AMY: Putting the Horrible in Survival Horror

Watch more Amy gaming at / oboeshoesgames
Normally I am a big proponent of game preservation efforts, but I sincerely wish Amy wasn't still for sale on the Xbox marketplace so I could have avoided playing it. That sentence could use another draft or two but its not gonna get one cuz this game doesn't deserve it.
Here is the link to the full playthrough if you hate yourself enough to watch it: • AMY: The Worst Game Yo...

You have to think in the mindset of the developers. Most French flee from combat, which gives the chance of any bites or scratches to infect them.

The 360 marketplace is shutting down which means Amy will soon no longer be able to be bought, which almost counter-balances the blow to game preservation such a shutdown has.

I vaguely recall this game getting hyped up before its release and everyone saying "oh man its gonna be so awesome, you get to explore this relationship and stuff". I think Yahtzee described it as "the worst part of any game extended to a whole game" or something like that. The Last of Us then released and promptly wiped any memory of this game from history.

[@aceo3773]

I think the timeline is a little bit off.... Amy and Last of Us have almost a year and a half between their release dates... Personally I don't remember any of the hype for the game but it was 2011/2012... I was probably playing either Halo, Cod, or Battlefield tbh XD

[@jakitron890]

Yahtzee named it the worst game of the decade, lol

[@HisLordsh1p]

@@aceo3773 Yeah the game was already forgettable enough as it was, I just think it's funny that The Last of Us basically did the same thing a year and a half later but better and completely deleted it from reality.

The network was on the way out at the time if I recall correct so they were basically trying to just get anything and everything about gaming on there.
