Alright

But there are many horrible scary games.

amnesia: the dark descent is scary

Entirely untrue. The problem is that horror is actually hard to set up because it requires getting into a player's head, seeding paranoia and discomfort, and then slowly letting that build.

Jumpscares on the other hand are easier, braindead, always get a quick reaction and are funnier for streamers, so the equally braindead game makers just load up a product with them and call it quits.

I mean hell look even at DS1/DS2 if you want horror and that shit had guns and the ability to fight back. I call you a filthy liar if when in DS2 they show Ishimura to you and say "Guess what shitlord, you're going baaaaack" you didn't clench your cheeks with the force of a thousand suns as the PTSD came rushing back. Then instead of instantly slamming you with bullshit, they slowly rise up the tension as you mutter "Fuck this fuck this seriously fuck this", spring the bullshit, then immediately drop back to suspense.

RE7 freaked me out the first time through. Everything about the kids' quarters was dread.

Fuck the sun

...

They're not scary anymore because you grew up

worst thing is the fact that i knew the fucker will be in the kid's area, but forgot because of expecting damn little ammo eaters that pops out

Hold on to your butts.

Hold on to your butts.

>9:20

I'd have a heart attack

SOMA and Penumbra Black Plague freaked me right the fuck out

I was JUST about to come in here to post this.

I'm not opening that vid tonight, though. I'm the only person in the apartment.

no you are not

Problem is most horror games have a gimmick which only works one or two times before you get the mechanics down and the game ceases to be scary. It's hard to pad things out over several hours.

True

You wanna know why they aren't scary? Because you have no fear of death. Death or physical hurt is why we are scared.
In a game you can pause, look away, and even just turn it off and you know this. No actual fear of death because it's just a game and you know this subconsciously.

VR games will fix this. in VR you can't turn your head to look away for realsies, you just stay in the world, engrossed in it's plot. When they get more advanced I can almost guarantee they will scare you, because you will have that fear user.

Yes, I fucking am. Stop shitposting.

how about shrek simulator?

>Tfw spooked when alone
Gimme comfort hugs

Not falling for your tricks, demon. Now get out.

Just look in your closet, user. Come here and give me hugs.

Whoa, is this a re-run? Having that much HP and Stasis at that point is absurd

Only thing in there was a toothbrush. Now get out of my thread before I dick you to hell.

>Look in closet
>Only thing in there was a toothbrush.

>Soma
Just beat the game and it wasn't really scary. Most enemies have easily manipulated gimmicks

>A toothbrush in the closet

user, you aren't alone. Call the cops

What, do people not keep their spare toothbrushes in the closet?

Yeah, if their PC is set up in the bathroom.

I never said I was in there, was I? Take that toothbrush and put it back in the bathroom where it belongs; I'll be waiting for that dicking.

user, are you the monster?

sauce

Your PC isn't in the bathroom?

No. he's in your bathroom

The philosophical and existential implications are what fucked me up desu, monsters were meh

>this door at this place seems sketchy as fuck
>start opening it and run back to hide
>yep, monster
>walk past it without a problem because I had a head start
>read about the different monsters later
>apparently this was the hardest one in the game

When you start understanding triggers in vidya it loses a lot of its magic

Nigga, I'M in the bathroom. I moved my PC and two monitors in here so I could shit while playing Diablo.

Could you please give me a link so that I don't have to sign up for any shitty secret clubs.

...

>tfw giant coward and jumpscares put me off games completely

breh

e-hentai.org/g/208977/5ad1ef0208/

Same. I don't even know why, I just can't handle jumpscares. Even ones I know are coming.

Pretty much. Although I can take vidya much better than movies, since I'm in control of everything when I know something is about to happen. And there's so many movies that seem really interesting...

>amnesia: the dark descent is scary
Until the purple jam starts oozing from the walls. Why didn't they make it red?
It took me right out of the game

I don't like these kinds of threads.

oh no, I'm curious now to watch the vid, but don't want to be scared. wat do?

Who was screaming a the end?

Just watch it user. What's the worst that could happen?

you

Play the game instead, fag

...

I have to admit, I never really played any horror games beside the old Silent Hill games on consoles. What are some good PC horror games to get into?
Maybe ones that don't spoop me too much? I'm not into FPS and first person perspectives always spook me.

is the fun factor worth all of the stress of bein terrified?

