Make thargoids creepy...

[Nalessa]

The 80's Thing movie alien is probably the scariest, just needs to touch you to infect you basically, and you can barely tell if someone is infected untill the person turns into a grotesque monster.

Silent Hill 2, that brings back (bad) memories... and the music, which was subtly driving you insane with tension. When the pyramid guy first appeared and then left... oh mama. The scariest moment of my gaming career (after he left and the music was suggesting he will promptly return), I was unable to play on headphones anymore. And that's from a guy who liked playing human on alien vs predator.

I never even finished Silent Hill, so I didn't start SH2. (I was a bit too young to work out the puzzles!)

As for Alien Vs Predator, I used to love being the Alien. You'd be surprised in multiplayer how many people -in an Alien game - still don't look up. Lol

I used to basically sit above a bulkhead on a door and "nom" everyone's head as the walked past.

I want the Thargoids to look and behave like a bunch of Jar Jar Binkses.

What could be more terrifying?

Usually, my good manners dictate not to threaten people, but in your case i make an exception

On topic: I am sure that the aliens will be at least very alien. So far the encounters have been strange, creepy and terrifying and the aliens in person will be nothing less. I am also seeing the current encounters as nothing but a robotic workforce, that prepares everything for the return of the "real" aliens.

"Humanoid" face, cold evil eyes lower lid, small flat nose, very tall narrow bold forehead, sharp teeth, small chin, holes for ears, something falling on the sides of the head - tentacles? Enough?

And you have never even met me!

... and scary. Cute cuddle aliens suck. So do humanoid ones. We need something that should make you crap your pants in VR. If we ever get to kick our space legs around in their environments with them.

If I was flying, minding my own business, and I casually glanced over to one of the spare seats in my Anaconda, and there was something sitting there looking at me, I would need to have my computer chair re-upholstered. And that would happen whether it was the scariest alien ever or was a small puppy!

I remember playing a demo version of half-life many years ago. It was the first such game that I'd played, and also, the first with stereo sound. As I played in my sitting room at around midnight, something growled in the dining room. I very nearly crapped myself until I realised it was the game. Since that day, I have always worn incontinence pants when playing certain types of game

Perhaps the thargoid could have a type of weapon that peels open the hull of the ship, and tracker beams crew from the inside into the inner bowels of the ship. Something reminiscent of Skyline. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmKdBd3pYrI

Or how about one that implodes the enemy ship, crushing it with magnets or something. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zz95_VvTxZM
