The Bunker was better but still, it wouldn't exist without Dark Descent

Alien Isolation was better but amnesia did it first

>>713311962
I still haven't played it, is it really that good? I'm not much into scifi and Alien, but I really need something to shit and piss my pants.

>>713311549 (OP)
The despawning completely kills any tension

>>713312135
Things get spooky once you get to the storage basement. Unfortunately the horror fades significantly once you meet some faggot guy in the last stretch of the game.

>>713312135
its good for the first 3-4 hours but then it just keeps repeating itself over and over again for another 12 hours.

I feel like horror games really benefit from being on the shorter side and adding value with replayability. Resident Evil nailed it with a 6 hour game.

>>713311549 (OP)
Quite scary until the pig showed up

Bunker was really freaking good.

>>713311549 (OP)
Ahem

Not so fast Pedro

>>713312135
depends on how much tolerance you have built up. if you're a weanie with horror games amnesia will definitely scare you.

>>713311549 (OP)
So far PT and Visage are the only games that made me uncomfortable because the atmosphere was hardcore spooky so I was expecting hardcore jumpscares, and even then the jumpscares in those games are just normal jumpscares. I'm waiting for a game that is VICIOUS in its jumpscares. Psychologically disturbing by using certain frequencies and sound design to fuck with your brain as it jumpscares you, things like that. Vid related is sorta what I'm talking about, how the sound design is inherently disturbing to our brains.

Amnesia and Outlast we're not scary at all imo. Felt cartoonish and stupid.
I had scarier moments playing phasmaphobia when it first came out

>>713311549 (OP)
Ahem.

>>713314674
I think I know what you're talking about. For me, water monster from Amnesia will never be surpassed, but it's effect wears off after you experienced it once.

Still, here's my top of spookiest moments from horror games:
First 3-4 hours of Fatal frame 3 (arrival at mansion and THAT cutscene at home), Fatal Frame 4 is almost close but not enough, still worth trying;
FEAR 2 scene at school;
Last sequence of "Devotion" game, same with Scorn;
Butcher's creek ending.

That's first comes to mind for what's really stuck in my head to this day, there can be something else, but i can't remember it now. Nevertheless, this games is much more better than any jumpscare bullshit.

I just remember going down the elevator and giving up after that. I don't know why, but movies are never scary but vidya can be really scary.

SH2's apartment whisper always gets me when i have headphones on

>>713311549 (OP)
Penumbra Overture/Black Plague and Amnesia The Dark Descent are more scary than Silent Hill. You can argue that SH has the better design in all aspects, from puzzle solving, combat to actual level design. But in regards to what made me terrified Amnesia did it best. What is also cool about Amnesia is that it had it's own engine developed for it with versatile modding support. Therefore so much good content for it exists and total conversions.

Alien Isolation > Outlast 2 > Outlast > Blair Witch Project > dog shit > AIDS > The Last of Us 2 > Any Amnesia game

>>713322163
*Except the Bunker which I haven't played

Dark Descent sucks real bad though

>>713311549 (OP)
i just played the videogame "Resident Evil 2" and it was much scarier. but i only played amnesia by watching pewdiepie play it.

>>713312135
no it's just reddit thing
>>713322163
go fucking kys

>effect wears off after you experienced it once
TDD lacks replayability factor in general but makes up for it with richer puzzles as opposed to the Bunker where it's a constant repeat of find gas - kill rats - explore - fend off the imposter - loot shit - open doors with bricks or grenades. Not that it's a bad thing though.

What monster (from any game) would you call "always scary"? For me its the bunker monster. I think increased unpredictability really keeps the scare on for long

>>713322358
>but i only played amnesia by watching pewdiepie play it.
Well that's a sure way to ruin the horror of everything. Just like watching Markiplier play something achieves the same effect of anti horror. Scare cam lets players gives you a bad impression of anything. Any horror game is best experienced as blindly as possible. Just like it is with a movie.

>>713311712
If you think The Bunker is better than TDD you must have serious brain damage

>>713312135
It's good but everyone agrees it's way too long. Like you're ready for it to end 2 or 3 times but it keeps going. But still a good game.

>>713322163
>Outlast 2 that high

lol opinion discarded

>>713311549 (OP)
You posted the wrong image.

>>713319836
Same. I played the game when I was maybe 13 or 14 years old. I remember being very scared during the water monster part, but it was a "panicky" fear, and once it was over I felt relief. The storage room was scary too, but you're in and out. And then of course there's the "jumpscare" in the guest room. But when I got to the prison and saw it was basically a totally pitch black maze in the dark, no "safe" area, I couldn't do it. The stress was giving me fatigue. I didn't finish the game until years later.

>>713311549 (OP)
It isn't even the scariest Amnesia game.

>>713314674
The original Silent Hill has what you are talking about with regards to sound design but it is less jumpscare focused although there is a section with very, very intense scares.

Justine and picrel freaked me out more tbqh

The first time an ayylium showed up in the game I didn't even realize it lel

>>713311549 (OP)

It’s literally impossible for me to put into words how disappointed I was with The Bunker. The Amnesia with the pregnant girl sucked but whatever, devs can stumble. I adored Soma and would put it in my top 5 favorite horror games of all time, and the premise of The Bunker got me hyped perhaps more than I should have considering how lackluster I found the previous entry.

But my God was it bad. It featured the two worst cardinal sins in horror games: annoying gameplay elements (charging the flashlight CONSTANTLY) and an unscary creature design. I wished they leaned into the body horror a bit more.

>>713324593
vagina mouth doesn't look that scary either

>>713324593
Just the trailer bored me to tears, that wasn't a good sign. Not to mention I dropped the girl in desert one because how fucking bad it was.
Frictional is so hilariously inconsistent

>>713324561
How did they get away with being so aggressively wrong?

>>713324673
? Amnesia? I agree, I didn’t find those things scary either.

>>713324714
You watched all 21 minutes and 31 seconds of the video, or have you already seen the video? If so, what are they wrong about?

>>713324818
I watched it years ago. As I recall, they bitch about the alien being too aggressive, not having enough stealth options as if there isn't a radial menu with a dozen weapons and tools, and about the game being too long (their one good point).

>>713311549 (OP)
Only the water monster part is scary

>>713311549 (OP)
is it really that scary? I wanted to play it in vr for first time, have it on my quest already

>>713311549 (OP)
The first time I played this game I had a bug where I hid from a monster, it found me but didn't attack me just kept staring at my character while standing near me
It was a pretty scary game but I couldn't take it completely seriously because of that funny bug
