Is Half - Life 2 scary ? (OP is lil girl)

Any scary factor is immediately countered by the awesomeness of the fact that you can cut those zombies in half by shooting them with buzzsaws. ;)

OP's cute

Well. I can't play horror games (and I don't know why, I love horror movies though) like Amnesia or Outlast but Half-Life is absolutely not a horror. You can kill every a**hole that scares you and it's great. Anyway it's classic and must-play at least once... a month

Could be scary.
The fast zombies and headcrabs in tight spaces could give you a jump or two ^^

Play in the day light with people home, that might help, its not a horror game but has creepy elements.

Ravenholm did spook me a bit but after killing things I got into the groove.

Nope. I think there's only one or two jumpscares in the game, but you can easily miss them since you're always in full control of Gordon.
Ravenholm can be creepy at first. I stopped playing for 2 or 3 days after I read things about it, but I was not scared at all when I finally played through it.
Aside from that, I can guarantee you that it's a great game. Play Episode One and Two after that, and play Half-Life 1 if you haven't.

Pfff... scary. Nope.

Play, Cthulhu Dark Corners of Earth if you want a scary game. That game will also kill your fear to scary games. About half life. The story is really cool, there is no scary stuff there. The game is pretty fun :>

I did Ravenholm just using gravity-gun, pretty hard achievement

There might be some 'jump-scare' moments if an enemy suddenly pops out or something (some people can be very susceptive to that) - but no, HL2 is not scary.

Ravenholm for me is more depressing than scary. And the scary moments are mostly just jump scares, startles. I'd say go for it. Also, it is a great game, but not the best game on PC ever. It really doesn't compare to masterpieces like Bioshock, F.E.A.R, Deus Ex, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Max Payne 2, Grand Theft Auto 4, S.T.A.L.K.E.R - Shadow of Chernobyl, Mass Effect or Spec Ops The Line. But comes pretty close indeed, same tier as Biosock Infinite, Metro Last Light or Unreal 2 The Awakening, I'd say.

Half-life 2 is fine, but I do remember there being a semi scary scene in one of the episodes

Not scary but one of the best games i ever played.

i got scared so much when i played the ravenholm level

You will get a heart attack and instantaneously die.

People who say it's not scary have obviously forgotten Ravenholm... we don't go there.

Yes... but not that bad. The stupid poison headcrabs freak me out every single time. I think it's something to do with the noises they make and how they're darkly colored and small and like to jump at your face and will put you in serious danger if there's anything else around at the time.

Over all though, I'd say play it, it's certainly not the scariest game around by a long shot ;p

hl2 made me poo my pants

edit: hl1

No, except for ravenholm which is definitely horror inspired.

Not scary, but the Ravenholm part is scary, more in the glaucous way.

only the revenholm part and it's not THAT scary.

If you happen to play with Oculus Rift, it can be extremely scary. Otherwise? A little bit in moments when headcrabs flying to your face, but that's all.

Black mesa is more scary for meh ;p
