this isn't any specific game, but i hate having a time limit in an RTS. It always makes me feel rushed and panicked and i never feel like i have enough time to do anything.

Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth:

"Why, I'm just going to go ahead and sleep in this fishy hotel in Innsmouth. Surely nothing will go wrong as long as I lock the door, right?"

Seconds later,

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
QFT

Also whenever I get within melee range of anyone with an equalizer.

In resident evil when you're in a small room or hallway and a zombie busts through a door. ohshitohshitohshitohshitohshit runrunrunrun
Or a window:

I've never been as scared as when I first saw this. The first two games (only two I've played) are unplayable for me. I can't get 5 minutes into them - even now - without becoming a nervous wreck.
Then i would love to know what it would be like for you, when the nemesis is chasing you down every five minutes in Resident Evil 3.

Being either bunker rushed, cannon rushed, 6 pooled, 4-gated or 3 raxed in Starcraft 2.

I can usually defend them most of the time, but I just started playing Zerg and the pressure is massive if happens and you've been droning the entire time. I shake so much that I have to stop playing for an hour.

Love the game though.

In Half Life 2 Ep 2 when you're in the room with the Advisor and you decide to piss it off... I mashed every button known to man just hoping I could do something to stop it from killing me, and then shit just explodes... That blew my mind.

I know this isn't a part of the game, but in Doom 3, I was at the peak of immersion, when my little sister walks up behind me and goes "BOO!"
I jumped so high I nearly hit the ceiling.

Vault 34. Fallout: New Vegas.

Especially since I didn't bring any followers with me, since they can get stuck in there.
Is that the one
with the plants?
That scared me.

OT: That bit in Left 4 Dead 2: The Sacrifice where
You have to go back across the bridge to activate the generator and sacrifice yourself. I could never make it. So...many...tanks!

No, that's the one filled with deadly radiation.

That vault was creepy as all hell.

In fact i would say the vaults were much more creepier in new vegas than fallout 3. The only vault that freaked me out in fallout 3 was the gary vault, because you will be walking into the rooms with dead silence, and then you suddenly hear, awww...gary!

Dunwich Building in Fallout 3 GOTY. Damn Feral Ghoul Reavers creep me out. It's not well lit, and the ghoul sounds are really unsettling o_O

Whenever I can hear a creeper getting ready to explode in Minecraft.

Whenever I've been noticed by a Mr. Shambles, in Amnesia.

Whenever I've startled the Witch, in L4D.

Many moments:

"ssssssssSSSSSSSSSSSHHHBOOM!"

Every time a monster sees me in Amnesia... Especially the first time you encounter the water enemy... My friend was sitting next to me, first time he saw the game and he said he was panicking too

And ArmA II CQC moments, when the enemy is 5-50 metres away from you.

Ravenholm. Still get tense as playing through there, once i'm through I grab a celebratory bourbon to calm down lol.

Basically all of Amnesia as well. Lights off, playing with headphones.

I panic constantly during the final boss of Uncharted 2, since he can 1-2 shot kill you from range with his shotgun on Hard/Crushing. And the way the boss fight is set-up, he's constantly out of your viewing range.

Tense as fuck.

And annoyingly hard as fuck, too.

If he ambushes me when I turn around to shoot the resin, I get startled easily and scared as hell.
I like how the magic tree sap gives him the ability to throw 5 fucking grenades from one hand.

[sub]How are we not past this type of boss-fight design?[/sub]

OT: The poisonous headcrabs in Ravenholm. Always see 'em a few seconds before they fuck your face. Cue shotgun spamming.
That level ultimately fucked me up.


During the Silent Hill 2 fight with Pyramid Head, I always run into him, it's annoying and scary.

Ravenholm, true with that.

L4D when all your teammates are down.
