It's okay, I can't handle that stuff either.
Last holloween I tried playing through Spookies House of Jumpscares and the little cardboard cutouts scared the shit out of me. The actually big deal ghosts were super lame, up until they combined the two. When that baby skeleton popped up during the ghost chase I had to uninstall the game forever.

I always interpreted it as some guy interrupting a station and trying to send a warning after finding out what's going on. He doesn't have time to fully write out details though.

>relies on both jump scares and extreme tension
One of the reasons Outlast is one of my favorite games desu
>>
>>342092365
The anticipation of a jumpscare is the worst part, but if I'm not expecting it and get a jumpscare it's not half as bad.
>>
>>342098305
Is that supposed to be a human being in the picture you posted?
>>
>>342098316

This.

In this day and age jumpscares are a necessity to make the experience exciting. If the entire game was just tension building the player would catch on and all tension would be lost. There needs to be somewhere for the tension to go and sometimes that means having something scream at you at the perfect moment.

Then there are games like FNaF where nothing but jumpscares eventually dulls the player to any sense of threat.

It's a cartoon Anon. They make them to entertain people.

I don't know, the first game had a pretty good atmosphere before the death animation came knocking at your door.
>>
>>342098691

I guess it depended on how good you were at the game. See when I played it I somehow got retarded and thought I was supposed to be watching the camera constantly and only looking up to shut the doors if I saw the animatronics come down the hallways.

I got desensitized to the jumpscares early.

Maybe they were a little more atmospheric if you didn't see them as often.

Wait, what? Are you guys telling me that's a real emergency broadcast? Is this some kind of meme? There's no way an actual emergency would say for you to not look around or stand up. There's no reason for it.

I was thinking about FEAR. Both fit.

>>342098540
>>342098782
I actually think FNAF is a brilliant horror game because of how it treats the jumpscares. Jumpscares aren't something that you go through by default because that's what you're supposed to experience, they're a failstate that happens if you fuck up, but if you know the rules and pay attention, then you can go through the game without a single jumpscare. That in itself makes the game more tense and heightens the jumpscare itself.

It's pretty brilliant and it's a shame that the fag that made the game started reiterating on them non-stop for the sake of jewing out.
>>
>>342100027

There is an ounce of luck. Golden Freddy showing up and killing you was completely random wasn't it?
>>
>>342100015
Couldn't really finish fear. Alma jumpscares spooked me too much.

Had no problem with Dead Spaces series though, since literally all Jumpscares are pre-announced by spooky ooga booga noise, and Isacc himself is also walking WMD.
>>
>>342100027
I'm fine with that since the only people losing out are faggot youtubers and underage shitskids.

I just wish he'd work on other stuff because he's pretty good at game design.

Yeah it's a bit of a mouthful, but the spooky bits are fun to have.

Like the Replica assassins and the Alma-hallways.

Also the weaponry is just fun to use.
