I really really hate cheap jump scares in films and games

Games and films that rely on these are really showing a lack of imagination. The earliest one i remember was the zombie dog jumping through a window in resident evil 1 and then it felt new. But now it has been overdone

I would much rather the atmosphere and the story bring out the scare's a few games create such a atmosphere you always feel unsettled and even if there are no jumps you nerves are on a razer's edge.

I found the jump scares are not really scary but more of a surprise jump as really it could be anything that would pop out even a cute puppy but it would still make you jump.

For me what i find scary is the unseen and the way things can trick your mind into seeing things that may not be there the more psychological scares.

All i can say the the film makers and game makers do not rely on jump scares as once they are seen you know there coming but if you create the right atmosphere and setting it will always last.
