GameFAQs Contests

I didn't beat space, but LOL at the notion that it's scarier than RE4.

I guess if you never played and survival horror game before RE4 it could be scary.


But I suppose then Banjo-Kazooie's Mad Monster Mansion would seem scary too.

I'd still take the Bottom of the Well to be scarier than RE4.

Jumping into that level's toilet is as scary as video games get.

It had the piano and the eel.

The only scary games I've ever played are Silent Hill 2 and Eternal Darkness. But I haven't played that many survival horror games.

Well, it's not as though RE4 has any "scary" moments to begin with.

Oh man, the piano still managed to scare me when I played it a couple months ago, and I knew it was coming!

Man, there's no way I could play a real survival horror game.

are you afraid of games that are dark or something

---

Well I love Fallout 3, and thats pretty dark at times! I don't know, theres just something about RE4 that creeped me out. I also beat Eternal Darkness (though was freaked out at times but that didn't stop me from beating it).

The only vaguely scary part of RE4 are the Regenerator segments.

yes, dark games are scary, why else would i not be playing nocturne right now?

In RE4 there was also this guy with a crossbow that was hiding so I couldn't see him and when he hit me the first time it scared the **** out of me.

Man, you guys aren't doing the little kid thing of "Nah, man, that movie wasn't scary," followed by waking up after 2 hours of sleep and 5 nightmares and running to your parents' bed thing, are you?

Because even listening to you guys talk about these things is creeping me out.

I got scared every time I switched to the dark ship in Ikaruga. Then the white ship came back and I was relieved.

I'll be playing RE4 soon after Christmas this year...and I can't believe I let Ryoko talk me into it with a playthrough-topic. I almost get too tense just playing the MGS-games! Games (and movies) of this genre aren't really why I play games, but if RE4's this big of an upcoming classic, I gotta try it I guess.

Can you refuse nominating Epona? NEIGH, you can't!

I think what made something like Fallout 3 not as scary for me though was VATs. Thats like a turn based system that lets you pause the action at any time, and set up attacks on different sections of your enemys body, so it was more strategic, while something like RE4 was all real time and I am admitedly not good at aiming in these third person action/fps type games. So that made it scarier for me, having things jump out at me and not knowing what to do.

I'm no fan of horror games, or films, but RE4 really isn't that scary! It's no worse than any other action game shooter -- there's just less lighting in RE4 than there is in other games. Unless slow motion zombie humans with torches freak you out, it's not too big a deal!

There are no foreign lands. It is the traveler only who is foreign.

Yeah overall RE4 isn't scary, but there are times where it'll make you jump if you aren't ready.

I get pretty scared every time the tentacles come out of people's head, especially when you're in close quarters.

And I've only played 23 of the games in the bracket >_>. Lol, haven't own a non-handheld Nintendo system since the SNES. God bless Capcom for deciding to port RE4 to the ps2 :p

Oh, so Ocarina of Time is now an M rated game?

Speaking of which:

"Although no Mario game has been rated M (Mature, ages 17 and up), GameStop made a mistake and accidentally said that Super Mario Galaxy was rated M."

This cracked me up.

Why did I pick Brawl to win the contest?

Limbo's scarier than most games mentioned, and it's a 2D downloadable game!

Clock Tower for the SNES is probably the scariest game I've played.

---
"I remember a time when someone called World of Warcraft 'World of WoW'"

RE4 has some scary parts, and it's probably the scariest RE outside REmake. The sound of the chainsaw, the bugs you hear but can't see, the Regenerators, the tense music.

You don't need straight horror for a scary game. All you need is tension.

"Oh that the world were more like Ulti." -MWC

The clock tower games take it, I think. You cannot defend yourself, and you -must- keep running in order to stay alive.

Unfortunately for those games, that doesn't even sound fun.

I'm playing through Resident Evil 4 for the first time right now, actually! Even though I've never played a survival horror game before, I'm not finding this one to be scary at all; I definitely think it's a blast to play, though. One of the most entertaining games I've played in some time.

The freakiest thing I've ever seen in a video game? Without a doubt, the "Mu Training" scene in EarthBound. I totally didn't expect it at all, and man, it freaked the **** out of me!

The scariest thing about RE4 is when you are new to the game and you just can't seem to kill the chainsaw guy and don't know how to handle him with a huge mob behind him.

Scariest game in the bracket is Super Mario Sunshine.

