i remember one quest in oblivion, i think it was for the mage's guild. you had to swim down some insanely deep underwater cave and at the bottom a giant slaughterfish was waiting for you. pretty creepy at first

That fucking thread, goddamnit
[QUOTE=The very best;38781788]Not really that strange, video games allow anything to happen, water is deep, expansive, unknown and you can't see very far while in it.
Put them both together, and the mind starts making scary shit up.
The water in Dark souls scared the shit out of me, because of this cunt.

That was only scary because there was a death-pit that you can barely see within the area you have to fight that guy.
Not even scary, just incredibly annoying.

First time I fought him I unknowingly wandered too close and started sliding into the abyss
didn't know the hole was there, spooked me the hell out
those sharks in far cry 3 and crysis

FUCK
THAT[/B]
you guys are weird
water is fine
Put 1 step into Far Cry 3 water
Crocodile leaps out at lighting speed and gives you the biggest heart attack possible before trying to death roll an entire limb off and eat your skull
Have fun
I remember the first time I went swimming in the sea in Gothic 2. Didn't touch water in a videogame for quite some time after that.
Fuckin Amnesia water.

This game was made for you guys.
I'm not really scared of water in video games. I do get cautious near it though.
I am however constantly on edge in games about jump scares or things just jumping out. It seems every game these days has one it's rather annoying.
I have this too, it probably started in first crysis. At night after the initial landing, I went swimming for some reason (look at all dem grafix etc), I swam really deep. And suddenly, red triangles on the radar. fuck

b4 i got the game i saw a vid where someone just randomly got attacked by a croc
so naturally when i got it i was wary when i was swimming
but after a while of swimming without incident, i became less cautious
until one time i was swimming, and then i came to the realization that i was in the exact same spot the video was taken in. the instant i react, BAM a croc grabs me
Fear of dark, deep and murky water started with that goddamn eel in Super Mario 64 in my case.
Fighting Hydrus in Shadow of the Colossus was uncomfortable - Pelagia even more so, because I never went far enough down to see its legs. I just dove down a very short distance and assumed it was an incredibly long neck supporting the half-destroyed head of a much larger creature.
I don't understand why people so scared. The ichy in HL was a mere major annoyance for me,as it's physics were broken and it was really jumpy.
That's not even mentioning that most video game characters (against all logic most of the time) cannot swim. I'M LOOKING AT YOU, MASTER CHIEF!

Hydrus took me hours to work up the courage to fight, seeing the water terrified me. Pelagia wasn't as bad, when I saw it, I could only think of it as a big horse. Had it actually been a long neck stretching up from the depths, I would have been terrified. For me, Dirge was the worst, turning around to see those huge eyes right behind you, I literally threw the controller in the air first time it happened.
Jellyfish in Ape Escape terrified me as a kid, but I have no problem with water in games anymore. I like it, in fact, in both Oblivion and Skyrim I used to dive deep in the sea in hopes of some secrets. There was a rumor of a giant slaughterfish swimming somewhere deep in the sea in Skyrim when it was new, I was trying to find it. Shame it was a fake.

Isn't that suit supposed to weigh something between 1-5 tons...?
I know this feel. That [I]FUCKING[/I] ictyosaur man.
Shit's so evil
I used to hate water, like in Rayman 2. I used to avoid diving because I was afraid that the character should drown. Then, the nightmare part comes an entire place underwater that you have to swim through. Also, there was a whale that gives you air bubbles and there were also fishes that eat those bubbles. That was horrible first time, but then I found out that is was actually pretty easy.
When playing Black Mesa, my character got stuck somewhere underwater, that was really annoying.
I totally get what you're feeling. I screamed and had had a massive panic attack when playing the campaign mode in COD: Ghosts

I'm not that afraid of things lurking underwater, but when I was a kid I couldn't complete the first Ratchet and Clank on my own because I couldn't get myself to move through the sewer thing that slowly gets flooded with water. Seeing Ratchet helplessly suffocate a few times made me so scared of drowning that I just let my cousin do that part for me. I'm still scared of diving in real life.
From all of these, I find those Ichies from HL the most terrifying of all
Damn, I know what it feels like. My fear started with Serious Sam the second encounter. They drop us on a lake, well that was okay. But after that some angler fish will come and try to kill you. Dude they were really scary, atleast for a 6 year old kid.
What about a swarm of these in Quake 2 that cover your entire screen?

Subnautica made me realize I have a fear of deep sea diving.

This thing was a fucking nightmare.
