I never played horror games when I was a kid, but Dead Space and Amnesia: The Dark Descent were the two games that really solidified what I wanted out of a horror game. Having the ability to defend yourself instead of running is still something that makes or breaks a horror game for me.

Dead Space still scares the hell out of me.

The body horror has always been one of the best things about Dead Space, the creatures are just horrifying

I started my third playthrough of dragonage inquisition this week. I’m playing a male Inquisitor for the first time so I can romance Dorian. I really really enjoy DA:I, I never played any of the earlier games but even without context the gameplay loop and getting to know the characters is always fun. I do feel like I make the same choices every time I play though. I struggle to have video game characters make choices I wouldn’t personally make.

Eternal Darkness for the Gamecube. Got me more into Lovecraftian horror and horror in general.

FEAR was so darn good.

A seminal classic!

I remember when I first rented FEAR at blockbuster, that section of the hallway at the start is so memorable.

I don’t remember specifics but it’s when you’re going through the building and keep seeing the little girl, then you get to a cluttered hallway and I think it was set ablaze and you were thrown back by her

I remember having just the demo installed for the longest time and just playing that brief section of the game over and over. It was just so damn cinematic and awesome.

The first NES Castlevania. Still a classic.

I actually have a 3E diorama of from the opening level hanging in my condo. I replay it once or twice a year. Still holds up.

Not sure it counts, but I played a loooot of Killing Floor in my early teens.

I loved Resident Evil but it was the third one that really got me, with the havoc in the streets and the scare where you realize Nemesis can literally chase you from room-to-room and/or show up literally anywhere at any time.

Tangentially related. Does anybody know if there’s a browser extension or database that collects the obviously LLM generated websites?

I run into lots of websites where all I think is “this can’t possibly be a human writing this, right?” All I can do is show it to my friends and family for validation.

otter,

Time to make one, or roll it into a ublock origin filter

fwygon,

yes please; we need a ublock filter

This is a great idea and if it exists I’d love to use it

MagicShel,

If the writing is that bad, it belongs on the list. If it’s that bad and is still written by a human it belongs on possibly an even worse list.

Hilarious that it even embedded the tweet so you can see it’s not an accurate quote.

Bad enough when humans do it, adding nothing.

Phantasmagoria.

No, not the more recent VR Game, Phasmaphobia. Phantasmagoria was a DOS PnC adventure game that absolutely scared the shit out of me when I was 9.

Skyhighatrist,

I remember that game. It came on like 7 CDs and was pretty much entirely FMV if I remember correctly.

Yep. It had a script over 550 pages long; about the same length as an average hollywood film and also had a huge 25 actor cast, many of which were classically trained actors.

And here I am only remembering the basement and the scary sounds that made me stop playing for a week.

LoamImprovement,

Goddamn did that game push some limits. I guarantee something like that remade today would get an AO rating.

Awesome! I was really tired of seeing that site. Definitely not a reputable publication and shouldn’t ever has been listed

F.E.A.R. and Penumbra

One of two. Ghosts and Ghouls on snes, I was like 4 but wasn’t scared. And the other one is not a horror game but for 6 year old me it was scary as shit, Halo CE. The Library level and the one before, 343 Guilty Spark, were hell for me. Beating those levels was a goddamn relief.
