I first played Doom II when I was 7 years old. I only had unlimited ammo and no clip codes, so the first time I fought the Cyberdemon, I died after a few seconds of extreme terror. From that day on, I’d never fight Cyberdemons, I’d use noclip and go around them, or hide in the walls if I made sounds and watch them rampage about. Worst fear was them spotting me near where the wall begins and shooting at that area.
For about 2 years I had infrequent but recurring nightmares about being stalked by a Cyberdemon, and they continued until I got God Mode and finally killed one. Then, after some practice, I was able to kill them without God Mode. No sweat, and no more night sweats. The first time was the hard part.
tl;dr – you wouldn’t be terrified. You’d be annoyed, and maybe very ****ed off.
Did you actually meet up with a Cyberdemon? No. You never saw one in the flesh. You had the boundary of the screen and yourself.
