What is the most spooked you have ever been in a video game?
>>319341479
when I played kim kardashian hollywood and realised I want to buy designer bag in real life
i'm a guy btw
>>319341753
>realizing that you are a gigantic faggot
You should be spooked, you probably have aids
>tfw no neurotic gf
One of the Silent Hill games, not sure which, the first or second.
>Find some long ass staircase going down into the ground in the middle of nowhere
>while walking down super loud and deep roar or moan comes from the bottom
Not that big of a deal and I may not remember the details of where or what game, but it happened and it scared the shiiiit out of me. I just could not go down those stairs until after a week when it was light out.
>>319343475
probably the Silent Hill Historical Society in SH2. There were a couple physics defying stairs and bottomless holes
>>319341479
Played this as a 7 year old. Because of this scene I never picked up the game again.
>>319341479
Condemned was the only game to give me a feeling of paranoia. Every noise could be another psychopath running up behind you to hit you with a water pipe.
>>319345146
Good thing you never made it to the interrogation rooms. That was the closest thing that I have ever felt to a legit heart attack.

That part in Alien vs Predator 2 where a whole bunch of aliens rush you to the vehicle after investigating their hive.
I played it again recently and it was a piece of piss. However, when I first played it, it was dark, 3am, and I was 14.
Screamed the whole way to that fucking APC.
They managed to make Dead Space 1 pretty creepy once the monolith shit starts happening.
Other was that one vault in... Fallout 3 I think? The one where psychedelics were released or some shit and people went fucking nuts. The computer logs are eerie as fuck and made me shiver.
Remember that part in RE when dogs jump trough the window?
I cant remember when i was so (jump)scared from 2001 till now.
I don't know if anyone has played Freedom Fighters but everytime a helicopter would show up this music would start playing. Also helicopters are fucking scary in that game.

AVP1The first time you hear a facehugger scurrying around somewhereIt's already too late
This game right here, year 2002 when I played it, those spooky catacomb levels, horrible memories still to this very day!
>>319346801
That's why I always blow up the helipad first.
Also the OST of that game is godlike.
When I was like 16 our computer was right near the sliding glass door at the back of our house. Well I was playing Amnesia which wasn't terribly scary to begin with, but I was being chased around by some monster when all of the sudden there was a loud fucking banging and a flashing light out the sliding door. I threw off my headphones, ran out of the computer room, through the the living room, dining room, and up the stairs.
My dad saw I was playing a horror game and decided to take a strobe light and go out in the deck to scare me.
>be fairly relgious when growing up
>playing fable on the orginal Xbox again but thsi time i'm being an evil cunt
>max out my evil meter or whatever it was in that game
>go to a chapel that was for fable's equivilant of Satan
>offer some gold in the chapel
>hear a demon whisper to me thanking me for the offering
>suddenly the whisper gets louder and much clearer almost as if someone was in the room next to whispering
>unplug power cord from xbox
>don;t touch fable for 3 days
>>319346801
Everyone should play Freedom Fighters.
Anyone remember harry potter and the chamber of secrets game? I remember getting pretty spooked being in the woods section and outside at night.
>>319341479
First time i got to the water section of Amnesia.
It was like 3 am, i was wearing headphones and as i slowly realized the monster was invisible and following after my splashing i got more and more frantic to get the fuck out.
Worse is after the initial jump scare/surprise of its introduction...was going into the area that had you chased by multiples of them while you had no choice but to run through a series of doors you had to open and slam closed...only to hear them slam open behind you.
The little girl yelling was real that night.
>>319346884
I hate facehuggers. I remember buying a shitty PS1 game. Probably the last PS1 game I ever bought that was set in the Alien universe.
The graphics were completely shite, even by the standards of the day and the game was pretty mediocre.
The facehuggers were still terrifying.
>Nothing
>Nothing
>Nothing
>Shuffle...SCREE!!!!
>>319347064
literally triggered
>>319347294
fuck those water monsters, those things scare the bejesus out of me.
the part with the "no running" with the brass bull got me good.
>>319347769
For real, the stuff you cant see is always more scary. The real "monster" became kind of mundane...but those water guys...fuck that
Wolfenstein: The New Order. Not really 'spooked' as much as 'Jesus Christ. Oh boy. Ohhhhhh boy. Oh no, he's not going to -yep oh ok that just happened', when there's the flashback scene, and the young private gets he skull drilled through and his brain removed while he was still alive. Those fucking screams, man, holy shit.
