ITT: enemies that unnerve you

>>747554654For me it's those centipede guys that shoot those homing projectiles.
>>747554654Would
>>747554654these guys go from being intimidating to way too easy to dispatch in a concerningly short amount of playtime, Caelid powerscaling is kind of insane looking back on it
Not unnerve but the audio of the guys puking up worms in Cathedral of the Deep makes me sick and I had to turn the volume down.
The giant snake balls in the forest from Bloodborne.I'm not going to pull up an image of them.
>>747554654
>>747554654Caelid background music sounds like flies
Sewer centipede dark souls 3
Absolutely incredible design and animations
These fucking demons
>>747554963yeah i really hate these guys because they're covered in fucking ticks.
These dudes from Bulletwitch. The sounds they made bugged me out.
the worst nightmare I ever had featured this guy
>aaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH
>>747554654I wonder if they were based on these things.
I hated these things in Rayman 3
>>747554654I didn't even know that they had eyes, I thought they were hollow eye sockets
>>747554654>jumpscares you
>>747554906It's a lot less scary once you see the original drawing

These creepy niggas from Bloodborne.

>still no peenus weanus4zoom is fucking dead
>>747554654That fucking feint poise break got me yesterday.
>>747556057I mean yeah it's clearly a Pterosaur of some kind.
>>747558014It unironically gets you banned now
>>747557564Fewer things are scarier than hearing one of these fuckers screaming way off in the distance (meaning it knows where you are and is coming to get you) and having no idea where it is
The way the extra heads are animated
>>747556291HOT
>>747558014>missed the first post
>>747554654I jumped the first time I saw one of these fuckers
>>747557564They're predictable and easy to dodge. Try those niggers who can gank you and are near impossible to dodge in some configurations. Like when they're three of them in a small room and they do the whirly spinning thing, then another's dashing at you and then another does a charge and by the time you get back on your feet you're surrounded by them with a sliver of health left. Fucking horrific.Or when you're doing a floor too high level for you so you really don't want to engage with them but one of the cunt saw a pixel of your character's model half a mile away and he decides to traverse the entire map to fuck your shit up.Some things in LID deserve to be put in more hack n slash souls games. It's dark souls 2 ganks with enemies on crack, cocaine, steroids and they also drank a whole pot of coffee by themselves.
>>747554654These creepy molesters
>>747558863to illustratehttps://youtu.be/sCT8FZ_JDTchere the player knows how to guard and perfect guard still it's breaking equipment. Now you can imagine how it goes when there's multiple of them and you're not familiar with the attacks. Or when they're assisted by various enemies like a bullet tuber.
>>747558183These kinds of overly grotesque designs do nothing for me. They're extremely elaborate, but the fact that they're bespoke video game assets almost always mean that you see those elaborate models again and again, without variance, which draws attention to how artificial it is. I hate to use the phrase, but it insists upon itself, and that insistence violates my immersion.A truly unnerving enemy unnerves you not by how it looks, but how it behaves. Even in a game that's all about visceral aggression, >>747557564 are terrifying because they're so abnormally fast and spastic - and they're not even beasts.The big dogs and birds in Caelid are also a good example. Like runebears and lobsters, they're two of the only enemy types that can easily knock you off of Torrent. The dogs are usually preoccupied with eating and are only a threat if you alert one of the white ones that alerts the others, but the birds are perched, waiting for a tasty morsel to ride by. Torrent is usually a safety blanket in the open world, letting you either avoid or escape from any enemy you don't want to engage with, but the birds hunt you down like prey. If that wasn't bad enough, they even pretend to be staggered, to throw you off even more.
>>747559403And just so I'm not exclusively glazing FromSoft, I've always felt like >>747558724 is a really good concept for an enemy (a humanoid being puppeteered by a spider) that's sort of ruined by how needlessly grotesque / grimdark the humanoid half is.
Those fuckers.
>>747554654This motherfucker from Soul Sacrifice Delta. Mainly when it opens its eyes near the end.
>>747554654would
>>747560187What the fuck?
>>747554654Is this a sex demon?
>>747554892Covid was a special time because nearly everyone experienced the same things in this game. So when someone came to work all pissed off you knew it was because they'd opened the trap chest.
>>747557242yeah...
Hello.
>>747557676>top surgeryVery progressive.
>>747560187Neck down looks like my dad
>>747554654I still haven't beaten the game once because of my crippling phobia of sn*ils. I will actually freeze up and need to step away from my computer and in one case I was in a cave and actually had to close my eyes and mash attack and when I found out I wasn't done I fucking alt tabbed and closed the game. It's a very real fear and I know it's irrational but no matter how many times I tried to go at it I just couldn't overcome my fear. It got to the point where even leaving the game and playing something else I still had residual fear at anything remotely sl*g like.
I know it's basic, but having an "enemy" be screaming for help and knowing how they're in extreme agony the whole time is probably best executed here. Other times I see it, it's people being mind-controlled or something and they're crying or it's the protag's loved ones or something like that. For HL2, it's just some guy who is effectively dead but can only wish that was the case. On the bright side, there's no moral quandary in shooting them since there's a 0% chance of saving these poor bastards.
>>747557661>Oh and everything suddenly hits like a truckYou're underleveled. You're supposed to go to the lakes first.
The lopers from Return to Castle Wolfenstein were spooky

