If you had to pick one: Outlast or Amesia: Machine for Pigs?

Defiantly Outlast, I've been playing it on My channel & its brilliant & scary. I do have intentions on playing A machine for Pigs though!

Outlast for sure. No need to explain.

For now I say Outlast. I just finished it. it's very scary. Plus it's the first horror game to make me scream.

I'll play AMFP next and then I'll compare it to Outlast

I got myself Outlast, its scary and I love it so far.

I say both of them are creepy/scary games but after watching both...I would say Outlast because Outlast is alot scarier.

From what I can tell from watching Markiplier play AAMFP (because he's REDICULOUSLY far into the game), the main character, Oswald Mandus, is the great nephew (something like that) of either Daniel or Alexander (my bet is on Daniel) and is betrayed by the "machine", which is apparently alive, just as Daniel is betrayed by Alexander. The monsters have turned into half-men half-pigs, of course. (Your lantern flickers when you're near a monster.) Not to mention the AAMFP takes place in 1899, a good 40 years or so after the first game.

So there are several connections between the first game and this new game. I'm certainly enjoying it, and even though not everything is extrusively scaru, it's certainly intrusively scary.

Honestly, so far I am not that much impressed by Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs. Outlast had so much more to dive into. And I am not saying stuff like. "Outlast graphics are way better!" It is the whole atmosphere, the tricky way of implementing the camera and finding new events to get notes from. The amount of characters inside the game and the background stories of each the patients.

Sure the hiding mechanics in Amnesia The dark descent were similar, but that is just compromised in Amnesia a machine for pigs. You have no inventory, which means you can only carry 1 item at a time. I guess they wanted to emerge the player more into the whole setting and I am fine with that.
Overall they took so many things from the game, which made it known for. Sitting in the dark with no light would enhance your view, refilling your lantern was essential, you'd even explore to find tinderboxes to light up places so you wouldn't get insane and you could carry so many items around... Now all you can do is like... Throw a chair or a pig In Penumbra they even had these physic riddles where you had to place planks in a certain way etc. And why make the game easier by simply deleting enemies after death? Why?

I guess it is the influence of TheChineseRoom since Dear Esther was also just a lot of taking a walk around an island and exploring with an emphasis on story. But I gotta say.. The Story so far is not as interesting as Outlast. (I've currently reached the sewers)

I hope it is building up to something like the previous games did... So for me right now: Outlast's Chris Walker rips "the little pig" into pieces.

After watching both Outlast and AMFP videos, I choose Outlast.
Don't really want to give out spoilers. The reason I chose Outlast is because AMFP don't have that much horror material as dark descent. Not saying that it's horrible but it's just not as great as I thought it would be. I enjoy the plot though.

I probably would be able to choose

I'm basing my opinion on what I've watched. Outlast is a different game and is original, really detailed game. My only complaint for it is it has the same ol' puzzle mechanics. xD The chasing scenes are cool though, the enemies are a little bit stupid though. Haven't seen an enemy go check your hiding spot at all.

Amnesia: Machinery of pig is like a heavy-modded amnesia. But it's a lot better though. I haven't really seen the pig that will be chasing you but I did see the cages. They don't really look that scary. They're like Duke Nukem's pigs. Atmoshpere is great though. I guess if you're a big fan of the franchise, you'll just get thrilled for the game.

Both are great games.

So far outlast has been much more scary.
Amnesia is good but I have only played 1 hour so far.

It really depends on your taste

I can't pick one over the other. They go for completely different styles of horror. One is over the top and in your face while another is far more subtle and psychological. Outlast is great for that instant jumpscare and screaming type of horror fix but AMFP is more about tension building and getting lost in an atmosphere and story

I say both for different moods.

Amnesia, I don't know, it might be becouse I haven't played it myself, but Outlast doesn't seem that fun to me (but I might be wrong x) )

I'd personally have to say Outlast for the gameplay, but Amnesia for the storyline. Overall, I'm more impressed with Outlast, mainly because I didn't hype that game up nearly as much as Amnesia.

I've watched PewDiePie play both. And from what I've seen from both of them so far, Outlast is way better in my opinion.

I'm going to go with Outlast.

The game is a whole lot scarier, unlike Amnesia Outlast, for me, made me scared throughout the entire game. It makes you fear the next moment, because you don't actually know what the heck's going to happen. Sometimes the game scares you, but sometimes it gets you all worked up.. Then confused, because nothing happened. I find that Amnesia is ALWAYS the same scare. But that's just my opinion so w/e.

Amnesia I think.
Why?
Maybe Outlast is more scary, but Amnesia has much better atmosphere. I don't want to talk about plot, because I don't really understand this in any of these games

A Machine For Pigs is better plot wise. It's a shame Pewds didn't read notes, because that's what makes this game kind-of-scary. When you don't read notes, you simply don't realize that something that happened 5 seconds or a minute after picking up a note was supposed to be scary. And that's really all. AMFP isn't scary, monsters are just funny. They're not really scary.

While Outlast. Oh. My. God. You don't need to read confidential* stuff to find it scary. It just is. I don't think I need to tell you why it is scary, people above me already explained it.

So AMFP has better plot, but Outlast is waaaaaaaaay scarier. Maybe it's because I expected a lot from the new Amnesia, and when I finished it I felt like they didn't stand to the peoples expectations.

* NOT ANYMORE

Amnesia, hands down.

Outlast was probably scarier, but the atmosphere in Amnesia is incredible. I love the 19th century gothic feel, more so than the 21st century deviant atmosphere of Outlast.

Prior to playing Outlast I would always side with amnesia due to my love for the original. However... I just started my Let's Play of outlast and... mehhhh... its worse than I thought (in a good way). Only like 13 minutes in I'm screaming!!! So far it is much scarier than Amnesia... I still love amnesia but outlast is breaking me very quickly!
