Disappointed with AAMFP

[jacksepticeye]

When I read things like these it seems people remember TDD far more fondly than it actually is. They make it seem like the best thing ever created and that it didn't make any of the same mistakes.

TDD's monsters were cool for the first half of the game, then they became highly predictable and annoying.
The story and overall game dragegd WAY too much
The ending to it was pretty poor
Lantern oil and tinderboxes were cool until you realised the dark never actually did anything to you and you could just stockpile them until you actually needed them
Insanity was the same thing. They made you think looking at the monster or being in the dark had some huge side effects but it really didn't. It was just an annoying sound and blurry screen effect.
Th story was decent but it took just a bit TOO much from H.P Lovecraft. AMFP did this too but very clearly had it's own style to it

Overall TDD is a better flat out horror game for sure, but it wasn't perfect. It was full of tedium and backtracking and it was a game with a really strong first half and then a rinse repeat second half.

AMFP has a MUCH better story that is really pervasive and gets in your head and actually made me cringe from time to time.
AMFP also had incredible audio that make TDD look extremely laughable (though those were DIY sounds at the time)
The writing and voice acting were leaps and bounds ahead of TDD too

People are exaggerating how good TDD is and how bad AMFP is in the last few days. When the dust settles I think people will change their opinions slightly again
