Bioshock Scariness

The only scary bits were when you came across a corpse that suddenly comes to life with a scream and jumps at you.

Remember that bit in Hephaestus where you go into that long room, the lights go out twice with sounds of laughter, and when you go back to the start of the room(as the door up ahead was locked) the corpses scream and leap at you. That bit got me good.

not played the full game yet so i cant comment fully, the demo was gritty but thats wat makes games like bioshock good.cant be as bad as playing Re4 in someones basement with the lights off tho

Now, I know the devs probably weren't looking to make it a frightening game, but if the Big Daddies attacked you on sight rather than ignoring you till you hurt them or got too close to a Little Sister, it would be a hell of a lot scarier. Just picture walking down a flooded hallway, then all of a sudden you hear the heavy stomping, and the long drawn out groans of a Big Daddy. Then, you round the corner only to see the green lights on his helmet turn red and him charging after you like a madman.

As it is, though, it's not very scary. It's kind of creepy, and some parts have me glancing over my shoulder to make sure there isn't a splicer behind me, but overall it doesn't have me on edge like Doom 3 did.

There was one part where you go down into a flooded room and there's a corpse sitting in a chair and facing the wall. Then, you go over to use the vending machine and when you turn around, the "corpse" is doing aballet pose right infront of youbefore screaming and swinging her weapon at you. That made me jump a little.

If you hear some Irish guy singing "Jesus loves me and I know..." it's officially time to crap your pants and start running. Or find a wrench...Tamashii-sosaku

Thats hilarious, if anything.

That part didn't really scare me much, but I did get to the point where I didn't like going past a "corpse" because they started jumping up at you somewhat often after that. Moreso from the annoyance of having to kill yet more slicers, and these ones seemingly dead before you walk past them. There was a small "wtf" moment there when the lights go off and then come back on and the corpse I was about to loot was missing. :P

If I hadn't seen that part before coming across the one that pops up behind the casket in the morgue in the medical pavilion, that probably would have made me jump.

What's scary is how much time I've already spent playing this game.

P.S. tell my wife and kids I love them.

I dont understand how people can be scared of video games and movies.

This game is not scary at all. But it does have a fantastic setting and atmosphere.

Oh yeah, and after the third corpse jumped up at me, I started torching all corpses I came across.

Some of it is creepy but ive never been scared because of it.Pepsidesk

yeah i'd say not so much scary as it is creepy

The bit in the medical pavilion with the fog that comes down that freezes you.

people who have played that part lknow what i mean. make me jump in a "woah jesus" kinda way

Condemned is scarier. When you play Condemned when the crazy enemies come at you you don't have a nice electric shooting shotgun at your disposal to make you feel safer.-MlKE-

WILL YOU KINDLY...Thomasdeleo

would* =p

I FOUND IT PRETTY SCARY
