The most unsettling thing is that Falcon isn't real, all Gameranx employees are different personalities that haunt Jack Baldino driving him to insanity
Definitely should’ve included the pig beast experiment in that abandoned house in RDR2. Not only is it haunting to look at but the music changes when you’re on that room too.
Or the Incest Siblings bc jesus that was uncomfortable.... Or the guy in the Bayou hse where just blacks out & the game implies he was not a kind host to Arthur.
I don’t think it’s a might at this point bro lol... it’s definitely not happening... it’s been 3 years man... I would love nothing more but single player is not a concern for rockstar anymore which really sucks ass
Pickman's Gallery absolutely does have a quest associated with it. Hancock from Goodneighbor asks you to check the place out, because people keep disappearing
RDR2's Bayou is so good... my first encounter was someone hanging over a road in the middle of the night.. it was obviously out of place so i stopped. Then you can hear the creeps flanking you. The atmosphere and design of that place is so well done
seeing an X on the minimap normally: cool, some free loot and maybe even a treasure map! seeing an X on the minimap in the bayou: just keep riding just keep riding just keep riding
Between the Night Folk, the ghost of Agnes Dowd, the Soothsayer, the Murfree Brood and the gators, Bayou Nwa is probably the creepiest location in any video game and I never travel to it alone anymore. I take the literal US army with me every time via mods; at least 10 soldiers. Made for a cool, foggy nighttime at 2 am battle vs the Night folk.
RDR2 being a horror game when you go off the beaten path is such a genius choice, and perfectly captures how I feel about rural areas. I'd really love to see a Rockstar game that fully embraces horror. They could do amazing.
Actually Rockstar is a bit too good at creating and embracing horror. They always aim for grounded concepts, so when Rockstar made the Manhunt franchise it was heavily bombarded with scandal for being too intense.
@@jagath3028 first time I ran into that I thought to myself "no way....right?" Then see them move and just nopetrained right over to my power button. Witcher got me on the bait and switch cause it wasn't until the DLC drop well after I'm committed to the game that they get me. I outwardly cussed out PRed when I saw it like "awww f*** you guys why?"
I always thought “A Towerful of Mice” was creepy in The Witcher Three. The first time I played that mission the hairs on my neck stood on end. The creaking of the house and the groans and noises, etc, were pretty spooky. I love horror/ghost stories, too, and I’m not easy to scare, but that was just a creepy mission, in my opinion.
There's a moment in Bioshock that I'll never forget. You walk into this relatively unassuming room with a desk in the corner that has a teddy bear to collect. You had to get right up on the desk to collect it and when I turned around there was a splicer staring me directly in the face. First moment in a video game where I nearly dropped my controller.
Did this happen in one of the dentistry offices? If so, I’m sure that’s programmed to happen when you first enter the room and interact with the container on the opposite end of the room unless the trigger for that event somehow manages to break (i.e. The splicer in question doesn’t stand there creepily waiting for you to turn around and spot him and instead attacks you the moment he spawns into the map).
My favorite one was that area with all the paper statues. You walk in a room to check a desk or something in the far back, when you turn around suddenly there are a bunch of statues in the room in all different poses.
Pickman was all glitched-out in my playthrough. Down in the basement, instead of walking, he was floating around stuck in this weird crucifixion-like pose; mouth moved when he talked and eyes were looking around, blinking.
It was. All the paintings in the house were really inspired, as well. - Luckily enough, I saved the gameplay from the whole encounter. That was years ago, too. I think I need to get it out and post it up. - IA! IA, CTHULHU!!
The RDR2 encounter that gave me the most chills has to be the hillbillies that show up at your campfire if you set up camp in the northeast. Afaik, there’s no other moment in the game where your campsite gets imposed upon by NPCs, so it’s REALLY jarring when they show up and it only gets creepier as they start to threaten Arthur.
I am honestly more afraid of the ENTIRE region of Roanoke Ridge that I am of any Night Folk encounter. The music, the fact that you go from open plans to narrow paths, and the fact that the Murfree Brood (said hillbillies) will just be torturing some poor bastards in the middle of the night as you ride by makes my hair stand on end any time I go to that place.
