The games like Portal and Dear Esther, which are probably the best games I've played, are only a couple of hours long, so the estimated gameplay of the Pigs doesn't bother me much
We'll see in the end should it have been longer.

I've never understood this passion for bigger/longer/taller/more expensive/etc = 'better'. It's nonsense. Give me quality over 'quantity' any day. Looks at Dear Esther and Journey = two 'short' games that are both superb with great emotional impact.

The main reason why people want A Machine for Pigs to be longer can be answered with a question: why wouldn't you want more of a good thing?

You have a point, I personally also enjoy good long games, and I wouldn't mind at all if the AMFP was ten hours long. But bear in mind that some really great shorter games wouldn't get any better if they were longer and actually could loose some quality.

If there is a way to edit monsters and incorporate new ones for custom stories the possibilities can be endless. Regardless I want someone to recreate the last level to the PS2 game Manhunt with Piggsy. Wondering if anyone played that game
RE: Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Part 2 - Spaceman - 05-01-2013
I wonder, on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being yawn and 10 being heart attack how scary this game will be.
EDIT:
Actually something really interesting just occurred to me. Since they've abolished the inventory system, what if instead of picking stuff up with just the right mouse, they use a hand system of left and right so you can carry more than one item at the same time? Since the end of the penumbra series, they took out the right click to receive 'information' about what the player is pointing at so it wouldn't be out of the question.
That or, perhaps right clicking on a door whilst holding an item will allow you to move into another area with the item still in your hand?

This is how long ATDD is with a speed run http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5SSFBVw8iEpretty short,ha?
That's with a crap-ton of glitches though...

Of course... you're kinda preaching to the choir here, pretty sure everybody here agrees with you. But consider this. IF quality is the same all the way across, would you rather a shorter game, or a longer game?
Longer doesn't necessarily mean worse either, and if the quality of a game is unaffected by it's length, everybody would rather a longer experience than a shorter one (within reason, of course).

So? sites that document speed runs (like speed demos archive) allow you use to glitches. As a rule of thumb as long as you're not using any external programs in-games cheats is allowed. Using unpatched exploits is fine though.
