Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 1

[Bridge]

Well, Pigs can't come soon enough frankly. I took the plunge with Slender and realized it was probably the most overrated horror game I have ever, ever played. Seriously. So you turn and he is waiting for you. So you 'jump'. And that's the game.

Replace Slender with, giant smiling sunflower, disused toaster, or frozen combine harvester and it's the same effect. It's the easiest, most cowardly way to 'scare' you even though it's just a short sharp shock more then anything. Collecting 8 pages? Why? And why don't the pages have anything useful for at least some sort of a story? None of that matters because apparently all that's important is the aesthetics of a horror game, or should I say a horror experience. Pah.

Oh, so The Slender: Arrival does try to make a game of it and according to most it sucks. So that says it all. Nobody has done it better then FG in recent times.

Just a random unrelated thought: Have you played Penumbra yet?
