Amnesia killed the horror genre

[Alex7754]

Yeah amnesia is incredibly scary, one of my favorite games but still silent hills earlier games beat it on my list. especially silent hill 2, The atmosphere isn't as free as amnesia but for me it was alot more..weird. tho I was never scared in the way I was when running and hiding from monsters in amnesia, I still felt overwhelmed and uneasy at the deep horror sounds and strange imagery in silent hill. It was like I was slowly uncovering a strange horror that really is real and the game was giving me a small glimpse at it.

I don't agree that penumbra is scarier then amnesia tho, the first penumbra I was more immersed and adventurous then afraid and or terrorized. The dogs where more of a challenge to get past then they were scary, Ive gotta say tho, I hated black plague. like really, Idk what happened but the penumbra story got out of control and lost all appeal to me.

I just wanna add, I cant understand why frictional insists on making some of there character talk like.. Idk how to describe it, Did the way the guy inside your head in blackplague and Agrippa in amnesia and a bit of red in penumbra annoy anyone? every time I heard them talk I felt the immersion slip away. I feel frictional games in onto something, I see it in both penumbra and amnesia and there early game fiend too, but they still have stuff they need to work out and bring into its own before I could say their totally there and have a real masterpiece. still amnesia and the first penumbra are near the top of my short list of best games and Im glad frictional games exists in the world which are still creating games worth playing, it helps me sleep at night. : ) wow I type to much.
I wait eagerly for there next games.
