Playing it, I think Amnesia is a great game, and the atmosphere made me chicken out the first time I played. Then I read this and how true it was, "Amnesia just takes time getting used to". I got used to the chilling atmosphere, and then I basically just threw rocks at monsters, and doesn't afraid of anything.
JustAnotherPlayer, teach this whippersnapper a lesson.
I will
Amnesia isn't a fun game, it's a horror game meant to in strike fear to your heart. Threw rocks at monsters ruins immersion. Why? because if you were chased by a serial killer you won't threw a rock at their face, right? Doesn't afraid of Amnesia means that you didn't immerse yourself nor do you take time to get used to the atmosphere.

To be honest, I don't feel that throwing rocks breaks the immersion. If I were chased by a monster I'd also probably try to pick up some rocks while running and throw them behind me. You knew monsters actually stops for a couple of seconds when you throw things at them, right?

A game like Amnesia has to be fully explored , lived.

I don't see how you can enjoy any game if you don't immerse yourself.

When I play amnesia, the "will there be a monster at the corner or hall" thoughts always pop in my head.

I'm 16, and there are a few moments when I was affraid (the catacomb of Brennenburg are almost the only level who maked me scared, but I've not finished the game yet). I really love the game's ambience and the story just fascinate me, but I don't found that Amnesia TDD is the most scaring game ever created.

Then what is? Amnesia is the scariest game ever made. It could only be beaten by it's sequel, A Machine For Pigs.

And to be honest, Amnesia is predictable as to when a monster will show up.
"oh cool i picked up an item OMG A MONSTER"
"ok when i pick this up will there be a monster? yep there is a monster"
"oh cool i solved a puzzle OMG A MONSTER"
"yeah when i solve this puzzle a monster probably gonna pop up"
"ok the monster hasn't shown up yet but he probably will when i leave this room"

Um, yeah, of course you can immerse yourself in a 2D game. You can immerse yourself in any game, hell you could immerse yourself in a movie or a book or really any other form of media that tells a story, the only difference is games are debatebly the most immersive form. All it means is disregarding the fact that it's a game and letting yourself "become" the character so to speak, and if almost anything has a good enough story and it tells it well then it can be immersive. And yeah I hate to break it to you but running around throwing rocks at the monsters kind of ruins any chance of you getting the right experience, because in a situation where you have some massive deformed monster with a split open face and blade for an arm I can guarantee you your first reaction isn't going to be "oh hey let's throw a rock at it".
