How do you guys even play Horror Games?

wait to grow older maybe?

Skyrim isn't scary, burning wolves with fire is lots of fun

You just have to sack up a bit. It sounds like perhaps you are not stowing the correct gear to face these types of games. Get yourself a copy of the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre and watch it about 20-30 times. This will help. Your welcome.

Go and play fps horror like FEAR where you can kill everything that moves.

I play by dropping jokes all around.

In Dead Space, saying "HERE COMES THE STOMPING MACHINE" or "I have a PhD in killing you bitches" or some other stupid thing, or dropping some confident "Okays" from time to time.

In 5 Nights at Freddy's, I make fun of their faces (mostly the duck's when it is half open), and treat the situation like it is just some other day at the office.

In short, distancing yourself from the game itself is a great idea if you can't bear the tension, and I do so by being sarcastic with the game in question.

(If you are scared of Skyrim, I have some very bad news for you... Even Alan Wake is way more scary than Skyrim, and it never got to give me any creeps.)

we waiting till night start ...turn off every lights ...and start playing "Outlast" ...adrenaline is good ...but can kill xd (sorry for not knowing english)

I haven't played that many horror games but in most cases the kind of scares you get are similar in each game so you kinda get used to it. And as previously said the adrenaline is good.

Only thing that sometimes scares me in Skyrim is when draugrs become alive behind me. This doesn't happen often :P

It happens the same to me.

And i owned The Forest, Amnesia and Among the sleep LOL

A gameplay without altering the emotions...what's the use?

I suppose different people like different things, or they're wired differently.

I can't remember which one it was, but I recall playing one of the early Resident Evil games when I was around 17, 18 or 19 years-old, something like that. I only played a few minutes and was afraid to carry on. Nothing even happened in that time, I was just worried that it might.

I didn't anticipate that happening to me at all as I never minded horror movies. It was the first supposedly scary game I'd played and it felt so different being in control of the character in a horror setting as it was more as though it was happening to you, the player rather than just being an observer when watching a movie.

I ended up trading the game in for something else.

These days I'm ok with any types of games, but then I am 35 years-old. That said, it did take me a while to give games that were billed as being scary another try.

I don't mean to be accusing here but I've noticed, within society, a large step back in the "peaceful/mental" evolution of the human race since the internet was first introduced, the reason for which is the desensitizing of us all through images/videos we get through the internet.

You can search for nearly anything and can come across some freaky shit that you see and immediately and suddenly get scared that the secret service is watching your internet browsing habits. If you want to be more specific, (and I don't know if these sites still exist or not), there are places like Gorezone and Ogrish where you can find the absolute worst of humanity in pictures and videos, including the be-headings that the "peaceful" Muslims somehow feel it necessary to do, (yes, I know not ALL Muslims want to be chop our heads off, I have Muslim neighbours, my daughter's co-best friend is Muslim, yadda, yadda, insert-typical-cliched-answer-here).

Anyway, my point being, before I got the internet, I was kinda weird, I admit. 3 years AFTER getting the internet and I was a sick, little puppy looking for the goriest stuff I could find to try and see if anything could disturb me, (something can, but it wasn't found on that particular quest).

You are quite possibly the only human in the civilised world that has been made MORE sensitive with the internet....To the embarrassing apex of being scared of Skyrim. (The only thing scary about Skyrim is adopting a daughter, I'm a father of two, believe me!!)

I load up the first Amnesia game, walk through the hallway, a door opens up instantly, alt+f4 uninstall. That's my method.

And where's the emotional storytelling in a multiplayer online game? I'm playing games because of the stories, not the yelling 10 year olds... There's no really enjoyable game without emotional altering (joy, fear, happyness, etc).

None of it is real. Once you understand and accept that fact, it may even come off as funny sometimes. There are greater horrors in real life.

My friends and I enjoy watching horror movies, but most of the time, they're more comedic to us. We'd laugh every time the characters would nearly pee themselves when something pops up from out of the shadows and stuff. So I guess we don't get too immerse in them, now games, I play because I want to know what's going to happen next.

I remember my first time playing Silent Hill 1 when I was in grade 7, I'd sit on the edge of my bed, almost glued to the screen in a futile attempt to see movement better through the fog. I was very curious as to what happened to the town, it's citizens, and how I ended up there. A good horror game should almost drive you away in fear, but the story needs to be intriguing enough so that you face your fear in an attempt to quench your curiousity.

I don't. I get scared really easy in games.
"I can't even play Skyrim, I get nervous of walking alone on the mountains, fighting skeletons in dungeons and caves, and the most of all, wolves and bears just come out randomly and give jumpscares" Same here with Oblivion. I've played a bit of it and love it, though.

I get scared in some single player games but I still enjoy them, although more recently I prefer multiplayer games, or like to be talking to someone while I'm playing a game. I think it's because I've spent pretty much the entire holiday alone, so I don't like being on my own when playing games, I don't know.

Well, I am not afraid of them, they are interesting for me)
But usually I play games like CSGO or something like that.

How do i play them? i don't , thats the trick :3

jumpscares on skyrim?? LOL.

Well you can just realize It is only a game or a movie and that It is not real? You should be afraid of psychopaths.

1. Play Scary Game

2. Overcome Fear

3. ????????

4. Profit?

I got scared playing Portal 2. It's that music, man, it gets freaky towards the end, and there's deadly lasers.

When I play scary games I just say in my head: "nothing can happen to me, its just a game". Then I scream #YOLO.

Mostly by being bored because they're not scary. I have yet to find any "real" horror game that would be scary. Doom 3 is by far the scariest game I have played.
