you'd probably have a heart attack and die

Play it

then stream it on mic

I recommend OP should play wholesome and pleasant games like Silent Hill or Fatal Frame

Shaun of the dead scared you? really?

Dead Space is not scary at all. There's one or two moments where you might jump at something popping out, but it's not a horror game.

This is coming from a person who took a year to work up the courage to play through Ravenholm without noclipping.

>>46769800
I skipped ravenholm and never looked back

serious business pussy here

>>46769574
Dead Space is very intense with a lot of BOO scares and horrible rumbling wearing on your nerves.

Anyone who's completed a few Thief games or System Shock 2 should be sufficiently desensitized to the atmosphere, however it'll probably make most people shit themselves.

If it looks more like necromorph than corpse on the ground with bad lighting, it's gonna jump up.

Dead Space has a medium amount of pop out of a closet scares and a very unnerving atmosphere because of the sound design.

Doom 3 has a high amount of pop out of a closet scares but the atmosphere isn't as creepy as Dead Space.

FEAR has a low amount of pop out of a closet scared but when something does pop out it's pretty above average in terms of poo poo pants level. The atmosphere is right under Doom 3 in terms of poo poo pants level also.

This guide is 80% accurate so feel free to use it to rate poo poo pants levels in these games.

>>46769951

The first F.E.A.R. desensitized me. I learned to just not care what's around and just book it.

The moment you let Dead Space scare you it'll fuck with you almost the entire game. I love me some awesome atmosphere.

The scariest part of Dead Space is the awful mouse lag.

>>46769574

Don't worry OP, I got so scared of the first zombie in the opening cinematic in Resident Evil 0 I turned it off with my heart pounding....I then played Animal Crossing for the next two hours.

I'm in the same boat as you, OP. I fucking loved Dead Space.

OP i'm exactly the same way

my ex made me watch her play fatal frame, which while was an awesome game, oh god i am such a wuss ;_;

i cant even get past the first quarter of bioshock

Dead Space is confused.

It wants to be a horror game but the way it's set up you really feel it ought to be a shooter.

>>46770021

every time i play it im glad i dont smoke weed anymore

Dead Space has some of the best audio in any Horror game ever. No joke. Put on some headphones, play in the dark, and freak the shit out.

For maximum hilarity, stream it with your mic on.

>>46769951
>very intense
Only if you're a complete fucking puss. It's essentially someone jumping out of the closet yelling BOO.
>>46769574
Sack up OP. Ain't scary. And this is coming from someone who's afraid of heights and forced himself to play BioShock, even though it looked scary as fuck to me. once I played, I realized it wasn't scary

>>46770034
That's a vsync issue. I think turning it off fixes mouselag.

I've had this game for a year and I still haven't played it. Not out of fear, more because I just have better things to play.

>I'm so brave, I played Dead Space and didn't get scared at all
>Now time to go on the internet and tell people that they dead space isn't scary to them because it didn't scare me

OP, disregard people like this. They always show up to these threads and try to get people to give a shit about their personal game experience.

>>46770246

>Only if you're a complete fucking puss. It's essentially someone jumping out of the closet yelling BOO.

which is scary ;~;

The reason Dead Space isn't scary is because in all but one level, the enemies are slow and not very smart.

You never get the feeling of being overwhelmed, you always feel like you can easily handle whatever comes at you.

There are a couple parts with enemies that can't be killed and you have to freeze/vaporize/etc. them with traps, but those parts are action-packed areas and not creepy areas.

>>46770246
>complete fucking puss

I'm glad I am. That means I enjoy horror games while people like you just get mad about them :3

Dead Space was hard for me to play at first. It does the scary as sin atmosphere well, as many people pointed out.

My solution was thus: Turn off sound, turn up music, specifically, awesome music, I recommend Wolfmother, or Alexisonfire. Then just run around and kill everything.

Man, I played Condemned and I can't look at mannequins the same way again.

>>46770457
Get mad at what? I was bored out of my mind
>>46770400
And you get over it after the first time. It gets predictable after 10 minutes of starting it up

Thinking about it, I wonder if I could actually play through Fatal Frame 2 now. Played for like an hour and couldn't deal with it after. Since then I've beaten most of the "scary" games out there. Any opinions on FF 2 and comparisons to the others?

well nothing is scarier than regenerators in re4 so this should be.....well should still prolly be scary

>>46769574
You would crap your pants.

>>46770608

dead space has a regenerator

>>46770608
>Doesn't realize there is a.....

OOOOH, I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE.

