Games that make you jump

<div class="IPBDescription">And need new underwear after!</div>Are there any games you've played where you have jumped so much your butt moved of the surface you were sitting from?

Mine would have to be Resident Evil for GC, I ran past a window and even when I knew that a zombie was gonna smash through it I still jumped, (the atmosphere is very good! My friend jumped real high when a dog came on from off screen and started mauling his arm!)

    I'd defenitely have to say Undying (Me wanna sequel now&#33<!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->, which had me in such a state for pretty much the whole game.

    The other game that managed to really scare me is NS.
    It's just mind numbing if you see four of those blue motiontracking icons close in to your position from all sides and you slowly realize that a) there's nowhere to run, b) you're out of ammo, and c) you're alone.

    System Shock 2. Only game that's ever made me do so... I just went into a room, examined a corpse, checked out a few crates, then turned around to find about six hybrids practically touching me.

    I actually had difficulty playing that game for more than half an hour at a time (because my hands were shaking).

    <shrugs>

    Despite this I couldn't stop playing it...

    Half-Life. Damn you headcrabs!

    NS. Damn you Flayraskulk!

    Undying, System shock 2, and Quake 1. Play through the whole game and you'll understand what I mean.

    HL, for the headcrabs.  Also, for the sense of impending DOOM (no, not the playtester) when you replay it... you get to a section you remember and you say "Ohhhh CRAP.  I remember this part."

    Other *excellent* headcrab use appears in such SP mods as USS Darkstar (weak storyline with a COP OUT ending, but headcrab use is perfection).

    NS, for Skulk ambushes.

    Silent Hill - not so much jump, as not want to sleep with the lights off EVER AGAIN.

    Morrowind actually gets me pretty edgy, too... mostly because I'm a level 3 Acrobat with virtually no combat skills (I also choose not to wear armor).  I avoid combat as much as possible, and walking through the wilderness is very unsettling.

    I've heard a lot of good things about undying...

    /me thinks he'll have to get that.

    Half-Life scared me poopless the first time I played

    AvP2 scares the crap out of me in the marines missions

    I jump all the time playing counter-strike, just because someone will suprise me... not really "scary" though

    Eternal Darkness... the first time I heard the "sanity effect" where it sounds like someone's pounding on a door VERY LOUDLY.... man, I jumped so high out of my seat.

    edit: oh yeah, and resident evil for GC too! the first time I was outside of the house, I heard some bushes rustle and thought it was just an environmental sound... then some undead dog came out of nowhere and started attacking me, freaked me out pretty good.

    Undying and AVP2 as a human...in a dark room.....with nothing happening OMG ITS AHHHH
  • ZcaliberZcaliber Join Date: 2002-01-26 Member: 93Members
    Undying, holy crap.

    Just playing the demo creeped the shnizzle outta me. I never bought the game because i knew i'd never finish it because of the flatlining moments.

    ClockTower, I dunno. I found the game to be pretty tense, and quite scary when Scissor man hops out from behind something and al of a sudden your cursor is flashing red. o.0

    They hunger, I remember one point in the game where I stopped playing it because I was too scared to go on. That giant bullsquid is freaky too. o.0 And those lumbering Frankenstine things! Gah! I scare myself! >.<

    System Shock 2... now THERE was a cool game. Especially in Multi-player mode... *In weird electronic voice* We won't hurt you so badly. @_@

    Submit to the Biomass, and your suffering will end.

    That's aboot it methinks. My first time through Half-life and op Force was pretty "AAAAGH!" as well. ^^

    System Shock 2, Clock Tower, the original Resident Evil, and Silent Hill are all games that scared me.
  • BLACK_MonkeyBLACK_Monkey Join Date: 2002-08-03 Member: 1060Members
    Nightmare Creatures, Blood 2: The Chosen, and House of the Dead 2, were the ones that scared me the most.
  • DunsbyDunsby Join Date: 2002-08-01 Member: 1042Awaiting Authorization
    House of the dead 2? Omg lol the only scary thing is when you think your gonna lose and your well far.
  • SpudSpud Join Date: 2002-10-03 Member: 1415Members
    Games that have scared me...hrmmm.  Undying, definitely.  Resident Evil for Gamecube definitely.  Eternal Darkness didn't really make me jump, but I couldn't sleep for a few nights due to the fact that I was scared poopless from the idea of it.  That game messes with your mind...you're walking down some hallway, and the walls are starting to bleed, and you hear this constant banging, moaning, and the story is just...ugh.  Needless to say, I lent that game to a friend.

    I agree and its really a shame that the chances of there being another Undying game are about the same as me waking up one morning to find Milla Jovovich in my bed.

    Which leads me nicely on to Resident Evil ... I can't believe anyone ever found these games scary in the slightest, I mean zombies, frightening? I think not. Resident Evil games are always so predictable the only time I get scared is when something I didn't anticapte happens.

