I love a lot of the chanegs they made. Especially no more oil in the lantern or tinderboxes and no inventory etc. they all bogged down the gameplay with too much tedium and instead of adding tension they got annoying

I liked all those things. They were put their on purposes to slow down the gameplay. Honestly, if lantern wasn't an issue you could easily beat the game in less than two hours. Its very short.It was redundant. Light stopped you going insane, yet if the lantern ran out the insanity was just a noise and screen effect. nothing major. You can complete tge entire game without with or without the lantern. Plus there's still a lantern in some parts, you just don't need to fill with oil cos it's modern age electricity times. Now you can't save up all your oil or tinderboxes and make light wherever you want. If you're in darkness you're stuck in darkness basically.
You don't need a finnicky inventory to slow things down, all you need is some well placed horror scenarios and monsters .
Hmm, some of those things did put me off the first game. The fact that monsters seemingly vanished at times didn't sit well with me either. But damn was it scary. I'm still 50/50 on this, but I guess I could always use a horror title to play. Plus, I loved running past monsters and being chased when the 'proper' way was to wait it out, haha. Decent price too, and I might as well pre-order along with Rome 2.
