rhibakuska Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 so, after a couple of technic "SSSSS.. a creeper suddenly appeared" moments, i decided to take a little break by playing horror games, i started with Dead Space 1&2, then Dead Island, Peneumbra, Siren, and the oh-so-F*** Amnesia: Dark Descent. and finished all of those.. and thus, i want to scream... erm.. play more.. so any idea on what horror games are the best? Old School games are also welcome. thanks!
FFGF Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 Bioshock was pretty scary until you know exactly what was going on.
Neowulf Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 Silent hill, the original one, in a darkened room. Radio static still scares the crap out of me.

rhibakuska Posted August 1, 2012 Author Posted August 1, 2012 I heard about SCP. ._. Very scary stuff. Bioshock,never tried that, thanks for the idea. XD Oh, crap. I have played silent hill 1~4 but i must say. 2 is the scariest. i'm sorry i can't quote the messages, because i'm using the mobile version.
bwillb Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 There are only two games that have ever actually scared me, and in both of them it was just small sections of a larger not-scary game. These are the Ocean House level of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, and the orphanage level of Thief: Deadly Shadows.

bwillb Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 what platform are those? PC, and I believe also xbox
Torezu Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 Half-life 2 actually made me jump several times, until you get used to certain enemies.
Xylord Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 Half-life 2 actually made me jump several times, until you get used to certain enemies. Well, I wouldn't go as far as calling it a "scary" game, even though the stalkers really ARE awfully creepy. On my side, I'd say Resident Evil 1 has some good moments. On the other hand, I was pretty disappointed with the fifth, for the atmosphere. It's pretty saddening that Capcom chose the "Mainstream TPS Action" path, when the series had amazing potential.

Try Clive Barker's Undying. i've researched it, thanks bro!
BuccaneerRex Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 well, what i'm looking for are the games that will, make your heart race for most of the time, like "oh, crap. i'm so screwed" i've researched it, thanks bro! If it's the "oh crap I'm screwed" feeling you're looking for, just wait until you're in the catacombs, fighting skeletons, and you run out of bullets. Play in the dark with the sound up.
Kingfisher1112 Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 Slender. Amnesia doesn't do it for me but slender is small and simple.
The_DarthMoogle Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 Amnesia was incredibly well done, but I could just grit my teeth and get through it, same with Slender. It all comes down to atmosphere, and the 'oh, this is it, I'm done for' feeling is pretty hard to achieve, but impossibly effective. Containment Breach was excellent with that. 087-B is based on the stories in SCP as well, and is very effective. http://scpcb.wordpress.com/scp-087-b/ Silent Hill two is the best in it's series by far. Condemned : Criminal Origins was very nicely done indeed, but I'm tempting fate here (you so pussy dat game wasnt scary) Finally, System Shock II. You have to play this game. They even made an optional patch to remove some of the enemies, because people couldn't man up and face them.
rhibakuska Posted August 5, 2012 Author Posted August 5, 2012 Slender. Amnesia doesn't do it for me but slender is small and simple. yeah, and i think it's still on Alpha? now i'm really curious what will the game be when it's finished XD SCP ._. that feeling that something is following you and cramming up to get away. hell. ~_~ i also enjoyed Condemned: Criminal Origins. i like the "searching for clues" thing and how FREAKING rare the guns are. thanks for the tip about system shock II, can i turn off all the mobs? XD
Ch34t3rs1 Posted August 8, 2012 Posted August 8, 2012 You should play Ju-On - The Grudge or whatever it's called and Slender, and Never Ending Staircase
rhibakuska Posted August 8, 2012 Author Posted August 8, 2012 You should play Ju-On - The Grudge or whatever it's called and Slender, and Never Ending Staircase i have played the Grudge, on the Wii and Slender.
Xylord Posted August 8, 2012 Posted August 8, 2012 How about the Maze Game?? It's not really a scary game. You fail, you get surprised, and then it's just a very shitty flash game.
VoidTekk Posted August 8, 2012 Posted August 8, 2012 Ok play Slender with full blast headphones, in your house alone, in a darkened closet, and stare closely at the screen... very scary :/. Or play it outside in a forest alone. Either one should be kinda scary :/
Jay? Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 So uh, i may be a wimp in this area, but F.E.A.R. Scared the crap out of me on multiple occasions. to the point where i had to revert to an old save once, because i emptied all my ammo into something that wasn't even there, and couldn't complete the mission.
