I'll start
ITT: enemies that made you shit yourself
...
Explain this to a poorfag
Basically
my irritable bowel heh
Those cunts were the first time I felt excitement while playing bloodborne.
From a distance they look they regular old shambling dudes, but they have a very large aggro range and once they notice you they run out you sonic fast while screaming like maniacs. Doesn't help that they have weird proportions with stretched out arms and are pretty tall. It can be surprising the first time you come across one since you can aggro it from all the way across the room before even knowing its there.
...
Every single time I come across a Hammer Haunt, I'll never forget my first encounter with it and I always feel dread whenever I hear its sounds. youtube.com
>spawns behind you
>nothing personal, kid
Oh fuck those guys.
There are a lot of things that make these fucks horrible. Your attacks don't stagger them at all. You can't knock them out of their attacks so if they start up while you're attacking you're fucked. They're tough as hell and can wipe you in two hits. Do you see that blur on him? They're fast. If you aggro one on the other end of the room it'll have hit you within a few seconds. They're aggro range makes no fucking sense. I've walked within about thirty feet of one and it just stood there, but at other times I've aggroed them from several rooms away. All you hear is some horrible screaming coming from somewhere and you don't know where it's coming from. In a few seconds that won't matter.
These things freaked me out so fucking hard before I understood what made them appear. As boring as the chalice dungeons were, they did get some things right.
Creepy fast animations, horrifying screaming, and I don't know if it's intentional or just coincidence or what but I swear their heads are angled so that their face is always staring out of the screen and at the player instead of your character which adds a lot to the freakout factor. They also hit like fucking trucks so they're not just some pushovers either.
the iron golem for me, the air blast hit me as I walked in was a holy shit moment more than a spook but poops were had
...
oh hi Mark
Iron Golem has that bug where the air blast more often than not will hit the middle of the arena before you can even reach it. I thought that was the normal behavior and after several playthroughs it suddenly hit me once and made me panic
When I first saw one of these as a yougun I was scared XD
yet another reason why I don't do chalice dungeons.
...
...
You can stagger them with certain weapons, but they have a lot of hyperarmour on their attacks. Augur sends them flying, like most other enemies
...
Fucking RE4 Regenerators almost gave me a heart attack.
WAIT DOES HE JUST FUCKING DO THAT TO THE BACKGROUND
>As boring as the chalice dungeons were, they did get some things right.
they did a lot of things right, but most people never saw the most interesting parts. If they cut out the first two depths and presented the chalices as an endgame, ng+ thing, they would probably be better accepted. Cfr dungeons are full of cool stuff but most people just get burned out while trying to reach Queen Yharnam
>playing as a girl in dragon's dogma
wot game is dat
I can never parry these fuckers because they always freak me out. I hate fighting them so much
google RIS you underageb&
I'm still butting heads with the Abhorrent Beast and its wicked kung fu.
>people are afraid of this parry bait
>but no one bats an eye at the GIANT TANGLED MASS OF SNAKES
I'd get pretty fucking spooked on L4D when I could hear the tank music and the screen would shake, but I didn't know where it was yet.
Hunter pounces with the volume too high did the trick as well.
>You have startled the Witch!
man why did they ruin wheel skellies so much in 2&3
that basement in ariamis was panic inducing
Before I learned I could one shot the witch the shotgun I would piss myself whenever I heard it crying
That's just a big ball of snek.
This is screaming zombie sonic the hedgehog.
>Insta-kill on Expert
Shit got intense real quick
I couldn't play any game with zombies in it until 3-4 years ago (and I'm currently 29), not even Dark Souls.
But then charger joins in
>Smoker/Hunter combo
>Smoker/Spitter combo
>Almighty Hunter/Spitter combo
GG, never had a chance
>all the tension with encountering witches evaporates after you learn how to one shot her
Good job Valve, really good decision making this one part of your game pointless
...
>that redead in the oasis basement
Please don-
...
>see pic related for the first time
>don't know what the fuck it is but it's huge so I swarm it
>lose nearly all of my pikmin immediately
I also didn't have any purple pikmin the first time I encountered the waterwraith and it literally steamrolled me.
...
>that second fase where he jumps around and can one shot you
1. even after all this time and countless playthroughs, these 2 gentlemen always fuck me up. I've never learned their moveset and how to properly dodge them. It feels like every time I kill them, it was pure luck.
2. literally nottinn personell kid: the character. one mistake and you're done. I'm always nervous going into this fight
It reminds me a lot of The Many
youtube.com
It's even more iconic as it is Garret in there doing the male voice of The Many
I went back and replayed this recently and i still found these things unnerving. The people who say RE4 had no horror elements pribably never made it past the village.
These guys up until I found out that just jumping on their back to bait the bodyslam and then just jumping off makes them a joke.
...

