  1. Yeah, I just want people to understand that the game relies heavily on immersion and when the immersion fails then everything fails. I think if they just did it dead simple with you going around with nothing but a flashlight while stuff happened around you, that would be a ton more effective. I felt they just tried too hard.

     

    So Doom 3.

     

    Amnesia is amazing as it is, it has been named the best horror game of all time by many different gaming sites. Even Yahtzee loved it.

     

    Every gameplay mechanic served the story and the characterization, wanting enough tinderboxes to fuck around in an area with plenty of light for as long as you like destroys the pacing of the game and lessens the horror element. The developers are true horror veterans, they know what makes a good horror game and they outdid themselves with Amnesia. The way you want the game would have left you with a totally different game altogether, one that wouldn't have become the huge indie hit that Amnesia was.

     

    Having to choose between using up your resources to create light or not using any and slowly going insane was a mechanic designed to build tension, which is did very well. The sound design kept you on the edge of your seat almost all the time and I doubt you got past the first monster encounter without getting frightened if you followed the instructions on startup.

     

    And despite you saying that the lack of weapons wasn't what annoyed you, that was all of your earlier complaints against the game.
