Does anyone have "In-game Fears"?

[LeonLethality]

it used to be ice or water levels in platformers now its games that try too hard for pretty much anything a good concept gone horrible wrong

 

[jrhop364]

Pitch black rooms When you only have a flash light.

Mirrors where your character moves up, looks down, and then back up.
Jesus fuck dude, you know somethings gonna jump out!


Needless to say, I did not do good in Doom 3.

EDIT:
Ooh, and Mannequins.
Namely; Condemed Mannequins, in the Department store scene.
I was shitting my pants. Literally.

 

[DoW Lowen]

Mirrors are never a good sign.

 

[Nick Bounty]

Dogs. Attack dogs ingame for some reason freak me out, especially if they are charging at you.

 

[Cartman2nd]

Giant insects, although silly, can freak me out.

Fallout 3, hearing ants walking around, their giant legs skittering about.
It's a little unnerving for me.

Yes this, so much this.

Fuck Yao Gui's or something! It's ants where it's at! I remember walking in a factory full of ants, started having fun and HOLY SHIT MOTHER OF GOD THERE'S THE ANT QUEEN! I could handle here, I could easily kill here with melee but I used a mini nuke. Can't be too sure...

 

[Metalchair]

this is pretty lame, but whenever a hallway has grates off to the sides that block yer path and just have darkness beyond them, i always freak myself out by thinking something is gonna pop out and scream all loud and scare me

or going through a bunch of stuff and die only to find out my last save point was hella long ago

 

[Mezzlegasm]

The last person alive in a survival match.

Also, not knowing what might happen next in a game like tomb raider freaked me out so much when I was a kid.

 

[Wakefield]

Anything to do with Water

 

[MiracleOfSound]

Giant Radscorpions

click click clickety click clickety click in my headphones

gives me nasty shivers up my back

 

[Cenii]

Using the "F*ck You" weapon/button, IE magnum ammo in the early resi series, only to find you've run out and you REALLY wished you saved it.

Never again will i feel the indignity of being trampled while holding an empty hand cannon!

SAVE TEH NUKES

 

[MiracleOfSound]

I tend to stay away from the Gates of Oblivion. The dark red sky, the lightning, the fire. Ugh...*shivers*

The repetition is also rather frightening...

 

[Baggie]

Icy floors with bottomless pits.
Given to me after my childhood addiction to Croc 2.

 

[mihajelko]

Open water. You just know some giant fish is going to eat your face.

That already makes a bunch of us who get freaked out by open water levels with no ability of seeing what underneath us whatsoever ... but I still get uncomfortable when swimming in the sea in real life.

 

[JoshGod]

several years ago i had the same shadow of the colosus thing with that water boss but eventually realised its a game it dont matter if you die

since then that startig part in dead space when your in the elevater and the door is pulled open

 

[RoyalStranger]

RE2 where that thing jumps out of the window/mirror (I think the room was like a interrogation room? So probably a window). I absolutely cannot stand near a mirror/window irl and in game because of that. Basically, all of my IRL fears come from earlier RE games.


Flickering lights in hallways/rooms.
Boomers. If we ever have a zombie invasion, and boomers exist..holy shit.
snipers (more like a despise them.)
Low health/ammo going into a big fight

 

[Eatspeeple]

Leaper zombies! especially that bit in ep 2 where it jumps on the front of your car and brings its half skull half gore face towards you, just before alyx kicks it away. Mostly its the noise they make. And the fact that its impossible to kill them in the maybe 1/4 of a second between their appearane and them reaching you.

 

[Arkhangelsk]

When you're running from something and you can't see how far away it is.

 

[ThayldDrekka]

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.

The black posion headcrabs scared the shit out of me, you could hear them rattling, then BAM 1 hp left, so I would end up getting somewhere they couldnt get me, then make sure every single one of them is dead before moving on, then low and behold, 2 people covered with them pop out and i am down to 1 hp again *AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH*
