i like poe and lovecraft. modern horror relies too much on jump scares and gorey effects.
Condemned is not a modern horror game, lol. It's from like 2005.
It doesn't rely too much on jump-scares either.

my favorite horror games as of this point are amnesia: decent into darkness and nightmare house 2 (half life 2 mod). RE1 is pretty solid too. throw in a silent hill. you be scared for weeks.
Meh, RE1 has too many problems as a result of the fixed perspective imo.
RE4 is great, but not very scary outside of a few places.
Amnesia:TDD (not DID) is amazing ofc.
I've heard that Silent Hill one isn't anything special, but that Silent Hill 2 is amazing. Which one do you mean?

And neither does good horror games like amnesia.

But I'd have to agree to that.
Amnesia has both aspects, tho. The story is enough to get you firghtened, but it also contains gore.
As caucheka said, poe's stories were awesome qwq
While on the topic of scary games, I think Frictional nailed the concept for their next game completely:
"You can't have your privacy violated if you don't know your privacy is violated." - Mike Rogers, U.S. Representative for Michigan's 8th congressional district, 2013
I.e: Mike Rogers doesn't think it's rape unless the victim knows (s)he has been raped. Sounds legit.

if you liked poe then you should check out lovecraft. the dude idolized poe and is almost as influential poe himself. even more influential than stephen king.

Not mentioned in the video is Condemned: Criminal Origins, which is 75% off too. It's a good, gritty horror experience.
