Falling very long distances in first person games. Huge sea creatures in games where you have to go in water at least once.
Does anyone have "In-game Fears"?

Tightrope walking missions (damn you Sonic Unleashed), Regenerating Enemies (Dead Space and Resident Evil 4, you're guilty of this!the protaginist said:Due to an upcoming retrospective review i'm writing, I needed something to compare Twilight Princess's graphics to. Now, I have not played Shadow of the Colossus since my PS2 broke, so I was a little hazy on the details, and from my memories they looked remarkably similar. But, memories fade, so I found myself on Youtube looking up SoTC videos. The one I watched was the fight against The Fifth Colossus, the bird-like one on the lake. Now as I watched Wander swim to the beast, I found myself getting nervous. In life, I love being in or on the water. In games? It scares the living daylight outta me. For one thing, you can't see if somethings coming out from under you until it's too late to get away. You can't hear anything, period. You can't access your arsenal underwater, thus rendering you defenseless.
Mine is a fear of open water in gaming: what's yours?
TLR Version: What makes you scared in games?
Underwater levels, more for what's usually in underwater levels.
No-one likes them, they aren't fun.
for some reason im very afraid that im going to get killed and fuck things up. like in Fable 2, when you have to go to the crucible, i dint because i was afraid i would die a lot like in the original fable arena mission.
whenever I'm going on a steath mission in Far Cry 2, I will have all silent weapons, slowly creeping into the enemy bases. Take out a few gaurds and keep going, my heart races when crap like that happens. But I get a heart attack when im doing said mission and a car ramms me into the wall, i swear to god my heart misses about 5 beats whenever that happens.
I used to be terrified of the wilderness in Runescape. Luckily i stopped playing a long time ago but anytime i went there i would start to shake like crazy. I guess its the fact of losing all the stuff that you worked for.
In-game I'm terrified of fighting monsters underwater. I always get nervous when I have to fight that beast in Half-Life that you'll end up in the water anyway just to get the crossbow. And Deus Ex made me yell in fear when I saw one of those beasts swimming towards me wanting to chomp me to bits. I hate..HATE fighting underwater baddies. T_T *shivers in corner*
Dark corners/halls in zombie games, or really any survival games. I always manage to overlook a shadow and bam, I'm dead.
Huge open areas of water and the sound of giant insects walking around (namely the ones in Fallout 3).
In HL2, the head crabs. Or more focus the ones that already ate someone head. Just walking around and out of no where "OMYGODHELPME!". IN the middle of the night, in a dark room with a small light. FREAK ME OUT!. But the worst are those damn fast head crab zombies. I hear them and freak out and look everywhere until it to late and their some how behind me.
