Thoughts on A:AMFP

I have a problem with a few things you said

"The fact that it was far less repetitive and more diverse and original in everything than it's predecessor"


In what way? They removed all game mechanics and added nothing new. It was literally walking around and collecting notes. The game was very linear. Wouldn't that be more repetitive?


"storytelling in such way that it feels absolutely natural. "
What is natural about purple prose? Even considering the time period. I felt it was too exaggerated and notes often times involved unecessary details.


Daniel was a class man(I presume) And his generation isn't too far off from Mandus no?
"since it was clearly breaking immersion."


So any horror game(or game for that matter) that has a pausing inventory is immersion breaking? Then what about reading notes? Since they do the EXACT same thing. I'm a bit confused at how they broke immersion any way.


Don't take this the wrong way, I'm not critizicng you for liking it, just felt a few things you said seemed off.




MY turn


I didn't like the game.


I just don't like this type of game design(if you can even call it a game) it's too focused on story telling and not gameplay. Even with it being a "horror" this kind of Horror doesn't scare me at all.


The story was IMO reminiscent of Edgar Allen Poe type horror, who I do not find scary but artistic, but not scary. I also just don't believe the story was that good in the first place.


I think I understand most of the story, but in the end it was still "meh" to me.
I think associating it with amensia was in poor taste/judgment and many things point to them just trying to get milk from the cash cow that is amnesia. Where they not aware of the expectations?


It almost seems like creative Hi-jacking to take a game that is know for one thing and to turn it into something else that you've done. This would have been better as DLC (like justine which IMO was better) than a sequel, it would've been easier to dismiss.
