Ethan_Targaryen Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Love the horror genre and love being scared. However, I'm only about 15-20 minutes in and I'm already jumping. About to turn out the lights and play, wonder what other horrors await me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rb8gem9 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) Contemplating whether or not I should try this game, it looks like an interesting game, but I am not a fan of the horror genre - so much so that I avoid horror films and video games by any means necessary - i just don't enjoy the feeling of being frightened. The original BioShock is the only "horror" game I've played in recent memory and that scared me quite a bit, but according to most people it wasn't even remotely scary.

I don't think you'd like Outlast then. It's main focus is on horror with creepy atmosphere and tons of jump scares. There's a few chase sequences too and I personally hate those. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arc-Tangent- Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I just started it, with the lights off... Pretty creepy. I jumped at one of the first jump scares, so much so that my dog got freaked out by me jumping and then looked at me funny... I still really like this game though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you thought Bioshock was scary, then this game will probably scare the living s*** outta you. I didn't find bioshock scary at all but this game jeez a completely different level of fright. Of course I don't find many scary movies/games scary, but this whoa just whoa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverstag88 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 (edited) I honestly don't find Outlast very scary. In fact, there's times when I'm laughing at it instead of being scared. Sure there's moments when things jump out at you but after it happens one you kind of get used to it.

Piggybacking on this statement, I am wondering if I should even bother with it. For reference, Silent Hill 2 scared the crap out of me, but to my credit, I was trying to play it at night with headphones (PC version), and when I was like 13. I got through the first Bioshock fine, and was able to get through Dead Space 1 and halfway through Dead Space 2 (though in that case I kinda lost the drive to play). Also the classic RE games are totally fine with me, they're actually some of my favorite games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never played Silent Hill 2 so I can't comment and I never found dead space 1 or 2 even remotely scary, however this game I think is scary simply because you can hear your character breathing heavily when enemies are nearby, the fact you can't fight back and the camera takes battery life to use the infrared. I am playing this however at night with the lights out and its got me playing extremely cautiously. I'd have to play during the day with lights on to see if it's less scary.

cryax Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I got up to the part where you have to hide in the cupboard because the power has been off by that weird guy and I just had to turn it off, im now waiting for a mate to play it with because I don't want to play it alone 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryggraket Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I do love the game, just like i love Amnesia: Dark Descent and a machine for pigs. The industry is so fucking saturated with shooters and horror games that are nothing more than pure action games with horror skin, dead space 3, resident evil 5, 6 etc. That's why i love games where you do nothing but survive and hide. Although with Outlast the atmoshpere kinda dies off sometimes if you die at one area too many times, then you can simply run and hope to not get insta-killed. It kinda goes from " oh shit i cant fucking do this i better turn of my choice of gaming system " to " ah fuck it i want to procceed with the story now " So if Alien Isolation is half as amazing it looks, it's easily one of the best candidates of the goty.

KingsCake Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I'm a grown ass man and I refused to play the game alone... had two buddies come to my house for 3 nights straight so we could power through it to the end. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronhideClyde Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I do not enjoy those games, horror genre not my thing. Of course I tried Outlast out, since I can't criticize something I never experienced. It was scary, very scary for me I was afraid to enter every other room lol.

deadlygunner18 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) I dont know much about horror games all i know is dedicated fans of horror games have said it is not scary. But im pretty new to the genre and this game is scary i have to keep reminding myself its just a game. After i play outlast i have to play some friendly nice game to get it outta my head. My father who plays video games casually (He more enjoys COD and BF4) he told me he does not like it because it feels very scripted and its more cat and mouse chases. He also said after a while the game becomes pretty dull and boring as he is only hiding and running. Personally i am not that far into the game to agree he has been racing through and is toward the end Edited February 14, 2014 by deadlygunner18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STRANGEgenius Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 I'm a grown ass man and I refused to play the game alone... had two buddies come to my house for 3 nights straight so we could power through it to the end.

damon8r351 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Not really sure I can play this, for two reasons: 1. I have a very active imagination, and things like Smiledog pictures have had me creeped out for days. 2. Every morning I have to get up at 5 am to get ready for work, and I have to stumble downstairs in the dark with only my cellphone as a light.

Since I don't have a PS4 I watched Powerpyx on Youtube do a speedrun on insane, he finishes the game in 1 hour 15 min. Maybe you can watch him play, that's a lot less stressful for your heart than playing it yourself . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
