Life Is Strange is the best one here. You morons should've expanded more on it!
I'm surprised to not see anything from Outlast on this list
The eye surgery in Dead Space, the "No Russian mission" how cold blood they are with civilians man, in a silly way could be Phanto from Mario Bros 2 he chases you, all in Postal and Manhunt.
I love the mention of Twilight Princess, because that scene ALWAYS had me confused and terrified for my safety.
Resident Evil Village The Battle against Salvatore, if his form the first time you meet him wasn't disturbing, wait until the Boss Battle when he constantly Vomiting Acid & your flesh starts to melt off the bone.
Yup they should’ve mentioned RE village
I personally was expecting the House Benevinento sequence from RE Village to make an appearance on this list.
One of the best, if not the best, psychological horror scenes in gaming. Especially when you know what shows up.
The Baby. 'Nuff fucking said.
In ‘South Park: The Stick of Truth’, Randy Marsh’s operation was hilariously terrifying.
Miss the old friendly Randy
The game shouldn't exist
I have the censored version so I will never know what it was truly like haha
It has a glitch that makes it unbeatable,because it makes it so that you always end up accidentally vacuuming up Randy's balls.
@@NightLight9595 Why????
"You have met a Terrible Fate, Haven't You?"
“I gently open the door”
Ew a furry, please consider unaliving
How about Silent Hill 1, when Nurse Lisa starts walking towards you and just starts bleeding from the head, that was disturbing to me!
Ugh! I borrowed that off one of my dad’s mates not long after it came out; I was about 13 or 14 at the time and loads of things in that game gave me the fucking creeps.
The monster in the school with a giant mouth that opened sideways.
Every single time the environment changed into that nightmarish alternate world; especially the hospital.
Probably every scene with Lisa; she just downright gave me chills from the moment she came into the game; she only existed in the alternate nightmare world so I thought she was a ghost or something.
Where that policewoman gets possessed by that thing and she draws her gun and tries to kill you in that amusement park.
That eerie place with normal rooms and nightmare dimension rooms mixed together near the end where you aren’t anywhere in particular (I think it’s where the bit you mentioned happens).
That crazy old woman who goes on about God all the time.
Even those creepy symbols etched on the doors you had to find the corresponding keys for - those with strange names that sounded like biblical names for demons or something - made me feel dread when I opened them.
And much more besides…
I’m surprised I actually got through the whole game to be honest haha
I didn't even bat an eye playing No Russian, but years later, playing It Takes Two and having to pull apart that stuffed elephant. My feelings 😔
YESSSSSS THANK YOU
As an honorable mention, I'd like to include Josh being "sawed in half" in Until Dawn. Reason being is because at first you think he's dead but it was fake. I won't give spoilers to those who haven't played the game yet.
You just did
There are a number of moments in Until Dawn that could be on this list.
Until Dawn is great
i was just thinking Until Dawn when there are 2 people tied up and the buzz saw thing goes towards them and you have to pick only 1 to save while the other is slowly cut in half and you see the aftermath with all their innards dangling out. Shit legit freaked me out and I'm a grown ass man lol I STILL think about it.
@@Neo2k7 It's a hell of a kill, and one of the most intense scenes in gaming. Maybe Watchmojo thought it was too gory, which is understandable. But still, great moment, viceral action, tension going through the roof, all make up an amazing and horrifying scene. We find out later that it's fake, but let's be honest, that does nothing to tarnish it's reputation
I used to think that I was a seasoned survival horror fan. I couldn't play more than 15 minutes of RE7 in VR before I gave up
Literally my Favorite game 😭
(SP:SOT)
probably my favorite horror game experience ever
Still isn’t as intense as playing the evil within or dead space but the only time playing VR made me sick was RE7. Also it was like 5AM though
@@tomasdelcampo2 I had no problem playing those games it's just being in VR and being immersed entirely is terrifying
Dude.... play PT in VR.
white phosphorous scene in Spec Ops: The Line should be minimum top 5. Easily one of the most disturbingly memorable moments in video game history.