>>747554847Cute boy!
>>747562335these guys weren't unnerving, more just frustrating. making you waste your precious bullets just so you don't get suicide-bombed.
>>747557676That's from that little girl lesbian horror game right? For the PS2.
>>747554654Built for GMAD
>>747559027The first time I heard the scream my blood ran cold lmao. Good times.
>body horror kinos in your direction
These fucks in genshin. They are not classified as enemies, hence battle music won't start when it starts attacking. And it doesn't have its own sounds. It floats in complete silence and shoots you, worse when it appears from behind. Unnerving is the right word for them - they are not scary at all, just triangle flying constructs. But complete lack of audio tell really gets me.
>>747562550>only 1 headcrabThat fucker got off easy. The poison headcrab zombies are even more unnerving.
>>747556210>I wish I provided more value to the shareholders...>>747558118>>747558261>>747564624I remember shouting "what the fuck is that?!" the first time I saw a centaur. Fallout body horror kino is right. Being turned into a supermutant gives me the jeeblies.
These things are my worst nightmare
>>747554654COME TO DADDY
For me it's the abductor virgins. Those fuckers haunted me in my sleep.The ghosts from Silent Hill 4 also. Their behavior freaks me out, the sounds and animations.>>747564010Qrd on Siren? Always here it's one of the creepiest games ever.
>>747554765the neat part is you can get their spell but its locked behind the end of the most egrigous example of fromsoft npc quest design via reloading milicent's quest area every time you meet her lspell is really funny because it fucks over bosses who tend to have obnoxious camera tracking due to their size like fire giant and elden beast
>>747558963>put the berry down or else...
>>747554892caelid is such a cool area aesthetically. Shame there's really not much there and it doesn't have a proper "legacy dungeon", so it just becomes "the morrowind lookalike that you quickly run through and ignore everything in"
>>747558724I'm still convinced that tseldora is a vague homage to RE4. You start off in a backwater village, get attacked by peasants with pickaxes who also set boulder traps for you. Then you continue down through a weird church with spider symbols everywhere. Past that you descend into a mining area where some of the villagers are literally being mind controlled by parasitic spiders who have embedded themselves into the spines of the villagers.
>>747557564the first time seeing them and thinking "ah, another slow zombie type of guy" and then he runs at you with that japanese ghost flicker movement while shrieking his lungs out and hitting like a truck was certainly an experience
>>747566609It's certainly plausible
>>747554654I look like that>I dont know what everyone's RAVEN aboot.. that tarnished can suck my CAW-CAWck!!
>>747566758>that tarnished can suck my CAW-CAWck!!
>>747562008These things and the hands from DS3
>>747566609The Duke was literally Umbrella when you think about it. The player is just a S.T.A.R member discovering the mess Umbrella made for its research by sending zombies to dig where they shouldn't.