Yes, of course

After completing Amnesia I don't have fear anymore.

Alan Wake

This. Even things in non-horror games that could be perceived as jumpscares like an enemy attacking me from behind scares the shit out of me.

Amnesia is the least scary game that company made

What other games did they make?

Penumbra series and Soma.
A Machine for Pigs doesn't count
Justine is DLC-tier short but I almost shat myself a few times playing it

horror games are scary.

I thought Soma was pretty shitty actually and Catherine was an infuriating stupid bitch.

>I thought Soma was pretty shitty actually
why though

It was far from flawless but I liked it a lot
I've always been interested in abyssopelagic stuff so there's that

Oops I meant pretty shitty horror-wise, I liked the plot idea as it had a lot of potential but it felt like a long walking simulator that didn't scare me at all. The conclusion was disappointing though.

>screaming chasing enemy
I hate it when horror games do this.

> Penumbra

Spiders and old men aren't scary. Worm was tense, too bad it appears only like a few times.

>reducing horror games to first degree threats and monsters
why do you keep doing this

>play silent hill
>monsters are so slow and retarded that you can just walk/run past everything
>ammo/health packs fucking everywhere
>radio tells you how far monsters are or if there are any at all
why do people say these games are scary

F.E.A.R. scared me

Catherine is smart and cool
Simon is the dumbass

p.t.

Of course AMfP doesn't count. It was made by The Chinese Room

>there is no scary horror ga-
youtu.be/B0fm2lRrEg0?t=30

>rather than actual spooky sounds, it's just overblown screams at 5x the volume of everything else and almost epileptic levels of white flashes
Why did they think this was a good idea?

I love spooky atmosphere and monsters, What i hate is obnoxiously loud sound effects meant to startle you.

Because they were aiming at the streamer audience

I actually found Black Plague to be kind of a let down
I played it after Amnesia, and maybe it spoiled me.
I mean I had a fuckin' great time with the whole Penumbra series but it felt more like psychological thriller than a horror game.

>9:10
Love how in vids like this you can see the player jolt the mouse. Like in this one youtu.be/oR6WBGKw0MA
SS2 was spooky sometimes.

The scariest thing in that video is the graphics.

Haha real original man lol!

Get the fuck off my board you god damn child

But it was red. Are you colorblind?

Pretending graphics that ugly don't ruin the atmosphere and immersion, which are essential to horror games, is literally delusional.

Nigger I first played it like 2 months ago. Nobody cares about graphics, just art style. You're obviously 10 if you think thats bad.

not really a horror game but it would be cool if it was and not vr

>this game from 98' isn't up to 2017 standards, how can this be

"No visual content in games or movies can scare me, it's all boring"

I hate cunts like you. I bet tickles don't work on you either and you wear t shirts during winters. Fuck you.

Cry of Fear.

I get spooked easily and I am very ticklish. I hate it

>bro its not even cold

Playing this outdated shit when we have genuinely amazing horror experiences now like Amnesia and Soma is really sad. I feel bad for you more than anything. You don't know how great horror games can be. You should try them, you won't even want to look at that old game after that. It's wonderful here in modern times, feel free to join us.

This is some serious bait but in case its not, don't talk shit about games you haven't played just because they're older than you.

>For some reason, decide to watch a few of its mod reviews as background noise
>Everyone's complaining about level design, cramped spaces and even difficulty
The nerve these people have to call themselves reviewers I swear.

I don't want to just walk around while spooky shit happens, those are the worst horror games. Ooh you have limited oil in your lantern, deep gameplay

>don't talk shit about games you haven't played
Not wasting my time playing bad games is a sign of good time management. That's a good thing. Please, actually do try the newer stuff. There are some good recommendations in this thread. It'll bring a whole new understanding of the potential of this genre.

Exactly my problem with most horror games. They're just walking simulators with no real gameplay except for ZOMG RUN!!! and mediocre tl;dr plots

The sounds the enemies in SS1 made always spooked the fuck out of me

I played Slender the Arrival once bevause some faggot gifted it to me and I was just walking around for like 30 minutes with nothing to do, and I started getting really annoyed because I was so fucking bored then every few minutes "ooh spooky man" but he would never do anything. I kept trying to run up to him and let him kill me and nothing would ever happen. God damn that game pissed me off. Can't believe it was so popular.

What's with flashing porn pictures in this game?
