VERY FUCKING WRONG.

I swear, I have never been scared so much in my entire life. Like, Aliens vs. Predator did nothing to me. I can walk down a dark alleyway at 2am and feel confident as anything.

This game is just... It's a cross between Doom 2, Resident Evil, and the actual eighth fucking sphere of Hell.

...It doesn't help that this one guy here lit off a firecracker under the door.
(Sparks start flying from under the door.)
Uhh... What's that?
(Shrieking of the firecracker.)
(Me, hyperventilating and shaking.)

But anyway.
Anyone else scared shitless from this game?

It's quite simple, actually. It's a scary game...this one excels in it, obviously.

See and I used to make DOOM and DOOM II WADs in my spare time.

Any game can cause someone to jump out of their seat. Hell, when you're turning around a corner and don't expect a loud sound or a scary monster to jump out in front of you... Tell me you wouldn't just shrug.

Eh...some people are easier to scare than others and likewise aren't as attuned to having that much violence thrown in their face often (aka today's way of warping our minds).

I kinda find it cute though. I don't know why. But it's just cute.

Sounds like the type of scary game I'm looking for. Except I got to rent it for the Xbox though.

I haven't played doom 3 but AvP used to scare the shit out of me, especially when you walk in a dark room totally on the edge after monsters and you hear this squeeschy sound all the time, getting louder and closer as more time passes and suddenly, BOOOOOM, you have a facehugger on you and you die instantly. Now that is pee-in-the-pants worthy.

Yeah it does scare me. :O The great graphics make it feel way more realistic and then when all of the sudden some zombie is right behind you when you turn around or some othe rmonsters comes running at you at high speed, you'll get scared.

What quality level do you guys run it at? For me it's 1024*768 and Ultra Quality with Shaodws enabled. And I get an average 60 fps with that.

Silent Hill is the only game that scares me a bit.
I still don't see how Doom can scare someone. It's like, NO EXISTENT ALIENS.

It's way too predicable to be scary if you ask me ... especially throughout the beginning of the game, I was almost unconciously running around and shooting monsters that would probably have *popped out of the corner*.

That whole appeal of a "scary game" just doesn't really appeal too me, if you want to play something scary why not play Fatal Frame?

Don't get me wrong though, Doom 3 is an incredibly awesome game, great gameplay, and has insane graphics. I bought it for that, not to "be scared".

I haven't played Doom 3 but neither Doom1 nor 2 scared me. I think the more mysterious the enemies and gameplay, the more on edge it puts me. The last "scary" game I can remember playing was a patch of Marathon Infinity called Marathon EVIL. It had some pretty nasty enemies at times and usually in dark and close quarters. They'd have rooms where enemies could hide around many different walls and gang up on you. (and tear you to bits if you weren't careful) Very nerve racking but nothing that would make me shit my pants.

Well, saying Doom 1 or Doom 2 didn't scare you isn't saying much, I played those games when I was like 5.

Plus, there's a huge difference in looks from Doom to Doom 3. lol

I get scared very very easily. I plan on getting Doom3 despite this, it just looks too awesome. The thing that makes me hesitant is my ho-hum system specs. I mean they're not bad, but... you tell me, please! Basic stuff: 1.7 p4, 128mb Radeon9200, 1gig SDR pc133 ram, equivilent to about 512 DDR, 80gb HD, and yeah. I hope I hope I hope! =(
And Coby, thats one kickass machine!

Most of the things that you get scared of in Doom 3 is the enemies that jumps down from the roof or jumps in front of you from a corner...
