I tend to stay away from the Gates of Oblivion. The dark red sky, the lightning, the fire. Ugh...*shivers*
Does anyone have "In-game Fears"?

Any kind of infinite respawning enemy crap sets me off my trolley. However, time jumping puzzles make a loud sigh emanate from my room.
I usally freak out when I know there is somthing in the room....But I have no idea where. Take the enemies that could turn themselves invisable in F.E.A.R. They could be anywhere in the room but I wouldn't know where until they attacked.
In RE4 after you beat Del Lego, if you try to go back the way you came you get attacked by wolves, always scares me.
The fifth colossus was one of my favorites. I did not like the underwater electric snake, though. Underwater levels creep me out in games, though I suppose open water in Morrowind is similarly bad...stupid slaughterfish. Water Walking was one of my favorite spells in that game.the protaginist said:
Those mid air stages in mario games, where the screen is slowing scrolling to the right, and you have to jump from floating box to box suspended over nothing. One slip and you're dead. And the inertia in the game doesn't help either. >.>
I've got a new one now: the morgue in Batman: Arkham Asylum, when the Scarecrow bit takes place. I thought I was going to have to run out of the room screaming. Probably didn't help that I was playing in the dark.
Okay, okay, it's time for me to be kind of girly and tell you all about my ingame fears. I'm actually not really easy to scare, even horror games disappoint me cause a love a good creepout, but here are a few things that gave me the jibblies.
1) Gyorg. The fish boss from LOZ:MM. Scared the crap out of me. No idea why, I'm not particularly afraid of fish, but the first time I saw him my hands were shaking too badly to play.
2) Hidden enemies. I'm a veteran at getting lost in games, and that's especially difficult in dark games when you absolutely know there is an enemy about, particularly one that can kill you easily, and it could be around any corner but you don't know where. Fallout 3, Bioshock and Doom 3 were big offenders.
3) Okay this one's also really pathetic, but at the time it was terrifying. In Donkey Kong 64 in the desert level there's this temple and I went through it, did all the puzzles and got my golden banana. As soon as I'd picked it up this monster voice boomed "get out!" and a timer started and crosshairs moved over me, and I have never moved so fast in a video game. I never went back with the other characters.
4) Excessive bloom. Fable 2 is my best example. There are two cottages there filled with excessive bloom, in the kind of horror movie way that makes you think everyone there's been murdered. What was worse was that when you enter one of them the bloom dies and leaves to this tumbledown shack that's been destroyed. That got to me.
5) The only scary game I couldn't play because I was too scared I can't remember the name of. But it was against ghosts and you didn't have a gun you just had a camera and every photo you took gave them a tiny bit of damage. Only you couldn't move while aiming the camera so you just had to watch while they slowly advanced on you while you pathetically picked away at their health. That was more panic than fear, but it sucked.

Hearing a noise, and not being able to see what is making it. It's worse when you know what is making the noise, but you can't see the thing.

Enemies that leap right into your face, especially the ones that take up the whole screen.
You really don't want to play the point-and-click adventure Sanitarium.MrPink67 said:Surrealism, after playing Condemned 1, I realized this fear whenever the main character would have a "Dream Sequence-thingie"
Also the attic area of the last boss. Those damn twitching arms.
Almost forgot, Silent Hill 4. Giant head. Dead Babies. I need say no more.
In morrowind, when you swam to the edge of the map, and went underwater, there was nothing. Literally nothing, just an infinite tan plane, stretching away...
And Oblivion, going underwater in that cave with trolls, or that other one with the giant slaughterfish.
Yeah.

I fear the host in gears of war 2 wingman
i am also afraid of feral goul reavers in fallout 3 (unless i have the MIRV with me) because they DON'T DIE seriously the take 3 times as much to kill as a death claw and still more then a behemeth how drunk was bethesda when they made them with soooo much health

In FF7 when you're underwater... Everytime. Emerald Weapon in front of me. Serves him right when I killed it/him/her and his two brothers.
Mine is definitely any dungeons when I run out of torches and don't have night vision, scares the daylights out of me.
