Disappointed with AAMFP

TDD, survival horror?

Riiiiiight.

It was a first person adventure/puzzler horror game. Not a survival horror game, for starters.

When people keep saying ''it's not an Amnesia game because they changed the gameplay!'' and when asked what changed about the gameplay they answer ''NO SANITY METER, NO INVENTORY, NO BACKTRACKING AND NO INTERACTION'' it clearly shows how knee jerky and reactive they are. AMFP plays mostly like TDD did. Puzzles are simpler (though I wouldn't call them puzzles), the game is more linear than TDD and they removed two elements. That's hardly turning the game into another genre. So the genre didn't change. It's a different focus but that doesn't mean it's ''not an Amnesia'' game. For it to be just ''some game they slapped Amnesia in front of the title'' it'd have to have no connection to the universe and completely changed the gameplay, ie turning it from a first person adventure horror game into a kart racer so the example is clear.

Did they do anything like that? Of course not. So i'm just pointing out how knee jerky people are just because ''it's not le scary''.

As for the story, again, same argument. ''It's so predictable! I ignored the notes cause they were boring and couldn't understand them!!!" The story is supposed to inspire a cerebral fear of how disgusting and vile Mandus is and how a person's goal to change the world in some way goes horribly awry. It NEVER tried to make you think that the kids were alive, they clearly weren't. They never tried to make you think Mandus was a sane individual. NEVER. They didn't add a stupid twist because they weren't TRYING to make the player think ''oooh who is this guy? Are the kids alright? I sure hopeeeee soooooooo''.

And I never said anything about AMFP offering an ''emotional experience''. The only emotions i've felt is fear and disgust, not the feels The Last Of Us gave me. What I was talking in that instance was that i''d rather play or read a game with a story written like that than one with a stupid twist. AMFP's story, so far, has been interesting, well written and makes me want to keep going deeper and deeper so I can find out how far Mandus went. THAT's the whole point of the story in this case. Not a ''who-dunnit''.