I think one of the more unsettling things in Skyrim is when you're playing it in VR, and you're wandering around at night, and you see the Vigilants of Stendarr standing around. They're good guys so you just kinda walk up to them, only to see that their eyes are glowing orange, before they start attacking you because they're vampires in disguise. The reason it is creepy in VR is because you're standing face to face with them at the moment you realize they're vampires.
That would be horrifying. I'm not someone who is afraid of spiders (at all at all) but the one thing that has put me off from playing Skyrim VR is that I just… don't want to deal with a horse sized frostbite spider, let alone two or more + a giant one.

Pickman's Gallery is actually a reference to "Pickman's Model" a short story by HP Lovecraft. In the story, Pickman makes extremely unsettling, realistic paintings of creature in grotesque situations such as mauling people or creeping around.

The serial killer in the first Watchdogs game. The bodies were always in isolated areas. The rituals and voice recordings always creeped me out no matter how many bodies I found.
I remember the first time I encountered the headless horseman ghost in Skyrim. I had not heard of the character in advance so watching him approach and then gallop past was completely unexpected. The fact that he didn't talk, and no explanation or backstory was provided, really helped to make it unsettling and interesting.
Riding through the forest at night expecting the Murfrees to jump me at any momnet was very unnerving to me. Same with the Skinners during the epilogue. There are many many other creepy encounters and places in that game
Finding Pleasance for the first time was unsettling. I camped out to see if anything changed at night. Nothing changed, but the music, the dark and the atmosphere really creeped me out. Murfees are kind of creepy too, but I just think some thing like "really?!" whenever I encounter them,, because I warned them multiple times with my calling card (burning their bodies in a campfire) but they keep coming.
Oh man, I was hoping to see Brin from Horizon: Zero Dawn (aka the "machine blood" guy). Not exactly scary, but so deeply unsettling and I did not expect such a character to exist in an otherwise beautiful and human world. I also agree with someone else who said Professor Pyg from Arkham Knight. Hoo boy, that whole side quest was fantastic and you just think "man, whoever is killing these people has to be messed up," and yet you are not prepared in the slightest for just how messed up he is. And the voice acting was SO good.
Side fact about Pikman... He's a good guy, never attacks innocents, only bandits... There is also a fun random encounter after you leave, you can find him again painting... Beside an mutilated Bandit...
Right? Like, he’s obviously a twisted guy, but he’s not any worse than the *player.* I’ve never gotten that random encounter of seeing him again, though! I’ll have to keep an eye out for him!

There's two missions from Cyberpunk that creeped me out. One was the cyberpsycho mission "Bloody Ritual", which actually glitched for me and I could still hear Regina's creepy breathing when I was on the other side of the city after noping out the first time I tried that mission. Seeing her climb out of that freezer was the stuff of nightmares. The other one is "The Hunt" from River's storyline when you go to the Edgewood Farm. The barn felt like something out of a Criminal Minds episode.
@@markmagician2471 you need to go into the basement area and continue into the sewers until you get to a large crossroads where the raiders have pickman pinned down :)
The red dead redemption series has some REALLY effective horror, especially in Rdr2. The one that gets me the most is the strange man from the Rdr1. He talks to John on the sight of his own grave and his bullets don't touch him. I know there are creepier ones, but this one always gets me because there is no explanation whatsoever and how insane it is. Especially the exchange: "You better tell me who you are, or I won't be responsible for my actions" "Oh but you will, John."
I was bummed not to find Pickman was actually a ghoul in the basement. Would have been the cherry on top for this sweet Lovecraft reference. Awesome that put something like that in a Boston setting. Need more random creepy Lovecraft short stories sprinkled on the outskirts.
the cursed areas in valhalla are definitely creepy. theres one that has a circle of burned corpses in some sort of ritual circle. and the fog also helps set the atmosphere.
One time I got out of Saint Denis in rdr2 on my horse, and got ambushed a little outside the city by like 10 people that were hiding, they suddenly uncovered a machine gun and I just got mowed down with my max bond horse. I was genuinely shocked.
I got so spooked when that appeared especially since I had no idea it existed. I just heard a train but didn't see one, next thing I know the ghost train was running me over.