Yeah that scene and when you find out you imagined the whole thing and Conrad was made up.
I feel like the Airport level in MW3 should be in there too... Mowing down unarmed families was... not something I could do more than once.
@@JustAJinx-ci6hg that was optional
The whole game should be #1 spot here
I remember watching a Blameitonjorge video about Disturbing GameCube characters and Dark Link being ranked #1 on that list.
Infamous Second Son, the pretty early scene where Delsin wakes up in the hospital and you get hints and glimpses of just what the big bad did to everyone else in your tribe… by using her Conduit power to grow concrete shards and boulders inside them as a form of torture!
Plus several of the scenes when you copy a new ability and see the original user’s backstory are pretty brutal, even the big bad’s (she chose to turn on a little Conduit girl in order to save herself, and it’s implied that the little girl went on to be the Origami/Paper Conduit from the mystery side quest, she never meets Delsin, but he promises to tell her story.)
Elizabeth's Lobotomy was very disturbing indeed. It was the first time I heard of the thing when I was 15. Crazy, but I love that game.
I haven't even played it but I've seen bits of the Outlast Whistle-blower DLC with The Groom... I thought I liked scary games but that took it to an entirely different level. That made me realize I'm getting too old for the horror games haha
I was going to list that exact scene... that is the roughest scene I have ever come across in a game.
Glad to see Zelda on there. That franchise is creepy, but lit
Terrifying disturbing video games 🎮 🕹 moments oh well then right ⤴️
Most disturbing for me was probably Drakengard. There is a part when giant flesh-eating babies come floating out from the sky and start devouring someone. After that, you have to fly around with your dragon and shoot the babies out of the sky...
Seriously, just all of Drakengard could count in its own right, shame that WatchMojo doesn't acknowledge it. Maybe in the future...
*WHO SENDS ALL ZEES BABIES TO FIGHT?!!!*
Ah, yeah. Berserk's manic-depressive younger cousin.
The very first zombie in RESIDENT EVIL...we were in a dark basement. There had never been anything like that before. We screamed like little girls. I have no shame.
I'm shocked that a Kirby final boss didn't make it on this list
Facts 😐
Or Earthbound
You know what the scary part is? There's probably be more disturbing moments in video games that will replace some of these on this list in the future.
It’s only a matter of time before they strike.
True. It's only a matter of time before some game features a realistic first-person rape sequence (where you're the victim), or something like that.
You mean like EE (Hal's niece) from MGS 2 SOL when she gets stabbed by Vamp man I was like 😭😭😭😭😭or when if given the choice on Ghost Of Tsushima killing Jin's uncle 😢😢😢😢😢
Good luck EVER finding something like No Russian in a future video game...
Doubtful. AAA gaming is getting soft (Elden Ring being an exception if you look into the lore. If you know you know.) so unless indie game devs do something, it probably won't happen.
How did the monster baby from Resident Evil Village not make it on this list? Also in Outlast 2 Blake being crucified was also disturbing
Yeah that part of RE8 was a bit freaky ha!
Given how messed up MK's fatalities and brutalities have becomes should be number 1. They showed among the tamest lol but I guess they'd also get demonitized too 😅
Even some of the devs admitted that they were shaken by the gore they were asked to do
@@MelodicQuest Oh yeah true and in some cases Ed Boon said they went too far and were asked to tone it down lol 😆 they'd probably reject my ideas. Haha
@@MKF30 now I am curious what are those ideas
@@rustycastor179 Same lol 😆 they actually have fatality meetings. Ed Boon and one of the other NRS team members a few years back said this in interviews but didn't go into details 😕
You, as they did, fail to recognize the difference between "violent or gory" and "actually disturbing."