elden ring has some cool overworld enemies. Shame the overwhelming majority of them are completely pointless when the open world means yo ucan just sprint past them or take a wide berth around them.
https://youtu.be/7YUU4FHsw9w?si=7DBUIQpUUuA_ZHyJ
>>747569879that's the problem with a lot of open world games. MGSV is the same where you can avoid a lot of the sneaking in the game that way despite the series being known for stealth gameplay
>YOU DO NOT HEED HIS CALL
>>747554692Marco Pierre White?
>>747570000That's a really bad example because stealth is always optional in MGS and it's still both viable and fun in MGSV.
>>747569879Yep. DS2 had ganks and enemies pursuing you to the end of the world. Casual niggers cried about it. Then DS3 happened after listening to fags and you've got infinite stamina, overpowered rolls and you can run past everything. It's time to apologize to Kino Souls 2.
>Random horror segment in a porn game
>>747564214This enemy must've been almost cut content, it's so barebones in what it can do
>>747569562The half that aren't aren't especially scary but to each their own.
>>747560323what the fuck went wrong with our lives that caused this
>>747570153amen
>>747554692keeping the flame lit, thank you
>>747564453Yeah, Rule of rose.
>>747570819currently playing Seeker of Fire 2.0 for DS2, its really fun, shoutout majula music
>>747570819I wasn't being ironic btw. Don't know if it's because I'm older or tired of nu souls but I'm enjoying dark souls 2 twice as much as I did elden ring right now. For reference I didn't touch DS2 since the day it got released. It's 10 bucks on the PS store so I thought why the fuck not. Having to commit to your action, stamina cost being high for everything, readable patterns/movements that aren't spastic anime bullshit, classic dungeon crawling with lot of cramped levels ( even in the optional dungeons of elden ring there's enough spaces in a corridor to cram in a truck ) it is such a breath of fresh air after open world dark souls 3... Game's ugly, Playstation 2 ugly in some places, yet I find it charming.
>>747556146I would never have interpreted them as wrestling outfits in a million years, what a weird decision
>>747570472It's not scary visually or thematically but mechanically. Keep in mind that in the context of pre-offline LID you had a lot of work to do to climb the floors if you refused to pay ( real money ). The game used sadistic traps and enemies to beat you and make you spit money, and after doing a hard floor and trying to find an elevator or escalator you'd get adrenaline surges seeing the bird like faggots walking around. Because you lose all the material you carry, weapons, blueprints and your fighter after death ( sending material to your "safehouse" was also a real money service ).
>>747573063i'm not either, I feel the exact same way 100%. DaS2 was the last "true" souls game. DeS/DaS1/DaS2 were an extension of the kings field series. They were dungeon crawlers that focused on methodical combat where you had to commit to your actions and manage your stamina. And the focus was on not losing your cool and not panicking, and taking things slowly as you progressed through areas so as not to fall for traps, get overwhelmed by too many enemies, etc. But instead you had all the Dark Souls 1 fans screeching and crying when they first played DaS2, presumably because they thought they could just breeze through the game like they did in DaS1 after learning the game inside and out, and got butthurt when the game told them "no, you need to take things slow, stay calm, and take it seriously back like you did when first playing DaS1". It was the last time there seemed to be any focus on the levels themselves actually being a source of overcoming challenge, rather than levels just being padding between rollslop boss rushes. And the DLC areas in particular are IMO the peak of the series with how they blended harrowing dungeon crawling with environmental puzzle-solving. It's a real shame the "fans" rejected DaS2 and all the good things it introduced were discarded entirely.

>>747566372That's sort of my issue with Liurnia too. Obviously it has the big Academy and the Carian Manor, but I don't find myself doing much of anything else here, just using it as a step for Leyndell
ding
>>747569941And somehow it gets even worse.
>>747566372It kinda does, but not in itself - it unlocks the Nokron-Moonlight Altar dungeon crawl.
>>747575470I mean sure, but that's a different area. Probably my favorite area, but it's not caelid and doesn't have caelid's aesthetic. Caelid as an actual location just gets completely underutilized.
>>747569040I had a magazine with those fucks in the cover and ended up just tearing it out because it was too spooky.
>>747575593
>>747575620NTA but of all the places to finally utilize the poison swamp bullshit properly miyazaki doesn't do it with caelid. fucking whythat first step into caelid from the trap chest crystal cave is so fucking kinothen you can just ride out of that place with torrent like it's nothing. it should've been blight town levels of getting stuck
>>747570327Explain
>>747554654TR1 and 3 mutants terrified me as a kid. I hated how every game became lovecraftian horror in the end.
>>747554654>>747557564I'm surprised that no one has posted this one yet.
>>747555896Where does he work out?
>>747557564I was spooked at first but after learning they're called 'Madmans' i just laugh at them, fucking internet fucking every word i guess
>>747576380kek
>>747574635Well I think there was a misunderstanding between the devs and the fans. A sizeable amount of players got a bad impression of the game due to poor graphics and atmosphere. The credibility of the world takes a hit when the areas have the look of something coming from an unpolished beta version. And when the levels don't fit together organically the way they did in dark souls. As if it wasn't enough animations were done using motion capture, as opposed to beautiful made by hand animation work. It comes out as superficial but if the game received a graphical overhaul before release the reception would've been dramatically different. Because players didn't feel like sounding too vain they opted to bash the game on the gameplay online and not the visuals, this gave the wrong signals to fromsoft. Because the gameplay and level design are unquestionably superior to what came after. It's only a surface problem. Take the pile of rubbles blocking the way to the end, that's not a level design problem, it's a visual problem, and so it became a meme among dark souls 2 haters. All that is wrong with DS2 is the dressing itself, mechanically the game's undisputably great.
>>747574635Bloodborne still heeds the classic design philosophy of the series. It was the true last game that still had DeS/DS1 dna in it, alongside some considerably tough foes you just meet in the world instead of 95% of the challenge concentrated in the boss fight rooms.
another bloodborne gem never again will have three dozen horror movie-quality monsters in one game.
>>747573063I'm so glad I'm not easily influenced by the opinions of e-celebs. I enjoyed every hour of my 1k play time between DS2 and SotFS. I might even start a new character on my Deck thanks to you, anon.Enjoy!
These fuckers
>enemies employ the power of sound to scare you
MOTHERFUCKER
mainly the footstep sfx and the crawling animation is what freaks me out
>applies anal bleeding to your character
>>747578274Have fun. I can't believe I slept on it for so long because of anti DS2 posters. I'm sorry dark souls 2 for replying to volcano ladder posters.
>>747557564These and Winter Lanterns are insane.
>>747555734The sound they made is burned into my memory
>>747577132Even the issues of graphics aren't really justified. Yeah, there are some rough N64-looking areas in DaS2. But that's also true in both DeS and DaS1. I think this area of complaint just stems from the fact that DaS2 came out on 360/PS3 in 2014, a year after 8th gen consoles already released. That and the lighting got downgraded, but again, that stems from the game being designed for 7th gen. I think it's more to do with self-proclaimed souls veterans getting angry that DaS2 wasn't just 1:1 mechanically with the original game in the same way that DeS and DaS1 play and feel almost identical, and so they got upset they went back to being newbies who had to learn the game. But they acted like scrubs and cried about needing to learn something new, and so here we are.
This fella scared me

