Has a game ever....unsettled you?

the only remotely unsettling part in mario 64 was the infinite stairs with the shepard tone

@grok please watch and summarize that video for me. I refuse to watch 15 minutes of zoomer schizophrenia.

Zoomers are terrified by everything

Did Dead Hand from OoT set some kind of precedent so now zoomers fool themselves into getting scared at low poly nothing? Even though it was always notable for being the exception and not the rule?

>>713177186 (OP)
seems so quaint now, but i remember the first time i played the Resident Evil Remake on gamecube it was pretty spooky.

>>713177426
i hope they dont talk in the the spoopy voice.

>>713177186 (OP)
Peach's castle is terrifying because of the masonic symbolism. Not for whatever dumb reason zoomers are afraid of it for.

Zoomies don't have a world of mystery and spooky ghost stories any more so they attribute it to video games and internet "culture" because their world has shrunk down so much.
Poor things.

I wish I could still find games spooky or scary.

Don't worry, the millenials are to blame anyway for teaching zoomers to be gay

I had a massive fear of mirrors as a kid so the Dagobah crystal section in the Force Unleashed 2 scared the shit out of me, especially when Starkiller's reflection started moving by itself. The zombie clones that appear there and on Kamino were also did the job.

The 80s and 90s had a lot of horror content aimed at children... I don't know why, but it did.

>>713179680
I can understand why ben drowned is scary. I cannot for the life of me understand why innocuous hallways and fucking Wet Dry World would be terrifying to anyone. I played this game as a very small child. If anyone should be terrified by it, it would be me, but I'm not. These people have a uniquely stupid neurosis, it's not normal. Therefore it's funny to laugh at.

>>713179965
That pic just reminds me of that one Kino's Journey episode with the robot family, frankly.

Younger zoomers tend to be actually kinda based. They are skeptics in most things after being subject to indoctrination their whole lives.
Its older zoomers that are the biggest retards to ever walk the earth. They chose to be faggots of their own volition and they will literally believe anything you tell them and are all woketards

>>713180741
>they will literally believe anything you tell them and are all woketards
Not me

>>713179965
You can hardly see that background while playing, anyway. I don't remember if it shows up anywhere else but WDW, but the only time you could possibly see it is when you're at the top of the town and also on the edge of the map. And if you're there, you're watching your platforming, not the stupid background.

I think the people who make these videos have too much free time

>>713180741
Nah you've got it backwards. Older zoomers can remember a time before the indoctrination was this bad, so they at least have a chance to resist it. Younger zoomers however don't know anything but the indoctrination and grooming they're subjected to in public schools. They're completely hopeless. I've never seen a based or skeptical young zoomer.

>>713177186 (OP)
vgh... sovl...

>>713179768
there was always "horror content aimed at children" through nursery rhymes and myths of monsters that would drag you away at night if you acted like a little shit

>>713177619
There’s still mystery afoot in the world they are just in denial about it. Occult infrastructure surrounds us all.

As a kid, I used to bounce between Spyro 1 and 2 a lot. I loved both games, but 1 would often unsettle me. There was just something about being completely alone and isolated in the world with everything simply trying to kill you. The few friendly encounters you have is just these statues that say a couple of things to you and then vanish forever. It made kid me believe they were actually hologram pads that would play old recordings of dragons that once were. You could run up to the pad to replay the recording. Spyro was all alone, and everything wanted him dead. Still the best Spyro game.

This has to be some kind of psychological issue where these fucking zoomers grew up in a world where many technological limitations have already been solved, so when they see them they get scared because it challenges their "perfect" world view.

>>713186067
This. Ask a zoomer how their cellphone works and they won’t be able to tell you.

>>713186216
To be fair, the process of turning binary 1s and 0s into a video game is completely arcane to me too. The sheer amount of instructions that must go into simple having shit appear on screen properly must be mind-boggling.

Zoomers are so stupid they act amazed if you tell them you can see the moon in the daytime. Either that or they get angry and claim you’re a big fat liar.

Non-meme answer, I used to sneak past the border between human and orc land in Gothic 1 when I was a kid.
I was retarded back then and didn't level up nor did I have any worthwhile armor or weapon, so I was basically completely helpless should I stumble across a group of orcs.
For me it was basically the first survival horror experience. The fact that the orc land was a creepy forest didn't help.

