Dummer318 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) I'm about to start this game but I've been warned by several people that it is very scary. Now, I'm not one to get scared easily but I typically get most of my gaming in at night. So I was wondering if maybe I should play it during the day or if the scary aspect is just hype.

dz06lt Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 its only scary to the point of how it scares you with cheap jumps. The games are excellent and well worth a play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phodda Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 No. Play it at night, and then you'll really know what's scary. It's like Silent Hill, but in space, and with DNA-Like monsters instead of nightmares... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry94_ Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 If you've nevwr played dead space before then you may crap your pants in the first few chapters. But it soon wears off and just becomes a normal game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornagandarub Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 It's not really scary like Silent Hill or Amnesia, but as others have said more just because it's filled with jump scares. Sure it has a creepy setting, but once you get further into the game it gets much less scary for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe111eleven111 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I still think the first half of the game is scary and I'm working on the third playthrough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 If you've nevwr played dead space before then you may crap your pants in the first few chapters. But it soon wears off and just becomes a normal game. This^ Once you've finished the game, it's no longer that scary so enjoy the scares whilst you can .

LukeyCow Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Ive got it as a friend from the UK left it so i have it until mid June. I hear this game is kinda easy but the fact that its scary seems to make it lOok a lot harder and i keep backing down from starting it. Can anyone tell me a game that has around the same difficulty level as this that id probably know? It would comfort me knowing that the scare doesnt add any difficulty because im the kinda person who pisses himself at nothing. It feel a bit weird playing Dead Nation at night lol.

kfree7 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I must say it creeped me out a few times. Definitely some jumpy moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark_Phantom_89 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 As others have said, it's more jumpy than scary. I played it at night and had a good few jumps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-IRVINE-94 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 As others have said, it's more jumpy than scary. I played it at night and had a good few jumps. Haha I'm playing DS2 the now and it's like that playing it at night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carter_83 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Not scary at all. Just a few jumpy spots but most you see coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiman Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I got scared all along when the first playthrough, and slept with dreaming of nightmare. But the second playthrough of impossible difficulty, 8 months after the first play through, I find it not so scary. Maybe what you need is just to get used to it.

Merdoxs12 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 This game scary? If your a scifi/horror junkie like me... this game was the Single Most Greatest Video Game Tribute to the scifi/horror genre. Truly an experiance the first time. After that (if you grow to like the game) the second playtrough is just enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viewtiful Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 (edited) It's not remotely scary after the first hour or so. The same two or three 'jump scares' - a monster dropping down from the ceiling, popping out from a vent or pretending to be dead - are used over and over again with no variation, with the impact lessening every time; ultimately the game just throws monsters at you constantly to overly dramatic music. There's no subtlety or pacing involved, just action, gore and melodrama. Not that it isn't a really fun game, but it's a straight-up action game, not horror.

Xx_Progenitor_xX Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 It's not scary at all. It only makes you jump because of sudden loud parts where something jumps out of a closet or something for the 100 hyperbollillionth time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpUrPIE Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 The game is filled with jump scares but its more psychological terror then physical terror Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessieftw Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I've heard that it's freaky as heck, but I've not yet had the chance to play. I can't wait until I get it, I love horror games! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tensei Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 i did not find this game as scary as i thought it would be, after chapter 3-4 the game became much less scary, it was of course a little scary at times after those chapters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIMTheEND Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 All depends on your personality. If you play by yourself at night and get way into games, like there is no world but the game your playing, then you'll be anxious through nearly the whole game and jump almost every time something comes at you. "Scary" is a hard term to describe in video games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caturday Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 All depends on your personality. If you play by yourself at night and get way into games, like there is no world but the game your playing, then you'll be anxious through nearly the whole game and jump almost every time something comes at you. "Scary" is a hard term to describe in video games. Oh, yes. And it might also depend on difficulty. When I tried to play on hard from scratch, it was really scary because of scarce ammo and monsters' strength. I played it like a survivor horror and I was really horrified at times. Also Isaac is silent, so you can just put yourself in his gravity boots. But when I got my ass torn apart again and again in Chapter 2, I said "Muck it, me gonna play on easy and use them DLCs on impossible! And them cheats aplenty!" - since then it was a breezing shooter Although the regenerating dude still gives me the creeps, a great piece of monster design... DS2 on normal was not really scary for me, just a couple of cheap jumps. Let's see what the hardcore mode has to offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thibby Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I admit I was a lot less scared than I expected to be. I think it seems way scarier if you haven't actually played it. Then again, my brother and his friend seem to crap their pants when playing it. I don't get it! And I can't do horror movies very well...I'm a wuss lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
