Quote: I don't get this at all; of course nothing will replace the experience of playing ATDD for the first
time but repeat plays are still very enjoyable and don't diminish the original in any way - that's like saying a favourite film shouldn't be viewed multiple times. For me Amnesia is all about exploring the environment and despite it's darkness it's actually a world I've enjoyed revisiting regularly.
Sorry for the misunderstanding, but that's in no way the point I was making.
If you read my second post, you'll see that I have the exact same opinion as you when it comes to playing games multiple times and that my critique was referring to something different, namely sacrificing quality in order to create some increased replay value.
But like I said earlier, this thread is becoming kinda buggy, so maybe my second post was simply invisible to you. I myself couldn't see it for quite some time and neither the posts that came after it. I think this thread is reaching critical mass... we really should continue the discussion in a new one and just make this one sticky or something!
