I'm experiencing this right now with Demon's Souls. The game is so good, but I'm scared to continue it tonight because of its threatening atmosphere, creepy and deadly enemies and the unforgiving hard difficulty.
Have you ever played a game which intimidated you to the point where it was hard to keep going?

I can agree with you there my friend. a while ago i got a good deal on silent hill, for the PS1. Yeah i know its old, outdated, but it wasn't used and it was free, you wanna fight about it? anyway i just started it and i get attacked, and i think, where the freak'en power button at. and i've never pick that game up since.

No game (or movie for that matter) has ever really scared me enough to the point where I wouldn't want to play it anymore. Actually it is very rare for a game or movie to actually scare me at all, so when it happens it kind of encourages me to want to finish it even more.

Umm, whenever i play games that scare me, ie. Dead Space and Fear, i can't play them past 8 because it scares the crap out of me. I know that's kind of weird for a person my age, but it is what it is.
And i've played games where they were so difficult that i couldn't keep playing it. Some examples are: Modern Warfare 2 on Veteran and Street Fighter IV (I'm just really bad on SF though).
But i've never really played a game where both of these happened at the same time.

I don't know why but I have a weird fear of swimming on the surface of water in video games, even when I know I can't be killed (examples are Shadow of the Colossus and the beginning of Bioshock). But the only games that really scared me a lot were Dead Space and Condemned.

like "Creepy" scary?. Dead Space.. easily did it for me. Demon Souls a little bit. But it was more of a "I don't want to die and risk not finding my body!!"
THAT is how Demon Souls scares me.

when i was like a kid i couldnt even get past the area in resident evil lol. I grew out of that. Dead space did not terrify me but it did make me jump a couple times. Every1 complains about the pacing i thought it was fine. Cant wait for dead space 2.

yes because in the jaws game you have to swim across the ocean and i got scared to see jaws come out and rip your guy to shreads and bring on amazing action but its horrible you even see the guy grip the land when you die

That new game that is out that involvesyou useing a flashlight to kill your enamies (forgot the title) borrowed from a friend if it wasent for the erie tone and background it wouldnt be that bad otherwise its like a residant evil game that just gives you this feeling that somethingn is just going to come out of nowhere and kill you in an instant.

Bioshock.....i dont know why but its just so eerie even for someone my age ...its an exellent game but just the fact of opening a bathroom stall and being raped by a civillian on steroids really gets me

Not really, I mean sure it will scare the crap out of me for 5min but I like that! Example, Alan Wake scared me a bit but when I come down to whats the chances that a bunch of shadows will attack me?
