My nerves are shot.

[auron]

So, I decided to play System Shock 2. I've never played it before, since I don't realy like scary games. So I got to the hydrogarden or whatever it's called after engineering and... I just can't play it anymore.

I put it down for a month, started playing it again today... As soon as I heard one of those mutant zombies screaming at me I just shut it off. I can kill them in one shot, but they are damn creepy.

Is anyone else scared shitless to the point of not being able to play by games like this?

Nope.

It's just a game...

Whispers -Don't Show Him Doom 3-


I have never been scared of a game and personally I am looking forward to some very scary games on the next generation consoles. The better the graphics the more scarier the game will be.

 

[D€vIL²]

yeah, the monsters are oddly scary in that game. and games usually dont scare me.

dl this mod for it http://www.fileplanet.com/125428/120000/fileinfo/System-Shock-Rebirth-Beta-1
they are higher quality models (less freaky IMO)

Yeah I recognize that. I pretty much ran through HL2's Ravenholm as quickly as possible for the same reason. In the Doom 3 demo, I basically quit when the light went out . I think I'm just too easily/deeply immersed in games to play really scary stuff.

 

[short recoil]

The only games that get me marginally excited are when something is chasing you or you are neck and neck with a car in a vital race.

 

[pomegranate]

Yeah, SS2 really scared me too. Mostly cos combat is so damn hard. I gave up after I lost all my savegames... just too much of an epic struggle to get through again. I know the exact place you're talking about, it and really was disturbing. Amazing what could be done with the original Unreal engine and a bit of creativity...

play it online with friends, qck and dux used to/still do and apparantly its far more enjoyable.

It only really used to scare me on an old PC cause it was so slow I'd panic more.

Pussy.

 

[auron]

Ravenholm didn't scare me at all, I don't own Doom 3 since... Well it looks kind of boring. Those damn mutant zombie screams scare the shit out of me though.

I got that at exactly the same point in D3.... until I turned God Mode on :E

 

[Doppelgofer]

doom3 is scary for 5 minutes then it wares off...it could've been so much better....to me anyway

silent hill is a game that you want to play to be scared....especially the original

 

[auron]

I rented Silent Hill when I was like 9-12 (I can't remember when it first came out) thinking it was some action game. I think that might be why games like this freak me out now.

 

[Vigilante]

I tired playing SS2. After a few days of tinkering to get it to run, I was finally successful. The graphics were too bad for me to stand.

 

[mortiz]

DooM 3 was scary for about...30 seconds.

 

[Loke]

Never managed to play SS2… Too bad.

One game that really scared me a long time ago was 'Nightmare Creatures', a game that was released on PSX and PC.
I remember playing the demo and hearing those freaky-looking monster in the background, really scared the shitnitz out of me.

 

[Asuka]

Ok now i really need to play this game.

 

[jimbo118]

siren on ps2 is bloody scary, the whole sightjack thing is freaky particurly when you see yourself

 

[J_Tweedy]

silent hill was pretty scary- the radio was a great atmosphere builder.
the fast zombies in hl2 were suprisingly scary- the way they leap and ravage you.

Whispers -Don't Show Him Doom 3-

oh come on Doom 3 wasn't even remotely scary.

SS2 defnately shows its age today, but is stilll the only video game that has ever managed to give me the chills. Excellent stuff, and pises on Doom 3 from a great height when it comes to creating suspense and keeping the player on the edge of their seat (and then making them fall off it when a zombie appears out of no where /o\)

 

[auron]

I tried to play it again. I climbed out from behind the desk I was hiding behind, went out the door, looked around the hallway I was in, no zombies.

So I start walking to the next room and a ****in zombie jumps out from the corner behind me screaming and flailing a shotgun. The game's making fun of me ;(

 

[Pesmerga]

Doom 3 scared me to the point where I just had to stop playing. Oh, not to mention, my fx 5600 kept overheating when playing it, that added to the quitting.

 

[JellyWorld]

Highway 17 scared me... ****ing zombie in the abandoned house.

 

[Kschreck]

I agree Doom 3 is not scary (To Me) but a LOT of people consider that scary so I cited that as an example. I more or less think of Doom 3 as a quick fix for some shootem up fun. Mostly on Co-op.

 

[Somefool]

SS2 is the only game that scared me more times than any other. There are so many ways that could go wrong as you play, such as your gun breaking or jamming up while battling. Then you have cameras where it causes alerts and an endless army of hybrids spawn out of no where.

 

[hungryduck]

resident evil 4 was just creepy, but then the scary wore off and the game was one of the most fun I've even played. ever.

Amen brother amen.

 

[bliink]

I was scared with SS2, the sharp *BANG* of the rifle in the creepy ambience, the weird monsters... ugh..

Doom3... well, I was freaking out the whole way through, but I just kept running and didn't stop hehe

 

[Sparta]

Undying was also pretty damn creepy. Especially the first few levels where you're fighting that werewolf chick ;(. Scary stuff turning around and seeing a bunch of growling leaping werewolves running at you like mad

 

[PvtRyan]

Highway 17 scared me... ****ing zombie in the abandoned house.

Hehe yeah, such a creepy atmosphere, only part in a daylight game that ever scared me.

Haven't played SS2 yet, should do that some time, but I do know Undying is scary like hell in some parts.

 

[Cerpin]

Undying, SS2 are one of my fave games, and their art direction is so good that the graphics never will go out of fashion for me. If you can`t play these games because of the graphics, you are seriously missing out on something. These are the games you people are whining for the developers to make.

 

[CyberPitz]

I downloaded SS2 a couple years ago, it's still on my HDD. Never played it, maybe I should?

 

[Recoil]

Are you talking about System Shock 2?

 

[Zeus]

DooM 3 was scary for about...30 seconds.

Agreed, if you were still getting scared at the mid point to the end of the game, you must get scared really easily. The enemies spawned in a ridiculously repetitive pattern that got old really fast IMO and overall it was not scary. In a game such as Deus Ex there were some scary parts like in one mission there was a TON of postings on the walls that said, "ICARUS HAS FOUND YOU!! ICARUS HAS FOUND YOU ICARUS HAS FOUND YOU!!!! ect..." Very creepy stuff

 

[pomegranate]

Recoil: Yes.

 

[Absinthe]

Not really a horror game, but...

There's this one mission in Operation Flashpoint that's pretty much a continuation of the previous one. Your whole squad is dead, your radio is dead, and you're all by your lonesome at the edge of a forest. The entire mission consists of trying to creep your way to an extraction point. I swear to God, I think it took me at least an hour to beat, and it was damn difficult. But it was probably the most tense hour I've ever experienced in gaming. Outnumbered, enemy sweeps through the woods, tanks rolling in the distance, know idea where the enemy is going to pop up, and all with the knowledge that if you get spotted, you're pretty much ****ed. When I was informed that the evac chopper was going to be leaving soon, I nearly cried out in real life.

Not necessarily scary. But boy, it was tense.

 

[pomegranate]

Yeah, I remember that, Absinthe. Another instance of me not having enough patience to complete a game.
That said, I did persevere and beat the infamous track race on Mafia... that was a bitch.

 

[Doppelgofer]

if your after tense moments, splinter cell online has some REEEEALLY tense moments if you play it right

 

[jimbo118]

lol that mafia mission was a bitch, my hands were sweating as i turned the final corner for the last time hoping not to spin out. Ninja bastard tough it was.

 

[Absinthe]

That's actually when I stopped playing Mafia. I don't like racing games, so forcing me to play one is bad form on your part. Especially when you make it so freakin' difficult.
