RE: Disappointed with AAMFP

(09-25-2013, 03:10 AM)Abraxas Wrote: I know I'm late to the party here (stupid job and biological need for sleep) and probably can't add much to what's already been said, but truthfully OP, a lot of us that loved the game have dealt with the same arguments over and over, on this or other forums. It gets old, having to repeat and repeat oneself on the same points.
I see a lot of 'well it had the Amnesia title on it, it must be the same', as if the Amnesia series is a long established series with a particular idiom. It isn't. Let them try new ways of approaching horror instead of the same formulaic, warn out cliches.
Personally, psychological horror appeals infinitely more to me than horror that is all shock and jump scares (I find it rather cheap).
In the end, I'm probably not going to persuade anyone who has clearly made their mind up. I love the game, as well as its predecessor. Oops.


You see. People aren't asking for the same thing, this is a fallacy, they were asking for an expansion or change to Amnesia's mechanics, instead they got a subtraction. It'd be like playing Tetris, and then in Tetris 2 you can only put the pieces down in one way.

To me, AMFP was actually more jump scary than TDD, all the loud noises that happened now and then just served to show me how bad the game was at creating horror. The loud noises in TDD were actually followed by dangerous events, so I understood that they had weight.

Saying AMFP is more psychological horror does not change the problem, many of us did not find the game scary, period. Whereas TDD scared me both psychologically and physically.
