Has there ever been a moment in a video game that genuinely disturbed you?

Yeah. I know what you mean.Drakmeire said:
Also, the Splicers in BioShock are rather disturbing, what with their insane ramblings.
The part in BioShock where the splicer dentist sneaks up right behind you had me yelling fuck at the top of my lungs.
I must admit horrors and me are not a good mix as I am the jumpiest person in the world. I don't find them disturbing its just I spend the whole time on the verge of craping myself because it makes me jump whenever I have to walk round a corner and something moves.
I was very luck in the fact that my dad believed in desensitising me at a young age but I don't think it quite worked otherwise I'd have a bum of steel by now and be able to play these games.

Bioshock did make me very uneasy, hearing splicers talking, but never knowing where the hell they were.
Also, the baby crying in Max Payne, was very disturbing.

I remember being really freaked out by a scene from the psx game Galerians, it has main character Rion returning home to discover his parents have been murdered.
He opens the kitchen fridge and his dead mom tumbles out, her eyes wide open and a small clock stuffed into her wide open mouth.
The whole image was just horrible and bizarre.
The curious can see the scene here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOuKRfEXlBw&feature=related

This really does win by far. Most games do disturbing things in an attempt to shock or disgust the player, this game did it to truely flesh out the nature of one of the characters in an entirely subtle and tasteful way. That being said, part of me wonders why such a serious event was touched on in such a light hearted game.LiquidGrape said:
Bioshock: Performing the completely and outrageously screwed up whims of an artist who has decided that death destruction and general blood everywhere was awesome in a statue/picture collage. After having killed all the dudes he wanted me to kill and him trying to kill me as well, I received my prize for my horrifying actions... I then proceeded to shoot this artist/monster so that I could get the key to better loots. After stopping to consider this I realized how screwed up it all was, I then said I prayer for the souls of 2K's writers just to make sure that they weren't killed by the wrath of a morally righteous god before they had finished the next part of the Bioshock series. It really scared me.
Quake 4 and Doom 3 scared me because they were the first games to take shadows and lighting and create a horror film that I was the lead character of. Sure silent hill has always done this and had even more macabre enemies chasing you and attempting to murder you, but Doom and Quake are FPS; I was that poor bastard being eviscerated not some effeminate pussy with a handful of cliche' survival horror weapons in my overly large pockets.
Pyramid Head vs Doom Knight from Doom 3. I think we should all know the answer.

The only time anything genuinely disturbed me in a game, was in the beginning of Manhunt when you have to kill someone by suffocating them with a plastic bag. To some the idea of that may not be as disturbing as things in other games, but it was horrifying to me.
well for me bioshock was scary up untill you got the pistol.InFeSt121 said:when i first played through it i was scared shitless when the guy appears in the like mist in the docters surgerymskji said:.. as you say it wudnt be the same game without that fear that something was just around the corner.
