I keep thinking about how much I want to be able to summon them.... Go forth my spidery minions! Bring all the bodies, living or dead, to the Jarl's throne room!
I was pretty creeped out that first time. Also, every time a banshee ever picked me up and ended me in multiplayer. When I figured out how to avoid them, it was a beautiful day...
I was about to make a comment on the reapers but yeah, banshees are fuel for nightmares. The first time I saw one of those in ME3 I was like "I should go"
In my first play through of arkham City on ps3, penguin's area threw me for a shocking surprise when I was trying to traverse the patches of ice when all of a sudden a giant great white shark broke through the ice and attack Batman. Not gonna lie, it took me quite sometime to clear that part of the game. In Skyrim, I'm not fond of chorus or the reapers but I can handle anything else in the game.
Those Night Folk savages from Red Dead 2. *Scared the bejesus outta me.* Especially that encounter with the crying white lady on the swamp in the middle of the freakin' night. Even a total badass like Arthur Morgan couldn't help but to be creeped out. Disgusting things.
I remember when I was playing by the swamps, I tried calling my horse (which I left a bit far from where I am) and realized she didn’t came to me even I am still within the whistle range. At first I thought my horse was bugged because the horse icon just stood there on my minimap so I went to check on her and there was two night folks holding my horse down. They were using her as a bait in order to make me come to them. After I shot those two a bunch them come at me from the fogs and trees.
@@lol96uaz That's pretty cool. This game is something else One time, they had someone hanging from a tree so I stare at it to see if it was something I could do, then a group of them attack out of nowhere followed by a black bear attack I barely made it alive because the police also wanted me dead or alive in Saint-Denis. It was pretty intense.
This. I can never forget that night. The moment her other "comrades" slaughtered me out of nowhere. That was the moment i stopped roaming around at night on that area, unless it's a quest.
@@deathbykonami5487 especially since they used to one hit you on harder difficulties! Uncharted 2 was also great though, my favourite in the series by far
No Brood Mother? She is insanely scary and how she comes to be is pure horror. Plus, you've been underground for a long time when you get to that part in Dragon Age: Origins.
So true! I hated the deep roads maps. I felt trapped and scared and then you suddenly hear a survivor whispering, telling this horror story of her own experience and you end up right in front of a brood mother. The whole thing haunts me up to this day.
My first ever playthrough of Fallout 3 wasn't even really a playthrough because of those things. I refused to go into metro tunnels, near the coastline or into anything that looked like some kind of sewer for fear of being mauled by a monstrosity.
For the longest time I was more scared of mirelurks than deathclaws. I can still remember walking up to that river in Fallout 3 and a mirelurk rising out of the water and immediately taking my head right off. I was fresh out of the vault. I’d stopped by Megaton and thought I’d do some exploring. Bad idea.
oh man, I would say the only creatures who actually "Scared" me when I first encountered them, was "The Flood" in Halo. When you first go into the base and go down and find the guys helmet, trying to figure out whats going on, having no idea whats coming. And his playback just shows some terrifying encounter but not really revealing the monsters. And then suddenly all the freaking flood come out scamping on the floor and literally flooding the area. That whole encounter was just perfectly done, it was actually terrifying. Absolutely one of my favorite moments in gaming.
Sealed the deal on making Halo memorable if it wasn't before. Such an amazing setup. Shame the library is right after it. But yeah brilliant introduction.
I could not agree more, once I go past a few 100 meters my heartrate just skyrockets automatically. The sound in that game tho could also be from a horror game in so many places, so much ambiance
Just... The Leviathan's *face* alone is nightmare fuel. Hearing it in the distance as it came closer was enough to have me avoid the area for a while, lol.
I remember turning around and seeing it right behind me the first time.I panic and jet to the surface only to be pushed out of the water by the Reaper Leviathan jumping out of the water after me.
The mission was also good at showing that Batman is a detective. The moments when you analyse the bodies combined with the music just adds to how cool Batman is.
