This motherfucker
I can swear I saw the fucker going inside a hallway that ended up on a room with an empty bed frame that had NO OTHER PHISICAL EXITS. I knew this because I had memorized most of the map so I hopefully wouldn't get caught off guarded. I also knew I had to go inside that room to pick a key or something. I went in running like a faggot expecting to see him upfront. When I didn't see him right away, I turned arround confused and the fucker was sprinting at me from my back, from outside the room.
sneaky motherfuker
OP's pic kind of reminds me of a dream I once had.
Once upon a time, I was super sick. Like, it took a ton of effort just to move my arms. I don't remember what I had, because I was so out of it. But the dreams are branded on the inside of my skull.
Most are not worth talking about, but one night in the peak of my fever madness, I had the most awful recurring dream. I would fall asleep, and then instantly wake back up. But I wasn't really "awake."
The door would creak open, and the light switch would be flipped. I'd see this horrible woman in a black dress with jet black hair slowly limp into the room, with blood running down her face from gory eyesockets. I couldn't move or scream, just watch as she lurched to the side of my bed.
She would hunch over and just stare at me, blood dripping down from her gouged out eyes and falling onto my face. I'd try to scream for help, but no sound would come out. She made no sound. But then she would touch my face with a wrinkly pale hand, the lights would flicker off, and I'd wake back up in the real world.
I'd sweat for a few minutes and hyperventilate before passing out, where it would happen again. And this happened at least a hundred times before day broke.
>>317777212
Keep the dick.
Do the rest.

I always wondered how these guys worked. It seems they move much faster when you are looking at them.
>>317777973
I don't understand why anyone would want to keep it. It's a lot of hassle to wear panties/thongs/bikinis then, and I don't like it.
>>317778163
that shark is stronger than that guy and could probably swim away if he wanted
>>317778163
That isn't true.
>>317778218
They sprint when they can see you, as a normal enemy would do. They patrool, when they catch you they pursue, that's it.
>>317778163
check your facts, grandpa. that's been disproven.
>>317774483
>>317778163
then how the fuck do they sleep?
>>317775475
that awkward moment when you preface anything with that awkward moment in any context other than to mock invalids that do as above
>>317776027
But you're beautiful, shark girl.
>>317777934
I've studied this. It's called sleep paralysis and what you described fits perfectly. The reason it was what you mentioned was probably because you were already feeling like shit so you saw shit. Sleep paralysis can be happy rainbow faggycorns and then it can be what you described, it's just what you think at the moment. Since you're sick, you probably feel weak and in pain so you saw something of a negative nature.
The reason you saw it over and over so many times is because your already thinking "Well, here comes the lady again." so it happens. And since your body is in a state of heavy repair against its sickness, your mind is preoccupied and not concerned with putting you fully to sleep.
As for what you experienced itself, it's called sleep paralysis and is kind of like the cross between awake and asleep. It's where your body has fallen to sleep and gone into sleep mode but your mind is still PARTIALLY awake. So it starts to simulate a dream but you can actually see what is happening. You couldn't move because your body is already asleep and can't do shit. The reason that most stories of this are scary is because people are already scared at the fact that they can't move and this just triggers your brain into showing horrific things, especially things coming after you because the brains first instinct upon your inability to move is "Holy shit anything can catch me now", so the demon is partially yourself conjuring it and your brain giving itself a pinch/punch to wake your body up and run from it.
It's usually rare but in your case it is common. However, many people who practice lucid dreaming use a technique which involves purposely going into sleep paralysis so you can slip right into it. Just remember, it won't be scary as long as you don't think it will be.
>>317776027
hi :3
>>317776535
You almost certainly won't look like a cute girl unless you're 13 or 14 right now. Have fun, Bruce.
>>317774483
>Your reflection begins to distort when you stare at the mirror long enough
I need to fucking sleep more.
>>317778826
Huh. That's really interesting. Thanks.
I don't want to see that bitch again, though, so I guess lucid dreaming is not for me.
>>317779265
why would you stare at a mirror for that long in the first place?
>>317778826
I had sleep paralysis for so many nights (and often multiple times in the same sleep session) that I've become numb to the terror it initially gave me. I have seen and heard some shit
>>317776778
DUDE WEED LMAO
>>317776854
Because it's probobally the same OP who enjoys how these threads typically become pretty good.
Sadly the shitposting at the start probobally ruined it.
>>317778163
That really depends on the species.
>>317778826
is seeing faces in the black void of your closed eyes (instead of hallucinations in the physical world), suffocation, and spikes of pain in your chest the same thing as sleep paralysis or something else.
>>317779751
No, but you should see a doctor y'idiot
>>317777934
>>317778826
that happened to me once but it wasn't as bad as that anon's.
i was 'dreaming' that i was looking outside my room's window while in bed and i could see a guy with a pig mask looking back at me, at first from the top of the next building but then from the window itself. it was terrifying and i couldn't snap out of it for a while. only happened once though
>>317774269
I'm not sure but i think it was that moment in RE2 when those zombies bust through the store glass eating the fat guy.
>>317779258
Nah, I have small hands and feet, I'm not tall, I have a middling androgynous face, and a big butt. I think I'll be okay overall.
>>317780009
nah I haven't had that happen in years, but it used to pop up frequently for periods of time.