>>713186596
all the comments on these video are about how not creepy it is and how its fun you retard

>>713177186 (OP)
Not in this zoomy way where they get terrified of early 3D and think it's "the backrooms" or whatever. HL1 scared me in 1998 but that was because I was 5.

>>713179308
Zoomers were the primary consumers of creepypastas. That's literally why they are scared of Mario 64 in the first place, because they were trained to be scared of stupid shit.

>>713187891
well yes, thats a millennial classic past time, but i thought the point was that this was about zoomers, no?

>>713187823
>I would almost always get a feeling like I was being watched or that I was surrounded by evil

>>713188467
yeah, despite their limitations some games of the time had seriously goated artists working on them
also wow alone in the dark is from 1992? that's insane, i thought it released after doom

SWAT 4 cult mission. This fucking shit in particular.
I wasn't scared or anything, disturbed maybe?
I don't know what feeling that was, but all I know is that it left a pretty bad taste in my mouth.

Same, man.
Also in-game custom mission creator is a feature that needs to be in more games. God knows how much time I spent fucking around and creating my own scenarios.

>>713190152
I was asked if a game has ever unsettled me and I gave the one answer I could. Don't sass me, you little shit.

>>713177186 (OP)
It is a shame this happened, same with liminal spaces in a way. Their 2spoopy shit ruined something nice that was there. Mario 64 does have an interesting empty bizzare feel to it that gives a sense of discovery. It would be nice for more games to explore this feeling because discovery and mystery are fun. Alas though, now any game attempting that will just end up some skibidi horror, or way too overly empty. It almost makes me want to make a game myself to try to show how I think it should be done.

>>713191279
Spider-Man 2 on PC was a shit game, but I hope zoomers discover it because they would shit their pants due to all the LIMINALITY.

>>713179308
Starting with the boomers, it get worse with every passing generation, because teaching the classics has been de facto outlawed and saying that white people have a culture has become «fascist» and a hate crime.

I’m tutoring young people at works who know absolutely nothing - from philosophers to classical music and litterature, it doesn’t even exist as far as they are concerned.

>>713191609
I'm a zoomer and remember playing some Lego games when younger that had this feeling. Especially stuff like the marvel one where you could glitch out of the map and go through an empty city area out of bounds. It never scared me though and I don't really understand where the trend of retards acting like it is terrifying comes from. Maybe it is a creativity thing and more creative people instead see what could be done in the environment or the beauty of it on its own. A lot of liminal spaces do make for pretty good art backgrounds. The other thing I've never understood is the "places you've seen before" I've never once felt nostalgic looking at those places because I've never seen them before. Yet you see many dumb children acting like they remember a surreal depiction of a mall in the 90s. The only memory I have close to these things is one of a strangely big party room off the side of one of those indoor inflatable playgrounds or something. It doesn't cause me concern though.

Zoomfags have replaced atmosphere with "creepy". Anything that isn't a brightly lit open space is immediately creepy to them.
Liminal space. Source maps. These things have the potential to be creepy yes, and Source engine gives a distinct atmosphere to environments, but it isn't inherently creepy or frightening.

They have no appreciation for atmosphere, tone, composition and engaging with the audience's subconscious with suggestion and diegetic sound. It'll become a lost art and we'll get the most generic games imaginable.
Consider the Witcher 1, absolute slav jank piece of shit to play, but it has absolutely magnificent atmosphere. It can make or break a game

>>713192301
>I've never once felt nostalgic looking at those places because I've never seen them before
Not a zoomer but I actually have, kinda. Or more like it's closer to recognizing a few familiar details that do remind me of places I've seen (maybe not even in real life, more like on TV because I was born in a depressing shithole) with a mix of "I wish this was my childhood" kind of light jealousy.

Nintendo games used to have great spooky sections. They weren't super scary a lot of the time, but still a nice experience. Sadly, they don't seem to be as common anymore. Then again, Nintendo hasn't really made a normal game in about a decade. Maybe the next linear Mario game will have something again. I always really liked the little easter eggs they'd hide too, such as ghosts randomly appearing or hand prints.

