Scariest Moment in Gaming?

Oh I...mmm....those damn ants...I....*shakes head.* I just recently seriously got into Fallout 3 and those fuckers piss me off so much. The sound they make drives me crazy. Have you been to grayditch? I won't say anymore in case you haven't, but that section...I had more jump scares because of those...and I died SO many times.The Wykydtron said:
As for scariest moment...I have to agree with the OP because that's as far as my scary gaming goes, the dark cave in Fable 3. I just can't stand playing horror and scary games. I tried playing Bioshock because it did seem really cool...and quit within about ten minutes because it was putting me too much on edge. But I can watch playthroughs with little to no upset.

EDIT: Still in production? Aww...
One time in silent hill 2. Walked into a room I already thought I'd cleared. I let my guard down. Walked though a door into a bedroom.
Suddenly the camera angle changes, the radio static hits me at full volumn and there's a nurse stood right be side the door frame.
FUCK EVERYTHING AND RUN!!!
Never jumped so much in my life. Fuck that game, it's too scary for me.

The zombie squirrel level in Conker's Bad Fur Day *shudder* ...the rest of the game is silly and hilarious but you get to that part and everything changes. The only way to kill them is a shot to the head (duh) and they walk slow until they get close to you, at which point they rush you at a speed that makes it damn near impossible to aim, steady, and shoot. Unless you're lucky. Not to mention, the noises they make are the creepiest noises I've ever heard in my life. All in all, I think that's the most difficult part of the game along with being the scariest.
Hey I heard you don't like Giant Ants. Let's ease those fears by giving them flamethrowers and set the quest in a dark fuck off metro station! DXScreamarie said:
They always have more range than I think they do. That quest is the only time I use grenades, given the chance I would nuke the damn place from orbit. It's the only way to be sure...
There have been many moments in Video games that have flat out terrified me, hell given me nightmares for a month, and made me have to turn on a light and stop playing
Like Diablo or Resident Evil or even the Crypt in Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance and the new one especially (fucking screamer)Or that creepy Hotel in Fallout New Vegas props to the sound guys.
But you are asking for the scariest. So okay here we go.
Resident Evil 3: In the Police station knowing that the Nemesis could easily break down any door and get in at any time really had me tense, and wouldn?t you know it he picks a window instead.
And after your encounter with him in the restraunt or office building. God those streets were creepy and that music really got you on the edge of your seat paranoid.
Might I also mention that The Nemesis was my hero for a whole year lol.
Next!
Silent Hill, Monkey thing that manically laughs as it chases you. I don?t know why but that is a legit fear of mine. Something shorter than I running at me any which way it can while maniacally laughing because it just knows it?s going to catch me and it is amused by your running away in terror.
And 3rd... Almost all of Silent Hill 3 well as far as I got which was right past the train station and was wandering all these little corridors, went into a little wrecked up room and heard this creepy little giggle and stopped dead in my tracks and said screw this I am turning on a light and leaving this house.
Edit: Oh! and even though it's not really a gaming moment I still feel the need to mention something that has pretty much traumatised me since my discovering it.
The Water World music from DK3!!
Jebus christ that theme is some of the creepiest stuff to come out of a 2-D platformer. And yes it and the escort level have affected me in real life when it comes to swimming in lakes.

Ahhhh I remember seeing LittleKuriboh's playthrough of that section. I still crapped myself in a couple of moments. Not even Marik making a screaming confession that he's actually gay made that scene less terrifying; funnier but still as frightening.Fr said:
OT: My personal piece of horror at the moment was one of the Mass Effect 3 missions.
Horizon. The Ardat-Yakshi Monastery was pretty creepy but with everything that happened on Horizon, it made it seem worse.
every single time i encounter a new reaper abomination. i piss myself a little more everytime i see one.
either that or playing horde mode and seeing literally forty formers come around a corner and the only thing between me and them is a piece of razor wire

I tend to lean more towards fight than flight, when it's optional. More fun to strike back at the thing using your friends' bones as a toothpick, glowing red eyes now fixed solely on you, even through walls, than to run away knowing it'll just keep coming until one of you is dead.
That said, the creepiest moment I can think of

The credits in Arkham City, where Joker, now dead, starts singing.
Unnerving partially because it's someone you very recently watched expire, (unless that was Clayface finishing the act?) partially because it sounds like he's saying "I'm going to round up everyone you've ever cared about and hack them apart while you watch before I start with you." and mixed up the words a bit. I imagined his sickly corpse-face the whole time.
That, and all the little hints (as I interpreted them) throughout the game that Scarecrow will be the main villian in the next game when all hell breaks loose. There were things suggesting fear all over the place, perhaps just as detail, like the "THE TERROR" on the screen in the theater where you fight Clayface. There were more, but that seemed the most portentious, I think, the words looming over "Joker" and Talia in climax of the story, as if creeping up behind them. Then of course, there's this.
Thinking the next game will be a mess of mind-fuckery. Should be fun!

THAT moment in System Shock 2. I literally just sat in front of my monitor paralyzed.
And Silent Cathedral in Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver. That music, haunting atmosphere, and weird vampiric spiders really freaked me out. I was so relived when I finally left that hellhole.
Captcha: blood type, hmm
