The Scariest videogame character

[AgentNein]

Skinless Babies with Knives from Silent Hill.

If they don't count as characters (and rightly so) I'd instead go with James from Silent Hill 2.

 

[Soxafloppin]

Pyramid head, most likely because being raped just seems awfull.

Not something i want to experience.

Least of all from him.

 

[StarStruckStrumpets]

Cynthia's ghost in Silent Hill 4. ._. Scares the crap out of me. I don't like ghosts anyways (yet I love Fatal Frame) and she's just freaky.

And also, Corroder from Clock Tower 3. I'm not really sure why he freaks the crud out of me.

Corroder was definitely the scariest of all of them, every boss after him just felt like the game was taking the piss out of itself.

I'm sorry, but I'm about 30 hours in, and...I've never been so weirded out by anyone in my life:

Spoiler: Prepare yourselves

I'm serious. I've literally cried because my head was that messed up.

It looks like someone at Jockstick Division is reading this forum: The Top Ten Scariest Characters in Video Game History [http://www.joystickdivision.com/2010/04/the_top_ten_scariest_character.php]

One of two things:

Also? Mewtwo. Well, no. Not so much "Mewtwo", in the proper sense, as that...thing that people keep drawing fanart of. Allow me to irrelevently rant for a moment, fellow Escapists, as there's a point. Why, in the name of every deity in every religion both real and fictional in all dimensions, do people want to make Mewtwo out as the illegitmate lovechild of Satan and Gollum who wants nothing but to corner you in a dimly lit area,look deeply into your eyes, whisper something apocalytically scary, then throw back his head and laugh as you die of fright-induced heart attack/choking on your own screams? He's got a sympathetic backstory in both the manga and anime, and by his second appearance in the latter, he's almost gotten frigging heroic, not to mention not looking very intimidating. So why, people,do I constantly browse through Pokémon fansites and come upon A JESUS CHRISTING HORRIFYING GRINNING SKELETON THING THAT WOULD MAKE SATAN SHIT BRICKS?!?!?!

In all seriousness, if anybody knows how this phenomenon came about, I'd really like an explanation.

Well, good sir, I'm glad to see you share my horror.

Seriously, mad props to the artist.

The holes...Oh my lawd, the holes...

lol, reminds me a bit of the Xenomorph from Alien.

As for me, I've never been scared of a character in a game, but what always gets me are the pesky little bastards that jump out at you, screeching. Headcrabs, Scythid, Mole Rats...if it falls into that category, it scares the shit outta me.

The SA-X from Metroid Fusion.

I don't know if any one has ever played that game, but if they have, they know what I'm talking about.

Gods, yes. Especially that one forced chase sequence in Sector 2. I'm sure you know the one.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

The Poison Zombie from Half-Life 2

Spoiler

God those things are freaky.

And Pyramid Head from the Silent Hill series:

[Dr. Danger]

Drakengard had a few note worthy scares. But the "Grotesqueries" never left me.

He'll get you with his bland and uninteresting personality!

ya i know but the giant blades, claws, and various instruments of blunt force trauma growing out of his limbs, plus the fact that he can eat you and take your image all sums up to someone i would not like to meet.

Cole McGrath could still kick his ass though *runs away from keyboard*
