What do you hate about a horror game?

The Atmosphere, People who played S.T.A.L.K.E.R would understand.

• Jumpscares (this ruined Slender for me - it pretty atmospheric until he appeared behind a corner, fully visible, with a scary chord played. Yes, I "jumped". But the mood was totally ruined after that second and I didn't want to play anymore, even if it was only the second page. While Silent Hill or Corpse Party were scary/creepy, but there weren't things like that, making me not want to play because the atmosphere is ruined)

• lack of storyline (this is probably another thing that made me not try to replay Slender. I don't think it's fun for me to play it just to get scared. I need to be interested in what will happen. I don't really like getting scared, but Silent Hill or The Exorcist made me want to go further regardless of it)

• action, or at least unnecessary action (Silent Hill: Shattered Memories would be better just as an adventure game, without those annoying chases. While the city streets were atmospheric as hell, the monsters from the fog in the first SH weren't really scary - more annoying. The indoor levels were far better paced if you ask me)

When they lack originality.

I hate being scared xD

Jump scares, they just startle you, they are not scary

Jump scares- because I'm a pussy.

Nothing... I really like horror games with a creepy story and a scary atmosphere! :)

most of the horror games have poor graphic

screamers.

When, in games like Dead Space, you immediately know what you're up against, meaning you are able to see the creatures in full light and there's hardly any ambiguity to them. This just makes the game less scary and therefore less of a horror game.

it's not horror enough

Any constant cheap scares. Without a good build-up i HATE those things. You know, body dropped from the ceiling, monster appearing right in your face, something like that.

I just don't like scary stuff.

I hate lack of innovation. Seeing things done over and over to the point they stop being scary. Like the Slender game types etc. I absolutely love scary surprises though. Things you'd least expect. That said, Weeping Angel analogues are always fun to encounter.

The best horror game series that I ever played is the entire Fatal Frame (Project Zero) collection. It have all things needed to create the best horror experience:

• Perfect BGM and SFX to help the ambience (the games isn't so scary if you turn the volume off, even worse if you play another mucis while playing)
• Perfect illumination: if you control the brightness as the game needs, you have the real feeling of walking on an abandoned place only with a flashlight (i'm a seasoned UrbEx, so I know what I'm talking about).
• The story grows on you if you really like the game: I love japanese horror stories since they use the right kind of psychologic horror.

Jump scares - games like Dead Space are littered with them. A strategically placed jump scare CAN be effective, but if you're just putting them everywhere it becomes predicable, and becomes annoying instead of scary.

Providing you with huge guns full of ammo - how scary can a game be if you're armed to the teeth and can take down an entire army by yourself?

You can buy it on desura.

the spam of horror games on youtube...

They're Boring

I don't like to be in constant fear while playing a game.

ummm, i dont like the whole idea of horror games.... but the thing i hate the most is surprising scary things....

Some of the decisions the characters make, it's like they have no common sense. I guess you can call it "horror logic."
