has a video game ever gotten you with a proper jumpscare?

The one in bioshock where you turn around and there's a guy standing right in front of you

>>378785780
FEAR double jump scare.

>>378785780
Shooting into the lake in RE4

>>378786548
That shit made me laugh.

In crysis, if you swim far enough out, a great white comes. Shit made me afraid of going into the water at any point the rest of the game.

>>378786548
Yeah because why would you do that? I mean the lake dude was just minding his own business, being spooky n shit swimming in a moody water waiting for the scripted cutscene.

>>378786926
I saw fish in the water and wondered if I could kill them.
Which is exactly what was intended, I imagine.

The part where you go on a conveyor belt in RE5 and a corpse grabs your leg if you walk close to it. It's not a particularly scary environment or anything, but it just got me because I absolutely wasn't expecting for it. The worst jumpscare is the one you wouldn't expect at all.

>>378785780
Dead Space Elevator scream got me. Arguably the best, most effective way to do jumpscares. Only happens once in the game, and it's about midway through once you've lowered your guard in a perceived "safe" area.

>>378785780
The ladder in FEAR

Literally toppled my couch over backwards

>>378785780

>>378785780
Dead Space 2.

There's a part in the game where you're lurking through a bunch of bedrooms and an alarm clock just goes off.

The sound effect is almost exactly the same as my IRL alarm clock I panic-jumped out of my chair to try and turn it off before realising it was coming from my computer.

>>378788138

>>378788196
That actually didn't do anything for me, that alarm though, I was so confused, not only was it coming from the wrong place, the volume was wrong too.

>>378788196

STALKER made me jump countless times, but that was more from random instant kills from a shotgun as I look round a corner.

The guy behind that mirror glass in Prey recently gave me a shock, it's the only part that's close to being scary.

what is a "proper" jumpscare?

>>378789219
Jesus Christ, this got me bad. I was wearing headphones too. It's not even the only jumpscare in the game, there are two others that got me bad and one that was just lame.

While the Half Life series wasn't a horror-focused game. It had some excellent jumpscares

This is mainly because they aren't intentional jumpscares. There's no set time for a jumpscare to occur and it's not cinematic either.

This is because the game is through YOUR POV, not the character's. So something that isn't in your field of view might sneak up on you and scare you. Or you could enter an area where you didnt know a creature was hiding or around a certain corner.

There's a pretty good one in Singularity. You can interact with various objects in the environment over the course of the game, and eventually you find a Polaroid camera, and if you interact with it, it prints out a picture of an enemy, and you turn around and there's an enemy behind you.

Uhhh, maybe back when it came out? Not now though.

Besides, after the 3rd room; you should be able to see it coming. That's why Dead Space 2 was such shit. You could spot everything a mile away. I'm not saying DS1 was above the bullshit. I'm just saying that one particular moment was a fantastic addition.

Pretty sure we could have an entire thread devoted to Stalkan' jumpscares

It's bad enough the game is unsettling and tense literally every minute you play already without peppering in heart attack inducing jumpscares

>>378792137
Yeah that's what I've found out, I won't be deleting it

The screamer in Dark Souls 3 got me, I didn't think they'd ever do anything like it

>>378791012
Time... Doctor Freeman...

>>378785780
Playing Minecraft like 6 years ago for the first time at 13, and a spider screeches as it drops down from the tree. Booked it to my house, didn't even turn around.

Other than that, if by jumpscare you mean 'startle' then countless times, if there's a loud noise when it's quiet, then of course I'm going to jump. If you want genuine fear though, play Subnautica. Shit will make you feel genuine fear like nothing else. Especially if you have a fear of deep water like me. I can barely play the game desu

>>378785780
The Arkham knight manbat grapple jumpscare was pretty brilliant. it's so random.

>>378786419

I was terrified. My eyes watered up and I had goosebumps. I don't know what came over me.

I think I was so focused on the antlions it was just the last thing I expected

The only time a video game has ever truly "gotten me" with a jumpscare was the bathtub scene in Eternal Darkness.

Those of you who have played it know what I'm talking about.

On a similar note,there was that bit in Arkham Knight where you control Gordon in a first person perspective, and after you look around the area for a bit you turn to see Batman not even a foot from you, staring. Found myself laughing thinking "So that's what that's like."

>>378795491
Goddamn AMK was good for fucking with new players.

>First AMK run

>what the shit is going on? Did the AI bug?
>go around corner
>fucking invisible Chimera uncloaks right in front of me, manages to kill me in a single swipe
>YOU HAVE DIED

And that's how I learned to trust the judgement of the AI in STALKER AMK. When they run, I'm following. When enemies with greater firepower than me run right by me without even trying to shoot me, I get the fuck out of there.

I think the worst I had gotten scared by a jump was when I heard about the ladder scare in FEAR. I never actually saw it before, just heard it, so I was tense around every ladder.
When it actually happened I braced too early and got caught off-guard instead.

>>378802959
>No one gets actually scared just by "muh psychological horror"
This. Muh psychological horror is good for building tension but you gotta cash it out somehow or it's pointless.
I feel like RE1/REmake was so enjoyable because it was a good mix of camp, spooky atmosphere, and actual shit happening that you had to deal with.

RE7 PSVR. When Mia jumpis in from the left early in the game, and later on when a four legged molded approaches silently from behind in the hallways after the pier. Damn near had a heart attack, and embarrassingly shouted out when it happened as the wife heard it. Never been scared by media since childhood before this.

This in Jak and Daxter 1. I think it also attributed to my fear of water irl as well as in games. Played half life 1 and hated that fucking fish, playing games like the forest where there is sea wildlife like sharks that you're defenseless against. Far Cry 3 helped a bit with letting me be able to fight back but I still hate the idea of being in a clear cold blue body of open water with a shark, even if I only have to swim to the next boat/island

I've never really gotten scared by games/movies. But they can certainly get tense and nerve wracking. Like the ending of Dead Space 2 to me was fucked on Hard Core mode. Getting chased down narrow corridors by fast invincible monsters while you're trying to find your way and wait for doors to open is scary in the intenseness to me.

Don't know if it's the actual atmosphere and game scaring me, or if it's the fear that I'll have to redo the whole section if I fuck up once though.

I think i remember jumping a bit while i was doing the haunted house level in Vampire: The Masquerade. Seeing the axe dude pop up here and there was spooked the shit out of me.

I honestly dislike long term uncomfortable scenarios though. For example if i get jump scared i'll be probably recover fast and get back to playing, but if i'm wandering around a place that's hard to see, tight space and there's no fucking sounds aside from my own steps and i see something move in at some point without making a single fucking sound or pops up in my face, then i'll probably have to avoid having a heart attack.

I don't really play games where jumpscares would be common, so the only one that comes to mind is the werewolf through the window in Bloodborne. Only really worked because the atmosphere of the area had me on edge to begin with.
