In a Horror game situation studies have show you would become paralyzed with fear and you wouldn't fight but give up and let the evil beings kill you. It's been studied

Were these games any good? I think I have Outlast 2 downloaded but I've never played it.

they're entertaining for a playthrough. the stealth gameplay is bad though so I recommend playing on easy

ok but what source

Outlast is probably the best in the genre of jumpscare hide in closet fests, the second is super stupid and boring.

I guess that most people would be like that, but certainly there are some who can act even in horrifying situations, see soldiers in gruesome wars.

You have the bad one downloaded

That doesn't make any sense, in most cases people would act random without any logic. Some would get on their knees begging for the creature that obviously doesn't understand them, to not kill them. Others would run and literally scrape the closest wall. Others would indeed fight. And others would go for the door.
In a life/death situation the body is extremely unlikely to paralize, no matter the fear, unless submission is already being applied.

If you saw something like the grudge reverse crab walking towards you at high speed you would empty your bowels and cry as shit flies down your leg.

>Most people would be powerless to do shit in the face of imminent death
No fucking shit, idiot, but I'm still pretty sure most people would react better than how the idiots in horror movies react when faced with some supernatural killer.

>the grudge reverse crab walking towards you at high speed
*unzips dick*

well no shit Sherlock, it was also studied if you were standing on the road and a car would drive towards you with high speed you would just stand there instead of jumping over

Is that what you'd do?
If so you're fucking stupid lol.

>the best in the genre of jumpscare hide in closet fests
the King of Shit

It's because you have to react so fast. It's a split second decision and the brain can stall if you aren't focused.

Big true.
I once had someone try to break into my house in the middle of the house and the fear of hearing them try to break in completely paralyzed me. I had an insanely hard time moving.
A couple of years later I had a similar experience but because I had experienced that fear before I didn't hesitate to go grab a knife and get ready to defend myself.
Thankfully it didn't come to anything violent.

Damnit.

are you retarded?

Of course he is, you're replying to an underaged shitposter

The car thing actually makes sense, since the car has more chances to avoid you than you have to avoid the car. Also, which side would you jump to, knowing that you could be going for your death if the car decides to move that same way?

They are decent horror gamers, even though they aren't scary at all. I liked the first one a lot more.

>In a life/death situation the body is extremely unlikely to paralize, no matter the fear
Paralyzed with fear is a real thing. It variable but generally speaking it's not flight or fight, it's flight, fight or just give up and let yourself die. The latter is not actually that unusual though it's not often that it's the first choice. Watch some predator prey nature videos and you'll see it's actually pretty common for an animal to just give up and do nothing if the flight attempt failed. Humans do the same thing. It's just a matter of circumstances.

Ridiculous coping strategy.

>no u
LOL u mad kid ? :^)

dude, trust me

Absolutely not true.
By definition humans have a fight-or-flight reflex.
Either you escape, or you fight.
A cornered rat will bite.
Now of course sheltered bastards will freeze on the spot and start crying like the wussies they are.
But i've seen both men and women fight teeth and nails to defend themselves or their loved ones.
I think the more shitty situations you've been in, the more developed your "fight" part is.
>oh no! this completely out of the ordinary situation is happening to me! aaaaaaaaaa somebody help meeeeeeeeeee

>knives, axes, pitchforks everywhere
>you never even try to punch someone or pick up a weapon even after being chased around for hours
I hate that shit, especially in outlast 2 were you nearly exclusively encounter malnourished hicks

No, I read in a science magazine that freezing in the face of danger is a beneficial evolutionary trait from ancient humans. If you're walking through the woods and see something rustling in the bushes, it makes sense to freeze instantly because dinosaurs can only detect movement, and things standing still become invisible to them. it was a good tactic for surviving raptor attacks

fuck you lying faggot. post sources to prove that not being able to fight in horror games isin't shit design.

first one is great, one of the best horror games of all time. the second one is very mediocre to poor.

>give up and do nothing if the flight attempt failed
Exactly. As I said, this works after submission. It's extremely unlikely, unless some severe case of depresion or something, for a human to just let the other person kill it unless violence is already being applied, triggering the mechanism that allows for surrender. The natural instinct of the animal was to attempt to flee.
The "paralyzed with fear" thing happens when death isn't imminent. It's been proven that the paralysis is "broken" after deadly caution.

>ancient humans
>dinosaurs can only detect movement
>standing still become invisible to them
>good tactic for surviving raptor attacks
people like you are allowed to vote.

Fear paralysis is when the fight or flight kicks in and you don't know if you CAN fight it or even if you CAN do anything to get away, so you just sit there and get as much information about it as you can.

>raptor attacks
Hey Mr Flintstone

Rip to ur grandma but im different

We commited genocide, Barney.

