Hello there! Since today is the Pinnacle of Spooktober, I’d like to ask offtopic a simple question: What is the scariest game, game mode, or experience you’ve had that isn’t in Horror game genre? (Eg. FNAF, Resident Evil 2, games that try to be scary.) I’m not looking for a joking answer, either. I mean a time that you were legitimately scared in a game that wasn’t a horror game. My scariest moment has to be from Star Wars Commando. Y’know, the abandoned Cruiser level. For those who haven’t played, the level has you and the rest of Delta squad investigate an abandoned Acclamator Assault ship. You enter the ship and find it relatively empty, save for some clones fighting an unknown creature. You only get a few passing glimpses at it, but never actually get a good look at it until after it kills all of the other clones and gets to you. Apparently a bunch of Trandoshans have invaded the ship and are going to give it over to the Seppies, but, being Clone Commandos, you stop that pretty easily. The scary ness of the level doesn’t come from the Trandoshans themselves, to me, it comes from the suspense and intrigue leading into the mission, and how you’re so just in the dark about it. In war, Intel is almost everything, and when you go in there you have nothing. More recently, the scariest game mode I have played would be Ewok Hunt in Battlefront 2. You play as a stormtrooper the night after the battle of Endor, and your main goal is to evacuate the planet on a shuttle. Problem is, you’re locked in first person, given a flashlight that only works a limited time before going into a cooldown, and there’s a bunch of Ewoks trying to hunt you down. At first, you’re alone in the dark. You need to find the rest of your squad in order to survive. As you try and find them you keep getting notified that one trooper after another was “Lost to the forest.” You cringe in fear, because you know each fallen trooper means one more Ewok to hunt you. Suddenly, you take damage, and the music changes from its ominous tone to sudden surprise. You look around and see no one, and find a large net of rocks on the floor. Foolishly, you have walked right into one of the Ewok’s traps. This was a costly blunder, because now your health can’t fully regenerate to max, making you an easier target for the Ewoks. When you reach your squad you find some comfort in numbers, but the Ewoks have plans for that. A bunch of glowing insects start flying around in the group, dealing damage over time to those foolish enough to group together. This scatters the group, allowing a few Ewoks to pick them off one by one, before you regroup and take them out. This goes on for what feels like forever, until you hear the shuttle arrive. In an instant, all sense of teamwork is gone, as all of the stormtroopers make a mad dash to where the shuttle’s landing spot is located. The Ewoks continue to hunt as you run, using wispies to slow troopers and make them an easy target. As the shuttle lands you fight off the now seemingly endless horde of Ewoks, and narrowly escape as the sole survivor of that horrible night on Endor... But that’s just me. How about you?
