Things in games that make you physically uncomfortable?

[Shifty Tortoise]

Nearly every moment of Amnesia makes me uncomfortable, but in a good way, the way it's meant to be.

Running into an unexpected sex scene while playing on a big screen tv with the rest of the family in the room. I'm looking at you, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.

So awkward.

I feel ya, and I also hate captcha D:<.

The game bayonetta. Just wow i felt embarssed i bought it. I felt embarrsed i was playing it. Its like i went to buy a game and got a porn or how people in japan call there Hentia just manga.

Just wow. terrible game. Never again will a buy a game that says its just like devil may cry. i'll stick to devil may cry 1-4.

...you do realize that the overblown sexuality was supposed to be a joke, right? It didnt make me feel uncomfortable, except when it had me laughing my ass off

Spiders, roaches, or other insecty-things.

 

[SkyeNeko]

God of War meanness. and anything above a kiss on the cheek because my parents usually pick this time to walk in. *cough* i remember the first time my dad played GoW 1 he kept fcking the whores in the beginning. That was awkward.

Sexually intimate scenes in video games are never fun to watch. I don't fondly remember that scene where the big bad in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood makes out with his sister. Incest aside, it still looks wrong.

Being defenseless or otherwise too weak. I mean the whole problem there is there are no fixes or ways around it. take amnesia, You don't think I would have grabbed a pole or board to carry with me? I mean my first emotional reaction was fuck this guy I am going to break out this window and go sit outside until someone finds me.

I forget what the name of the level was but the end of the level in MW2 where your running on rooftops. No weapon and what feels like a shit load of militia behind you is scary. I can never build up the nerve to turn around and see if there are even any AIs.

I don't know about physically but Gygas from Mother 3 certainly left me uncomfortable

 

[Sn1P3r M98]

Spiders. Fucking spiders. I'm looking at you, Overture.

Also, those wall human things in Dead Space. Seeing the tentacles come out of their chest and hearing their terrible screams... The first time I saw one I literally said "What the fuck?!"

 

[Sn1P3r M98]

Spiders, roaches, or other insecty-things.

Oh my God, this. So much this.

I fucking hate any insects. Damned FNV and those mantis things and radroaches...

 

[Hiphophippo]

The library in Metro 2033. Staring those librarians in the eye and hoping they didn't try to kill you.

and until now i thought i'd blocked that out.

brilliant game though

Aeka's route in <url=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/326.135672-Neutral-Drow-reviews-A-Drug-That-Makes-You-Dream>A Drug That Makes You Dream actually made me feel sick with dread. There was a point in the last third of the route when I would start each in-game day with that sort of sick feeling I hadn't felt since being bullied in elementary school, that never went away until I was sure she was safe and hadn't been attacked...and even just remembering the time I had to keep her from committing suicide makes my throat constrict.

I've felt shades of that protectiveness in a few other games, but that was the first and probably the strongest time.

Also, there was a point in <url=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/326.148564-Neutral-Drow-reviews-Little-My-Maid>Little My Maid where I actually felt guilty to the point of nausea.

Wandering The Wastes in Fallout 3 and any mines in Minecraft.

Any second, I expect to hear the explosion of a Super Mutant with a Missle Launcher or a Creeper...

[HEADING=1]Ssssssssssssss[/HEADING]

Most 2D sprites in 3D backgrounds.

Also, the ending of Silent Hill 3.

That's a "Shit Brix" picture, you know. It's got Herobrine in it.

 

[Blue_vision]

Fellow Escapists, is there anything in games that can actually not feel well?
For me, it's being hunted by a unkillabe enemy. In Dead Space, there is one enemy, aptly named the "Hunter" that can regenerate it's limbs, so it can only be slowed. Made worse by the fact it can travel through vents, like most creatures in Dead Space.

I hate this, but it's part of what made the game so freaky!

I usually don't like it when games fail to give you the simpler moral choices. For instance, on my second playthrough of AC, I had an enemy yield to me during the second last memory sequence, but found that I had to kill him to move on. I was so angry that I just stopped playing.

Kane and Lynch 2, finding Xiu in "A Thousand Cuts" made my skin crawl.

 

[Dango]

Oh yeah, there's all of the Dark Ones mind tricks near the end of Metro 2033, and helping Cohen with his "masterpiece" in Bioshock, tat part still creeps me out...

 

[Boxi]

The Purification in the Dark Brotherhood quests. Some of the best characterisation led up to a sickeningly emotional experience :S
