[@seacliff217]

Luigi's Mansion is scarier than the latter half of these games... and it ran more on the lines of comedy rather than horror

[@MultiCool55]

+Sea Cliff (Seacliff217) The beta of Luigi's mansion was actually kinda fucked up in spots, at least for a Mario (Luigi?) game.

[@bumbruh]

+Sea Cliff (Seacliff217) It scared the crap out of me as a little kid.

Hey Jirard, just so you know...while it may seem like scathing criticism is being thrown at you, it is by FAR the minority. Hundreds of thousands of people watch your videos and a few irritating souls spoke up. You're still doing great bro, don't feel like you have to cater exclusively to the loudest extremists!

[@Carmander138]

I definately agree. the minor problem I would have in this list is deadly premonition, because it was very aware of itself but still at least 85% of the time I completely agree with your choices

[@mikauanaki4866]

Philosophy: If you shook hands with 200 people and 2 of them slapped you, you'd only remember the 2 that slapped you.

[@maugos]

Girard's reaction to 7th Guest I think really shows the generational gap. I remember people really liking that game when it first came out and yet here he is laughing at it. Sigh, I guess I feel old and sad now.

[@revenile]

+maugos I know the feeling, the fact it was just him laughing throughout it actually angered me a bit. Sure for me the only spot that legit scared me was the basement maze... But it was the first pc game I ever had, and when it came out, IN 1993, it made cd rom drive sales skyrocket because back then, it was scary. Today it IS laughable at how not scary it is, but '93 was a different time. I just wish Jirard had actually talked about it instead of just laugh the whole time.

[@Meteorotaki]

+maugos I still have the PC CD of that game, bought it the day it came out. Was definitely scary and creepy back in the days. I wish Jirard would have actually said something about it...

[@Codemarla]

Yeah, I agree. I had it on CD-I when I was about 7 or 8 and it freaked the shit out of me. the music and sound were especially effective.

[@Rationalityislost101]

+maugos I just commented on playing that as a kid. I mean I had doom and diablo when growing up with two brothers 5&10 years older than me so I was desensitized. However I never played it alone at night which is why Parasite Eve still brings memories of fear. I refuse to revisit the game as an adult as it would ruin the memory of being up past midnight wondering what the hell was going on. One of the worst things about being an adult is nothing in the entertainment world can shock/scare you anymore. Even the new game SOMA was more of a philosophical journey (that I still enjoyed) than something scary.

[@dialaskisel5929]

+maugos Yeah, it sort of felt to me like laughing at elderly people for them not being able to stand up or walk easily... I mean, no it is certainly not scary by today's standards, but it was an early experiment in the genre, and at least deserves some respect, instead of just being laughed out of the room for being old.

[@therunn3197]

@Mathias Albert Get out bot

[@MayorofGaming]

Also with Deadly Premonition. I LOVE that game, but whenever I tell people about it, it starts with. "It's not a horror game it's just... weird" and that's why I love it.

[@metashade4218]

I agree with number 9. I think Five Nights at Freddy's 3 is easily the worst in the FNAF series. I did not find 3 remotely scary or even creepy in the slightest the first time I've played the game compare to the other games that I've played & seen. I think the other FNAF games are still creepy & can still give multiple people jumpares, especially the fourth game, which is often considered to be the scariest in the series, but FNAF3's jumpscares can often feel really predictable & often kind of lazy at times, especially with the phantom animatronics. I also didn't find FNAF3 to be all that atmospheriec compare to the other FNAF games. The setting in 3 just felt so bland for my taste.

[@keithegner1392]

Me too

[@PrincessSisiBelle]

+Jonnathan Sosa Agreed. 1 and 2 had me jumping out of my skin. 3 was meh and 4 was mildly scary for me.

[@keirmcnab220]

idk why but springtrap is the only one I find scary

[@neoryn5788]

I find fnaf 3 tried too hard to be scary If I had to add a quote from another game to replace the spring trap sound it would be Soldier from tf2 saying "hello again"

[@super8bitable]

All of them are not scary... Well... Except 2

[@TrisStrudel]

FNAF 4: BEST: Best mechanics, most complete story with most amount of interaction during story bits. Scariest monsters. FNAF 2: SECOND BEST: Most mechanics, literally dripping with hints and lore, and tons of enemies. FNAF 1: THIRD BEST: Good start, good enemies, unique mechanic, good build-up. FNAF 3: WORST: Good amount of enemies but repetitive and by far has the least amount of content. Build up without good payoff and unsatisfying ending (either of them).

[@Saitam305]

I like the first because they have the only "organic" halisinations. None in 4. None in 2. No good ones in 3.

[@Saitam305]

+Kurt Mayer cough cough

[@TrisStrudel]

Kurt Mayer I wouldn't call the FNAF 3 hallucinations bad. Their placements were good and the models were great. They were just predictable. In contrast to 1, they actually affected the player. I do think that FNAF 1 is better than 3 though.

[@Saitam305]

TakTheFox Ok

[@MaxOutOfTen]

+TakTheFox I do agree with this list, but there are a few things about fnaf 3. It's repetitive and predictable because it's no longer based on luck. You have full control over what happens next. you have to quickly figure out the next move to keep yourself alive and then plan the next move. that said, it's not a good horror game because it IS predictable once you get the hang of it. It's strange because fnaf 3 is the first and only one to have only 5 active nights (night 1 doesn't count) so it does have the least amount of content. the unsatisfying ending, however, is intentional. I kept people talking about the game because of all the questions it didn't answer, and all the new questions it caused. that's something Cawthon is good at. Keeping people talking about his games. The real unsatisfying ending is that Scott says FNAF World (which will be the worst in the series, btw) won't have anything about the story. So all we have left is a movie. Scott wants to answer our questions with a movie. Not a game. I would be fine if it wasn't even a horror game. I'd be fine with a bunch of Atari style minigames as a game wrapping up the story. But no. all we're stuck with is a crap movie, a stupid rpg, and a double-locked box that will soon be forgotten. Sorry. rant over.

[@mejiacantillogustavo]

I love how 99% of the comments is just complaining about FNAF. I would make a list to make fun of it, but it will just be copy and pasting at this point.

[@foreverthelost7592]

I didn't think Deadly Premonition was scary at all, but I still love it. It's one of those weird games where you go in expecting horror, but you get comedy. It's actually one of my favorite games I have on PS3.

[@heymemesaucevichaelhere9595]

I love how Jirard acts like people think Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs is scary No, everyone agrees with you

[@CaptainEggcellent]

FNAF is such a strange concept for a game. I personally find first person horror the best. Games like Alien Isolation, Outlast and Amnesia actually bring me to the edge of my seat without me realising I have moved!

[@-thesalemcrow-5941]

You really do just appear everywhere

[@CharlemagneGuy127]

It’s certainly an unnerving experience to be permanently rooted to the floor and unable to run as you stare down creepy animatronics from down the hall, especially when they don’t move either and thus you cannot anticipate their next action like you would in a game like Amnesia where you can watch a grunt from a closet wander around and go outside and breath a sigh of relief.

[@-thesalemcrow-5941]

[@CharlemagneGuy127]

@@-thesalemcrow-5941 and then it just becomes an annoyance when you keep getting jumpscared to death on later days and higher difficulties, but the ambience and atmosphere is still the best scary part of the games, at least the first two were.

[@koolaid33]

I think it can nail the scare factor SOMETIMES, mostly if you are very young and haven't played many horror games yet, like me when I first found out about it, but I DESPISE the gameplay. It's just so basic, you are literally sitting in one position for the entire game, you cannot explore, you cannot move at all really, except for the later games but you might as well just sit there seeing you move 3 inches in front or the the side of yourself. The scares just get annoying and tedious after a while and even me when I was 7 wasn't scared of this game when I first heard about it. The gameplay is so unbelievably stale and I do not understand at all how they made, like, what, 10 GAMES??

[@JSparkysteel]

[@CyberLance26]

Deadly Premonition is one of my favoriite games ever and its lots of fun to play in my opinion so i think it got really great and fun gameplay and i think the horror parts of the game are pretty scary and disturbing and it felt very nice when you finished them and got back to the normal world again.

[@leonhardtz5]

When I played Deadly Premonition, I came to the conclusion that the game was purposely polarizing. It would make you feel like you were getting into something intense, then throw some hilariously bad acting at you. I hated it when I tried to take it seriously, but the moment I decided it was a joke from the developers, I enjoyed it a lot.

[@CyberLance26]

ShadowWolfRising Deadly Premonition is like most Japanese stuff that it got lots of stuff that is supposed to be funny but the story and the characters are still supposed to be taken seriously and i think its way better most of the time when something can be both serious and dark and also have funny and lighthearted stuff in it.

[@cyanmanta]

I was raised on the 7the Guest and the 11th Hour and... yeah, when those games actively try to be scary, they're pretty funny. I still love them for the puzzles and the overall story. And the music. The music is untouchable. Praise be to the Fat Man.

[@crowfoxchannel4454]

Sheesh you had me going. Thought you were doing Resident Evil 4...HAVE YOU SEEN A REGENERATOR! NOW THAT SHIT IS SCARY!

[@DonNorway]

I agree with almost everything you say in this video, especially what you say in the Amnesia part. The, perhaps, scariest game I've played recently was White Night - a riddleful mystery horror that revels in making you feel completely lost, hopeless and weak. Pair this with no action sequences (other than fleeing) and an interesting lighting mechanic, and you have a really scary game.

[@imalsoTOMATO]

7th Guest scared the shit out of me ... when I was 10.. and it was 1995.. Still .. my childhood man... some respect.

[@AmedeusMkII]

Of everything I expected to see in a Completionist video, clips from Phantasmagoria were none of them. You pretty much summed up 7th Guest, though. People like to talk about how much that game scared them as a kid, but man they must have been afraid of everything as kids. The wandering around music of the SPOoOoOoOKY mansion is generic elevator music. Half of the cutscenes are indecipherable. Sometimes the music drowns out what people say (Deadly Premonition also had this problem at times, though), and it's all just so doofy.

[@kayeplaguedoc9054]

"Just because you're trying to survive in a scary environment does not equal a truly scary game." That's the truth. You need investment and pacing too. That quote also sums up how I felt about Shinji Mekami's other games, with the exception of the RE:Make I never found any of his works scary after a point even if I've always appreciated his game design. Good video as usual.

[@scrustle]

I think there are a lot of people who would agree with you on A Machine For Pigs and The Evil Within. A lot of people didn't like those games. And does anyone even find Saw scary at all? I thought those movies weren't even supposed to be "scary" really.

[@lingocenter3722]

Just watched the series for the first time and I'm totally agreed! I was so disappointed. :(

[@bernebelmont1857]

+Scrustle with a title called machine for pigs I thought I would find I pig on a treadmill

[@CyberLance26]

I love Machine For Pigs and think its a great and scary horror game and i like it much better than the first Amnesia game personally and The Evil Within was not that scary most of the time but its still extremely fun to play so i hink its awesome and not a bad game at all and even if the main game kinda failed on the scariness the Evil Within DLC succeded in being scary and disturbing.

[@NathanCassidy721]

I haven't seen "Saw" nor do I plan too because gore is not scary. Making you sick or uncomfortable is meant to be an enhancement to the experience, not the centerpiece. Tons of people are guilty of misusing "gore" due to lack of talent and understanding of the medium they are working with. A good example I can think of is "300"where there are moments of bloods and guys flying across the screen. And it helps enhance the moments of badassness of these soldiers holding off an entire army.

[@Necroskull388]

+Scrustle The amount of gore isn't really shocking for gamers. It has to rely more on cinematography, which helps, but it can still be underwhelming.

[@furyberserk]

You can bypass the darkness as an element and use light as an element in horror by having the enemies cloak in light but you can see them in shadow. Just imagine a long corridor full of windows and you know something is approaching you, mostly because it's screaming to you, but you catch a glimpse of a large weapon that also happens to cloak in the light. Delightful!

Deadly Premonition is an absolute masterpiece. I could even do without the horror parts because I'm not too crazy about the quick time events and just enjoy the random weirdness. It was somewhat creepy to drive around at night and encounter one of the giant monster doggos for the first time.

[@retron99]

Scary games that aren't scary? Oh boy! I wonder how many Fnaf comments we're gonna get!