@Talun Karku yeah and the comment is about pronunciation so I was simply saying it doesn't effect pronunciation nor can I find anything to back your claim that adding the K is a Norman thing especially since Kent appears in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle with a K
the game Genshin Impact has quite a number of creepy places. There is this abandoned house somewhere at the mountain where the atmosphere changed immediately the moment you reached the place, turning dark even if you entered that place at night. There, there is a girl you can get a side quest from, asking you to find a book. So you have to climb up to get the book and when you tried to return the book, she just gone. The extra creepy is that if you meet a different NPC, a man, you'll learn that this man, when he was a kid, gave the book to her and later she fell into a river, drowned while not letting the book go. And then there are quests where you meet literal ghosts, and playable characters that work in funeral parlor, with one of them use a ghost to smack the enemies around...
was lookin for this comment. yea, especially if you were plaing in solo or even when playin with friends, they are already gone, u think yourself the classic "one more tree and im gonna go" and then Odin just standin there :D
I remember finding that place in fallout 76 and not being fazed at all with all the weird shit happening because I assumed it was just part of the thousands of glitches the game had lmao
That side quest in farcry 3 where a woman in a small shack tells you she saw a plane crash and ask you to investigate. When you arrived at the designated investigation area you see a ruined plane wreckage, that obviously has been there for years. When you get back to the shack where the woman lives , there's no one there and a little while after that you've met someone that tells you the story of the crashed down plane that hit a house, where the owner of the house is the woman you've met before. That part is downright unsettling for me because back there i never thought something like that would ever happen in a game like farcry.
The ghostly headless horseman from Skyrim that I encoutered way back on PS3 but could not get him in the version that came out on PS4. I love all the random stuff that can be found in open world games. This is a reason I play them. I hope you do another 10 soon.
I remember that location in fallout 76 before the balancing patch (back when I could actually be scared of enemies above my level), and I was creeping out because I wasn't sure if a deathclaw or another new big boss would pop out
There is a quest related to the Pickman gallery in Fallout 4. If you talk to Hancock in Good Neighbor, he'll ask you to check into the Pickman gallery.
If you want to be more creeped out about the small girl vampire., I imagine she attracts her targets though playing at the scared kid thing or getting people to follow her for other reasons. And as gross as that is, listen to her talk in the sanctuary. It seems to happen sometimes. Now that is genuinely creepy
Far Cry 3 had a creepy one: You go to a house with an old woman and she tells you “I heard a plane crash on the nearby beach, please go save the passengers.” You go to the beach and find the wreck of the plane… only it is very old. A local man says that the plane had crashed there years ago. When you mention the old woman who sent you, he says that her house has been long abandoned… If you go back to the house, the old woman is nowhere to be seen.
The Hooded Woman in Toussaint kicked my ass- I was lucky to be bailed out by the Undying perk *TWICE* while fighting her, even though I knew it was a setup since it was a "Guarded Treasure" and I didn't see any obvious monsters around.
That Assassin's Creed rock one is a Stephen King short story about a guy who has to constantly count go and count rocks in a field to make sure the right amount are there otherwise an otherworldly monster will break through reality. The number of rocks fade when not counted. The story is being told by a man to a psychiatrist who eventually offs himself, causing the psychiatrist to go look at the rocks and inadvertently be turned into the new counter
The first time I met Gaunter O'Dimm in the Witcher. I know there's something unsettling about that guy. And the fact that you need not even go to creepy places to find him makes him more creepy.
'Odin' from Valhalla will always take the cake for me. My dad had just died that morning the first time I saw it. I was hanging out with friends playing Valhalla to take my mind off of it, when all of the sudden there is this creepy unkillable ghost in a field that disappears before anyone else sees it.
God, the invisible rats that weigh you down in the sandy area are EVIL. Turning into a wolf and seeing I was *covered in a swarm of rats* was traumatic.
@@Shandakai Majora's Mask. It's basically a horror game in a Zelda costume. Edit: Also the moon isn't just staring, it's actively falling and will crash in three days.
The Valhalla stones quest is insane. Even with you don't talk to him, just count a couple of times, they always count a differente number every single time, like it's insane.
Valheim when you're wanding around occasionally and you see a Shadowy figure with glowing eyes watching you from a distance, and if you look away for a moment or attempt to approach them, they vanish into a smoke cloud. Though if you get hit with a pretty bad latency spike you can walk up to it an notice they actually only have one glowing eye which you can then assume it's likely Odin silently (and creepily) watching over your progress.