>>317774269
I was a pretty squeamish kid and the first time I booted up Metroid Prime I noped and didn't play it until a week later. Wasn't expecting that eerie into.
Also, I had left Soul Calibur II on in my room and right as I walked in Necrid said "Sould Calibur II" on the title screen in a demonic voice. I ran lol.
>>317778826
Have you ever seen The Nightmare? It's documentary about people and their experiences with Sleep paralysis.
It's pretty fucking spooky but kind of shits the bed when it tries to insinuate its actually people REALLY being attacked by demons or some shit.
this piece of shit and what it does with saves and shit
also the crabs from half life
>>317778163

I used to have a dream every now and then
I don't exactly remember what it was just bits and portions of it
There were these numbers and they were chasing me and I had to hide if they caught up to me somethibg terrible would happen ,I had these whenever I was down with a fever or anything
I've mentioned this to my friends and some of them seem to have had it
>>317780651
I just stabbed them in a secluded area to get them out of the way.
>>317781184
Reminder that you're not real, and in 5 seconds you're going to blink out of existence.

>>317781198
Now that I read it it seems kinda funny but it totally is not
Its not like a usual nightmare
After having this I would usually wake up in the middle of the night drenced in sweat and unable to move a muscle
Its really fucking scary
>>317781270
fuck man, when everyone's dead, all eyes are on me,and I'm not a crossbow medic, then shit gets unnerving.

It was not like literally they were chasing me and shit but like a a set of numbers or a dangerous sequence or somesuch I don't know how to explain it all I remember is that Ive been having it for as long as I can remember and its sacry as shit
the house in Underhell. i get jittery whenever i even think about it
>>317781829

Fucking yes, every fucking time.
>>317778826
anon I think you're confusing Sleep Paralysis for Night Terrors, what that anon had was a combination of both, Sleep Paralysis is when your mind is awake but the rest of your body isn't, so your just stuck

>>317781184
Well anon, all those cited sources prove over a century of medical study wrong.
It was about 5 or so years ago. I was playing siren the original one for the ps2. My older sister and younger brother were there with me. Well it was about 1-2am and I was playing the mission were you are trying to get home as the little girl. I found this overturned bike which says "press". So I go I wonder what this button does. Litterly as I click it an extremely loud alarm goes off behind us and makes us all jump.Turns out dust got caught in the fire alarm and made it go off pretty cool actually.
>>317781184
and your proof is?
This shit right here
The entire game scared the shit out of me. The first person apartment segments really made me uneasy, just finding that hole at the beginning made me feel claustrophobic and anxious. Thats before all the fucking ghosts
>>317781753
IF only in Dead Space 1 they didn't tell you over and over and over again "cut off their limbs" at
the beginning, the necromorphs would have been more scarier to methe divider though. Thats a whole different story
>>317781468
Some faggot always enrages one and I'm left to take care of it once they get their shit wrecked. I know that feeling of being the last man standing when there is 80+ zeds left on a wave after 7. Its an adrenaline rush, but some of those spawn points are bullshit in moments like that.
>>317782159
"I never had it therefore shit's fake"
>>317781829
I just stabbed them to stun them, they didn't wake up again unless I went near them.
>>317781625
I swear on me mum it's real. Had it three times and seriously thought I was going to die. What makes you think it's not real?>>317781625
>>317782225
Different anon here, had it only once, it was a choking darkness that made me physically unable to move, not even open my lips. Fucking terrifying waking up in the darkness and it feels like something is trying to tear your mouth open and jump in. Then it ended and I slowly went back to sleep. The end.
Even though Cry of Fear was as edgy as a 13 year old's Sonic OC, I thought it did some great spooky moments. The basic twitchers and the ones in all white that breathe really quickly were great.

>>317781198
I recall a period of time when i was 15 where i would always wake up at 4:30-35, and i mean fucking always (to the point i slept in class once)
And every single night i had a weird ass dream, i had a dream journal and it seems they were connected with things that were conistent.
In each dream it started out either in a normal situation, be it in school, house, in downtown, with friends or some shit like that, then thought the dream i would always spot people that had like blurry faces or not any face at all, so for whatever reason i have in my journal that to be able to escape the dream i needed to search for a light-switch in any wall.
Every-time i hit the light-switch the dream would turn into a nightmare of sorts, hitting the light-switch let me know that i was dreaming, but it also made me realize of those people in the crowd didn't had a face and they would move around the people i was hanging out with in the dream. Stalking me from behind and each time they grabbed me i would wake up agitated.
I am reading this dream journal right now and jesus christ what the fuck i was dreaming about 10 years ago.
Pic related, from the description, they had no face but they had features like they once had eyes or some shit.

Friendly reminder for anyone and everyone on /v/ to play Shadowman. It's a twisted game and can get pretty spooky at certain parts.
seeing this at 4am with the lights off scared the living fuck out of me

Remember staying up late on a school night in an Xbox live party chat with all your friends from school playing call of duty? Remember Anon? Remember when that kid in matchmaking said he could boost you to 10th prestige and all you had to do was let him sign in to your account? Remember anon?

>not trying something because of who made it
Man, I'm so fucking afraid that I'll have sleep paralysis one day, my mother suffered from it for a long time and everything I've read about it makes me terrified.
I've had experiences with like, demented lucid dreams? I don't know how to describe them, I've never seen anyone else talk about them, but basically I would be aware that I'm dreaming, and able to control myself (just walking and etc,) and I'd always be being chased and my dream self would beg me to wake up, or else they'd die/something bad would happen.
>>317783476
>because because because because because because because because
Fucking hell mate, work on your English.
>>317783814
Yahtzee is alright.
His bar is also surprisingly nice.
>>317783886
I remember going into a modded lobby in the early hours of the morning, killing one person and it fucking up my stats forever (gave me every challenge, like a billion kills, etc). Still enjoyed the game though.
>>317783616
The worst thing is the freaks constantly pouring out of the basement. Closing the door would stop it but i always thought they would find a way to open it while I was exploring with my back turned.

