Is it all a mind set? or are some games scary?

I mean take F.E.A.R. for example, yeah sorta creepy, but not scary. People say fear 2 will be even more scary...

I would love nothing more then for a game to scare the freaking crap outta me.

Dead Space did a good job. I mean having an enemy come at you when your back is turned and then its right there... yeah kudos for Dead Space. And I hope Fear 2 is scary too :)

I have not really gotten into the demo of FEAR 2, but is it scary at all?

qwertyoip

i loved both dead space and fear, but I actually found Fear more creepy cuz of the atmosphere and the fact that no matter what, u cant deal with alma using only a gun

I guess having some sort of high powered arsenal at my disposal with which to blast away at any undead/demon or who knows what takes away from the feeling for me. Makes me feel in control and thus it takes a lot more to phase me.

I still remember when Doom 3 came out for the origianl Xbox. It scared the crap out of me.rh06

Good call ! I remember they did a real nice job on the creepy and scary in that game! The Flashlight issue still bugs me .LOL I know it was done for the tension and scare ,but come on ... no flashlight and gun at the sametime ..LOL!!

I died more than a few times throught that ghame because of that.

I'd see an enemy, try to shoot but I would only swing the flashlight.

That's the "monster in the closet" formula you're talking about, it's easily done,and doesn't need much thinking, more like cheap than good to me, play Condemned 2 or Doom 3 for that, both Fear 1 and 2 are more action focused, they have some scary parts though, like when Alma came crawling towards me out of the dark, in Mission 6 i think, in the offices part.

Or the ghost haunting you in the hospital, in the FEAR 2 demo.

Condemned - I haven't even played the 2nd one and truthfully I'm not sure if I want to!progrmr

Condemned 2 was so scary to me, I got thru the first few chapters and then traded it in. I just couldnt play it without being rattled. Really.

I dont know what it was. I play on a 51 inch HDTV with 5.1 surround sound....plus I only play at night when I get off work. From 11 til. So I would be crawling thru the level...inch by inch. I just got outdone and traded it.

Condemned 2 has it's moments for sure gets less scary in the last chapter though. But the middle section of the game has plenty of frights, you should pick it up and don't watch any spoilers or you'll ruin the tension for yourself.

If you thought Dead Space was really scary, then you obviously have a taste for western horror, which to me is not really scary at all. Japanese horror to me is as good as it'll get, Silent Hill and Fatal Frame will make you pee your pants, constantly.grafkhun

I think some people are lying when they say games aren't scary. I remember talking to a friend while playing FEAR the second time through and when you get to the first ladder I knew it was coming and wasn't phased at all. I told him "I remembered tha-" and then just froze mid-sentence when I got to the bottom of the ladder and saw something else. "I didn't remember that"

Another time I was walking down a hall and a guy flew through a window and smashed against a wall. I tensed up and my friend said "When did that guy get there?" :lol:

The FEAR 2 demo freaked me smooth out.

ever seen a room full of people playing singstar abba? - SCARY!!!

Wow. You found Dead Space scary, but not F.E.A.R?

Dead Space isn't a scary game. It's all just startles here and there (like an alien jumping out of nowhere). F.E.A.R on the other hand used it's atmosphere and horror sequences to put a real scare in you.
