Lots of violence, blood, scary atmosphere, disturbing OST (some music can be nice, like vocals in Silent Hill), hellish monsters, zombies...

Like, give me a break!!!

 

[Bartski]

go play mario then

 

[Nankatsu]

Horror games are awesome.

Puts you on the edge of your seat.

Plus, it prepares you for the zombie apocalypse that will happen in the future.

 

[NuclearDiarrhea]

Pussy.

 

[MSduderino]

No. They are quite thrilling.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

They're meh.

The only real scary horror game was P.T.

Though I have to admit that Project Zero (Fatal Frame) was pretty unsettling at times.

 

[Bonfires Down]

I like horror games and I also like cozy, life sim games. To each their own.

 

[BigLee74]

Me. I'm a big girls blouse.

 

[WhereIzJP]

Been playing SH2R it's so good and it's my first time playing it.

 

[RJMacready73]

I love horror games in VR, playing resident evil with headphones on alone at night, it just sucks you right into the game, stress city

 

[VGA-Games]

I really loved Resident Evil until Capcom changed the Perspective to 1st Person.

 

[Bojji]

I really like Horror games but to be honest not even one of them ever scared me (outside of typical jump scares). I like gameplay, atmosphere, puzzle solving etc.

Same story with horror movies, I really like them but rarely they work on me. But "Haunting of the Hill House" is something else - this shit was intense (watching alone in the middle of the night).

 

[hemo memo]

I actually enjoy them, but my fear of them is no joke; they stress the hell out of me.

 

[N0S]

Not when they run @30fps

Should try Silent Hill 2 if you haven't.

 

[Bojji]

Should try Silent Hill 2 if you haven't.

I completed both original version and remake. Great games.

 

[JimmyRustler]

I love horror games where I can fight back but HATE the hide a seek ones where you have no weapens.

 

[SILKYSMOOTH30FPS]

Stick to Animal Crossing.

 

[MrJangles]

Doom 3 on PSVR is the scariest game I'ever played. Absolutely brutal!

 

[Sybrix]

I hate them.

I don't like horror movies either, really not my thing at all.

Leave it to other people.

yeah VR horror is scary, I cant do it.

 

[Humdinger]

Yeah, I've never really liked either horror movies, novels, or games. I just don't enjoy the experience of being made anxious. Not that most horror novels/movies/games do that. Most are not particularly scary, apart from the occasional jump scare. They're trying to scare me but it's not working.

I do gravitate toward material based on real-world horrors, though - the Holocaust, Vietnam, psychopathic sadists, that sort of thing. I wouldn't call it "frightening," but it can definitely be disturbing. It's the real-world element that makes it so unsettling. With a horror movie/game, I'm always aware that it's a story somebody made up. That removes most of its punch. But when it's something you know actually happened to real people, that's different.

I have to take that sort of thing in small doses, though. It's not exactly light entertainment, and too much of it puts me in a dark, gloomy mood. I've never come across anything like that in games, though; just in books, movies, and documentaries.

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

Even if you don't enjoy them, Silent Hill 2 remake is one of those experiences you need to live.

 

[hemo memo]

Stick to Animal Crossing.

I mean

 

[Humdinger]

I mean

That's kinda scary right there.

I love horror movies, but when it comes to games it's often too much for me. It's too immersive. But SOMA was a great experience and I recommend it to people who don't normally enjoy horror games.

 

[SILKYSMOOTH30FPS]

I mean

Y'all need to stop stealing my pic. It's mine.

 

[PeteBull]

Its not about genre, its about quality of a game, high quality musthave horror game was fire to me back in the days.

 

[HRK69]

Yeah, it's mainly because I can't handle the tension or jumpscares

Funny enough, I'm actually playing The Last of Us Part II right now and I almost quit during the stalker reveal.

You walk into the building, check out a few rooms, then turn around and bam, that fucker just standing there in the doorway, like hes been waiting. That part nearly broke me lmao

 

[MMaRsu]

Depends on the type. I find the pt knockoffs lame as hell

 

[kremiso]

if isn't only a pitch black festival, i like them;
i hate when you can't see a thing, i think new monitors increased this issue

brightness - contrast - gamma option should be mandatory in all these type of games

 

[Ar¢tos]

I don't like them. Real life is bad enough, why would I immerse myself in a scary horror game to get away from the responsibilities of real life?

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Don't have it in you to handle blood, guts, brains and decomposed bodies? Jumpscares, loud and unexpected noises? Giant babies running towards you, screaming, covered in aged milk and callin' you Papa? OP?

In all seriousness though, you're missing a lot, but I understand, not everyone can handle this shit.

 

[winjer]

Depends on the game. If it's something that creates a good, scary atmosphere, then I like it.
But if it's just random jump scares, then it becomes really lame.

 

[simpatico]

I don't like the ones with invincible chase monsters. I mod out Mr X when I play REmake2 and it's a better game that way. Really hope RE9 doesn't step in that pothole.
