Games that make you feel uneasy; Maybe I'm just weird?

I'm NOT talking about horror/scary/disturbing games. Those can be fun. But I mean games that just give you this sense of unease. Something's amiss, not quite right, wrong.

Crysis, for example. It looks nice and is widely renowned, but there's something about it I illogically just don't like.

All Aspect Warfare is another game that is simply unsettling. But that is because it seems to have this strange open environment that looks like it belongs in the last two decades of gaming.

There was another, it actually triggered the thought of this topic, but the name is being elusive.

Anyway, has anyone else experienced this? Am I a little bit insane?

Maybe just a little. It takes a lot to be insane.

There was one mission in Armored Core for Answer where you are responsible for over 10 000 000 deaths... and you're the one shooting the weapons, you didn't order someone else to do it it was you and some Russian guy.

NHL 2K9... it seems weird how you can have Kazakstan vs a team that in reality is getting ready to move into a seniors home... or a grave...

Dead Rising, the lawnmower. HOW DO YOU KNOCK OVER A HERD OF ZOMBIES AND MAUL THEM UP WITHOUT LOSING MOMENTUM!

Rock Band. It creeps out to see this manly looking metal guy singing You Oughta Know...

Chibi-Robo, HE HAS A BLACK HOLE IN HIS HEAD!

Spore, you can make some serious freaks of nature in this game...

The list goes on... and on... and on... etc.

A lot of shoot'em ups and horror games confuse me. Not that I'm afraid of them, but they employ a predominantly grey/dark background which is uneasy on my eyes.

Also, anytime a character in a game falls a great height I feel like I'm faling as well. Irritates me as hell.

Kingdom Hearts. It's *ing unexplainable, and so *ing retardely annoying. I mean, it's like I just can't stand the game. Talking about it *ing annoys me to no god damn end. I don't.. AERJIAGFJDASGF. HATE GAME.

That, and as Seto mentioned, darkish games. L4D scared me the first time I played it because the zombies run faster than you can run, but after getting used to it, it was pretty badass. But yeah, dark environments where I can barely see aren't any cool.

I normally turn up my brightness when I play shooters. I pass up horrors, not my kind of game. I go for RPG's mainly.

Shooting games with regenerating health just seem weird... where does it all come from... I think that after that thousandth bullet you wouldn't be running around... killing...

Oblivion with 849 weight worth of items my character can jump around like crazy and run like the wind. At 850, I'm immobile...

Fallout 3, at 250 weight I'm fine. 251, I walk. 8352 and I still walk... with no impairment difference from 251...

Portal, U OWE ME A CAKE DAMNIT!

Back to shooters, in multilayer how can your player keep coming back to life...

Mercenaries 2, random piles of cash conveniently on a crate waiting to be picked up alongside some missiles...

Legend of Zelda, why don't they all all have Zelda?

Crash Bandiccot, giant floating berries give you a new life...

Theres more I just forget them

I like all of these games retard... obviously I've played them... Crash Bandicoot pwns especially the part in two where jumping repeatedly on a polar bear gives you 20 lives or something like that. Unless this is about the typo I had in which case... srsly, wtf PICK SOMETHING BETTER TO CRITICIZE!

Pokemon, sending out this little kid to explore the country... filled with monsters...

Chibi Robo, IT HAS A BLACK HOLE IN ITS HEAD! I CAN'T STRESS THAT ENOUGH

Halo, how do these pwnage cyborg super soldiers all die when one pretty much wins the entire war

Roller Coaster Tycoon, I've had people stay at my park for 3 years straight

Animal Crossing, possibly the greatest ever unemployment rate ever seen, EVER

Dude, you're criticizing games when you claim to be a snow dinosaur that will dominate the world. Seriously, getting lifes for grabbing 100 Oompa Loompas is NOT uneasy at all.

it wasn't the collection of them, it was the fact that they just sit there and float... and spin... and... who put them there! I needs a drink... :DRUNKARDS:

Pokemon is such a pretentious game. It's full of shit.

Young intrepid explorer ventures out into the wild at a young age to find and subdue monsters that the show implies are waiting to be caught. Basically you find the Pokemon, beat them to the pulp, capture it and suddenly it becomes your slave. Willing to fight other Pokemon and subsequently subdue and capture them.

Do you condone dog fighting? Then why condone Pokemon fights? And the funny thing is, is that Ash talks about his love and devotion for his Pokemon all while letting Pikachu get strangled by an Onyx.

I'd still love my dog, even if it was getting strangled by a python. And then it would rain acid and the python would be so around my dog that it would protect it from the acid and still dieeeeeeeeee GO PUPPY YOU CAN DO IT LEVEL UP AND USE CRUNCH INSTEAD OF BITE!!!!!!!!!!11

I agree with you. Crysis is bit confusing. I have stopped playing it.

Apparently the Nintendo 3DS has been making some people feel uneasy in the physical sense. Apparently the 3D images make a lot of gamers feel nauseous.

Anyway, I've never liked Mortal Kombat. I don't mind violence in general, but for some reason MK's violence turns me off from the game. I don't even played it if it is offered to me. Same with the Grand Theft Auto games. I think it's something to do with the fact that the main selling point of these games is to be controversial which makes me less likely to like them.