[@planescaped]

I didn't find Amnesia: The Dark Descent the least bit frightening honestly. The fact that there were no weapons meant that there was never going to be an in-game situation that I could not run or hide from. Once I realized this fact, any and all tension left me. From a pure game design standpoint, I knew that I was and would always be, perfectly fine. Dead Space 2 on the other hand is the game that scared me more than any other, and I imagine that if I had played the original Dead Space first, then it would hold that honor.The atmosphere, and truly threatening encounters made that game scarier than Amnesia ever could be. Death might have stood around every corner, and the only thing that could stop it was my own ability, resolve, and reactions. That was infinitely more frightening and tense than "Oh, hey, a cupboard/movable crates/obvious escape route... Monsters in 5, 4, 3, 2,, 1...." Everyone is scared by different things though. And I can understand how and why people found Amnesia scary. Even if I couldn't relate to it. Many people find FNaF as laughable of an attempt at horror as I found Amnesia. A few no-win scenarios peppered throughout Amnesia requiring real effort to escape from, would have done that game a world of good.

[@AshXXMayftw]

Something that's interesting about RE5, originally there was a system in play where if you stayed out in the sun too long you'd start hallucination about zombies and other terrifying creatures. This could have been an interesting take, since if you waste your ammo trying to kill the hallucinations, it could potentially put you in a bad situation with the actual zombies. Maybe that explains the tagline "You will fear the sun." or something like that.

Poor Alan Wake, the devs have said on multiple accounts it was supposed to be an action game in the first place with spooky themes not the other way around. I think they made that more clear in the sequel though, so whatever.

[@Anitropius]

I think that you picked a lot of low-hanging fruit for this list. Resident Evil 5 and 7th Guest are some really lazy picks - and I don't really think that neither House of the Dead 2 and Deadly Premonition was intended to be true horror games anyway. Or at very least I didn't go into either of them expecting a true horror game. If I personally had to pick a game/series which I personally didn't find to be scary it would have to be the Dead Space games. They are really fun action games but other than a somewhat spooky atmosphere I really didn't find them very scary at all - it was pretty much all just some very predictive jumpscares through and through.

[@arKiteX3]

Frankly, I had the same problem throughout the original Amnesia as well. It's not particularly scary when one half of the enemies are so blind that simply shoving your nose in a corner is enough to evade them with near 100% success, and the other half are completely restricted to water and have the attention span of a goldfish. The Shadow was the only particularly frightening aspect of the game, and the rest just served as a distraction from its eldritch horror.

[@SilverChauffeur]

Just like Twin Peaks, Deadly Premonition puts it's quirkiness above the scare factor. York goes around the town and creates relationships with the town's folk to help him solve the murder quicker and more effectively. If you help a couple organize their convenience store you get an extremely powerful weapon. What I'm saying is that the non-scary parts are just as important as the "scary" parts.

_For number 9: Not to mention Springtrap looks pretty sweet in shades. Not only the fact that all he seems to want is a coffee or sugar._

[@LumiRev]

12:53 HA! Jokes on you Jirard! I don't have a job!

[@ChelseaColeslaw]

You need to talk to Danny and Arin, because they have no idea what Twin Peaks is. Their last Leisure Suit Larry play thru has a question about what Cooper's fav drink is. I think they answered whiskey. When we all know it's black coffee! So frustrating.

[@andrewbaillargeon1459]

I so agree with you on The Evil Within. That was my most anticipated game of last year, and after five hours of playing, I just felt underwhelmed. Such a shame

[@ICountFrom0]

7th guest, the one GOOD scare moment in that was the painting at the top of the stairs. The rest is campy and wonderful.

[@jaysonl]

Oh, man..... MAD props for throwing The 7th Guest in there!

[@Atomic_Mousetrap]

Okay, so while I loved A Machine for Pigs, I couldn't really take it very seriously. It felt very much like the developers wanted to design a walk-through experience, like a haunted house, and the gameplay was only introduced begrudgingly. It's no surprise these were the same people who did Dear Esther.

[@josephcross8464]

You keep bringing on "Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem" as a great example of a psychological horror game. It would be really awesome if you did a complete review of it, Jirard.

[@RancidVomit360]

Hi, In regards to the 7ths guest: You need to remember the time period in which it was made. Also its main genre is a puzzle game. I think it was pretty creative to incorporate puzzles and survival...which oddly sounds like SAW about 20years before SAW...

