Scariest moment you've experienced in gaming? (Possible spoilers)

**Kargath** · 03-06-2005, 06:49 PM

Bathtub scene in Eternal Darkness. That scared the living **** out of me and gave me a mini panic attack. That game really screws with your head...

Gumby, dammit · 03-06-2005, 08:59 PM

Probably in Silent Hill 4, when your apartment starts getting haunted. All that crazy crap happening, Eileen's Robbie the Rabbit doll looking through the peephole and pointing at you, the decapitated head looking through your window... It scared me.

I have to agree with the bathtub scene in ED.

supakoopa128 · 03-07-2005, 06:25 PM

I don't play horror games often. Regular games are scary enough.

Stop laughing.

I'm serious, I was scared stiff for the entirty of the Metroid Prime series. I mean, screaming-out-loud-in-horror scared.

On an interesting side note, I've been having nightmares about RE4. A game I have yet to play.

I HATE RESIDENT EVIL GAMES!!! They're too damn scary.

... You get scared by regular games?

X-3 · 03-16-2005, 06:34 PM

I dont play scary games, but its tied between getting into a fight in FF2(Scares me sometimes) or seeing someone's eaten body in Doom III. Yes I played that.

Tub-O-Troopa · 03-16-2005, 10:15 PM

When the screen is almost entirely full in Tetris.

Kirin Damascus · 03-16-2005, 10:22 PM

I don't play scary games either, but the only one I can remember is when I was scared of losing all of my party members before a major boss battle in Tales of Symphonia.

***Ace Mercury*** · 03-16-2005, 10:23 PM

I remember, as a child, being unusually scared of several things on the NES. Most memorable were the Hawkmouth in SMB3 and ambushes on Operation: Wolf (mainly the alarm sound).

Swordmaster Link · 03-16-2005, 11:23 PM

That alarm noise on Metal Gear (NES) when you're spotted. Not only did that scare the living crap out of me when I was little, but I sucked at that game to boot.

[sage] · 03-18-2005, 12:01 AM

Oh ya, and not really scared, but in SMW I always hated it when ceilings came down and crushed you. Sorta unnerving to me way back then.

Viceroy Nute Gunray · 03-18-2005, 06:25 PM

Timed bored used to freak me out, especially when you were running out of time and the music got frantic.

I felt really cold for a long time after that.

The first time I got into a fight in Sweet Home startled me. My characters suddenly froze in their places, and it started playing this creepy "Bum...bum...bum..bum..bum bum bum bum bumbumbumbumbubububum" as it faded to black. I thought I stepped on a wrong spot, and Mamiya was coming to rip my heart out or something.

The fact I as treated to the following didn't ease me any:

Where are these lemmings going? The Super Nintendo Super Shire! Hop in line and follow them there!

Those marionettes in Devil May Cry are creepy at first. The game that's managed to mess with me most was Clive Barker's Undying. You walk into a green room, and see some thing eating the body of a person you were talking to moments earlier, broken glass everywhere. Another one of them comes crawling down the wall in front of you, seconds later. You use the scrying power in a perfectly normal room to see the most disturbing blood splatters and demented paintings, and you start to hear some girl's voice. Yeah, ****ed up game. I played it with stereoscopic 3D shutter glasses, so it was too damn real.

Wizard Wario · 03-19-2005, 02:02 PM

When I stepped on my PS2 and broke it.

Parrakarry · 03-19-2005, 11:58 PM

I was playing WoW, but there was a massive server lag spike and the game froze up, so I stopped the process and loaded it up again. My server wasn't there, but the website said it should be. I was scared.

Fireyoshi42 · 03-20-2005, 07:57 PM

1.When I got so mad I threw my controller down and the R2 button came off.luckily I put it back togethter.

2.When I was playing a game on my friends cellphone while walking a dog The dog broke off running and the cellphone broke!Luckily I put that together too!
