what was also hosed up is that Albert's timings were different from Lavitz's, so I kept getting thrown off and used someone else instead.

The part where you rescue the angel from the undead machine thingy.

I mean, the premise isn't too harsh. She's just having her blood forcibly extracted. Really nothing much. But the voice acting! And when you get some quest item or something and return: "I knew you'd come back!" The desperation is palpable.

Really stuck with me.

Some of the Colossi fights in Shadow of the Colossus upset me... a couple of them you can tell are just terrified of you and aren't fighting you so much as just desperately trying to get away from you after you tracked them down and brutally attacked them in their lair.

Also when I was in middle school I started playing a bunch of games like Halo and Republic Commando and all these other games where you exclusively fight aliens and robots and orcs and whatever and got used to them so I actually got upset when I started playing Ghost Recon 2: Summit Strike again and it just felt wrong to be killing human beings.

I remember feeling sick at the beginning of max payne when i was a kid, and the snes clue game used to scare the poo poo out of me and my friends when i was in 1st grade. We used to put it on just to get creeped out lmao i guess it was the sound effects?

I guess it counts that as a kid the fact that enemies in Hexen respawned made me so terrified that I just hid behind the stained glass windows and punched them as they came to find me.

one of my cousins was afraid of the cleric's ghost staff so id sit outside of actual killing range of it in DM and spam it at him to freak him out

hexen was a cool game, the warrior punch is one of the best melee starter weapons i can think of.

the guy who made D did crazy stuff to get it published

quote:

because the storyline and graphic FMVs were more horrifying than any video game that had yet been released, head developer Kenji Eno resorted to a trick in order to get D published. The game was originally developed with no storyline, and Eno kept the story sequences a secret even from the other members of WARP. When the game was finished, he submitted a "clean" version (i.e. without the violent and disturbing story content of the complete version) for approval. He deliberately submitted the master late, knowing that part of the penalty was that he would have to deliver it by hand to the manufacturers in the USA. While on the plane ride to the USA, he switched the phony "clean" discs with the finalized discs, thus completely bypassing all censorship

A few years ago in a game of CS a dude who was in a clan with who seemed decent until one game he started spewing racist poo poo and when people called him on being a devout christian he started this religious rant about how wrong people were and it ended in him screaming about how just because Jesus said something it doesn't mean he follows it and threatening to shoot both the people who were giving him poo poo and also just people in general with more rage than I have ever heard even in video games. It was extremely terrifying.
