Lights off Sound at max, preparing to MST3K whatever actually manages to scare me. alot of my friends had to play amnesia with someone else around because they're weak mided fools.
Well actually I turn my Air con way up, get the room all nice and cold, then lights out, sound up and yeah, sure does create an awesome atmosphere. Especially with Amnesia The Dark Descent
Dead Rising is a horror game in the same way a cod is a mammal.NewYork_Comedian said:
OT: I always prefer to play games in a well lit room because it works better for my eyes, but I always play horror games alone at night with the sound up so yeah, it is a no brainer how you get the biggest scare out of them. Playing it on PC using a good gaming headset so you get a better feel of the sound is always preferable for the whole experience.
Sometimes in a well lit room simply because i get scared by horror games anyway so i don't need the added darkness.
I'm never the screamy "Oh shit i have a bag of milky ways!" kinda guy. I'm one of guys that just gets silently terrified...
If you don't get the above reference it's dangerous to go alone take this

A pair of some good headphones, lights on, sound up, wrapped in a blanket.
I would play lights off, if I didn't miss every key on my keyboard in the dark.

I've been stuck on Penumbra for over a month since I couldn't figure out what to do in this one part where the dog's got me cornered in a big room. The narration suggests I pile stuff up on the door, but this supernatural dog just smashed right through it all. Now, of course, I know what to do---but I'm really hesitant to boot the game back up 'cause it is seriously scary. I tried to go back to it recently and was dreading it the whole time, and breathed a sigh of relief when it crashed upon trying to load my save.lRookiel said:
So I suppose that'd be praise for Penumbra, yes.
If this helps, what you're supposed to do is hop up on a box where the dog can't reach you and take potshots with the hammer. I've yet to try this; it's an extremely nerve-wracking bit.lRookiel said:
You'd bet I play them as intended! Wait until it's the dead of night. Lights out. Put on the headphones. Make sure no one's around. And, before actually playing the game, avoid looking up information on the game as much as humanly possible. Don't want to spoil the terror for me, now do I?
Now, I just gotta avoid playing TF2 long enough just so I can finally get around to playing Amnesia and Penumbra...

When I played Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth, I played with the lights of, my heavy curtains pulled shut, and headphones that blocked all else out. I ended up so engulfed I drew elder symbols on the back of my hands...
Lights go off, and sound goes up.
Also, I always play horror games at night just so I can get into the mood that the game is taking place in, makes things way more interesting.
Although, when I played Amnesia the lights went right back on after my first encounter with a monster.
