Why are you pussies even scared to play horror games? They're

did u try that shit in vr tho

If you're going in at the outset to not even pretend to be immersed in the experience, what is the point?

>It's literally just some pixels moving around on a screen. I think you all forget this.
people like you seem to lack the skill of "immersion".

Then again, you use shit like RE7 as an example of ""horror"" "games".

>>376048559
I didn't, but that's a valid argument. At least that brings the game to a new level of realism.

It's difficult to get immersed in games that have settings that are far from ours. I think that's why Silent Hill 2 worked so well in it's out of hell world sections because it looked like our world, but a little off. Whereas in a game like Dead Space, its setting is a space station with crazy monsters. Far from realistic.

I feel that if your game is uncanny and close to real life it is a successful horror game because it's believable.

Because 9 times out of 10 horror games have shit gameplay that either consists of running away from everything (with shit movement controls) or shit combat designed to be bad because otherwise you're too powerful to be scared.

Wait, are you talking about being scared or why people don't play them?

>Silent Hill 2
That game's the LEAST spooky of the original quadrilogy.

I also greatly question your adaptation skills if something as culturally common fictional setting as futuristic space ships with monsters is "hard to relate to". I found System Shock 2 very creepy at best, no matter that I played it just recently for the first time.

Other than that, I do agree. Atmospheric horror with disturbing imagery is way more effective and impressive form of horror than a scripted series of jumpscares.

I feel like "bad" movement controls and sometimes translate to good horror gameplay. For instance Silent Hill and the original Resident Evil. Having the loose control over your character can make maneuvering around a monster more terrifying and anxiety inducing. I don't even think tank controls are that bad. I like it if it's done correctly and in the right context.

And I'm talking about people being scared.

>projecting this hard after you finally managed to play one yourself

not worth the money and time desu fampai

I can watch scary movies just fine, literally never been scared by one. But horror games (at least first person ones) is something I can't do. I just can't.

>>376049963
Well that's scary because it's left up to your imagination to what could be there.