    And thats happened <b>once</b> in the four Resident Evil games I've played.

    System Shock 2 on the other hand ... those robot midwives

    <b>*shudders*</b>
  • BillBill Join Date: 2002-08-08 Member: 1108Members
    Oh yeah, zombies scary? Pffft

    But <b>ROBOTS</b>, let's not even go there.

    [insert eye rolling emoticon here]

    P.s. waking up next to Milla Jovovich, now that WOULD be scary.  
    <b>*shudder*</b>

    hey, screw you, milla is hot <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->


    anyways, games that have freaked me out:

    -Halflife (you all know and love 'em, Headcrabs&#33<!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->,
    - Doom (those parts where you know that there's guys somewhere near you, but it's such an old game and the sound's so terrible you can't tell where they are),
    - AvP1 (god damn wall-crawlers...),
    - Freespace 2 (when you're on the special ops mission and you go in to destroy the comm nodes, but there's a shivan Sathanas dreadnought right in fron of you when you warp in)
    - Heavy Metal FAKK2 (lord tyler scares the crap out of me...)

    oh, and how can i forget:
    - X-com UFO Enemy Unknown (frigging night missions, doesn't matter who you're fighting, they got the atmosphere perfectly on that one...)

    hmm... that's about it i guess...
  • ScytheScythe Join Date: 2002-01-25 Member: 46NS1 Playtester, Forum Moderators, Constellation, Reinforced - Silver
    Hmm, I'm sure this has come up about three times at least.

    Half-Life
    AvP2 Marine Campaign
    Max Payne (The V-trips)

    I have <b>got</b> to play Doom III, that movie scared the begeesus outta me.

    Jeez, the far more scariest thing i played was the first or 2nd mission of avp2 <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->.
    To enter the compound on the first level, it took me 10 mins to get enough courage <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->, when the ceiling blowed away and blocked the way i was like.... Jeez why me?!?!?!
    Then, when you enter the hangar thingie, i was with night vision comin back from powerin up the facility when a pipe broke and completely blinded me, and i just shoot all the clip away and screamed like a girl hahahaha that was the most scariest thing that ever happened to me.... everythin was so quiet, and then bam sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee and everything was white, and i was screaming and shooting hahaha <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->. I wish i had videotaped that....
    Thos fckin headcrabs are really scary when u play hl for the first time..... Now i get the crowbar and i just play with the poor little fellas.....

    Sure, if you like girls with absolutely no shape, no body, paper thin and hooked noses.  They just don't make girls like they used too.  <!--emo&???--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'><!--endemo-->   But then we're living in a time when girls have actually started pro-anorexia communities.  Anyways, I'm getting totally off topic so I'll stop.  <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

    Bill....how dare you!  Milla Jovovich is teh seksay.
  • BillBill Join Date: 2002-08-08 Member: 1108Members
    What is sexy about her? Seriously?
  • GazaarGazaar Join Date: 2002-03-31 Member: 366Banned
    Well, she is very pretty, here eyes are amazing, she has very nice legs, she isn't freakishly busty, anything you can add here coil?
  • BillBill Join Date: 2002-08-08 Member: 1108Members
    "She isn't freakishly busty" is putting it mildy, if she were any smaller her chest would probably be sunk in.

    *shrug* I guess we all have our tastes, I just don't dig the heroin look.
  • HaZyHaZy Join Date: 2002-07-31 Member: 1033Members
    without a doubt it'd have to be system shock 2. that game just OOZES atmosphere. i remember playing on the recreation level all alone at about 3am. i can tell ya now that i was watching my back for any psycho droids or crowbar packing zombies every step of the way. another memorable moment for anyone who has ever played ss2 would be the cargo bays:

    "did i just hear a monkey?"

    "where the hell is that sound coming from?"

    "they're all around me!"

    "AIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

    another game that gave me alot of jumps would be silent hill. walking through that school and hospital all alone in the dark in the early hours of the morning...i was just asking for trouble.  <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->

    System Shock 2.  That game scared me half to death.  I'd love to see an SS3.

    The original AvP made me jump quite a few times in the Marine missions.  It was the facehuggers to blame for that.  That little skittering noise just set me on edge.

    Some may laugh at this, but Doom had me looking behind me when I first played it.  And there was this one encounter with a Baron of Hell that almost sent me through the roof.  You just don't expect that kind of thing when you open a door.
  • BillBill Join Date: 2002-08-08 Member: 1108Members
    Something to laugh at even more-- Castle Wolfenstein for the SNES.  Seriously.  When you got to the first boss, the gigantic angry Nazi would start chanting in his digitized voice "I'm comin for ya" over and over again, there are a bunch of doors and you can't see exactly where he's "comin for ya" at, but regardless you know he isn't lying becuase his voice keeps getting louder and louder.  Needless to say, it was quite the unnerving expierence for my 11 year old self.  Although, my brother and I still laugh at that line to this day.
