Anyone had this happen??
Damn thing stood behind me growling for at least a minute. Got up the courage to turn around and look at it (and, like any good tourist, take a photo!), then I tried to back away a little, further into a dark corner, but it came out of it's freaky trance and saw me

Everyone talks about this game. I assume you can die, or it wouldn't be scary. What exactly do you do? Run around, take screenshots, and try not to die?
|
lol, i remember my first time playing amnesia i managed to find some glitchy spots by running from the gatherers and hiding in a corner that wasn't far enough from where i was spotted. they ended up slashing at me but it'd never register a hit so the entire time i'd be facing a corner getting hit nonstop while invulnerable.
let's just say it took all my courage to turn around and watch it hit my face.

Yes you can die, what makes it scary (imo) is the tension of it being so goddamn dark and these bloody things could appear anywhere... then you've just gotta crouch down in the dark and hope they don't see you. I didn't know what the hell this one was doing behind me, and I really didn't wanna turn around and look
If they see you they kill you in two hits.

What makes it worse is that you can't kill the enemies, you can only run and hide or die.
Scariest game ever, but the story line is amazing.

The picture won't load for me. =(
I'd definitely play through Amnesia, but I like being able to sleep at night and walk downstairs at 3am without shitting myself.

Oh boo to the picture not loading I'll find somewhere else to host it...

I once hide in a corner and it just stood there waiting for so fucking long... I decided to run for it, actually managed also without any damage, they are pretty slow if you aren't looking at them, then they get really fast lol..
It was pretty much same for me as for the op, I think if you hide without any protection and just crouch and look at the corner or is in it's path it wont disappear.

I think you shouldnt turn around like you did and just look at the wall and just run! :D

A friend of mine were fighting the monster on his stream, only having a barrel between him and the monster, and had it blocked in a choke between 2 bookshelves. Wasn't on his first playthrough though, so he's sort of ok with the scary stuff X_X.
Was looking pretty sick, although I think the video of it is gone from own3d.tv

lol, so there might be something to day9's fort method?
I always want to try throwing something at them and seeing what happens, but I never seem to have anything handy...

Have only seen small parts of Day9s playthrough, but I don't think you can keep it off if it has the possibility of going around the barrel and eating your face. It was only because of the small choke. I asked my friend it's possible to find it. If I can I will post it, but I doubt it

I'm guessing it's like sentry force fields. So Protosses should have an advantage in this game right?

I read somewhere that the ai was made to pass the player as close as possible, it's to increase the scariness

That happened to me too! I was just cowering in a corner and i could here it right next to me for several minutes! It wouldnt leave so eventually i turned to look at it and it killed me

Best. Comment. In. Thread.
You can throw stuff to stun them, but it's not a great plan unless you know where you are gonna run to in that time.
