RE: Are Amnesia players adults or teens? - Kman - 03-26-2013 Um, yeah, and I still firmly believe that it's kind of fucked up that kids that young are playing a game like Amnesia. Hell it's pretty fucked up that I played it as young as I did but I was pretty fucked up as it was so meh. Goddamn people it's rated M for a reason. RE: Are Amnesia players adults or teens? - Wooderson - 03-26-2013 GTA at 5 yo. I have to say, the kids on the forums seem to hold themselves up pretty well and have a mature attitude towards it... At 10-11, I think I was pretty mature for that age but comparing me to these kids... Damn. RE: Are Amnesia players adults or teens? - Tommyboypsp - 03-26-2013 If the game doesn't scare you (and you're not just saying that to be tough), then how do you enjoy it? I'm like a dog, when the enemy has turned it's back on me I'm brave and I'll try to lure it, but when it sees or hears me I freak out again haha. It's a never ending cycle. Well.. until the three dots ![]() Oh, I'm 20, if it's helpful for your topic.

There were several scare moments that I thoroughly enjoyed - probably because of the excellent sounds and 'suddenness' of events. There have been times playing Thief 1 and 2 that were also fear moments. However I don't react with fits of screaming... but often feel my heart pumping faster and the adrenaline rush that a good scare gives you. I play in a dark house at night with no lights on. I do not live near a town and it's always quiet at night with an occasional owl whoo whooing or the sound of a rat making noise out in kitchen. I am a hermit by choice, and I live alone.... so the atmosphere is perfect. I'm looking forward to this next game hoping it will scare me death... and it just may as I'm over seventy.

I have been using computers daily since the 1970s, I have taught over 10,000 people how to do various things with computers that includes programming on every type of computer that was available from Altair, zx80s Kaypro, IBM, Vic 20, Commodore64, Texas Instruments, Apple II , Umpteen types of RadioShack computers. MACs and an assortment of others including the building of them. I've taught everything from binary and assortment of early languages including DOS and HTML. I've used computers daily since 1974.... oh, and before that I used typewriters occasionally... BUT...even now I have to look at the keyboard to type. My wife and children type like they have gone insane - words appear as fast as light - and this is while they look and talk to someone standing beside them. That blows me away. Being able to type without looking at the keyboard is something I'll never achieve. In fact I bought a keyboard that has a blue glow on the keys (Saitek) for gaming in the dark. It's not hard to use wasd but fingers sometimes need to scratch a nose then come back down to the keyboard and have to "refind" the wasd again. Losing moments and resulting in getting killed in the meantime. This problem is multiplied when you have an assortment of other keys that need to be used instantly in game like weapons, spells, potions assorted actions etc.,. I play like this - and consider it part of the fun really as I come into the game permanently handicapped and have more of a challenge. Looking at it like that it's a plus. What you play and how you do it should be enormous fun regardless of what handicap you start with. I remember a brain surgeon who came to me to learn how to use a computer (back in the 80s when word processing and spreadsheets was all the buzz amongst professionals) he quit the class within a couple lessons because the key board was too confusing. The lesson to learn here is that one man's skills are another man's spills. RE: Are Amnesia players adults or teens? - Sarcophagus - 03-26-2013 Jesus fuckin Christ , everybody is with that Pewdiepie guy when a horror game is about to release. YEAAA I GOT IT , HE IS COOL , I also watch his videos but when you watch a damn trailer like the new Amnesia trailer DO NOT FUCKING WRITE COMMENTS ABOUT PEWDIEPIE PLAYING IT. Just because you are a damn pu*sy and you can't play it don't tell everybody about it. DAMN I GOT MAD.. have to listen to some Cannibal Corpse now. RE: Are Amnesia players adults or teens? - GiggleBlizzard - 03-26-2013 I'm 17, picked up the game when it came out in 2010, I was 14 back then when I played through it. There are few true western horror games out there, and even less that are good. Amnesia: The Dark Descent was one of the only horror games that really caught my soul. I love everything about it, the setting, the story, the music, sound effects and the horror. I sat in front of the screen for 10 hours straight just so immersed, feeling the thrills from the horror and the need to know what the hell was happening kept me going through the story. I like to say horror is a bit like nightmarish sex and made up of two factors. 1. Atmosphere - The theme and atmosphere gives you a creepy and unsettling feeling that puts you in this state where you're completely immersed and you're expecting something to happen. Just like the pleasure you get from sex this is what keeps you going. 2. Suspense - The stuff that gets your adrenaline pumping and your head beating with terror. Wether it's a jump scare or a chase scene, it's the peak of the hellish orgasm. It's incredibly useful to talk about it that way because you can't have continious suspense, jump scares after jump scares. There are few games that manage this really well. For example Silent Hill has a great atmosphere but in my opinion not enough suspense. A lot of action games such as FEAR or Doom don't have the atmosphere but a lot of suspense, and without the atmosphere building or backing it up the suspense isn't as great. Amnesia did both perfectly.

You're the first to mention him? ![]() RE: Are Amnesia players adults or teens? - Thief1337 - 03-26-2013 The only reason why I can't wait for AAMFP to be released is because I wanna see God (PewDiePie) play the game. While I'm eating twinkies and cuddling with my two little kitties, I'll be able to tell my friends I was 'First' on each one of his videos. |
