Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 1

[xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I see everyone saying yes Call of Cthulhu is great...

I played it the start was kinda strange hmmm I'm locked lets explore,
hmm a scary basement lets explore (in his flashback/vision)

Then when you get to downer-vile you have to talk to grumpy downers and
walking past police man who have a compass in his brain with you as
pole.

Of course he'd explore the basement. He's a police detective tasked with raiding the house of a violent cult. While he certainly shouldn't have gone down there alone, it at least makes a lot more sense for him to explore a potentially dangerous area than it does for most horror game protagonists

As for the villagers, as the story progresses it gradually becomes clearer why they are acting so strangely... it's actually very well done in terms of story telling.
In fact the only two downsides to the game, for me, were its tremendous amount of bugs (some of them making levels almost un-playable) and the fact that it becomes a bit too action-heavy towards the end. Some sections also require a lot of trial and error which, for me, is a no-no in a horror game Other than that I'd recommend you give the game another chance.
