he is quoting another thread i did in that now everyone's judging me and thinks that Im immature and need to grow upFrybird said:I'd like to get that...reference?iBagel said:It was almost too easy.Scott Maunder said:you just had to didn't youiBagel said:I really hate it when you enter a room and switch the ceiling fan on and suddenly this strange white powder starts falling from the fan and gets all over everything
For me, mostly to know something (jump)scary is about to inevitably happen but not knowing WHEN EXACTLY...
...it's really a delicate balance thing, as Games like Doom 3 and Dead Space easily swayed into the "too predictable" territory once you play for an hour or so...although at least latter one still managed to get some actual surprising scares after that
which im not and I have

I meant that thread as a joke, not for people to ride up in their high horses and tell me off
When the game begins trying to mindfuck you.
MGS2 : Around the end of the game when the colonel starts "malfunctioning".
It wasn't as scary as it was disturbing. :s

I usually don't get scared when playing games, it's more of getting startled than anything else.
What I hate is getting ambushed by swarms of enemies that you can't hear coming, example the chainsaw wielding women from Resident Evil 4. They would seek up behind you and decapitate you before you knew what happened. In Half-Life 2, the Ravenholm level really put me on edge, because you would suddenly be swarmed by headcrabs and zombies, and it would always be when you were low on ammo, or on health.

AvP and AvP2 marine campaigns, consistently had me spraying rounds into wall panels, power cables (that one in the first level in particular) spinning round firing at doors closing/opening for no reason.
Then when you finally see an Alien it was one long incoherent 'WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHGETAWAYFROMMEYOUBIGBIOMECHANICALBASTARDDIEDIEDIEDIEGIBBERGIBBERGOTTA

the way we now seem to be expected to pay eye watering prices for a new game and then find we need a metric tonne of DLC and non-free updates (i.e stuff they used to see as part of the game you already paid for) to actually get some fun out of the game.

oh yes and then the publishers wail and scream when you take the only sensible option and buy pre-owned. infinitely scarier than some collection of pixels on a screen.

Timed sections. I get really really stressed out and start playing terribly.
Also underwater sections. The underwater section in Half Life Opposing Force is the worst thing ever.

Either a count down type section to the game since I hate being under pressure (unless it has alot of time to it) or in horror games those creepy sounds you can heard but cannot see the cause of it until it is upclose to you (e.g. The Regenerator from Resi 4).
Probably good sound and music in horror games/scary sections of games.
Or, in some cases, the lack thereof, which can be even more creepy if done right.

The "scariest" moment I recall in a video game occurred in a game whose title I don't even remember. I know it was survival horror, took place in a prison, and there was a sequel.
Anyway, there was a part very early on where you're wandering through the empty prison, and you can check out security cams. When you do so, one of the cams is of the room you're in, and you see yourself from the back. It shows a monster sneaking up on you, and when you panic and back out of the cam....there's nothing there.
That moment was pretty awesome.
The second biggest "jump" I've gotten was because of a small glitch in Bioshock. I was wandering, came across a tape recorder, listened to it, and when I turned around to leave, there was a splicer standing right there. Like right up on me. Not attacking me, just standing there. That was creepy.

The only creatures I remember truly scaring me are the Hunters from Resident Evil.
Despite the quiet footsteps, they are true to their name as in they're sneaky, fast and strong bastards. They can take you out in 2-3 hits, so if your health is running on yellow and you're not fast enough, they take your head clean off before you even get the chance to say oh shit.

Frostbite spiders. Motherfucking frostbite spiders.
At least the modding community got rid of them for me

Sounds like The Suffering. I never played it but I did hear awesome things about it.everythingbeeps said:
That's it. I didn't actually play much. Like the first hour or so. Just one of those games I started but never got around to continuing.WaysideMaze said:
