Dah, go ahead. It says [PC] The Horror Games, right? Go ahead.

Were the older Resident Evil games scary?

Sometimes.

There was s#%$& like the zombie dogs jumping through the window in the first game and Nemesis in 3, but it mostly just feels B-movie tier. 4 and onwards aren't even trying.

Scary Things:

Resident Evil 4: Regeneradors

Resident Evil 6: The regenerative things, Tall Oaks University beginning, the dark places in the ship in Chris' campaign, every dark place.

Resident Evil Revelations: The Entire game, especially Queen Zenobia.

Were the older Resident Evil games scary?

I know the new ones take a lot of s***, but I've not heard people talk a whole lot about the originals

In the older games there was very limited ammo so there was always a sense of urgency and pressure. Like, without ammo going in a fight with zombies was a non-option, so if one were to peek around the corner out of once it'd be an "oh f#%$&" moment. The setting of the older games was also quite cool, as were the aforementioned zombiedogs.

But overall the older games were held back by their graphics (if you were to play them now) and corny dialogue though.
I think my favourite aspect of the series as a whole was the Nemesis T-Type.

In later games like 6 you play as the steroid-tastic Chris McManlyman who is armed to the teeth and declares war on Africa, punching boulders and breaking necks along the way.

I can't believe you misspelled Regenerators two different ways in one post. Or that you find RE6 scary. It's friggin' Gears of Zombies.

1. It's proper name is Regenerador. In the US versions, there is a GIANT misperception of the name because of Luis Memo 4.
2. It can be pluralled Regeneradors or Regeneradores.
3. There are SOME scary parts in RE6.

Can we talk about imscared, MARIO (Creepypasta game) or Illusion: Ghost Killer now?
