I still hear this music in my nightmares
For me DS was easy AF sadly, you just need to use the Bola Gun and you will do whatever you want versus BT... I just ran into them and blocked them as soon they appeared.Death Stranding's BT encounters actually had me taking breaks. They're really tense, made worse by the fact that some of these fuckers aren't detected by your scanner and can sneak up on you pretty easily unless you look very closely. You could just feel something's about to go wrong each time they're around. This game is like part mountaineering, part sci-fi horror, part transporter, part stealth action.
Also in Death Stranding, some terrains are really damn difficult to navigate, and there's the anxiety that I'm definitely going to restart the delivery if one of those drops damages the actual cargo because my OCD wants an S Rank for everything. At least the game has an extremely good save system that allows you to save often.
And again in Death Stranding, these damn storms fuck everything and wind physics actually affects your balance. You could either try to wait it out if you're lucky enough to find a cave, which I don't have the patience for, or you could just yolo it and watch as your batteries and stamina drain from running through the storm too much.
I love the game but whew, it affects my nerves more than any Souls game ever did. The way this open world tests you is really crazy at times. I love it.
I also came into this thread to talk about ZombiU!ZombiU
I played that game in long ass bursts because it was so addictive and I would get so wrapped up in trying to get my character to survive.
Also, this game features one of the most fucked up and terrifying locations in a game ever. I'd consider myself a jaded lifelong Horror fan and the Baconfield building was the scariest, grimmest shit I've played since Silent Hill.
Came for this. Until P.T. came along, no other game came close to invoking such heart pounding anxiety in me.That horrible maze level in the original max Payne where you are following the trail of blood and there's a baby crying. Horrible
Everything about Amnesia. not being able to properly look at the monsters or you go insane is such a genius game mechanic that makes it even scarier
When a boss in a KH game on critical mode uses their desperation move
Especially when it's match point and you're up against their best player in a 1v1... and then this starts playing.
Really?
