The decline of survival horror games

[zz_tophat]

As far as single player survival horror goes, I agree, it's getting really hard to make me even react when something happens on screen. When something jumps out of the shadows at me I react by using pumping as many bullets as needed in to it's head and continuing as if scripted scary events didn't even exist.


However out of all the online games I play goes, I play zombie master more than anything else. Not for the scares but because I like to mow down hordes of nasty critters.

The last game that thoroughly scared me was Penumbra.

I'm in the mood for some scary games, so if anyone has any suggestions, I'm totally up for it.

Most games just startle you. They don't really build up the tension.

Bioshock wasn't scary for me, it was just a damn good game.

It was messed up.
i was playing it with my cousin and the first level when the splicer comes out to get you in that room after you go through the glass tubes that are bursting all around you.
i was searching some stuff then i look around and BOOM the freakin dude hits me and scares the crap outta me.

Also, Fort frolic had me really worried when i first went in there

Games like that aren't scary. It's more of a "messed-up" or "stay-in-the-dark-until-you-see-a-cheap-pop-up-of-a-monster" game.

For the love of.... please only because a game has some loving "Scary" things on it, it doesnt mean it was supposed to be scary, these people is getting on my nerves.

Stop being a god damn ass. People may find things scary that you dont, that doesnt mean you get mad at them.
God damn.

Thats not what im saying, im saying that not only because it has "scary" things on it, it means is supposed to be a scary game. And that goes for Tman too.

That did not make sense at all.
