>>332086613oh I was thinking of Doom 3, didn't know those games had jump scares in mirrors too D:
>seemingly empty atrium area
>enemies aren't truly dead until you dismember them
>>332084874
Name one game that does this.I'm sure that I've actually witnessed this before, I just can't think of any examples/.

It's usually when something like village has been wrecked or some shit. One example that pops to mind is that one village early on in Tales of Symphonia which you help rebuild.
>>332085860
The only legit jump scare that's actually spooked me.
>big door
>lots of ammo and health
>backtracking through a known area
>music stops
>there's nothing
>not even enemies
>continue to next area
>still no music
>still nothing
>open door to enter another area>"STARS"
>>332087005
When I made the post I thought of Deus Ex, but now that I think about it the music changes when you're already well aware that you won't receive a warm welcome in UNATCO HQ or downtown.
>>332085502
>enemies follow you to the save area and make it so you can't save your game.

Cave Story?
>>332091025
What the hell was the point of that anyways?
>>332082562
>>332083556
>that moment when you realize the room IS the enemy
>>332091242
Probably to fuck with you.
>>332091242
You could see it as a "always be on your toes" kinda thing, but nothing like that ever happens again. The totally-not-nightmare eyeball doesn't appear anywhere again.
>Enter a new area
>Only one lonely NPC
>Talk to them, they trade items like normal

>>332085860

>>332091568
Like the fake doors in OoT?
I'd give mad props to devs clever enough to get some psychology tricks like that into their games.
>>332087005
OFF is one of those games. (BUT AREAS AREN'T SAFE)
>>332091542
Okay, what is this?
>>332091542
what game does this?
>>332092046
I never liked either of those features in vanilla Stalker. Especially the PDA bleeps.