>>747587969>best video game experiences ever>very normal teleport to dangerous zone mechanicBrother what
>>747565852Siren's a funky stealth horror game made by a lot of the OG Silent Hill crew. The main gameplay gimmick is 'sightjacking'- you don't get a minimap (or even a map that shows your current location, in the first one, you have to navigate by a list of landmarks), and instead have to figure out where enemies are by looking through their eyes. It's also used for a lot of puzzles and stuff.
The imperfects from DS2. The giant mouth on legs with no eyes really unsettles me.
>>747554692Lol nice.

>>747554654The Librarians from Metro are both scary but also some of my favorite vidya enemies.The entire library level is also the most memorable part of 2033 by far, the librarians are just so odd looking and fighting them not by shooting but by doing an intense stare down battle is very original and surprising for a fps.Also the redux design is factually better. OG librarians just look like scary mutants, redux librarians are such a weird mix between humans and gorillas while also looking nothing like either makes them far more memorable.

Hate his face for some reason.
>>747587389Cursed Phnumerian Chalice can suck my nuts, fuck the fire dog and fuck amygadala.
>>747604791iirc the spiders are designed to move as groups so they are essentially like a fluid of sorts.It's horrifying.
>>747554692His answer of course:
>>747566372I don't think Miyazaki really knew what he was doing when he made this game open-world. He did a pretty decent job with the legacy dungeons (excessive graces and copy-pasted catacombs aside), but he didn't set-up nearly enough to do outside of them.
>>747604791how's the game so far anon? Do you like it? I'm still considering playing it myself
>>747554692He's coming to get you
I could make a monster scarier then all of these
>>747605193Centipedes too but in a different way. Since they move independantly but on a shared clock. Which kinda makes spiders move like centipedes and centipedes move like spiders.>>747605780I have 1500+ hours in this game, anon

