Has a video game ever truly unnerved/scared you?
>>336967679Undertale, after the Toriel fight. I did the first thing that came to mind by slowly hitting her to get to a point I could spare. Reloaded afterwards and did it the pacifist way. Apparently someone was watching.
Alternatively, playing through the two Library missions in Halo when I was 6 was pretty creepy at the time.
This scene got to me when I first saw it. They managed to unnerve me twice in the same case when another variation popped up out of nowhere.
>>336967679
resident evil legit scared the shit oput of me when I was 5. We just got a PS and I used to hire it out from teh video store. The part at the very start where the dogs jump through the window was scary asf back then

>>336967679
tfw you will never play a full game of this
The baby crying in Max Payne 1 when Max fights in his apartment.
Shadow of Chernobyl got me. The broken sound which made enemies seem really close to you, even though they were far unnerved me.
>>336967930
Faggot.
Amnesia: The Dark Descent.
Specifically the portion with the invisible water monster. Scared the shit out of me.
Regenerator in RE4
Specifically the neck bite attack from off the floor combined with music that first encounter is horrifying. And people say RE4 isn't scary.
I was watching my friend play one of those Brothers in arms games and theirs a level with ghosts that creeped me out a little
lots of games tend to make me weirdly paranoid when i play them alone
the obvious answer is the haunted house in vampire masuqerade
bloodborne has been fucking me up a little lately too, but once i know an area the feeling goes away
Fatal Frame 2. One of the best horror games ever made.
>>336967679
Silent Hill have such athmosphere they scare me shitless.
Nothing else topped it. Closest thing was F.E.A.R. and even them I was more in awe at the awesome mix of urban, horror and comfiness
>>336969085
my nigger .. still creeps me out thinking about it
>>336968963
It was the most promising horror game in years. Now gone...
Portal. I used to have a huge fear of falling. A lot of the big jumps made my stomach feel weird, not even from motion sickness
>>336969304
yeah it had such an athmospheric change it takes you by surprise
specially with that music, oh gawd
>>336967679
Polybus only because government shit is scary.
And RE1 when I was a kid.
>>336967679
why, my penis wenis of course!
>>336969426
>mfw watching my next door neighbor play that when I was 8
The first item I picked up in Irithyll Dungeon and that massive scream that came after is spooked me to no end, I was honestly scared.
This fucking part.
As far as I can tell, the true part in VLR that genuinely unnerved me.
You finally capture the guy who you're positive is trying to kill/fuck everyone over, but only come back to find him fucking dead. Then the dread sinks in when you realize there's someone else.
this
>>336969187
Double faggot.
playing old games/dead games is unnerving for me
just walking around and knowing nobody else is playing feels lonely and scary
The opening sequence to BioShock. It's a shame the rest of the game didn't keep surprising/unnerving me like the beginning did. I eventually just grew accustomed to the atmosphere.
Spec Ops the line unnerved me quite a bit
PT
RE3 Nemesis scenes, but more anxious than scared.
RE4 first chainsaw dude, abd regenerators
Amnesia
FEAR fucked me up good, too
>>336967930
This was the point that really first drew me into the game
basically all of STALKER
>>336967679
What a coincidence, I just watched/played Unedited footage of a bear and saw a pretty good dissection of it
>>336967679
Since you have a bear...
Condemned 2, the bear scene. I nearly shit myself during that.
>>336968963
What game?
>level starts off spooky but nothing terrifying
>"meh this isn't that scary"
>ten minutes later
If only the whole game had this kind of feel
>>336967679
>Hub world void of any npcs apart from the dead granny who gives you tip and enemies
>DK graves everywhere
>npcs barely have any voices
>Those two giants faggots in a pocket dimension who eats all your bananas to become fat and open a boss door
>GET OUT
I felt like i was playing a Beta the entire time despite finishing the game, there's just something uncanny about the whole game compared to every other games Rare made.
This really got me, and I still don't exactly know why, but it's probably down to SS2 being the first horror game I played properly and the atmosphere fucked with my head a bit. The only time I noped out of a game.
legit started shaking when after I decided to see what would happen if they saw me
linking the various coincidences between the plot of MGSV and the kojinami fallout
Believe it or not, Black Mesa nailed the atmosphere in the right places. I was purposefully walking through the beginning areas of Questionable Ethics because I was afraid of what was around the corner, even though the original HL1 wasn't anything to fret over.
It also helped that I had low ammo/health in that spot, too, so that just ramped up the tension more.
Siren Blood Curse is the only game that has freaked me out.
>>336974291
My nigga.
>>336967679
Just that fucking pokemon mod, shit dude. That thing had me freaking out all weak
That one jump scare in the first mission of CoD 3.
>>336974879
What the fuck is this?
>Okay Anon! You get to pick one game!
It's a boring answer but SH2, 3 and 4. Other games might make you jump or feel in danger but there's nothing like the constant pressure those three games put on you. SH3 is the only game I've ever had to stop playing mid-session because it got too much.
>>336974997
A video game, Anon
>>336974964
Which mod?
>>336975121
Yeah I love SH3. The oppressively horrifying atmosphere is top notch
>>336967679
Only at the begining. After that you get too used to it for it to keep going.
>>336967679
i got metroid prime when i was 8 and for the next three years i had to keep my door open at night because i thought the half-dead space pirates from frigate orpheon were going to come into my house and slaughter me and my family

