7 Games So Unexpectedly Terrifying You'll Never Trust Again: Commenter's Edition

The most effective scares happen when you’re least expecting them. This gives non-horror games an advantage at scaring the bejesus out of us, because we were having a nice relaxed time doing assassinations, not expecting sudden terror. A while back we shared the games so unexpectedly terrifying we can never trust again. Now it’s time to see which ostensibly un-scary games gave you the willies. Subscribe for a video like this every Thursday!
A ghost ship is a ship found adrift with all its crew spookily disappeared.
So you can understand the trepidation with which we and several commenters playing Star Wars Republic Commando approached the mysteriously abandoned Republic Assault Ship the Prosecutor.
We assume this is Delta Squad’s first horror movie, because when they are dispatched to investigate this abandoned spaceship, they make your rookie mistake of splitting up to search it.
As if that’s not foreboding enough, the ominous-o-meter hits record highs while the separated squad creep around this derelict hellship in the dark. It’s like splitting up to search was a terrible idea, and being alone on a ghost ship is terrible? Nice going, Delta Squad.

You really need to include Subnautica. Starts off by swimming with super-colorful glowy fishes in beautiful reefs, collecting resources and assembling equipment.

[@endermage77]

#1 tip for clearing Falmer dungeons: The only strat you need is to crouch at all times and prioritize surprise bow shots. Falmer have the best hearing in the game so they don't need to see you to pick up on even the slightest noises (i.e. drawing a sword, casting any spell, e.t.c.) The porblemo with them is, while they don't need to see you most of the time, that's because they *can't* see you at all. So you can just sidle about in crouch mode practically anywhere you want and get away with the most outrageous bow shots time and again by standing in places where sighted creatures normally have the upper hand.

[@nathonemht1610]

Finally a Republic Commando feature. But also much less freaky than a banshee on insanity. It's just like a regular banshee encounter only protracted, and if you get stuck in cover accidentally you have to start all over again... after being murdered violently.

Whereas almost every fan of RC and Jedi Knight was begging for a sequel, and never got one, because Lucasfarts started money grabbing, which is also what forced KOTOR 2 to be rushed out before it was completed. Obsidian does good work, it’s not their fault the game wasn’t finished. RC got next to zip for advertising, the only reason I knew of it was because a demo for it came with KOTOR 2, which means that only fans of KOTOR were sure to see the game. Why so little advertising? Money, and no faith in the relatively new developers behind the game. The game did not sell well, not because it wasn’t well received, but because it wasn’t advertised like other titles. Just Lucasfarts shooting themselves in the foot again. Same goes for no Battlefront 3. All we have for that is Call Of Duty: Star Wars edition thanks to EA. Lucasfarts was crashing before Disney (Kathleen Kennedy) and EA got their hooks into it, those two just put the last nail in the coffin.

Ravenholm is literally my favorite gaming experience of all time. I want a full game of Ravenholm!

[@lemon___1344]

Moira asylum was probably the most scariest mission in thief with the wierd falmer(who are from skyrim) walking up and down the hallway until you have enough time to dash past them

[@patrikhjorth3291]

Mike, love the T-shirt. Jane, love the new hairstyle. Also, thank you for making sure I will never sleep properly again.

[@variousnumber891]

Hated the beginning of Ghost Ship. Just... The way that poor clone died... Eugh... Honestly, I found it so much easier when the Lizards properly turned up and those god damn robots were replaced by regular Droids. Even the Destroyers were better than those bloody suicide Static Droids...

[@Puddor]

I love Naughty Dog for that. ‘Oh this is a playful romp’ ‘oh here’s the psychological torture, monsters, and moral dillemmas’

[@DarcFalz]

I watch these videos for 2 reasons: games stuffs and the accents. Love you guys!

[@dinoduderocket]

The true jumpscare was seeing my own comment in this video!

[@Jaymarcomoprime]

Love absolution too.

[@ReverendTed]

The Orphanage room from Mila's otherwise upbeat level in Psychonauts was...deeply unsettling.

[@antonanderson1965]

honestly, I thought the fast zombies in Half Life (also introduced in Ravenholm) had even more terrifying sound effects than the poison headcrab, especially when we are introduced to one unexpectedly charging and shrieking at you the moment you turn the corner.

[@Maribro4]

7:20 Same Jane

[@michaeldavis4651]

Sure, Delta Squad did split up, but they still slaughtered a horde of lizard-men.

[@william_brobrine8975]

Michael Davis this is true

[@andrewdeweycollins]

best line in it is when Boss goes i'm far more scarier than u to the lizard-men.

