HAHA! Vindicated!

One of my friends whom I told HL2 was scary and he only laughed at me in return has now admitted that it was scary after playing it.

 

[BlueWeasel]

Yes!

What took you so long to edit the OP? The title was up with no text in the body of the post for a few minutes.

Certainly more so than Doom 3. I was too pissed at the monster closets to be afraid.

 

[EyeMNathan]

I don't remember any scary parts. *shrug*

Ah...thanks for reminding me of Ravenholm....it wasnt THAT scary...but it is the ONLY part of the game that could be considered even remotely scary

i don't know when i was rollin around in that buggy through the tunnel and hit that massive burned out car road block (ala 28day later?) i was like "oh sh!t! better bust out the shotty". that part was pretty scary cause the fvckers didn't start coming until after you got out of the car and listened to the eriee silence.

just got to that part yesterday (never beat the game w/o cheating)...i suppose that was scary...but the zombies are slow as fvck and dont hurt you unless you have the reflexes of a 90 year old

Compared to Doom 3, Ravenholm was nothing.

 

[acemcmac]

I never played ravenholm or doom3... just the doom 3 demo... I really could use a good game ....

HL2 wasn't scarey. Doom 3, now that was scarey. After spilling my soda when the monster jumped out from under the stairs (after 10 mins of playing) I uninstalled it.

Painkiller was scarier than HL2. Doom3 pwned them both.

I got stuck in ravenholm and quit playing HL2.

Doom 3 > HL2 in terms of scaryness. Straight up hands down. Especially with the lights off, stereo blasting in 5.1.

Yeap. No matter how predictable Doom 3 got, its atmosphere was absolutely amazing.

EDIT: spelling

 

[sygyzy]

Doom was infinitely more scary. Painkiller and parts of Farcry too!

yeah, the zombie weren't the bad part it was those fast shreiking mothers. too bad they do very little damage. even on hard, the game wasn't that hard. that part would have been much creepier with more zombies and a couple more fast fvcks.

aside from the physics half life 2 is a so-so game i think.

Ban!!!!

The good thing about Ravenholm was how well it was set up, the way Alyx said "that tunnel leads to Ravenholm, we don't go there anymore" was absolutly perfect. The overall level wasn't that scary but the atmosphere was incredible. Haven't beaten the game (loading hl2 makes my HDD corrupt now for some reason)
