From hiding your DS from your mom while playing Pokemon to the Xenomorph in Alien: Isolation.
We’ve all been scared by a video game before. Whether it was watching PewDiePie play Amnesia: The Dark Descent, or running Slender Man around your friend’s house, there are plenty of awesome moments in video games. Reddit players came together to discuss which moments stuck with them the longest.
The person who asked the question responded with, “that giant trenchcoat wearing motherfucker silently marching towards you in Resident Evil 2 gave me anxiety that made my current life anxiety seem adorable in comparison.” Resident Evil games would be awesome.
One person wrote that hearing the footsteps of the Xenomorph in Alien: Isolation as he chased them sent shivers down their spine. Understandably, as if that beast caught it meant instant death.
Babies are pretty creepy, especially if you can hear one laughing even though you know you don’t have a child. So, it’s no surprise that someone chose the great basement baby chase in Resident Evil Village as their answer.
Sometimes, glitches can cause unintended horror. “Some undead Redguard in TESO who pulled The Ring from the far end of a longhouse. I play in first person. I almost fell back in my chair, he was in my face so fast, and in the creepiest way possible. “
Some players got a bit meta with it. “You die in an rpg and forget when the last time you saved was. That’s scary shit.” They’re not wrong, that’s why you always save your Pokemon game in the middle of a Pokemon Center twice before turning off your Game Boy.
Continuing the Pokemon meta and theme was this answer that most of us naughty kids can relate to. “The moment when you’re going to be caught by your mother at 1 am ‘because you’re going to beat the League Master in Pokemon and you have about 0,0003 s to hide your Nintendo DS under your blanket, without doing the -accidentally rotating error. the sound on…”