Just Cause 3 : You are probably aware of this already, but there are a couple LOST references on that island in addition to the smoke monster. The hatch comes to mind as one of the locations you can find.
.... I really... wonder why it took me so long to notice that the clip of RDR at 6:41 wasn't John it was his son Jack 🤣 I didn't notice until he spoke 😅
There is a ton of these in Fable 2. The side quest you get early on in the game whilst on your way to Oakfield for the first time where you have to help the man find his son. The side quest in Oakfield when you come back after being in the spire for ten years where you have to ‘clear the Hobbes out of that dudes home’. And the chesty mission in the Fable 2 DLC (I believe it’s the DLC where you fix the cursed objects for Murgo, when it takes you back to Oakvale before it gets destroyed). The chesty mission is a side quest of that DLC and it’s just creepy as hell. Plus practically half of the demon doors. There’s a ton.
I member doing that flower quest for RDR and being very creeped out, yet empathetic to the poor guy. I did a 'lot' of pallette cleansing thanks to that game, lol.
Also from Breath of the Wild, is Hino. Hino seems like a pretty normal character at first. He is involved in researching the Blood Moon phenomenon. However, something really creepy that occurs with him when a Blood Moon is coming, he will go bonkers, shouting “MY BLOOD IS BOILING!” or “IT’S SO RED, SO GLORIOUSLY RED!” This is very creepy, and there are no other NPCs in the game to react so over the top and freakish than Hino. When the Blood Moon goes away, Hino will be disappointed, saying he has to wait for the next one. In Tears of the Kingdom, he returns, often found captured in a monster fortress. When you free him, he’ll explain that he was studying the monsters to find out more about the blood moon. But you have to wonder why the monsters didn’t just knock him out and celebrate in front of his unconscious body like most monsters? What made him worth taking to their layer and capturing them instead of just knocking him out? Furthermore, Hino can actually tell you IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY if a Blood Moon is going to occur later, something which cannot be predicted by the player or other NPCs. I’ve also been playing recently, and I noticed that when you free him, you can’t find him anywhere until he is captured again. You simply cannot find him anywhere else.
To speak of unsettling, though not a quest, Marvelous Chester from Dark Souls 1 is such a sudden turn as some Victorian dude showing up in a medieval apocolypse

How about the glitch where Adam Smashers shadow follows you around the entire game. That shit was creepy.
I helped Pickman. Raiders are a scourge and he's the Dexter of the Commonwealth.
He's Richard Pickman, from HP Lovecraft's Pickman's Model
I never found Pickman where is he?
@@markmagician2471 just look in the dence City area.
@@markmagician2471 you need to go into the basement area and continue into the sewers until you get to a large crossroads where the raiders have pickman pinned down :)
The red dead redemption series has some REALLY effective horror, especially in Rdr2. The one that gets me the most is the strange man from the Rdr1. He talks to John on the sight of his own grave and his bullets don't touch him. I know there are creepier ones, but this one always gets me because there is no explanation whatsoever and how insane it is. Especially the exchange:
"You better tell me who you are, or I won't be responsible for my actions"
"Oh but you will, John."
In Assassin's Creed Valhalla after that event I noticed fumes coming out from the earth around the rocks. I think it was a hallucination.
Hallucination or not, it sure was a bit weird and creepy 😳
@@devilzgaming8006 I agree, I was tripping when I was counting the rocks and wondering how they did that.
It's a common piece of British folklore. Lots of stone circles have similar legends
I’d love a video of “gameleaks” where people who leaked games weren’t believed until the game came out.
Apex legends is a great example of this if I remember correctly
Seriously, after Rdr2 Vahlalla has some of the best and unique encounters in open world games
Totally agree played valhalla for that reason and was not at all dissapointed
Yes, Valhalla is so random! It's good!
Yeah, the World Events were a fun addition.
I was bummed not to find Pickman was actually a ghoul in the basement. Would have been the cherry on top for this sweet Lovecraft reference. Awesome that put something like that in a Boston setting. Need more random creepy Lovecraft short stories sprinkled on the outskirts.
