Scariest videogame character/s

[Crescent]

Which videogame character/s has scared the s*** out of you in the past and maybe still does to this day? It isnt always necessarily a villain, for example the Bazaar's Fortune Teller in Skyward Sword I found HIGHLY DISTURBING. Nemesis and Pyramid Head look 'attractive' next to THAT..THING. Well to me anyway. Resident Evil games had a few memorable scary characters such as Nemesis..when you suddenly heard "STARS" in that growling, deep mutant voice..Then it was time to RUN..and hopefully not straight into the fker. Even through the doors i was shit scared but real excited at the same timeXD Ill never understand why people find Dead space the scariest game ever I know everyone's entitled to their opinion but..FK THAT!! HAVE THEY NOT PLAYED AMNESIA: DARK DESCENT, SIREN:BLOOD CURSE, PROJECT ZERO 3: THE TORMENTED, CLOCKTOWER OR FATAL FRAME?!?!!!~ PUSSIES. Lets leave Scariest Game for another thread. Other guys for me on the scariest list are Scissorman from Clocktower, Pyramid Head, those crazy W(B)itches from Left 4 Dead2 and pretty much anything that moves in the games I mentioned..

lol..I havent finished Amnesia still to this day.

Mr. X from Resident Evil 2 in the B Scenario. When he is initially dropped down on you, you're like, OH, a boss for later! Then, he's right there in front of you, and if you run, this mofo breaks down the wall to come get you. That is the scariest moment in any video game ever. Also, there's a part where a Licker breaks through the glass and it makes me jump and freak out because they're tough if you're not equipped right.

Pyramid Head battle in the labyrinth is also intense because you have to see him multiple times if you don't know where you're going. It just adds to the intensity.

lol was going to say this guy too. What scares me the most is that he doesn't RUN but he always seem to be able to keep up with you. Like those villains in serial killer movies that are all cool because they know they are going to get you.

Nemesis is also scary.....

THis is the reason why I cheated in the RE games with the infinite ammo code >_<

Also in Silent Hill..those little burned baby things at the hospital.,NVM, f*ck that, EVERYTHING about Silent Hill was scary. Even the human characters...with their seemingly blank stare and really pale complexion.

[ZantetsukeN]

Forget Resi Evil, forget Silent Hill. THIS is the real face of fear.



Easily the most disturbing and creepy boss I have faced in my entire life. I think it's the fact that Earthbound is reasonably light hearted game, and then BAM! This guy scares the shit out of you.

I also think it is the theory that comes along with him, and what the boss fight is actually based on.

I second Giygas.
This... Whatever it is.
And the way you finally defeat him. It's terrifying.

Pyramid Head/The Boogeyman is still named the scariest video game character out there. Even today he's probably the scariest and most iconic character in the Silent Hill series. I can't really think of any thing that can come close to him.

I don't even know what that is above me. Looks like some mist with a red light.

It's Giygas from Earthbound. If you played it you would understand why I chose him.

Pretty much EVERYTHING from Nightmare Creatures (ps1)


This game was scary as ****. Not only because the monsters looked so freaky and so was the hideous/disfigured man you were chasing, but monsters were very tough which gave you a reason to fear them.

I played siren blood curse, I thought that was pretty freaky, especially how you hijack vision of the enemy. That added a whole new sense of anticipation to the game.

[RamesesII]

Ill never understand why people find Dead space the scariest game ever

Two words.

Alien Zombies

How much more of a shit storm can you get.

Yeah RE has zombies and SH has god knows what, but this is ALIEN zombies seriously aliens.
When you have read the book it really makes you appreciate the movies and games much more, and if you have kudos to you.

Holy shit talk about ghosts of the past I remember this game mang, at least with this game most of the mutants gave you time to react, and you had to hack em apart piece by piece and yet the buggers would still attack you.


I have never really played scary games, I played SH and that's about it I was never into survival horror games, I like to be trigger happy hence the reason I didn't like them.
I loved the movies of RE and SH and since these other games have been mentioned I like the looks of Amnesia and Siren Blood curse, but if I went back and played the other ones I think it would do my head in with the old graphics.


RAGE on xbox has some good bits not scary but it has mutants and they come at you by the dozens and they come at you while piss bolting out of reach of a hideously big mutant that looks like it came off the set of Pirates of the Caribbean.

Also is Project Zero= Fatal Frames

After you get around to playing all those games that I mentioned..Dead Space was like playing Halo. Once the Flood appeared XD

At the time the box art I bought had on it Project Zero 3:The Tormented and I played Crimson Butterfly with the title Fatal Frame II next to it. One's PAL and the other NTSC..didnt let it bother me tho

Amnesia:The Dark Descent makes for a good aid if you're constipated. /ZeroPunctuation The Milky Way video somewhat lessens the intensity though, because it's hilarious watching people freak out.

I used to be afraid of the Big Daddies from Bioshock, but they don't hurt you if you leave the Little Sisters alone, so...that takes away some of the fear too.

