critanium 5 Posted June 17, 2012 We all know DayZ is scary. But it isn't the "type" of scares you could find in a budget horror movie and in games such as Dead Space and what not. No, where DayZ gets its scares from is paranoia, and fear of death. Paranoia from distant gunshots or footsteps and fear of death from, well just about everything. So, I was wondering. Does your heartbeat rapidly escalate as you hear that distant makarov inside of the NW airfield?, when zombies chase you towards a building, and you need to decide to give possible bandits your location or to run?What I'm asking is this, what is scarier? Paranoia and fear of death scares, or "jump out" scares. (monster suddenly jumps infront of you) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kophka 109 Posted June 17, 2012 I'm big on immersion and RP, always have been. This game... when I get some peace and quiet, and can turn the lights down, this game can scare the hell out of me. It evokes other emotions like awe and disgust sometimes too.A couple of nights ago, I was wandering around by the church in Lapatino. As I sat there eating some canned goods and waiting for a friend to meet up with me so we could visit the Airfield, I watched the zombies spawn. About 100m from me, spawned 3 Priests. As I watched these Infected Priests slowly shuffle around, I couldn't help being moved at the thought that their faith didn't save them. Or maybe they sacrificed themselves to be with their flock, I'll never know which it was. I used a flare to draw them to a little ridge underneath a towering tree (oak?) where I put them down and decently buried them. On a side note, who ever was in charge of zombie behavior did an outstanding job. The way zombies investigate a light source at night, then dismiss it as "not-food" is just phenomenal. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