"she's a vampire ... and from what i can tell, only shows up at night"
well, no shit
Water is wet
Floor is made up of floor
Fortnite is trash
Some versions of vamlired are unaffected by sunlight though
The sky is blue
the cursed areas in valhalla are definitely creepy. theres one that has a circle of burned corpses in some sort of ritual circle. and the fog also helps set the atmosphere.
One time I got out of Saint Denis in rdr2 on my horse, and got ambushed a little outside the city by like 10 people that were hiding, they suddenly uncovered a machine gun and I just got mowed down with my max bond horse.
I was genuinely shocked.
Bro that same shit happened to me! Right at the end of a covered bridge, I was so shook now im on guard all the time
Ouch, i hope it wasn't an arabian that died on you. I'd probably rage quit if that happened to me. I ride my white Arabian with extreme caution lol.
can you tell where outside saint denis
Oh god I HATED that encounter. Almost lost Copperhead, my Turkoman that I stole from the Braithwaits during the horse mission.
The Abradeen Pig Farm in RDR2 ain’t creepy but damn them sick fools.
That giant shadow thing in Jotunheim in Ac Valhalla. Spooky
they are trees which look like eyes of viewed from a certain angle
Honestly, RDR2 could take every spot on this list
The ghost train is just such a fun Easter egg in RDR2
I got so spooked when that appeared especially since I had no idea it existed. I just heard a train but didn't see one, next thing I know the ghost train was running me over.
Cent is pronounced with a "K", pretty clearly in game.
its named Kent in real life
@@AGboiii, yeah, I know.
He has to be doing this on purpose. In every video there's at least one name he mispronounces.
@Talun Karku it was still pronounced the same in Old English...
@Talun Karku yeah and the comment is about pronunciation so I was simply saying it doesn't effect pronunciation nor can I find anything to back your claim that adding the K is a Norman thing especially since Kent appears in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle with a K
You forget to mention Gavin from rdr2 he was an completely stranger and nobody couldn't find him.
For a long time I really did look for Gavin. His friend was heartbroken and I couldn't bear the thought of not helping him.
Swear to god i searched the entire map for him... I thought you could actually find Gavin but i guess the dude is just insane
the game Genshin Impact has quite a number of creepy places. There is this abandoned house somewhere at the mountain where the atmosphere changed immediately the moment you reached the place, turning dark even if you entered that place at night. There, there is a girl you can get a side quest from, asking you to find a book. So you have to climb up to get the book and when you tried to return the book, she just gone. The extra creepy is that if you meet a different NPC, a man, you'll learn that this man, when he was a kid, gave the book to her and later she fell into a river, drowned while not letting the book go.
And then there are quests where you meet literal ghosts, and playable characters that work in funeral parlor, with one of them use a ghost to smack the enemies around...
🤯
Seeing Odin in Valheim for the first time was really freaky.
was lookin for this comment.
yea, especially if you were plaing in solo or even when playin with friends, they are already gone, u think yourself the classic "one more tree and im gonna go" and then Odin just standin there :D
RIGHT hahaha he freaked the shit out of me
me and my friend were shocked, we didnt know if we were imagining it lol.
Definitely deserves a part 2 of this creepy encounters . Nice work
The rock counting thing might be a play on Stephen King's short story "N"
Yes!! Very similar concept. I wish they could've expanded on it a bit more.
I remember finding that place in fallout 76 and not being fazed at all with all the weird shit happening because I assumed it was just part of the thousands of glitches the game had lmao
You guys forgot the Professor Pyg murders in Batman: Arkham Knight.
They did say that they can make more of these since there are tons of it
Professor pyg is The only comic book super villain that creeps me out
"Zelda is a game for everyone" *OoT ReDead flashbacks*
The Valhalla location is pronounced Kent
Falcon mispronounces some of the easiest words, but this one is actually pretty understandable lol
its pronounced deez
Like clark?
@@mattm.6008 deez what?
@Dale Macarena he’s evidently just British?! Americans, honestly 🤦🏻♂️
That side quest in farcry 3 where a woman in a small shack tells you she saw a plane crash and ask you to investigate. When you arrived at the designated investigation area you see a ruined plane wreckage, that obviously has been there for years. When you get back to the shack where the woman lives , there's no one there and a little while after that you've met someone that tells you the story of the crashed down plane that hit a house, where the owner of the house is the woman you've met before. That part is downright unsettling for me because back there i never thought something like that would ever happen in a game like farcry.
