Scariest Game you Played this Year

[bob48]

WWI 28mm game,big Mark farted and he had a vindaloo the night before, WWI effect - perfect mustard gas attack

ROFL. You can take realism a bit too far. Must have added a lot to the 'atmosphere' of the game though.

You guys and your tales of Alien are making my evening.

It doesn't help that my mother introduced me to Alien when I was only 9, and she made me watch it when I essentially knew nothing about it and had to see it at night with the lights off. 

I took my mom to see Alien on the big screen when it came out in 1979. Neither of us had any idea of what to expect. I remember the chest-burster scene well....it's the exact moment I was written out of her will  8)

Seriously, one of my all-time top ten movies ever. Really, top three or four even.

[Gusington]

Both Alien and Aliens are in my top ten, right behind The Exorcist and The Shining. And I don't care what you people say I still enjoy Alien 3.

I didn't get to see Alien until I was in middle school. I still remember very clearly the morning after my mom and dad went to see it in 1979. She was NOT happy, lol. And it gave my little juvenile brain nightmare fuel for years.

Four outta five ain't bad!   8)

Alien 3 is not in my top ten. But I still enjoy it.

Alien 3 is not in my top ten. But I still enjoy it.

It's an unfairly maligned film. 

It had a great director, but the saga of how that script was obliterated by so many cooks spoiling the broth is epic Hollywood disaster.   

[Gusington]

I know, I know...*sigh*

But as I always say when Alien 3 comes up..."It had Roc in it. How bad could it be?'

[BanzaiCat]

Bad.

It was between a Roc and a hard place from the beginning.

[Sir Slash]

Ohhh. Alien tales. I thought somebody said Alien tail. Sorry. Wrong thread.

[Huw the Poo]

I actually had a nightmare about Alien just a couple of years ago and I still remember it vividly.  I was in some kind of large building and I just wanted to find the way out, but I knew there was at least one alien skulking around and I had no way of defending myself.  Of course, while I was dreaming it was absolutely real to me, so I don't think I've ever been so terrified.  I was very grateful to wake up!

[Gusington]

Maybe you were actually playing the game and fell asleep?

Anyway fellers, any thoughts on Dying Light?

So...scariest PC/console game you played this year?

Easy to answer and not just restricted to "played this year" but in general - ZombiU. This year bc I bought a Wii U this year ;)

The atmosphere is thick like some claggy blood from a rotten corpse's wound...the Zombies are a real threat here, one Zombie can kill you and is very hard to kill, 2 Zombies mean desaster if your not concentrated, three Zombies and you better run... ammo is scarce, so every bullet counts, melee combat is Adrenalin pumping, perma death and a sort of Dark Souls feature of getting back your things is a brilliant design choice, great gameplay with the tablet making it a unique experience in single player and couch multiplayer alike - hands down the best and scariest Zombie game ever.

Anyway fellers, any thoughts on Dying Light?

It's $59.99 on Steam, but has a 92% approval rating. Personally there's no way I'm spending sixty bucks on another zombie game.

Steam has a free demo of the game if you want to check it out.
