i remember when halo was released, my mate was too scared to play this level, the one where u first meet the flood, by himself and so he rang me and asked me to do co-op with him, it was a very scary level the first ever time you play it, right in the heart of a deserted complex then a brand new creepy enemy burst through every door!

Eternal Darkness has some of the most disturbing (scary) things in a game.
Also, everything in Haunting Ground! I had to stop playing cos I just felt sick to my stomach with worry for that poor girl, very disturbing (and more so for the dog...)

Demon's Souls, Latria Tower 3-2, I mean, there is actually a blood lake...that is disgusting

The one truly affecting piece of gaming i've ever experienced was the moral dilemma presented in Fallout 3's The Pitt. Never before have i had to deliberate over something so much. That was pretty disturbing just in the way it got to me.

That DLC angered me so much. I couldn't make up my mind and kept reloading to see which one played out more "good" and obviously neither of them did so I gave up and slaughtered everyone. Bloody moral dilemmas.

well, whatever game I say now will probably be beaten soon by the upcomming God of War III... seriously man, the Zipper technology in that game?! ewwwwwwwwwwww!

The Olga death scene in Mgs2 was pretty fucked up.

 

[MrSnugglesworth]

Call of Cthulhu, pretty much any moment in the entire game.

Spoiler

In the very first level you find a guy screaming, who's had all his organs taken out and put into jars around him and then hooked up so he can still use them.

Wow.


That is my most disturbing moment.


Dear Jesus...


I've never played that game and thats disturbing me!

The first time I played Silent Hill. When you go in the lift (hospital?) and it has 4 buttons and then you come back and it has 5 so you press 5. Then it goes other world, you get worried and go back only to find the buttons are back to 4 and don't work.

It didn't scare me, but really made me feel disconcerted. It was also one of the first games with good urround sound. Again, not scary, but really bothered me at a visceral level.

I was 11 when I played the first silent hill. I got to the alley and saw the hanging fleshless man thing and promptly had nightmares for 2 weeks and refused to even go near my Playstation cause I was sure the disc was evil and would kill.

At that exact point, my mate had to switch off and had to watch Cartoon Network for an hour before going to bed. He was 20.

Sorry OP, this example is more terrified than disturbed.

When I first got my playstation it was chipped, and I was but a child. My dad got me dozens and dozens of cracked games for it, one of those was silent hill. The controls were a bit unwieldy, and I was scared of the atmosphere. My dad starts it up for me, walks into an alley, and a bunch of crowey flesh monsters ate his face. I made him switch it off and went to play on the nintendo.

I have never, EVER, played Silent Hill since. Not a minute.

Watching poor innocent Alistair try and move away from Morrigan in the ritual scene, poor boy looks very worried...........
What? It disturbed me!

I found that scene amusing, since I could totally identify them with it - Alistair, the whiny male lead who's yet again forced by the circumstances to do something he'd rather not do, and Morrigan - the "evil temptress" who gets her pleasure handed to her. Being able to save my PC's life with this was more or less an extra I was expecting something more of a scene that calls itself a blood magic ritual though..

At least the scene is the same if, instead of Alistair it's your main character going to bed with her. Haven't tried it with Loghain yet but I suppose it's not anymore different.

 

[Biosophilogical]

Disturbing you say?

Spoiler: The most disturbing thing in a video game EVER!!!

The FFX Laughing scene!!! *dun dun dun*

What i found very disturbing the first time i saw it was in 'Halo 1', were the Master Chief finds Jenkins recorder and views it.

That was quite disturbing, but in a interesting way and made me really enjoy halo's plot more than most other games. The lead up to that point was graphic (blood painted some walls, Bodies littered everywhere, Rooms in ruins) Then it shows that cutscene and changes the way the game is played.

I was playing co-op with a mate the first time we were playing the campaign, he was hell impatient and skipped most of the cutscenes, it was incredibly annoying, and he skipped this one as well. All the flood just appeared, freaked the shit out of me cos I had no clue what was going on

 

[I Resurection I]

The first time I play Gears of War and and got killed by a torque bow.

Max Payne. when he's tripping balls and running through the long winding hallways of his house with the baby crying in the background. CREEEPY!

This one and I would add the part where you have to walk over a trail of blood.
That whole level was fantastic, you were allucinating because of the valkyre, you kept coming in the same room where your family was slained and you couldn't get out. Really disturbing, it was an excellent work.

No one already said The path?
Wanna talk about how much the endings are disturbing?
