L4D in a top 10 scariest list? Jesus...

Where's Fatal Frame?

NotAfanBoyy3653d ago

DeadSpace is a good game, but no more scary than Doom 3. No Fatal Frame aka Project Zero?

WishMeWell2593653d ago

Dead space did great. Idk if he was aiming for the first 1-3 or what but resident evil is no where near scary(anymore).
L4D really makes me question your decision making.
Alan Wake i was kinda surprised but ill give it to you.
kinda surprised Slender is on here. I watched a top 10 horror and that was on it, so i watched some videos and people were freaking out so i was interested. Personally, the atmosphere was great but slender man in general...is broken. I found its weak points and took advantage. And once you have advantage over something in game it isnt scary. Have to give the creator credit tho. did it by himself, scared many people AND started a new generation in Horror gaming. Thank you

There are only two games in my life i can say it terrified me. and I love it.
Silent Hill 1...Had to turn off the music. Bro and I took turns playing different parts lol
Resident evil 2...Asked my brother before bed if zombies were real.
Yes I was 7-8 years old but most "horror" games dont do that anymore, because its all about the action

dennett3163653d ago

Left 4 Dead should not really be on that list. I mean, it can get frantic when you're getting swarmed, but it is a full on action title and doesn't really have the atmosphere needed to be a true horror.
Resident Evil I would have on the list, but probably only at number 10 because again, it isn't really all that scary. There's tension galore at times, and the dogs crashing through the windows got me just like it got everyone else, but it really is more of a B movie vibe...especially as the series goes on. Great games, but the horror is pretty mild in truth.
Fatal Frame/Project Zero absolutely deserves a place on the list, that is a game that nails the creepy atmosphere and subtle scares that really send a chill up your spine.
Very nice to see Condemned on the list, a truly underrated horror game. Great atmosphere, combat is visceral and scary and it's a very well paced game.
If Amnesia is on the list, I'd also include Penumbra from the same developers. It's very similar to Amnesia, but no less nerve-jangling.

Matt6663653d ago

Silent Hill should be higher on the list then RE. Furthermore RE should only be on the list if it RE1-CVx, anything after that became an action game and lost all survival horror aspects. Also Silent Hill should only be on there if it SH 1-4, since they where the best SH games.

Steam Uproar as Capcom Slips In Restrictive DRM Software

From Xfire: "Steam users and the larger PC gaming community are lashing out at Capcom over a streak of sneaky DRM updates as the Japanese gaming giant continues to flirt with controversy"

LordoftheCritics90d ago

RIP

Capcom turning into Ubisoft.

Well success can have that effect.

just_looken90d ago

Yep this shows how bad a digital world is now well for the old titles new games disc or not the drm is there but you can get the old games on dvd then try to monkey the last pre drm update onto the game files.

I love GOG for this reason i saw that skyrim bs update so i know not to run that version as gog you can select what patch to download/install with capcom hopefully we get a list of the update numbers that add this horrific drm.

With denuvo as a alder lake pc user it still has issues with E cores and i remember when the servers were taken offline forcing hundreds of games to be paperweights.

It's also really annoying how they can cut or change content later, like the Skull Girls controversy, a decade later after the game came out, they decide to censor it. The game is a decade old, if it's not broken, leave it, adding DRM back into older games is BS.

just_looken89d ago

@final

Good point even major sp games got the cut after the fact be it last of us with maps/art or gta 5 removing stuff in the world.

Cyberpunk ps4 day one disc copy the sept build still has stuff the other versions no longer have.

With the gta 6 controversy right now i think back to the days of saints row creating a character beating up cops with a dildo bat and now we have elon crying over gta 6 guns killing cops i bet you if they made saints row 2 hd they would half to cut half the games content or go to jail lol also sad.

Was watching avatar last airbender 13yr old ang kissing katar again can not have that in a kids show or game now.

PRIMORDUS90d ago (Edited 90d ago )

Do they want more of their games to be torrented? Seems like it, I don't mind 🤣 Just ripped them a new asshole on Twitter, as I do not care what I say or post on there LOL.

banger8889d ago

Let me guess, you have a vpn enabled. For your sake I hope it's not in any 5 Eyes territories.

PRIMORDUS89d ago

I have ExpressVPN but on Twitter I don't use it lol. For other things I use it :D

Barlos89d ago

Nice. I got a lifetime ban on Twitter back in 2020 for speaking my mind. Don't care tbh, I'm not really into social media. I don't even have a Facebook account.

PRIMORDUS89d ago

I'm still trying to get banned to lol I'll keep at it 🤣 I have FB but maybe log in once a month but yeah always speak your mind no matter how bad the words come out, do not hold back online or IRL. Fuck them shit bags lol.

got_dam90d ago

This is classic Capcom. They everything they go on a hot streak and win back some consumer good will they have to turn around and burn it to the ground and have to start the whole process again.

Chocoburger89d ago (Edited 89d ago )

Additional DRM just pushes people to pirate more. These ignorant executives just don't get it. Only the legitimate customer is affected by DRM. 😕

Darkegg89d ago

Drm punishes legit customers and encourage hackers. It’s the wrong way to go about it.

I mostly disagree with Downpour's position. Yeah, the game is not amazing by any stretch of the imagination but is much better than the HD Collection and Homecoming. The main issue is the performance, but that was mitigated by the patches, especially on the PS3. Personally, I put it a little behind Origins and The Room.

Having Restless Dreams as a different entry from Silent Hill 2 is also a choice.

bfrye26183d ago

Normally, we would not consider it a different game (Restless Dreams), but since it had a very different critical reception and had new content, it was allowed. As for Downpour, I would agree, but since that one is subjective, we let him make his case for the placement.

gold_drake183d ago

silent hill 2 is definitely the best one out of those.

for me personally, the whole ritual/cult stuff was always so weird to me in all the other games.

CrimsonWing69182d ago

No disrespect but I put SH2 over 1. 1 is fantastic, but 2 took it all up a level.

bfrye26182d ago

We agree, that is why the writer put it in top place!