[@jcdenton4534]

Michael Davis But they missed one. Mark.

[@flickinggamer]

Ooo! Jane got her hair cut! Nice!

[@Ataximander]

Just love that Uncharted was the first time I saw a villain being practical when it comes to cursed treasures. Why bother with trinkets when you can have a weapon worth nations.

[@victorsimmons6769]

When I was a young lad, Phazon Mines from Metroid Prime was so scary to walk through

[@Steve_Marsden]

I was about to stop commenting here because I never make SOTW. But then Jane’s new haircut happened and here I am.

[@nikanj]

Moira Asylum has got nothing on Robbing the Cradle from Thief 3. Anyone who played that game when it came out probably still has nightmares about it.

[@BlooferLady86]

Myrmidon I only play the Cradle during the day now. Made that mistake the first time....

[@83athom]

Question; Did you encounter the watchman while in the asylum?

[@Darkkalim7]

I do

[@animatrix1490]

Ah, yes. Everyone's favorite combo.

[@MagSun]

Oh yeah, the cradle. That was unexpected and horrifying, but so far in the game and well done I pushed myself through this. I think I have to play this again!

[@derkrieg161]

So we all forgot the time when we had to pause smashing hauses to pieces wirth a sledgehammer to retrieve a small box in a haunted hause in red faction guerillia?

[@Motoruven]

"do skinny dipping at midnight in the.. haunted lake...? ...because I would b... pt... I would be into that" Haha oh Jane, don't ever change.

[@stevenn1940]

I actually liked frostflow lighthouse...mostly because all the chaurus eggs made me *rich.* poisonous invisibility potions? So valuable....so valuable.

[@nivenfres]

Yeah. I didn't come across it too much later in the game. It wasn't really scary at all.

[@stevenn1940]

If I remember correctly (it has been YEARS since I played in all fairness) you get several hundred chauros eggs. I was also going through dawnguard dlc at the time (against the vampires), so I was getting vampire ash on a regular basis. Vampire ash and chauros eggs produce and invisibility potion (that also has a stamina poison effect), which is valued at 40-60? (or I could use those lunar butterflies, if I caught enough) So yeah, to me, it was incredibly worthwhile.

[@Etropalker]

Dont forget the buff to healing spells you get, if you like handling semi-digested human heads

[@nicholasavasthi9879]

Chrona Trigger i got i think 800 before Jenassa and I were both at risk of being encombured

[@TheDimensionDweller]

To be fair, I was pretty low-level when I found the place. I hadn't encountered Chaurus or the Falmer before, so I had to listen to them making those horrible noises as I first investigated the scene without knowing what I was getting into. And then in the caves proper both Lydia and Barbas somehow managed to get separated from me. And then I encountered the giant Chaurus, which I think I recall killing me a few times. It was not a fun time.

[@wingrider3323]

While the video was really enjoyable, all I could focus on was Jane's awesome new hairstyle.

[@ninjab33z]

Bit late to the party but I gotta add shadowrun dragonfall. The "loyalty mission" for glory. A creepy cult, ominous violin music, and a distinct lack of people really set me on edge

[@konstantinkunz2256]

There actually fucked me up more whas in Returns the realization of the Bugs. The game got me really good as an unknowing fan.

[@citruscenturion]

2:05 Mike's face alone is enough to scare the living hell outta me

[@iilostboiii5058]

that Uncharted one really got me the first time I played

[@Snubnosed81]

iilostboiii when I first played is turned of the tv and didn’t play it because I was afraid of the dark * I was playing at night

[@cinnamon-3047]

Lol ikr? I was also scared of it, I was young and wanting to play an adventure game! :(

[@Wave9990]

Same 😂

[@Herc_G.]

Doesn’t the same exact thing happen in the newest Tomb Raider movie? Trapped in cave, coffin full of a disease, and that same disease turning people into zombies.

[@JoeMartinez18]

Me too... I still remember I couldn't get past that nazi base for weeks because I was just too fucking afraid encountering them

[@andymcp4752]

How about the end of Earthbound... Finish off your chippy aliens vs small-town-USA JRPG with some no punches pulled cosmic horror why not..

[@Clocky4847]

Andy Mcp giygas is spooky asf

[@danielgehring7437]

To be fair the game gets creepier as you go along, so it's not just the ending that's creepy, it's just the creepiest bit.

[@Fakan]

Giygas was scary, but honestly it was the Cave of Ages and The Past leading up to the final boss that scared me as a kid, specifically the music. There's no going back, no saving, you're a robot, every enemy is a nightmare and that goddamn creepy music. O_O

[@DragoonCenten]

It is 2018 now. No one pays attention to cosmic horrors anymore.

