Games that make you feel uncomfortable

[rabidmidget]

I once had to play Halo 3 multiplayer as a Spartan because my friends refused to stop long enough to let me customise.
I scrubbed and I scrubbed afterwards but I still felt filthy.

i feel your pain

 

[arc101]

F.E.A.R. made me uncomfortable, so did max payne, when he walks through the ocrridor and finds a babies room covered in blood and an up turned cot... quite terrifying
And the suffering...

Oblivion

Where you have to kill the old lady living by herself in the middle of nowhere on a tiny little farm. Then steal her birthday gift list. Then use it to track down and kill her family.

It's just... wrong.

That is the EPITOME of awesome!!!! Thats one of those little gems that made Oblivion so awesome lol!!

On a related note: The shit that splicers said as they traipsed around Rapture as they would. That shit is just disturbing. One dude walks around singing: "Jesus loves me, this I know..."

Quake 4/Doom 3

Since they are both horror games.

 

[ICantBelieveItGoesBoom]

Fallout 3.

There were some choices in the game that really made me think about my moral standing.
I'm not comfortable with a game making me look that deep into myself just to solve a quest.

The big decision in The Pitt especially.

Spoiler

Choose whether to leave a baby with its parents who are trying to figure out how to cure radiation with the baby's immunity or steal it and take it too the "good" guys who you are working with who also want it to try and cure radiation but might not treat it as well.

In the end I stole the baby but it took about 10 minutes for me to come to that decision, and only because I didn't trust the parents to let me live.

I still bring that baby all the teddy bears I can find because I feel bad about it.

Mondo Medicals. Just. . . Mondo Medicals.

 

[Murlin]

Prototype, it's fun for sometime, but after a few minutes morality catches up with you when you're cutting people in bite sized bits.

 

[Slash Dementia]

I'm going to agree with the people that said Doom 3...but at the time I was playing, I was pretty Christian (I'm not anymore), and all those inverted pentagrams and demons and stuff...it just felt so uncomfortable playing, but I got through it.

Shalebridge Cradle level from Thief 3. Ugh.

 

[Doctor_Insano]

grand theft auto 3... played it a while, found someone on a sidewalk, mugged them, then beat them to death, and proceeded to kick them for 5 min while they bled on the sidewalk... strangely i didnt want to play it anymore

 

[CuervoJoe]

Half-life 2. I love it, but there's something about it.
Also Fallout 3 when you're the only thing in the visible range.

 

[CuervoJoe]

Oh, and Morrowind.
That game never felt right to me, it felt unfinished.

 

[Tsaba]

Killing Floor, your that last one left, everyone is using killcam to watch me every corner and Its only me, my rifle versing Mr.Sonovabitch Fleshpound and his brother Fleshpound 2nd... With no grenades.

well, I would have to say when killing floor broke and it was me and my group against this:

Spoiler

I felt very uncomfortable... when everyone in front of you collapses like a house of cards and as you run away you get cut off and get all the attention... at least the medic got away.

 

[Lynx]

Silent Hill. Heheh.... heh...

 

[Catchy Slogan]

I don't remember a Vault 89 in Fallout 3.

Vault 87, the Super Mutant one?

The one with the hallucinagen released in the air system, I believe.

That's Vault 106

Spoiler

Oh I loved that vault! especially the little massages to yourself that change each time...

It was very well done.

EDIT:

That is the EPITOME of awesome!!!! Thats one of those little gems that made Oblivion so awesome lol!!

On a related note: The shit that splicers said as they traipsed around Rapture as they would. That shit is just disturbing. One dude walks around singing: "Jesus loves me, this I know..."

"...Because the bible tells me so..." That one made me laugh each and every time.

Also the Dark Broherhood quests are my favourite ones! Especially when I went all ninja on the pirates... Hehehe...

 

[Rooster893]

Bioshock.

"I'llll wraaap you in a sheeet... <3"

o__o

What crawls in my garden? JUMPS

 

[Highlandheadbanger]

Does anyone here have any games that make you just feel uncomfortable when you play them?

For me, it's Half-Life 2. Don't get me wrong, I really like it, and it's a fantastic game, but...I dunno, when I play it something just doesn't feel right. Was that intended? Maybe it's the headcrabs...

So, what games make you feel uncomfortable when you play them?

The ones that poison you...that sound they make...my skin crawls.

Shit, just the appearance alone is enough to make my skin crawl, and then the way they move, and that rattling/hissing noise they make right before they jump, thats just over the edge.

I know, same with the GTA games and Saint's Row, that kinda stuff.

I never really understood the desire to murder innocent people just for the hell of it.

I mean, I'm not a morally-upright person myself, but I find it unpleasent: virtual or otherwise.

Also with the Biker gang you annihilate in Saint's Row 2. I have family who are bikers, but at the heart of things I just found the main character so much more reproachable and dispicable then the villains. I mean, the leaders of the gang I had to kill were morally reproachable people in many ways, some even deserved to die for their actions, but the way the main character goes about it, his/her actions seem much more horrible and villianesque then the people I'm supposed to hate.

Half-Life 2 (and HL1 for that matter) felt uncomfortable because in my opinion it did a great job of making you feel alone, as many games people have been mentioning do. That's why so many people like Alyx as a character, throughout the game she was your only real support and I don't know about you but whenever she turned up I felt relieved for some reason, just like you would if you were lonely in that situation yourself.

It's all part of Valve's "making you feel like Gordon Freeman" thing and it really works, I did feel like the world was against me in that game more than any other.