>>336975276
But the burgerpants thing is not part of the real game, though.
>>336967679
PT
>because I actually experienced something similar to this
I ain't touching that
>>336967930
The UndertaleOmega Flowey fightgenuinely unnerved me because I played it very close to release, and didn't know it was coming.
Shit freaked me the fuck out.
Same goes forSans, but for different reasons.
>>336975670
DETAILS
More of an unnerving than scary moment, but this part just abruptly pulls you outta the game and speaks of a very real issue. The world within the game even seems to fall apart, code floating in mid air, Fortune deflecting bullets, and the city people not giving a shit about two military guys standing in the middle of the streets.
Wut gaem
>>336967679
Bioshock really freaked me out, especially when they first introduced the spider splicers. That was until I realized that none of the enemies were an actual threat, though. Bioshock Infinite would have been GOAT if it was all as unsettling as this version was, or if it was entirely like the asylum level
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5it-pAYmKY
>>336975685
Also, the LISA trilogy as a whole.
got somewhat unnerved by dead space 2 when it came out and also Outlast scared the shit outta me. too bad now im desensitized to both enough that neither game, nor any like it, will scare me
>>336975725
>getting ready for school at 8 fast forward to me taking a piss before leaving I see a black shadow trying to grab me in this very bathroom
>you can't make this shit up
I've had sleep paralysis and the same creature or shadow speaking weirdly.
>>336975039
I get an looming sense of dread whenever I see that game. I remember buying it as a kid, but it must have really fucked with me because I don't remember anything about it.
>>336967679
atmosphere is usually the one that scares me in horror games and not the entities that hides behind it.i already lived in a house that was a former emergency clinic in world war II for 9 years, ghosts and their shenanigans doesn't bother me.
>>336975956
I also used wake up in all high school years at 3:00 am on the dot >>336975725
>>336975762
This just reminds me that I need to play MGS.
I haven't played any of them despite owning the first three and a spinoff.
Did anyone play that game Prey? You play as this native american faggot who has to save humanity from aliens. Watching people getting abducted and falling prey to the machines on the UFO scared me way back when it first came out. I think I played the demo on my fat 360.
Alternatively, the Prison in Amnesia scared the absolute shit out of me.
There is a part early in Condemned 2 where you open up a mirror cabinet and close it. Then theres an enemy behind you. That made me lose my absolute shit.
The knife ending of 999 got me pretty good.
The entirety of Alphys' real lab unnerved me quite a bit. ThoughFlowey remembering I killed Toriel sent shivers down my spine
Never played PT because it got removed. Wish I had got the chance.
Oh and the giant metal shark/fish thing from Banjo Kazooie made me piss myself
>>336975685
>Have acrophobia
>Mfw playing through Demon's and Dark Souls
It's literally filled with cliffs and other bullshit of the sort
>>336975576
>starting your post with ">be me"
>>336976243
>that "shortcut" in 2-2
I don't even have acrophobia and I hated it, too. I think I died to that more than flamelurker
P.T is the most terrifying game I've ever played. The fear of the unknown of what's around the corner and stalking you basically is horrific IMO.
However ironically Alien Isolation I was totally chill with, never was that scared at all ever.
>>336975984
It's time to remember, Anon.
https://youtu.be/T-15l3kROIQ?t=1m36s
>>336976243
The heights in those games trigger me hard
This shit was freaky up until the zombies. Then it just got annoying, but It's not like they could have left the whole level empty.

