Lokarin 10/03/18 11:41:55 PM #2:	I haven't found a horror game 'series' that I truly liked,l but I have some opinions: 1. The theming/branding and overall design of Five Nights at Freddy's is excellent. I don't like the games themselves, but I really like the phenomenon. 2. Dead Space 1 is probably my favourite horror game gameplaywise 3. Sweet Home is probably the best horror game made, but I usually exclude foreign games in my considerations (such as Terranigma doesn't exist) --- "Salt cures Everything!"

ParanoidObsessive 10/04/18 4:01:39 AM #15:	I don't play a ton of horror games. Back when I still did, early RE games and Fatal Frame were probably a toss up for which managed to creep me out more.

I tried to include games that I believe were focused on being scary. Ones with more focus on the action, like FEAR (scary at times, sure, but mostly typical FPS), didn't make it to the poll list. It's kind of a truism that if you can shoot back at the monsters, it takes a lot of the horror out of the horror. Early RE kind of bypassed this by having terrible controls, so even though you COULD theoretically shoot at zombies, you were never entirely sure if it was going to work. That, combined with limited ammo and healing led to the feeling of helplessness that's sort of required to really make a horror game scary. That's also why RE7 was majorly successful at reviving the flagging franchise mostly by giving you constantly reoccurring monsters you really CAN'T fight most of the time, so a lot of the game involves running away in terror. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:909931012] in Your favou...

AMfP is highly underrated IMO. It may lack some of the gameplay that made TDD great but it excels in the scares and storytelling. SOMA beats them both but is not a series.

It's different with lightgun games because they control the pace and rely on jumps. Most horror games aren't scary simply because when you can control the pacing and direction, it takes away the suspense. For instance, when you know that a jump may be coming, you can choose to hold off approaching a corridor until you feel ready. In a lightgun game, the game may slow things down for a second to build up suspense, turn the corridor and... nothing... but then right after you've been lulled into a false sense of security, bam! Something happens.

EnvyFox 10/08/18 12:09:08 AM #28:	Fatal Frame, Resident Evil and Silent Hill were the three that jumped out at me the most when reading the list and, after thinking on it for a bit, I've decided that Resident Evil gets my vote. Well, more specifically, all of the main line games that used tank controls, that Code: Veronica arcade game spin-off, Outbreak File #2, 4 and 7. Resident Evil 2 is still my favorite game in the series but I have to say I played 7 recently and am loving where Capcom is taking the series right now. Sure beats the hell out of whatever 5 and 6 were supposed to be. After that, comes Silent Hill. While SH1 was the first game to legitimately scare me even after I stopped playing it, I haven't played that game since I was a kid and only beat three SH games to date. Of those three, only SH2 was truly spectacular. SH4 was better than a lot of people give it credit for but I wouldn't rank it as high as SH2 and Homecoming simply had no right calling itself a Silent Hill game (though it was mildly enjoyable as an action game). Then there's Fatal Frame. While the first game scares me as a grown man almlst as much as the first Silent Hill scared me as a kid (something about ghosts creep me the hell out), the truth is that's the only game in the series I've played so far and I haven't even beaten it yet. Still, for just one game to be good enough for me to even consider casting my vote for the series solely because of it is incredible and I hear that it's sequel is even better which is music to my ears. Maybe if I can get my hands on more of these games, they might even overtake the Silent Hill series as my #2 favorite. <cite>EnvyFox posted [p:910151940] in Your favou...

And grrrrr for not including it / knowing it exists There were a lot of game series that couldn't fit. I tried to include games that I believe were focused on being scary. Ones with more focus on the action, like FEAR (scary at times, sure, but mostly typical FPS), didn't make it to the poll list. Yet you had room for certain other titles. Tsk, tsk! ParanoidObsessive posted... It's kind of a truism that if you can shoot back at the monsters, it takes a lot of the horror out of the horror. It's different with lightgun games because they control the pace and rely on jumps. Most horror games aren't scary simply because when you can control the pacing and direction, it takes away the suspense. For instance, when you know that a jump may be coming, you can choose to hold off approaching a corridor until you feel ready. In a lightgun game, the game may slow things down for a second to build up suspense, turn the corridor and... nothing... but then right after you've been lulled into a false sense of security, bam! Something happens. Granted, a lot of lightgun games also go cartoony (CarnEvil) which can undercut a lot of that. Jump scares are startling, not scary at all. They're the biggest reason horror movies are going down the drain. --- There are more than two genders, try to change my mind <cite>lihlih posted [p:910187719] in Your favou...

No, the reason is that Hollywood isn't good enough with found footage and ghost movies yet. They just need to keep practicing until they get it right. tbh, ghost movies and found footage are nowhere near as overproduced as slashers. And the found footage genre tends to be more indie than Hollywood, given that it's a justifiable way to do low-cost filmmaking. Lokarin posted...
