Shattered Memories not having combat is one of its biggest failings. I'm sorry, but it's a major reason I hate Penumbra and (especially) Amnesia, too. When I'm helpless, I don't get scared. I get angry -- "wtf why can't i kill you leave me the fuck alone gtfo afsfaspfaosfpasfopf *POWER BUTTON*"

Seriously why does my guy have to be such a big blubbering baby that he can't even defend himself with like a plank of wood? What kind of weaksauce fuckass loser is he?

In Amnesia in particular, I don't think it's so much "your guy is a blubbering loser" as it is "the other guys are invincible Lovecraftian horrors". (The short story collection that came with the patch for Amnesia had a part where one of the monsters is shot -- with a gun -- and just walks away, and you can throw shit at them to slow them down if you're feeling brave.)

Also the Brute can slice you in half so welp......

A fluff explanation for why the weapons are useless doesn't make me feel any better. Especially when said invincible Lovecraftian horrors look this fucking stupid (http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee367/Ch1kara/800px-AmnesiaServent.jpg).

Well, I'm the opposite of you and found the lack of combat made the game infinitely better (and didn't mind the Grunt and Brute's appearances because they're terrifying enough in context and you're not supposed to see them up close unless you are about to be murdered) so whatever v('_')v

This game sounds interesting...

I liked the game, but I can never understand it when I see people being really frightened by it. Knowing that I would never run into a monster outside of the handful of chase sequences made me feel totally at ease.

(Anonymous) 2012-05-07 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
Most of them only become chase sequences if you're not very good at hiding!

Going into the game unspoilered would most likely have helped too.
