Scariest Moment of the Game
What was your scariest moment when playing through this game? Mine was when I was roaming the streets, completing side quests and what not, and I came across a basement. Inside the basement was
Anyways, what was your most scariest moment throughout the game?

Re: Scariest Moment of the Game
I was at the back of the house where you needed to lower the ladder with the long hook weapon, I heard a noise and I just thought it was one of those random background noises meant to make you feel uneasy. So I turned around and it took me 5 seconds to realize a Screamer was standing right there in my face, but I couldnt tell because it really blended in with the background. I havent gasped so loud in a game in years.

Re: Scariest Moment of the Game
That sidequest was pretty intense. When something in a room changes, like the music or the mood, even when there's no monsters around I just get anxious and want to leave, but I know I have to finish the mission. Something I thought Vatra did very well.

Re: Scariest Moment of the Game
I'm finding little things, like the door slamming behind you, are pretty unnerving. As far as monsters go, the Dolls scare the crap out of me. There's just something wrong about them. My first scare, though, happened before the game even began. The thunk noise that accompanies that Vatra logo made me jump out of my seat.

Scariest moment of the game, so far, to me is

the Cinema side quest.. Pretty much just when I went into the first movie.. I was just shocked and didn't understand what was going on. Being in a movie suddenly made me feel a lot more vulnerable.

For me, it was either:
or:

The optional house in which you find your first pistol, and run into your first Doll encounter. You don't have the UV light yet so you're basically in pitch blackness swinging wildly in the dark as you slowly take damage.

Walking through Devil's Pit with only the lighter. Having to zoom yourself in like that, obscuring your vision and leaving you vulnerable to attack, made me extra cautious and nervous.
You've got your good things, and I've got mine.

Re: Scariest Moment of the Game
Devil's pit was by far the creepiest part of the game. For jump scares though, there's a part in the orphanage where you walk out a door and BOOM weeping bat -.- almost peed myself

Re: Scariest Moment of the Game
As a whole, the scares I got were less in-your-face and more a slow, creeping sensation. Which is what we SH fans should love.
The exploration in this game is probably why I liked it so much. The first couple SH games had great exploration and a lot of ya probably like SH2's better just because it's SH2, but you gotta admit the atmosphere, the freedom, and the sidequests were all awesome in the town.
PRIME_BBCODE_SPOILER_SHOW PRIME_BBCODE_SPOILER:
What really got me loving this game was how creeped out I was exploring the town. This game IMO has the best exploration of the series..hate all you want. It would start to rain and I'd get a little uneasy... and then the STORMS!! Love it.
Another frequency perpetuated into context, trapped in the eternal paradox.

Re: Scariest Moment of the Game
i am going to say the orphanage when you have to put on the play. when you first enter the scene and eveything changes to a real world was very very very well done. It was the best nerve wrecking part of the game for me.
It's a world of someone's nightmarish dillusions come to life.

I LOVED that scene, but uh, not the first pistol, there's a hidden one early on that's part of a cool scene.Herr Shaun wrote:For me, it was either:

Walk in and there's a dead dog on the bed, suddenly you get screamed at, that kinda freaked me out. Honestly in general I loooved the first few hours way more than the rest of the game. The way he seemed scared also really added to it.

Scariest for me was in the Devils Pit

I love the Silent Hill Series. The games: Homecoming, Origins, and Shattered Memories, did nothing wrong whatsoever, they were developed well, and did things different. Just because they were not by Team Silent doesn't mean that they're bad games. I believe in this series. I believe that one day, we can have a game that will make all Silent Hill fans Happy. I believe that Silent Hill Downpour can achieve this.
Team Silent may be gone, but their series isn't. Instead... it's here, it's alive.
If you agree, add it to your sig.

So many scary moments in that game. For me, it was probably when you're in Overlook and...

Re: Scariest Moment of the Game
It would be a very long list of all of the moments that scared me in this game, but one I have to mention is:
PRIME_BBCODE_SPOILER_SHOW PRIME_BBCODE_SPOILER:
In the orphanage when you're going into a dark room (filled with Dolls) to get an axe so you can break some boards barring you from going further you have to travel through a short hallway and all of a sudden a curtain flashes in front of you with the silhouette of a man "axing" another man. I actually had to reload the game from a save just before that, and the second time down the hallway it made me jump AGAIN when that happened.

Re: Scariest Moment of the Game
I have not done many side quests on my first play through, so I can only go by the main story. Here the part that freaked me out the most was the train ride through the caverns, when things start to go crazy and the mine workers kept coming closer.
I wanted to scream at Murphy "Don't blink!!"

Re: Scariest Moment of the Game
The scariest moment for me was during the spot the difference side quest. I had no idea what I was supposted to do, so I started playing with the TV, the lamp, and the candle. Then, Murphy said "did something change??", I saw nothing, jeez, I hadn't even spotted the mirror yet. So I went to the other side of the room, "maybe something got unlocked" I thought. Murphy had his back to the TV, and out of nowhere, his head turned around and Bam! an invisible screamer got me. I got so scared I literally beat out of the sreamer crying like a little girl, haha, silly me.
Devil's pit and the prison also got me anxious, I expected something that never happened, at least by the beggining of those levels
