Fired up Doom 3 the other day and found that I just couldn't sit there and play it as it scared the carp out of me.
I used to play nothing but FPS games and was never bothered by things jumping out on me, so how the hell do I get my nerve back? I feel like a right big girle
LMAO, It used to make me jump when playing late at night and stuff always jumping out, I tihnk that was its only good aspect. I didn't really like it and I loved the early Doom games, they were class
I hate games that always try to scare you! Why the hell are there always zombies/ mutants in FPS!
When I played Far Cry for the first time I loved it ntil mutants started appearing eveywhere. Same in HL2 but at least it was only one level. doom and Quake can go to hell where they belong and I'm not even going to look into System Shock 2!
They even ruined Dark Messiah for me! I can't be bothered to get past the zombie bit.
Vampire Masquerade even has it's moments.

Hehe don't worry bud I also found it very frightening. The best way to play it is in the dark with headphones though, if you're gonna play it and be scared you may as well maximize the effect
I got System Shock 2 today and have just started playing it, only played 10 mins so haven't got to anything scary yet, it's quite... interesting... playing such an old game graphics wise though!
I agree with whoever said Silent Hill on the Playstation, that was one freaky game. Especially in the hospital areas with the freaky hunched back nurses

I remember when I got alone of Doom 3, played to the bit where you go downstairs into some comm room. Then the lights go off and you hear all these voices. Holy crap turned off uninstalled and never played again.
LOL played F.E.A.R most of the way through though untill pc crashed, and had to format!

you need to bring yourself back in slowly.
Start with solitaire (in daylight)
Gradually move to the evening (with lights on)
AND THEN try solitaire with the lights out.
After this repeat the process with minesweeper.
Gradually increase the intensity of the games until you reach SNAP.
After this try pacman (has ghosts)
Then move on progressively

DOOM 3 scared the carp out me at bits, though i didnt get that sick feeling that some people do.
Whoever says that FEAR is scary.... go play AOE 3 or something
never played system shock 2, is it recent, what was the first one like?
