Can’t believe half-life 1 was mentioned in this thread haha
Also yes, the first FEAR games had some good scary parts
Be a Lamarr in HL2 
Damnit. I read through all the posts in this thread and thought I was going to be the first one to say this. Also when you’re in the single-way mirror room. Nothing happens the first time but when you go back a fucking licker jumps through the glass. Every time I replay that part I’m still jittery as hell.
Fix’d
Dead Rsing with the clown. Especially the cutscene when I killed it.
No one here has mentioned Vampire: The Masqeurade-Bloodlines. The level with the haunted hotel is pretty tense. I think they must of researched real poltergeist disturbances such as moving objects and flickering lights, because it creeped the hell out of me. Great game, that one.
Yes, I’ve seen that, but I can’t play Condemned: Criminal Origins, the old Monolith games doesn’t seem to work on Vista or Windows 7 
Oh man, I almost forgot one: The Suffering.
Jesus fucking Christ, that is one frightening game. The main part that got me was this one time that you’re looking at security cameras and one happens to be showing you(the player) standing there looking at the screens. But then, from behind you, comes some crazy dead guy walking slowly towards your back. Naturally, you look away from the screens and behind you, but nothing is there. Seriously, that game is a scary fucking game man, I recommend it to anybody who likes horror games.
For me it was F.E.A.R. when I started to climb down a ladder Alma was there. Doom 3 simply scared me because I couldn’t see with out my flashlight and had to keep switching back and forth (Yes I am that lame), Dead Space is another one just simply because the Necromorphs can come from anywhere and I never expect it. F.E.A.R. 2 was kinda scary but the bar was lowered between F.E.A.R. and F.E.A.R. 2. Half life 2 ravenholm scares me every time. Ep2 poison zombie breathing from behind the door. Condemned I played at a friend’s once and kept jumping when ever something popped out of the shadows. (I call them druggies because the way they move around the area and fight in combat) Especially that one thing that you meet in the sewers and at first I thought it was a rat the way it moved. Well we both thought it was a rat…but when I turned the corner and came to the spot it was… I freaked out and shouted “Dude, That is not a rat! That is not a rat!” and killed it. I paused the game to bring my self back to normal and we spent five minutes in discussion of what it was. Neither one of us had a name for it besides ghoul. I still have yet to beat that game. Other than that, my final scariest moment in a game was in Tomb Raider when you come across the T-Rex and have to find a way to kill it. Always got me stuck in a cave.
Penumbra.
There’s so many parts that made me shit in my pants. Like when you first time go in to the mines and to the storage room where you could hear the whispering on the other side of that wooden door… It really freaked me out. And all the realistic interacting with the environment just makes it all many times scarier, like opening doors like for real and throwing stuff towards the enemies and then run like hell. Ah, to play those games again for the first time
So I played all the Penumbras and then I tried FEAR. I was very dissapointed. Sure, when I saw the dark figure of a little girl crawling towards me in a narrow vent I jumped few inches in the air, but that’s just it. It just makes you jump a few times, and then it’s just a normal game. IMO a pretty good one though.
I’ve also tried Dead Space, but when you have seen the monsters, then it’s just a few surprising jump-moments and gore. But don’t get me wrong, I actually loved the game and the atmosphere. I just get dissapointed when I want to get freaked out and then it’s just ‘meh’
But seriously, if you like horror games, you MUST play penumbra. Like right now. Can’t wait for Amnesia.
Midwifes were probably the scariest thing in SS2. It was a GREAT game, but I didn’t find it to scary.
I had heard it from afar and thought it was a fast zombie, so I casually strolled up and located the source of the sound. I stepped to close to the door, and well… :fffuuu:
Fuck yes this. This was the first game I played that actually scared me. I was about 8, and I got pissed off at the things with the shields towards the end of the crypts, ran out of ammo, and was forced to use TNT to kill everything.
And don’t forget when that Helga lady turned into the black bulging tar-looking monster.
And the levels with the labs. Those things without legs that hop around after you on their arms were fucked up.
And the super-soldats.
That was a VERY scary moment on my first play through. I had only seen one picture of a HL2 zombie up until then. I shat bricks.
I haven’t played Penumbra. Does it cause nightmares? :retard:
raisin
Nightmares…that depends of how old you are
But it DOES scares the shit out of anyone, of any age xD
To me the horrible control system the Penumbra series used broke so much the immersion that I didn’t get scared at all. I was just frustrated.
playing the game, in the dark while a little stoned was really scary
No one has mentioned the original Manhunt yet. That entire game is fucked up.
Especially the part when you’re cutting the guys’ balls off. Forgot what that weapon was. And when the Director tries to stuff his own viscera back into his abdomen, only to have it ripped back out again.
the first time i played through fear and that part where you go down in the sewer and Alma crosses in front of you freaked me out…
but the best jump i got was from the expansion. when you’re with your partner in the underground old city part (i think) and that thing comes outta the ground and proceeds to dismember him right in front of you… had to pause for a couple min after that one.
