Well the game so far is nice.

As mentioned before the only annoying part is the methodology the Psychiatrist uses to awaken the memories of his patients.

It gets really dull at times when you have to replay parts of sessions with the recorder.Though,other than that the game is really worth a play.

The atmosphere of the game reminds of Silent Hill 2and so do the graphics.

I’d give it an overall 7/10.

As far as the comments on BitTorrent filesharing are concerned I believe that since the torrent users are still rapidly becoming more around the world,the companies should encourage it and try to take advantage of it (Imagine each seed connected to you for the price of 0,15 $/seed for instance.The companies wouldnt even need to buy or manufacture DVDs/boxes/leaflets for the games so they would cut down on cost, time (=cost) and would also allow you to legally buy via the internet,without getting out of home,driving etc…)

I also believe that this way it could be easier to prohibit the minors downloading “explicit”, “violent” or in any form, inappropriate material.

Actually every company should use this method.They could finally earn their living honestly,without riping off customers and with proper web control they could be able to set the term piracy obsolete.

Capitalism has made it this way ~Old fashioned fascism will take it away.

Having tried the demo, I’m genuinely impressed. Not so much with the game itself, but with the fact that the designers have done everything they can to waste as little of your time as possible.

As soon as you click on the game icon, you can literally start from where you left off, you don’t even need to see so much as a menu screen.

Moving between locations is instantaneous, and on the few occasions it isn’t you can double click to run and get there faster

Any scenes or sequences can be bypassed with a simple double tap of the escape key, even if it’s something as simple as a fixed camera pan.

More games need to be designed like this, with the intention of avoiding any unnecessary frustration and just letting you play the game.

The narrative and dialogue seem interesting so far too, so I think I’m probably going to have to pick this one up.

I welcome the invitation to “probe their deranged minds”. Far too few games allow you to do this.

I got the game as soon as it came out, mainly because I loved TMoS. I enjoyed it enough to play through it, thanks to the compelling storyline and unique narration.
I also found myself annoyed by some things, but those mainly due to me not really liking Adventure Games anymore. I feel like I’m wasting a fucking lot of time playing them, and I probably am wasting it to because I am retarded when it comes to solving the puzzles.
Especially triggering memories with the voice recorder was becoming trial & error at some point which really annoyed me.
Still, I can only recommend it to any Adventure Gamer, I just didn’t love it as much as TMoS.

Amazingly no one from Just Adventure has appeared to tell me they hate me.

IM RE-RAILING THESE COMMENTS NOW….

But seriously I always wanted to play a psychiatrist again, ever since 7 Days a Skeptic, hopefully this time round my patients wont be killed off by an evil space ghost (still sounds dumb now).

Hang on… technically Rasputin counted as a psychiatrist didn’t he?

Yes, I probably should have added that Blizzard’s system is a giant pile of shit.

Blizzard’s proprietary bit torrent patching system also has the virtue of not working under anything but perfect conditions. Not to mention that its streamlined lack of an options menu removes any risk of a competent user tricking it into functionality.

Please, no more of that kind of shit. Give me a proper .torrent file or don’t bother.

I admit, it is less ironic than absurd. The essential joke was about the Röhm Putsch, but contrary to normal uses of Godwin, the connection I established was not there to make an educated point about the sexual orientation of torrent users, but rather far fetched and senselessly provocative. Delete away if you want.

I say we take off and nuke the entire comments section from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

Hitler brainwashed tens of million people
Blizzard brainwashed ten of million people
Hitler invaded Poland
Blizzard invaded South Korea
