Desensitized Horror Game Fans

Haha yeah. I just yelp when I get surprised. I laugh at people who cover their eyes when something scary is about to happen. Especially when it's from a game or a movie. I'm like, why are you playing/watching if you're just gonna cover?

>>14

Haha exactly, such a waste of all the effort the creator put into making something scary. But what's funny to me is that the people around me are a bunch of scaredy-cats about things that aren't scary.

>>15

Uhuh. Like why is a "ghost" on the screen scary? It's just on the screen and you've seen hundreds of ghosts on the screen in your lifetime.

>>16

Or any kind of "scary" thing, for that matter. Zombies, monsters, ghosts, paranormal crap. These things do nothing for/to me. I wonder what COULD be scary anymore.

>>17

Well, religion-related paranormal things are creepy, but that's as far as it goes. Just creepy. Not scary.

>>18

I miss the days when I used to get nightmares or can't sleep, because of how scared I was.

>>19

Yeah, that doesn't happen anymore. My nightmares are usually about real-life drama. I just wake up crying. Not scary at all.

>>20

OMG me too. Apparently, I talk in my sleep. The people that listen to me gets creeped out, but when I wake I tell them it was a nightmare about dealing with drama. It's pretty lame.

So maybe drama scares you? If you classify those "drama" dreams nightmares, then maybe that's scary?

>>22

No. I call them nightmares because they're not nice dreams. But not necessarily scary. But I wouldn't mind playing a drama-filled horror game. Maybe the drama element could make the "scary" things scary.

>>23

Well, they DO try to add drama to these horror games, but the acting and the animation falls short. I mean look at Death Stranding. As good as it looks, The Uncanny Valley still makes it hard to fully suspend your disbelief.

THIS was scary in the 90s

I raise with this:

>>26

OHHHHHHHH yeah. I didn't have my own computer yet, but my step-sister let me watch her as she played this and THIS gave me NIGHTMARES.

>>27

There is another game similar to that, that had slightly better graphics. The main character was female and she had to pick up hidden things from the environment to use them against the crazed people trying to kill her.
