^ topic. I'm thinking about buying Bioshock, but I'm a bit of a wimp when it comes to horror games. How does this game rate in scare factor?

It's kind of creepy at the start but once you get in to it, it's not really scary.

Nah, more like eerie. There are some things in the game that make you go, "is this the twilight zone?"

It does have its moments, but nothing too scary. It's more disturbing and creepy than scary.

At the beginning, with no weapons there are some pretty creepy moments. After that, no.

I found it pretty creepy for the first thirty minutes to an hour. The whole thing had a creepy presence to it. But you get a bit used to it over time, much like anything else.

The first parts of the game may get to you, but it gets better after that. Once you get better equiped then there's ntohing to really be scared of.

Honestly? I get more scares over opening my fridge, then I get from playing Bioshock.

Never felt scared in that game, I felt a bit sad for the people in it, how they got warped so, and lost all touch, so much infact that I often felt releaved when I shot them...

I do not think it was made to be scary tbh, maybe alittle stateling, but they did not suceed in that.

The game does an amazing job of conveying a mood. It does get creep and suspensefull. I think it's a fun game to play with other people, it's like watching a movie for people that aren't playing. I can't wait for B2.

I would advise you clean your fridge then. You shouldn't be scared period when opening your fridge :P

I played the demo and I was a little creeped out. I get scared by pretty much everything though, so my opinion is kind of biased. I still want to get the game though.

Not scary, there were a few parts that were slightly weird/creepy but nothing was really scary.

I'd say it has a more "Scifi" feel to it. Yeah, there were a couple times when I might have jumped (people kinda popping up). But it's not a scary game, it's awesome though. Its in my top 3. You shouldn't have any trouble with it.

Not really, unless you have respawning turned off, but that's if you're not very good.

I was kinda creeped out by it, especially the first time I went through it, if I played at night.

I wouldn't say it's scary (although I can't think of any game that's unsettled me in that regard bar Eternal Darkness) but it is atmospheric as all get-out.

I believe scary games are similar to scary movies in that you can control the affects it has depending on the environment. If you want a scary, suspensful experience play at night with the lights off, by yourself, with headphones on; this will force your attention to become immersed in the environment and you'll be distracted only by the slightest noises you hear in the background. As for Bioshock - it's more suspense/ thriller than scary.

It's got a creepy and eerie feeling and a few startling parts, but the atmosphere is amazing, it would b a crime not to get it. Im kinda a wimp sometimes but i got over it, it's really fun to play with a friend cuz it gets intense, especially if your friend is the biggest wimp ever.
