You personally know Terry Pratchett? Or just someone who steals quotes from him?

I've never read Terry Pratchett and he is quite clever, so I just assumed he made it up.

Did anyone notice how much people hate THQ's new logo, and now look at what they've gone and did.

Aside from the silly boxart, and onto an off topic question. How many of you are still going to buy the physical copy?

RE: The North American box art is terrible

I'm very tempted to do so, in case something were to happen to the version I have on my laptop. Should I have enough money and if I start seeing it at the local stores I think I'll eventually buy it, shitty box art or not :1

I bought mine over steam but if it rears it's head in the UK I would consider buying a physical copy. Though I'll probably try to print off a different cover for it Confused

Thet just looks bad. They should've gone for something like the Russian cover if they wanted a more dramatic and eye-catching cover than the original black one with the rose.

Amnesia worked so well because players felt like they were facing something so much more powerful than themselves, something unthinkable. Our irrational fears and impulses created these unrealistic images of what we thought we were running from, to the point where we were really running from our worst nightmares. Mystery was what made Amnesia so successful, and by exposing the creature so clearly on the front cover, they're contradicting everything that worked so well within the game.

Just please, stop talking right now.

You are only simply embarrassing yourself. I had no idea somebody could be both so incredibly dense as well as filled with such blind nationalistic pride, that it prevents them from forming rational thought, free of childish stereotype.
