Have you ever had to take a break from a game because it was scary?

The first level in Metroid Prime. Yeah, I scare easily. :P

Those boos in mario gave me nightmares.

[QUOTE="tehsystemwarior"]That would be Oblivion for me. The dungeon missions scare the $#@% out of me. I also thought the dungeons sucked are were boring when they weren't scaring me.lucfonzy

YES! I thought I was the only one! The atmosphere is so eerie I just can't stand them.

Also I haven't completed Bioshock 1 (mainly because I'm stuck) but also cos it scares me.

I couldn't play F.E.A.R 1 by myself, nor Half Life 2 on my first playthrough, the same even goes for L4D1 the first time I played it.

But some games I just have to steer clear of, such as Alone in the Dark, Silent Hill and Resident Evil (the classic ones) I was scarred as a child by older family members playing them hehe.

Playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R: SOC one night, I was exploring an abandoned steelworks. I realised I was being stalked by a Bloodsucker, it made me very nervous and reluctant to continue deeper into the dark underground passages. I felt I had to save my game and turned it off to resume at a later time. No game has ever had that effect on me.

No. I don't play scary games.

Resident evil when I was like 7/8...

I've always had a wild imagination :)

Certain parts of Condemned scared the heck outta me, but I didn't feel the need to take a break from it.

Nah I always loved horror movies. So with horror games I was good to just keep going. jg4xchamp

Congratulations, champ. I just noticed you're a virgin again. :)

AND... I don't like horror movies really. Might be a reason I don't like horror games.

Just World of Goo....

I was scared that I would beat it too quickly. I loved that game.

No, I don't get scared very easily. Then again I've yet to play some of the scariest games, but fromwhat I have played--no.

A few games such as:

• Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem
• REmake
• and recently S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: SOC

Here, check out the scene at 2:12.:lol: It is from Vampire Rain. So bad, it's scary.:P

Ya when I was 11, and played RE on the PS1. That was the only game, and maybe the only time that I would be scared.

I never did play the Silent Hill series.

The scariest for me would be Half Life. It was late at night, I was home alone, and all the lights were out in the house. I was going through Ravenholm, and I was scared:cry:

The original F.E.A.R. There were times when I thought I was going to have a heart attack.

Dead space, if you played it alone at 3 am in an empty house, during a windy and rainy night in a lonely village could be pretty scary ;)

RE 1-2. I was 9 when i played it.

No, but I bought Half Life from Steam for 1.59 € (Go Steam :P !) , when I was in a vent a headcrab jumped on my head out of nowhere, and the flashlight illuminates almost nothing so it was 90% dark, I could just see the headcrab on my monitor.

Ravenholm wasn't scary at all compared to this (okay it way:P. The first time, but the second time it just pure fun :P, those saw blades are awesome)

Maybe I wouldn't call these situations scary, but really tense. And this is coming from a guy who played a lot of horror games and didn't find them scary.

No because games nowadays are not scary.....at all.dakan45

Only once for me. I have a long history with survival horror starting back in the 90's when I was just a kid playing silent hill and resident evil on the PSX.

I had no issue with either, the REmake on gamecube on the other hand forced me to take a time out. The crimson heads, or more so the fact that you dont know when they are gonna pop up from the corpses freaked me out.

Besides REmake nothing has freaked me out.

Not from any I have played, I mean it's a game how can you be scared by it?

I think it was actually Doom 3. that game was surprisingly scarey to me. Im a sucker for jump scares.

FEAR and it's expansions were TERRIFYING first time through. Like sometimes Alma would come and I'd jump and flick the computer off.

Not really that scary, but I really hated the forts in Oblivion.

One of the resident evils on gamecube.

Dead Space demo...

I haven't bought it yet I haven't worked up the courage...

I reminded me of the movie Event Horizon which freaked me the hell out!

I try to avoid games that I know will scare me. I'm easily startled as well (mitral valve prolapse symptom is what my doctor tells me) so that's why I hate being scared in games. I've avoided games like Biochock, Dead Space, Alan Wake, etc... because of that reason. Heck, the insects and spiders in games like Zelda, Borderlands, Dragon Age, etc... creep me out. I literally hated facing the rachni in Mass Effect 1 lol. Also flying things that come straight toward your game character creep me out. Anything that chases your character (with the exception of L4D since oddly zombies don't really scare me) is something that causes me to get very nervous.

Regardless, I just try to finish those parts as quickly as possible in the game rather than stop since I know I'll have to finish them eventually in order to move on

for me its Dino crises 1 ITS scared the **** out of me . u know old games surviving horror u dont have ammo but u can run by going from room to room then u can think how to kill things out or how to RUN but in this game the Dino COME After u in all rooms ONLY 1 room u are safe !! lol it was a hell of experience to me even that i played it like 6 years ago i was like 16 :D

The Crimson Heads in Resi 0 always made me crap myself, and sometimes take a break out of frustration. :P

Resident evil 2, it took me 6 months to beat that game because I took 3 month breaks... sad horror games is not what they use to be. nowdays just seem overly complicated *looks at dead space* then it needs to be.

I don't think so.

Every Fatal Frame ( I hate you Nintendo) and the Penumbra games did that to me.
