how scary is half life?

[OutSIdeOfTheBoX (chrisvig71)]

a simple question, how much scary is half life for you, the first time how it was?, how much is scary if you play it now?

Not scary at all, but some locations felt kinda like abandoned? and that feeling turned over to me as Gordon Freeman.

Half Life² Ravenholm on the other hand was pretty damn scary to me.

The games not meant to be scary. It's not scary.
But there can be an overbearing sense of dread in some locations. You hear groans and moans of the facility miles above you as you're trying to reach the surface. It just makes you imagine whats going on above you, and how it's probably falling apart, collapsing in on itself.

Then theres the dread of imagining whats happening outside the facility walls on the surface. The military is there to kill you, but they're actually innocent too. You get to the surface and see the entire property and probably the entire country is being overwhelmed with alien portal storms, and the military is having to pull out. It's a war and humans are losing.

It's not scary, its just very heavy on dread. Opposing force is even more so.

the start of office complex and on a rail.

my older brother let me play hl for the first time when i was 7 years old and i can say that for that age this game was very traumatizing xd

I still remember the fact that after an hour of playing this game I felt constant tension and fear. I would like to feel a game with the same intensity as I felt at that very young age

Me too. I didn't play but watch my older brothers play it when I was 7. Unforseen consequences and office complex was like a horror show but everything was fine and not scary when they reached we've got hostiles.

I remember everything was way darker too on the non-steam version and the sounds the aliens make whether they're idle or getting shot spooked me. I didn't play, I only watch my brother play and seeing the scientist in the dumpster and the one in the bright room fighting the headcrab in unforseen consequences even gave me relief.

i actually think a headcrab is less scary than a hecu that appear from the croner and then throw a granade in your face...

The most "scary" thing I've experienced is an enemy appearing out of nowhere and killing me when I'm at low health.

The game is not meant to be scary but it may put tension in some players.

yeah thats pretty scary... one thing is all the people say that headcrab and zombies are the most scary things,but hecu soldiers are probably most scary sometimes, they can be really funny sometimes but they are pretty scary...

Ravenholm was slapstick comedy

Depends how strong you immerse yourself. Sudden things jumping out at you or danger presenting itself around every corner can actually startle you, make you uneasy. Pretend you only have one life

[Daniel]

German version is fricking scary where the scientists and security guys just sit down shaking their heads in disbelief when you shoot them, that is so surreal that it makes you question your whole existence.
