Ceptik Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 I know this game has been discussed over recent topics but i was just curious as to who's actually playing it from time to time? Im on the 3rd level i think and have just had to come off of it again after 10 mins. I set myself a challenge and played it in the dark with surround sound. NOT a good idea! Such a good game but it is FAR too scary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 is this game REALLY that scary? what sort of scare league are we talking here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelfill Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 It is very **ahem** atmospheric. done the whole surround sound in the dark thing, it's a little disturbing, especially when the girl is giggling in the background walking behind you.

Ceptik Posted November 28, 2005 Author Share Posted November 28, 2005 is this game REALLY that scary? what sort of scare league are we talking here? It is rated an 18 and if you've ever seen The Ring its horror twist is kinda based around the girl from that. Not a pretty sight i tell you! It is very **ahem** atmospheric. done the whole surround sound in the dark thing, it's a little disturbing, especially when the girl is giggling in the background walking behind you. Mike Indeed. Just went to climb down a ladder. I grabbed it, turned around and poistioned myself on the top rung, looked back up to where i was and saw her standing there looking at me!! That was enough for me. Saved and quit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelfill Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 I know the bit you're at there Ceptik, that particular section got me twice !! the first time was in the demo, the second time I'd forgotten about it. The girlfriend was in stitches when she saw me hit the ceiling. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 You bunch of girls. The scariest thing about fear is that the levels are actually way too linear to have any place in a modern game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptik Posted November 28, 2005 Author Share Posted November 28, 2005 I will openly admit im scared of this game. Never before have i been afraid of something thats on a screen but this is different. It just hits all my soft spots at the same bloody time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Scariest game ever is System Shock 2. Anyone who says different is wrong. Those scary test-lab monkeys and the zombies calling out "we are the new flesh" just as the lights fail and you have two rounds of ammo left. Never before have I wished that there was an option of putting the gun to my in-game head and ending it before they got to me. Brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soonto_HAS_soop Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 I know the bit with the ladder, that scared the shite out of me, I really hate it when it's gone all quiet and then she laughs, you turn round and catch a glimpse of her running across in front of you, or she stood behind a window staring at you. Another bit that got me, was when you walk towards a lift in a large officed area that is covered in blood, and she appears on the balcony above you. I can't believe a computer game can scare me this much..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DamanC Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 LOL! Excellent game imo. yes its linear and bland in some places the rest of it makes up for that, will scoop many awards and will probabaly get the game of the year. if you have a half decent pc get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shovels Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 yeh I know the bit you mean. There's no way I'll play it in the dark (unless the sound is off) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian C Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 It's was OK, unbelievably linear and all very small and close-in. But it had it's fun moments with the slomo and stuff. You get used to the scary stuff eventually, except right at the end it then goes off the clock and shits you up again Hardly Half Life 2 for gameplay though. System Shock 2 - play it through from start to end in one sitting in co-op mode with a mate It's *still* good. And the scariest thing in that was the robot midwife *shudder* "you're misssingggg alll the funnnnnn" (whirrclankwhirrclankwhirrclankwhirrclank) -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Just been playing FEAR this weekend (not idea how far in I am, 1 after HOT LZ).... It's fab, haven't enjoyed a game this much in ages, totally addicted I fully admit to being a rubbish gamer, so the fact I can seemingly do well in it is great (Moderate difficulty)...I'm playing it like i do SWAT4....Gung ho lol. Only jumped once...small tunnel crouched down...was going forwards when she appeared and came at me...so I shot her Lots of wierdness but compelling gaming, though no doubt it's not hard enough for uber gamers. Slow-mo mode is good fun....as is nailing the fookers to the wall My best shot so far pinned a guy to the top of the wall by his throat And there he still hangs 3ft up We could have a competition to see who can pin a bad guy up the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptik Posted December 12, 2005 Author Share Posted December 12, 2005 Nice one @ the pinning guy to the wall. I love that weapon! I've taken a break from it until i have the balls to play it again. Its too dark, too quiet and too 'somethings gonna happen any minute now' at the moment for my liking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