A lot of moments in the Danganronpa series: Gonta’s trial, all of Ultra Despair Girls, Ryoma’s Body discovery announcement, the student council mass suicide, Leon’s execution, Rurka’s death, Mikan’s backstory, Korekiyo’s backstory, Kokichi’s death, Keade’s execution, Mukuro’s brainwashing of Chisa, Nagito playing Russian Roulette, Nekomaru’s death and Hajime’s conversion into Izuru Kamakura
You’re so right danganronpa is so disturbing on the first playthrough
All FATALITIES in the entire ‘Mortal Kombat’ franchise.
so glad life is strange made it here. i've never felt so helpless as a protagonist 😩
Ethan Winters goes through hands like they're candy...
I don't know how I didn't see #1 coming. I remember how dark that was. Couldn't believe they put it in a video game.
White phosphorus scene in Spec ops: The Line still gives me goosebumps. One of the most disturbing, worst moments in videogames I ever saw.
Another moment in Silent Hill 2 that rivals the Pyramid Head scene is the boss battle against Abstract Daddy, where we learn some really horrific truths about Angela's past.
Other disturbing moments I can think of:
Harverster - The scene where some cannibal babies devour their mother's body.
Blackout (rather obscure game from Denmark) - A scene where you actually partake in the shooting of a snuff film. No joke.
Postal 1 - The original ending (so twisted, the developers changed it for the Redux version)
Super Columbine Massacre RPG - The whole first half of the game, to be perfectly honest (though I guess I can single out the moment when the game actually shows pictures of the shooter's corpses)
Manhunt series - Some of the executions are legit disturbing, in great part because of how realistic they can be.
Max Payne - The first level, at least for me (Michelle's cries for help are too realistic for its own good; plus the bad guys killed a baby)
Quake 4 - Stroggification (They actually rip you apart and you get impaled so much)
A game called Beyond 2 Souls made by same director of Heavy Rain has a few disturbing scenes I remember are the bar scene, alleyway scene, and bridge scene
Ugh, that guy's work is a fucking shlock.
Anyone else who knows Matt, Pat, and Woolie know exactly what I'm talking about.
In Grand Theft Auto 4 when niko is talking to mikhail faustin’s wife about the Yugoslavic wars. She asks him if he worries about his soul, niko goes onto explain that “After you walk into a village and you see 50 children, all sitting neatly in a row, against a church wall, each with their throats cut and their hands chopped off, you realize that the creature that could do this doesn't have a soul.” This scene was especially disturbing because it describes with detail the horrors that niko faced during his time serving in the military but it left a lot of people wondering and asking if niko witnessed these children being brutally executed, or if he had actually taken part in executing some of the children himself.
There are plenty disturbing scenes in the underrated Little Nightmares games. But the scene in the second one where you get betrayed and it’s revealed you are the thin man, stuck with me. Gave chills
If you're going for a level of disturbing relative to ESRB ratings, Lusamine's fusion with Nihilego is up there. Also add the frozen Pokemon to that one. When you add Ardos wanting to blow up Citadark Isle with you and all of the Cipher subordinates on it, Pokemon has had it's share of dark moments.
If anyone has played Phantasmaphobia I am sorry I have played it wished I hadn't That scene in this game is probably the tamest scene in the entire game.
I can see. I heard many a horror about it, and seriously, they pick the death of a garden lady over things like the protagonist getting assaulted and another wife getting tortured?
20 choices and the Broodmother from Dragon Age Origins is not on the list? That thing is horrifying and still creeps me out when I replay the game.
I think everyone forgot how terrifying it was playing max Payne and hearing the baby upstairs whine and his wife dead. the entire sequence was just terrifying but then again maybe I was just 10 lol
I watched my bro play that mission when I was little. It was horrible. I was about 9 too. You are not alone. That was awful
Nah WM, in Phasmagoria the part where the main gal gets her face ripped apart by a demon was probably one of the most disturbing things ever in vid game history. That was gruesome.
I have to agree. Not sure why but it seems like they picked one of the least horrible deaths in Phantasmagoria as their most disturbing moment...maybe because they couldn't even show some of the others? But some of the other things on this list they couldn't show either, so I'm not sure. For such an old game I didn't expect it to be as gross as it was.
