Scariest game?

[deeder7001]

I'm playing through F.E.A.R. at the moment and it is a bit creepy. I had to stop playing for the night because it creeps me out too much.

I used to have the same problem with parts of Half Life 1 and most of Ravenholm in HL2.

What other games are supposed to be scary?

doom 3 is ok on that aspect, play it in a dark room, adjust the brightness with the little black square, grey square thing, yeah it worked for me

woulda been a lot better if there was some kind of map though lol

[deeder7001]

Doom 3 wasn't really scary for me. I never played through the whole game though. Got bored with it pretty dang quick(less than 2 hours of gameplay).

[Too-DAMN-Much]

yeah it can be hard to get in since (for me anyway) most of the game consists of being lost, since there's no map, and a lot of the things that are supposed to be scary are scripted only, i know what you mean with F.E.A.R. the AI players were so fucking good, it freaked me out too.

Either you you ever play the expansion pack to F.E.A.R. (extraction point I believe). Was it any good? I was looking at it when it first came out but never got around to buying it.

F.E.A.R. was one of the best I've played in a long time...

So far I've only "jumped" a few times while playing. A couple of times the lights went out and I just started shooting randomly(in the game).

Alma and Fettel creep me out pretty good sometimes with the random appearances.

I like the AI in the game. Makes it more interesting and it won't play out the same way twice if you decide to re-play the level.

I haven't played the expansions to the game. I just got F.E.A.R. yesterday. The demo that came with my sound card got me interested in the game.


F.E.A.R. 2 will be out February 2009. At least that's what the site says.

i thought the main expansion was perseus mandate?

[deeder7001]

There's two expansion packs(Extraction Point and Perseus Mandate). I've read that the expansions aren't canon.

Anyways...

What other games are supposed to be scary?

I've read that Condemned and Fatal Frame are supposed to be pretty scary.

[EDIT] double post, why can i see the delete this post button if it doesn't let me use it? [/EDIT]

not sure, not really into the horror type genre, AITD 5 was ok, but the controls will make you cry, playable though, to be honest, controls aside not all that bad, probably supposed to be scary, but it's not, to me at least.

this month for gaming on PC is one of those "god, i wish it wasn't still nearly a whole month till xx game comes out" months, it's better than lately though, we've seen nothing but shit for PC come out for nearly 2 or 3 months and it's finally hopefully starting to end.

[deeder7001]

I'm still waiting for Gears of War 2 to come out next month.

[Too-DAMN-Much]

at least GTA IV and fallout 3 should keep you entertained untill then

I'm surprised no one mentioned any of the Silent Hill games. Even though the recent ones are garbage they all had freaky atmospheres.

The Suffering was released for free download some days ago, it can pretty scary when these flashbacks appear out of nothing.
