The most disturbing game youve played

[SuperXAsh]

From the crazed fellows at Midway, comes The Suffering,one hell of a survival horror game. Probably one of the best ever.

The setting is Carnate Island, at it's infamous prison facility. You play as the recently brought in inmate, Torque. He did some bad #### to get put here, and is on Death Row for his crimes, though he claims he doesn't remember them.

Well that hardly matters at the beginning of the game, cause as soon as you are placed in your new cell, all HELL breaks loose. Your fellow inmates are brutally slaughtered one by one, and the guards meet a similar fate. Now it's just Torque left alone in the cell block, but is he really alone?

This is one serious game, and has a very dark and twisted tone to it. No lines are delivered in classic Resident Evil campiness, you play the role of a bad guy whose forced to make his way out of this hellhole before he becomes one of the new permanent residents.

Another interesting thing to this game is the choice to do either good or bad when meeting new people. You can save 'em and take 'em with you or put em out of their misery and out of your way.

Course each choice plays a role in your overall ending. From what I've been told, playing the angel riff doesn't necessarily guarantee a happy ending. *hasn't beat the game yet*

Instead of zombies, demons or possessed townsfolk... you get instead... ghostly-like creatures (guess you could call some of them demons actually) who are back from the dead. What also makes them all different from the rest of the pack is the fact that each individual type of enemy symbolizes one method of execution. So there's an enemy who is the walking manifestation of a firing squad, an enemy whose the manifestation of lethal injection, a manifestation of being BURIED ALIVE, and many others. Many nasty creatures.

Torque's not entirely safe from the madness either, as he has a very nasty alternate personality of his own. One that looks like something Clive F'n Barker would conjur up. Hell, most of the enemies in this game look like they'd be right at home with Barker's Cennobites AND his Tortured Souls figures.

The game doesn't take place entirely in the prison, while a great deal of it DOES take place there, you'll find yourself going all over Carnate Island and going into the darkest places and uncovering some of it's more nastier secrets.

The weapons selection is very cool too, from melee weapons like a prison Shiv to a Thompson Machine gun and onward.

Overall, a great game to play, and can at times be very spooky as you get more and more into the atmosphere of the situation.

A trully great and at times horrifying gaming experience. *

<font color='#348781'>I've heard of this game, It looks and sounds very cool, this and the movie.

[Lord Jimifulss]

<font color='#000080'>Survival horror can only be done so many times before it becomes played out and lame. Resident Evil ruined it for everybody, and this game is far too obviously yet one more RE wannabe. I say that we ditch the whole survival horror genre and move onto something original, which I know is hard to swallow, since &quot;Original&quot; and &quot;Video Game&quot; almost never go hand-in-hand these days.

[mechagodzilla3]

<font color='#0000FF'>This game looks werid.

[SuperXAsh]

That's just your opinion Jimifulss. That's like saying that they should stop making RPGs since it's been done to death. C'mon Jimi, it's been done so many times... gods what are they thinking? That or sports games, c'mon... way too many of them and they've been overdone so many times that I'm about to pull my hair out. Damn unoriginal *******s.

Wrestling Games!!! Same damn thing, just better graphics and a few new moves to do. Talk about unoriginal or uninspired.

All the one hundred and one Japanese Giant Mech games. Same damn concept over and over again. Same could be said with all those damn Samurai games. Talk about cheap hacks reusing their #### continuously.

What about Mario? He's been used so many damn times that it's not even funny anymore. A golfer, a race car driver, a doctor, a tennis player, list goes on and on. That's unoriginal too Jimi, may they burn in the hells of unoriginality. I mean make someone else to be in these friggin' retreads of the same damn thing over and over and over again.

First-person shooters!!! God damn there's a genre that's been so over done, that they all look like frikkin' alike to me now. Same damn concept. Go into some hostile territory and blow the #### out of stuff. Anything that gets in your way, BOOM, gone.

Fighting Games, oh MAN is there an unoriginal genre if I've seen one. Damn them.. damn them all!!! How many times must we see Ryu or Terry Bogard throwing kicks and punches? They're all the same thing, a multicultural fighting tournament to see whose the best when it's just basically going to be the Japanese characters just about EVERY TIME.

Zelda games!!! God damn... how many times are they gonna dig up that dead corpse and reuse it? Gannon must be like Lex Luthor, never learns that he just can't beat the hero of the stories. They can add whatever little gimmicks they want to the Zelda games, it's all the same thing now Jimi. C'mon, we need something different.

Poke'mon. Geezus CHRIST MAN!!! Same damn concept over and over and over and over and over.

I'm afraid there is little left that IS original Jimifulss. We live in the dark days of games apparently. Where the graphics may change but not much else. &nbsp;http://www.kaijuphile.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sly.gif

<font color='#000080'>Damn dude, calm down. I think you're taking this a just a wee bit too personally. All I did was state an opinion, that's no reason for you to jump on my back like a badger with space issues. Now put down the rusty fork and breathe.

I'm sorry dude... I snapped at ya and I really had no right to... but it just sounded... kinda hypocritical to me. Ya know what I mean?

That and I really liked this game.

[SuperXAsh]

So what if Resident Evil made the modern model of what all survival horror games today go by today. There's still room for innovation, still room for something new and original in survival horror.

Hell I'm still waiting for a game that will allow for one to punch and kick the zombies,demons, etc. as well as beat them over the head with any nearby blunt objects. Be it, lamps, metal poles, hammers, wrenches, boards with nails in em, etc. I mean, you need something to keep your character alive when the bullets run out. Something you can swing pretty well too. Something the Silent Hill series has yet to perfect, cause if some nasty *** creature's trying to peel off my skin, I'm gonna cave his skull in with my trusty lead pipe. I'm also terrible at trying to run past enemies in such games.

Resident Evil: Outbreak did a good job at something like this, but the said blunt objects quickly disappeared in some cases.

Something that's reliable, got a good reach, and could cause alotta damage. Cause the knife they used to give you don't cut it (pun not intended) at all for me.

Give me a chainsaw, an axe, a lawnmower ( http://www.kaijuphile.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif &nbsp;100 points to those who get that referrenence), a big thick stick to bludgeon enemies to death with. Something that one could conserve ammo with, cause that's what some logical people would do if ever a situation like this would arise. They'd be saving the ammo for something worth it and jumping into the groups of zombies with sweaty palms wrapped around a sharpened axe. &nbsp;http://www.kaijuphile.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sly.gif

I'd like to be able to shoot open doors with such high-powered weaponry. Screw finding keys, I'm making my own with my trusty double barrel. &nbsp;http://www.kaijuphile.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/darklord.gif

Tell that to the game designers. They haven't figured this out yet. http://www.kaijuphile.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/nonono2.gif

[Shin lvl2 Goji]

I'm sure most of us have played one sometime or another.Ever played a game that seems to show that the designers were drinking saké and threw in some weird thing? The first game that comes to mind for me is Majora's Mask now there's a strange game lots of dfferent stuff that if you stop and look at it it can freak you out.Another game that's probably 1,000 times worse than that is Goemon Mystical Ninja for N64 man there's not a more strange game I've ever come across.You can tell it was probably more of a hit in Japan but going to the fortune teller and experiencing that or if you get to the game over screen you'll laugh your head off when you see those red and blue guys with the hula hoops or whatever happens I forget I haven't played it in a long time.Oh and you fight these Sumo wrestler kites as enemies-that's right kites that are shaped like sumo wrestlers and enemies that look like cheap toys they sell at South of the Border.So what games have you played that make you go "man now that's saké influenced!" from having weird stuff in it

[mechagodzilla3]

The most disturbing game i played was Manhunt

[Cole Deschain]

Eh. Manhunt was skeevy, but it was a nice, down to earth skeevy.

But Kirby... now there was a scary thought. A little creampuff that EATS EVERYTHING. GAHHHHH!

In all seriousness, I'd say the original Resident Evil, before it spawned a host of imitators. It was actually scary back then...

[MothraMan]

Well i dont play too many scary games. The only one i played was 7th Guest. Anyone heard of it?

[Archaic_Avenger]

well, some of the levels of Centipede and Yoshi's Island can be pretty scary. i had a disturbing bad dream concerning Eggman. but i guess the most disturbing game i ever played was the GBA version of Tomb Raider. i mean, you had to shoot people. i'm just not into that. blowing up robots or killer bugs, i can handle, as long as there's no blood, but shooting people. i just cant handle that.

Rodan2000

[Shadow]

MANHUNT is really disturbing, but Grand Theft Auto games are disturbing too, but entertaining, extremely entertaining.

[SuperXAsh]

It's a toss-up between Manhunt and the Suffering for me. Suffering was just freaky as hell with all the sick personifications of various modes of execution, not to mention the atmosphere and not knowing when the "Evil Force" will show you another vision or two.

Manhunt's just disturbing on all levels... but still manages to be fun... in a sick disturbing way.

:kinggoji: :gamera: :kingkong:

[Sauron]

I'd say the most disturbing game I ever played was the game that never gets credit for spawning the 3rd person horror genre... Alone in the Dark. This Lovecraftian story of a man getting stuck in his dead uncle's mansion is the most unsettling game I have ever played. There was no point in the game that I didn't have a crazy high sense of anxiety.

