gaming What is the scariest video game enemy you faced?

[~TheStealthyPony~ 166]

This is the scariest enemy eve,i have nightmares about it

Also this little b******

Those are the scariest ones i have seen in the games i played especially the first one

[An Old Head 4,815]

Thinking of general enemies, I would have to go with the Brute from Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Outside of the actual game and its spectacular atmosphere, it's a lot less scary, but when you're hiding from one in the Sewer or the Choir while in-game... man, I was shaken :3

 

It's even more chilling when you realise the back story. (highlight to read spoilers) Many of the diary entries in Castle Brenneburg describe victims of the Shadow, with descriptions of their deaths and injuries scarily similar to the Brute's figure - "limbs scattered, heads split down the middle, their skin flayed as if boiled". And seeing as the main object of Amnesia is to outwit the Shadow, the element of fear is cranked up, because it feels as if the Shadow is bringing in nightmarish, physically present monsters to hunt you down..

Here's a picture.

 

 

 

 

 

Bosses... if it counts as a boss, then I'd pick Alexander of Brennenburg, again from Amnesia. More specifically, his phantom that you find in the study after you find out he's stashed the skulls of his murder victims in his desk drawer. In general, he's a very twisted villain, so to have his phantom take over his painting portrait in the study is extremely unnerving.

 

The painting goes from this:

 

 

 

 

 

to this after you find out his grim secret:

 

 

 

 

 

Easily the scariest part of any video game I've played, ever. I think I elaborated on it in a previous thread about scary video game moments - there was a period of time after encountering this painting that I couldn't leave my room without picturing it and its demonic face on the other side of the door.

I'll just leave this here.

 

 

In case you were wondering, it's the Hunter from Dead Space. You can't kill it, it just keeps regenerating.

Doom 2 was a fun game.. But it wasn't really that scary. I didn't really mind the horror factor of the game. It was still prett-

Good question. There's quite a few. However, I'm going to go with something you probably wouldn't think of. Because it frightens me to this day.

 

 

[Betez 1,734]

I actually haven't played that many scary games. So I'm gonna have to go with...

 

 

 

 

 

You guessed it...

 

 

 

 

Slenderman!

 

 

Yeah I know. Anyway, I still find him pretty scary in Slender. I need to play more games...

[Appleja©k 31]

I have got to say Scarecrow from Batman:Arkham Asylum. I always dreaded having to face that MF, and the first time I saw him I almost shat my pants.

[Fluttering Shy 12]

He is not really an enemy but the butler from Tomb raider 2 he would follow you around the property 

and you would hear his ice cubes and not know where he was. He used to scare the living day lights out of me and still does.

=.

[DR Leper Lupinstein 410]

the scariest enemies i fought was the crimson head in resident evil. if you don't decapitate or set zomies on fire they mutate into these freax and when you step over them they jump up and chase you...

[Ember Gleam 167]

By far I would have to say "missingno". Oh sure  you could copy 99 of whatever item was in the sixth slot of your bag...at the risk of your game being erased! But I guess that's just one of the risks of being a pokemon trainer.  R.I.P my favorite team.

[Phoenix237 353]

If you ever played Earhbound you probably already know who I'm going to say.

 

Giygas from Earthbound scared the shit out of me. This boss truly terrified me as a kid. What was bad is that I also heard a rumor that if you say Giygas three times in the mirror that you will eventually see Giygas.

[TalkativeHarmony~ 1]

SLENDERMAN.

 

'nuff said. Some scary scheisse. You have to collect EIGHT pages in a DARK forest where SLENDERMAN is CHASING you and he could be right behind you butyou'dneverknowbecauseyou'recollectingthepages!

[Archi the Atmomancer 564]

I'm sure I've been scared shitless by a multitude of marauding monsters but I have to say the ones that terrified me the most were...

 

Bog standard ghosts from Luigi's Mansion!

 

There was an entire section where the power goes out and ghosts are literally EVERYWHERE, and as I was about 10 it scared the crap out of me. Suffice to say I haated that section, and I only just managed to complete the game last year thanks to that section driving me away.

 

also ReDeads from Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker also scare the crap out of me if I'm playing at night. You try to attack those things and *WHAM* the most bloodcurdling scream you've ever heard.