The Floormasters in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker scared me pretty badly when I played it. Skinny, black hands on arms that pop up when you walk close, latch onto your head, and drag you into a black abyss while making some kind of inhuman screeching sound. Terrifying when it happens and you least expect it.

Lolol that video was hilarious though I never scream like thatXD

Yeah!! I was going to include those guys too but I was more scared of the fact that I was gonna get game over rather than just 'seeing' them.

[Michael Swayne]

Back when I first started gaming, there was this...



Mr. Friend from Rugrats: Search for Reptar. The "lovable" toy that tries to scare Tommy Pickles AND teach him good hygiene. Not only is there a level strictly about this demonic toy of death, but then he makes an appearance in a darkened toy store to chase you again. I am not scared of him now, but back when I was <10 years old he was a bit scary.

Nowadays, if it is something that falls from a ceiling, or pops out from around a corner, I can get frightened by it while gaming.

[Mystyrion]

I've never played Silent Hill, but i assume the nurses somewhere near the end of the movie (awful) are in one of the games somewhere.

Alma - FEAR

I didn't consider anything in Amnesia scary, it was more the atmosphere of the game than anything.

[Quistis]

I actually liked the movie. In fact, it may be the best video game movie adaptation I've seen. It felt like I was playing the game but then it may not be the same for those who have not played it.

And yes, those nurses are in the game as well.

I completely agree. That movie was awesome.

[SuperSabin]

how would you like to go to this guy to get yourself a cloned version of a koed member?

[Rowan]

Just bought dead space 2 a few days ago, completed it a few days ago. That is probably one of the scariest games I've played in a while. The monsters are really freaky.

[Mystyrion]

Dead Space 2 was kind of a let down for me compared to the first in terms of scariness. It had some scenes that made me jump a little, but the fear wasn't really.

Though the children/babies and his dead girlfriend creeped me out at times.

[Cyanist]

Genova. I still get the creeps when I look inside that tank in the Shinra building. And then Sephiroth broke her out and there was blood smeared everywhere... Whoa.

...YOU!!!!!!!.....SACRILEGE of the highest order!!. One does not misspell a central villain of Final Fantasy VII!!! and on MY thread nonetheless!!....JENOVA!! NOT "GENOVA"...**hyperventilates**

[ZantetsukeN]

I figured, while playing Mass Effect 3, that these are terrifying.



Coming face to face with these is scary as hell. AND they can kill you in one shot.

[Taco-Calamitous]

I second... third... or whatever number we're at (too lazy to check) Giygas. That final battle was rather distressing. I remember staying awake, thinking about it. Dunno if he'd have the same effect if I played the game today, but back then...

As far as Bioshock goes, the Big Sisters are designed to be pretty scary. Once you save too many little sisters, the Big Sisters come to kill you, and the game gives you warnings: "A Big Sister is on its way!" "The Big Sister is almost here!" And then they kick your ass. Doesn't really scare me though; just kinda frustrates me due to how much of my ammo and health packs I'd use up fighting them. (Although nothing's quite as bad as protecting a harvesting little sister... but that's another topic.) Still, I appreciate the effort they took to make the Big Sisters scary. Oh, and I didn't find Big Daddies scary. Dodie's just a chicken wuss

Can't think of anything else. Anyhoo...

Wuv, Yer Mom

Adult content warning:

Spoiler: It could be said that many monsters while playing Dante's Inferno. Medusa is creepy as hell and I can never look at my wife's boobs the same way again. Too creepy when she pulls out those baby monsters from the nipples.

[+ Revenant +]

Those fireball-throwing "imps"(although they looked more like wolfmen) from the original Doom still scare me. There's just something about that hissing noise they make and the gross sizzling sound when you get too close and they start frying you at pointblank range.

The split-face dogs and nurses in Silent Hill 3 were terrifying for different reasons. The dogs could just leap from the darkness and take a bite out of you. You always knew when the nurses were there because you can hear them breathing, but don't see them until they're almost on top of you.

And I liked the SH movie. It was easily the least bad VG flick I've ever seen. The acting isn't perfect, but they captured the look and feel of the series extremely well.

[Crow Song]

the video game character i would never want to run into in a dark alley would be

Gannondorf from The Legend of Zelda

Yuki "Hazama" Terumi From Blazblue

and Maleficent from Kingdom Hearts!

All three would make me pee myself if i were to see one of them in real life.

[Meigumi]

When I was little, I kinda developed Arachnophobia because of this game called Ty the Tasmanian Tiger. They had these real ugly spiders-pitch black and huge.
I'm still scared of them to this day.

There was also Darkside from Kingdom Hearts. I was seven years old when I was first playing Kingdom Hearts, and was like "OH MY GOD TURN IT OFF TURN IT OFF" when I first saw it. First couple of days, I had nightmares, and left the game alone for quite a while--more than 2 years--until I looked at the game again and thought to myself, "okay bro I can take you on you evil abomination of a devil". I'm no longer scared of it, but the sight of it does invoke some pretty bad memories...

Last one-this one time I went to my friend's house for a party and she was playing a pretty scary game on her Wii. I can't remember the title for my life, but the ghost at Chapter 1 was pretty freaky. @_@
