Dark_Raven Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I know hardcore adventure game fans prefer mindbenders, but I personally did not care much for the rubber ducky puzzle, which annoyed me to no end. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> "How to design Adventue games 101" Good puzzles require logic, memory and/or deduction Bad puzzles are trial-and-error The rubber duck, although somewhat logical when you had the solution, belongs to the bad category or the "use the bicycle pump on the chewing gum and leave that in the tarpit to get the penguin to drop the frisbee" category <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I hate puzzles in games. Just show me the action and get going in the game. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draikin Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 The Gamespot review criticizes Dreamfall for having a story that didn't tie up it's loose ends very well. Well didn't TLJ? I mean, you were basically spammed with all these cool cultures and characters, and didn't have a clue about what happened to them after the game ended. Did Brian actually survive the Vanguard's attack on that Arcadian City whose name I cannot remember? I mean, TLJ must have had one of the worst endings relative to the rest of the story in the history of games, or even narrative fiction. I know for one thing that the top reason why I want Dreamfall is because TLJ left me hanging so badly. I'm glad to hear that the puzzles are less complicated/obtuse. I know hardcore adventure game fans prefer mindbenders, but I personally did not care much for the rubber ducky puzzle, which annoyed me to no end. *sigh* I really can't wait for my copy now... The Balance was saved and April fullfilled the first part of her quest in TLJ. Dreamfall is a lot worse, Zo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaftan Barlast Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 It just ticks me off that I have the game on pre-order but theres atleast two pirate releases(an xbox version and a 6cd PC version) out there already.

mkreku Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 I think you can take comfort in the fact that the european version should come on a DVD instead of six CD's.. ..unless I am mistaken about that, of course.

Kaftan Barlast Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 (edited) Yes, it comes on a single DVD. I wish theyd send me a complimentary bag of candy to make up for the fact that the Swedish release is on the 28th, whereas the US and UK release is on the 25th edit: Gah! Apparently the US release is today and the UK release is on monday the 24th Edited April 21, 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.

Hassat Hunter Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Though I guess "technically" there is combat. Attack of the furniture, attack by the panther, fighting in midair on the hosptial/asylum thingie, the escape through trafic scene etc. etc. etc. Nah, there is plenty of "combat" in Fahrenheit (call it by it's name, damnit ) Now hopefully Dreamfall has more puzzles and less such things as while fun within Fahrenheit, there doesn't seem such an "8 button pad" sceme in DF, nor does it really looks the type of game where such would be fun... ^ I agree that that is such a stupid idiotic pathetic garbage hateful retarded scumbag evil satanic nazi like term ever created.

ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 According to GAME it's not released in the UK till May 12th. I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now.
