Guitar LInc0ln Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Why are people still posting in this thread? OP made up their mind back on Page 1... last year. Maybe because it's not closed yet?? And why not? Others also should have a chance to tell their opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skilled Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 (edited) If you want scary play amnesia. 'Nuff said. I jumped a few times playing Alan Wake though. Edited October 9, 2011 by Skilled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spookyhurst Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I am a serious wimp, and don't like anything in the way of scary. Unfortunately, I still have a morbid curiosity for such things. I finished the 1st episode of Alan Wake tonight, and it's not too bad. However, I'm playing with the sound really low, which lessens the tension quite a bit. Lights off and sound up would likely give me nightmares! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadsea17 4 ever Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 It's really only mildly scary, but if you play it at night, with the lights off, it gets like twice as freaky. But thats just my opinion idk if it was like that for anyone else. Thats how I played it. Thats why I voted Scary. Scariest game since I played Dead Space. Its a neat game too, if you can't trust your neighbors then who ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polyamorous99 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I thought it was pretty scary. I haven't beaten the game, this is the first game I've ever played like this. I like it so far though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuSt BLaZe Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 [x] Midly Scary I had my shocking moments, even in the DLCs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeB Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I voted "mildly scary" because I thought "scary at times" was being too modest. I was creeped out/paranoid about 90% of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havock DoUrden Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 The whole horror of this game is how the enemies just appear out of the forest. I wonder how the recently announced sequel will improve upon this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vectorman953 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 The scariest part of the game, for me, was done by accident. I was in complete darkness, surround sound up real loud because my roommates were out, and playing while wrapped in a blanket with my girlfriend, because we're poor and heating costs cash money playa I was searching for chests in one of the woodsey portions of the game, and came up to a shack. I was just staring at the wood paneling because my girlfriend had gone to make hot chocolate, and I heard footsteps in the game. I looked around in every direction - nothing. Weird. I went into the little shed, nothing to be found, not even ammo. Stepped outside, and was looking at the wood paneling again, while conversing with the GF. Heard more steps in game. Turned to my left, giant taken right there. Seriously screamed like a little girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GloatingSwine Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 It's about as scary as a particularly inoffensive kitten. If the game ever does threaten to get tense, Alan will open his stupid gob and ruin it with some dumbass narration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltimatesWaffle Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 The game was rather repetitive, so it became predictable after a while. I found it scary at times during the first chapter or two, but then I kinda just wanted to get through the game, so I wasn't into it as much.

hydrosugar Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I'm not finding it scary, but then again I desensitized to the point nothing not grounded in reality fails to scare me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsaneKane87 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 If you're the type who literally puts themselves in the game, then you're in for one hell of a ride. It really does screw with your mind and can make you feel paranoid. This is how I am when I play most games but mostly games like this. There have been times I will hear something and just freeze pointing my flashlight all over the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xzibitionist Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 It is scary. be sure to play in a dark room, turn lights off and pull the curtains across (preferably heavy dark curtains). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cammulder Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Yep, playing with the lights off definitely helps create the mood needed to enjoy this game. I'm not usually easily frightened, but I sure needed to take some breaks while playing to remind myself that "it's just a game." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HugTheBear Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 This game freaked me out for some reason. Wilderness, darkness, wind, creepy noises all kinda mixed together and did it's job in creeping me out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloudCircus Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Hell yes it is scary -- it is pitch black and you are in the woods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedgz Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 at times scary, but since i'm not really into that, this game has enough of a scare factor for me. it isn't actually a horror game, it just, as my friend put it, gave me a mindjob.

Negative Creep Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I wouldn't say it was scary, although there were a few startling moments. It's more creepy than anything else in the way the Taken mere from the background, and those brief moments of uncertainly as to whether that thing in the mist is an object or a baddie, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninja Eagle Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 It's not a "scary" game, it's a psychological thriller, which is kind of like a mindf***! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkazhar Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Like all horror games, when you have figured out its mechanics, its no longer scary. But Alan Wake does a good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdseye Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 For me ( person easily scared by horror games ) It was surprisingly... mild at lest at the beginning. After that it really scared me - not by cheap jump scares but by "Stephen King" like story and this atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suedon70 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 There were several times a Taken would jump out of the shadows and I'd go "whoa!" but other than that it wasn't too bad. Just finished the first play-through the other day - great game:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
