Condemed Criminal Origins
F.E.A.R. 1 and F.E.A.R. 2
LSD Dream Emulator, and more, just go to /x/ and ask for the scariest games they know about.

F.E.A.R 1 and F.E.A.R.2 scarier than amnesia?

Seriously, wtf?

Played all of them, none lived up the scare factor of Amnesia.
CASE CLOSED! AMNESIA IS SCARIEST GAME EVAR

F.E.A.R 1 + 2 is not even a bit scary, because the graphics sucks. But its not all about graphics...Try Cry of Fear <-- Half Life 1 mod, you WILL shit your pants 100%

Amnesia is scary, just like the Penumbra series, but nothing scares me the most than when I played Aliens vs Predator (the old original one, didn't try the remake) as the human marine. Then again I was a younger and more impressionable back then.
That game scarred (and scared) me for life. Just hearing the motion sensor sound brings back memories shudder

No, Amnesia is OVERRATED, its not even scary most of the times. Even F.E.A.R. had a better atmosphere.

YOU CAN ALSO KEEP THROWING CHAIRS AT UNSPEAKABLE HORRORS UNTIL THEY STOP BEING SCARY

Even if Amnesia had guns, they wouldn't be so effective. The setting (1830s) leaves little room for weaponry, so yeah, you'd have to use a musket that takes 30 seconds to reload or a sword/bayonet.
But that's irrelevant, as it's the very sense of weakness that makes it so scary. You're a normal guy afterall.
And blasting ugly things heads off with guns is not scary at all.

But FEAR was scarier than Amnesia AND you had guns. This game is REALLY overrated.

For me Amnesia was boring because of not having weapons, and the Monster wasnt scary at all.
BTW The feeling youo described like being impotent, weak, fregile, I did not felt that way when I played Amnesia. The game is plain boring, and there are a lot of scarier games. Let me give you some examples:

Condemned is awesome. Not only really good athmosphere, but more interesting gameplay than Amnesia imo.

I tried Penumbra once. After leaving a room I saw a dark corridor with no lights. I uninstalled the fucking game.

Its not as scary as people make it to be, but it has eerie/creepy moments, yes.
Play it, its a awesome game :D
And there is a lot of content made by modding community, the game can last you a very long time :)

Have fun crying in a corner while crying in a corner. Its really good in the worst way.

Amnesia makes you feel weak, and useless, giving you only your wit, and constantly battering your senses. Wear some nice headphones, sound reduction, isolation. Try to sit there, and just sort of, tune out around you, play in the darkness, make sure you, and only you can hear the sounds.
Amnesia is best played with headphones in my opinion. Considering I use $100 headphones, they .. really make things seem more immersive.

Okay. I will go buy three pigs. That's what you want me to do. Right, Bender?

Why. Why did you even enter. You'll never sleep again. The game will be sitting there in your game list, taunting you, -challenging- you. you aren't man (or woman, or dog, what do I know) enough to brave its horrors. And the subconscious abuse will build. Soon whenever you open Steam, the game will be right under your mouse cursor. Every time. Even if you move it to a new category. Even if you move the Steam window. Somehow, you'll always be pointing to that accursed game when Steam first opens. Eventually, you'll try it. The self-depreciating mystique of not knowing will overshadow the unknown terrors you've been warned about. You'll shine light on those terrible stories, revealing them as baseless lies. Then the truth will swallow your dignity, cost you your pants, and make you buy a new computer chair. But deep down, you'll know. You tried. It wasn't worth it, but you braved that darkness and returned alive. The nightmares will cling to the edges of your perception for the rest of your life, clawing closer when the lights dim and the house grows quiet. But you were there. You survived. You can always tell yourself that.

And when you do sleep, you will dream normally. For a time. But always, the steam window will pop up in your face, blocking your vision--and every slot will read "Amnesia". A hundred "Amnesia"s all aligned vertically, mocking you until you--...
I think I've crossed the "Trying too hard" line.
Oh, and I own it myself. Bought it by mistake as part of a bundle... yes, it taunts me, but I haven't yet given in.

Longtime roleplayer with a cruel streak. It's not a gift. This is a practiced skill. I'll go take a bow.

Well Yeah, I would fall under the same category, it's beautiful because it's a gem. Among coal, while coal has it's value, then you have rocks. So .. just put it there. OOOOOH SHINY.
But still, great writing there, offers a lot of insight to your style.

I'm not going to watch this because it contains spoilers. Nothing else.

I'm going to comment for the third time here, even if you don't find the game super friggin' scary, I think you'll find it impressive. The visuals are beautiful, the story is interesting, and hell, after playing Amnesia, I want to buy myself an old oil lamp :p
So play the SHAT out of that bugger!

Well, the dude who made the giveaway ignores me, so it means... Shit. It's just shit.

He has the game in his inventory. And he ignores me. Ok, I will wait 7 days, then I will contact support.

Hoy, hoy hoy... mind the language when you rename the thread, aye? I haven't read that part of the community standards, but forums normally frown on that sort of thing.

So, after celebrating my 1000th entry with a giveaway... I won Amnesia. Is that game really scary? Should I start shitting my pants?
