Any and all deaths in the Dead Space series, they're just so damned gruesome.
I haven't even played it myself. Seriously. I've only spend a night, watching friends complete (I guess) it, when we were drinking. That's some scary shit. I don't like horror anyways. Whether it's in movies or in games. I announced multiple times that I will never play the game myself.Vuliev said:
I've played a hell of a lot of CS:S. Steam clock says over 1600 hours, and that's not even all, nor counting the previous versions from up to 1.3. I'm very good at it, once I'm in the mood. A steady aim, and the most important quality; game sense, and knowing where everybody is, through use of time, fired shots, thrown nades, radar, the way I sense people think and act, and so on. I know. But the times when I'm as certain as I can be about someone being somewhere, and actually they're behind the next corner: That's scary for a second. Seriously. Often deadly too, if they got reflexes.
I remember that! Well, the puzzle. I wasn't aware you actually saw the male character drown. I recall at least two times that my former step father played that puzzle and failed. I remember seeing the water level reach the very top, the screen do that colorful thing and then just the game over letters coming up...Andy Shandy said:
Chrysalids in X-COM.
Motherfucking Chrysalids.
I remember one time where I arrived at a terror event, marched my first guy of the ramp and right there was a fucking chrysalid. the problem was that the guy had gone too far to shoot or move far enough away that it wouldn't be able to get to him and nobody else could shoot it becasue there was a house in the way.
That was a total party kill.

That music scared me just now.Andy Shandy said:
As for me, dying is scariest in Deus Ex when I remember there's no auto save function...
You know how side-scrolling platformers would almost always have that one level or, those few levels where the screen scrolls on its own and, you can be killed by either falling behind or, being crushed by the scenery? Those were always really tense levels for me. Not fear specifically but a whole lot of tension and dread.
I'm another one who found the deaths in Amnesia terrifying, especially since the first few times I died I was struggling to get away- all I saw of the thing slashing me open was brief flashes of a mutilated face between my flailing.
Anything to do with Nemesis in Resident Evil 3 scared the shit out of me as a kid. Now, hm.. I'd have to say the Chainsaw guys in RE 4 get me pretty badly...
In general though, eye stuff. Anything to do with the eyes bugs the daylights out of me!

This bastard.
For anyone who has played the game: good on you.
Who anyone who hasn't... It's free, a small 30MBs, pretty low required specs, and it's scary.

Particularly the eye poke machine, and the small head-with-tentacles necromorph that rips Issac's head off inserts itself and starts walking around as a zombie. That creeped me out to no end.

EDIT: Okay, okay, so it's not from a game but it's in the same web series.
I'm seeing quite a few people mentioning Dead Space's eye pokey machine, but I don't remember that being capable of killing you. Still freaky, though.
Any game that puts a high enough penalty on death makes death scary, but deaths involving giant water-dwelling monsters scare the shit out of me. I have a minor fear of the ocean, so slapping a giant monster in there completes the package. Bonus points if it's spider-like.

Yeah, that what I was going to say too. God that's scary, though its good to see more people checking it out.TheYellowCellPhone said:This bastard.

Ecco the Dolphin had some terrifying moments but none were a match for the jump to 3D. I remember turning off Resident Evil to jump in fear of a pissed-off octopus. Scariest moment was when you find yourself at a dead end, notice a break in the rocks, propel yourself out of the water and over the hazard, fall into a lake BAM! Great white eats ya!!
