Spoiler Alert:CartoonHead said:Oh this. Had me so scared I couldn't actually complete SOC when I got to Pripyat and so could no longer spot them from a distance (by spending 5 mins looking through my enemy-sensing binocs every time I walked 50 yards). I'm still annoyed at myself for that, because I loved the atmosphere in that game, and I know I cannot justify buying COP because I KNOW I will still shit myself.Sebenko said:Bloodsucker.

Second on the list has to be the goddamn Icthysaurs in the original Half-Life, they scare the living shit out of me to the point where I have to turn off the PC via the reset button.
Due to modern gaming standards, I feel I should explain that when I first played it (all those cherisable years ago), upon reaching the dam and turning the valve underwater I had no idea there would be one of these monstrosities coming straight screen-filling at me when I turned around, and so realising the hard way that most of my guns would not work underwater I promptly died in my panic. And that people is what sparked my morbid fear of large underwater creatures in games even to this day. God I'm such a wuss.
EDIT:Yeah, I deliberately avoided that mission...feather240 said:Remember that village with the bloodsuckers?...
AvP is a pretty terrifying game. I know exactly the spot you mentioned, and I haven't played that game for years. The first one was worse-no in-level saves! (some levels were HUGE)silver wolf009 said:Im going with the facehuggers from avp2 bacuse theres a part in the single player where you have creep past 45 eggs. God the fear when i heard one open....
She wasn't the final boss, and she was still kind of hot. The vagina doors creeped me out more than any enemy.Xersues said:Final boss in Prey, when his girl gets assimilated.
The genius thing about the bloodsuckers is they somehow scare you more out in the open, in broad daylight. In tight corridors you know where they have to come from. That fucking village outside of Freedom base...Sebenko said:Bloodsucker. Like an invisible mini-Cthulu.
Less so in the new STALKER, but in any other game...
You'll be glad when the gun-totting military turn up to try and kill you- at least they might distract the bloodsucker.
I actually despise the cyborg ninjas more than either of them. The jellyfish make noise, and the spiders are only melee. But I hate the little worm piles more than anything else, but that's just personal phobia. I was horrified that you would actually see the giant annelid wrapped around the Von Braun at the end.Kayevcee said:Has to be the psi reaver projections from System Shock 2. My mate fears the spiders more but they don't faze me much. Jellyfish though I can't abide. Regular British jellyfish freak me out. Pictures of the big ones in the newspaper scare the crap out of me and I have to fold it over if I want to read other articles on the page. Flying jellyfish that shoot insanely powerful bolts of psychic energy that take five or six rounds from an assault rifle to put down and if you don't find the disembodied brain that's projecting them within a few seconds they COME BACK? To quote St Francis of Assisi, "f*** that for a game of soldiers".

Come on, they only snuffled around with you catching glimpses of their shadows in the surrounding abandoned houses...
I agree. Plague babies are creepy, especially knowing exactly what they are and how they came to be in that pit coupled with he music and Astraea (sp?) constantly asking you to leave her alone.Lord Of Cyberia said:Plague Babies, from Daemon's Souls. They are exactly what you think they are.
Fort Frolic isn't scary, but headless cartoons are? "There's a difference between scary and startling."biscuit said:*sigh* at inevitable Bioshock and Mass Effect answers
OT: The headless bombers from Serious Sam, that scream is damn creepy.
I agree, but in Silent Hill 1 there was a creepier thing. The little ghost children that didn't hurt you, but still made your radio sound in alarm. It is alot creepier tan I make it sound, especially when there are demon children with knives just round the corner and YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH AMMO!bleachigo10 said:I think everyone will agree with me when I say Pyramid Head. Raping a manikin, wtf.
What about...ProfessorLayton said:Have you ever seen the jockey from Left 4 Dead 2 extremely up close in high detail? Yeah... oh man, I never thought the jockey was ever that creepy until I free looked right in his face...