The sharks in ac4. Not because they’re designed to be particularly scary, I’m just afraid of the ocean and they play right into my deepest fears. Also the giant squid Easter egg almost made me soil myself.
Horizon Zero Dawn that Frostclaw scared me because I had gotten a good feeling of the creatures. What do you do about a giant fast movie mechanical polar bear that sets things on fire? I got past it man it was tough!
oh yeah those bears were relentless, at first i thought oh these guys cant be tougher than a t-rex with rocket launchers, well i was all kinds of wrong
While not exactly a "creature", Death in Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen is easily the most terrifying version of the stereotypical reaper, especially in the dark sewer area where the water puts out your lantern's light, so the only visible light is that of Death's lantern as he hunts you. He generally can't be killed except by endgame specialized builds (Ricochet Hunter OP), can put you to sleep, and can one-hit kill you, so you have to just run, but he can also teleport ahead of you, freaking you out even more.
I'm petrified of Tonberries. That moment in FFXIII when I was about to fight the monstrous Cieth and the Tonberry one-shotted him and turned those dead-but-somehow-all-seeing eyes on me, I squealed.
@@roxasdrayheart5561 Tonberries while getting odin in FF8 drove me crazy they started in ff8 on sony never knew why Nintendo sold those rights. Their lost
@@roxasdrayheart5561 I love how they are in ff15 they shuffle about and you're like sweet they're slow I can avoid them pretty easy and about 5 seconds in the summon a 10 foot long sword of darkness and backflip across the battlefield and the speed of light instakilling your pals 😂 I underestimated him so much lol
Andy Q that scream that freezes Link in his place while they’re slowly walking towards him. But the one that takes the cake is that fat one with all the hands and the big teeth in oot
Ocarina of Time Majora’s Mask Twilight Princess Breathe of the wild All had terrifying enemies, bosses, and villains. Not gonna lie, but the mummies from BOTW are really creepy. I hated having to interact with them. 😖
You know it is coming when the gentle, ambient music suddenly turns into a full 95 piece orchestra hell bent on actually paying attention to their director, something that only happens in videogames.
The Dark Cloud 2 mimics and king mimics are precisely why I always, ALWAYS, open chests from behind. It gives you some precious seconds to try and wipe them out before they can strike or run the heck away and op from long.
There's no such thing as too careful in Dark Souls, Red Sea. I don't care if a coiled chain means safety I'm still giving it a smack. Dethstorm35, I'm sure they did it so that it'd match the first game's title.
Oh yes I remember her that disgust decayed monstery of being as her huge body and those damned tenales you had to careful and of course not mention you best having two mages with you as both can health you faster and of course oghern hilarious dirty minded dwarf and that not mention that arch demon which meet never ending army sherkiers all sorts and also you use catapults to defeat that arch demon and as trying to keep your team alive as well oh my god stress as I remember it but I did complete it was not easy
Bonus: unexpected jumpscare plus giant gross spider. I'm looking at you, Jedi: Fallen Order. I was in party chat when the first wyyyschokk, unseen up to this point, leapt out of nowhere and tackled me. I screamed, my friends laughed.
I was sitting watching that, a nice low-key heart-to-heart between sisters, at my computer, headphones on, leaning forward, then BAM. Took a year off my life.
Thank you Rob and playstation access team. In these difficult and scary times you manage to keep my mind of the problems and have a laugh. Sincerely Ricardo Cruz from Portugal Stay safe
Personally the scariest part of Final Fantasy 7 was having to go underwater for the first time with that damned music and emerald weapon wandering about like he owns the damn place, doesn't help that I'm terrified of the ocean
I so thought you were gonna talk about Scarecrow when you got to Batman... and when I saw a shot of that diner :P The creatures from a non-horror game that scare me the most have to be the Skulls from MGSV though... I still scream every time they come after me xD
Tonberries specifically for me FF9. A turn based RPG until they come along and all they do is slowly move towards you until they get close at which point they stab your characters killing them instantly. I fled from them everytime they showed up while playing as a kid.
