I thought this was going to be a lot more scary. Once you get used to the nightmare it becomes more obnoxious than scary. Its just running around mazes looking for keys. The enemies pose zero challenge and theres zero jumpscares. I know a lot of pussies hate jump-scares but you honestly need the threat of being jump scared to keep the tension high. Once you realize the game has no teeth it becomes a tedious cake walk

the atmosphere is what makes the game scary.
jump scares aren't actually scary.

I thought sonic was going to be a lot more fun. Once you get used to the speed it becomes more obnoxious than fun. It's just holding right and pressing the jump button sometimes. The enemies pose zero challenge and the game is just a random combination of jump and hold right.

There are jumpscares in this game.
You complained about exploration and puzzles being too hard, so your opinion about enemy difficulty is garbage. If they were more challenging, you'd complain about that too.

I didn't even realize it was a horror game. My friends and I thought it was some playskool license game when we played it. People actually got scared by this shit? lmfao

you don't need jumpscares for something to be scary. being put into contact with an effectively unnerving entity is going to be scary even when there is no sting or violent shock.

Jump-scares are the antithesis of psychological horror. I understand your RE examples in

Okay but play this game at 10 years old in 1999 in a dark room on a crt. You'd shit yourself

I don't want you to be right, but you're probably right. Playing it through for the first time now, and the atmosphere is great, but I'm just ending up using a walkthrough to tell me where to find shit because it's so tedious I have a hard time immersing myself in that atmosphere.They can be scary if done correctly, but they're almost never done correctly.I'm having fun, but not as much fund as I'd like to have or feel like I should be having.

Silent Hill has way more jumpscares than Resident Evil ever did, but fanboys aren't ready for that discussion.

You either didn't actually play it or you used a guide.
I'm refusing to believe that you played the game blind and the enemies posed you zero challenge. The melee combat has a learning curve before you stop taking easily avoidable damage, and if don't know where the extra ammo and healing items are around town, you have to conserve the hell out of your resources, so you can't just shoot every enemy in each area.All of this applies to RE1-3 as well. If you don't actively try to never use your best weapons, you will run out of ammo. And the enemies create tension because of this because you have to use weak weapons or avoid them because you can't just use the shotgun on everything.In this way the genre is similar to dungeon crawlers, where you are constantly on edge that your next encounter could spend too many resources, thus preventing you from making it to the next area/out of the dungeon.

The unsettling atmosphere is where it's at, though only a few parts really hit hard. The darkness does become obnoxious as you can see so little.>zero jumpscares
Only incompetent morons use jumpscares.

Are you playing without sound? It has tons of audio jumpscares.

You know horror genre is more than just getting jumpscared like a little bitch right? Like do you even appreciate when a game immerses you in it's setting with great atmosphere and sound design, slowly building up and maintaining the intensity and gradually unfolding its horrors.
It's easy to bitch about a horror games end game cause the fear of the unknown is highly diminished by then simply cause you've got accustomed to it and seen most of what the game has to offer. Literally all horror games (and movies) lose steam on their last chapter.

OP Here. By any means I dont think the game was BAD. I thought the atmosphere was amazing, and I couldn't believe how good the graphics were for a ps1 game. The sheer detail alone in the school area is absolutely the best I have ever seen for a ps1 game. It was really ahead of its time in the art department.I just thought the game wasn't scary, except the game didn't have ANYTHING going for it gameplay wise to make up for the lack of scary. I was enjoying the atmosphere but the game itself was beyond boring. If the atmosphere and graphics wasnt so good people would think this was a really shitty game.
