How Do You Guys Face The Horror Genre @-@?

I can appreciate the atmosphere and adrenaline rushes that good horror games provide.  Yet if a horror game allows me to fight back, then the "horror" is gone.  Last horror game I played was Alien Isolation, which got me good up until I got the flamethrower.  After that, whenever I got careless with stealth, my internal dialogue -- beforehand a constant stream of profanities -- was pretty much Rambo.  I have to be utterly defenseless in order to enjoy horror games.

 

So, games like Amnesia and Outlast took me a while to finish, due to how well they spooked me.

 

Horror stories and movies, however, have no effect on me, due to the fact that I am not in direct control of the characters.  It's more of a "ha ha, sucks for them" as opposed to a "god dammit, sucks for me."  It's a very detached experience.

Dunno, I haven't played anything from EA or Ubisoft for a couple of years now.

Alternatively

I find the best approach is to start playing one at around 3am after not sleeping for 30 hours +

Being alone in the house also helps.

If I'm playing horror games, I want to be scared s***less.
