Lets be honest, after you play amnesia, nothing is enough to scare you

[QUOTE="archvile_78"]

[QUOTE="lightleggy"] is not cheap at all...its great because the developers manage to read what your reaction will be when you see the monster...I take for granted you havent played amnesia or have not even seen it...if thats the case you cant discuss about this game...not until you try it and realize there is nothing cheap about the scares in amnesia...that part which I described there specially blows up your gutslightleggy

I'm not calling every scare in amnesia "cheap" im calling this particular one cheap, you probably didn't played lots of horror games because this whole "turn around, something pop in your face to surprise you" have been done oftentimes. Don't get me wrong i saw a gameplay video on youtube uploaded by the game company themselve and i won't deny, the game is extremely atmospheric from what i've witnessed.

Of course the experience varies from players to players, to me this particular moment you had was just a cheap attempt at "scaring" the player.

I have actually played quite a few "horror" games I call them "horror" because I rarely gets scared...that particular scare in amnesia is not a cheap one because..,you see the monster walking at the far end of the hallway, and from what it looks like ,the monster doesnt see you...you wont get this if you dont play the game but everytime you have a monster nearby your heart just stops...and in this part, the monsters runs from side to side really fast so you can actually only see a blurry figure running...so you open the door at your left, its a cell door (the doors in amnesia are opened 100% manually...you may leave a door half open or at any angle you want) and you enter the cell, the cell only has 1 way to enter and thats the door you just used, so when you enter the cell its completly empty and you say "phew..." and close the door...when you look back, the monster somehow got inside the cell and now you are trapped in a room with the monster...you get extremely tense and your heart pumps really fast...seriously you wont understand if you dont play the game

Ahhh now thats better explained. See, when i quoted you first, i thought you meant you turned around and blam, the monster appeared in front of your face like in pretty much every single damn "horror" movies these days.

So basically its a simple misreading error by myself, i apologize.

If you're scared by a game, you've never faced danger in real life.

[QUOTE="themyth01"] When's the PS3 port coming out? lightleggy

Actually

"However, that doesn't mean that Frictional doesn't have aspirations to bring Amnesia to consoles. The studio is currently working out a deal with a third-party to port the title to consoles, though no other information on the effort was disclosed."

From this link. Of course if im to experience the game it will give me a good reason to upgrade my gfx card and memory.

I was really getting into the game until I got to a point where I had to put 3 type of rods into something and I only had 1. It's only about 2 hours into the game, and I swear I searched every corner I could and I still could't find even 1 more. So I just gave up.gregbmil

I played Amnesia and I was trying to bunnyhop and how to not just constantly die every 5 seconds. ALso too many puzzles I got bored. I wasn't really scared, I just kept trying to throw stuff at people, which I couldn't find.JigglyWiggly_

dont worry...heres a vid with a few scares...although its not my favorite (my favorite got deleted for some reason) which contained the part I was talking about http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDDcFKqqK0Q

one of the creepiest levels kinda i played this gen was the school level on f.e.a.r 2#.

Well, Tagy does have around a dozen children running around the house at all times.No friends though :(

What....What?! :x

I'm about 3/4 through the game and so far only one part had me on edge.

***SPOILER***

Soon after you reactivate the elevator and you encounter the two monsters. There's no way you cant sneak by them and your forced to run past them while they chase you down. It's hard not to look back when your so close to being killed. But the prison area did have it's moments too. The game is very atmospheric but the scares are limited at this point.

Silent Hill 3 :roll:

Luxen90

i'm not that scared of a video game anymore.

i was so scared of the very first Silent Hill when i played it though....when i was 8 years old.

your friend might be scared prolly because he was young than 12. lol.

I disagree. Even though its the scariest thing I've ever played/seen/heard/ect, nothing makes me crawl up in the feetle position and cry for mommy than needles.

I hate needles and dread getting shots. You can only take getting shots in your nerves so much.

I want more games that go from a gradual change of normal to screwed up.

Call of the Cthulhu kind of got it at the beginning.

You enter a town looking for someone and the people seem to be unfriendly and weird but nothing too out of the ordinary.

You experience events that slowly convince you something is not right.

But they may have went a little too fast by jumping right to the hotel chase scene.

The later parts of the game were not as good mainly because it becomes another shooter.

.

I want a game where you feel right at home with.

Like the main character having a normal life in some small village and experiencing strange things going on like missing people.

Atmosphere is one of the most important things in survival horror games and connecting with the player is very important.

.

I always thought the second Jeepers Creepers movie would make a good online multiplayer survival horror game.

You have to work in a group to survive against the bat monster thing.

.

The first Jeepers Creepers had a good creepy setting with the country town too.

The location in the game is important because the atmosphere is better when the setting is convincing.

Minor details are important.

The creaking of the floor, the squeaking sound of a unhinged metal sign or the sound of the wind.

Can't help but wonder if people are hyping Amnesia to be MUCH more than it really is...

Can't get any more than "Absolutely f***ing scary." Let the game actually immerse you and its by far the scariest game out there. Of course this is all opinion but if you don't let games like this "immerse" you, then the true feeling of the game is never established.

Play fatal frame or siren those games are scary.johny300

I always play those kind of games in the right conditions(in the dark,with headphones and alone),PZ games have some unsettling moments but to be honest,the scariest parts of those games were the terrible controls they have and the way the fixed cameras is used to give you cheap scares. :P

But don´t get me wrong,I like them,I just don´t find them very scary.

I wasn't too scared of anything after Siren. If there's a PS3 port, I'll try it out. It sounds like it'd be scary for similar reasons.

Silent Hill 3 :roll:

I'm agree, this game has such and incredible atmosphere, it was damn impressive for it's time, scarier than Amensia, maybe not, but i don't think it's a fair comparision.

Anyway, i have to admit, i'm a little intimidated by Amnesia, if i ever buy it, i think i may not play it at all, it truly seems scary.

What....What?! :x

I heard that from a very reliable source! :)

I haven't played since I got downstairs, I'm almost too scared to. Even so nothing has scared me since then, no movie that was supposedly scary or creepy has been too much to handle. I love it, thank you Amnesia! :P

The game is really great, but, it really didn't scare me as much as people say it did them.

It's still impressive even in these times. SH3's atmosphere, sounds, graphics, environments, etc all hold up well by today's standards in my opinion. What an amazing ****ing game that was. WAY a head of it's time.

Personally this game needs more tactical nukes, airstrikes, and super fast running with care packages.

Tried the demo some time ago....I am definitely not getting this game.

I think the 200k sales (when it could possibly be more) is because its damn too scary.

I disagree...

I think Amnesia is a scary game, but it didn't scare me as much as Silent Hill 3. The manikin scene made me truly frightened to play that game

Man...the demo isn't even scary >_>

I was actually wondering if the game was a good buy after playing the demo. The final game is much more scary and unsettling.

Another thing about Amnesia is: it looks like a game where unless I'm told to do things I would never know I could. Like in a video the guy moves a table in front of the door and hides in a closet. I'm afriad that I wouldn't know you could do certain things and would die. I hate games where it's like real life b/c I always find stuff that you can't do, and then I get confused. I never really know what you can't or can do in games like that.DudeNtheRoom

You figure these things out when you get scared in the game :P Your natural instincts kick in