The first time I saw one I just froze in place, they close the gap way faster than any other enemy in the game
>*L2 into visceral*
>*Augur*
>*stagger to death with big weapon*
I admit that they were scary at the beginning but they get pretty easy after seeing them 3 to 4 times.
Unashamedly, the leshen in TW3. Not the quest one.
As soon as I got to the main map at like level 6, I started wandering around trying to explore every corner - Was having a casual stroll through the forest when suddenly that spooky fuckin' swamp song starts up and one of these fuckers teleports behind me and almost one-hits me. I jump on the horse and start running but it's fuckin' following me keeping up speed.
>I was abusing benzos and playing at like 4am in the dark at the time.
Frosty chocolate milkshakes
This was the first enemy in a game that spooked me. I remember tensing up when they got close and you couldn't defeat them since they were invulnerable. Didn't help that I was shit at games back then anyway.
...
...
The fat and content ones in the DLC aren't scary at all. The thirsty ones at the castle that spot you from a mile away and then crawl over at lightning speed are.
>exploding babies and zombie kids are ok
>a female character showing little cleavage is going too far
Really makes you think, huh?
Have fun trying to stagger me!
The infected in Dead Island.
They run at you screaming from a mile off. I fucking hate that. The butchers were spooky too the first time I encountered them.
The worst part was walking into the room and immediately knowing it would break out of the tube at some point.
Do you just shoot it with the shotgun? No tricks?
I asked for a friend to play this level for me because I couldn't finish it when I was young
Also years later I noticed their jokes about penises
Just go as close to it as possible and shoot it in the face. Works every time
>Playing as a man in Bitterbutt Isle
America is a magical place
It wasn't scary at all. I played it when I was 14. I found regenerators to be more cool than scary.
Either the face or back of the head. On Normal you just need all pellets to hit so you can wait for it to stand up and aim for her center for a wider target.

>"An Eliminator comes!" *cue intense version of the battle theme*
Wanna know something funny about these guys?
They're called labyrinth SAGES
I shit my pants everytime I see this beast.
Blood=)....

Project Beast
>when going through the residential district you can hear children and babies being killed by necromorphs.
The only time I've ever got seriously scared playing a video game.
That house near the Haunted Cathedral is still the scariest level I've ever played. One of the haunts glitched on the stairs and I had to creed around him for 5 agonizing minutes as I heard stuff about "Flames! Flames! Nothing around you but flames burning your flesh!"
>First play through
>Run out of shotgun ammo outside the library
>Don't stealth any sections because 12
One of the most intense missions in a game for me
Walking death machines
I dreaded fighting elder ogres until I started using rusty weapons on them. Torpor sort of ruins the challenge of trying to land counters on them when they get super fast.
You're grinding some levels in Mansha Forest when this guy comes and slaps you on the ass.
What do?
>Countering in DD
>A challenge at all
Hold down the button and laugh. The parry window is insane for daggers and swords both.
Dead Space is..not underrated but fuck me I loved that game.
It did atmosphere so fucking well, trodding along like the cathedral with flesh sopping and clinging to your foot. dividers. your first brute fight. being in zero-g and the paranoia of flying out into space, of suffocating. and of course the god damn Hunter.
the xenomorph wasn't very scary by comparison. actually 2 didn't feel scary in general compared to 1 at least
autism is judging people
I beat resident evil 1 when I was 7 and it didn't scare me too badly. I'll literally start sweating and shut a game off if I fall into a ocean or something though - and I'm 24.
Him.
How do you make them appear? I've only seen it once and I don't know where it came from.
There is a part towards the end of Silent Hill 2 where you have to use an Elavtor to get to a lower floor in a Hotel. The elavator has a max weight and you need to put everything you have into a box before you can go down. This includes your healing items, guns, ammo and melee weapons, even your torch.
Then when you reach the lower floor the first thing you see is the silhouette of a Mannequins legs, outstretched before you. It hasn't noticed you but you can't fight it.
Dropped my fudge first time I saw it
If Dead Space would've been less in your face with it's absolutely awful storyline, it would've been a helluvalot better game. It was a great game anyway, but holy fucking shit the unskippable cutscenes and how much they just don't shut the fuck up about how insanely stupid the game's plot is drove me nuts. Completely took me out of the atmosphere and suspense.
holy shit what an appropriate picture
it was an unexpected level
>What is this weird ringing noise
>Why is my screen changing color-
>JESUS CHRIST WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT
>WHY WON'T IT DIE WHEN I SHOOT IT
>when your character is female
That's an ogress, user.
