Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports). "Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

"Generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission.

It's all a matter of opinion.

Yes, downvote him for presenting a reasonable counter to "this is dumb".

[–]LolFishFail -4 points-3 points ago

or it's fact. To be irrationally scared of something getting you when you're playing a game. Jump scares and loud noises aren't scary.

They just aren't, If they continuously scare you that's the same logic as a baby being surprised everytime someone says "pika-boo".

In terms of scary, being isolated, alone is scary. The fact that a real person would fight back against a monster, all add desperation and drama to a scene.

Call me a connoisseur of horror, mind games and compelling story can be scary, jump scares... not so much. Silent Hill is a fine example of horror done properly.

Different things scare different people. Jump scares get me every time.

[–]BillNyedasNaziSpy 0 points1 point ago

Except jump scares are incredibly easy to make and are the cheapest form of "horror" out there.

I guess I gotta assemble to the hivemind now.

SLENDER SUCKS SO NOT SCARY

[–]MaxamiIIionGalactica 3 points4 points ago

Dude, shut the fuck up about your "hivemind" bullshit. It's just people with goddamn opinions.

[–]Nolis -2 points-1 points ago

So it's a fact that a jump scare can't scare people? I think the definition of a jump scare is basically to scare somebody in a sudden/surprising way.

[–]Eyeless_Sid 3 points4 points ago

Since when was this stupid fad ever scary? Man parts of Skyrim are far more horror based and scary than any slender video. Slender is for benders :P

[–]aroxion 2 points3 points ago

.......pussy.

[–]thatdovahkiinyouknow 0 points1 point ago

Where is this from?

[–]undergroundn9na 2 points3 points ago

I'm really tired of slender....tired of hearing about it...

[–]Scarfall 0 points1 point ago

Risky link.

[–]throwawaylifad 0 points1 point ago

Oh. I get it. Slender is scary. Ha ha. Well done.

[–]shaitan19 1 point2 points ago

I'm gonna play it just in spite of this.

[–]cantwritepuns 1 point2 points ago

I don't get what everyone's NOPE status on this is all about. I watched a video of the game and it doesn't really look that scary. It looked pretty limited from what I saw, but maybe they improved it.

[–]BabylegsOHoulihan[S] -2 points-1 points ago

By all means I encourage you to... I am just a big pussy when it comes to these kinds of games, but if you're ok with it go nuts.

[–]shaitan19 1 point2 points ago

Closed my shades and turned my music off. Never again. Never.

afraid of playing a shitty game?
