explain how you can feel fear from something that can't hurt you

Because I can imagine it, and I purposely allow myself to do so, because then I can enjoy it more. It's like watching a horror movie or something, sure you can sit there the whole time like "just throw a chair through the window and gtfo!" or "one guy should distract it while the other stabs it with the fire poker!" or whatever. But ultimately you have to accept that it's a piece of media for entertainment, and assuming that you're playing the game to be entertained, then you should accept its premise and enjoy the ride.
Not allowing yourself to get scared by horror games is like riding a roller coaster and just being completely bored, thinking to yourself "there's no way they'd let me on this thing if there was any chance I'd get hurt. I'm just gonna go in a circle, spin around a bit, and then go back to where I started. What's the frickin point?" and if you feel like that, and can't convince yourself to feel otherwise, then why get on the fricking rollercoaster in the first place?

I can. Maybe you can't. It certainly helps to play alone, in the dark, and with headphones. You're only proving my point about your lack of imagination, or unwillingness to use it, anon. Of course it isn't real, no game is. But if you're gonna play it then you might as well enjoy it. Unless all you're interested in is flashing lights and watching numbers get bigger.
They don't do it for boys, they do it for themselves. When you shower, are you showering for girls? Or just because you want to be clean? Don't be ridiculous.

no
I kept the radio turned off because I found it annoying and I don't like having something warning me of nearby enemies. It's much encountering enemies when you least expect it.
nah the sound of the radio always keeps me on edge, you can hear the enemies moving and screeching so the radio adding more noise makes it more stressful
>more noise
that's what I don't want. I already have the creepy OST playing while listening to nearby monsters and other noises coming from the environment I'm in, having a screeching radio on top of everything else just seems excessive.
When SH1 was released I was 10 years old and I got it for birthday. I was PRETIFIED when I got to the school's courtyard. I could not bring myself to cross it. My siblings and I eventually finished the game though. Many games later, Fatal Frame 1 was the first game that made me terrified in a long time. Expose to horror games made me jaded though. And nowadays I'm just "entertained". """Horror""" games are all shit nowadays though, both in gameplay, story and concept.
2-1.
Horror games need to be at most 4 hours long otherwise it's gets fricking stale real quick. Unless it's something that explores the fundamental pysche of humanity like Crossed where the only thing that seperates us between animals is the ability to withstand urges to cut your neighbors head off with a garden saw and leave his body and head there to disuade others booming loud music at 3 AM.
>crossed
90% of writers don't even understand that shit enough to produce anything that isn't trash shock value for the same IP.
The 10% who produce anything worthwhile using it still don't delete the fact that even animals have basic limitations to these urges so conceptually it's still more shock value than anything.

Horses are innocent herbivores that only ever attack animals and people trying harm them or capture them. A unicorn is basically a horse blessed by the divine to protect other horses from evil doers.
I think this works just because it's not shoved in your face. Any moron knows who Pyramid Head is now but imagine it's 200-whenever SH2 came out here you just see this new monster type chilling behind some bars. Is he not reacting because his moronic AI can't technically see through a wall? Or is it benign? The worst case scenario is..what if it's not wigging out because it's watching you?.
I think this is the best way to introduce an important monster. Kind of like how most people might not even notice Valtiel in 3 before they die a few times.
pixels can't hurt you. it's not possible to be "scared" by a game (pixels on a screen.)
People get scared by just imagining shit.
Fear has nothing to do whether something can in reality hurt you.
Black person what's the point of any fiction ever if you can't feel any emotion for something that's not real?
You must be a woman or a child. A grown man cant fear something that isnt real. Fear is about something being able to hurt you or kill you
post score
Then how do you enjoy a movie knowing none of it is real? How do you like a character knowing it doesn't exist?
I don't feel emotions for things that don't exist. I bet you cry at movies woman.
I'm beginning to wonder if YOU exist.

Your thread is bad and you should feel bad.
Eileen shaving
do women really shave in bed?
Heather not bathing!
Who the frick shaves on the bed?
Why are you obsessed with that webm? There's nothing sexy about watching a girl shave, it's disgusting.
there's something sexy about watching girls making themselves pretty for boys
They don't do it for boys, they do it for themselves. When you shower, are you showering for girls? Or just because you want to be clean? Don't be ridiculous.
of course they do it for the boys, not for themselves. don't be a manipulative feminist.
probably about half the times i shower, it's because i feel nasty. the rest is so i don't look disgusting as i'm about to go out
Femanons outed. Your words betray you.
Autism in the making
why is she shaving on her bed fully clothed. what a weirdo!
no
>posts scary image
>"this scared people lol"
In other news, shit smells bad and OP is a homosexual
The fact that he's just standing there and the radio's going off is pretty fricking scary.
I kept the radio turned off because I found it annoying and I don't like having something warning me of nearby enemies. It's much encountering enemies when you least expect it.
*much scarier

Same, the radio annoyed me in SH1 so I turned it off in 2 and 3 the second I was allowed to. Never even heard what the static sounded like in 2/3.
I appreciate the first four Silent Hill games.
MODS = homosexualS
It actually did. I remember I had to ask my mom to watch me play this because I was scared shitless. I was like 13 back then.
Which one are you on average lads?
4 is ideal IMO, nothing has taken me past that, but few things take me that far.
3 for sure. Playing horror games with friends is funny as frick, but alone I'm a total pussy

Ew, a homosexual.

Vol. 1 and Wish You Were Here are the only Crossed comics worth reading.

That shit was small time. Here is the scariest PS1 game.
I quit playing this game at the part where the girl starts following you around.
Fricking BASED.
I can't wait for the remake to go crack monkey and let James perform combo attacks with Maria

>Calm THE FRICK down Maria
>It's some kind drop-dead sexy nurse with a fricking balloon for a head

Get gud homosexual.
>JESUS CHRIST WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOUR HEAD? IT'S SHAPED LIKE A PYRAMID WHICH HAS 3 FACES JUST LIKE MY TRAUMA
Tetanus is no joke anon.
Yeah it did zoomer, what scares your pussy ass an empty room? A hallway?
Why are unicorns considered so pure, anyway? Aren't they just horses that can stab shit with their face?
Horses are innocent herbivores that only ever attack animals and people trying harm them or capture them. A unicorn is basically a horse blessed by the divine to protect other horses from evil doers.
>horse randomly kicks your brains in because uhhh its peaceful
Ok
Why would you ever approach a wild horse, anon? It's doesn't owe you shit.
Horses are outrageously stupid and shitheads and deserve to be enslaved.
Nobody but me is right.
Horses are way too fricking easily spooked for something as big as they are.
>But their thin ankles!
scared != unnerved
why do you use != and not =/=?
he's either a coder or enjoys coding memes. some use "!=" instead of "=/=", which is more prevalent in mathematics than coding.
Because you didn't pass your high school math classes
I think this works just because it's not shoved in your face. Any moron knows who Pyramid Head is now but imagine it's 200-whenever SH2 came out here you just see this new monster type chilling behind some bars.
