really kills the immersion

The word you're looking for is 'startled'. It has nothing to do with fear. Videogames startle you.

>play and watch to much horror that it has zero effects towards me.

P.T. > Dead Space > Silent Hill 2 > Alien: Isolation > everything else

prove me wrong

>>388418804
Because there's a difference between watching a retard go into a haunted house and being the retard going into a haunted house

>>388418979
He's factually correct. You get surprised and startled more than you feel genuine horror and dread in most games today.

>Love horror
>Pursue vidya and movies throughout early adolescene and teenage years
>Become desensitised
>Nothing's scary any more, at most jump scares make me twitch
I keep hearing how people can't finish games because they're too scared. I envy them honestly.

>>388419189
>dead space
ill admit its horror but you have to much power and control, its a great game but after the first couple of limbs all horror is lost

>>388419329
It's because developers just go for startling you rather than building up an atmosphere of dread or anxiety. It's easy to have some creepy thing attack the player out of nowhere and it rakes in those sick YouTube views.

hey guys, we talking about horror games?

>>388418689
darkwood is worth a shot, it has no jumpscares, just atmosphere. 70% of the time it's not scary, but then the 30% comes around and the music kicks in and omfg what am i hearing what are those footsteps where do i hide fuck


but yeah i'm too pussy for horror games with jumpscares, even shit like fnaf, scp, etc

>Thing jumps out loudly
>I'm momentarily startled
>Sense of disappointment washes over experience
It's cheap and not scary.

dead space can be scary to be fair but the other two are pretty inexscuable

>>388418689
literally me when I hear thunder or fireworks outside

>>388419363
I too feel envious of people who get scared by the tamest horror movies.

lol go back to bed

>>388418689
Honestly i think the only thing that scares me is when someone is walking in a dark place and you hear a young girl speak or sing, you don't even need anything else or jumpscares.

Horror games or movies just bore me most of the time, they just don't seem to work with me.
