RE: Amnesia VS Penumbra - Penumbra - 01-02-2011 I don't consider Requiem as a part of the actual story. I think of it more as a 'what could of happened expansion. I feel like it was made just to satisfy everyone on the forums who kept asking, "what happened?". A good game leaves the player wanting more or asking questions, by adding Requiem I think they took that away. Plus the voice acting wasn't the same to me. I felt like the whole expansion was forced. Anyways, I guess if you look at it in a different point of view it was kinda fun to solve the puzzles and play with the physics some. I just wish it didn't carry the Penumbra title.

(but skip Requiem) Things will get scarier as your play.Is Requiem really not that great? I've just started it last night, and I'm still in the room you wake up in (only played for 5 min or so). I'll probably play it anyway, but it seems people don't like it as much. It's all puzzles with little story or spooks, I wasn't crazy about it, but it was okay.

Try clicking them to find out what they do. If you can't figure out what to do, or your screen doesn't have such buttons (which is very unlikely), then just change the gamma to fit and it should be fine anyway. @requiemdiscussion: Requiem actually does contain some mysteries. Spoiler below!

It is one of the ~100 I would say are truly excellent games. Penumbra (Black Plague in particular) is one of the best games I've ever played in my entire life, period. That's the difference.

Anyways the penumbra series is like 3 different games. The first ones more of a combat horror, although it has a few of its moments. Theres time when its impossible to fight at all (like against worms, or a bunch of spiders). Penumbra Black Plague is when frictional ditches combat all together, its pretty much like amnesia except without that sanity crap, and the enemys occasionally have flashlights. Also the game likes to fuck with your head. The third ones just puzzles. Seriously, thats all it is. Its basically portal without the portal gun. Amnesia is kinda like black plague. Its got puzzles, and enemys you can't fight. It also messes with you sometimes. Honestly Amnesia and Black Plague are pretty much equal in my opinion, amnesia vs. the penumbra series, I'd say amnesia is better. |