Nah, they gameplay (or lack thereof) wears out its welcome when the game reaches its half way point. The Whistleblower DLC for the first game was good because it was short so it didn't have time to become boring

worse yet, people like YOU are allowed here

this is actually true aside from the dinosaur part
wtf, sport

>It's extremely unlikely, unless some severe case of depresion or something, for a human to just let the other person kill it unless violence is already being applied, triggering the mechanism that allows for surrender. The natural instinct of the animal was to attempt to flee.
If you are a small child or woman and are cornered by a full grown adult male chances are you will attempt neither fleeing nor fighting, you'll just give up. Doesn't matter if the guy has applied violence yet or not, there is the knowledge that you don't stand a chance and that's enough for just giving up. You don't need to be suffering from a severe case of depression for this to happen. It's just a natural reaction. I've heard explanations like it's an instinctual reaction that is designed to preserve the herd with self sacrifice and shit like that but who knows.

im not the amerimutt that believes dinosaurs and humans walked around at the same time

Nice reddit meme

That thumbnail looks like a zombie Rusty Venture and now I can't unsee it

>It's been studied
how the fuck do you study a zombie apocalypse without zombies?

>he doesn't know

You are precious.

It doesn't work like that, user. A child will try to escape. A woman might submit if she's suspiscious of rape and inherently has the feeling that resisting would be worse, but not in the case of death caution. If she is 100% you are trying to kill her, she is going to do anything to escape, in the corner. UNTIL, the attacker grabs any of her limbs and immediatly shows her brain that her muscles aren't enough to resist. THAT is when her brain can shut down.
I'm not a rapist

thanks.
I saw this image back in 2009 and did some research to see if it was true that dinosaurs can't see still objects, and apparently, it is.

true but that's a game so you can vacate your autist self

>good
yes if you're into first person and horror

whistleblower>1>2 btw

If you flee you activate the pursuit response in predators. Thats why standing your ground is more beneficial. You have the chance to scare/fight them away. Predators dont want to risk getting injured. Humans cant outrun predators.

it's a car

No, you are just wrong. You'd be surprised how little a fight most humans put up. Or maybe you wouldn't. Why do you think your rapes are so easy? A struggling women would make it almost impossible to successfully perform intercourse but they just give up and lay there and take it with relatively little effort. Don't they, rapist?

you are working me, aren't you?

>It's been studied


Where? In the cuck university?

Humans are apex predators you mong, fuck animals we have spears

>not getting into a fistfight with a car

Your brain reacts until it's shown it's not enough and the only way to lower the pain caused by the attacker is to stop making pressure in the opposite direction of his movements. That's submission. It doesn't happen until violence is applied. Before that, they try to escape.

>Humans are apex predators
No, they aren't. An apex predator is a predator who is not prey to any other predators. Humans do not fall in that category. There's plenty of animals out there that can and will happily kill and consume a human.

Not if I have a gun

> huurr badurr animals rool the world

If animals are so good at killing why are they the ones in Zoos huh?

this

> Buhuu it's so hard to live in Africa muh lions!!!

Bitch, a few lanklets with spears can kill a lion

>An apex predator is a predator who is not prey to any other predators
Great Whites are apex predators and are prey to Orca's.

Outlast 2 fucking sucked. It's basically the adventures of simp and stronk innepennant wimin. Outlast 1 at least had a premise other than "MUST GIT PUSSY!"

this, gun > everything

first one is really fun and has a bunch of homoerotic enemies
haven't played the second one

Its about behavior. Humans have guns for a extremely short time. While spears are here much longer it needs a lot of dudes with spears to even be able to kill one Tiger. A predator of this level can maul several people in very short time.

Humans are animals too, champ. We just happen to not be particularly strong or fast or in possession of large jaws with lots of sharp teeth, etc., etc., compared to a lot of the other large predators out there. We can always take solace in the fact that we are insanely smarter than them all. It's ridiculous how big a gap there is between the intelligence of humans and the next smartest animal in the world. It's not even close to being a contest.

One guy with a knife could kill a tiger, retard.

What the fuck is this retarded statement
Why do we continue to allow third worlders to use this website

We're also extremely good at endurance. We would beat every single animal in the world in a marathon competition.

>In a Horror game situation
What the fuck are talking about? Did researchers recreate the Texas Chainsaw Massacre or Resident Evil?
>studies have shown
By who?
>you would become paralyzed with fear and you wouldn't fight but give up and let the evil beings kill you
Yeah no. Our bodies would release a massive dose of adrenaline and we would either fight, run, or some third thing. But definitely not just sit their and die

Cringe outlast 2 is great

It still baffles me to think how we're the only ones to have such a developed intellect compared to other species.
