Some games it was just the difficulty that scared me.

There were plenty of jump scare games that definitely got me like the early RE and SH games. Even Metroid games got me when I was a kid.

I haven’t tried a horror game in more than 20 years though!

The first fear game really scared me when I was younger. I was 16 maybe and that’s how I found out I don’t like ghosts haha.

Playing in ym room at night alone in the dark. Ghosts coming out that I can’t hurt haha

Fuck that was bad

Easily the scariest was „Amnesia: The Dark Descen“ (2010).

sleepybisexual, do gaming w I have been getting into emulation (discussion)

Ooh. What systems you playing? I mostly playing GBA rn

Gamers_mate,

Ps2 at the moment but I have played NES/SNES and ps1.

sleepybisexual,

On PC? Or what hardware? :3

Gamers_mate,

On pc though I still have a ps2 if I wanted to play on the actual hardware. But I do find Emulation is easier to set up no plugging the AV cords into the tv or constantly having to change discs to play different games. I also use Aethersx2 if I want to play ps2 games on android.

sleepybisexual,

Ooh :3

I mostly play on dedicated machines,

Also try nethersx2 its a aethersx2 patch that removes ads and shit

Gamers_mate,

I don’t mind as long as they don’t make the ads intrusive. If the ads become intrusive I will try nethersx2.

Soma is definitely up there. It’s slowburn and not jumpscares. But when that shit hit, it hit hard.

Megaman_EXE,

I thought it was pretty good! There were definitely some tense moments for sure

Faydaikin,
@Faydaikin@beehaw.org avatar

But what type of spooky are you looking for?

Megaman_EXE,

Oh man, absolutely anything to make me feel dread or have me not knowing what to expect. Which is vague, I know. I feel like I’ve played so many horror games that they start to feel too gamey? If that makes any sense? It’s like I can predict when scares will happen or the gamey aspects sometimes don’t immerse me.

Oddly enough, subnautica really had me on my toes a few years back. Fatum Betula was an indie that also gave me some heeby jeebies but wasn’t exactly scary either.

I feel like I’ll probably need to crawl through dozens of indie titles or something. Or possibly go back to titles made prior to 2005. I’m also not caught up on recent games in the past couple of years, so maybe there’s something special I’ve missed.

But I’m also just curious to hear what made everyone else scared, too!

Welp, as a tie-over I can recommend plowing through some of the stuff on Gamejolt.

There’s a few pretty good indie spookies for free. They aren’t too long, but have some pretty good concepts if nothing else.

But yeah, one tends to get a bit numb on horror after a while. It helps to take a break every now and then.

Megaman_EXE,

I don’t know if I’ve ever been on gamejolt before, thanks, I’ll take a look!

Yeah, that makes sense. I guess I’m chasing that next scare. Something to wow me again, haha. I’m sure there’s gotta be something out there

Amnesia.

Vodulas, do gaming w What are the scariest games you've played?

I don’t know if I would call it horror, but Dredge is fantastic with creeping dread

Megaman_EXE,

Ooh I think I’ve heard of that. Thanks, I’ll check it out!

stardust, do gaming w What are the scariest games you've played?

Dead Space scared me so much it made me numb to lot of horror games since.

HeckGazer, do gaming w What are the scariest games you've played?

Killing Floor VR

Megaman_EXE,

Oh man I haven’t gotten a chance to try VR yet and I bet that would help immerse me in a whole new way. I can’t wait to see how VR improves over time

Subnautica can straight up give you thlassophobia.

Megaman_EXE,

Absolutely! It was probably one of the scariest games I’ve played in recent memory. The dread it made me feel was unmatched compared to a lot of horror titles

There’s already a fan-made fix to add things such as FoV and ultrawide and framegen support.

Okay no exclusivity

This bodes well for ff7r2

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

The exclusivity deals appear to have been good for no one involved: Epic, Square Enix, Sony, or customers, so I think we’ve seen the last of them outside of things Epic publishes themselves.

Asafum,

Good! I refuse to participate in that shit, but it really sucks to have to wait an extra year so some other schmuck can make more money…

emax_gomax,

How was it bad for epic? They would’ve made more from cuts on sales on steam than selling the full game at the lower rates on their own store? God I wonder how dismal their customer engagement rate is.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

They paid more for it than they saw back in sales or expected new customers. What they’ve said publicly is that they won’t be using this strategy anymore, because it isn’t working. They claim free game giveaways are working, but I have my doubts as to how valuable those user acquisitions are.

overload,

Why do anything other than claim the free games honestly… The Epic launcher needs to improve drastically for it to be viable as a competitor.

Now that Satisfactory came out of early access and is now 1.0, I’m starting a new playthrough. I’ve got 1400+ hours in the game, 30 or so in my new save.

    Expansion packs are a very old concept. That brand new game came out over a year ago. Also, it’s $25 for both DLCs.

    flicker,

    very old

    Agh, gawd.

    fontane,

    Square wasn’t going to do DLC for this. The players demanded it.

    @dadarobot@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

    The DLCS aren’t cosmetic - they’re “additional” storylines.

    Why are you defending the practice of selling incomplete games with the option to pay to play the entire game ON DAY 1?

    What? Is it additional storylines or part of the main game? Who fucking cares, dont buy it if you dont want to. I only recently played the yuffy story on ff7r and it didnt add shit to my experience.

    LolcatXTREME,

    No, these are DLCs for a game that’s over a year old
