Desensitized Horror Game Fans

>>28

It's not Phantasmagoria? That seems exactly like what you described.

>>29

No, it's something else. I played the game before I played Phantasmagoria. I wish I knew the title of it. I want to play it again, because it gave me nightmares too.

So, are we desensitized, because we played these games back then, or new games just not that scary anymore?

>>31

It's probably a double-whammy. I think we, old kids, have been desensitized AND new games aren't scary anymore. I guess these new games really ARE made for younger minds, that haven't experienced much to be jaded.

>>32

True. Maybe they should be more specific with their ratings, or have a separate rating for "scare-level" or something. 1: For players scared of everything, to 5: For players scared of nothing.

>>33

Then it would be up to us to choose the horror games with the 5 rating.

>>34

WE WILL ACCEPT NOTHING BELOW 5!

>>35

Damn right. But how will they scare us if we're scared of nothing. They have to make some REALLY SCARY SHT to scare us. If that's the case, why weren't THEY scared when they made it?

>>36

Maybe they were and they all died in the making of the game. Died from fright.

>>37

Geez. That's only a LITTLE dark. Good enough I guess. At least they died doing what they loved?

>>38

WOAH THAT'S DARK and TOO SOON!

>>39

Haha. No really. If they sacrificed their lives to create a level-5 scary game, then wouldn't they consider it a success if they died, BECAUSE they were scared by their own game?

>>40

Yes, and I think we all wish this were real (not necessarily the dying part), but a level-5 scary game. This is a big tease.

>>41

What if dying is PART OF THE GAME?! What if they knew what they were messing with when they made it, and set things up so the game would complete itself and get published, even AFTER they've died?

>>42

You mean, a cursed game, where you die when you play it? It's like Jumanji meets the Ring.
