Everybody is talking about Resident Evil and Silent Hill. What about things in games that are scary and annoying? Remember those hands in the original Legend of Zelda that, once touched, would take you to the beginning of the level? I think they brought them back in later games of the series... But I remember when I saw them in a room, I would get a little scared.

I couldn't really choose at first, but I knew after only eyeing the game for a split second.
When I was younger, this was the scariest shit I had ever seen.
The Anthropod from X-com Apocalypse.
Who knew a big, blue alien cookie monster would be so scary.

During battles, it looks ridiculous.
And this:
The god damned autopsy/research art

Barnacles from Half-Life 1 and 2. Even after death they are highly unnerving, since a glance does not always let you see if it's harmless or not.
for me its the pinatas from viva pinata. They scare the crap out of me; as soon as I played the game, I pissed my pants.
If you're after a similar experience, or at least as close as you can get in that genre; You should play Demon's Souls.Spitfire175 said:Dear god, no! It took me 5 years of intense therapy to sleep at night because of that... Thing.KjellKanon said:From Diablo.
If you've played it, you know what I'm talking about
The Butcher!
It's the only game that I felt the same creepy feeling from as I felt when I first played Diablo.
It's a hard feat to accomplish.
This. To this very day, I can not play any episode of Duke Nukem 3d besides the first one.canadamus_prime said:
I used to play the other episodes with the complete map view on if I thought that there might be a slimer around. One time, during the map Going Postal (which have the most of those fucking things on any map aside from The Queen), I thought I had cleared the whole thing and turned the map view off. THEN RIGHT AT THAT MOMENT arrgh. You know the pond in Inhiding, the first map of episode 3? I used to empty my RPG twice (Dnstuff ftw) before going in.
STALKERs X18 has nothing on Duke Nukem's 'The Incubator'. I mean just look at it! The first minute of this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHSMIRZxpt8
I hated those things as well. Then I found out that the Metal Blaster (souped up Laser Rifle from the Pitt) actually works really well against them, provided you get the opportunity to sneak crit them, or have lots of AP.srm79 said:
My personal choice definitely has to be the Regenerators from Resi 4. The Infrared Scope is probably one of the ultimate godsends of my gaming life.
i played the first mission or so...like a half hour in..and man i haven't picked up that game in a while, some freaky shitincinerate94 said:Necromorphs from Deadspace. Deadspace is still the only game that ever really scared me. I have had nightmares about that game.
(ill have to play it soon with all lights on and windows opened)
Fast Zombies from the Half-Life 2 saga.
Nothing scarier than the reanimated, skinless body faster than a car rush at you screaming the creepy wolf-like scream.
And all enemies from the Penumbra series.

When it comes to the first monster that scared me in a videogame, that would be the eels in mario 64. They scared me so much that I skipped the water stages as much as I could.
Now a days I tend to stay away from the horror genre of games, though that term is starting to confuse me, as I see more and more movies that are labled horror and aren't scary in the least, like Frailty. So when it comes to my current scariest monster, I would have to go with the two legged colosous's in SotC, just because of the shear crap your pants huge they are when they're right next to you

Every-Fucking-thing in Ravenholm that moved. I was jumping out of my skin and pressing the trigger key every time something twitched.
That, and LAG. Nothing's scarier than facing down a Tank in L4D 2 and BAM! Spontaneous Laggage, Teleport to the next county, DEATH.

The zombies from the Shalebridge Cradle in Thief Deadly Shadows. My friend always went on about this level being the scariest he'd ever played, so I bought the trilogy. It didnt have the same effect on me, since he told me that the first half of the level has no one in it, so it wasn't as creepy since I already knew.
However, they were still terrifying. The way they make no sound themselves, but instead make all the lights flicker where they are, and the way they spasm and move around. Also, knowing the story behind the Cradle and who the zombie were also added to the complete and utter terror I felt wandering around.
I genuinely screamed when, while I was happily picklocking a door, I turn around and see a zombie charging towards me in complete silence. I spammed flashbombs and just ran.
Some things are scarier when they don't make a sound.

Kintaro from MKII, i used to stand behind the sofa and play it.
I don't know why. It just made me feel safer.

Gatling Laser goes through them like a knife through butter. It's just the sheer number of 'em at Old Olney that makes it crazy. I have yet to venture into the Deathclaw Sanctuary.Kitsune_Bi said:I hated those things as well.

Maybe not needed after it's been out so long, but gameplay spoilers below
I also discovered that while the Deathclaw control gadget that the BoS give you is pretty useless at Old Olney, if you have decent Science skill and can hack higher level terminals, it works a treat at Adams AFB if you unleash the "tame" Deathclaws onto the base
Something about the fish monster that you kill with a flamethrower in Call of Cthulhu freaked me out. Those fish monsters are so unnerving...
And regenerators. The first time I encountered one, I shot it's limbs off, then it JUMPED IN THE AIR AND LATCHED ON TO MY NECK. A TORSO ATTACKED ME. Man it really freaked me out. I blasted that fucker till my shotgun ran out of ammo.

It really was a creepy level, but the Shadow Temple was even worse: the way Navi would stop you every ten seconds to tell you about the "bloody past" of Hyrule. I'm actually really surprised I played such a freaky game as a kid!Fenreil said:
In fact, I'm really surprised that the ESRB rated it E, when Twilight Princess was nowhere near as traumatizing but managed a T rating! I wonder what rating a remake of the game would garner in this age of overprotective parents and a stricter video game ranking system.
