Ever since I was a child I've hated the horror genre, I just don't understand how people can have fun with it.

You have to not be a gay retarded pussy

You’re just not built for it. I never liked it either. Horror games always feel like a linear movie game. I loved FEAR but that doesn’t really count.

the adrenaline and being chased by a scary thing is pretty fun. its even more fun with friends cuz you get to hear their onions noises.

onion noises?

The games are never fun, they're mostly just bait to create fandoms where the real fun is had

Facing your fears and managing to overcome them. You have to desensitize yourself to the fear.

I enjoy the tension

Most modern horror games are fucking shit anyway, I wouldn't bother. 99% of them have autosaves every 15 seconds to not upset casuals and force them to replay too much. There needs to be tension and a sense of urgency to not die, because if your only punishment for dying is getting sent back 10 seconds, it makes for a shit horror game. Looking at you, Outlast.

Same reason people like working out or listening to discordant music or BDSM. It's objectively unpleasant, that's the whole point

Is this some SMG3 shit? Why is that so popular? Is it the modern machinima?

I'm too much of a pussy to handle games with jumpscares. I know they're like bottom of the barrel stuff for some people, but they still scare me and the paranoia of one popping up is too much sometimes.

Horror is a good way to put pressure on the player and increase the perceived difficulty of the entire game. Creepy imagery puts you on edge, people on edge are a bit jumpier and more cautious, so they look over their shoulder more often. If you like the feeling you like the feeling, it's not for everyone.

Also a lot of horror games come with fun bonuses like gimmick-y puzzles or monsters that double as appealing characters in their own right. Makes the whole experience more enjoyable overall.