On a related topic, what horror games can /v/ recommend me? I'm not a massive horror fan - and the ones where you can't really fight back in any sense don't really do it for me - things like I think it was Outlast, I played for a bit and there were a few jump scares, but nothing really made me feel uneasy or on edge.
>>319347064
Who /penumbra/ here?
>>319347064
>>319347562
beep boop
To this day I still haven't finished the Ocean Spider House in Majora's Mask.
Fuck spiders. Fuck skeletons.
Had no idea they would sing

>>319347769
>>319347956
Why'd you remind me?
>first realize water monsters are there
>OH SHIT OH FUCK OH GOD
>the part with the doors where you have to turn around and see the fucker's footsteps like 5 feet from you before you slam the door
I didn't ask for this. Also the first time you actually see a monster and you're supposed to hide in a closet, then sprint out and run to the door before he catches you. Fuck. I hate jumpscare bullshit but that game made you feel powerless. I might reinstall it now.
Oh that reminds me, how's the sequel? I bought it and haven't played it (lol Steam libraries)
>>319347562
Oh fuck, what's this from? It's right on the tip of my tongue but I can't quite get it
Skulls are probably the most unnerving thing I have experienced in a game.
>safely extract Miller
>play mission again, purposely get seen by skulls
>ohshit
>unrelenting, all teleporting and shit
>legs start shaking
>quit out
>>319345740
Goddamn, fuck that part. I didn't trust it at all the first time through
>>319347545
>>319347545
you mean this one?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KW2IQrfci0I
honestly it's not that bad of a game for a doom clone.
>>319350587
South Park, Tweek VS Craig
>>319350693
Yeah but then you realize Snake can push their shit in with CQC
>>319351384
Oh yeah, the shop class teacher's dead wife. The live-action South Park things always throw me because there are fewer than 1 per season.
>>319341479
playing silent hill 2 at age 11 or 12. even in broad daylight, i could not fucking handle it. got to the apartments and had to stop.
to this day i still haven't tried it; my only experience of then game was watchinng my brother(who's now my sister)play through it. but he played it a dozen times backwards and forwards, so i know every bit of the game. Just can't do it myself. The fucking atmosphere and music are too oppressive and give me the insane jitters.
>>319345146
oh jesus me too, i was 5 or 6 watching my bro play, fucking traumatized by RE2 in general
>>319341479
Any screamer makes me shit your pants. They're not fair, they're not really "scary" in that I'm afraid of them, just humans are programmed to get startled when BIG NOISE and SUDDEN CAMERA CHANGE TO MONSTER or whatever.
>>319341479
>1998
>12 years old
>grab brothers copy of Resident Evil Director's Cut
>play it late at night because mom doesn't approve and bro is a fucking snitch
>intro alone makes me almost shit my pants
>>319352785
play SH1 if you haven't already.
>>319353154
It's on my to-do list. Is it one of those weird games where you have to turn around on the spot to change directions?
>>319341479
>Stay up until five in the morning playing Eternal Darkness
>Enjoy spending time with low sanity meter
>Not entirely spooked by the game at all, but love it anyway
>Decide to go to bed
>Decide to get some water before going to bed
>Look downstairs
>No lights on
>Somehow, be so used to the sounds of Eternal Darkness and be so sleepy that the sound of the 'baby crying' sanity effect is echoing from downstairs
>"Nope. Not THAT thirsty."
>Go to bed
>>319341479
>Stalker.
>Lab X18
>the ambiant noises just send me into a paranoid mess.
>so scared I cannot even go down the stairs.
This is why I have never finished stalker
>>319341479
Is that the chick from Breaking Bad
>>319346281
Man fuck that part.
>>319353808
X18 is some of the most unnerving fucking ambience ever. Play with sound off, lights on, looking the other way with friends in the room.
>>319353271
Yeah it has tank controls, but you can move and attack at least, also most enemies are easy to dodge.
>>319353776
You should try taking a bath anon
>playing 11th hour as a kid
>that one cutscene where the woman's face warps into some kind of monstrosity
>>319353776
I was too young the first time I played eternal darkness. To this day I still am a bit uneasy in bathrooms
>>319350582
Sequel is meh.
It has a lot more unsettling sounds, but so far its like the opposite as far as scares go. instead of that slow sense of dread they go straight into the HOLY SHIT SCARY NOISES non stop for a while until it becomes so commonplace you dont even care.
Soma is supposed to be more unnerving than scary, have yet to give it a try.
>>319343068
>first step on the ladder, thinking this is vidya games
>second step, no way those legs and reflections look too high detail, must be a pixar movie or something
>next 2 steps realise its reality.
that was weird.