[@FreyjaTheWarrior]

My biggest issue with the Horror genre is that many devs don't seem to know what they want to do with their game. Horror can come in different shapes and sizes. Anxiety, disgust, oddity, and yes horror can create horror.

[@MarquisdeL3]

I'd argue that Deadly Premonition isn't a horror game. It gets filed under that genre because you fight zombies and it's got creepy bits, and also that's the closest standard genre to describe it. It's more like a supernatural mystery game. I just describe it as Twin Peaks: The Game.

[@-thesalemcrow-5941]

Five Nights at Freddy's was scary when I was 14 for a few minutes but after a few times I was never, it's really overrated

[@David-tm7xb]

I like that SMW whistling music during the Deadly Premonition part.

[@ShootingRiser]

Jirard...dont feel that way man..u try ur best to deliver...and u dedicate so much to everyone but ur only human never forget that. keep u the good work man! #thecompletionistisawesome!

[@Spoofopolis]

You should do Top Ten Games That Weren't Supposed to be Scary. For me number one is Pikmin, the enemies are terrifying, and the fact that not knowing how to beat an enemy means losing your only means of defense makes coming across new enemies that much more horrifying.

[@thelegendarymew8117]

Suddenly I remember Alan Wake exists. There was so much hype for it for about 5 minutes, and then everyone seemed to collectively stop talking about it and so I never tried it out.

[@ryanamberger]

Anyone remember on house of the dead 2 when one of the woman you try to help yells "please! Don't come!" LOL Heard that a few times myself.

[@DijitGuy]

I think the DLC for The Evil Within where you play as kidman is fantastic, and actually quite a lot more scarier than the basic game!

[@lytningthief]

People actually got angry at you over a few mistakes? Wow, that's really sad. You shouldn't have to apologize, your videos are awesome Jirard!

[@Justiceisahero]

Deadly Premonition definitely takes place in Washington but okay. Matter of fact, so does Twin Peaks. but hey. small details.

[@nicholaschisholm7018]

I loved the 7th guest.. Henry Stauf built a house and filled it with his toys

[@robertmunoz5444]

the production value of that one video gamer is so good i still ask myself "why doesnt jirard have 1 million+ subs?" i guess in due time aha

[@AmShibes]

"And sometimes just a f***ing idiot." Woah man, s'alright, just...s'alright.

[@ShermTank7272]

So Jirard's update video list now is * Hyrule Warriors * Mother 3 * Link Between Worlds * Splatoon * Dark Souls II

[@sholva6809]

Deadly Premonition was always meant to be weird. No one understands that and was expecting another Silent Hill clone

[@tylerosis3630]

Jirard did you know that if you feel a little weird feeling in your neck when you wake up, sometimes spiders climb into your mouth when you sleep and you go by instinct and eat them.

[@tylerosis3630]

When I first heard about that I gagged

[@JennyTheNerdBat]

I don't think House of the Dead 2 really belongs to this list. It just has sort of a "parodic" feel to it, with laughable voice acting, "scary-ish" music that fits more to some Halloween special from a children show, and a VERY goofy plot. Some creepy stuff happens here and there, but it's kinda clear that scaring people off wasn't a real goal of its developers. HotD3 fits much better because SEGA tried to pull something darker and more serious with that one, yet it still wasn't even a little bit creepy.

[@davidspring4003]

I'm just gonna say this, Gerard. Alan Wake was the first ever horror game I played that scared me.

[@DeathTheKid2100]

Jirard, I hope you know that a majority of us (your fans) really don't care if you make a simple mistake or miss something out; heck, we wouldn't care if you missed a huge chunk once or twice. We know how stressful -your- job specifically is, seeing as even though you play video games, the fun is sucked out of them for you by having to 100% one a week. So just don't let the haters/whiners get to you.

[@LiminalDreams91]

Play Alan Wake on the hardest difficulty at night, with a headset on, no HUD and let yourself get literally lost in one of the forest sections and it's fucking literally TERRIFYING. Alan Wake scarred me in parts, an unforgettable game experience.

[@ArtemusWolfwood]

It's funny how Jirard Ryu is basically just Ryu now that they've revealed his new look for SFV.