>>747595156Best enemy in the game hands-down. First time you encounter them hits like nothing else, doubly so if you manage to stay unspoiled about their existance.Dead Space 2 was /v/ino.
>>747604163FUCK that segment where you need to fish around for the fucking doorknob in your inventory while this guy chases you.
>>747554654>>747554692You don't know how deep this goes.
>>747605504Every major zone needed to be condensed down. Less repasted dragons, tree spirits, night cavalrymen. Minor Dungeons should have been reduced in number AND connected to another area in the world or another legacy dungeon. Every zone or dungeon should have had unique enemies e.g. the giant crows and dogs should have been Caelid exclusive and Banished Knights/Exile Soldiers only found in Stormveil. The snow areas do not need to exist and Farum Azula is accessed via Caelid and a legacy dungeon found there. Since y’know its floating over that place.
>>747556052Didn't a JRPG do this first?
>>747594717Oof. Something similar happened to me when I played it, except when I fell, I looked back and got jumpscared by it. I'll never forget that moment.
>>747566968>>747586451>>747586525I hate the noise those things make. Scared the shit out of me even before I saw them.
>>747558724>>747559453The original concept for DaS was that Qualagg was birthing demonic spiderlings that latched themselves to hollows to mount them like parasites.Eventually, due to the nature of the chaos flame, the spiderlings would fuse with the hollows resulting in the Cragspider enemy, which if you look closely has human anatomy like a featureless head and human hands.Because the spider jockey hollow was cut, they ported it over to two though I feel like it doesn't exactly make as much sense given they're just big spiders (enhanced by Seath's Soul?) and not chaos demons.
>>747604934I thought I was the only one unnerved by Paarl's face. I'm glad there's someone else who feels the same way.
>>747604934>>747609017It's likely because it's visibly a human face so you despite how distended the creature is you can still see a glimmer of the man it used to be
Ecco the dolphin had a scary boss. Which comes out of no where for a pretty chill and quiet game.Thankfully no one in their right mind actually played Ecco the dolphin to completion and saw the final thing.
>>747609618so despite*
>>747609637No, they did not stop their nightmare fuel in the sequel either.
The animation when you beat one and they kind of spin into themselves and disappear is so creepy
>>747606185It's actually the best spell in the game against large bosses like elden beast, dragons, etc. Absolutely deletes their healthbar. Not that good against small agile targets.
>>747554765I like how the Rotipedes in the Shadowlands are chill and friendly
DeSPIRIA (a super obscure RPG for the Dreamcast I watched a video on once) has a plethora of exceptionally screwed up looking enemies.Pic related is just the tip of the iceberg.
>>747609637Nothing in Ecco is scarier than Ecco.
>>747611847It’s a fucking crime that all people will remember of Ecco now is that obnoxious little Scrappy Doo faggot spoof of him from GameOverse.
>>747567105You are becoming hysterical.
>>747611967Never watched it, I just know Dolphins rape, even heroic dolphins.
>>747611847Sharks attack you by accident and most of the time want to leave you alone unless you're bothering them.Dolphins can drown and rape you
>>747612360>>747612286Guys, I just wanted to show that ecco the dolphin has some fucked up shit in it, doesn't help that it's music is errie as fuck.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUDOgKp1_eU&list=PLErsx10Ke4ux9zzGPKotAAvV5nGGkMQsM&index=4Please do not derail the thread into discussion of the morality of dolphin rape.
>>747610765After playing Signalis I still don't know what that thing is supposed to be. I understand there is some kind of radiation sickness that makes the androids melt, but how the fuck does a normal-looking tall girl become THAT?

>>747613337What I wouldn't do for a proper sequel, or for that first person mod to be finished
>>747613057None of the monsters/antagonists are real, and the events of the game never actually transpired. it’s all the hallucinations of the MC’s girlfriend.She’s apparently some kind of super psychic that can alter even the perceptions of robots like the MC, and the ship they were travelling on suffered an real radiation leak that also left the vessel stranded.In a last ditch effort to keep her alive, the MC put her cryostasis to slow down her radiation poisoning. All the monsters/decay are a result of her mental powers going wild as she slowly dies from radiation in stasis.
>>747586451I found those guys really silly desu>dude what if there was a hand monster>BUT IT WAS COVERED IN EYES??>wouldn't that be scary lol
>>747554654I would
>>747586451>Tatz trooned out really fucking sad I liked this guys unique editing and music for his count down videos especially as a kid
I don't find animals(close enough to real life ones at least) particularly scary but this mf actually made my heart race, I was even unconsciously dodging irl. Maybe the small halls and rooms with a monster almost as big is one of the reasons why shit was so scary
>>747613657Glad I never played this
>>747558261Trvke
How does Miyazaki do it?
>>747554654These things scared the shit out of me as a kid
>>747562335Cyborg Midwives were the creepiest.
>>747570334Strangest thief mod ive ever seen
>>747575432I still dont know what these are even. Actual mindflayers? Or people taken over by a parasite on their head?
>>747614865Yeah it’s a really fucking lame twist that also completely clashes with meticulous alternate history world building the game drip feeds you.Unfortunately, the lead dev is (/was?) in deep with the LGBTQ+ community so you couldn’t point this out back when it was relevant or you’d get cancelled.
>>747589834Yes very. They definitely dialled it back in Skyrim with draugr

>>747616416You missed it scroll up.
>>747558261I am a weak willed bitch that can't play horror games but I never even considered these guys scary, they looked wayyy too goofy for that. Maybe it's because fallout can't be scary due to graphics and animation
>>747616572>I am a weak willed bitch that can't play horror gamesNo such thing. There are unironically zero actually scary horror games besides maybe PT but that isn't a real game. Most games are just action games with horror paint like Resident Evil. Any male over 13 should be able to handle it.

