Thoughts on A:AMFP

[Fortigurn]

Bluel0bster makes a very good point and I don't think you're quite getting it. In real life you can pick up a note and read it, you can look through your journal (if you have one.)

You can, but that's not what Amnesia TDD or MFP shows. They show something completely different; Far Cry 2 does it realistically, in a manner which preserves immersion, but the Amnesia games do not. That's the point. The note reading mechanic in the Amnesia games is no more realistic or less immersion breaking than the inventory mechanic.

You can't bring up your inventory which displays information about how your current health and sanity status is in meticulous little boxes.

I agree, but the game does provide seamless information on your health (movement rate, blurred vision), and sanity (insanity effects), without breaking immersion, and I agree with the other poster who said the inventory screen is at least akin to looking in a rucksack.
