Understandable, but it doesn't matter how much they delay the game, they can't please everyone. There's only so much time you can sit there and polish something. Have you ever drawn a picture and thought it looked fantastic? You start adding all these extra little things and you end up ruining it? Delaying this game just so the fans will be happy is a bad idea and not to mention impractical, I'm happy with what I saw in the trailer; I thought it looked good, bottom line is they can't please everyone no matter how many delays they put on its release.

I think Duke Nukem Forever is a great example of this. They kept scrapping the game and did it over and over again until it became commercial turd. Good ideas we saw on the various trailers over the years were scrapped.

Yes, horror games are supposed to be dark, but not so fucking dark that you literally can't make out the environment, then it's just stupid. When I first got amnesia, I was having gamma issues and I literally could not see a single thing, I seriously played the first 5 or so maps by banging my face against the wall trying to find where the next hallway was and I ended up completely missing the first 5 or 6 scares because of it. That's not scary, it's just annoying.

Darkness in horror games only works when the developers utilize contrast between dark and light, when everything is dark it loses it's effect. In the prison, for example, even though for the most part it was dark there were still torches and cracks in the ceiling letting light in or some other source of light in every hallway and room. Even in ones where there wasn't any it was still acceptable because the night vision still would give you this contrast.

Jesus christ guys, stop being such fanboys, it's possible for them to release content that isn't amazing you know.

For me it was fine. Then again I calibrated my monitor for gaming. If your monitor settings are at least close how the game is intended to be played, you see where you are going to.