>>747562008The giant one on the ice mountains is fucked up bro, i get scared even fighting that shit
>>747617154Debatable, Mensis Brain is also unsettling but never attacks and just kind of exists. Winter Lanterns actively try to corner you and have a fuck ton of health so you can’t just cut through them.
>>747588713their writhing skin reminds me of prototype 1
>>747600968For me it was this one, i remember seeing one running in the distance on the fog labyrinth on the Sanitarium and i just turned the game offfirst these fuckers are hard as fuck to kill in melee and they hit hard(they can also tank lots of bullets)second i got scared really hard
>>747561676elden ring released in 2022, poser
>>747554654Most unsettling enemy i ever saw in a game, dude is passive when you can see him up close but just the way he is and the black void that you find is scary as fuck, at least he gives a great rune
>>747569040maybe it's because i was a bit too young to playing these games when they came out, but sh4 creeped me out a shit ton more than the first 3 did
>>747554765The church just a bit before Malenia is fucked up, you fight the big and small fuckers and they both fucking hurt
>>747562335where. are you. going...?
>>747617737That being said, Elden Ring really was so pervasive that coworkers who would usually never touch something like that were hopping on it. I worked at a warehouse at the time and gave advice to someone I worked with (who mainly just liked gacha games) to get through the game easier. Apparently was a hit with black people too. Kinda like a newgen skyrim
Jurassic park traumatized me as a kid
There is something deeply evil about these sentient cubes. I always expected them to not stop where they usually do and crush me
>>747618626the cube boss in Remnant 2 freaked me out just like this did back as a kid
>>747606578>chalice dungeons were so comfyNo
>>747557564I was wondering wtf that was but from the comments i assume it was chalice dungeon exclusive, hell i should have played them, chalice dungeons got so much exclusive stuff that it looks like another whole half of the game
>>747618815filtered, chalice dungeons were awesome. The only truly shitty part were the boss fights that were overtuned to shit and one-shot you no matter how much vigor you had
>>747564524These fuckers are so freaky.
>>747618814cubes are inherently evil
>>747554654is she ok?
The giant stripping chicken in Chicken Invaders 2.
>>747554692At first I didn’t get it Then I got it and got mad Thanks fag
>>747614865You're taking that anon theory for granted, but the most widely accepted explanations don't support the idea of it being all a dream. The world in Signalis is more akin to Bloodborne's, where people uncovered a lovecraftian artifact that got their consciousness sent off to a pocket dimension merging reality with the protag gf's cancer striken nightmare once her psychic signal reached through it. The most obvious clue is that she has never been to the game's facility to be able to dream its every detail, lore notes and replikas. Reading king in yellow makes it easier to understand
>>747597830>>747598364Outlast Trials, the alarm that happens when she spawns fills me with instant dread
>>747555734The bats in this scared me too.
>>747579938At least you get some satisfaction once you are finally are able to beat them without too much trouble.
>>747562008The first time I saw a giant one coming up from the ground like a giant spider was great for spooking me.Still don't understand what they actually are lore-wise though. The DLC kind of tried to explain it but I don't know why they'd be all over Ranni's house
>>747585336>this is what Oceiros wanted create more of
>>747557676Rule of Rose was great at everything except the actual gameplay
>>747562008Those human bat things creeped me out more.
>>747554692thank godI'm so tired of ctrl+f'ing these threads to find zero results and needing to post it myself
>>747619889FUCK that cave with 2 of them, i was luck that i killed one before the other jumped down because holy fuck these dudes got some horrific attacks
>>747619889>that double shark fight under the wellI'll never forgive Miyazaki for that fucking bullshit
>>747561676Wow us gamers amirite??
I played WoW before I played Warcraft III and the Undead genuinely unnerved me when I first played it. They never really quite captured that in WoW.
>>747619593People speculate before the DLC that they were intended to be some sort of creation of Rykard. This is backed by the Ringed Finger hammer, found in the Gelmir Hero Grave, which states the weapon was severed from an ancestor of the Finger Creepers in an ancient act of blasphemy.The hands resemble Rykard's own ring covered and fucked up hands as well.They would have been at Rannis due to her alliance with Rykard in committing blasphemy as muscle.However the DLC changed a lot. The Finger Creepers were established as malformed children of Metyr, seemingly serving as her field agents as opposed to the stewardship role of her Two Fingers children.This changes the context of the Ringed Finger to more or less imply it was the severing of the finger that was blasphemy, rather than what was likely before alluding to some sort of blasphemous self-mutilation ritual.Likewise all the places the Finger Creepers are at tend to be places involving characters that conspire against Metyr, meaning Ranni and Rykard. There are finger creepers in Leyndel Sewers perhaps investigating Mohg due to his meddling with the Nox. Not sure why they are in the mountain tops of the Giants in either case though.
>>747619654I think those guys may have originally been intended to been experiments leading to the cut "Angel of Dragons" before they re-shuffled. Now I think its more a result of the prisoners converting to dragon ascendancy like Islam in prison.
