If the dev team pots guns then penumbra goes down the drain like DOOM 3,HALLO and those shit games. I spend my money on Doom3 and the second say i sold it to some idiot, cuz the game wasn't scary actualy i found it kind of boring.Reminded me of Quake 2 or Unreal Tournement.And HALLO...i really don't want to talk about it.

yeah, it'd be best to steer away from games like doom3. I got sick of it after seeing too many demons up close to you, things trying to scare you, which a lot really didn't after awhile. too many guns and ammunition.

you feel like there is no hope in this game, that you'll die. you have little advantage, and that's what makes the game so nice. You don't feel like that super hero that can kill off things/demons with this cool machine gun. You're an average Joe/Jane, trapped in a cave, scared, hungry, isolated from the rest of the world, hearing beasts/creatures throughout the area.
That's what adds horror. Think of these horror movies; a lot consist of teens/young adults, typically without weapons, defenseless, wandering in the dark, not sure what is going on.
that can be spooky. but some demi-god with guns and a suit of armor blazing through the area, just ain't that scary.