[-D1SCORDANT- 1,080]

I don't really play horror type games

 

but these guys popping out nowhere nearly gives me a friggin' heart attack every time

Silly deathclaws. I use Fellout too, but in my opinion, the night gets dark way too early. And yeah, Yao Guai's are surprisingly quiet too, even though they're superheavy and are charging full speed at you.

[Totally Ducklett 181]

Oh shit... the flood definetely... they are freaking scary... watching helpless marines get mutated into monsters that try to eat you... oh god... I had so many nightmares of them.... but then I realized they were squids and I completely forgot.

 

 

This is scary.

 

 

 

IM GONNA EAT YOU!!!!

[Gentlecolt 8]

Well im scared of Slashers and hunters from the Dead Space series, thoses things come from nowhere in less than a second, after killing them i enjoy crushing them.

[The Pony Alchemist 70]

Starcraft, Kerrigan The Queen of blades... When I first saw her I didn't go a night without having nightmares about her for about a month, Her voice those bucking skeletal wings scariest thing that ever happened to me, although, for the most part I'm over it now, she just looks bucking bad-flank.
 

[~Sugar Sprinkles~ 637]

I have multiple. This is from when I was a kid....don't judge me

 

Well, first off, these weren't really bosses....but these enemies from spyro SCARED me as a child. They just like shake and come at you.

 

 

 

Then in Starfox adventures, this damn beats scared me.

 

 

and

 

 

Sly Cooper, the Contessa just creeped me out....

 

 

Banjo Tooie would be

 

 

and

 

 

The game Rayman...that stupid Mosquito...that ends up on your side

 

 

Tho now the Mosquito is cute, but as a kid it freaked me out.

 

Those are pretty much the bosses that scared me AS A KID. I do not fear them now...though Andross from Starfox adventures still kind of creeps me out

Worst enemy I've ever faced..........two answers: The Flood from Halo and The Fool and Wheel Of Fate from House of the Dead 3

 

The Flood just kept on coming. They would infect new bodies and just never stayed dead. Oh, and it gets worse. In Halo 3, you had to go through the INFECTED High Charity to find Cortana. There was biomass BUCKING EVERYWHERE.....and when you thought about it, you were walking on the mutated flesh of dead people. You literally saw dead people..........everywhere.

 

As for House of the Dead 3, the Fool never stopped moving, he became harder and harder to hit with every passing section. Thankfully, he does NOT, repeat NOT, compare to the Wheel Of Fate. Against him it was a case of "Mash the bucking trigger or get zapped to death". I would sweat to my bones every time I fought him.......he was practically invincible.

[Harmonic Revelations 8,833]

Anything in the water. I hate water so much that when possible I will actually cheat to get around it, I have a fear of water enemies, no matter what.

[Demonic Soulz 482]

This thing scared me when ever it appeared in Dead Space 1 (and i think it apppeared in Dead Space 2 also im not sure)

 

 

And the way it kills you is grusome

[Megas 27,038]

Mr. Gold and Mr. Silver from God Hand

 

For my real answer though, I'd have to give it to the Sorrow from MGS3

 

Fight always gives me the creeps

[VelvetDivan 96]

I was *really* young when I played it and that's why it freaked me out so much I guess, but there was an Alien game for the Commodore 64 that was terrifying.  

   The graphics were so simple and primitive, but if the alien caught you, a xenomorph filled the entire screen, flashing, making this terrible sound and it scared the bejeezus out of me!  The game was very good at building tension.  It was silent, letting you hear the scrape of ventilation grilles being moved and so on.  Ugh, so creepy for such an old lousy-looking game.

 

System Shock 2, more modern but still moldy to most of you, also creeped me out majorly.  

   For the first encounter with an enemy in the game.

[mR.dErP893 39]

One of the things that scared me in a video game were the Giant rad scorpions from fallout new vegas. Let me explain why: i was just randomly walking around exploring the world of fallout new vegas (this was my first time playing it) and i was being attacked form behind and i turned around anf HOLY SHIT!!!! there it was trying to kill me while i try to kill it but it killed me instead. I Didnt play that game for like a month or so then i got use to them then i found my worst nightmare the QUEEN Radscorpion. When i saw here i had amnesia moment i yelled "NOPE" then  didnt play it for a while lol
