lol.

Is this suppose to me a mock or something? Pigs? Swine? Now a defenseless soul is running away from a man made "pig" hunter?

Just finishing up the first one now. It's definitely one of the more interesting games I've played, and did a surprisingly good job of scaring the hell out of me at a few parts - massive shivers up the spine. During a couple 1-2 hour sessions I noticed I was pretty damn tense when I shut the game off.

Thought it was letting up a bit.. then I got to the choir room :eek:

Looking forward to this.

Oh it is Amnesia...everything is metaphorical. Never played the first but it looked scary enough.

I definitely wanted to play the first one, but I got too sucked in and it freaked me out. I am glad to have supported the developers, even if I only got an hour out of it. I think I spent more time reading and talking about the game than actually playing it. Because, holy nonsense it messed with me.

I think the other thing that got me, was that I felt a little lost, I wasn't really sure what I was supposed to be doing.

How does the first one play with a gamepad?

It doesn't have gamepad support. I'm not sure how a gamepad would even work, given how you interact with things in the game (dragging the mouse to open doors, pick up objects, etc, etc).

Amnesia was definitely amazing. One of my favorite horror games ever. When A Machine for Pigs is available for pre-order I'm definitely buying it.

I thought Company of Heroes 2 was cancelled? The company behind it went belly up.

No? Relic is still in business, and they're still working on CoH 2 like normal. Their publisher (THQ) went bankrupt but they were acquired by Sega so all is good.

That us exactly what happened to me. In was freaked out by the first 2 hours or so that I got in. Which means the game succeeded in what it intended to do. I have a problem with the atmosphere in these games, but it's a good thing cos it's supposed to be that way. The same happened to me with penumbra as well. More fn with video walkthroughs though, especially Day9s. So I'll he looking forward to it too.

I liked the first two Penumbra games and the first Amnesia so I’ll definitely be looking at this one.

I tried Amnesia and it did a pretty good job at making a creepy place, but I thought the story element was too weak that I just didn't feel compelled to go on. I only made it like an hour or two in I think and lost interest. I don't think the environment alone is enough to make me curious.

I hated Amnesia, way too dark and fuzzy. I'd play for an hour and have a terrific headache. I didn't find it scary either, which is fine.

Were the lights off?

Graphics were a bit meh I agree, but that let imagination fill in some blanks which kinda made it more scary IMO.

Amnesia scared me more than any other game that I can remember, but I did give in to the suspension of disbelief and felt like I was actually walking down those halls completely vulnerable to the evil bastards roaming around.


May have to replay before I get into the new release.

So... has anyone played it yet?

I haven't booted it up quite yet, but I plan on getting into it very soon. I'm expecting lots of milky ways.

Apparently, from reviews, it won't scare us pant-less, but will give us a horrifying experience woven through atmosphere and story.

The "scare you pant-less" trophy has been handed over to Outlast it would seem.
