Do you get frightened when playing horror games?

[PixelRaider]

Although I love everything about the horror genre, including movies and haunted locations, I'm still scared when I play horror games. Hehe. I'm frightened by the unsettling sounds and visuals. Furthermore, the main character I portray feels as though I am the one in actual danger. Haha. Do horror video games make you feel frightened, too?

I don't get scared when I play horror games. I know what to expect and always focus on getting it done even when I know some horror games can be quite frightening. The most important thing is being in a mood to play such games.

If an horror game doesn't make me uneasy at a point, it is failed. I want to feel that dread as I navigate through the game. That's where the real fun in the game lies for me.

Depending on the setting and what game i guess. I'd imagine I'll be pretty scared playing a horror game usign VR headset. I'd probably break something

It should certainly make you feel a certain way when you play the game. That is for sure and I believe it is very important to look at that part when it comes to picking horror games because no matter how one acts, horror games should make them feel a bit unease when they play it.

I would be lying if I said I am not frightened. Jump scare and psychological horror games certainly are terrifying but I am not easily frightened to play action adventure horror games.

Psychological horror games should definitely scare anyone. You will be wondering what next to expect when you are playing such a game. It can't be an easy situation, but it is still fun at the end of the day.

When I was a kid I might have gotten scared every now and then. But it was not that bad. As an adult, I can play any kind of game without an atom of fear

I've not played anything scary enough to frighten me. Then again, the scariest game I've played is Luigi's Mansion.

Never! Horror video games are my favorite genre which is why there is no way I am going to be afraid or scared when playing such games. It is in the same manner I enjoy watching horror movies.

 

[TheMask]

I get scared but that's the whole point of horror games. If you don't get scared, I think the game failed you.

I get scared but that's the whole point of horror games. If you don't get scared, I think the game failed you.

I know right? Horror games are supposed to keep the players on their toes, with some jump scares every now and then. I rarely feel that way anymore though.

It usually depends on the kind of horror video game I am playing as to whether I find it scary or not. One game that I played through that I found scary was SAW: The Video Game.

I don't tend to play many horror games now.
