No it isn't, because not all horror games are scary (Doom 3, The Suffering, Dead Space).Eico said:

Final Fantasy VII. Remember I was about 7 when I first played it and that game has some freaky shit for a 7 year old. For example the scene where you see the headless Jenova, the wierd creature that escapes from the pod at the mako reactor, the blood covering the floor and the freaky music in the Shinra HQ and the murdered giant snake impaled on a massive spike. It didn't really make me scream but it did give me the chills.
This. Once I made it to the end gate, I saved so I would never have to do it again when creating a character. God, I hated that place.cyrogeist said:

Umm, yeah it is. Either you're a troll or ignorant about genres.Eico said:
Scary != Horror
Something doesn't have to cry to make you sad, people don't have to get married to make it a love story, and you don't have to be scared to make it a horror game. I've seen a bunch of people say Doom 3 was scary, and it didn't scare me. It's genre isn't dependent on the reaction of the player.
I've even had a friend that said the song "So Cold" (or whatever it was called) by Breaking Benjamin was too hardcore for him. Does that make it hardcore? No.
Definitely Minecraft. The only two games that have ever come close to scaring me have been Dead Space 2 and Minecraft.
I spent several hours on that level actually, scared my to a point that I would stand behind a rock for a half hour waiting for it to be TOTALLY clear before I went.Ca3zar416 said:
As for the games that scared me? does Ghouls'n'Ghosts count?
mind you I was 4 but hell that was pretty scary stuff back then.
I don't know if Bioshock counts as a non horror game, granted it is obviously an FPS but it had parts designed to scare you so......
Also minecraft.......ssssssssssssssssssss
"the quality of inspiring horror"Eico said:
Thanks for proving my point. No where on there does it say it scares you. Horror games make use of a horror theme, because you can't make something that will scare everyone. Like it or not, a game does not to be scary to be horror. It even says that in a definition of survival horror:
"Survival horror refers to a subgenre of action-adventure video games which draws heavily upon the conventions of horror fiction. The player character is vulnerable and under-armed, which puts emphasis on puzzle-solving and evasion, rather than violence."
When I was a kid The Ripper in Medievil 2 scared me. Shockingly, Quake 4 made me cringe a bit at times.
You were afraid of that guy? I was scared of the scrabs. Freaky eyeless meat spider dog thingies. And the sounds.SplashyAxis said:Abe's Oddysee back when I was young and fragile. Mostly due to this guy.
When I was a kid, I remember being kinda scared while playing a detective mystery game on the NES called Deja Vu. I was so terrified of muggers hopping out, or the police finding me.
Actually the Adventure Mode of Brawl seriously freaked me out mostly seeing Master Hand die. 'Course then along comes Sonic to kill Tabuu and it ruined it all. -Has a deep personal vendetta against Sonic.-
And trying to think about the background of Majora's Mask and how Link probably handled being forced back 7 years again both creep me out and depress me.

Ocarina of Time.
The Shadow Temple and it's wallmasters (giant, disembodied hands), and the Happy Mask Salesman.

Fallout 3 had some scary bits in it.
American McGee's Alice was definitely creepy - the soundtrack, mostly. One of my favourites.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask creeped me out as a kid. The Shadow Temple stands out - no surprise there!
And believe it or not Duke Nukem 3D had some scary bits.