It's fucking horrifying.
It uses jumpscares, but nothing "killer" or "bullshit."
It's about an insane painter and how he finished his masterpiece.
It's a wild ride, to say the least.
>>317784083
>It uses jumpscares, but nothing "killer" or "bullshit."
Ok what do you mean with this
Give an example, i was tempted to buy it but that might make me pirate it instead if the jumpscares are bullshit
>>317783860
Playrooms and the New York house, right?
>>317782939
It'd would've been a lot scarier if it wasn't just a Haunted House type of game with no real impending danger untilthe wife shows up
>>317784209
Yes, among other things.
>>317783891
>>317783978
was jokin', Yahtzee is alright, but honestly the game looks straight boring to me
melee and shooting look clunky, hunting for clues doesn't appeal to me, and overall the art is... well, Yahtzee is no artist.
if I bought it, it'd be a one run deal I imagine, then I'd lament over my wasted money.
>>317775041
It's medicine brooooo
>>317784209
>>317783860
elaborate?
>>317784289
Considering it's a roguelike and fairly easy to die, it would be pretty impressive if you beat it on your first try.
>>317784181
>nothing "bullshit."
Anyway, a good example is, early on, you are entranced by a picture because it's the focal point of the room, cliche.
It melts and there's that insanity effect where everything goes haywire for a second before settling back down
You turn around and a wave of books that was previously on a side table flies at you from the center of the room.
It's shocks you, but has no negative impact against you and just surprises you a wee bit.
Also, no reliable torrents yet cause it's still an Early Access.
I honestly couldn't tell you why it's still in Early Access.
>>317783238
No. The plot of SOMA is that a guy in toronto with a bleeding brain injury goes in for a high tech super scan that might help guide his treatment plan.
when the scan helmet comes off he's in 21xx, the world has been destroyed by a super comet, the nanotech unconcious AI running the underwater research station has gone haywire, and the last bittersweet hope of the species is to launch a brain-scan ark of maybe fifty people into orbit.

Fuck that shit.
Can you guys recommend a relatively new survival horror game? I've been wanting to be spooked but I've already played all of Silent Hills. No action horror or visual novel shit like Walking Dead please.

Off the top of my head:

It has better ones though.

>>317783907
I remember one time i had sleep paralysis but it was really weird. I was dreaming but i was very well aware and i could even feel my ceiling fan breeze on my leg. The only problem was that i didnt fucking like what was happening so I freaked out a little and then in my dream it was as if I was talking to someone over a radio. The person on the other side told me that "we can wake you up, but you won't like it". After he said that i saw boxes with parachutes falling from the sky (kind of like in mgsv when you call for supply drops, but this was way before that. And there were a lot) And then I woke up, and the person was right, I didn't like it. I felt like shit. Then i went back to sleep
>>317781840
I remember having those when I was young. I wasn't being chased, rather, I was being enveloped/surrounded by a huge string of numbers and when I'd wake up I'd have a panic attack
>>317784002
Don't even remind me, I think I was a very courageous guy long back.
>>317784592
I only had SP once I guess one year later discovering about it, and how this helped me, cause when I woke up and couldn't move at all, I started panicking, feelling powerless and soon I remembered what I was experiencing, so I just tried to close my eyes and thinking about good things, but it felt like hell and it could be even worse
>>317777542
>The thing with these mannequins are that they're scripted not to move at any time, but will sometimes glitch out and start wandering around your house and looking for you, since their default script when not immobile is to trigger the action to seek you out and say "you need to leave" like the other NPCs when you force your way into their houses, but seeing as they have no voice files, they'll just stare at you with a blank expression since they have no faces
wow
bravo, Todd, bravo

I have a fear of humanoid giants in 3d games. Only humans, not monsters or whatever. I think silent hill 4 started it. Gwynvere in DS1 also freaks me out when you initially walk into her room and shes just a silhouette. I've also always been scared of going outside one day, looking up and seeing a fuckhuge face in the sky staring directly at me. Any games with spooks like this?

This guy was kind off unsettling. I don't know why the bosses in Wario World were so creepy
>>317784935
Yeah ive also experienced exploding head syndrome. Its not really like the name implies but it's almost as scary.
A few weeks ago i was lying in bed trying to sleep. And you know that one moment before you fall into actual sleep, where everything kind of just dissipates? Well as i falling the moment came, sweet sleep. Then FLASH. I was torn, ripped, taken, violently ejected from that place. It was horrifying. And as i woke and opened my eyes i heard what i can only describe as a buzzing sound in my head. and then the buzzing faded, and then I went to sleep.
>>317775425

Yeah there's no way in hell that guy is what's keeping the shark stationary. Large aquatic animals are stupidly goddamned strong, I mean fucking RIDICULOUS strength. Even a semi-large fish can drag you like a bitch.
Think about how hard it is to swim as a human being, and then look at the way these things propel themselves through the water. You're their bitch in their domain. The diver may as well be a piece of fucking seaweed.
>>317782914