The magitek in chapter 13 of FFXV. Honestly the first time I played it and the seemingly dead magitek sprung up on me from the ground my heart momentarily stopped.
Me on the final entry: "Something's gonna scare me... something's gonna scare me..." Camera pans and something is behind Batman. "AH!" *Realizes it's a building. "Oh..." -_-
Heading in to visit Psycho Mantis with that haunting music and Meryl asking you if you like her, is hands down as creepy as anything I've seen in a survival horror
The Man in the Wall from Warframe is probably the most terrifying thing I've ever seen in a game that's not a horror game: you're used to being practically a god in that game, he appears in the only place that's supposed to be completely safe (your ship), and he has such a low chance to appear that when he does, you're never ready. Scares the hell out of me every time.
@@deaf_swap0047 no I mean the game that has midgar zolom will come out in 3 years. You do know the game is being split dont you. Also the original ff7 takes like 50-60 hours to beat not that long
The boys of silence from Bioshock Infinite. The one who stands right behind you, when you go pull a lever. You turn around and is face to face with the damn thing😵.
@@deon_strydom_00 The worst I would have to say are the freaking Labyrinth Sages in the chalice dungeons. Their speed and the way they move is just wrong. They aren't the most fucked up looking thing in the game by far, but everything else about them makes them absolutely terrifying.
@@WinglesDragonin terms of bosses, I have never feared a boss fight as much as Ludwig in the dlc. Just seeing him drop down for the first time and looking at him I nearly shat myself, not to mention the orphan of kos. Some of the most scary, most intimidating boss fights I've ever had. But bloodborne's whole design and lore overall is so messed up and scary in a way but that's also what I like about it
Man thats so true when you try swat a wasp an it just keeps getting closer to your face with every one. What started off as a defiant swat ends with you turning on your heel ducking and running
"That bit in the car from Haunting of Hill House...." Was watching that with my eleven year old daughter and had read the episode synopsis. I knew it was coming and still made the pair of us jump like we'd had a bolt of lightning up the jacksy.
@@hgjfkd12345 I know your opinion is valid, given you have the perfect gentleman professor Layton and his charming apprentice Luke as your profile picture. Good taste.
The butler in the tomb raider game always scared me shitless, I don‘t really know why though. Maybe because he was just always following you silently and slowly. Even shooting him didn‘t work! Damn bulletproof foodplate. I always tried to lure him into the big fridge and then lock him up in there so I could enjoy the mansion on my own.
Commenting before watching the video but also can't see anyone else choosing this. The androids in Detroit Become Human - not just the creepy ones in the junkyard/android graveyard either. The bit on the boat genuinely scared the shite out of me, and then that bit with the factory full of them. I don't know why but even writing it makes my teeth itch
I will never forget the feeling I got the first time I experienced the Manbat jump scare. I was playing Arkham Knight by myself, late at night, in the dark, fully enjoying the Batman experience, totally used to the Joker popping up, but when I pulled myself up on that ledge and he screeched his way into the screen, I nearly threw the controller at the TV and screamed myself. I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU ROCKSTEADY.
Those frogs that petrify you in Dark souls. It wont help that you got scared by a creature that seems to have balloons for eyes, but after you "died" theres a second nasty effect that wont go away unless you use the correct item, that happens to be quite rare and expensive to get in the first place
You mentioned unexpected jumpscares there, Rob - and nothing comes close to the boy of silence in Bioshock Infinite - that first introduction to this guy made me permanently scared of them.. I think it's on point for this list, lol :P
I think the most horrifying thing about the headcrabs is the fact that you actually hear the human still moaning in pain. So it is quite possible the human is still alive, in great pain still somewhere there, but unable to do anything about the crab on the head...
