Horror Games Dying.

Same company, same basic rules. They just took out combat, cuz well, the combat sucked.

true, no combat does make a game scarier.
but theres an even further point, ineffective weapons.

there was this game i played on the ps2 i think called vampire rain(not sure) you have a fully automatic assault rifle with grenade launcher,frag grenades, infared, etc. to hunt vampires with.
heres the thing, using any of it would alert them to you being there.
and these are the hellsing(anime/ova/mange) type vampires, ultra fast ultra touch, and able to take 3 clips 5 grenades and then kill you instantly.
so yea, sucks finding out the hard way that all that equipment is worth jack shit meanwhile you have around 50 vampires moving faster then you can aim running at you.

Call of Cthulhu dark corners of the earth is decent until you get alot of weapons:<

Amnesia was as dull, boring and uninteresting as any horror movie this side of The Exorcist. Though to be fair, it is probably because of my inability to buy into the illusion of horror while sat in a sofa watching a screen. Take the horror aspect away, and you have a bland game.

Go read American Psycho if you wish to be scared.

I had nightmares after playing Resident Evil 2. I couldn't stop playing, was like 10 at the time. Fucking loved it...but was so scared to play. I actually got banned from video games because I was so terrified of it, even though I kept wanting to play.

I didn't like Amnesia, but I liked RE5 and Bioshock 2, and SH5 was very scary, despite the terrible plot.

I think people overrate horror games a little...
"I want to get scary like when I played RE1!!!" ... so do I, but I was 8 years old when RE1 was released, I can't blame Capcom for my growing up.

as fear 3 and silent hill Being released, i don't really think that horror games are going to vanish

"Fix" let me say it in a different way :

what Died is Co-op survival horror games, makes me sad =|

if Fear 1 and 2 - Silent hill - Resident evil 1 had Co-op....damn.. would be awesome