>>46770246

>It's essentially someone jumping out of the closet yelling BOO.

Some of the things that scared me or freaked me out in dead space the most wasn't even the "boo" stuff a lot of the time. It was stuff like hearing a banging and walking around a corner to see a crew member with his chest torn open slam his head against the wall. Or walking into the infirmary and seeing the nurse slit her throat.

Or this:

>>46770665
I don't know. It's not the same kind of scary as those fuckers in RE 4.

>>46770024
THIS

Dead Space is mostly "shit jumping out at you scary". But I have to admit there is something EXTREMELY unnerving and depressing about the overall atmosphere of the game which I loved.

>>46770181
SAUCE NAO

>>46770609

>.gif

OH FUCK YOU TO INFINITY.

>THIS GAME DID NOT GIVE ME A HEART ATTACK
>IT'S SOOOOOO SHITTY

Oh Christ, get the fuck out of here. Nobody cares.

I started playing Silent Hill 2, OP.

What, you haven't played it? Underageb&

>>46770560
>awesome music
>Wolfmother
>Alexisonfire

>>46770757

sure, it wasn't as unnerving and strange but it was fast, dangerous and invincible...which is enough for me

you're also now remembering the part with the sliding bunk beds

>>46770181
HOLY SHIT! IS THAT SOME SUPER ROBOT WARS: SURVIVAL HORROR EDITION?

FUCKING FUND IT!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtSQFAZpGRk

I havent played Deadspace yet, is this bad?

I just assumed it was mediocre....

then again its probably TONS better than MW2 and /v/ loves the shit out of MW2.

You guys are hard to figure out sometimes /v/

>>46770952

trapped his ass im there till the cows came home.

This was the first "horror-game" I played and it was pretty scary in the beginning, to the point that I didn't even want to play it. I manned up, put my training bra on and had a blast.

In the beginning whenever shit popped out I would get scared but after a while you're just like "fucking bitch I'm gonna shoot yer limbs off."

>>46770952
It was basically:

Regenerator+Nemesis.

AKA: FFFFFFFFFUCKING HELL!!!

I know exactly what you mean, especially when everything is in 3D. God damn it's intense.

>>46770609
Jumped out of my fucking seat
Fuck
well played...

>>46771045
It's great fun unless you're stuck so far up your own anus, you can no longer enjoy video games.

Along with Demon's Souls, probably one of my favorite games of the past couple years.

>>46770609

WHAT IS IT I WATCHED IT IN A TINY THUMBNAIL BECAUSE GIF AND SAW A BLACK SCREEN THEN IT GO BYEBYE

WAT

FUKKEN

DO

>>46771045
Mediocre your ass. It is a great game. Guaranteed to make you jump from your seat.....unless, of course, you are a veteran survival horror player.

Then a good chunk of the surprise and tension is lost.

Game's too scary OP, play a nice slow game like Penumbra Overture.

Meh, I'm a pussy for scary games too. Never got to complete any RE, DOOM III, Bioshock & Fatal Frames that I pirate (well, Bioshock copy is legit, I just never expect it to be a scary game >_<)

Don't mind me. Just making you throw your GBA across the room.

While I never found it scary, I do have to hand it to the game - it really does a good job of making itself feel oppressive.

Nothing good happens to anyone in the game. The audio logs you find of the couple trying to escape, and the guy who cuts his limbs off with a power saw to prevent himself from killing when infected are particularly bleak.

Also, there isn't some happy "Yay! We beat Wesker with our dual-RPG shot into a fucking volcano now let's go be fucking extreme!" ending. Just death, sorrow, and D: right up to the credits.

>>46770952
Oh lord that part. But yeah the Dead Space one is more "OH GOD RUN RUN" and less "That thing is so scary I don't want to look at it anymore." like the RE4 guys. Suddenly the Spitter pops into my head. God damnit.

>>46770609
the literal slow transformation of my face.

I'm a pretty big pussy too but games dont usually scare me.

Got some frights from System Shock 2 as a kid, Fatal Frame is another that got to me

Nothing else really

Dead space has some moments, but IMO it's one of the more time. However, if Bioshock scares you too much, I'd avoid

Game will make you poop.

>>46771036
Oh my, that's exactly why I don't play any horror games.

>>46771185
>veteran survival horror

Probably one of the worst things to be these days. Fortunately while I am one, I can still enjoy games that don't scare me.

So I played Dead Space and loved it, what other good horror games would you guys suggest for consoles? (Xbox 360, PS1, PS2, PS3 ....Wii)

inb4 master race >implying

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_h1dY66Rm4
Watch this, great game for you OP.

