Faust870 Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Dont laugh, but when I was younger I freaked out when I saw the zombies in Zelda ocarina of time. Oh I agree! It scared the hell out of me!!... like everything about it was just weird, the noise, camera angle... so I got used to keeping a clean pair of undies beside me whenever I was playing Ocarina of Time :ohmy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabbemaster Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I have to agree. Maximum gamma and using a guide to tell me where they all were in advance, then tossing flash grenades at them like a frenzied monkey was my way of getting through it. :P It wasn't so much the way they looked as the noises they made and the way they moved (and those lights flashing... eww). As you say, good physics. By far the most scary gaming experience I've had thus far (but I don't play horror titles). Did you use a guide? How sneaky! :ph34r: First, there was no zombies at all, no scary sounds, nothing! "Thank teh God!" I thought, and relaxed in my chair. The only scary thing so far was that bouncing on the other side of the attic-door... and that GIRL! "Ah well" i thought, "not TOO many scary effects anyway". After she gave me her mission, I started running towards the cellar, knowing that this zombie-free place was zombie-free. I ran down the stairs leading down from the attic, out in another room, down another stair, and... straight in to a zombie... Damn! I freaki'n jumped out of my pants! And that was not enough, the place was FULL of those dead bastards! And you couldn't even kill them with holy water as you could in other levels! "By far the most scary gaming experience I've had thus far"... Indeed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercbird Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 So thats where the zombies from Vampires Bloodlines got the brainsucking thing from! They were mostly just annoying though. The zombies in Thief Deadly Shadows really gave me a chill though... :ohmy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosewyrm Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 I would stay out of Ancestral Tombs to avoid the undead... And when I did the Puzzle Box quest for the first time, I was terrified that vampires were going to leap out and grab me. The Morvayn Manor was really the scariest place in the game (and sixth house bases *shudder* Those Ash beasts and Sleepers are freaky!) for me, total darkness, weird scrape-y, breathe-y sounds and then *SMACK!* I get clobbered by a corpus beast. I didn't like the Corprusarium either when I first encountered that. The corpus stalkers were okay, but then I came face to bloated, disease-ridden face with a lame corpus and I fled, with the scrape-scrape of it shuffling after me to make me flee even faster... Looking at all that, I realized just how easily I am creeped out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabbemaster Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 I just get pretty involved in the game and my imagination works overtime. Lucky you. I almost never get that feeling anymore... It was better when I was younger and 'realy' lived in the games when I played them. Wether it because the games are not as good today as they was before, or because I am starting to get immune... I don't know. I fear it is the later though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosewyrm Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I know what you mean. Sixth House strongholds scare me too and I hate the weird whispering in tombs. I just get pretty involved in the game and my imagination works overtime. Yes! I keep on imagining that those whispers are the voices of the dead, and I always feel watched when I'm in the tombs... As if the departed spirits are following me around, daring to me to desecrate the domb so that they cand set undead and Daedra on me. And I really HATED that particular tomb where the two corpses came alive if you touched that one chest. The mummies are the only dead things that don't really freak me out, their just bodies covered in gooey resin to preserve 'em, but the dead bodies are creepy with their blank, staring eyes... And the flies buzzing, I really don't like that because it makes me wonder just HOW decomposed are those corpses? As for these Sith House bases... I keeping thinking that after those Ash beasts have killed me, they'll cclaw an opening in my character's dead body and suck out the fluids with those trunk-mouth-proboscis-things and leave her a withered old bag of leathery skin and bones.

Keael Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 I gotta say, ghosts / spirits are more fightening and believable than zombies. Though if I had to fight one in a FPS, I would choose to fight a zombie, mainly because ghosts have no mass, therefore cannot be shot. You'd need a camera from fatal frame or something to kill a ghost. Zombies require just a quick shot to the head! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabbemaster Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Zombies require just a quick shot to the head! Yea right... Say that to the zombies in Thief 3! I have shot them in the head a lot of times, they just say something like "Moaahahahahadarhghghghghgh" and continues to gnaw on me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