One time while played modded subnautica I was swimming under the floating island, and I looked straight down and saw a giant creature looking directly up at me, just following me where I swam.
I think its AI was just restricted to the area it was in, so it was forced to look up at me rather than charge me, but it was pretty spooky.

Think about it...you could be creeping uneasily around the EERILY EMPTY (apart from all the Toads) mausoleum that is the Peaches Castle with its sinister jaunty music....uncertain of what bright darkness you might find hidden around the next corner, when suddenly, you hear it. The faint echo emanating from the walls, or perhaps, from within your very own soul, gnawing into your mind like a dreadful woodpecker. In your panic you discern only these macabre words....

I used to play this on our family’s gateway desktop with 512mb of hdd space in like 1998

>>713177186 (OP)
I do remember the first time a game actually scared me, it was Albion, the RPG on PC. The dungeon segments switched to first person and were very dark and needed torches lit, with enemies coming up at you to initiate the turn based battles with a growl. The first time a krondir came out of the darkness at the camera very quickly, I did feel a big lurch of fear. Didn't stop me playing, I was just on edge in the dungeons, the rest of the game was no bother.

>Now imagine that you're in a dilapidated mall in the dead of night
What is it with these fucking people and malls?

>>713207603
Malls are like ancient forgotten ruins to them. They see it the same way as being lost and alone in a mayan temple or mummy’s tomb.

>>713207603
You don't have to imagine anything. You're a kid, a YOUNG kid, not like you boomer manchildren who watched spongebob in their 20s or some shit, and the episode just ended, and now that the episode has ended there is just this... thing. This random fucking image of some yellow flowers, and over it is this weird fucking song with these odd ukulele notes with non-standard tuning.

It just sits there, for like 5 minutes, just playing the song.

It isn't building up to anything, the episode is over, so why is the screen there? It's late, the funnies are over, the episode is done, all you have is this screen. It WAS fucking creepy.

The room in this screenshot does not exist anywhere in peach's castle
I would remember it
Which begs the question, where did this room come from? Did someone model this for a spooky romhack?

>>713208694
you trying to hype it up like this just makes it funnier

>>713208694
anon it's a flower

>>713208694
I can sort of see it when the repeating three notes is all there is but then the Doo tah doo happens and it becomes a normal song.

>>713208694

pretty spot on, thanks for nailing this down for me anon

>UH YEAH ACTUALLY THE SPONGEBOB CREDITS DIDN’T SCARE ME AT ALL CUZ I’M A TOTALLY HARDCORE BADASS ALPHA MALE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiUzDb3lF18

>>713210664
Alternatively

i was scared of playing the n64 for a while because it jumpscared me with a high pitched sound when i bumped into it while playing a game and it spat out a bunch of numbers on the screen

>>713203431
No one of an age past 16 was scared of creepypastas at the time, even the older people who wrote or interacted with them just found it interesting of funny. Only actual zoomoids got scared and grew up with them as horror.

>>713208694
I dunno about you, but back when i was watching Spongebob, the credits did not last for five whole minutes. The credits would end and then there would be some commercials. Thats it.

>>713177186 (OP)
Why are zoomers such fucking pussies? Literally terrified of Bing Bing Wahoo OOOF? Absolutely pathetic

>>713200042
Then you will absolutely loathe Subnautica.
Especially when a Reaper locates you and trashes your Sea Moth.

>>713210941
It did have some startling crashes. I used to actually have nightmares about mario 64 going crazy as a kid.

>>713211730
It felt like 5 minutes, I don't know the exact time. I eventually began to immediately skip whenever the outro started because I felt very deeply that if I listened to the song for too long I would get cursed or die.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYdGB9nO2fE

>>713211971
That's millennials who are scared of Mario. Zoomers, the rare few times we feel fear, is only due to deeply psychological and nuanced horror

>>713177186 (OP)
Why is it a picture of Pokey overlaid? And where even is that room in the castle? I don't think that's in Mario 64 at all. Why isn't it a picture of the eel or the piano instead? You know stuff that might actually unnerve a young kid playing.