The first time the flood appeared 😍
Quake 4 stroggification process. Clearly should be in a list.
I was surprised that wasn't on here.
That face almost made me drop my Croissant
Whenever Nemesis chased me in the original Resident Evil scared me I stopped playing for awhile. The lickers were a close 2nd. But every time I saw Nemesis my heart stopped.
Top Ten Most Satisfying Noises in Video Games
How about Daisy's third eye easter egg in Super Smash Bros Melee?~ It's scary too!~
Let’s do Top 10 times Video Games were flopped!
The Beneviento house from Resident Evil Village. *I think you know why.*
Now how you gonna leave out Luigi's Mansion? It's supposed to be kids game that has besides Boos, implied real dead humans who are now ghosts, including a baby and a little girl who died in her sleep
if you think the eye surgery in dead space was scary, I can say from experience, the real thing is much, MUCH worse
The area's the moment in video games for me was horizon 0 dawn. It was like my 2nd or 3rd time going down a zip line and I messed up and jumped a second time and she fell to her death. The animation of her silent scream sent chills down my spine.
Apparently a baby shaped necromorph crawling towards a distraught and hysterical nursery care worker which then blows her up while you watch from the other side of a panel of glass wasn't hardcore enough for the dead space 2 entry on this list for mojo
Honestly I think most scenes with Mephilis from Sonic 06 could make it onto a list like this, but if I had to pick one, it’d be the scene when Mephilis kills Sonic. I got so many nightmares as a child from that.
I'm surprised the Giygas boss battles from Earthbound on the SNES didn't get at least an honorable mention.
Some of these games for sure contribute to childhood trauma 🙃
number one is definitely clock tower on ps1 for me and it's not even in the list... scissorman was so terrifying!!
That moment in Metal Gear 2 where Cambell and Rose flip out! So many gamers actually turned off the game! Best fourth wall break ever!
I strongly agree with MW2's fourth mission being ranked at the top. It's such a morbid mission to slaughter innocent people in the game as it would be in reality, with of course these massacres ongoing today.
So any playthrough of grand theft auto, saint row, mafia, the goodfather, state of emergency yeah sure killing inocents is sooooo disturbing
@DRIVER that was just like the hole fake christians bs in dantes inferno, they made something and to make people to be shock they put things like "you should not play this, if you want you can skip it, only for real maniacs, etc, etc) and that way all the p.ys playing the game would be like : this is the best game ever
@@Saddonghussein It's because of how realistic the mission was...
The shot gun head shot from the Quarry literally shocked me.
Wait which one though?
Fecto Forgo from Kirby and the Forgotten Land was really freaky!
I’m glad there was a Metal Gear moment but very surprised it wasn’t Rose and Campbell going nuts near the end of Sons of Liberty
the fugging Shalebridge Cradle in Thief 3 🙀
Twilight Princess is just the entire game same with Majoras mask also that game where you are tied to a operating table and you go through the process to become one of the enemies but your team stops it before the chip is activated
Quake IV. Most terrifying body horror I'd ever seen in a game up to that point.
I felt so so bad for the little baby fetus imagine not just being thrown out but mutated an living 🥺 no one should ever go through that
As creepy as the botchling is, the story of the bloody baron is amazing. Tragic and captivating.
Resident Evil 7 Watching The Baker Family eating Bugs & Who knows what else, & Ethan getting sawed up with a Chainsaw.
The Threshold Kids in Control. I didn't think puppets could ever be so unsettling.
Top 10 most annoying error messages in consoles.
Even Link got freaked out
Spec Ops: The line made me quit videogames for some time. It hurt me like no other narrative ever had. It made me feel guilt.