I bought Siren (import, I wanted the disc and its all in English) for PS3 recently, I really need to get around to playing it.

>>46769612
That's true...
The developers made this game only to scare people.

Some say this game didn't scare them at all. Well, different things scares different people.
Personally, Dead Space scared the shit out of me, but I love horror games :)
Also, the plot is very good

Ok, I need a game that'll make me go "OH GOD WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT KILL IT KILL IT FUCK!!!!11"

I'm getting some dead space.

I'd love to see you try to play this, OP.

OP, I think Penumbra Black Plague is the right game for you.

Dead Space would be 10 times scarier if stasis wasn't so damn effective.

Seriously, putting time-slowing mechanics in your horror game just completely undermines the horror aspect.

>>46771349

Siren is good if you want another current gen one. Nothing else other than Dead Space and Siren really stand out from this gen.

Fatal frame if you want to go older.

>>46771394
I can't think of a game with more enemies that will make you kill them out of sheer "WTF" factor.

>>46769574
where did you find a working torrent at OP?

>>46771354
Is that some Epic Mickey? Fuck yes.

>>46771425
>>46771403
Blackplaguemind

>>46771349
You really ought to drag out an old PC and go to the slight inconvenience of getting System Shock 2 going.

Dead Space just pissed me off on consoles because precision aiming with analog is balls.

>>46771428
I dunno, there was nothing like stasising something because I had run out of ammo and tried to desperately find some knowing the clock was slowly ticking

Was anyone genuinely scared of an enemy? For me it was the tall guys that broke apart into smaller necromorphs when they died. Everything down to sound made me hate encountering them

>>46769658
>>46769658
>>46769658
>>46769658

I'm exactly like OP, but why is everyone saying Bioshock was so scary? I played it and didn't even realize it was trying to be scary...was it?

games not scary, although it made me rather paranoid about my surroundings

Do it, OP. Dead Space is a fuckwin game. Scary or not.

>>46771568
That sound is horrible. I always expect some huge ass beast to be around the corner but instead it that string bean mother fucker that explodes into millions of little testicles.

>>46771403
>>46771425
I've played many horror vidyas but I've yet to pick this one back up. The idea that I have to sneak around in that game FUCKING UNARMED is almost too much for me. I need to man the fuck up.

the horror in dead space is mostly audio, which is why a lot of people weren't scared. if you play volume up with headphones/surround sound, you'll find yourself stopping a lot asking yourself "what the fuck was THAT" when you hear something clang nearby.

playing through the game on less than hard mode, in light, without high volume, will dampen the experience beyond scary to just a generic TPS.

>>46771644
Little testicles that rip off your head and replace it.

>>46771568

twitchers

things could kill you pretty fast on hard

>>46771648
Isn't as scary once you man up and fucking run past your enemies. They are like zombies from Resident Evil.

>>46771722
Best death animation in a game full of awesome death animations.

Dead Space isn't scary, but it can feel a bit creepy at times.

Although if you think bioshock is scary in the least bit, avoid it.

>>46771648
>sneak around in Black Plague

That's fucking small time. Face your fears head-on.

Also tell Clarence to fuck off.

>>46771770
>>46771750
Couragemind

Do it. Even if you ARE scared, you will feel good for seeing it through to the end.

Anyone feel that Condemned 2 has one of the best atmospheres?

WHEN THOSE FUCKING CRACKHEADS CHARGED ME WHILE I WAS LOOKING AT THE MIRROR IN THE HOTEL OH GOOOD

>>46771481
FUCK ITS /x/ GET OUT AUUUHOOOGOOOOODDD

>>46771665
This. Survival Horrors are only scary because of the environment and their inmersion. If you consider yourself a real man, fucking play the game how it is suppossed to be played.

No light source.
Headphones only.
Middle of the night.

You are supposed to play horror games in the dead of night, with no lights on, alone.

So play it in the middle of the afternoon in a fully lit room, preferably with a few friends.

The game shouldn't be anywhere NEAR as scary.

>>46771891
Let me fix that.

No friends.
Headphones only.
Middle of the night.

>>46771858
This and the first one are the other two games next to Fatal Frame 2 that I really need to get ahold of again. Damn me being a wuss before.

>>46771915
This.

I played it after school while waiting for theater to start. I beat it while at school one day, and didn't think it was that scary.

Then, I played it alone, in the dark, with the volume turned up. Even though I knew what was coming, it still got me to freak out.

