RE: Amnesia killed the horror genre

I understand what you mean. Amnesia is the only game that actually scares the shit out of me right now, every other horror game I've played so far doesn't scare me. Only two games so far have managed to really scare me since I got into horror games in 2008.

Amnesia and Dead Space are those games, Dead Space I am desensitized to and Amnesia still frightens me even when playing with the light on over my head.

I have to agree with you in part.

In all truthfulness i think that amnesia is scarier the dumber you are and the worse player you are.

Let me explain with examples:

A good player in amnesia will always close the door of a room he enters so as to not be surprised. A bad player leaves it open . When the monster appears, the good player hears the sound and hides in a spot. He doesn't even see the enemy because the door is blocking him. A bad player will se the enemy running to them and panick while trying to close the door or won't even close the door and just run for a mile with the monster chasing.

Whom do you think had the scarier experience?

A bad player will run around with his lantern on through dark hallways and bam a monster sees him and he gets scared shitless etc etc
A good player wont run rambo through the levels and instead will keep his lantern hidden as to not be detected thus ensuring much less enemy encounters.

Again who got scared more times?

Not to mention i have seen so many walkthroughs were people because they are dumb hide in the worst places and get caught thus ensuring loud screams on their part. A good player enters a room and instinctively sees where he can hide if needed so when the monster comes he doesn't panic. He just runs to the spot he had chosen before hand.

The list goes on and on but you get my drift.

Lol I matched the description of the good player you just described but it's probably because I'm very careful though that this game still remains very scary for me.

If you play carelessly then most likely you will probably have a scarier experience but if your too careful then you never truly get desensitized to the game and remain scared because you don't see the monster as much.

I have to say though, the monsters are very scary and I find the atmosphere to be quite tense even some events that I know won't harm me in the game, freak me out sometimes when I'm not prepared for it.
