Outlast

[Bridge]

its the same thing people, in this siteration fanboyism is a way of putting it in a bad light and respect is a way of putting it in a good light. but its the same thing, in this case at least.

Sorry to say, but it is not a minor semantic issue. Yes, if you want to oversimplify it, it is putting things in a bad/good light, but the implications (and therefore the true meanings) are completely different. Here is a standard definition of fanboyism:

The collective outlook and behavior of a group of people concerning a subject (movies, games, hardware, comic book characters, etc.) which when challenged results in an antagonistic, passionate, and unreasoned response.
Rampant Fanboyism can be found on most internet message boards when such hot button subjects are discussed. You know a fanboy when you see one.

AKA, getting unreasonably defensive when somebody challenges the merits of <insert object of fanboyism here>.

As opposed to the standard definition of respect in this context:

verb (used with object)
9.
to hold in esteem or honor: I cannot respect a cheat. "

There is a huge difference. If you don't see it, then consider how people respect Shakespeare and what he's done, if they are familiar with his work, and would readily defend him if someone even considered saying his legacy could somehow be replaced by someone else's. Then consider people who live and breath Shakespeare and get incredibly hostile when anybody even suggests that he is not the absolute greatest writer that ever lived.

The former example is respect for his contribution to art, and the latter is complete and utter fanboyism.

EDIT: I don't even think Amnesia is close to perfect. However, in the short 3 years it has been out it has already redefined horror and proven that video games truly are a viable storytelling medium. And because of that, I hold the game and Frictional in very high regard and certainly do take exception to the ridiculous idea that it can be replaced. Even if Outlast is twice as scary and has a greater story, it will still not replace it.
