Disappointed with AAMFP

[Alardem]

Thing is, FEAR 2's lack of creepiness was redeemed by being an action game focused on shooting bad guys.

Graphics, sound, environments, and general presentation were good in Outlast, but it didn't redeem itself at all. The plot took an abrupt turn close to the end, wasting an hour of buildup, and finally retreated into an anti-climax.

"But the lack of resolution makes it scary! Besides, how are we going to get a sequel if we finish the plot?"

:p

This isn't the place to 'bash' another game, but to Frictional's credit each game of theirs had satisfying endings. Rushed and annoying from a gameplay stand-point, but at least I don't feel gypped.

Speaking of which, A Machine For Pigs' ending DOES feel a little rushed and I personally would have had it be more visceral. The pig-line, for instance, feels very restrained. Digging into the files for that level reveals audio files of people getting sliced alive by Pigs, which isn't present anywhere in the final product.