>>713188051
>Now imagine you're in a dilapidated mall
What do the Spongebob Squarepants end credits have to do with a dilapidated mall?

>>713212095
Are you talking about the DVD credits? Because i never bothered to watch those: I would either switch DVDs or turn off the TV to do something else. I honestly did not know that they had a five minute theme song loop on the DVDs.

>>713212669
No it was just the normal credits. I assume different stations played them differently.

>>713186596
>>713188051
Seeing people being scared of fucking SpongeBob of all things reminded me of how people were scared of the Nickelodeon fish opener that played on VHS tapes and DVDs. I remember years ago looking on some wiki with company logos and had scare factors attached to them, and I swear to fuck that gif related was rated nightmare, the highest of them all. And to top all that off, people have been writing creepypastas about this fucking thing. Some people are beyond stupid.

>>713213014
I dunno, either i don't remember, or i never actually saw those blank credits. Oh well, I guess I'll never truly know what it feels like.

>>713188051
>>713212431
It's really bizarre.
>Man, this thing is really spooky
>What? No it isn't
>Well, if it was completely removed from the original context and you saw it in some extremely contrived scenario that would already put you on edge in itself and/or it was edited and distorted like adding more reverb and lowering the quality to make it more spooky... it would be spooky!
Yeah, I guess if you were to take Mario 64 and say you'll kill me if I die in-game then it would be terrifying but it doesn't actually have anything to do with the game itself but a ridiculous fucking scenario you made up.

>>713213186
Anon you're literally a complete retard if you think people are scared of just a fish randomly, you're a drooling 5 IQ dunning-Kruger incapable of understanding that people can have different experiences attached to those images and that the contexts under which they are presented can give them a completely different meaning.

>>713213613
Yeah dumbass because that's exactly why it's scary, the context it's attached to and how that context influences you psychologically. Putting it in an empty mall is a good comparison to its actual context which then TRIES to explain it to braindead millennials and evidently fails. The Spongebob episode ending late at night and leaving you with nothing but a pointless outro song with some yellow flowers is similar to the feeling of being left alone in an empty mall. You're somewhere you're not supposed to be.

>>713213776
>>713214110
Rambling isn't going to make "Whoa like imagine you're in a creepy location alone trapped in the dark, and....this music plays!" any less stupid. Anything played in a creepy location alone lost in the dark would seem spooky, because it's the location that's threatening, not the music.

>>713213776
NTA, but i think i get your point: I remember getting unnerved whenever opening a closed door because I found my fathers corpse that way. Sometimes mundane things can remind you of the terrible things you went through.

>>713207271

>>713214110

Nigger it's a fucking orange fish in a black background, what context is there? It's a short logo that goes as quickly as it comes. Stop being a neurotic retard and trying to find unnerving shit in something that is clearly innocuous.

When I was a kid, I was so afraid of the horror levels in Gex 64, I had to get my dad to beat them. It was mostly because of these "Hucky" fuckers. Aside from just looking creepy, once you hit them, the head flies off and then their completely invincible body will keep chasing you trying to stab you to death. You have to destroy the decapitated head to end them.

>>713214545
Anon I am not joking when I tell you that you are actually a troglodyte subhuman if you don't understand what I'm saying. Like you are actually mentally handicapped, this is like not understand why the square shape can't fit inside the triangle shape.

>>713214393
Maybe if you read the text instead of just being retarded you'd understand the "rambling" better?
>>713214493
???? yes it is that is literally the context

>>713213186
That? Really?
I thought this a little spooky the first time I saw it, it gave me a swooping sensation I only recall one other time, that being Clanker's Cavern in Banjo-Kazooie, the first time you enter. But I think a giant underwater maw moving much faster than you could swim is a reasonable thing to seem scary to a kid. In any case it's momentary. Nothing to dwell on for years exaggerating how scary it was.