[@logicaloverdrive8197]

Andy Mcp A-GODDAMN-MEN!

[@KOles0KOles]

Here should be S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl and it's undergrounds areas. Mostly Agroprom Undergrounds and X-18 Lab.

[@lilsmithers8681]

The banshees? In mass effect 3 when you search planets too much and the reapers come for your ship. That sound and seeing them chase you in spine chilling!!!!!

[@KevinCow]

The Metroid series seems to have one of these in every game. Super Metroid had the wrecked ship, which seemed to be infested with ghosts. But more importantly, you couldn't use the save point because the power was off, and the nearest one was quite a ways away. To turn the power back on, you have to defeat Phantoon, who's basically the result of Lovecraft and Giger having a brainstorming session, and is pretty tough to boot if you're not prepared. Metroid Fusion had everything with the SA-X, but most notably the bit where you have no choice but to encounter her and run like hell, because the last time you were able to save was before a rather tough boss. Metroid Prime has a bit where you fight your way deeper and deeper into a Space Pirate lab, pass by a bunch of contained Metroids, and fight through the most difficult combat encounters up to that point. Then you get the thermal visor, which for some reason shuts down the power, and thus most of the lights and the barriers containing the Metroids. At that point you have to fight your way back out through the Space Pirates, but now with Metroids popping out at you, and it's also pitch black unless you make your eyes bleed with the thermal visor. Oh, and you also haven't saved since before you entered the lab. Because Metroid games like doing that. Metroid Prime 3 does something similar, except now the Metroids you release can phase through walls. So that's great. And Metroid Prime 2 just gets straight to the point and opens with you investing a Galactic Federation distress signal to find that, surprise!, they're all dead. Or at least they are until they start waking back up as zombies.

[@battfinkz]

You just reminded me of so many good moments. Love the metroid series, ever since I played super metroid on release day on snes. Them were the days, that menu music was creepy enough lol

[@yastaav]

In the Dishonored 2 level _The Good Doctor_ ; Hypatia transforms into some kind of werewolf like feral human. I was definitely not expecting that to happen.

[@Anthonybrother]

Sithu Aye has a song called hypatia, it has very nice guitar

[@connorolive5970]

That scared the shit out of me. especially when I forgot the code and had to replay the whole sequence and I couldn’t kill her bc I was going for a no kill playthrough

[@LucianCanad]

Antonio Brother I'll one up your trivia. One of the first recognized female mathematicians was called Hypatia of Alexandria. And lemme tell ya, there's some hex to that name, considering what happened to her and Dr. Hypatia from D2.

[@Lazerfaced]

I just picked up dishonored 2 and I didnt even know this could happen. No kill run ftw

[@SaitosaBard]

+Billy Siravo jr. Well, here's a quote from wiki for ya: "During the Christian festival of Lent in March 415, the parabalani under the leadership of a lector named Peter raided Hypatia's carriage as she was travelling home.[84][34] They dragged her into a nearby church known as the "Caesareum",[84] where they stripped her naked and murdered her using ostraka,[84][85] which can either be translated as "roof tiles" or "oyster shells".[84] They tore her body into pieces[84] and dragged her mangled limbs through the town to a place called Cinarion, where they set them on fire.[84]"

[@illwill7154]

Shadow of the Tomb Raider the first encounter of the creatures in the tomb where the silver box should be was one of the most paranoia inducing tombs in any Tomb Raider game I’ve ever played

[@kevinsundelin8639]

I'd say Creepers from Minecraft They don't look terrifying...but that hissing noise...it haunts me

[@tiredhoneybadger1916]

Jane's haircut looks awesome

[@NexeL_NKC]

HOW DID I FORGET REPUBLIC COMMANDO?!?!? I would've suggested it had my brain not fried at the moment I needed it!!

[@Chaotic42Kami]

I know Hollow Knight is a bit creepy overall, kinda like Bloodborne and Dark Souls. But Deepnest was absolutely terrifying.

[@lymmea]

Thief 4 was just calling back to the Shalebridge Cradle from Thief: Deadly Shadows(aka Thief 3), also known as the only level in any game I've ever played that scares me to play in full daylight, and the only time ANY game has made my brother scream and required him to stop playing for five minutes to get his heart rate back under control. The atmosphere was INCREDIBLE. (Actually the whole game was incredible, Deadly Shadows is one of my favorite games, you should go play it. But Shalebridge is a left field nightmare.)
