Weak list to choose from, but I still entered.
One of the scariest moments I've had was Alien Isolation on Nightmare difficulty and I had no items to use and had to get around the Alien. It's even more unpredictable and the visuals of the motion tracker are almost completely blurred. Not knowing how to reach your goal, while that unpredictable alien stalks around is motherfucking scary.
Man, shit list.
My scariest encounter has to be the first time I encountered the hunter in dead space.
Game had been straight forward until then, limbs come off and baddies die.
[I]until the hunter.[/I] I wasn't expecting it. He popped out, door was locked behind me, and it was unnerving enough that he looks at me... stares... sharpens his claws... and just [I]walks[/I] towards me. Brisk pace sure, but the sheer confidence creeped me out.
Then, delimbed and dead, I try to get the door open. [I]And it starts moving.[/I]
I don't scream in video games very often, but that was a moment of genuine [B]panic[/B] as I realized I couldn't kill him.
"Tell us YOUR scariest gaming moment."
Forced to choose from a list...
:huh:
Edit: Though my scariest moment was when I first started playing the game Black & White. Playing at around midnight, Aunt and Gram have been sleeping for hours. Suddenly I hear a whisper "Deeeeeeathhhhh". Then I freaked out. I went to check on my Aunt and Gram. They were okay. Started playing again, and I hear it again. After a few moments I realize it's coming from my speakers. Every time a villager dies you hear the someone whisper "Deeeeeeathhhhh".
i was playing sleeping dogs when my power supply blew up. i thot i fried my system but it ended up being only the psu
I got scared by my own reflection in Doom 3 once. It was actually pretty scary.
I was playing Metroid Prime. When you are looking at a strong light in that game, for example shooting a charged shot against a close wall, you can see a reflection of samus' face on the screen. That was in the Gamecube era where there was close-but-not-quite realism and I wasn't expecting it, so it spooked me.
TheBlu for Vive. Its a "game" where you're under the sea and watch cinematics basically. Well, there's one episode that takes place on the bottom of the sea in pitch blackness which is already terrifying enough. Combined with the immersiveness of VR, the ambient music (creepy booming sounds, etc) and your only source of light being your flashlight (and a pretty weak one, at that), I was actually trembling a little as I constantly turned this way and that to check my surroundings.
