Games that scared you that probally should not have.

[willsham45]

Have you ever had a fear of a game that was not interned to be scary, or as scary as you made it out to be.

For me the grass temple in ocarina of time...I the music really got to me for some reason

I also had a problem with the eyes in banjo kazooie...saw them for weeks after playing an incredibly intense section...this was when I was very young and relatively new to gaming...those eyes seamed to follow me even when the game was off.

The first time I played Bioshock, the thing scared me quite a bit. That's probably my fault, though, as I set the darkness level far below where it should have been.

The other half of that was the fact that dead bodies would twitch unnecessarily and that just kind of creeped me out... I eventually got over it and was able to enjoy the game, but at first it was just too weird.

Oh! You mean that trope... Uh... I am actually thinking and typing this in real time...

Spyro The Dragon Ripto's Rage, there's this door I was afraid to open because I had a feeling Ripto was waiting for me like the dinner scene In Empire.

Half-Life 2 Episode 2 with that antlion guardian part. For some reason that scared the hell out of me.

Oh dear, Headcrabs frighten me so much.....

To the point of me shrieking like a bloodily murdered dolphin, that's how hard I shriek. It's just the sudden

[HEADING=3]JOLT[/HEADING]

that freaks me out.

I'm not picky about headcrabs, all kinds freak me out.

Speaking of the Forest Temple, I love listening to that tune and jamming out, especially when Yoshi starts singing.

Bioshock scared the crap out of me the first time I played it. It was just the feel of it, sooo bloody tense. That and I decided to play it at 3am in the pitch black of early morning, all alone, dead silence. The background noises that you hear in Bioshock are actually bone shakingly scary when you hear them.

HL2 and going through Ravenholm has always had me in chills. I don't know if it's the setting, the shril cry of the zombies, the soft yet deadly rattle of the black headcrabs, or all of the above possibly. Something about that place always did, and still does, give me the creeps.

Am I the only one who absolutely loved Ravenholm and wasn't scared at all? Seriously, that's one of my favorite game levels of all time.

Ravenholm in Half-Life 2 really got to me, whenever I replay the game I hate going thorugh that area.

 

[Blue Musician]

Mmmm, I do not wan to reply really, but I guess that it would be the first level on Serious Sam The First Encounter.

Don't get me wrong. I too love that stage however I love it for the scare. The rest of the game had fast action, slow moments and Ravenholm had the scare factor. Without Ravenholm HL2 would have been missing the scare and would have less variation. That and I'm the kind of person that likes the scary feeling, it gives a nice rush when you go through it all and come out the other side. And the fact that it still scares me to this day only adds to my enjoyment further.

Whenever the Hunter's pounced on me in L4D.

Also, the Guardians in Borderlands frightened me when I first killed saw them.

No your not that level was awesome and let me have fun setting zombies and fire and throwing saws at them.

 

[TriggerUnhappy]

Any game where I'm chased by something. I don't know why, but running with something right on my tail, just freaks me out. It's especially horrible if I can hear but not see the enemy chasing me. And hell, it doesn't even have to be a frightening enemy either, and that feeling will still creep me out.

 

[Altorin]

Dante's Inferno. Scare isn't really the word though.. I felt ill after a few hours of playing it and said "I DO NOT LIKE THIS GAME".. finished getting all the non-DLC achievements anyway, but for some reason, the music being replaced by screaming disturbed me.

 

[emerald2142]

Minecraft, with the creepy ambient cave sound and the fear that the next cave I enter might have monsters in it, as im not usually prepared.

 

[willsham45]

Half-Life 2 Episode 2 with that antlion guardian part. For some reason that scared the hell out of me.

The overly mutated headcrab zombies always terrified me, still do, their shreeks, their growns and the way they just jump out at you.

Oh and I also forgot to give a mention to FEAR. This one takes #1 place as the scariest game for me. Why? 'Cause it took me 4 f*****g times just to get past the first level, and nothing even happens in it. You don't have to do anything but walk forward and around a few corners. However it made me s**t bricks so violently it made me have to redo it 4 times. It was that slow scare that teases you with the slow flash backs and the ghosts that are then then they are not there. It makes me not want to go any further bacause in my mind I have the feeling that around the nxt corner there will be a massive vagina tenticle monster ready to eat my face. However all you have to do is walk. Such an easy level that cost me 4 pairs of underwear.

i do know what you mean, the music did kinda creep me out in its darkness going in there.

that game had a few things...like the undead and the hanging spiders. i have no fucking clue why they were incredibly slow and retarded but id have a muscle spasm freakout every time i saw one and id end up magnetizing towards them and id get destroyed... =\


OT: crash bandicoot, the mother fucking boulder levels.

i have no idea why, but as a kid i would sit there and scream and jump around frantically hoping that all that would get him to move faster with the boulder just about to mow his ass down, and right at the end id scream "DIIIIIIIIIII - AHHHH!!" and do a front flip through the hole. weird.
