any1 else play horror games only at night?

its the only genre of videogame i find myself saying "gotta wait til sundown" and playing occurdingly

even tho i have my windows covered for that specific reason, it still lets in light, which kills the mood

anyone else feel similar?

I do it, too. And all other lights have to be out. It just enhances the atmosphere!

I try to but people in my house always wanna watch tv at night. I agree that they should be played then.

Yea, I remember back in high school, staying up all night playing Re: 3 on Dreamcast. Sometimes I couldn't get myself to go to school in the morning, still playing and all.

Me. I normally play RPG's in the morning and horros or action adventure games at night. Playing Darksiders at moment, which isn't really horror. It seems like it's trying too hard to be awesome.

I do when I feel like having a good scare..otherwise I'll do it in the day time

Holy crap, I remember doing this with the first two Resident Evil games. Get a group together and play it. The beauty of the "clunky" controls is that it didn't really matter who was holding the controller--in fact, one of the people in the group didn't ever want to hold it, and would only help with the puzzles if enough people were in the room.

Lol me and three friends were playing project zero/fatal frame 2 over my mates house and i've never heard four grown men scream so much. By the end we were throwing the pad back and forth trying to get someone to play it.....God i should really grow a pair!Rammstein_1986

Yup I do that too, I refuse to play horror games during the day. It's gotta be at night, all the lights out, and preferably when I'm home alone.

i pplay horror games at night. but sometimes i have to play them in day because i couldnt finish them in night.

I try to only play during that time, it really adds horror to the atmosphere.

I'm pretty sure I've done this for the Resident Evil Remake for Game Cube and Dead Space.

It feels somewhat better at night, and with the lights off.. yeah that is fun.

and especially during stormy weather with the lights off:wink:

Playing horror games at night should be mandatory!! It's also alot scarier when your home alone in the dark with 3 cats who are hyper.

I try to, it does make a huge difference playing in the dark when it's quiet. If I play horror games in the daylight I usually have noise from other people and the only scare I get is straight up ones like something jumping out at you.

The only time I game period is at night with the lights off. That has just become the norm for me over the years.

I can't play them at all i'm an absolute wimp. I once played the GCube remake of resi, jumped and instinctively hit the off button...I hadn't saved in a while :-( Rammstein_1986

This thread is convincing me to play Silent Hill 2 for another round.

Yup. Lights down. Surround sound up. Playing them in a bright environment seems just...wrong.

Yep. Only horror game i have now though is Condemned 2. Nothing like half naked crackheads and hobos with pig masks to freak u out..

Of course! haha In fact I play all my games at night, regardless of genre now that I think about it!? =0

I'll play them at any time of the day, but; I prefer playing some, like Doom 3 or Silent Hill when it is dark.

Helen will only play horror games when all the lights are on, and I am in the room.

That's the best way to play them!

Yeah, I play them at night too, but only with a friend araound so I won't piss ma pants :D

Yes always.. lights out, decent volume, headphones.. great atmosphere.. and a great ambiance.
