Is Resident Evil 5 too scary for me?

Hi guys, I'm not a fan of scary games or horror stuff in general. Played RE4 until this giant monster alien boss or whatever it was. RE4 wasn't THAT scary too me but kept me awake one or two nights (:P). I guess I've got too much imagination. For example Ravenholm in HL² wasn't really scary at all. I thought it was a great fun. Now RE5 got my attention just because everyone is playing it and it just seems to be not a real scare. First off: The setting is placed in Africa -> sunny weather as it is shown in the screenshots. And from what I've seen it isn't really only about zombies. I mean most of the time you fight against those village people (:P) went mad. So what to you think? Can you recommend RE5 to a gamer who hates horror games?

Yes, I admit it wasn't that scary, apart from the levels where you are trapped in underground caves. Still very ejoyable and would recommend it to any who loves gory action with zombies. :)

Its fine. You can play it. You just gotta get used to the monster design.

Maybe I should play the demo? I thought the "monster/zombie" in RE4 were quite ... plain. I expected hordes of deadly zombies and got some angry farmmen.

PS: The zombie Spaniards at the end of Uncharted were the most creepiest stuff I've ever seen in a videogame. It was a pain go back to the game after they occured. Watched some walkthrough videos on youtube so I new what exactly I had to do and so I made it and in the end I just thought those things were a bit annoying but nothing to get scared. But at the beginning in this old shelter ... maaan.

im a jumpy person and the only game that has scared me this gen has been dead space. youd think with graphic improvements games would be scarier but the stuff i was playing in 2004 (fatal frame, doom III)...most current games dont even come close.

Seriously people are scared of what they are scared of.

Dontdiscriminate, appreciate.

On the subject, if the spaniards in the end of Uncharted scared you, the beasties in RE5 might give you an occasional freak out, but nothing to severe. Just play in short (like 30 minutes w/5 minute breaks) OR play co-op online or local, takes like 99% of the scare factor out.

[QUOTE="delta4062"][QUOTE="uRan_Ehr"] Co-op seems to be the complete right thing for me. Local co-op is with splitscreen?uRan_Ehr

RE5 is not too scary... might be jut a bit scary and more action...

Woah, you don't have to be so harsh. Not everyone is the same.

Anyways, TC its okay. Just something to get used to. If you are so good at imagining them,how hard is it to imagine you with a Rocket Launcher or with super-human strength yourself? Worked when I was really young :P

RE 5 is a great game. Killing the ugly creatures is part of the fun :)

(...) Can you recommend RE5 to a gamer who hates horror games?

Just to let you know: I've downloaded the demo and played it (game over when this axemanthing killed Sheva because I didn't know how to reload ammu :P) and I have to admit when this should be a survival horror game they could have tried more. I actually thought it was really funny. I definetly get the game along with GTA: CTW :)

Its soo strange that my worset memories from a videogame are from doom. I would watch my dad play it when I was five I think or younger. Those Huge round monsters with the eye and the teeth still give me a nightmare or two once every blue moon. The Uncharted Spaniards scared me for a while when I first saw them, - it was midnight at the time. But now they are harmless.

I haven't been scared from a videogame in a long time and looking for something scary but not like violent at the same time. Is there a game I would like? I was thinking about getting Bioshock but how scary is it and how violent is it? Maybe I would prefer psychological horror rather than violent physical horror.

the only thing that scares me is Dead Space this gen.

I guess I'll get it and play it with a friend either online or splitscreen. Don't know if he got the game.uRan_Ehr

RE5 is really not that scary (especially when you have a co-op partner), but FEAR 2 is a much different story, that game is pretty terrifying

IMO the better the graphics the less scary a game can be, unless they make a monster really cell shaded and gory and bloody but hey what more can u get.
