Amnesia Doesn't Scare Me...

[Gasjockey]

I dismiss the all too popular "balls of steel" claim on the grounds that you simply haven't immersed yourself in the game properly.



Likewise I CAN play through Silent Hill 2 and not find it eerily disturbing if I don't commit myself seriously to the story and claustrophobic atmosphere.

1. I play the game in the pitch black dark with surround sound headphones and nobody in the house at like 3 in the morning. And yet I still don't find it scary.
2. SH2 isn't scary either.
3. Fatal Frame is fucking scary

Well, if you're going in with an attitude of "I'm gonna prove I'm the man and play this game without getting scared", of course it won't be
scary unless you're very easily scared. Like they (frictional) say before you even start the game,
this is not about winning. It is not about proving that "oh, this game
isn't scary at all". It's about getting a great horror experience. You
basically ruin that experience for yourself by having such an attitude,
and frankly, it's not very impressive either.