Are there any genuinely scary games? Stalker had its moments but that was mainly from immersion, not from being a game that's supposed to scare you.
>>336974692
This. The water area creeped me out. Weirdly uncanny game.
>>336967679
playing the dead city level in metro last light at three in the morning. that level legitimately freaked me out.
oculus + alien isolation = nope
>>336976483
HOLY SHIT FUCK THAT GAME
>I never even beat it because it would scare my shit so hard
Anyone played this? It's pretty good. It's not super scary but it has that Japanese horror film type feel.
>>336975576
>be me
Well who the fuck else would you be?
back in the day and age of not having a LE LOUD NOISE to set up a spook
The Suffering 1 and 2 were fucking terrifying, I'm sure SOMEONE else on /v/ has played that godly horror duology

Yes lad... or the bit where you keep having flashbacks and you need to run towards the sound of the baby crying.

I have no mouth and I must scream really unnerves me
I got so spooked by the zombies that come out in Hyrule field at night in OoT that I stopped playing it for almost a year.
I guess I was around six or seven at the time.
>>336978759
I made it a mission never to be in hyrule field at night
But the true terror is those wallmasters, that is fear incarnate
>>336977970
>Emulating games available on PC
>>336967679
STALKER when you first encounter the mutants with psychic powers.
Then again when your in that lab and there's random debris being flung at you.
>>336979078
Yeah. The Forrest Temple was scary as well, but my friend and I struggled through it together.
A mission in Hacknet made me required toinduce a heart attack in a guy. I could refuse but that would not be cool due to contextSo basically, an old guy has several heart diseases and is in constant pain. He's been fitted with a pacemaker but he wants to die, and the doctors refused to euthanize him. His family tried to help him die but they failed and cannot do it anymore, and so, one of the family members had the idea of contacting the hacking group you are in and surprise surprise you got the mission.Due to it's nature tho, you can refuse it due to how fucked up it is and what a sudden change and shift it is from the general mood of the game.You need to hack into the pacemaker developers' company site and get a program that is supposed to stress the pacemaker as in to check out if it works. If you run it on the pacemaker, the person will finally die of a heart attack. You need second access to the pacemaker itself for absolute admin rights tho.It's fucked up
>>336979108
Try to get this running on a modern pc.
Honestly searching through this menu before even playing the game frightened the shit out of me.
Maybe I was just too high but I cant be the only one who was hesitant to start playing this thing.
>tfw no peanus weanus
You've fallen a long way, /v/.

Thanks anon, dodged a bullet there. Does gog's battlespire version works?
>>336982756
fuck no, in general you're gonna want to browse the forums and check first if the games will run or not, especially if it's one that is already notorious for not working on modern systems
>>336967679

