What are some good games that aren't horror games but have some really disturbing/scary sections?

Bloodborne
>>318082892
It does? Elaborate a little without spoiling too much. The game is horror themed isn't it?
Metro series
>>318082780
STALKER trilogy.
>>318082780
Max Payne comes to mind
>>318083128
it's an action-RPG foremost, just like DaS and DeS before it. It just has both western, "transylvanian" horrors and some Lovercraftian spookies mixed together.
>>318083281
this
>>318083676
That sounds pretty interesting desu. I might finally get that PS4 after all.
>>318083676
do the souls games and bb have cool and interesting monsters?
>>318084962
Yes, ds2 less so.
Dead space
I'm not even trying to shit on the series, I love it. But it's just not scary enough to be horror.
Besides that, the visual design and gameplay are bretty good to be honest, bruv.

this
stalker was marketed as and fps with rpg elements and everybody who grabbed that game expected exactly that. Unless you spoiled the game for yourself, you will not know about bloodsuckers, the labaratories and such.
>>318085858
How do people go into a post apocalyptic game not expecting spooky shit
>>318085956
>stalker
>post apocalyptic
>>318085956
stalker isn't really post apocalypse. the entire premise that justifies the zone is because there is normal life going outside of it.
>>318086096
>>318086215
Ah, true. I'm a fucking idiot. What would you call Stalker's setting?
>>318085410
Oh my god
>>318084962
demon's souls and BB both have multiple areas that are dedicated to unnerving/creeping out the player with their environment and enemy design. They aren't horror games, but they do put in the effort to throw strong horror elements in the works.
DaS (and especially DaS2) don't do this, they're more about generating a "melancholy" tone than an oppressive/fearful one
>>318086365
I am not an expert but STALKER is one of those "prison-society" works. What qualifies such a work for me is:
> takes place in a small part of its universe
> this small society is bound to some sort of special set of rules, environment, people, anything.
> there is some interaction and dependance on the "big real world" outside of this society
> big parts of the work are spend focusing on the life in general in that society and not the plot or characters.
>>318082780
Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines. That one fucking place everyone who played the game knows about.
>>318086096
>>318086215
it's not post apocalyptic in a technical sense, since the outside world seems a-OK outside of the Zone, but since the player only ever interacts with the Zone, and the Zone is stylized as a post apocalyptic setting, the difference is a bit pedantic
>>318085858
They were all over the game marketing and trailers before it came out.
>>318084962
As somebody that likes a lot of enemy diversity in games and fantasy creature shit I'd say yeah. Like >>318085147 said Dark Souls 2 doesn't as much since it's mostly humanoids but it still has some fun designs.
>>318082780
thief, any of the 3
>>318085410
what the fuck? do people get off to this or something?
>>318082780
>Max Payne games
>Batman Arkham Asylum (also others a bit)
>Stalker series
>Thief series
>Dark Souls series
>Return to Castle Wolfenstein
>Quake series
>Vanishing of Ethan Carter
>Half Life 2 or series (first one is more of a horror game, second one not so much but it's still weirdly creepy for me and I played every horror game out there)
>Metro series
>>318083128
You tell me
>That part in DaS1 where you fall into the pit full of chaos eaters
>>318083128
It has a shitton of horror elements without being an "outright" horror game.
Also it has a very nice transition from rather "ordinary" horror to more inexplicable stuff.
The whole blood thing helps dampen the mood, usually. It's not overly gorey (there's a few designs that might work for certain phobias), mostly just bloody.
>>318089346
I can't tell which part of BB's setting is meant to be more horror-inspired. On one hand, the Beast/gothic horror segments are very gruesome, and most of the NPCs that are involved with them get very bad ends. On the other hand, the Cosmic Horror segments are dedicated to ticking off every possible environmental-related phobia one by one, and are filled with evil experiments and shit
>>318085410
can imagine waking up to a bright light shining in my eyes blinding me, then hearing his or her voice laughing uncontrollably as i try to squirm free from the ropes tying me to a operating table
>>318089641
It's a mix of both, hence the slow transition over the course of the game.
>>318085410
What fucking language is this? I can hear a few english words here and there but it all sounds like nonsense
>>318089768
Is there any other setting that seamlessly mixes Cosmic and Gothic horror like BB does, and does it good, like BB does?
Pathologic or I have no mouth and must scream
>>318090061
I Have No Anus Cream is pretty much a horror game.
>>318090027
I don't know, I'm not big into horror.
>>318088046
FUCKING THIS
Master Reboot
>>318082780
Vietcong tunnel missions disturbed me as a kid.
>yfw playing Thief: Deadly Shadows as a kid and you get to The Cradle
singularity
someone post THAT camera webm
>>318090367
And if you were born a little earlier, you would have played scarier levels.
>>318090429
Singularity was pretty spooky in the beginning then turned into a neat shooter with some annoying enemies.