>>46772018
it takes at least 10 hours to beat the game........

>>46772099

>>46771501

Next game needs to nerf statis. It was too effective and most people had an assload of ammo by the end. I know I personally never ran out of ammo cuz I do them leg/arm/headshots.

>>46771481
I wish Epic Mickey actually came out like its concept art.


Why the fuck would they even make shit like this if it was meant to be a kids game? Motherfucking cock teases.

>>46772018
Played it for about an hour each day before I had to go and run the lights.

Fun Fact for when you're playing Dead Space [this even goes for people who have played it]

When you find a large obelisk thing called "The Marker," turn your sound system all the way up. It's talking to you.

>>46772207
the game is still in development and there is so much work to be done.

Dead Space isn't that scary past the first 15 minutes, honestly. I tried everything to make the game remotely creepy, and it just didn't work. I made it a point to only play it around 10 with all of the lights turned off and the sound cranked up.

It's more of an action game than anything. Guns can destroy everything with ease, and they give you a ton of ammo.

Play it with a trainer.

The game is a whole lot less scary when you can blow the living fuck out of anything and everything that moves.


Shit I even got a special save that gave me the level six military armor at the start of the game, along with fully upgraded weps.

So I was armed to the teeth before the fucking game even started AND I had infinite ammo.


Normally the monsters could track you by the smell of shit in your pants, in the trainer version they could track you by the trail of bullets and burns on the walls.

>>46772283

Don't kid yourself that a Disney game is going to be anything more than a casual wagglefest.

>>46772352

>>46771481
ITT noone knows about suicide mickey.

>>46772283
Look at mickey.

Fucking look at goddamned mickey.


There is no way the game will look anything like the concept.

>>46772410
What about it?

>>46772410
Suicide Mickey was made a long time ago, when people had dulled sensibilities when it came to violence.

That shit wouldn't fly today.

>Mickey game on the Wii

OMIGAW IT'S TOTALLY GONNA BE SO DARK AND TWISTED AMIRITE GUYS? ITS NOT LIKE THEY'RE GONNA TRY AND APPEAL TO THE HOT TOPIC GENERATION

>>46772568
Everyone knew that the game would be waggle shit, that's not the point.

People got excited because its some goddamned fine concept art, and the mere idea of the game being released was exciting.

Honestly some games catch me off-guard.

I was playing Monster Hunter and I was doing a quest and I avoided the big monster creature. So like 2 areas away I'm moving around and I hear a loud screech that paralyzes me and scared the crap out of me.

Fucking boss followed me around and made me shit. Fear of dying in one hit was probably why I spazzed out.

And then Suicide Mickey killed the thread.

OP. Dead Space is a really great game and I suggest you play it. If you don't want the boo tactics to scare you, just be extra catious.

A few tips when playing Dead Space: If a necromorph jumps out in front of you, theres a very high chance that a second one has found his way behind you. So as soon as you kill the first one, check your back.

Also, theres a few necromorphs that appear dead while laying on the ground. An easy way to discover these is by using your kinesis module you get at chapter 2. If you use it on a normal corpse, the corpse will be lifted up, but if the necromorph is still, then it is alive.

Finally, many necromorphs are there purely to freak you out. They run across the hallway and jump into a nearby vent, or crawl around in areas where you can't shoot them and they can't get you. You can completely ignore these. They are only there to freak you out.

Now I've given you three helpful tips so go play one of the best games of 2008.

I hate the people that come in to Dead Space threads and say, "Pfft it wasn't scary because all of the enemies were pushovers." You can tell they didn't play on Hard. The jumps in difficulty are bigger in Dead Space than they are in most games. Each difficulty has the enemies having twice as much health and doing twice as much damage as on the previous difficulty, and ammo drops from necromorphs at a lower rate with each difficulty increase. I am a difficulty junkie in games, and Hard was satisfyingly difficult for me on my first play through, although after playing through the game a million times Impossible is really easy for me.

>>46773117
Nope, just people not responding aymore.

Just finished it yesterday. After the first hour, didn't scare me at all, and I'm a bitch. Fallout 2 scared me when I first played it ffs.

It's more of a tense Third Person Shooter, than a survival Horror.

>>46773275
And the easiest difficulty?

How does it feel for you now?

>>46773275
Have you tried with just the plasma cutter? Thats what I'm working on now.

>>46773366

I played through on Normal. Had very little ammo/supplies issues (only after coming out of a boss or sommat). Only died to non instagibs like, once or twice. If you're good at TPS, start on hard imo.