The 2 sequels that came out were decent, but part 2 was incredibly hard, and the 3rd one was too Resident Evilish.

The 2 sequels that came out were decent, but part 2 was incredibly hard, and the 3rd one was too Resident Evilish.I've played that game before. It was about as scary as polygons can be. It was weird and freaky. You had to prevent that weird beast thing from entering the mansion and go room to room. I think i got it on a demo or full version from PC Gamer.

[Evil alla Pure]

Manhunt defintely. That game scares the crap out of me. Anybody ever played any of the Clocktower games. I've heard they can be disturbing.

[CII]

Kinda makes me wonder if anyone has ever played 'Redneck Rampage'. Though hillarious in its light, especially the cussing. Some of the slang terms used in it were a bit disturbing.

[Pug Puppy]

There was a scene in Dinocrisis 2 that chills me to this day. The lady soldier had her survivalist buddy covering her with his AK47 as she was plotting to get them out. A dino ambushes AK guy and offs him.

[Metal Zombie]

The original Oddworld games one the Playstation were disturbing as hell to me. The one on Xbox looks too goofy though. And Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem REALLY got to me. And I've been wanting to play the original Alone in the Dark forever...

[Saruman]

Alone in the Dark, what a sick and twisted game that was, but it was one awesome game and the sequels I thought were pretty lame.

The Silent Hill series is pretty disturbing. I dont know what it is about them, I think it has something to do with the way things seem to move so slow, but they really can get you on edge.

Of course you have to play Horror games in the dark to really make them worth playing though, oh and its even better if your home alone. :darklord:

[Kaiju_Sensai]

Conker's Bad Fur Day. Disturbing, but utterly hilarious. Especially getting drunk & pissing on your enemies and even the killer Teddy Bear army.

[Solar_Behemoth]

A computer game called "Redneck Rampage."

It is basically about you going around shooting hillbillies!

Pretty entertaining, but disturbing too.

Oh, and beer is your health, and you can shove dynamite up farm animal's asses! Pretty crazy... rednecks chasing you with rifles saying "Get off my land, boy!" or "I'm gonna upon up a can of whoop-*** on ya boy!"

[Figment]

By disturbingly strange, I would say Wario Ware, though I like that game, nit still has to be one of the strangest games ever to come out of Nintendo. From picking noses to cutting steaks to jumping over sharks to sentai hero Mario versus Koopa. That was one of the best games of last year.

[kent]

Manhunt definitely was disturbing. But it was a fun game.

[HolyGoji777]

id say the original resident evil. i remember playing that in the middle of the night with a friend and jumping at certain parts. parasite eve is a disturbing game as well.

[CII]

Yeeehaah! So I'm not the only one who's played it. Good.

[Gawdziller]

Conker's Bad Fur Day. Disturbing, but utterly hilarious. Especially getting drunk & pissing on your enemies and even the killer Teddy Bear army.

Now there's a disturbing game. While funny, there was something about it that kind of disgusted me. I think part of it might have been that Conker made his debut in Diddy Kong Racing and was just this cutesy little cartoon squirrel, and then they go and pit him against a villain that sings "I am the Great Mighty Poo, and I'm going to throw my s--- at you..." :D

[Alien-G]

The Resident Evil games are pretty freaky and disturbing

[queen_ghidorah]

Mine was the first Clock Tower for SNES......it was stressing because you never knew what was going to happen, and the gameplay was very inusual. I heard that Parasite Eve was a Bizarre game and so disturbing, I wanna play o.o....

[RadoGoji]

Another game that's probably 1,000 times worse than that is Goemon Mystical Ninja for N64 man there's not a more strange game I've ever come across.You can tell it was probably more of a hit in Japan but going to the fortune teller and experiencing that or if you get to the game over screen you'll laugh your head off when you see those red and blue guys with the hula hoops or whatever happens I forget I haven't played it in a long time.Oh and you fight these Sumo wrestler kites as enemies-that's right kites that are shaped like sumo wrestlers and enemies that look like cheap toys they sell at South of the Border.So what games have you played that make you go "man now that's saké influenced!" from having weird stuff in it

[/color][/size]

Actually, Mystical Ninja is one of my favorite N64 games, so I don't think it's bad at all, but I do agree with you on the strangeness. But in my opinion, that makes it all the more fun.

[Kaiju_Sensai]

Once again I have to whip out Conker's Bad Fur Day.

[Bruticus]

Umm...I guess I'd have to choose Guilty Gear X.

