Cause you know it’s all scripted
Life has become such a horror, the games can't possibly measure up.
BRO…. WHAT IF RETRO GAME…. BUT GET THIS BRO…. WHAT IF RETRO GAME BUT SCARY AND GLITCHY???????
People get mindbroken when they see a speedrunner do funny glitch on a OOT rom so yes, the average person thinks retro game glitch is scary
It could be done right, but only if it doesn't devolve into weird shit like this.
It's a terrible medium for trying to share a story found footage style, you'd need to actually need to bullshit found footage.
I used to think this.
Then I played bloodwash.

Bloodwash is very, very decent.
Yeah, some of these torture star games are pretty solid.
I turn down the lights and use headset of course, and they're mostly enjoyable.
Only "disappointment" was Search Party, which was fun enough but simply not scary.
ok what makes this one different from the other 200 PS1 VHS inspired horror games?
It isn't vaporware
They're just the right length (2 hours tops), use both atmosphere and jump scares, and tend to finish with an intense confrontation.
Formulaic and effective.
All these games are great to watch with a beer and a joint.
have a nice day. the first godzilla creepypasta was kino
kino until it shit itself at the end with all the girlfriend shit
because people figured out that when you die in the game you don't die in real life
Old horror games weren't scary. Go back and play them. Clock Tower, SH, RE, they're not scary. SH2, Ganker's baby, is one of the least scary horror games ever made. It's practically a supernatural drama
Scariest game ever made is Darkwood.
Reality catched up
I stopped being terrified of anything when I just imagined having a gun in everything. I can lucid dream so even my worst nightmares I can just imagine a gun and absolutely wreck anything in my way. If I can't do that I can immediately wake myself up. I like to imagine a part of my subconscious absolutely seething at not being allowed to scare me
