Disappointed with AAMFP

[Diango12]

Aa sht another one of these...

1. Firstly: Why would the "lantern" run on oil when it is clearly electric.
Sure, they could have added batteries or something but if you think about the actual time the game takes to complete that would mean that these batteries would only last like 10-20 minutes, And I personally would not like to look for batteries all the time or simply ending up not using the "lantern" due to being afraid of running out of batteries.

Also the "lantern" plays a big role in the game so it is meant to be used...

2. The darkness mechanic in TTD was based on the protagonists fear of the dark. Mandus may not have suffered as much from darkness as he has probably been living in a quite dark world already...

3. Sure the monsters seemed a bit stupid I can agree on that, but they still served their purpose.
I think the health regeneration feature was excellent, no more annoying red blur all over the screen.
Also the monsters in AMFP seemed to be hitting much faster so if you'd get caught and trapped they would probably have killed you...

Also if you think this game so incredibly bad then I do not believe you understood what the game was actually about. It is not meant to be compared with TDD as it's not made by the same studio.

Put it like this.
Someone on the forum produces a custom story.
You then play it and think it's great!
You then pick another custom story.
And you think it sucks only because it didn't include all the features the other one did.
Do you realize how stupid this is?

So before posting a comment like this... Please analyze the game and then post a educated comment about why you feel a certain way...

Previously they promised the community a game that would make the "TDD veteran quiver in fear". That clearly is not what they have presented us with. Perhaps you disagree? Do you find this game scary at all?

I would be completely okay without these mechanics as long as it was a scary game, but it is not. Something is missing, and I believe it is these core mechanics from TDD. I am just telling you why I think the game is bad. And no.. there is nothing stupid about that.

You're not stupid and you did give valid criticism, even though I do not agree that removing TDD mechanics ruined the game. I do think that marketing this game as an Amnesia title and not delivering Amnesia mechanics is a bad business practice that we as a game community must discourage.

I think a lot of the problems Aamfp faces is due to their own marketing. The teasers and trailers showed off a very different experience. The impression I got from one trailer where one of the pig monsters was tearing at a door while Mandus was cowering in the corner gasping and whimpering is just not this game post release.

So a lot of mixed and inconsistent messages to the fanbase and a post release that failed to deliver a horror game. The detractors mention mechanics as one of the problems and narrative as another. But if the supporters would stop deliberately shining a spotlight on the mechanics in the negative reviews they can be a little more honest and actually discuss some of the other gripes people raise.
