First off, I want to thank you, Steak, for pointing me in the direction of SlimDrivers. I've been looking for something like that for my laptop that I didn't have to pay for.SteakHeart said:
On topic, my feelings towards A:AMFP are pretty simple. If it's basically just Amnesia with new environments and monsters, I'll like it. Not as much as Amnesia: The Dark Descent, but I'll still enjoy it. If, instead, it has improved on Amnesia or if the story manages to be brilliant in some particular fashion--as story can captivate me no matter what (almost) if done right--then I'll love it.
However, the fact that it's the Dear Esther guys doing the development, admittedly, makes me frown. I didn't like Dear Esther and that surprised me; I tried to like it with every fiber of my being and just couldn't do it. Given that I enjoy cryptic, story-focused games and that's what Dear Esther set out to be with its heart and soul, the fact that it left me feeling mildly angry that I'd wasted my time with it was not a good sign. Especially since I'd never felt that way towards ANY game before, ever. Perhaps because no game ever came so close to my heart while still missing by miles.
Still, I don't think it means that this will be bad or that the Dear Esther guys are inherently bad. It's just that their reputation is, in my eyes, stained. Perhaps they'll convince me to forgive and forget if they do this well.
