So you are no longer sensitive to emotions?

Still scared, just grew a set of balls in the process.

The game is strong, while there aren't many jump scares in the traditional sense it uses even worse strategies like really long sections with light deprivation, no rest, sound design that creates anxiety. The prison +labyrinth sections are not something that everyone can go through imo.

Horror doesn't affect me because I'm looking at a screen, there's nothing that can actually hurt me etc.
At most there will a bunch of cheap/shitty jumpscares.

the original part 2 gave me nightmares and i was going through a breakup at the time.

but also:

i can't wait to replay these titles. even just the demo of the first one scared the shyt out of me lol .

lol you like nightmares?

 

[Fess]

You need to go balls deep. Headphones on. Lights off. 4am home alone. If it doesn't kill you, you'll start enjoying them.

My experience: I played it at the original launch, got stupidly scared, lowered the volume, was a nerve wreck, completely turned off the sound; still got so scared I felt sick. Nope nope nope

Push through, OP. Some of my favorite games were the ones I was too stressed to play at first. RE7, Dead Space 2, Alien: Isolation.

It makes beating them that much more of a feat.

 

[cinnamonandgravy]

play with the volume really low, and avoid surround sound/headphones.
game has excellent sound and makes it waaay scarier.

Don't be overcome with fear.

It could be worse. It could be Outlast where you have no weapons at all.

At least James has an unbreakable melee weapon even when ammo runs out and a mechanically good dodge button for a horror game.

James felt pretty bad ass to play despite being an everyman.

I love horror games but because I have played so many, I just don't get scared anymore or feel anything to be honest. I actually like the resource management. I find that more stressful than anything else in a good way.

 

[Alexios]

This mod should fix it for you.

[noob smokes]

Git gud u scary ass beeyatch

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

Never play RE7 VR, you're going to shit on yourself.

Honestly, Silent Hill was never so much scary, it always have been about that thick and heavy creepy unique atmosphere which I love.

 

[SHA]

The fun part is when you overcome that fear and you'll remember it for the rest of your life like we do.

I LOVED it…….but it was like 4 hours too long. Way too intense to be a 17+ hour game!!! Still give it a 10/10 but damn that shit’s scary yo.

Me at hour 17:

That was my takeaway. I actually thought it got a tad boring at the end (I never played the original, so this was a fresh take).
