mkreku Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 I finally looked at the trailer. It looks good, but I wonder what Dreamfall will me like the most: Tombraider or The Longest Journey?

WITHTEETH Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 (edited) I'm going to skip the trailer so not to ruin any surpise. I just beat Longest jounery over winter break. It was an awesome game. Edited February 9, 2006 by WITHTEETH Always outnumbered, never out gunned! Unreal Tournament 2004 Handle:Enlight_2.0 Myspace Website!

Morgoth Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 (edited) Now I just arrived in Marcuria. It definitely starts growing on me now.... Man, I hope I get back to Stark, this Metro Circle and Cyberpunk look was awesome! And this Monkey-toy-Freddie puzzle was the most hilarious thing ever seen in a video game! I guess Dreamfall is now on my shopping list too... There just ain't so much games around these days that offer so fantastically crafted worlds and characters! Edit: But those crashes keep coming and coming. I've the 2 CD Version with the latest Patch, is there no way to get rid of these crashes?

Atreides Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Try running it under compatibility mode (Win 98 or something). I'm dl'ing the trailer but I"m a little apprehensive. TLJ had absolutely beautiful backgrounds and I'm afraid that going fps might make that type of quality difficult to achieve. I'll chip in with my thoughts after watching the trailer.

I don't think Zoe would fight at all...but April..she changed, maybe she will fight a little too, but she will work out other possibilities...I think this will be magic, and of course the normal item-combinations as by any adv. game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maia Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 (edited) I have just tried the demo of "The Longest Journey". Does it really end with the ship sinking or was it some bug? In any case, quite interesting. I might pick it up. Hopefully, the German translation isn't too terrible. Edited February 10, 2006 by maia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgoth Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 That Win98 compatibility trick did the job! Never thought of it to try it out, because it never, really never worked in other games.... but this one. Typical. I just played now 3 hours in on piece without a crash.... awesome! And what was that gruesome scene in the toilet??? I really felt pity for that guy...."I'm sitting on the can! Leave me!!!" :D Hehe, but it was a hell of fun. Humor of that kind is just too rare in most video games. Rain makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaftan Barlast Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 (edited) April can be a bit annoying but its one of my favorite Adventure games. Ill definently have Dreamfall on pre-order But a question, did anyone actually figure out the rubber ducky, pliers thingie to get the key in the subway station by themselves?! I had to resort to a walkthrough, it was just waay too much "you take the bicycle pump and use it on the sky to get the remote, then you use the cornstalk with the shoe polish on the polarbear statue.." over it Edited February 10, 2006 by Kaftan Barlast DISCLAIMER: Do not take what I write seriously unless it is clearly and in no uncertain terms, declared by me to be meant in a serious and non-humoristic manner.

I just wondered if it was supposed to be the end of the demo. I mean, it felt a bit short to me for a demo and I have never played any adventure games before. It is just that I was booted back to the menu after the shipwreck scene and then shortly the whole crashed to the desktop... OTOH, I did get to use all of the items, so it could be it.
