Honestly i feel like jumpscares are cheap.
I a game has good atmosphere you shit bricks the slightest thing.
Jumpscares are like masturbating to bad porn -
its a short burst and then you feel empty.

>>342154150
Gotta go fap now
jumpscares are not scary - they are startling. they should be called jumpstartles.
a horror game is supposed to make you feel fear, make you feel scared; not startle you.

It's a cheap way to create tension when there are much more creative ways to do it.

Fucking FEAR. That game did the shittiest horror.

>>342154150
Much like open world games, jumpscares aren't inherently bad
They're just often executed poorly
>>342155573
>taskmgr.exe
I like how no horror game gave me jumpscares for the last 2 years, but them, Journey comes and actually makes me jump of my chair.
Best game, tough.
Tell me a game in which jumpscares were done right and that had any replayability value? Protip, you can't. They only work once - when they work at all, and because of that, they are shit.
What's worse than jump scares are the equivilant things in action games which are meant to create tension but have no consequence to them at all.

Jumpscares do nothing but trigger a startle response in the player, giving only a very minor leeway into the potential of instilling fear. They're usually done as a last-effort means to keep a player engaged; it's practically the developer admitting that the atmosphere and plot are not convincing enough to genuinely keep the player scared. While they do have their place in games, building whole games around jumpscares is bad.
Spooky's House of Jumpscares does it well enough. At first it's nothing but jumpscare after jumpscare of cute little cardboard cutouts, slowly bringing you to a sense of desensitization and lowering your guard. Once it becomes monotony, the game introduces new elements into the game one after another until jumpscares become a relief to the drumming din of the potential of a monster slowly creeping towards you (or flying at you at Ludachris speed).

The problem is that the "scares" don't actually do anything, so there is no reason to be afraid and even still it is always too predictable. Literally every single person I know that played FEAR expected something to happen at the ladder because it was the first game we played that locks you onto ladders and it was a horror game.

PT had the right amount of jumpscares, considering it's length.

Le fuckoff. Western art is good. But holy shit do those published western smut comics have horribad art. Who the fuck buys shit from fansadox when they have one decent artist that does one story a year?

Jumpscares are good when mixed with atmosphere
>>342157348
Its bad when you cant spot the characters from another. Ferres for example can do only one face and expression.

Hey there!
This is Microsoft to ask if you've a false version of Windows 7! We detected that something might be wrong, and brought you to desktop just to check.
Don't worry about that loading screen that we forced you out of, there's no way it'll mess with your save file.