>>747614775Uncanny lol
>>747619330Thanks for the explanation, that does sound a little better, but I'm really more of a smash the monster in the face with a big rock kind of guy. I don't want to hear about trauma dimensions and shit.
>>747620243Abominations were just blizzard trying to make a sanitized, cartoony Unclean One.
You know, a lot of unnerving enemies have a face that people would now immediately associate with the soi face, but I think the reason why that face became a meme is because it IS unnerving. It’s just weird for someone to open their mouth as wide as possible. That’s why it’s considered cringe, because it’s creepy.
I hope there's something good in this barr- OH CHRIST ON A CRACKER OH NO HELP NO NO NO NO AAAAAHHHHHHH>Red Warrior has died
Tzimisce and their creations in general are like this.
>>747621029AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>747616131>enemy is formerly human that was painfully mutated or transformed because they became consumed by their rage and hatred I know this one isn't permanent but I love when it is permanent and they destroy their form because they lost perspective, even for a moment, or as an unintended consequence of their evildoing. All the way back to Satan, rebelling from vanity and pride, only to gradually mutilate his fair form through his corruption until he was a beast.
>>747565139>be 6 years old>oh boy a game that comes on a CD?? How new!>the 3rd level that dumps you into a pool full of these fuckers
>>747556174these fuckers put the fear of god in you in EVERY game they show up, it's terrific
>>747621397Not a scary example but mister perfect human Wesker resorting to absorbing Uroboros because he's just that mad at Chris fits
>>747621397>I know this one isn't permanentFeel like it should have been, though, it shows him back as a human in the ending but I think that should have been him permanently destroying his Gerudo form and being stuck as the pig monster from LoZ and ATTLPsince most games since have concentrated more on Ganondorf more than Ganon
They fucking nailed this freaks unnerving, horrifying appearance. Those disgusting gurgling sounds still set me on edge
>>747554692I don't get it
>DUUUUUUUUUUUN
>>747616131>Enemy Type: Human
The meatballs from Shadow of the Erdtree are gross from afar but if you look close they're mutated cute girls. Same with the Grafted Scions. I don't like when cute girls are hurt
>>747622718>the meat ball/jar innards are marika's people the Shamans from the village that got butchered and grounded up into pots from a ritualistic genocide from the Hornsent >the Grafted Scions were mutilated children with tarnished and innocent people's limbs chopped off and fused together to serve as Godrick's minions christ
>>747623869For the Scions specifically I think they're the diluted 20th cousins twice removed of Godfrey's line that Godrick forced to graft to make his own Golden Lineage
>>747622718The Grafted Scions are actually boys not girls.Scions are typically male. Therefore they would be twinks.
>>747562550Think of it as you are putting them out of their misery by killing them. It helps me when i played hl
>>747560663To these guys exist in real life too
>>747564768I see. This is probably the first time I've learned anything about the gameplay of a gacha.
>>747554692:DD
these fucking bastards. i remember being a wee lad and playing soc. i went into a lab and what i fucking got was these. then i went to another lab, but at the precipe of it out under the open sky. still just as scary when i got ambushed by one.i couldn't sleep at all that night.
>>747554654>>747625212this fucking thing, worst enemy in the gameI shit myself when he starts pulling the gun up
>>747566651I-imagine the remake
I still remember the first time I encountered one of these and I didn't know what to do
>>747622718it's horrible, I agree
>>747625982god damn it japs why do you make me wanna fuck those things
>>747562008Scary? Guess you didnt test fire pots on them lol
I don't like RE6, but I must admit that the monsters had some kickass designs. This thing makes my skin crawl everytime. The weird cackling sounds it makes are unnerving and the way it moves is creepy.
>>747570153>if you don't eat stinking excrement like I do, you're a casual
>>747588421Name 3 games where that happens
>>747619556those things fucking freaked me out. i hated the creepy faces they had
>>747556210I’m a vegan because I don’t want to be a murde- ACK
The Tesla Manpig from Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs unnerved me in particular. I know it’s a horror game so it doesn’t really “count”, but I just found the Tesla pig particularly unnerving because it apparently got tested on so much that it repeatedly blinks in and out of reality, driving itself mad in the process. I just found it extra grim compared to the regular manpigs
>>747569941Brilliant enemy and use of it. I love that they occur just enough to not be annoying
>>747616131Systen Shock 2 Hybrids are the prime example for me>GRRRHHUUGG KILL MEEE
>>747554654I got killed by these once and just said yeah I’ve had my fill of souls likes and literally have not played one since. Been years. I don’t miss the iframe genre at all.
>Nobody posted it.
>>747629456I guess it's sorta unnerving.
these things
>>747554654Snagrets were pretty scary in the first two games especially as a kid.
>>747579938https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-o6NT90qnCc
>>747621345really? I always thought they looked goofy as fuck, and the fact that an old vampire is acting like he's genuinely disturbed by that retarded looking video was just ridiculous.
>>747632903Evil vacuum cleaners

