Disappointed with AAMFP

[Pig]

Saying AAMFP is "Fairy Tale" or that it doesn't have anything to do with horror is idiotic. It has numerous horror elements in both the story and in the scenery as well. The game uses numerous horror and mystery elements throughout the whole game, and you obviously don't know a thing about the genre if you're saying otherwise.

Not all horror is like TDD just like not all horror movies are like Nightmare on Elm Street. TDD, AMFP, and Outlast are pretty much the equivalent of playing a horror movie. Those three games all fall under the same genre, which is horror, but utilize it differently. Just because it isn't what you expected or wanted doesn't mean it's something different, because it isn't. They all follow a similar idea of game play, which is putting you as the main character in a scary situation that you must figure out on your own. TDD is not purely survival horror and it isn't the best game that falls under that sub genre either. In fact, one could even could even compare it to something like a Haunted House walk through at a theme park (and that goes for Outlast too).

A lot of you talk about how AMFP is SO linear and all this nonsense, yet a lot of you also think a very linear way when it comes to analyzing the game and why it was made the way it was. Frictional Games was fully aware of what they were releasing and that says a whole lot. There was only 1 Amnesia game before AMFP, so there was not a set "way" or style that Machine HAD to have and you really shouldn't have expected anything from the game besides a dark atmosphere, a story, and monsters that scare you.

Also, Outlast is incredibly repetitive and loses it's scariness about halfway through the game and it also relies on a lot of scripted scares. I played it before I played Machine and I found Machine maintained it's tension for a majority of the game. Also, Outlast is EXACTLY like AMFP when it comes to types of missions you're doing. You pretty much know exactly what to do and where to go. With that said, Outlast is awesome and you should check it out if you really enjoy games like Amnesia (and if you're not a little sour puss about everything when it isn't exactly what you pictured).
