Disappointed with AAMFP

[SurvivalHorror]

TDD, survival horror?

Riiiiiight.

It was a first person adventure/puzzler horror game. Not a survival horror game, for starters.

When people keep saying ''it's not an Amnesia game because they changed the gameplay!'' and when asked what changed about the gameplay they answer ''NO SANITY METER, NO INVENTORY, NO BACKTRACKING AND NO INTERACTION'' it clearly shows how knee jerky and reactive they are. AMFP plays mostly like TDD did. Puzzles are simpler (though I wouldn't call them puzzles), the game is more linear than TDD and they removed two elements. That's hardly turning the game into another genre. So the genre didn't change. It's a different focus but that doesn't mean it's ''not an Amnesia'' game. For it to be just ''some game they slapped Amnesia in front of the title'' it'd have to have no connection to the universe and completely changed the gameplay, ie turning it from a first person adventure horror game into a kart racer so the example is clear.

Did they do anything like that? Of course not. So i'm just pointing out how knee jerky people are just because ''it's not le scary''.

As for the story, again, same argument. ''It's so predictable! I ignored the notes cause they were boring and couldn't understand them!!!" The story is supposed to inspire a cerebral fear of how disgusting and vile Mandus is and how a person's goal to change the world in some way goes horribly awry. It NEVER tried to make you think that the kids were alive, they clearly weren't. They never tried to make you think Mandus was a sane individual. NEVER. They didn't add a stupid twist because they weren't TRYING to make the player think ''oooh who is this guy? Are the kids alright? I sure hopeeeee soooooooo''.

And I never said anything about AMFP offering an ''emotional experience''. The only emotions i've felt is fear and disgust, not the feels The Last Of Us gave me. What I was talking in that instance was that i''d rather play or read a game with a story written like that than one with a stupid twist. AMFP's story, so far, has been interesting, well written and makes me want to keep going deeper and deeper so I can find out how far Mandus went. THAT's the whole point of the story in this case. Not a ''who-dunnit''.

Amnesia not survival horror? I think maybe you should read up on the definition of survival horror tbf. This point is not up for debate. Puzzle adventure, seriously? And yes the game should be classified in a different genre. How about COD without guns in the same universe? with the same characters. Either the game intended to change the genre or they failed totally and miserably in creating the Amnesia experience. Your pick. And You're doing it again. You think all of us haven't read the notes and are incapable of comprehension? I re-read everything a second time in a desperate bid to find any redeeming quality in the story. I found nothing of note. Cerebral fear? Words just aren't that scary. You talked about emotional experience in order to dismiss the use of a twist as a narrative technique, so one would naturally assume you were trying to defend the position of AMFP, if not why would you put it in your post? My main point is that your vindictive classification of all the naysayers is insulting, uncalled for and totally ignorant, but maybe you cant comprehend that since ive already mentioned it numerous times.
