Your Scariest Gaming Moments...

[Kitsune Dzelda]

I remember taking a look through the Bottom of the Well in Ocarina of Time. The creepy music combvined with the walls of skulls in the walls and creepy skull flamey thingies made it a very stressful dungeon to go into. I remember a few times the music chased me out because I thought some horribly depraved thing was after me.

 

[Sulfide]

"you completed the game"

That bites HARD

 

[Digitalpotato]

I think I saw that on G4 once. Is that the game where a man with a giant pair of scissors is chasing you through a giant mansion or something?

yeah. Scissorman is also like every other slasher film villain, except he's so unrealistic with the pair of scissors he can't even give you the sense of intimidation like what Michael Meyers did. But he's still scary anyways when he comes out of nowhere.

And when i mean he's like every slasher film villain...he's immune to all forms of bodily harm. In Clock Tower fo the playstation I remember pushing a fax machine into him and in First fear, making him fall off the 2nd story platform, and in Clock Tower 3, making Scissorwoman fly into the oven.

He sounds like he's related to Jesus.

Game: Bioshock

There is this room. It's flooded. There's a bunch of goodies on a desk on the opposite side of the room. You go in to pick the stuff up, turn around to see if you've missed anything, and standing there, breathing down your neck for who knows how long is a friggin splicer.

Scariest moment I can think of.

 

[Kitsune Dzelda]

Thusly that proves you shouldnt go stealing stuff from desks.

Or look up at Giant Suicide Commiting Moons. Especially on the third Day. Majoras Mask. Scared the crud out of me with that, or just startled me uneededly.

 

[LeCardt]

Ovenman.

Seriously, fuck the Ovenman.

 

[Endless Humiliation]

Ovenman.

Seriously, fuck the Ovenman.

The Ovenman is hilarious every time after the first. Or maybe even the first, I don't know how easily you get scared.

Scariest moment I can think of.

The dentist in the medical bay startled the crap out of me.

MY scariest moment, though, would have to be the basement in the last level of Condemned. You're forced to put away your weapon and flashlight if you want to use that dim little UV lamp to collect evidence. I jumped after I saw my purple silhouette in the mirror. I realized it was me, laughed a little, and then noticed something in the mirror move. It was the figure of a man standing behind me, pipe raised mid swing.

Also, the mannequins. Holy crap, the mannequins...My language went to hell while I played that game.

 

[Lemoncholic]

I've had a few, like on red steel where the lights are off in the level where a guy obsessed with rabbits "wants to play a game". I was walking down a dark corridor and what I thought were two lights started running away and then disappeared, when I trying to work out how lights could move, they popped up from behind the corner and started shooting at me... Only then I realised they weren't lights.

And on oblivion having ran away from miscarcand days ago, I finally got arrested for being too upfront with the dark brotherhood stuff. When I got out of prison I started running and got a fireball in the back, turned around and jumped when I saw the king of miscarcand and two zombies. Luckily the guard aren't as easily shocked as I am.

Oh and the feeling of impending doom as a reaper on RE5 creeps towards you and as you go to shoot the white thing on it's stomach you hear the click that reminds you you've used all your ammo. I've had loads I guess I'm easily shocked.

That being said I played all of the FEAR 2 demo without blinking, though I hate children more than I did before.

 

[Sernion]

More like a surprising than scary but I jump a little every time a window breaks in Resident Evil 3. The sound effect is way high compared to the other sound effects :|.

Also in L4D, it creeps me out whenever I die as a smoker and the camera zooms into the smoker's face.

 

[Diego117]

Gears of War 2 playing horde with a couple of friends at River on Hardcore.

We got to level 50. In one of the many failed attempts to beat level 50, we were running to grab all the power weapons after we re-spawned. I made a beeline for the Boltok pistol and was going to hole up in one of the bases. I turn the corner to find that a couple of Mulchers, a few grubs, and a couple of beast riders spawned right in my face. We all screamed like little girls and died in the most horrible way.

I would hate to see level 50 on Insane.

 

[ShadowWhiteWolf]

That one part in Resident Evil 2 where you're in the small closed off area and when you open the door and it shows the sequence of you opening it or whatever, zombies suddenly just POP out as you open it, that scared the SHIT out of me, I wasn't expecting it at all, I even fired at them out of panic.

 

[Envy]

Hmmm... a tough call
Two that spring to mind are from Eversion and The White Chamber. And a lot of Slinet Hill 3, though that has so many it's hard to tell.

In Eversion, the first time you see a hand, or the part where it immediately switched from world 5-1 to 5-5 or something. Also, 'I see you.' If you've played, you know what that last one is.

The White Chamber has a part where you walk down a hallway. Each time the screen changes the background noise gets progressively disturbing, and the backgrounds become more animated, such as a disembodied eye randomly darting around. It's an excellent atmosphere.

Silent Hill 3.... Has a lot. It was the first I played, and although I have 2 I've not played it just yet. (I got it last week! ) However... I'd say the first time you hear the Pendulums. They're movements arn't bad... it's the fact that them moving makes this horrible metal-on-metal grinding noise. Theres also the entire hospital area, which I count as the scariest level in the game.

Ecco the dolphin...from the moment the Vortex come into play. The stages 'The Tube' and 'The Machine'.

Cute little dolphin game my giddy arse.

 

[Beastcub]

ocarina of time was my first ever 3D game (first ever with a joystick for that matter)which i played when i was 13...
when Gohma the first boss (huge spider-like scorpion thing with one eye) fell from the ceiling and went after link i had to pause and scream at it and got 6 game overs trying to kill it

after that though nothing freaked me out that bad (and now i can kill it in about 30 seconds)

remember the room with hands comming out of the floor and you HAVE to let one grab you so the mini boss will come out which is some creepy ass white thing with syth hands and a long neck that holds its head back all strange and you are frozen untill it bites you and then it will let go and you have to kill it before it dissapears in a mass of toxic gas....

i HATED that thing

 

[CrispSkittlez]

The ending of Dead Space, with me sitting two feet away from the tv.

 

[Ishnuvalok]

For me?

I was like, 12, sitting with my friend in front of the TV playing Silent Hill 2. It was like, 11 at night. The house was empty except for the two of us. This is pretty self-explanatory.

 

[nikulai]

Silent hill 3

One of the last places in the game, lots of coffee, tiredness and also no light but that of the Tv. Seariously I almost had a heart attack running .

 

[Envy]

^ I'm curious; what place was that? :0

 

[CaptainCougar]

First time playing Fallout 3 and a mole jumped on my head.


Good times.

I completely agree with this. In fact, it still freaks me out whenever a creature of the Capital Wastelands creeps up on me and bites a chunk of flesh out of me.

 

[Mikael Grizzly]

Two pages and no one mentioned the Shalebridge Cradle?

What a failure.

Trust you to have a coffee fueled moment...

Suprisingly enough I don't normally get scared by games. In fact the only time I've really jumped while playing a game was when one of my mates somehow managed to get under my desk while I was playing (god knows how I didn't notice) and then burst out between my legs screaming... I jumped massively then!
