RE: What is too much for you to handle? - dph314 - 05-18-2011
I don't think I've ever seen my "limit" in a game. Movies are a lot easier for someone's gore-level to top out on I think, since even though games and movies alike aren't real, a game is always just a game, but movies, you get to see the actual person and not just pixels. But I think the worst is anything...surgical(?) I guess would be the term? Like I can watch someone get stabbed and shot all day, but for some reason when I see a Lumbar Puncture done on the show House or somethin' like that, I cringe. I think it's because I relate more to the medical procedures, like it's hard to empathize being shot, but when someone gets a needle jammed into their spine or their eye or something like that...not pleasant

to me nothing was really too bad but then again i have no finished the game cause of a few in game limitations
but I think that one thing I hated was trigger areas that set entities active along with scare noises
and of course being too insane and falling the the ground and being defenseless against enemies
a great suggestion is to make the player fall to the floor and then a grunt noise and of course the evil terror theme
but also you have to out run it or something
but it has to be timed in a certain way for the grunt to not kill or harm the player

The sounds of them sawing through that poor fellow was a bit too much for me.

Nothing in the game would be too much to handle, I think...

Lol. You are more afraid of the penis than of the dead body?

Want a tutorial on how to make the most horrifying game ever?
Well here go some tips:
-Environments as dark as you can with no lantern.
-Monsters must appear only in key areas, such as when you open the door in the other side of it accompanied with a scary sound, when you turn around, when you go trough a corner, or when you pick a key item.
-Instead of making the monsters disappear, make them return to a route so the player has an hard time to get away from it.
-Record the more disturbing sounds you find on the web into the game.
-Place the sounds in specific points in space, such as wall holes, from the ceiling directioning the players visual field into that direction and activating a monster behind the player.
-Create disturbing scenes such as the skulls one when you open some thing.
-Make the lights go off without noticing in some place.
-Change the environment lights according to specific events that you may script to occur.
-Make things fall around the player with sounds(such as laughs, cries, mainly childish ones).
And be creative. If you put all that in a game, you'll get people scared(most won't play your mod but ---)

the title reads as what is too much for you to handle, not what you are too afraid of
