Thoughts on A:AMFP

I don't mind at all. I actually enjoy it.
IF you play tdd and amfp one after the other you'll notice there isn't much variety in the first's asset's when compared to amfp in which there is no place like the other. I'm also talking about variety in encounters and events. You actually could think you didn't knew what was about to happen. As for tdd, after a few levels the game became just more of the same. Similar map structure and similar monster mechanics

How you define a game genre depends on how much you're willing to generalize. I can't actually find a way to explain this clearly but I think it's noticeable that this game is far different from Amnesia. For example, within survival horror you could find both games, but I can actually connect Slender with the first Amnesia a lot better than with this Amnesia. If those mechanics you're so fond of existed this game would fall into the same place as tdd and well... it would just be another game.

I can't understand what's so good about the inventory system. Maybe you could enlighten me?[/size]

I'm against targeting larger audiences. I believe anything made with that intent is all but somehow empty. I find it extraordinarily rewarding to see that people like The Chinese Room try to touch in the deeper parts of meaning, instead of jjust making a commercial game that could sell a lot more. Similar case is comparing regular disco music with 80's rock such as The Doors.
It's about the content and how much of an impact it can have on yourself if you let it.
If I say Call of Duty is an empty game and you understand why, you actually understood my reasons.