Stefano Valentini's victims in Evil within 2. You get to see their bloody, brutal end on loop
Kao the kangaroo´s neck, that was really disturbing
RE7: *has a shit ton of disturbing moments, from the basement, the molded, Evelyn, the infected family, etc*
Watchmojo: Losing your hand is easily the most disturbing thing here!
the interlopers cutscene reminds me so much of end of evangelion
That music that plays on the never ending staircase in Mario 64 lol..
Top 10 Deadly Aliens Races In (Cartoon, Live Action, Anime And Video Games)
I think there's only 1 single "disturbing moment" in all of the Pokémon games, when Lusamine and Nihilligo merge in Sun and Moon.
Wasnt there a scene in , I think in a doom or wolfenstein game, where you were placed on a cart and then your limbs were sawed off to be rebuild or so?
It takes quit long and its one by one you go from room to room and one limb at a time was removed. That was pretty disturbing.
Regarding I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream, I remember reading something about a game developer who had a son with cancer, and used his experiences in the hospital to shape Ellen's character when "that bombshell" was dropped.
I should give an honorable mention to Splatterhouse 3 (1993) with the scene of Rick’s wife, Jennifer, turning into a mindless beast. The scenes of her right before the moment and when she became a mindless beast were terrifying.
THAT LAST PART THOUGH LOL
Remember as a kid, a scene from "titanic: adventure out of time" where someone got electrocuted disturbing, probably seem mild now.
The hospital's mirror room in Silent Hill 3. I give that room a wide berth anytime I play that game. Thankfully, you don't have to go in to complete the hospital area.
If we’re going with a Mass Effect moment, I would have gone with finding David Archer in the Overlord DLC. Seeing him honestly fucked me up when I first saw it.
Dragon Age Origins, Hespith's chant about how Broodmothers are made and then walking in on one
The HD port of Ratchet: Deadlocked.
No 20 was definitely the freakiest thing I've seen in game, if I didn't know better I'd swear link took a bunch of lsd before entering the shrine at lake hylia.
I'm surprised that one scene from outlast whistleblower wasn't on here.
I didn’t think the COD mission would phase me but man I did. I felt bad for shooting those people at the airport.
Finding Whoreson Jr with all of the dead women like it's nothing to him (Witcher 3)
How do you leave dantes inferno off of this list? The unbaptised babies with blades for arms are creepier than any of the ones on this list
Can you do best jump scares?
how the hell did the Stroggification stuff from Quake not make it on this list?!
Zero Time Dilemma deserves a mention. Because the game has timeline-jumping shenanigans, you are forced to kill every single character, repeatedly, often in horrific ways. (The acid showers--where six of the nine characters vote to kill off the other three, and because we have multiple timelines all nine get a "wash"--stands out, but there are plenty of others, as well.)
Mass Effect 2 Suicide Mission, the collecter base it was wow. But DLC Overload was freaky too
I played Overload for the first time with Legendary addition, that was horrifying!
That Airport Mission Is My Favorite
#20 - Also, it's the only one that Link actually sees: none of the other Links see the cutscenes as the player does, save for some dream-visions.
That No Russian mission is too realistic for the mainstream
Role Reversal: Batman: Arkham Asylum (2009.)
The torture scene from outlast whistleblower should have been in this list.
No Max Payne!? I still hear the baby’s crying in that dream sequence. That shit was disturbing!
Agreed
omg I had to mute my TV during those parts
Even though it’s about 25 years ago when I played the first original Tomb Raider game on PlayStation, I still remember it because I always thought the last two levels were cursed af.
That giant, half formed head and torso, er- _thing_ that breaks out of that egg and drags itself around on it’s arms you fight as one of the last bosses; the mummified cat things and whatever those other creatures were that hatched out of them orb things, and most of the red and pink walls appeared to have pulsing, moving _veins_ in them; as though they were _alive_ like you were inside the body of something… I don’t actually know if they _were_ veins or the old graphics of the time just made it look like that but still fkin creepy though.
Little Nightmares where Six ate the gnome
No Star Door 15 in Trails in the Sky 3rd?
