Did any games ever give you nightmares

I had one recently about World of Tanks. My IS-4 was insta killed by some tier VI medium who was given ATGM's and FLIR.
I was never so scarred, and pissed at the same time.

A couple nights ago, I had a nightmare involving being chased around by a couple of monsters. One involved a eight-foot-tall behemoth visibly resembling a six-armed Hunter from Halo. But dealing with it was a lot like a couple of forays I had with some of the armed thugs from Batman: Arkham City (circling around a piece of cover to get behind an armed thug that actually knows I'm there). Even the eventual take down I performed on it was from B:AC. The dream ended with another encounter with one, coupled with something that looked like a rabid monkey which also had six arms and ran like a zombie from one of the many zombie games (I know I had specific name in mind, but I cannot remember which. I just know the zombie had a lope in its step. Tell me which game it came from). Before waking up, that encounter did not end well.
I spent my youth watching horror movies. The sounds of Jason, Mike, and Freddy gleefully slaughtering people were my lullabys.
Sorry, but horror games dont give me nightmares.

Anyone remember Dark Cloud? I played that pretty easily when I was like, ten, but then I got to the last level-- the Gallery of Time. Scared the fuck out of me. Something about the music and the aesthetic, a castle which became increasingly ruined as the level progresses and you travel through time.
Also, to a smaller extent, Majora's Mask. Ikana Canyon was pretty creepy.

If you got the Ranger DLC, there was an awesome heavy automatic shotgun that made short work of them. Alternatively, you can stare them down, and if you did it correctly, they would walk away.Unsilenced said:
On topic: Ocarina of Time, of all things, when I was a kid.
Yes, in real life I was stuck on a battle in Shining Force. It was the battle against General Elliot. Elliot looked like a pretty creepy fucker so naturally I dreamed about him.
In the dream, I was standing on top of my university. There was a very large gust of wind that pushed me off. I fell onto the ground and landed in front of General Elliot. He glared at me and then stabbed me with his sword.
Then I woke up.

It's not that they're hard to fight. If I had unlimited ammo they would be laughably easy. It's just nobody told me I had to spend every bullet I had on more ammo at the start of the chapter, so even with accuracy around 90% I was completely boned.fireaura08 said:
I once had a dream that Disney made a movie about Mass Effect 3. It involved a tiny, friendly Reaper (named "Reapsly") that had big cartoon eyeballs and a squeaky voice. He mostly flew around being making bad jokes and obnoxious pop culture references.
Does that count?

Pokemon and Zelda. I'm not even joking. I wasn't scared of the games, per se, but I would have these really freaky dreams (mind you I was very young) where it would be sort of like the game, but things weren't right. Lavender town was the bane of sleep when I was 7....
Tetris . Dat blue block man . Seriously . I played so much tetris when it came out on the DS i saw falling blocks when i closed my eyes . I slept so horrible that week .
Off-topic. Anyone else hates when they dream about an MMO and you get a super rare item or level nicely only to wake up and realize it was just a dream? Fucking hate that man.

Silent Hill 3
It's the only entry in the series into which I've poured any significant amount of play time, so obviously it gave me nightmares.

I've never had nightmares like that, but MLP Fim: Story of the Blanks (A little 8-bit game on Newgrounds) almost did o.o Christ that game freaked me out >.<
Maybe...
About three weeks after finishing Silent Hill 3, there was one night where I simply could not get to sleep. My mind kept wandering back to the blood-covered walls in the sewer and hospital, the Closers and their twitchy faces, the Slupers...yeah. It got to the point where I had to turn on the light and make sure I was alone.
Made the mistake of playing the Silent Hill Collection recently late into the night. Never again.
Now that I think about it, I think I may have had a slight nightmare regarding Silent Hill. Going through a neighborhood and everything was blood red and monsters were stalking me. Or I'm remembering part of the game. I honestly can't remember, it's been so long.

This right here freaked me out when I first read it, because my name is also Alex.217not237 said:
OT: My nightmares are traditionally combinations of several different "inspirations." I've had a crazy one which was basically a mix between Silent Hill and *Insert Zombie Game/Film here*. I also had another when I was younger one that was a mixture between Mars Attacks and Star Wars.
Nah, the town itself never turned red. Only the interior locations of Silent Hill 3.Sniper Team 4 said:
If it makes you feel any better Devil May Cry was originally Resident Evil 4 (then a prequal to RE, then just DMC) so don't feel too bad. It got a lot of the ideas that didn't make it into RE4, like the puppets.
And I remember having nightmares about Nemesis when I was kid.
