it happens, people buy a sequel thinking it will be like the original, but sometimes it's not. i really like this game and very happy i bought it. but not everyone can enjoy it for what it is.

you might like better outlast, i didn't play it but from what i saw it's all about the jumpscares and very little about the story, it looked like the polar opposite of AMFP. AMFP is very good but in a diffrent way from most horror games.

But I'll still enjoy it probably.. just not in the same way as Dark Decent.

I just assumed it would be the same since Penumbra and DD were. Not sure why they have strayed from tradition.. its definitely not better so far!

well i think they try and innovate, do something diffrent. the penumbra and amnesia games were amazing and successful because they were diffrent from other horror games. getting rid of the weapons in black plague is kinda of a bold and risky move, much like getting rid of interactive object to pick and play with.

i think a lot of the bad things people claim this game have are right, espacilly advertising badly, it's far from perfect but don't blame them for trying new things and experimenting with mechanics. if they stop doing that we might be getting a new game every year that is basicly the same thing with a new story (sorry but COD jump straight to mind).

give them a fair review and opinion, tell them what you didn't like and needs fixing and what you liked and feels really good. but don't bash them for trying, we will all benefit if they perfect a new style for horror games.

That there's a saboteur? That was mentioned a few times.
