First Time I've Screamed Out Loud In Fear...

<div class="IPBDescription">Damn you DOOM3!</div> My god, I never knew that could actually happen to me. I'm playing the demo of DOOM3 after playing a bit of Co-op on my friend's xbox this weekend, and I'm a little bit into it. After the disaster, of course.

Anyways, I load up my game where I stopped playing last night because I was getting slightly bored with it, but was also starting to get slightly freaked out. Immediatly the transmission comes in with the people being slaughtered and the door in front of me has slid open. The machinery in the room makes this loud banging sound every ten seconds or so, already the scene is set for me to crap myself. I look through the door a bit before taking out my flashlight and looking around the I'm already in. I'm probing the area with my flashlight when a hidden body pops up in front of me and freaks me out a bit, I didnt see him there and, well, hes not pretty. I continue to check out the rest of the room as the transmissions truely keep me on the edge.

Now I'm sitting by the door and have finally mustered up the courage to go through. I'm frantacally searching around with my flashlight as the machinery is clanging around me. I walk around the corner and hear that brief zombie ("BOO!") before swinging around to come face to face with this bloody zombie. Quickly I rip out my pistol and shoot about four shots to his face before the bastard goes down, popping another one into his corpse afterwards. Alright.. ok. Freaked me out. I kind of sit where the zombie was and search around that corner. No, nothing else. Not that I see. And another door slides open to my right.

I peer through it to see a grate floor with eerie blue light comming through it. One of the grates is lifted up and when I step foward I hear the imp pounding around. I'm dead set on not getting the **** scared out of me, so I keep my flashlight on that grate as I step backwards down the stairs. All of a sudden I pick up a shotgun, switching off my flashlight and making the entire room black except for the small red lights and that one blue light. I step onto a hidden elevator as I'm still backing up in fear (the imp did some more pounding) and it makes a loud BANG as it shoots downward into a dim, red lit small passage. My heart is racing as I swing around to see three zombies about eight feet away from me.

"F***!!!!!!!" I scream out in a truely, frightened man voice as I open up a can of gamer survival instinct and blow the living crap out of all the zombies.

I dont think I've ever been more scared in my entire life. That seriously almost made me **** myself.

    Edit: That was a lie. Feel free to tell us of how you got scared.

    Doom 3 never really scared me but... Thief 3? Wow. That's a tense game to start with, but the walking statues.... god dammit, I hate their voice. I was sneaking around, doing well for once, and one must have seen me from behind and it made that seriously scary roar thing then started on with it's "crush and kill and crush and kill and tear and kill and crush" and so on... very loud, headphones, 1am.... Gah. It hit me 2-3 times before I actually calmed down enough to chuck a flashbomb and get the hell outta there.

    Also, The Cradle is one of the scariest levels I have ever played. But I didn't actually scream out in that level because I went on a rampage and slaughtered all of the patients so they couldn't get me. Once they're all dead it's a fairly boring level.

    Ohohohoh. He asks if it gets worse. Bwahaha.

    Hell wasn't as scary as it was overly cool.

    EDIT: Actually IMO the whole game wasn't scream-out scary but it did get creepy every so often.

    Wuss. D3 hasn't been scary at all, and I'm already in the hell levels...

    Screw you guys. I was tramatized as a child and I'm scared to death by jump fright. Played the scariest game of hide and go seek and having a brother that tries to scare you ever five seconds by jumping out and screaming BLKAHFAOIHOFHAOHOIH doesnt help. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I'm going to buy the game. No doubt. But I'll die.

    When I let one of my friends play D3 he got so frightened by an imp jumping at his face he fell shrieking out of my comp chair. Literally shrieking, like a wee little girlie girl. I really wish I had it on tape.

    He swore to never play the game again. I laughed.

    I played Doom 3. Headphones. In the dark. At 3 AM.

    Beat the whole thing in 2 sittings. Seriously, what's the big deal? Yeah, it was a little tense at parts, but not WTH scary like everyone's saying.
  • CondizzleCondizzle Join Date: 2004-10-05 Member: 32107Members
    The bloody footprints is easily one of the best parts of the game.

    I found Ravenholm to be scarrier.

    Damn those freaking jumping spider zombies of fast OMGWTHSCREAM scaryness.

    Big deal? Friggen big deal is the jump fright. That bastard imp creeping around the floor under me in the dim red light while there is a hidiously disfigured man hobbling towards me? I find it scarey.

    edit: Ravenholm was scary.. but not scary as DOOM3 for me so far. No lighting with jump fright and flood seriously gets me.

    Probrably didn't help that I played Ravenholm for the first time while home alone in a large house at 2 am and all the lights out, save for a few candles.

    I played Doom3 in broad daylight with everyone home and windows open and Funshine Sun shining in.

    To me Ravenholm pwned Doom 3s face off.
  • BulletHeadBulletHead Join Date: 2004-07-22 Member: 30049Members
    This happened to me once in Ravenholm in HL2... full settings, graphics maxed. midnight, in the basement, no lights, and low gamma ( so I get that nice, dark, creepy feeling)

    Suddenly, I hear these HOWLS and those damned fast zombies LAUNCH themselves at my out of NOWHERE!~

    I FELL OUT OF MY DAMN CHAIR!!! XD

    Then I got up and blewm em to hell with a shotgun <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Hell yeah, right after you get the shotgun, and your waiting for the elevator to make it way up the building, if you close the door, the fast zombies crash through the glass windows instead.

    That really scared me the first time i played it, i closed the door and was like, "Well, they cant get me now!" and turn around to get some health...

    ...i was dead wrong.

    i didnt find Doom 3 to be that scary. it made me jump every once in a while. i mostly thought it was annoying how things would come out of the damn walls behind you and start attacking. especailly when it did this over and over... <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Same. Exactly same. Freakily same.
  • Mad_ManMad_Man Join Date: 2003-06-13 Member: 17359Members, Constellation
    The only thing that freaked me out with doom3 was when you head the voices. It just sent shivers down my spine hearing a voice then watching the walls glow. Other then that I found the scare factor pretty repitive and thus not scarry =/

    QFT. SS2 is the only game that ever cause me to actually lose my nerve and stop playing (at the Rickenbacker's escape pod). Doom 3, meh. Nice graphics, but it didn't scare me at all. Not even a little. I guess it's not scary when you're running at a framerate that actually lets you nail the demons? In any case, nothing can scare me when there's that much shotgun ammo lying around.

    Try to play Resurection Of Evil, that will scare you just because the difficulty of it.

    Ah, Ressurection of Evil... wasn't that hard, not once you get the double barrel AWP. The gameplay was far superior to Doom 3's, if you took the time to learn the proper use of the evil heart thingy. Slow-mo+quad damage+invulnerabilty = punching Hellknights to death.