Pinatas will ****ing murder you in your sleep.

KommunistKoala is a horrible user.

I think RE4 was a type of "gaming shock" for a lot of people. I had never played a game like that before, and the infamous village fight in the demo kicked my ass many times before I finally triumphed.

Do any games in the bracket have zombies besides Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2, Dead Rising, and Plants vs Zombies?

Not sure if RE4/RE5 technically have zombies or not.

If random monsters count, then I'm sure that several of the RPGs have them.

Match XXXV: (5) Golden Sun vs. (12) Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal

Information

Name: Golden Sun
Year: 2001
Previous Performance: N/A

Name: Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal
Year: 2004
Previous Performance: N/A

Analysis

After being mistakenly removed by the board in favour of Fire Emblem, something I’ll never understand Golden Sun finally gets to shine in the contest. For a while I felt that this may have been a close match though even if you ignore the people hyping Golden Sun there isn’t much reason to think that the match may be a barnburner.

Ratchet & Clank games have never performed well in any polls; even Ratchet has only started to look half decent since the last contest. Personally I’m kind of surprised, while the series wasn’t anything special it is well recognized by people who played the Playstation 2. Then again newer platform characters have never been anything special and you could argue that Ratchet is the strongest new one.

Golden Sun was thought to be a forgotten Nintendo series until recently where the third game is coming out later this month. Even if you ignore that a new game is coming out the game does have a pretty hardcore fanbase, but I feel some people are overrating it a bit. Golden Sun is still a lower end Nintendo series that is on a handheld. While it is true that the game did well in the hype poll that doesn’t translate to strength and a reason why it probably did well was because it was a game from a series that was long thought to be dead compare to games where the last time it had a release was a couple of years ago at maximum.

Golden Sun should still win this match without too much trouble, like I said Ratchet & Clank have never looked good on GameFAQs so it would be surprising if it did now. Hopefully when everything is said and done Golden Sun finishes easily above Fire Emblem, that’ll teach them for switching it last contest.

charmander6000’s Bracket: Golden Sun > Ratchet & Clank: UYA

charmander6000’s Prediction: Golden Sun wins, 58.72% - 41.28%

A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice.

How many people here went with the cheeky Golden Sun > San Andreas upset? I thought about it, but I went with SA in the end.

to be honest, my bracket has UYA winning this match lol. I have my battle pick set for Golden Sun though.

And yes, I have San Andreas winning round 2.

I had it at first and then changed to SA yeah. It definitely could happen though!

GTA:SA's not in a great position; even if GS doesn't look that good and Dead Space gets blown out, we still saw RSE > GTA4 and GS is getting a game the day it faces GTA:SA. We're still probably going to have some level of doubt that GTA:SA can advance to R3 regardless of what happens in these next two matches unless you don't think GS gets close to RSE.

Epona: C^ C< C>, C^ C< C>

wow, I just realized that when KOTOR/DMC comes up, Asia is going to have a major hard-on for DMC. Polls show that DMC does amazingly well in asia, while KOTOR tanks really badly.

The day match helps Golden Sun, but I think it's now generally believed that San Andreas is stronger than GTAIV (might be completely wrong, but that's what we presume atm). Pokemon needed its ASV to beat what we presume is a weaker GTA, and I have hesitation thinking Golden Sun is stronger than any mainline Pokemon game. Pre-match edge still goes to GTA for me.

GBA games have been outperforming expectations so far, so I suppose I wouldn't rule it out...

Also I guess this means that Advance Wars is going to overperform against GSC, huh.

You'd think RSE/GTA4 would make SA the heavy favourite.

gamefaqs loves golden sun.

*Warcraft 3s main character leads an army of undead/zombies, and World of Warcraft has a zombie/undead race you can play as

*-FFX Spoilers-

Auron is a zombie, technically

-end FFX Spoilers-

*Fallout 3 has ghouls, though technically aren't zombies, look like them

*Fable has some zombies you fight for a few quests

*Disgaea has zombies you can both fight and recruit

*Dragon Age Origins has zombie enemies

*Both Devil May Crys have undead enemies

*I haven't played Silent Hill 2, but I assume that has them

*I remember Timesplitters 2 had a level you fight zombies

*Eternal Darkness had some zombies



And thats not even counting the bunch of jrpgs I'm sure have random battles with zombies.

Silent Hill 2 does not have zombies. Actually, I'm not sure what they are. Just monsters, I guess.