Strangeness
-Heavy rock and metal influence (Ky Kiske and Zappa, anyone?)
-Sol-Badguy...what?
-A chick who dresses as a witch and whose guitar can shoot beams
-A cross-dressing little boy who dresses as a nun
-A doctor who wields a giant scalpel, baseball, umbrella, and wears a paper bag over his head
-A classy vampire who recites Shakespeare over the bodies of his dead foes
-A pirate girl whose purpose in GGX2 is to buy a present for a fellow pirate
-Zappa...and everything about him

. . .I must own this game.

Wierd games I've played?Hmmm.....would have to Worms 2 and onwards.Exploding sheep,grannies,ming vases,literal carpet bombs and last but not least,the Concrete Donkey.

[Neo-Crucifer]

I can't believe someone hasn't mentioned Earthworm Jim yet...:O

A goldfish guarded by cat drones, a professor with a monkey growing out of his head, cows falling on people, and Planet Heck, domain of Evil the cat, with the ultimate evil; elevator music...:nervous:

How can you not see the insanity?

I would like to add to that:

Disco zombies
pig riding showdowns
evil lawyers (aren't they all?)
snot for a sidekick
a psychotic puppy.

And I haven't really scratched the surface.

[SuperXAsh]

Shouldn't this topic title be "LSD or acid influenced games" instead? Wouldn't that be a more fitting title?

Ok... oddball games...

-Earthbound:
C'mon... it's Earthbound... that should clue you in enough. One of the oddest games of all time. Talking to the NPCs is at times the funniest thing you can do... cause they say the damndest things. There's more... oh yes... there's plenty more. Talking piles of puke, talking animals, animate objects (mushrooms, plants, CARS, etc.) that attack you as well as the strangest enemies to fight EVER (Fighting Hippies, Crazed old Ladies, drunken party guys, cops who know "Super Ultra Mambo-Tango-Foxtrot Martial Arts", etc.), and then the coup de grace... the Saturns, those armless, big-nosed, hair-bowed little... THINGS who talk in the weirdest text. BOiNK!! WE FeEL GrOOVe!!!

The fighting screen should even clue you into the inspiration for this game... a background with tripping colors. Acid Trip man... acid Trip.

*smile,smile*

-Poke'mon:
C'mon... look at the frikkin' monsters in this. Look at such creatures as Sqirrdle and try and tell me that he wasn't some nasty little creature that popped out to attack some Nintendo Executive during an Acid Trip. Hell most of these damn creatures look like Dr. Suess nightmares... so you know what kind of territory we're going into.

-Super Mario Brothers:
Miyamoto must've been huffin some major **** when he thought up the world for his plumber/jump-man character. Flying Turtles, the goombas, mushrooms that make you larger (" and one pill will make you small"), little men that throw spiked balls at you... and turn into little monsters themselves once they hit the ground, among other things. Just pure slice of acid influence here folks. No denying it. Miyamoto musta dipped into Lewis Carrol's special bag when he thought up this **** and not to mention "Doki Doki Panic" (a strange little game with arab characters that would eventually be refashioned into Super Mario Bros. 2 for the US release.).

:kinggoji: :gamera: :kingkong:

[Zearatul]

Pacman 2: Pac's Revenge, the level where there are a whole bunch of scientist running around for you to eat was very bloody.

[Megabyte]

I have to agree that Earthworm Jim and Pokemon must have some drug use in their creations, but I think any of the DDR games takes the taco. I mean seriously, have you seen the colorful sezure inducing backgrounds?!? And have you heard the dreadful music? I mean holy **** dude, that some wierd stuff!!:crazy: I am sure someone had some acid when creating all those colors....
...and all those flashy pictures of things morphing into different shapes and colors....
my friend actually got a seizure watching all of that :laugh:

[DragonLord]

Anyone ever heard of "Ribbit King"?

[Shadow]

Anyone ever heard of "Ribbit King"?OMG! Yes, that is one strange game. It's golf, with frogs...you hit frogs with clubs...why must they come out with stupid games...

[DragonLord]

Don't forget the talking picknick basket.

[SuperXAsh]

The Japanese are weird at times. That's putting it lightly too.

Take for example an odd arcade game from the Land of the Rising Sun, (don't remember it's name) where you spank this large plastic *** that's sticking out in front of the arcade box... and the prizes for this are like plastic represenations of poop. Yes... you heard me right. I'm sure someone with a better knowledge of all things Japanese can tell you more, but I try to block most of that information from my mind.

:kinggoji: :gamera: :kingkong:

[Metal Zombie]

I've seen one like that in a magazine, only instead of spanking with a paddle, the umm, "controller" was a hand with an extended index finger that you, umm, "plug" into the "arcade unit."

