How come video games don't scare me in the slightest, but any mediocre horror movie makes me not be able to sleep comfortably for 2 straight nights? Anything that is slightly supernatural like a girl with long hair makes me shit my pants, but no video game has ever scared me. Are games just inferior in this regard?

go play Ufophilia and report back

Maybe it's because games give you some sense of control, even if it is just running away most of the time. Or maybe you're just not too invested/immersed in the story.
The thing about horror is that the atmosphere is extremely important. It's one thing to watch a horror movie alone at night in a completely silent room, and it's another to watch it with a bunch of friends all joking around and shit, so maybe you feel that the atmosphere of the gaym is off.

who?

>>748262241
I'm all alone playing Outlast 2 in the middle of the night and I'm not scared at all. Maybe there are some genuinely scary games out there?

Are you "playing" the games on YouTube console?

Games aren't scary anymore
Movies aren't scary anymore.
Do I have to elevate to those, pay people to kidnap you things, to get scared?
>>

>Maybe there are some genuinely scary games out there?
Some suggestions of 'horror' games in various styles, maybe you can find one that you like
>alone in the dark 1
>resident evil 1 ~ 4
>amnesia
>silent hill 1 ~ 3
>dead space
>fatal frame
>FNaF?
These are the ones that come to mind, anyway. Fuckin alone in the dark 1 used to scare me shitless back in the day, although the graphics are gameplay are extremely dated by today's standards.

I genuinely have no idea how that is even possible, OP. Do you treat video games as a joke? Have you ever immersed yourself in a game and completely stopped thinking about everything else and the real world? Entered another world with your mind? Horror games are significantly more scary than Horror movies. I can barely play a single horror game, because I just get too immersed.

>How come video games don't scare me in the slightest
For people with imaginations (a dwindling minority), fear is what you do NOT see; and because games are a gawdy form of entertainment that has to reveal all its cards, you've seen everything and nothing is left to the imagination.
>>
>>748265192
I'm the opposite. I don't trust myself to make good decisions in a horror setting so I get more scared. I think it's more of a self esteem issue
>>
>>748264858
>I can barely play a single horror game, because I just get too immersed.
Same. I do like to watch gameplay videos or someone else playing it and me commenting about it, but I can't play it myself.
>>
>>748261981
Have you played FEAR? It's mostly an action game, but there's a creepy girl with long hair haunting you the whole game.
>>
>>748265467
Alma used to scare me as a kid, but i recently replayed fear and there was a slight tightening of the sphincter, but nothing comparable to any shitty supernatural horror movie
>>
>>748261981
I would say it's probably just lack of control. Even in shit like Outlast, even if your only options are running or walking, you can always pause the game, at any time. Camera control too, for the most part. Next time you watch a Horror movie, keep the remote (or I guess mouse if you're streaming on PC) in your hand and see if the same thing happens. Alternatively, are you also scared shitless by animated horror? It might be your mind can easily or naturally disbelieve any horror that is computer generated or animated as false, but your mind reacts to live action horror as if it's real. Like a visceral, instinctive reaction.

You really listing RE4 as a scary game? Really?

Can't be just that, though, as VR horror games are even more intense than movies.

I've started to realize that immersion is actually another video game skill that is just as valuable as something more mechanical like aim or game knowledge