The ghostly headless horseman from Skyrim that I encoutered way back on PS3 but could not get him in the version that came out on PS4. I love all the random stuff that can be found in open world games. This is a reason I play them. I hope you do another 10 soon.
the AC Valhalla example there's a crack in the ground nearby emitting gas, so the implication is the whole thing was a hallucination.
For me it was the Blind guy from RDR2
I mean he just knew ya know, he *knew*
Falcon: 'some are heart warming' * while showing Tifa *
Me: 'Ah I see, you're a man of culture as well'
Should definitely do more creepy type lists for the channel I loved this one so much!
I remember that location in fallout 76 before the balancing patch (back when I could actually be scared of enemies above my level), and I was creeping out because I wasn't sure if a deathclaw or another new big boss would pop out
Don't forget when you encouter the hooded figure in valheim
There is a quest related to the Pickman gallery in Fallout 4. If you talk to Hancock in Good Neighbor, he'll ask you to check into the Pickman gallery.
The Madness of the Rocks quest seems based on Stephen King’s N. Novella
The serial killer in the sewers of Fallout 4 is pretty creepy too and don’t get me started on the Dunwich Borers mine. That’s a lovecraft thing.
You could probably do an entire channel on creepy/weird things in RDR 1 and 2
The way he calls Kent, “sent”😭
What about the stranger in RDR 1?
Asking you to do something for him but when Marston try to shot him he's just not bothered by the bullets
I know you
The Leviathan DLC in Mass Effect 3 was pretty creepy when you get the the mineral works area.
Wow. I expected you to cover the stranger from RDR1 at a minimum...
The assassins creed one is a Stephen king reference to one of his short stories, that absolutely warms my heart
The inbred siblings from RDR2 also scared the shit out of me
The first encounter with Thralls in Destiny 1 was also very creepy and disturbing.
You could add that in the next video
Caretaker from Witcher and that whole darkness around Iris von Everec's estate and story
If you want to be more creeped out about the small girl vampire., I imagine she attracts her targets though playing at the scared kid thing or getting people to follow her for other reasons. And as gross as that is, listen to her talk in the sanctuary. It seems to happen sometimes. Now that is genuinely creepy
Pickman gallery does have an associated quest though, hancock gives it.
Far Cry 3 had a creepy one: You go to a house with an old woman and she tells you “I heard a plane crash on the nearby beach, please go save the passengers.” You go to the beach and find the wreck of the plane… only it is very old. A local man says that the plane had crashed there years ago. When you mention the old woman who sent you, he says that her house has been long abandoned… If you go back to the house, the old woman is nowhere to be seen.
I find out something new about the witcher 3 every week
The Hooded Woman in Toussaint kicked my ass- I was lucky to be bailed out by the Undying perk *TWICE* while fighting her, even though I knew it was a setup since it was a "Guarded Treasure" and I didn't see any obvious monsters around.
I think the horse fairy in Zelda: BOTW is the scariest thing in that game!
That Assassin's Creed rock one is a Stephen King short story about a guy who has to constantly count go and count rocks in a field to make sure the right amount are there otherwise an otherworldly monster will break through reality. The number of rocks fade when not counted. The story is being told by a man to a psychiatrist who eventually offs himself, causing the psychiatrist to go look at the rocks and inadvertently be turned into the new counter
I thought the fumes leaking from the cracks in the earth are what causes you to hallucinate the Rock encounter in AC Valhalla. But that's just me
The first time I met Gaunter O'Dimm in the Witcher. I know there's something unsettling about that guy. And the fact that you need not even go to creepy places to find him makes him more creepy.
Need dark mode for those transitions
The amount of video ideas these guys come up with is insane, keep up the hard work Gameranx
Thanks.
@@gameranxTV you're welcome
Dude they really need to chill with going from dark scenes to flash of white with the transition. I get blinded ever time
'Odin' from Valhalla will always take the cake for me. My dad had just died that morning the first time I saw it. I was hanging out with friends playing Valhalla to take my mind off of it, when all of the sudden there is this creepy unkillable ghost in a field that disappears before anyone else sees it.
"Zelda isn't creepy"
Twilight Princess: Am i a joke to you?