You're both near the money. Sleep paralysis involves the mechanism in the brain that keeps you from moving based on what you're dreaming. So that you aren't flailing your arms or running IRL when you are in your dream, or rolling off your bed like a dipshit and hurting yourself. You can hallucinate in this state for reasons that I can't cite properly. Usually shit out of the corner of your eye, but it gets more intense. Basically you're consciously awake, but that switch is flipped to keep you immobile.
Some people have the opposite problem and thrash like motherfuckers in their dreams because that switch doesn't flip properly.
A lot of the old school myths about shit visiting you in the night like demons and spirits are theorized to have been based on people's experiences with sleep paralysis, which is terrifying when you don't know what's happening. Also attributed to Alien Abduction stories.
>>317785668
I had EHS once a few months ago. Every time I'd start to actually go to sleep I'd hear loud popping noises. Happened through the entire night, along with vivid horrifying images every time I'd close my eyes. Like the kind of shit that HP Lovecraft probably saw in his dreams; just indescribably horrific things.
I eventually just took some sleeping pills because I literally couldn't sleep without them. Hasn't happened before (well, the popping noises haven't, I've had nights where I see horrific images happen sporadically my whole life) and it hasn't happened since.
>>317785541
Wario World in general just felt.. Not right.
I dunno, you go in expecting one thing with the level and enemy design and it turns out completely different.
Blinx the Time Sweeper kinda felt the same way because the enemies look like they were designed during a fever dream.
Anyone know what I mean?
>try to sleep
>realize I'm conscious and can't move
>"welp, guess satan is gonna appear in my-
>creepy face blossoms into existence, heart feels like it's pumping like mad for five seconds, wake up
>>317781184
Anon, it isn't hard to give it a Google. Did you really think that there's no mechanism in your body to keep you from moving around in your sleep? Sometimes it doesn't work and you get sleepwalkers, night-terror thrashers, kickers, night punchers, all kinds of stupid shit.
Sleep paralysis is just being technically awake but still immobile. It's only batshit scary if you don't know what's going on. Also a well documented and studied medical phenomenon.
It can happen to anyone. Might happen to you one night.
>>317774269
I don't know why, but everytime I see this image, I think it's todd howard.

Best looking overhaul I ever saw for SoC, the added new weapons are fucking great as well.
AAAA
>>317786751
Never heard of sleep paralysis?
>>317779265
That's normal and has nothing to do with how much you may or may not sleep, calm down.
>>317781557
>>317781753
Necromorphs weren't scary. The Ishimura wasn't scary.
The sound design was scary. Combined with the necros and the ship, that's one of the scariest goddamned things I've ever played, IDGAF what /v/ says. Turning every corner felt like a goddamned heart attack with a headset on.
>>317783502
I want some Robert E Howard horror games. Conan's Hyboria has some goddamned terrifying shit in it. Running around in it as not-Conan just fucking trying to get some treasure or get to point B could potentially be nightmare fuel.
>>317787125
Try playing the game without hte music. IT really adds alot to the game when you can only hear the sounds of the ship and things moving, the music tends to cover it. Infact, I recommend this with every horror/immersion game, shrill violins are not scary.
wait stop hold up seriously what the hell is with that shark stuff that just happened
>>317780132
this guy knows
>>317777901
this reminded me of something...
Had a dream the other week that was so lucid I woke up screaming and I keep looking for things like it to happen in real life now because of how real it felt. Shit was fucking terrifying
>yfw you look away from the laptop because you think you saw something in your open closet
>think you see something
>only to realize after your pupils that it was just a bright colored shirt
>only to realize that closet wasn't open before
I get sleep paralysis regularly. Hallucinations have ranged from shadow tentacles wrapping around me to spooky faces yelling, to ghost sex.
It's not as bad anymore with the hallucinations. I can calm myself down and break out of it easily. It's a control thing, and when I realize I'm in total control, the fear dissipates and turns into power.
Imagine trying to break free from metal shackles, except you know you can do it. It's dope.
I dont know if anyone would find this useful but this is my experience.
Good luck to any first timers.
>>317788795
whenever I get sleep paralysis, I don't really hallucinate anythingbecause I'd already be living my worst fear