Fuck, Will I need to biuld a Retro comp? Or just install Dos and windows 95 to play dem games
>>336967679
The original Silent Hill
Thats the only game that scared the shit out of me. Also Strider for the Genesis blasted my fucking mind as a kid. I am sure it left some long term damage.
>>336976003
>ghosts and their shenanigans doesn't bother me.
did you experience a lot of that?
>>336976109
Friendly strong suggestion anon. Play them in order, original PSX, Sons of Liberty, Snake Eater, Guns of the Patriots.
If you must, at least watch a complete playthroughs untainted by stupid streamer or lp narratives. Actually experiencing them directly yourself is infinitely better, of course.
Though I enjoyed plenty of things in Peacewalker and MGSV is a beautiful mess, I'd rather they have not been made.
>>336974692
holy shitt I remember when you open the door to a boss and is all dark and shit. It scared me as a kid.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYnBtMIZ91w
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DP0iOTftfhc
it was a tough time to be a kid
999 actually gave me that same feeling I got from when I was a kid where you speed walk to and from the bathroom at night out of some unknown fear. Kinda strange but it was nice to feel that feeling again.
>>336974723
These guys had the same effect on me as the redeads in OoT. Really unnerving to the point of dreading having to fight against them
>>336985405
Holy shit. The Robocop 2 one isn't too bad, just unsettling and yeah could disturb some kids.
But that Alien 3 one, FUCK. I'm used to the SNES which is a different kind of creepy. But then that classic sampled quote: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_3pkxiM2Us
Also, the music in that Genesis version as the chestbursters come out. Pretty cool.
>>336967679
The entirety of Condemned 1 and 2, but the bear scene and the mannequins especially.

That one part in Oblivion where you go into the basement of Anvil's Lighthouse. It's that weird sound playing in the background that got me uncomfortable.
>>336975685
Fucking this. I really thought something was at stake during the fight. I really felt like I had to win. First time a vidya actually had me like this.
>>336974558
boku no silent hill: Kojima edition

Cool, dude.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xe56h5JNodQ
STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl, that atmosphere when exploring the underground labs is still unmatched to this day
Silent Hill 1 was pretty dope but Silent Hill 2 was the GOAT. It has unmatched music, atmosphere, story, etc. One other game that I feel is noteworthy is SCP Containment Breach. The rouge-like elements and different types of monsters are awesome. Most horror games now are shit tier walking simulators with no combat like outlast. SCP probably falls into this category but I enjoyed my time with it. Horror games now are often not scary, just retarded jumpscares.
>>336967679
I yawnquit thrill kill because it was so edgy and pointless.
>>336975436
Metroid Prime was scary man
>Mfw the lights went out in the laboratory in Phendrana drifts
>What is it like to be afraid?
Best atmosphere, sound, and psychology in a game ever.
If you allow yourself to get into it, SS2 is fucking terrifying
>>336978023
Yeah, the gameplay isn't that great. Still worth a try though for people who like Japanese horror films.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLeS7PA3Zns
>>336987984
I really do need to play that game and Deus Ex. I've only got up to a certain point for both of them.
>>336988767
The hell is this?
>>336967679
The horror genre is seriously lacking these days. I just want a game (or even a movie) that terrifies me, but knows when to pull back.
The creators always either fail to scare me shitless, or try to do it so much that it becomes the norm.
I just wanna be spooked, is that so much to ask?
Only a very small handful.
Most nowadays aren't capable of scaring me, only startling me.
There's a difference between horror games and jump-scare games.
I wish I could play scary games but I'm such a fucking coward I can't do Dead Space.
>>336988767

I did too for the longest time. Probably the same parts as you. Once you get past them, it's addicting
>>336990672
I know this is probably some kind of weird contrarian bait attempt or whatever, but yeah. You just listed the order those games take place, chronologically in the series timeline.
While some of these games provide enough story background at their start, or mission briefings, the series is notoriously convoluted in its world details and character backgrounds.
So while some of them could serve as nice starting points for anyone with a passing interest in the series, and wanting to check it out...
...to fully understand appreciate how each installment was developed, based on previous ones, to see the surprises and reveals delivered as they were written, see how technology and game design progressed, etc etc. means playing them as closely to the order in which they were made and released. It's pretty simple and proper when you think about it. The idea that you'd get some kind of greater narrative cohesion or appreciation playing them in timeline order is way off.
>>336967679
Yes.
That game was the DayZ mod.
That first hour or so I played was by far the scariest game play experience I had in my entire life. REmake, Silent Hill 2, FEAR, STALKER, nothing hit as hard as those first few goes at DayZ for me.