God, the invisible rats that weigh you down in the sandy area are EVIL. Turning into a wolf and seeing I was *covered in a swarm of rats* was traumatic.
Which Zelda game has that moon with the creepy face that's just staring down at the world?? That face is extremely unsettling.
@@Shandakai Majora's Mask. It's basically a horror game in a Zelda costume.
Edit: Also the moon isn't just staring, it's actively falling and will crash in three days.
@@KorilD It can fall and crash as much as it wants. I just don't understand why that face had to be part of the equation 😂😂😂
He meant if you arent 12
The Valhalla stones quest is insane. Even with you don't talk to him, just count a couple of times, they always count a differente number every single time, like it's insane.
I thought this was about random weirdos in MMO's 😂
those are called players
Odin staring at you from the distance in the dark in Valheim. The first time I saw it, I freaked out.
Valheim when you're wanding around occasionally and you see a Shadowy figure with glowing eyes watching you from a distance, and if you look away for a moment or attempt to approach them, they vanish into a smoke cloud. Though if you get hit with a pretty bad latency spike you can walk up to it an notice they actually only have one glowing eye which you can then assume it's likely Odin silently (and creepily) watching over your progress.
Just Cause 3 : You are probably aware of this already, but there are a couple LOST references on that island in addition to the smoke monster. The hatch comes to mind as one of the locations you can find.
.... I really... wonder why it took me so long to notice that the clip of RDR at 6:41 wasn't John it was his son Jack 🤣
I didn't notice until he spoke 😅
I thought the voice had been altered to avoid copyright lol
There is a ton of these in Fable 2. The side quest you get early on in the game whilst on your way to Oakfield for the first time where you have to help the man find his son. The side quest in Oakfield when you come back after being in the spire for ten years where you have to ‘clear the Hobbes out of that dudes home’. And the chesty mission in the Fable 2 DLC (I believe it’s the DLC where you fix the cursed objects for Murgo, when it takes you back to Oakvale before it gets destroyed). The chesty mission is a side quest of that DLC and it’s just creepy as hell. Plus practically half of the demon doors. There’s a ton.
The guy looking for his friend on RDR2 really unsettled me for some reason every time I stumbled upon him.
Hogtied not hosted....
@@loki2655 um what?
@Joshua Lee the man, the myth, the legend
GAVIN!
I member doing that flower quest for RDR and being very creeped out, yet empathetic to the poor guy. I did a 'lot' of pallette cleansing thanks to that game, lol.
"It's Legend of Zelda. The games are supposed to be for everyone" (Glares at Deadhand)
Also from Breath of the Wild, is Hino. Hino seems like a pretty normal character at first. He is involved in researching the Blood Moon phenomenon. However, something really creepy that occurs with him when a Blood Moon is coming, he will go bonkers, shouting “MY BLOOD IS BOILING!” or “IT’S SO RED, SO GLORIOUSLY RED!” This is very creepy, and there are no other NPCs in the game to react so over the top and freakish than Hino. When the Blood Moon goes away, Hino will be disappointed, saying he has to wait for the next one. In Tears of the Kingdom, he returns, often found captured in a monster fortress. When you free him, he’ll explain that he was studying the monsters to find out more about the blood moon. But you have to wonder why the monsters didn’t just knock him out and celebrate in front of his unconscious body like most monsters? What made him worth taking to their layer and capturing them instead of just knocking him out? Furthermore, Hino can actually tell you IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY if a Blood Moon is going to occur later, something which cannot be predicted by the player or other NPCs. I’ve also been playing recently, and I noticed that when you free him, you can’t find him anywhere until he is captured again. You simply cannot find him anywhere else.
Pokémon Sinnoh region the girl that dupes you with the everstone haunter trade. Traumatized to this day.
Screw Mindy
To speak of unsettling, though not a quest, Marvelous Chester from Dark Souls 1 is such a sudden turn as some Victorian dude showing up in a medieval apocolypse
Fallout 3 cannibal family still makes me uncomfortable to this day
You can make an entire list of creepy encounters just from the Red Dead redemption games
Number 7 sounds a lot like diablo 3 where the farm guy has his deceased wife in the house and the head fall off..
Was thinking the same thing. I wonder which came first....
The serial killer quest in RDR 2 was a complete surprise, when I first played it. But it added a twist to an already great game.
