Videogame characters you're afraid of.

[Tattaglia]

Poison Headcrabs. I had no clue they were about to show up in Ravenholm, and them hiss before they attack you. Jesus, I wasted all of my SMG grenades in thirty seconds after a pair of them showed up.

In real life.

Don't turn around, it's behind you.

 

[Soulgaunt]

Sander Cohen would definitely be on my list. More subtle version of scary, but he was surely creepy.

he was scary, funny,crazy, and awesome all at the same time

 

[Random Argument Man]

Pyramid Head... I was scared. He might jump at me anytime now.
Call of Cthulhu D.C.O.E had that damn monster in the factory level.
That zombie head humper in Half-Life 2 gets me.

 

[M Silverthorn]

The Regenerators from Resident Evil 4.
Any and all of the Skulltula spiders from Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. *shudder*

Also, Mother Brain from Super Metroid. That woman(?) creeps me right the hell out.

 

[LilGherkin]

Chimera from Resistance 2. They're a cross between super soldier and zombie which scares me incredibly.

 

[Optimystic]

The Regenerators from Resident Evil 4.

Oh god, especially the spiky ones...

Super Salvatore with the double chainsaw D:

 

[Dread_Reaper]

I used to fear General RAAM...

Until I blew that stubborn ************'s head off.

Alma is a good candidate as well, since by her very nature you cannot blow her head off.

-Dread_Reaper

 

[waw ninja]

Mike Toreno from GTA: San Andreas.

I worry time to time that he's going to appear in the back seat of my car, put a gun to my head and suggest I go steal a Harrier from the Navy.

you know what that is fair if a guy ever did that to me id say shoot me or go fuck yourself im no discredting myself for u go do it urself any way the thing im most scared of from a game would ah hell its 2 things to hard to chose from both from the ultimate zombie game (cept for maybey dead rising) those fucking hunters and tanks if i ever saw one come at me id be fuck im dead and shoot myself to hell with fighting those things the word monstrosity dosnt cover those things boomers are just gross and smokers well you wouldnt see them coming now ould you they'd just tongue you (i dont mean the sexualy way either wise guys thought id cover that before posting)

 

[Singularly Datarific]

The robot that always talk to you in Portal.In the last 30 minutes or so when she starts saying she'll kill you i was pretty scared.

GLaDOS? That was a hilarious character!

 

[Kyriptonite]

Well if i had to pick one it would be......the creepy pirate child thing salazar from resident evil 4, he dident ever scare me but by f**k he was creey (shutters), just that wee laugh sends chills up my spine.

 

[Sporky111]

Im really scared of the spider splicers from Bioshock (the ones with the rusty hooks). Just the start of the game, seeing one disembowel a guy then scream at you and hide in the shadows is pretty creepy.

I was also really afraid of balverines after I saw them in the first Fable. Couldnt sleep that night.

 

[sonicmaster1989]

Any enemy in Extermination. Don't know what that is? It's Dead Space 5 years ago and in an Antarctic research facility. You don't get any special future guns, just an M-16 with attachments. Oh, and did I mention that you can get the infection, and if left unchecked, you become one of the monsters? Yeah. I still won't play that game.

 

[Damien the Pigeon]

Missingno from pokemon blue. I guess that was my punishment for cheating.

...

Don't judge me, I was 7ish.

 

[meone007]

Albido from Xenosaga. The guy ripped his head off and stepped on it, cackling the whole time.

 

[gamegod25]

Redundant thread [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/9.77870].


Those Cyborg Midwives were scarier than S.H.O.D.A.N., but I eventually got over that through classical conditioning genocide procedures.

Yeah for some reason they really scared the crap outta me. I'd usually be pretty calm with the other enemies (just obstacles in my way) but whenever a midwife showed up it would freak me out and I'd get sloppy and waste lots of ammo/health. I got over it enough to get through the game but they still get to me more than any other enemy.

 

[KapnKerfuffle]

Trying to go for a now obvious one...
I've been fiddling a lot with MAME lately. I have to say...

SINISTAR

"BEWARE! I live!"

I forgot how creepy that game was. Your ship is so alone and it so quiet while you frantically mine bombs. Then there is the awful moment when SINISTAR is built and ready to kick your ass. Possible the scariest arcade game ever.

 

[Danglybits]

I'm not really scared of them because they can't get me, so I can taunt them through the screen all I want but as for who inspired the most in game dread or I would do anything to avoid;

Nemesis from RE3, he's got tentacles and is just so big, and the grenade launcher. The Insane Cancers from Silent Hill 3 were always pretty freaky just because I knew there was nothing I could do to stop them. Jenova from FFVII was pretty freaky too.

 

[DoW Lowen]

Regenerators from Resident Evil 4. I never figured how to kill them properly until years later, because I never found that thermo scope, so i resorted to shotguns and eventually infinite launchers. A few enemies freaked me out in the game actually.

 

[ihatefullmetalalchemist]

Barrett Wallace
And not because he has a gun and might kill me

 

[Magnaflame]

I could see that.

I'M A BLACK MAN!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!! Wait, I'm not racist.
FROM OUTER SPAAAAAACE!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!
