I've just started to play Lone Survivor and in the first 10min I got really scared.. I remember when I was 12 or smth I played scary games but I never got so scared that i would turn off the game. So could it be that because I haven't been playing scary games for YEARS (except F.E.A.R but I had a friend sitting by my side while I was playing it) that I'm just not used to them anymore? Or maybe it's because I'm playing with my headphones on?

So either way how do you overcome fear in games?

P.S This only occurs with games i have no problem watching scary movies or other stuff

Well, since you went trough F.E.A.R. with a friend by your side, maybe you should consider inviting that friend over again.

Or you could try what I do with spiders- whack 'em with a stick until you can't identify them as spiders anymore. Don't do that to your PC though. XD

Play Day of the Tentacle and watch Tentacle Porn at the same time. You will be cured like that.

There are a few games that are scary, but the easy way to make it less scary is to turn off the lights, and just start playing.

By the way The Happy Little Elves does not count as a horror movie. Guessing most the horror movies you watch are actually dramas, thrillers and suspense though some of those are considered horror.

Wear a bear suit when you play and pretend you are a bear, most monsters/humans will not stand a chance.

Exposure. Let the unknown enemies in the game kill you, embrace what's happening on screen. Look at them, see there's nothing to fear, they're freaking pixels. :P

I hate the kind of "omg I'm an IN YO FAISE mutilated mass of pixels screaming like an PMS-ing bitch on Friday night! haha, got you good"

That's the shitty cheap tricks kind of "scares" and they make you jump.

There's also good scares. A game that sets the mood or makes you scared from the storyline, without resorting to jumping in your fucking face.

Anyway, cheers and good luck!

I only have fear in amnesia, even during the day with friends around me. Not that I scream like a little girl, but I just quit playing it after some minutes. I can not overcome it and it will haunt me forever. It will probably haunt you forever as well.
