Gaming moments that make you panic.

[Ima842]

In crysis 2 when I ran out of energy in the middle of the Battle (every battle)

 

[Assassin Xaero]

Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth:

"Why, I'm just going to go ahead and sleep in this fishy hotel in Innsmouth. Surely nothing will go wrong as long as I lock the door, right?"

Seconds later,

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

That. Too bad the game was pretty bland shortly after getting out of Innsmouth (or what I've played so far).

Happened on the night right after I put the new sign up. Haven't even tried to solve this problem yet, might just build a new house.

(hint: look at the top window carefully)

I will remember to NEVER leave my door open when I go off again.

Usually during chase scenes in various games... When I'm the one who's being chased, of course.

Sonic drowning theme, almost threw my controller down and shut my gamecube off first time I heard. That is my definition of panic in a video game.

 

[Johnny Reb]

whenever i have to go into the ghoul infested subways in Fallout 3, or the zombie/vampire infested caves of Oblivion.

I know that some people don't find them scary but i really dread entering them.

 

[FairlyFrightenedFeline]

Whenever you play Amnesia The Dark Descent

urgg, I hated him and his blasted well. First time I found his room I just stood there for a while. Then I got near one of his hands. Pure nightmare fuel DX

 

[Urgh76]

Anyone who's played this agrees with me no matter what

Rugrats A search for Reptar.

THE FUCKING GOOSE

 

[Dunstann]

THE FUCKING GOOSE

HAWWWWWWWWWWWW!

I remember that and the boogeymen.
My sister had to play those levels for me! MY SISTER!

 

[Drop_D-Bombshell]

Leeet's see. Oh! In Doom 3, when Pinky pops up. I'm trying to get away and Pinky is just there mauling away at me. Not my favorite moment, but it does make me panic.

I remember my first encoutner with pinky. As he was trying to break the door open i was sniggering and making fun of him thinking that i was safe. Then he smashed through the glass and had me cornered. I swear i wet myself that day.

My recent moment was in Fallout New Vegas.
I was sneaking in cave a full of deathclaws. Everytime I moved my HUD displayed caution.
There was probably like a dozen deathclaws near my face.

In the words of the great Kevin(1811)...

'Aww, bad luck mate!'

OT:

Erm, MW2 twice in the final mission, I thought I'd screwed it up when you went over the waterfalls and when Shep. smacks you on to the car roof.

Also whenever I go around in the early morning after dawn on the Escapecraft servers. I open my little hole, and see a Creeper.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...

[small]I haven't died yet though![/small]

EDIT:

Quote the Claymore, Nevermo- I mean *click*

I used to panic, these I have just enough time to regret running through that door between the click and explosion.

Yup, times ten...

 

[SageRuffin]

Seeing my subtitles at the bottom of the screen say [Hunter Warning!].

And, by extension, hearing a hunter's blood-curdling scream of rage.

 

[Marik Bentusi]

Picked up a harmless Sentry Gun in Portal 2, I think it was falling down due to everything around me collapsing or so. Thought I had saved it from its fall into nothingness. I gently put it back on the flo-BOOM!!
Suddenly it just exploded. I did NOT see that coming, made me spaz out a little. Cheap scare, but it worked.
On the other hand, the intentional crushing of a Sentry Gun before my eyes (along with the way I was supposed to walk on) didn't touch me at all. Huh.

 

[Retronana]

Running like hell from a rage mode Rathalos in monster hunter tri. The fear he'll cheap combo you is far too great to even attempt to hit him.

 

[ohHaiGuiz]

The last missoin from the Crysis 2 campaign...Ceph...Ceph everywhere.

 

[Exocet]

Metro 2033, when I have a shitty gun like a double barreled shotgun or bastard and I'm SURROUNDED by nosalises...

When that happens to me and I know I just won't survive,I whip out my knife.I do not recommend doing it against a *****,you will die before even getting close enough to shank it.

OT:Call me easily spooked,but when I first got Diablo 2 when I was 10 or so,I couldn't get past the first map,because the combination of mutilated zombies,angry spine hurling devil porcupine,and creepy music made too uneasy.
So yeah,when I got through the first act and came upon the second act's final boss room and saw nothing at first,I felt confident with my awesome lighting+frost scimitar.
Then that ugly bastard Duriel charged at me at what appeared to be hypersonic speed and had his way with me.I was so panicked,I litteraly couldn't fight back properly.

Needless to say,I now pay him a visit once in a while with a level 99 character and pimped out stuff.Fucker will pay forever.

In Pokemon, when the last guy on your team is JUST about to die and you have no potions/revives left.

Pretty much any FPS, if I run into an enemy close range as a sniper, I just freak out and start firing everywhere. usually works.

And while this didn't make me panic, (it was more of an "OH SHIT" moment,

Spoiler

In Portal 2, when Wheatley sprigs the "suprise" on you early, during the final boss fight when Wheatley booby trapped the stalemate button, at the end when GLaDOS deletes Caroline, and at the very end, right before the turret choir.
