Scary/ F'd Up moments in Gaming

The Darkness.

As horrible as the game was, it had the moment that scared me the most in gaming.

I got bored after a while and went down into one of the subway tunnels. The train never came on that track, so I decided to walk down the tracks as far as I could go. The screen gradually starts getting darker, and darker, until you can’t see a damn thing.

The titular ‘Darkness’ warns you that only death awaits you here, and after a moment of silence, screams ‘Now!’ The headlights of a subway car flash on in front of you, and the sound of screaming brakes and a train horn blast at you just before it hits you and kills you.

I have never jumped that bad over a videogame since then.

Dead Space: Those goddamn mutant infant things, and how your recover animation is basically drop-kicking the shit out of babies.
Bioshock: When the Splicers talk to guns like children. I mean what the hell is up that?
F.E.A.R. and F.E.A.R. 2: When you find the puddles of melted people after Alma’s gone her rounds… and pretty much everything else to do with Alma.
The Sims 3: The whole creepy phenomenon after you torture a Sim to death, and how everyone in the tortured Sims house mysteriously dies off in suicidal ways… or is that just my game?

Guys, FEAR isn’t the only “scary” game out there ehhh, and I don’t know why but I don’t find it scary at all, but I guess most of you is young, so yeah…

[COLOR=‘Red’]Try Resident Evil from 1 to zero
silent hill’s
Fatal frame (project zero)
Darkness within
Call of cthulu
Penumbra
Alone in the dark (The whole saga, EVEN the old ones are scary, and not only by it graphics quality xD)
Condemned criminal origins (the first one)
Stalker shadow of chernobyl
Blair witch project
Nocturne
The suffering (it has it moments)
Obscure 1 and 2
Beneath a Steel Sky

Those are a few I’ve played, and I don’t remember the others at the moment

QFT, about the fucked up part. It didn’t have many scary parts but the one part (It was a very intense game though) that did genuinely scare me was Piggsy, when you first enter his lair, how it’s all dark and grainy, really run down and dilapidated. Also the fact that the director keeps a fat naked man that wears a severed pigs head in his attic, was pretty messed up too. Oh, and also that chainsaw.

#88

Resi 4 really got me on several different levels.
The first time you hear the roar of that chainsaw and realize that Dr. Sackhead isn’t going to go down with a few gunshots scared the shit outta me. The dude is constantly five feet behind you and you have a grand total of three seconds to unload everything you have into his face before he takes your goddamn head off.

Also, on the island in the kitchen when some guy bursts out of a goddamn oven and tries to throttle you. What was he doing in there?

Finally, I’d have to say the Regenerators scared me the most. Just the creepy way they walked towards you going “AHEEHEGHHEREGHAAAHGEEAHHEEAAGGAHHGRAHGGARAAHGREEEHEEE” with there breath made me want to curl into a little ball and never ever get up.

#89

Those Chainsaw goons in the Village level always made that level REAL fun, especially when your aiming with a PS2 controller.
/sarcasm

Bioshock was probably the first proper dark game I played, and that was freaky to see things walking in the shadows. I got used to it after a few hours though.

Oh yeah, Doom 3. That was actually the first dark game I played.

#91

For me, it was the Bottom of the Well in LoZ:OoT. For a Nintendo game, that part still creeps me out.
As far other games go…

that dark tunnel area in Opposing Forces with all those giant flea-like creatures with the purple lightning attacks.
and finding out why we don’t go to Ravenholm.

#92

Iron Helix. Every time that damn armed robot got me, I was really scared and frightened. I remember having nightmares from this game when I was a kid.

#93

The first time I ever really jumped was playing F.E.A.R. and one of the ‘visions’ has you in a hospital corridor which fills with blood, and then it cuts to you in a swimming pool, made me scared of water for the rest of the game. However, there were NO attacks related to water for either near to the end or even until towards the end of the first expansion (can’t remember which), and so I was starting to get over the fear of water. Then. one of the demons came out of the ground under water (in a cave bit), and I didn’t see it until it was dragging me down and killing me. :[

However, Call of Cthulhu is by far the creepiest and spookiest and most atmospheric game I’ve played as a whole, especially the parts where you start to go insane and lose control of the character while being chased by some monster, knowing you’re likely to die unless he comes back to normal for a bit!

#94

I wouldn’t mind owning one of those Iron Maidens as a pet, so long as it didn’t kill me. Or U3, the crab-human-something else tribed.

#95

You people should definitely play the Aliens vs predator FPS games as a marine.

You’ll be constantly shitting bricks.

#96

Regenerators and iron maidens from resident evil 4 were the scariest thing in the game. One time I trapped an iron maiden behind a gate and was like heh these guys aren’t so bad… then the gate opened on its own :FFFUUU:.

The worst thing was their breathing, knowing they were near by, but not sure where :frowning: .

#97

Bought it ages ago, never played it, Windows 7 won’t let me install it. :meh:

#98

Get the Steam version. It has been updated to run on modern system.

#99

The only game that can scare me on following playthroughs is Condemned. The intelligent AI, coupled with their ability to hide behind walls and shit, allows them to vanish and reappear when you turn your back.

Every encounter is unique…and terrifying.

Okay seriously. Am I the only person that has even heard of Nightmare House?
