Scariest Video Game

[hobbes2809]

okay, so Im bored tonight because Earl/Office isnt new tonight

so I figured this would be a good topic for a poll, assuming everyone else is probably going to be bored too

poll is simple, vote for the video game franchise that you feel is the scariest

I had to put up the whole franchise because many people think different games in the series are scarier or less scary than others

(i.e. If I put up all the resident evils, all the silent hills, all the etc etc etc there wouldnt be enough poll options)

so without further ado, vote for your favorite scary video game franchise, and post which game of the franchise you thought was the scariest.

haha 8-)

polls up everyone

myst. haha. that game really, really scared the hell out of my when I was like 12. I don't quite know why.

[FstFtsVsFences]

i probably voted wrong, but i went with FEAR because it's my favorite game out of those. some parts are pretty scary, but it's moreso intense all the time. i love it.

[fedhed7]

Eternal Darkness. If anybody here played that, they'd understand why.

[fedhed7]

Haha, i do hate those zelda re-deads though.

[hobbes2809]

I got that game, walked around for a while, couldnt figure anything out, got angry at it and threw it out the window.

I can see what was "scary" about it though, it was so quiet, and you were alone in the game. Everywhere you walked, you kept expecting something to happen but it never did, so it was tension filled, yes.

but on the same note, nothing ever happened haha, so thats why I never thought to consider it as a "scariest game ever"

It wasn't that scary... just really, really weird.

[FOBPrettyNPunk]

Resident Evil for sure, I was always scared when I played it/

[WakingTheMisery]

the suffering scared the shit out of me. i don't get scared easily either.

[punkrockcasual]

Did you ever beat it? And yeah, I voted FEAR. I stopped playing more than once cause I was too freaked out.

[kshtoinks12]

Eternal Darkness. If anybody here played that, they'd understand why.

when we rented that i couldn't play it alone, cuz it was just too scary

[aCe_]

when we rented that i couldn't play it alone, cuz it was just too scarySo true.

[punkrockcasual]

So true.

Never heard of it... it's good?

[hobbes2809]

If I want to be scared, Id rather play half these games than go to see a "scary" movie nowadays.

[aCe_]

Never heard of it... it's good?Frightning is all I can say

[Shatter590]

sad to see nobody voted for Silent Hill...its better than RE

I voted Fatal Frame. The XBox version scared the hell out of me

[WakingTheMisery]

parasite eve was dayum good.

[DroppedUrPocket]

Clock Tower, for real.

And as far as Eternal Darkness, it was meh, it was scary and weird the first time, but then it just got more annoying than anything.

[DroppedUrPocket]

I would have went Fatal Frame after that.

[DroppedUrPocket]

And if anyone votes re-dead, I'm pimpsmacking you. Hahaha.

[fedhed7]

Clock Tower, for real.

And as far as Eternal Darkness, it was meh, it was scary and weird the first time, but then it just got more annoying than anything.The hallucination aspect of that game was great. You never knew what to expect.

Yeah, it was pretty sweet. The whole deleting your memory card spiel was pretty hilarious.

That's why it was so freaky to me. Dead silent, creepy music, and not another living being in sight. It was just so tense...I'd freak out if somebody made a noise in the house while I played that.

[fedhed7]

Yeah, it was pretty sweet. The whole deleting your memory card spiel was pretty hilarious.
Oh yeah, wtf? That happened to me and I flipped out.

[FstFtsVsFences]

Did you ever beat it? And yeah, I voted FEAR. I stopped playing more than once cause I was too freaked out.
i played that alone with the lights off and it scared the shit out of me. and no i haven't beaten it yet because i recently got back into World of Warcraft.

[DroppedUrPocket]

Haha and the bugs on the screen.

[dretti]

That game does look sweet. Unfortunately I have a Mac so I don't get to play PC games anymore, but that game does look fun. Its a shooter at the same time though right?

I voted Resident Evil.

[xshady121]

condemned for the 360 is a pretty scary video game...

zombies ate my neighbors! hah . good game......