Other weird games would be the Oddworld games. Seriously messed up stuff. Oh, and Tomba! I think that was it's name. Where you play as a pink haired guy who fought pig monsters! And I definately agree with SuperXAsh on the Mario games. Miyamoto must've been on something. He probably still is, especially considering Pikmin. That game sucked a lot of hours out of my life, though...

Miyamoto's inspiration for Pikmin was, get this, his garden. Hmm.. what a strange garden he has indeed.

[SuperXAsh]

Yeah... his "special garden." :laugh:

:kinggoji: :gamera: :kingkong:

[Metal Zombie]

Miyamoto's inspiration for Pikmin was, get this, his garden. Hmm.. what a strange garden he has indeed.
Oh, I knew that. I just wonder what kind of garden it was now. I think they actually released Pikmin flowers shortly after the first game, now that I think about it...

[Cosmos]

Though I loved resident evil series, they certainly aren't the best at what they do. Granted they established a genre, but they certainly don't perform the best.
If the purpose of a survival Horror genre game is to frighten, then RE falls surprisingly short as a series, it's creepy, sometimes startling but rarely frightening.
Silent Hill series suceeds in frightening much better, and Fatal Frame series as well.
Fatal Frame 2 holds champion as the game that scared me to the point I didn't want to play it any more.
I've always liked a good scare, and have a horror movie collection to support that claim, and though I can enjoy a cinema thrill, the survival Horror game has those moments of....moments, sorry, hours of wondering aimlessly waiting for scaryness to get you. Which is an aspect of horror that films fail to communicate. The pace of a film demands progression, Survival Horror puts the weight of progression onto the player, which partially portrays the feeling of helplessness one might get when uncertain about their ordeal.
How long will this last another hour? perhaps two more days?
And though Resident Evil gets all the respect I can give it for being the first, and for doing it well, it certainly isn't the best, now that it has established a genre expect the flood to continue.

[Void Skull]

hmmm... Alien Hominid, although it's one of my favorite games, when you turn the gore feature off, "pretty flowers and sparkles" come out instead of... pounds of meat. Though that is my favorite part of the game!:p

[Kevzilla]

I played this game on the internet where shot letter kids! I only payed once and I was horrorflad beyoued befilt. And that blood pungoo game here's comes scenoded.

[SuperXAsh]

I'd also have to add in Postal 2... it just lets you do all sorts of... odd... things. Like pee on people, or shove a cat, *** first, onto the barrel of one of your guns, and some of the scenarios are just crazy... like the PTA-ish demonstrators attacking and trying to kill the makers of the game (who appear in this) with guns and whatnot.

But it's still fun.

[Mecha74]

'Silent Hill' gets my vote, especially that opening dream sequence.

Another is 'Doom Troopers' for the Sega Genesis. You know a game is weird when one of the bosses is a skeleton on a ledge who continually barfs nonstop filling the room that you're stuck in with him until you drown in it. That is ofcourse unless you are able to bounce the pieces and parts of himself he throws at you back at him with your guns before that happens.:crazy:

and now I change my vote... and the trophy goes to... *drum roll*... THE BIBLE GAME!

I mean really, that is seriously messed up! You do everything in the bible in that game! FREAKY!





EDIT: Yes, EVERYTHING

I love The Suffering games! I got both of 'em. I also like Doom 3. Really cool, and scary!

......Wow, get your head out of the gutter dude. I thought the same thing at first, but the story is amazing, and this game utilizes some of the best graphics for a game like this. Once you actually play it the game becomes really good.

As for the most disturbing game, I would have to say Resident Evil 2. Couldn't play though it, now I don't go near the horror genre at all....

i've played it. i never judge a game before i give it a chance. and playing it made me think of how great a Zelda game would be with Yugioh charaters. yes thats a joke, like Kingdom hearts.

meh. That is your opinion. I by no means agree with it, and would argue it with you further if it wasn't off topic.

Play the latter part of King Kong in a dark, secluded room, and I guarantee you within thirty seconds your hands will be sweating. If that game would have had more gore in it, it coulve been one scary rampage.

But the most disturbing game Ive ever played is Doom 3, in a fun -- freaky-*** mutant kind of way...

Some game "mods (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,194416,00.html)". Then there is Border Patrol (http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/story?id=1910119&page=1&CMP=OTC-RSSFeeds0312). I'd say they could be considered "disturbing", no?

Tomb Raider scared the crap out of me. You're running down a corridor and BOOM there's a giant rock coming out to squish you. Or you round a corner and some huge mummy thing leaps at your face. EEP!