>>747616131
>>747613357Does Ghoul Patrol not count? It even plays the same.The doom mod is amazing. Damn shame it only goes up to Mars Needs Cheerleaders. I wonder why they seem to have dropped it.

>>747619593She pissed the Fingers off something fierce and they raided her home, hunting her.
>>747600968SH got some of the best monster designs ever. Shit really looks like stuff from the deepest nightmares. Mumblers and Night Flutters are probably my favorite, same with Closer in SH3. I really hope they will do them justice in the remake.
>>747554692FPBP
headless > everything in ER
>>747557564These guys give me the same vibes as the Twitchers from Dead space 1.Any enemy is unnerving there but the Twitchers are something else because they aren't just fast they have different animation speeds,they are the only enemies in the entire game that do that
>>747567002Happy souls is a national treasure
>>747557564they're even more unpleasant when you see them up closehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QaEkOjLZXM
>>747587969Yeah. Frolicking around in Limgrave with sheeps and squirrels and sometimes a wolf or two, smoking bad crack and being teleported to the centipede Rape cave and when you finally get out you find out you are in Super Aids Australia is definitely one of my core gaming memories
This bitch looks exactly like my grandma. EXACTLY
>>747589702That's not from Dark Souls. It's from Pans Labyrinth. A Spanish movie. Creepy fucker.
>>747632903I kinda like the sound it makes when it walks though
>>747619320what's there to be mad about?why can't you normies just chill out for once
>>747586451>>747586525What's even worse is that these used to be women, apparentlyAlso the fucking house centipede things in that same area are genuinely uncomfortable to look at
>>747634692Such a perfect enemy design. The first encounter with one is fucking terrifying.
>>747554692Based
>>747617862I felt bad for killing him
>>747617862The heartbeat sound is pretty unnerving too.
>>747607938The Harpy from Vagrant Story?
>>747609618Makes sense, yeah.
>>747634692Peak horror enemy design. I'll never forget the first time I saw it.
I refuse to believe anyone is afraid of fromslop monsters, you fight them all the same
>>747554692I do NOT get it and I won't pretend that I do.
>>747633623
>>747616572I meant what I said, the scariest games I played before were stalker gamma and Bioshock, which are not scary at all. Currently trying to get through resident evil 2 to get more used to such games. Weirdly enough, I can watch any gore and horror movie no problem, but when playing games I immerse myself too much into them
>>747616717Was meant for you: >>747643405
The centipedes in sekiro. Both when it popped out of the monkey and when it bursts from the walking corpses.
>>747603246they're way worse in the book, that part is all of a sudden survival horror compared to most of the book which is just very grim action/adventure
>>747633245Well to be honest I was going to post a tzimisce boss like that one from the sewers or Vukodlok from Redemption, but the thread seemed to be more about regular enemies and I remembered that these guys were pretty creepy when I first met them or when they snuck up on me. Maybe War Ghoul's would be more appropriate.
My blood froze when the lights cut off.
>>747604653Posting the og copypasta is liable to get banned now so no fun allowed.
>>747644687Now that I think about it some more that one boss from the sewers became a regular enemy a bit later so I could have posted him.

It's hard to tell, but that's the warrior fuck in Enir Ilm. Ascetics are annoying too, but at least you can bruteforce them with enough fragments, these things though are everything bad about Elden Ring's design put into one enemy. I can't even get any closer than this to get a better picture because this fucker has a gigantic aggro range and immediately goes to kill.

Nothing in Elden Ring or Bloodborne had the same unnerving effect on me as the ring girl centipedes and giant spider monkeys in DS3
The fucking weird guys from Penumbra black plague legit almost gave me a heart attack, like I got to the part where you get the syringe and barricaded the door, then home boy breaks down the door, and legit it might have killed me if I was unlucky, I had like the scarlet fever when I was young.