[hobbes2809]

Clock Tower, for real.

psychopath Scissor Man :eek:

[DroppedUrPocket]

FEAR rules, btw. And I never finished it. I'm probably like 3/4s the way. I hear the ending is good, so I plan on finishing it one day.

[DroppedUrPocket]

Good choice. Scary ass game.

[BrandNewBen]

In RE4 when all you hear is those druid people's chanting getting louder and louder, fucking pant wetting material

[dretti]

Yeah, I rented that a few weeks ago, and beat it. It was pretty fun (and scary) game.

Xbox 360 is getting Resident Evil 5 and Dead Rising. Both of which look sweet.

Which is why 360 is still way kickass.

[DaveFeelsRight]

Silent hill for sure

[unwritten]

I remember when I had first played Resident Evil for PS1. I had the lights off and in my basement. It was the scariest shit ever.

[fromwithin]

as i saw this poll i thought how scary a clock tower movie could be. damn that game was great. so creepy.

[dretti]

Nemesis in Resident Evil 3 would always make my heart jump because that fucker would chase you everywhere.

[fedhed7]

Haha and the bugs on the screen.
I forgot most of the hallucinations... but i remember the camera tilts sometimes, and you start to hear voices.

[hobbes2809]

Silent hill for sure

Im honestly suprised it took this long to get a silent hill vote. pyramid head is nightmare worthy

especially the one scene where he kinda just looks at you, and you're shittin yourself because you know hes about to do something, but he doesnt for a while and he just sits there watching you shit yourself savoring your fear :(

[kshtoinks12]

and lets not forget all of the butlers turn into beasts

Yeah, the silent hill games were great too. The flashlight visuals always make everything look way creepier. I remember I thought the "hell" flashbacks when the level would all of a sudden change were freakier than shit.

[WakingTheMisery]

the suffering is the only one out of the bunch really...

[Brownpants06]

FEAR scared the shit out of me. Res Evil second best cause graphics weren't convincing enough haha. But then again i guess i was like 12 when i first played it.

[Robb]

Undying, definitely. One of the most underrated games ever.

Did FEAR make your pants brown?

[Jentheoptimist]

Silent hill I can't play in my house alone. Though I can't play Resident Evil 2 either, only because of that fucking thing (guy in the teal suit) that pops out and fucking smashes through the walls and and the music changes all crazy. Also because of those fucking birds, and lickers.

[DroppedUrPocket]

mmm lickers

true. resident evil was great because just about everything thing they came up with was probably someones worst nightmare.

[KidLightning]

dude, "friday the 13th" for the NES was probably the scariest game I ever played. granted I was like 8 when I was playing it, but it even scared me when I played it in the middle of the day, and just thinking about it now gives me a bit of the chills...

[emoishardcore]

if were going with a game compared to its time id say silent hill was the first realthriller game to grab me

[aaron_rkyc]

either Resident Evil or Halflife.

[SingleDoubt]

silent hill 1 is fucked... especially the second school where there's like blood dripping off of every wall... i cant play that game with the lights off. sooooo good.

[DroppedUrPocket]

[last light]

[DroppedUrPocket]

[Freud]

resident evil. i remember years ago watching my cousin play 2. he asked me if i wanted to play and i was like hell no.

[SLADE775]

Resident evil 2.

[Timberwolf]

I voted silent hill but my overall scariest gaming moment has to be that giant fish in mario 3 that jumps out and eats you. I'm literally screaming every time that bastard leaps out of the water.

I voted RE, but when you played as a Marine in AvP, and you heard that cot-damn bleeping on your radar, and suddenly the roof is swarming with aliens, you fucking freak out.

[dai the flu]

anybody ever play the thief games? not scary overall, but some incredibly scary individual levels. the cathedral level in thief 1, and the abandoned orphanage/asylum in thief 3.

[hobbes2809]

I voted RE, but when you played as a Marine in AvP, and you heard that cot-damn bleeping on your radar, and suddenly the roof is swarming with aliens, you fucking freak out.

Thats one of the main reasons I included AvP. plus those goddamn aliens were fast in that game, as soon as one turned towards you, you shit your pants and cried a little because you knew they were going to be on you fast.
