The violent screams and brutal crushing noises when you ran over enemies with the tank in Goldeneye. I had played Quake 2 by the time I got to that game, and that one is much more visceral and visually gory, but the Strogg convey virtually no humanity, unlike the human soldiers in GE64, who respond in very audible and human sounding terror when crushed. Someone who comes to sudden agony and is terrified of the grisly fate they're suffering, that really shook me as a kid, so even though I really enjoyed the power and speed of the tank, often I would avoid running enemies over because it felt too extreme for me, I couldn't bear doing it.

On the streets of St. Petersburg though, speed is critical and resistance is much tougher, so I found that blowing through barricades rapidly, basically not stopping to fight and just evading and charging through as much as possible, was my only viable strategy, and I didn't particularly like it, but I made peace with the fact that my hand was forced.
I could be a bit cruel at times though, like a boss or other high tier enemy causing me lots of grief, if they entered one of those long and drawn out death animations, I'd sometimes keep shooting at them for as long as they kept writhing in agony, just out of rage, just because fuck HIM.

Quake 2's POWs who kept wailing in insanity were disturbing in their own way, but you weren't supposed to shoot those.

Abstraction I guess? I mean look at the wacky as fuck perspective and partial (!) lens distortion. The scale with the lamp posts, as well as the fact that the city is just a couple few skyscrapers standing in a huge and otherwise empty grassy field, with seemingly a single road leading towards it, that's also all really weird if you actually think about it.

I love Adrian Carmack's art, and the coloring and shading here is still lovely (the way the stark yellow flames cast light on the thick brown plume of smoke emanating from it here is gorgeous), but the composition for this image was very quick and dirty. Perhaps it was a late development thing, and there was little time, but there's a couple of rough shortcuts here and there to Doom and Doom 2 as a whole if you pay attention to the art assets in detail (like paging through the frames with an editor like Slade).

I needed someone else to do this part for me in sly 3. Then until I got used to it, I could only do it myself by closing my eyes if a shark was going to kill me. Their teeth sticking out activated some kind of phobia, which was separate from being attacked underwater which already is my number one phobia. Which is on top of how claustrophobic and disorienting this mode is to begin with.

Not quite a game, but I remember going on Newgrounds as a kid and stumbling upon one particular interactive Flash animation. It was based on the cartoon Powerpuff Girls. You kidnapped one of the Powerpuffs, took her to your home, shaved her hair, cut off her limbs, gouged out her eyes, then you let her fly around randomly in agony for a while, before finally mercy-killing her. pretty fucking messed up, and in retrospect I don't know if it was just made by a kid trying extra hard to be edgy, or someone with a sadism/guro fetish

I worked on its sequel(s) at EA. It was such a shame that they decided to let it all go to waste because of "shifting market demographics" or some shit.

For me It was the metal slug art gallery

For me it was the Shambler in that game. I remember the first time seeing one, some level that had like a 4 way crossroads and he was in the middle of it or somewhere in it, couldn't believe how big and weird he looked (still can't remember if those things have a proper "head") and then that mf started shooting lightning at me, something I didn't expect from a non-boss enemy.

yeah that was a stage fatality in mortal kombat armageddon, specifc to the bell tower stage. your opponent falls onto these spikes that cut him off in 5 pieces, and the rats take away your limbs while squaking. your opponent doesn't die he just keeps screaming in agony the whole time. pretty messed up but i did find it funny.

[Anonymous No.10057910]

>>10057886
Most people who played Doom when it was released played the shareware version and never bought the full game, so he's half right, but calling Ultimate Doom a cash grab is idiotic. ID understandably wanted to make some of the money back they spent developing Doom, so they put out a physical release with some extra maps as an incentive.

As a kid, the sight of these hanging victims (especially the one on the right) was pretty disturbing to me. I always avoided looking at them when I stumbled upon them in a map. One day, though, the one on the right was so close I just couldn't avoid looking at him, and when I noticed that he wasn't static, but trying to move, as if he was still alive even if agonizing, then I pretty much experienced the worst feeling I ever had playing a game.

this, playing classic MKs on your bedroom at night while staying up late was really unnerving to me as a kid, but in a cool way, sorta like watching a horror movie that pulls you in. i think what made it seem especially scary was the shitty slightly off-key synth instruments combined with the fact that the game was shrouded in "secrets" so something scary and unexpected could happen, and you knew it wouldn't pull any punches due its gruesome nature
