Am I the only one who hates Daniel (from Amnesia) with a passion?

[Blightmare]

I've only played for about an hour so I got no opinion there. I will say one thing though. dude's fucking unstable.

[Obsidian]

I just hate how fucking weak he is. For crying out loud, the man lacks the upper body strength of a five year old child. Plus his contacts are far too loose if they pop out when he loses some sanity.

[Alyxx Thorne]

Yeah, Danny's a pussy, no offense.

[Obsidian]

And Justine is, well... Bill would just edit my choice of word out, so I won't even bother

[Axeldeath]

I find the game scarier because the protagonist has my name. Sorta 4th wall breaking when you hear Alexander say "Daniel? What are you doing"... D:

[Obsidian]

Ah, that would make a game scarier... it'd be even scarier if other games randomly called you by your real name outside of coincidence. In most games that let you name your character, it doesn't really change anything, since no one else will ever say your name (except for Star Ocean 3 and 4, where the names will be spoken if they match the script names...)

[Kirkreng]

What are the odds of any game calling me Mathias?

[Blightmare]

I still remember Bioshock. "Would you kindly head to Ryan's office and kill the son of a bitch?" to which I replied "Well excuse me, princess."

[J.C.]

Yeah, Danny's a pussy, no offense.

Yeah. I really don't understand why can't he grab a crowbar or something and fight the zombies. They are corpses, for heaven's sake. Dead, rotting corpses. Not the strongest of opponents.

 

Actually, I think I've been so desensitized by modern movies, games and news, that if a zombie apocalypse occurred, I would grab a shovel and start lobotomizing ghouls in a second. Yeah, I'm hardcore that way!

 

Not really... I would probably sit in a corner and cry.

[Scorpia]

that's the main fear device; your character can't find back. he can only cower and run.

[Kirkreng]

I love Daniel's voice actor though, he can read stories to me anytime.

 

Edit: That sounded a lot gayer than I intended it to sound

[Scorpia]

Happens to me all the time.

 

but yea, Daniel's voice actor is pretty alluring.(a term i suggest you use next time Kirk. )

[Alyxx Thorne]

that's the main fear device; your character can't find back. he can only cower and run.

To me that's just annoying. It's not really scary, just irritating.

[Scorpia]

especially annoying when you're not easy to scare.

 

there's another game i played where they did that too, i just can't think of it for the life of me. ;/

[Jek Jek Roo]

I got a question... It's a stupid one, but I out of ideas how to find out what does the word "accursed" means. I couldn't find it in my dictionary and Google Translate doesn't want to translate it.

Help!

[Scorpia]

sure.

 

accursed:

1. Abominable; hateful:

sentence: you accursed man!!

 

(Ross is using this definition)

2. Being under a curse; doomed.

sentence: this accursed place!

[Kirkreng]

So what's the curse of this farm anyways?

[Scorpia]

you can never leave?

 

i don't know, Ross said it gives the site an edgier, uneasy feel.

[Blightmare]

I feel quite at ease here, though. Very comfortable.
