Oh if you love the gatling laser the more powerful variant of it resides in, guess what? The Deathclaw Sanctuary!srm79 said: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. 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.
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

By which I mean, Demogorgon.
Edit:
For sheer scare value, there was a (relatively rubbish) FPS called Ominous Horizons some years back.
It had a level set in Egypt. In this level, inside a crypt, were a number of statues lining the walls. When you looked at them, they were still. If you turned around, then back, they were substantially closer. No sound, no action... just the most claustrophobic nightmare imaginable.
You had to get through several rooms and corridors of them; I could not do it.

The Pinky Demons from Doom 3 always scared the hell out of me! It wasn't so much the monster itself that scared me, but rather the creepy shit that always accompanied their arrival.
EDIT:
Oh, and the BLOODSUCKERS FROM S.T.A.L.K.E.R.!!!!!!!!!!
These things still scare the hell out of me. I don't like the whole 'chameleon' thing they can do. They come out of nowhere and eat your face!

Samus X was the most terrifying thing of my childhood.

what game was this?Longshot said:That game was awesome beyond compare. Now I wanna play it again....Ithera said:I bring you the adorable Covenant family, surely you have not forgotten?
These mean old ghosts always put me on edge. Having Aaron hunt you was a terrifying experience.

ah yes the scariest shark in gaming, i was even playing that game just a few months ago and it was still freaking me outmechanixis said:
When I was little, this thing scared the SHIT out of me. He came after you every time you set foot in the water and was a far faster swimmer than you, so if you slipped off a cliff and found yourself far from shore, you were a goner. Not only did he want to EAT you, but he TALKED about it first. It was too much anthropomorphism for my young mind to take.
That is absolutely hilarious.Blatherscythe said:
I do have a freaky memory associated with that, I put him in a custom level, and when I killed him, an explosion that distorted the speakers occured and I died. It was extremely fucking scary.CynderBloc said:
The first time I experience true, pant-wetting horror in a video game?
It was when I first met one of these fellows:
The most terrifying enemy for me is still the V-rex from the King Kong game.
It's huge, unkillable and can kill you with one hit, it follows you around slowly usually while you are exposed with nowhere to hide from it and when you are playing as a human.... you have to play cat and mouse games with this monster.
I tell you, never before has another game enemy made me so anxious.

Resi4's Regenerators are creepy with thier gasping breathing, but the Iron Maidens are worse with thier spikes. Then there's Dr Salvador, U-3, Verdugo and numerous others.
Headcrabs and anything relating to headcrabs many a night my parents were worried about my terrified yelps as the fuckers leapt at me and squealed.
And when its detached head kills you *shudders* i didnt sleep well that night.MasterSteef said:
O-face.Blatherscythe said:Someone should really post a picture of "Ugly Shepard".ethaninja said:Any game that has a mirrored (probably evil) version of you. If you ask me, that is the scariest of them all. (epscially if its an RPG or something and you make your character ugly
Does Venom from Spider-Man on PSX count?
He creeped the shit out of me with his cloaking abilties and his tendancy to laugh before he randomly appear and *****-slap you...

F*ck yeah! (if you couldn't guess my opinion from my avatar)Enigma6667 said:There shall only be one TRUE answer. Ladies and Gentlemen: PYRAMID HEAD!
He's big, he has a giant sword, his hobbies include murder, rape, and beethoven, and HIS HEAD IS SHAPED LIKE A FUCKING PYRAMID!!!
First time playing RE:4, it was the section before the boss fight with the giant fish (Del Lago), my uncle, who'd played through, told me to stand on the dock and shoot at the water. So I did. Then the fish ate me, and I was really pissed with my uncle, and annoyed that I'd actually yelled "HOSHII--"
Then there are the Krill from Gears of War, those damned little hellions...
And when I was a bit younger, the Marionettes from Devil May Cry, especially the Bloody-types, they'd scream, string you up, then eviserate you.
Oh, and the Hunter, from Dead Space, when you have critical health; his execution [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZifGSXerAY&feature=player_embedded] was one of the most jaw dropping one I'd seen in that game.
