Mine would have to be Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Creepy atmosphere, lovecraftian horror, and well crafted story? Sounds good to me.
What's wrong with SH3?Fox12 said:The only thing I don't understand is how the same people that made that could make Silent Hill 3. It's like making Lord of the Rings, only to turn around and make Disaster Movie.

I have to defend you if anyone does try to murder you, which they shouldn't. The game isn't good if your expectations are Amnesia The Dark Decent 2.0, but the story itself drives you forward and it has some really interesting social commentary. I'm not going to spoil anything though, see for yourself.Werewolfkid said:I am going to get murdered for saying this given all the negativity surrounding one of these game especially on these forums in particular, but I loved both Amnesia The Dark Descent and Amnesia A Machine For Pigs equally and I loved them both for completely different reasons. I loved Amnesia The Dark Descent for its ability to make me like one wrong move will result in me dying a horrible, painful death from a horrible unknowable evil and I loved Amnesia A Machine For Pigs for is bizarre, symbolic, and monstrously disturbing story built on the creepy aspects of steampunk and the atrocities of real world events.
Amnesia The Dark Descent had a good story, but it felt too safe and predicable by the end. Amnesia A Machine For Pigs did not feel scary as it's predecessor mainly because of the game's over eagerness to tell its wonderful story gave the player way too much comfort to really feel terrified. If they make another Amnesia game I want the dread and fear that Amnesia The Dark Descent gameplay had to offer combined with a deeply disturbed and thought provoking tale like Amnesia A Machine For Pig story had to offer. One can hope, but for now it is back to playing custom stories for me.
Wanna have fun with RE4 or Dead Space?GodzillaGuy92 said:All right then, if nobody else is gonna say it first, fine: Resident Evil 4. Yeah, yeah, that's the point where the franchise started shifting away from horror to action and was easily the least horrific Resident Evil until the next two sequels came along, blahdeblahdeblah. Don't care; as one of the unfortunate people who hasn't yet played Silent Hill 2, Resident Evil 4's abounding collection of other strengths remains more than enough to propel it to the top of my list of favorite horror games in the meantime. Plus, it's quite a bit scarier than many people give it credit for - it's certainly got a much better understanding of horror than most of the few modern games that try much harder to be scary (namely the Dead Space series). It's just that 1) it limits the horror to certain sections that alternate with the lengthier action-oriented ones, and 2) Resident Evil 4's scary moments lose most of their horror after you've already played through the game half a dozen times or so. Which you did, because that's just how good the game is.

Personally, I agree with RE2 and also I was really scared playing the SCP containment breach mod for half-life. I have a feeling it would get more routine the more you play it but for the first time it is really scary. Depends on your tastes though. SCP-173 is an interesting enemy. Most scared I've been in awhile, and I played Slender, which to me was just really, really, REALLY, annoying.
