Wow this is the only Amnesia that sucks balls

[Shekelstein]

Who thought it would be exciting having to cower every ten steps waiting for that ♥♥♥♥♥♥ to leave or to constantly run back and forth between THE SINGLE OLY SAVE POINT IN THE GAME and wherever you want to go? Because if you die have fun doing everything you just did in the last 10-15 minutes again!

I LOVED all other Amnesia games but this is ridiculous

[sneaky-G]

I am playing it now and its irritating TBH. I remember loving Dark Descent but that was when it launched. I never played the others though.

Alien Isolation is in my top 10-15 games of all time so i don't mind the hunt by an unstoppable creature. But wow this ♥♥♥♥ is annoying. The gameplay itself is tedious. I opened the emergency lockdown and now its an item hunt that seems to be going nowhere while my generator is running down.

In the custom difficulty settings, you can select "Save in all sub-levels".

The most significant disadvantage of the game is the idiotic, absolutely implausible behavior of the monster. If instead of one cheating monster, there would be two or three monsters with honest behavior, without being tied to the player, it would be much more interesting to play.

Nah, Rebirth is the sucky one

I wouldn't say the only one, but this one is definitely getting a pass by the community for some reason.

While i commend devs for trying something new, it simply did not work out as well and it's for sure not an Amnesia game. I guess they slapped the name on and added some ghoul juice in the mix to explain how this game has something to do with the previous entries... just so it can sell better. This was such a missed opportunity to make a new IP.

I like comparing this to Alien: Isolation as both games rely on an invincible big bad guy on a map with tight spaces. Thing is, Alien worked 1000% better for various reasons that would take too long to explain and read. Bottom line is The Bunker tried a similar formula but fell short in every regard.

I would rather have an excellent 3-4hrs experience than 1-2 good and the rest being slop.

All the explanation needed is if you've played Rebirth, then it is plain to see why it is so ♥♥♥♥

Inaccurate. I have played each of them, and, while the start is pretty weak, the rest of Rebirth is fine.

and you BETTER be hidden in an actual marked hiding spot because if your not, it will conveniently find you no matter where you are or how quiet you were.

Speak for yourselves, this one is my favorite. It has the most compelling gameplay, and an AI to struggle against.

Look, nobody is saying you specifically can't like pizza hut, right? But if you claim pizza hut is better than a pizza baked by an actual italian chef in a classic and traditional way, then you just have to accept you objectively have bad taste/low standards. I don't think i have to spell it out but The Bunker is definitely the american pizza.

What are you on about? Bunker outpizzas the hut in many ways. Its a short proof of concept (The map is really tiny when you think about it) but it gets a lot done and the monster is pretty fun to go up against despite being simple in concept. You mention that this game falls short of Alien Isolation in many ways, but cmon, this is an indie game and Isolation is based off a multi million $$$ iconic IP. Which one do you think will get the most budget and manpower for? Besides, the monster not being the most complex in AI isn't really an issue when there's many ways of making it more engaging without pouring in a million resources into learning behaviours. Stuff like just adding more different enemy types or making the puzzles more difficult and into more of SH/RE fashion riddles to keep the game fresh. Mr X from RE2 Remake was an effective, yet extremely simple monster that literally just walks towards you and he more or less replaced Nemesis in being the iconic stalker guy despite being simpler than Bunker Beast and Alien.

After a couple of hours into it I quit.
Not enjoyable at all.
The exploration and fear factor kept me interested in the very beggining but after seeing how the monster behave and the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ rats I just had enough.

If you don`t like the behaviour of the beast with literally the most customisable AI settings in the series then it is your fault for not modifying to a level which you find enjoyable.

The monster is always tied to the player, it can't be fixed by any settings, and it sucks.
