RE: Amnesia Custom Story: Guide to Horror / Do's and Don't for Scaring Players - SilentStriker - 04-21-2012 When ever PDP try to play a serious CS or a serious horror game, he doesn't immerse himself and get terrified of the atmosphere he just jokes around and doesn't care about the gameplay and he only get scared by the jumpscares. He doesn't care about the games and CS's. That's why he always plays CS's with jumpscares for an example. And he have tried White Night but didn't want to play it since it were a story based CS with little to none jumpscares so he trashed it and gave up on it. So when I make a CS I don't want PDP to play it since I want a serious player to play it not someone who doesn't care about it and just want something to make a video from.

I feel like on most other forums two people caught flaming or at least arguing with each other in any form other than a good scholarly debate would be immediately moderated, regardless of what they're arguing about or who may or may not actually be right. After skimming the last few pages of posts, honestly all I could really see was people arguing and insulting each other (and also other people outside the argument). Personally, I don't really feel like the "Development Articles" section of a forum is the place to do this kind of thing, and I'm a honestly a bit surprised that it's allowed to continue in such a manor. I don't mean to back seat moderate or anything, as I don't really see myself as holding any particular kind of authority, but this kind of thing seems to have been going on for quite a while (and not just in this particular place) and I'm honestly a quite sick of it. I really don't care too much about what random people on the internet have to say about things that I already have opinions about - sure I am perfectly willing to read a differing opinion and consider it, but I'm not about to get all hot and bothered by it if it doesn't seem to match my own, and I'm certainly not about to start trying to argue with someone that I don't even know just because I don't agree to said opinion. Fine, I might not agree with a particular opinion, but I don't subscribe to the ideology that I have a duty to eradicate any all opinions differing from my own. In fact, unless it will somehow add to the diversity of ideas in some benevolent way, I generally do not even state that I have a differing opinion as such statements only tend to spiral downwards into what this thread seems to have now become. I guess I just wanted to say that I'm a bit disappointed in what this thread has turned into, and how I've seen many people on this forum act recently. ~Homicide out. RE: Amnesia Custom Story: Guide to Horror / Do's and Don't for Scaring Players - Cranky Old Man - 04-24-2012 So much text in the last two big replies. I don't have time to read most of it, so I won't reply to much of it either. I will say that we weren't "flaming". We had a "scholary debate". It's funny how the only difference between the two expressions, is if I was mad or not. The debate tied back to the topic in that if you want to make something scary, don't tailor it to suit psychopath players. Don't make your story a "murder funhouse".
