Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 1

[Diz]

If someone can't play a game like amnesia without immersing themselves in the slightest, and then just starts acting like someone they saw in a video, then something is wrong... and that something isn't pewdiepie.

Welcome to the boards. =)

I agree. Watching Let's Plays of Amnesia will not ruin all of the immersion if one decides to play it themselves, and one is going to feel the true terror when actually playing it with their own hands. However, if one decides to watch a Let's Play and then play it themselves, I believe it may affect the immersion somewhat because it already is familiar and you might know what is coming up, thus not having the same terror as one would have when playing blind, so I do recommend watching the trailer or just a very little bit of a Let's Play and then play it yourself if you have plans of doing so, in order to have the best experience and amnesia condition effect.

There are players who are unable to immersing themselves, and those may easily find Amnesia to be a boring game. Craving for action, etc. Though that has more to do with them personally than with watching others playing it before they try it themselves, I would say.

Do join us in our intriguing speculation regarding the upcoming Amnesia game, A Machine For Pigs. Excited?
