Jump-scares: What's your opinion?

[AlexCarlson]

Jumpscares are okay as long as they are made in a professional way that actually makes sense. I don't like it when, in custom stories for example, you just pick up a key and some naked dead monster appears in front of you and your ears starts to bleed. That's just cheap and not enjoyable in any way. I think it's more quality to build up an atmosphere than having jumpscares in general. Jumpscares like a monster bashing through a door (like the first time you met the brute in Dark Descent) or if a bunch of boulders fall in front of a door is fine.