>>713212325
This, I was REALLY scared of unagi when I was a child. That and the eels in majora. It didn't help that the resolution image was low on a crt and there was fog and low draw distance

>>713179965


Ever since I was a kid, I did have that strange and uncomfortable feeling playing that level simply because of how eerie and mysterious it is. There are so many questions we had, but none of them are explained, like the submerged city and the purpose of that small town you swim to. The way Wet-Dry World is designed makes you feel trapped. You get that feeling that this was the home for millions of people, only for them to....disappear. Not to mention that when you swim to the abandoned town, you cannot go back. Combine all of that with the haunting music and you get a level that makes you feel lonely, isolated and trapped in another world with so many things that you questioned, but never answered, making the eerie and abandoned world that you are in even more haunting and mysterious. This is a world where nothing is explained, nothing makes sense and you are trapped there with creatures that can harm you. This is a world where nobody wants to be in because of everything that I just said. That is my explanation on why Wet-Dry World gives me that negative emotional aura. But despite all that, this is still one of my favorite levels from Super Mario 64.

>Look this up, extremely obscure, weird looking game published in 1982.

What the fuck? How do you know about this? Why would you reference it? Other than looking kinda weirdly eerie because of its age, there's nothing weird about it.

>>713223275
Its not obscure at all. It was basically the first horror game

>>713223346
There's one video on youtube I can find showcasing the game in which it calls it a random boring old game they dug up [YT channel plays super old obscure games]
And the wiki page's really, really strangely small.
Despite being so small of an article, the wiki page includes multiple quotes from a bunch of defunct game websites and magazines all praising the game.

>>713177186 (OP)
I was genuinely scared by the boos when playing 64 as a kid. Specifically their laughs were creepy, I would always turn down the music silent when i had to go to the basement, so I wouldn't have to hear their laugh

>>713186359
Several generations of men spent their entire working career increasingly simplifying it so you wouldn't have to learn how it works. This is also the case for pretty much every other form of technology we have. It's pretty neat, and I won't let their hard work go to waste by trying to understand it myself

>>713223346
Update: I somehow found some random game called "Escape", released in 1982.

Do you numbskulls get the idea of "subtlety".

I dare any fucker to pretend that this shit wasn't eerily dream-like as fuck.

Had a weird fucking dream based on it as a kid where Diddy Kong was in Cera's place. A woman's voice could then be heard mockingly warning me "Hey, Big Boy's coming to get you!" and as Diddy pulled back some bushes to see what was behind them, a giant King Kong-like creature rushed at the screen, ending the dream.

>>713177186 (OP)
When I was a little kid I actually did find Shade Abbey unsettling, though it's intentional.
You enter the abbey and find the chapel courtyard is a mess. Most of the graves have been dug up, the priest's quarters are in ruins, and non-hostile monsters wander the buildings next to normal people. All the people have strange dialogue that's either stilted and unnatural, or bewildered and confused as if they'd just been transported there with magic.
And when you enter the chapel, every single NPC in the area will immediately follow you into the building. No dialogue changes, no indication that they are doing this until the way out is blocked.

>>713225646
>Spongebobs drivers license address was cross referenced and next to Epsteins Island.

Real talk though, the animations that played whenever your character moved in the out of bound areas bring up so many unnerving questions when you take a few minutes to think about it (3:08, 5:06, 6:48). Why does Spongebob look like he's being dragged by some unknown force? Why does Patrick lean back as if his legs have minds of their own and are taking him somewhere he doesn't want to go? Why is Sandy reduced to a feral animal running on all fours? Is the hand really placing them back on the stage or rescuing them from this mysterious force?

>>713223275

Generational warfare is a retarded psyop.

When I was in elementary school, I had a high-functioning autistic friend. We played Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets on the PS1. It had one of those secret rooms in it where a moving suit of armor came after you and you had to fight it, and he freaked out, tossed the controller so hard it broke, covered his ears and just wailed and cried until the system was turned off.
He later explained that the music scared him.

>>713234096

this scared the shit out of me as a kid because dying is scary in games when youre 6, you dont just think "time to try again", instead its just "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" plus how dark it was in there and the fact that i was too stupid to try throwing oranges at the fat guys and just clearing the area, mixed with my mom being like ONLY ONE HOUR OF GAMES A DAY = holy fuck if i die im gonna die irl

i remember playing a flash game called super karoshi that had some weird unsolvable secret levels at the end. it was too long ago for me to remember anything about it other than the slight unease it gave me
