Scariest moment in non-horror game.

[Ekonk]

Exactly what it says on the tin.

For me it would have to be the hotel in Vampire Bloodlines: The Masquerade. I thought that I was the big bad scary supernatural who doesn't afraid of anything. Boy, was I wrong.

So tell me, Escapists, what are your scariest experiences in games that aren't classified as horror?

 

[Owyn_Merrilin]

Pretty much anything involving Dark Troopers in the original Dark Forces, especially the phase 1 models. I haven't played the game since I was about ten, but I remember being freaked out every time one showed up -- in large part because they were so darned hard to kill.

"your princess is in another castle"

mwahaha i beat you all to it? D:

I cant remember which game it was, but i swear this ragdolled corpse came out of no where and dropped on me. It landed close enough to cover my screen and there was a loud *CLANK* of the corpses armour. That made me jump a mile

Those weird charging trash things in Glitch in the system, Scared the shit out of me first time I saw it.

Last mission in Uncharted.
I don't care what anyone says! It was nerve-wracking!

edit: Yes, fellas, I mean the sub-marine level with those "Spaniards".

Does Bioshock count as a non-horror game? If so, anytime one of the splicer starts talking to themselves and you can't see them. Or when you hear the wrench dragging behind one of the splicers.

Ravenholm - Half Life 2, there's some creepy shit right there! Damn, I swear I just run through that last section every time! The first time I saw those agile skinless headcrab zombies, I almost wet myself!

Also: the haunted mansion in Timesplitters: Future Perfect. I mean honestly, how can a Timesplitters game be so scary? REally says something when THAT single level is scarier than the latest Silent Hill games which are actually TRYING to be scary.

Also aspects of Bioshock were pretty creepy. Singularity (a pretty poor game) threw a really cheap trick at me in a water section, turned a corner and a skeletal body was floating right in my face. Damn I jumped out my seat!

Yeah, Bioshock has some scary moments. The most scary one would be the surgeon splicer suddenly standing behind you at one point.

Oh god the nightmares I had after that, I was only small...

I was playing Tomb Raider 2 and I was looking where the third secret in the first level is and the music for an enemy came on and I says "haha there's noth-*SCREAM*!" a Dinosaur came out of somewhere.
It also happened in Angel of Darkness my friend fell down a hole and a statue moved and we both scared each other screaming.
Good times.

Ninja'd!

That was traumatic, it really was.

"I... feel... h a p p y..."

 

[Furious Styles]

Ravenholm, god how I hate Ravenholm.

 

[Canadian Briton]

Ocean house hotel. All though Vampire the Masquerade:Bloodlines probably qualifys as a horror game.

 

[IamSofaKingRaw]

Those naked chimera that pop out of nowhere in Resistance 2.
