    268 KB Horror games Anonymous 05/25/10(Tue)12:38 No.60340XXX  
    Here is a chart I made describing different types of people when they play horror games. I've noticed that developers received criticism for making games in this genre, and sometimes people that get scared while playing them are criticized as well.
    I will admit that it is difficult to scare everyone while also having top notch game play. The genre does seem to suffer from tank controls and unforgiving deaths.
    What I want to say is that 6-5 are much wimpier than 4-1. Even still, I don't think it is fair to mock someone for how easily scared they are. I'd imagine that some 0s even ridicule or laugh at those with phobias, such as the guest on the Maury Povich show that had an irrational fear of balloons.
    I know there are 0s on /v/, and some of them aren't trolls. You all disappoint me and I hope you change your minds. Personally, I'm a 4.

    I don't really like Horror Games, mostly because I'm not very good at them.

    My friend was really scared of Dead Space's monster placement ("well the last few vents were safe so this should be fi-ARRRRG"), and although it made me jump a few times, it wasn't too scary. But I was useless at the combat. =|

    Well 5 is everyone as a child. But after I played Ravenholm in hl2, which isn't even that scary, I mad emyself as jaded as I could. Although i haven't actually played an honest horror game in my life though.

    And the worst part is, I watched let's plays of Silent hill 1 - 3 before playing them. I hate myself.

    it varies from game to game.

    Dead Space - 0
    Resident Evil - 1
    Silent Hill - 2
    Fatal Frame - 3
    Half-Life 2 Ravenholm 1st time - 5

    fantasy horror will never be scary.

    make me a game that focuses on fear in the real world such as building up emotions from phobias, or fear of losing a loved one.

    horror games ALWAYS ALWAYS resort to having some supernatural bullshit and/or impossibility that would never occur is real life which ruins any fear they might have been building.

    Some movies have managed to scare me shitless, but I've never been scared whilst l played a game.

    Stalker and Doom 3 made me jump a few times, but so did Counter-Strike... getting jumpy isn't the same as fear.

    I can find a game scary.

    But usually not "horror" games. Most of those don't even rival a Goosebumps novel in terms of writing.

    It's harsh, but it really is the premise for your situation that makes it scary. Not that the light flickers.

    I was number 6 when playing Adventure Island so many years ago. It's not even a horror game. Pic related, the source of my childhood nightmares.

    Something between 1 and 2. I don't get scared easily anymore because I've played so many horror games. I'll still jump a little every now and then though, but I never scream, drop the controller or pause the game or shit like that. I still love horror games by the way, it's just that most of them are too predictable today. But I'm more into psychological horror anyway, since I don't get scared easily, haunted-house "BOOO!!" style games like Dead Space don't do much for me.
    >> Anonymous 05/25/10(Tue)12:48 No.60341XXX
    I am 2, 3, and 4 depending on the games. Fatal Frame gives me the most fear, while Silent Hill gives me no fear at all, yet I just love the psychotic design.

    They may make you jump at points but that doesn't have much to do with fear. If you're over 14 and still get scared of games/movies then you're a faggot.

    It used to be 3 when I was younger, but after playing F.E.A.R. and the Silent Hill series for so long, nothing actually makes me jump, or scream, or react at all for that matter. Shit has just become too predictable for me in horror games.

    Shit actually sucks because I can't get hardly any enjoyment from survival/horrors. I wish I was still a giant pussy, then I could actually enjoy these games fully.
    >> Anonymous 05/25/10(Tue)12:49 No.60341XXX
    90% of horror games mistake "scary" with "startling".

    If a zombie suddenly jumps out of a door behind me, it's not scary. It may startle me when totally unexpected, but so would also a cat. And flashing disturbing pictures on the screen for a second at random points is definitely not scary. Right F.E.A.R?

    Also any game that gives you guns automatically disqualifies as a horror game.

    I only play Survival Horrors for the Survival part.

    Too bad there hasn't been a decent Survival Horror in the past 5 years. With shitty action games like RE4/5 & Dead Space calling themselves horror pretty much killed the genre.

    Putting this into a scale is not exactly the best way of measuring it. I usually get really scared with some horror games, but instead of going nuts everytime I get a screamer I put on my fearless face, grind my teeth, and start rolling my controlled berserk mode until everything is dead, or until I've reached a safe spot.
