Games that made you Shit Bricks

[Darzen]

Shadow of the colossus made me practically shit bricks on most of the bosses. the final boss caused me to go into a frustration filled rage followed by a very loud battle cry when i finally beat it. The rest of the game slowly cause my brain to melt away and I think a shat enough bricks to build a nice little house with.

 

[Serenegoose]

System Shock 2.

Dead space was mostly just 'nicely tense' but the regenerator was terrifying to me!

That one time in bioshock amongst all the plaster figures. Turn around and... yargh!

 

[USmedik]

The original Bioshock. Even knowing about the ending, having heard about it from friends, it was still just something amazing, akin to eating a delicious bacon sandwich, garnished with bacon with a bacon flavored mayo substitute.

 

[octafish]

System Shock 2. Monkeys!

 

[SplashyAxis]

Condemned, but more specifically the part with the mannequins. I can still recall the nightmares.

 

[Kryzantine]

Minecraft, of course.

On a more serious note, certain parts of FEAR. Just a creepy game overall. A creepy game with good AI.

 

[BlumiereBleck]

Well I've I ever did that i would call my doctor and start a brick company. Well I really got scared when that bear in Condemned 2 showed up.

 

[Irridium]

In condemned with all the mannequins.


That scene. Holy shit that was scary.

 

[Irridium]

Condemned, but more specifically the part with the mannequins. I can still recall the nightmares.

Your a damn ninja, you know that? Anyways, watch the video above, its totally not one of the scariest moments in a video game ever.

 

[Ekonk]

Korsa - fuckin' - kovia.

My fandom of that mod is well documented, and I'm sorry to start about it AGAIN, but christ, it's just so fucking good.

And it made me shit multiple bricks. It made me shout denials at my computer. It made me curl up in foetal position and cry.

 

[Tattaglia]

Metro 2033. The Library. Those goddamn mutant gorillas freaked me the hell out. Sure, you could kill them, but it cost way too much ammo to be an effective strategy. It also didn't help that staring them down did absolutely nothing, even though it was recommended by NPCs.

 

[theComposer]

Amnesia: The Dark Descent, and I only played the demo.
Portal, when you walk through a portal for the first time.
Team Fortress 2, when the community was nice and worked as a team.

Below you will find a transcript of my thoughts while playing the mall level in Condemned.

Doop-de-doo look some mannequins they're gonna come alive I was right whack-a-de-bums oh now I'm being followed by the mannequins kind cool acutally but I already wrote this in for a horror story of my own so it's kind of underwhelming so what's in this room here--

*Amityville Horror voice*: YOU'RE DEAD.

--...oh, that's kind spooky but I'm okay with that and HOLY SHIT WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT'S THE MATCHMAKER?!

And later, on the very next level:

Lalalalala where are you mister torturer oh there's the gym teacher guy whack-a-de-bums oop he's in the locker yeah he's totally dead wait you want me to zoom in oh I know something's gonna happen--

*Beat*

--Huh, I guess nothing OHMYFUCKINGJESUSMOTHERFUCKINGWHILLIKERS AND THE MONSTER WITH THE DESKS AND THE LUNCHLADY AND SWING-BADA-BADA SWIMMING POOL FUCK!
____________________________________________________________________________________________

EDIT: (credits for having good taste if you know which game this is)

Doop-de-doo round the hallway and what the Hell who turned out the lgihts and now I can see but how did all this water get here and what's that splashing sound and I'm gonna get on this crate in case it's fish and look someones coming around the corner and--

*Splashing abruptly stops*

--Oh. Shit. It's right there. It's looking at me. It's looking right the fuck at me.

*beat*

I gotta go sit on the crapper for the rest of my life now bye.

Ok, if are talking fear factor, only one game ever had me looking over my shoulder AFTER I finished playing it; the first Fatal Frame. That game was creepy as hell! Yea, using a camera for a weapon sucked, but that didn't dim the atmosphere any.

Now, if you are talking frustration factor, then I can't tell you. I currently have the ashes of said game in an urn over my fireplace where I can point and laugh at it on a daily basis.

 

[Imp Poster]

Resident Evil. Movement was slow which made me feel like targeting was slow, always ran out of bullets, and those dogs still scare me.

 

[Master10K]

Condemned, but more specifically the part with the mannequins. I can still recall the nightmares.

Same here, minus the nightmares. That level in the game was pretty damn scary because any mannequin could be an enemy, so I went through it smashing all the mannequins I could see. There's a part towards the end that's particularly "shit your bricks" scary.

 

[Judgement101]

Persona 3. All I heard was "I sense a strong presences, it must be Death." I went on thinking it was a metaphorical thing. Next thing I knew I was fighting something called "The Reaper". It scared the hell out of me.

 

[Kenko]

System Shock 2. Monkeys!

PSI-MONKEY'S!!! Hated those bastards. First time I saw one I was like...ooooh nice monkey, how did you end up here, here let me gi-ARGH OW! SONUVA! *Empties what little ammo he has into the monkey*

Spoilers asshole? Im not quite done with it yet....

I'd say fear and dead space's ending. I wont spoil it like asshole above, but, it's really good. i can't wait for dead space 2.

The Roof and Basement of Brookhaven hosptial in Silent Hill 2. If you've played it, you know exactly why I feel this way
