To be fair, the topic is "Scariest Game You Have Ever Played" and I've never heard of "Fatal Frame/Project Zero". And while yes, F.E.A.R. isn't a horror game, it's the most frightening I've played. Of course, that doesn't say much since I personally avoid scary games. They scare me.Pzest said:

Would that happen to be a game where you have to look for clues for a murderer or something? It looks like a game like that, that I saw on TV one time that looked really scary.jim_doki said:
Also, I've been thinking about getting S.T.A.L.K.E.R for a while, for the scariness, and the free-roaming (or so I hear) atmosphere. Overall, what is the game like?
I hear that! I'd already completed the game as an alien and as the predator so I knew what I was up against when I started playing as the marine. Jesus, that motion tracker is a really good tool for building up a bit of tension.Lightbulb said:
lol, yea that one was a *****, and because of how vanilla the rest of the game was turning out to be I was totally unprepared... yea but F.E.A.R. is definitely the worst, there were parts of it that had be shaking, and I even had to stop to take a deep breath before entering a room because the sounds, lighting and ambient music already had me on edge before anything even happened! Sierra, I applaud you, now bring out the sequel already!Syrio Forel said:
Also, get Extraction Point, great continuation of the story and has a bit of original stuff too.
uhhh... suprising. So few people even mentioned any of the Fatal Frame games.
F.E.A.R was pretty scary. But as Yatzee said, it's a little too predictable in the way of WHEN it's going to get scary and when it's going to be a (relatively) relaxing gun battle that isn't going to make you shiver and jump a foot in the air. Similarly, in F.E.A.R you are a supersoldier who can slow down time, which is cool, but you don't feel all that vulnerable.
But the Fatal Frame games were... something else. You just don't get a break, bonechilling, creepy and jump from your seat frightening from start to finish with no breaks and no relaxation at all. As starkly opposed to F.E.A.R, you are NOT a supersoldier, you play a weak, slow moving terrified girl, which makes you the equivilent to her in the nerves department. You feel weak and terrified with no way out.
FEAR was very good and scary. But Fatal Frame, me and my brother and his friend had to take shifts playing that game cuz we frequently became too creeped out to continue, and had to pass off the controller.

STALKER really isn't a bad game, (gameplay and story wise) it just has really bad performance issues, like your mom, but GPG has been fixing the bugs with patch after patch... their actually getting close to the bugginess level that most games are at when they are released.
so, if you like rpg's and fps's, and you liked Bioshock and Oblivion/ElderScrolls, then I would say go ahead and get STALKER. It actually is fun.

I just finished Fatal Frame. I had never heard of it either, but some people on a Silent Hill board kept mentioning it. It is pretty darn scary. You just pucker up when that filament goes gold: where is it? who is it?
Clocktower3 is also very interesting. I couldn't finish it as it was a rental, and I thought the boss battles were a little overly long. But the puzzle solving aspect, searching for a safe hiding place---very intense. Also some of the cut scenes were very disturbing.

Eternal Darkness Sanity's Requiem lurches to mind, what with the consequences of the sanity meter going low. Xel'a'tov's laughter...
That, and Call of Cthulu (sp?) Dark Corners of the Earth. Aweseome games, not exactly scary, but excellent foreboding atmospheres in both.Imperator_2 said:
EDIT: Also! Halo 1.
Call me a wuss, but when the Flood unleash for the first time I shat my self. I really did.
Ok, guys, don't think I'm a wuss or anything, but if you switch off Voice Chat and don't look at Text chat, Zombie Mods on Counter-Strike Source can be very very intense and scary, I remember this one round where I managed to crawl down a vent into a little alcove, around half-way into it I hear a gentle-scratching below my feet, I ignore it and keep on shooting the obvious zombies coming in through the front entrance. Another minute afterwards I heard a loud crashing breaking noise, and guess what? Zombies were literally pouring through a vent I hadn't seen in the floor. I nearly fell out of my chair as I pitfully tried to flee through the front entrance into the now suspicously thin crowd of Zombies. I threw a grenade to scatter the front crowd and ran forwards into a random room, I made a pitiful barricade with a shelf and a vending machine, and turned around to see a Zombie staring me right in the face. Not a pleasant gaming experience.
i just today found my old copie of project zero and even though i am about five years older than the last time i played it it still made me (metaphoricly) shit my self
ok first i understand i am not the most manly when it come to "i aint never scared of nuthin'" the first silent hill scared the crap out of me, condemmed(both) have really caught me at times but to be honest the first hour of fear scared the piss out of me. that little girl honestly needs to find something better to do... Go away and stop giggleing when i turn aroung or go in the dark!
id have to put in a vote for F.E.A.R. every time I experience the horror parts of that game I nearly pee my pants. from disappearing bad guys to people standing where you just climbed down to a ladder, to opening a door and suddenly standing in a pool of blood and being chased around, that game scared the hell out of me. also id like to put a vote in for the cradle in theif deadly shadows. every moment of that level had me on edge so that quiting the game made me realize that i had every muscle in my body tensed up and finaly relaxed them. also ever since i heard about eternal darkness it sounded cool, cause it messed with the way the game played. look it up, but for those who are lazy, it sounded like it was something like the psychomantis battle where he knew things about you
addtionally, SWIFT, GTFO!

There are many experiences.
In OoT the Shadow Temple is plain disturbing, the Skulltula house at the Great Sea in Majoras Mask is creepy.
Bioshock was pretty odd too of course.
And lets not forget about Ally McGees Alice in Wonderland. Now that game was disturbing as hell.