During Alien Isolation there was a minute when I experienced actual legitimate life or death terror. My heart was beating like I was about to actually be murdered and I forgot it was just a game for a bit.
>>319341479Undertalespoilers
>>319341479
Silent Hill 1, I always played it in the dark, what spooked me was the 4th floor elevator button in the hospital
>get to hospital
>meet Bachman
>go to elevator
>2nd floor is a dead end
>go back, hit 3rd floor
>another dead end on 3rd floor
>dafuq, now I gotta go back to first floor?
>get back into elevator
>elevator panel has 4 on it
I was 9yrs old at the time, and I didn't want to go to the fourth floor, to this day I get a little uneasy when I get to that part.
>>319355918Honestly this is my favourite part of the game
It's a bit edgy, but it just came out of fucking nowhere, finally seeing them, the music, it was great.
I always got the shit scared of me by those knights in the hedge maze in ocarina of time. I hate going through a bunch of corridors with charging enemies. The well in the painted world in dark souls also scared the shit out of me. fucking bonewheels
>>319353808
When I was leaving that place there was a fucking Pseudogiant near the stairs to the exit, but there were some human enemies there fighting it. The was only one guy left and the Pseudogiant chased it into another room and I ran the fuck out.
>>319341479
Return to Castle Wolfenstein
The goddamn catacombs level.100% SCARED
>>319355143
I'm at the part right now in the first one where I know the big spoopy monster is going to appear where I have to run between rooms and lose him so I can get out of the library and I'm too scurred to progress. Send help.
>>319347992
If you can, emulate and play some older console titles for the traditional survival horror experience.
Personally, I'd recommend checking out Fatal Frame, and Forbidden Siren. But give R:E and SH a shot too.
>>319352785
Shock is an integral part of being scared.
A lot of jumpscares are lazily done though, so they feel cheap. I don't think there's anything wrong with a good build-up and jump, or even something that catches you off-guard, as long as it's done well.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESvgZi8gE3A
The last one and funeral room one really caught me off guard the first times I encountered them.
Arkham Knight. Man-Bat scared the fuck out of me.
>the piano
you know the one
also when i got attacked by a much higher level in deadman mode on oldschool runescape. died
>>319341479
The Vanishing of Ethan Carter
>whole game is devoid of life
>arrive in the mines
>first NPC in the game saunters around the bend with his creaky ass lantern
I was already a little spooked but then the fucker had to teleport.
>any stalker monster
>>319353776
>Playing Eternal Darkness for the first time
>cast a healing spell while insane
>characters upper half explodes when the spell is complete
>FLASH
>this...cant be happening!
Scared the fuck out of me.
>>319361168
The most spooked I have ever been in a game was in Shadow of Chernobyl when you encounter your first controller in that tunnel.
>clearing out lab, experience untold horrors throughout
>get to what must be the end, a long tunnel that looks similar to the one I entered in
>As I get to the entrance of the tunnel, I see a man-sized figure step across the corner on the far side
>Assume it must be some zombie or a leftover soldier
>It turns and faces me
>FWOOOOOO PSHHHH
>AHHHHHHHH
Is there a good deep sea horror game yet?

>>319341479
when i first played Resi 2 I had to play it on mute because those zombie sounds were terrifying.
Beats the hyperactive screaming zombie shit we have today.
>>319355439
If you get that playing on a screen, you'd probably dies playing it with the Oculus Rift.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1Sn-Sr61zU
This game spooked the fuck out of my when I was younger. Anyone else played it?
>>319361106
Does that game have good story/gameplay? The ghost-shit seems a bit silly.
In call of cthulu dark corners the game opens up with a crazy guy talking and then hanging himself with a book next to him
The next scene is a detective looking through the book and investigating it I guess. He closes it shut and the Initials on the front read J.P.W
..my initials
>>319355918
Nice filename
>>319361553
there needs to be more enemies that can fuck with your head like that.
>>319363802
I enjoyed it. It is very much a walking simulator though. Besides fairly simple puzzles, good atmosphere and a pleasantly voiced narrator, there's not much to it. Also the ghost-shit is the whole story.
>>319362963
I played the demo, but could never find a copy to buy. loved and played it at least half a dozen times.
>>319362308
ARK has ocean BS and a deep sea element that will be getting updated and i have to admit, shit's kinda scary facing off dinos in the deep likeMegaladons, there's also plesiosaurs and Liopleurodon
>>319346801
yis
