TopGunKnacker Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 whats wrong with the map? Not being able to zoom out all the way was a pain but for me one of the biggest problems was that the map would constantly rotate oh shit yeah it does that too only thing i could say in defense of the map is that its user-hostility makes you read it more like a real map, and remember the layout yourself. did i ever mention they misspelt raincoat killer as raincort killer on the back of the first batch of game boxes? haha, its all so perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinzon Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I'm in on this too, for some reason. It's such a weird game. The thing that scares me the most so far is that the vending machine in the hotel charges $31.50 for a black coffee. That's expensive. Where the fuck does the 50 cents come from? Weird.

Hendo Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Glad more people are enjoying it. If anyone else fancies a go, my copy is still with Mr Jeffries if anyone wants to borrow it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halfagogo Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 this is the best game ever made. ever. any who say different are wrong. also, if you were kind of playing it but then tottered off to do other things & play shinier games at least complete episode 1 and start episode 2, have 3 extra infinite weapons now and bought a car amongst other things. this is my gam eof the last few years at the moment. its inspired and i hope they dont do a shiny shiny version, a shiny shiny prequel or sequel (as hinted at by swery) could be good though. get it, play it, desire to live in green vale, talk to yourself & marry emily wyatt forever.

Hendo Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Infinite machinegun or magnum, that's all you need. If you're enjoying the plot so far, you're in for a right treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halfagogo Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 i have both! got the infinite magnum very cheekily. the story is great, currently prgressing that as my side quests seem to have dried up. and that raging bull dude is a douche, spitting on my lovely car.

halfagogo Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 finished this sweet sweet game whilst the site was down. utterly brilliant. got all the cards too! does anyone know if you have to start a brand new game for the other difficulty achievments or can i just reload episodes on different difficulties & complete them and get the achievments that way? really dont fancy facing it on hard from scratch tbh.

Bob Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I think you can reload earlier chapters and change the difficulty so you can breeze through with infinite weapons and lollipops. I can't be bothered, I remember I Googled it when I finished the game but I can't remember exactly what it said now and I am too lazy to do it again. What did you think of the ending? I thought it went on a bit personally but it was still good, I just hate thinking I have finished something and then they tell me there is more. I spent the last five hours of the game or so saying fuck yeah, take it game! What? More? Fuck yeah, take it game! More? Fuck yeah, have it! and so on.

halfagogo Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 actually, i found it flew by after the bit in the clock tower (following that stupid dog didnt fly though). i really liked the ending (proper ending) where it leaves you just pottering around town after all was said & done, very melancholic - like that feeling you got after your birthday party finished as a kid. i may have been lucky with the boss battles though as i didnt find them too bad but read about what happened on the last one if you missed shooting a certain something (he really was a cunt!). actually, great ending. emily.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Oh man, this game. So far I've managed to chain smoke my way through... A car crash where I was not only driving, but smoking, talking on a cellphone that wasn't hands free, use a laptop and managed to swerve to avoid that cunt on front of the game case. And then have the cheek to complain when he crashed. Gone into some fantasy world with 2 creepy as fuck kids. Have a comedy situation where a zombie went into a house, me follow her in and then her disappear and then magically come back in like some fucked up wtf moment. Got fisted in the mouth by a limboing zombie. Avoided death from the raincoat cunt. He backed off like some pantomime villian. Held my breath through a cutscene in real life. Watched York try to chat up a woman while coming of a total schizophrenic. Magically see the Sheriff of the town come out of FUCKING NOWHERE™ with his trademark bad boy scar and paedophile looking gringo tashe. Slept in the largest bed known to man. Took a tour of a hotel which makes the one hotel in The Shining look like Butlins. Had a chat across the longest table in history. This woman is possibly the scariest thing I've seen yet, her posturing is mental. Saw York do his cum face after talking to himself. Talked to my coffee about theme parks. Noticed that the price of stuff in this game rivals that of motorway service stations here in the UK. Fucking over $100. What the actual fuck? Obtained a police car that handles like someone filled it with quick drying cement. Also, either the fuel tank on this car is either a thimble of the sheer weight of the car means it only gets about 3MPG. While in the car, York started blathering on about how old films that are on DVD have really shit extras. He then went on to talk about the film Attack of the Killer Tomatoes in great detail. After that he started going on about some other film from the 80's I've never heard of. In the police station I met a rather effeminate copper. York started with the shizo shit again and basically called him a big queer. Then he did the weird cum face. Again. I seriously don't know what to make of this game. It's bonkers, but also creepy when it wants to be. The conversations with Zack are hilarious, when he as discussing films he almost broke out into an argument with himself. I'm looking forward to playing more, only because it's so fucked up. As a game it's pretty terrible. Good experience so far though. I guess that's what counts.

I guess that's what counts. It's much more ambitious than its budget would allow - the controls, graphics and animations are pretty terrible (not to mention the sound mixing, check out the times when the score is louder than the people speaking), but the game itself is amazing. The way the story plays out and the day to day stuff you do along with the survival horror gameplay which less and less games do now. Martha said "it is ridiculously special" and he's not wrong. In all interpretations of the word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I played a bit more last night. Went on a wild goose chase for a squirrel key. Rescued Arnold for the squatting sheriff. Admired the guns and deer head on the wall of the sheriffs office. Stopped an important conversation to talk about biscuits. Solved a chess puzzle that was painted as a puzzle but wasn't a puzzle at all. Checked the weather. Raining as usual, just like in the UK. Checked out the posters on the wall of the hospital. Is that just bad Engrish or does that tie into the story some how? What the fuck is a premarital check up? Worked out this Anna lass had her tongue bitten off. Then these red seeds were thrown about. I guess they have something to do with the red shit growing all over the place. Then I had to navigate the broken recesses of Yorks mind. At least that's what the hell I think it is, time seems to be bent (moving backwards if you look at the clock))I don't think he mentions Zach all that much in these sections. I don't know, I think these could be the mental shit all in Yorks head anyway, as when they end you just go to where you would be normally in the level. Then the weirdest thing happened ever. Some guy in a wheelchair came out called Mr Stewart. His aid did all the speaking, mainly because he had a big fucking gasmask on his face. What the fuck. I'm not sure what I have to do next. No doubt it'll be mental as fuck. As for the music, I think it's intentionally mixed bad. I think this because it's meant to be simulating the sanity shit from Eternal Darkness. That whistling theme song is awesome though, I can't get it out of my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Fucking hell. The games flaws really show through. The driving sort of sucks bad, but as long as I'm not forced to race it'll be fine. At least I get a running commentary on old films, whereas the fighting and general combat sucks. There was one part where you get attacked in a passage where if you stand at the far side of the room at the end of the passage it gives a Resi style camera point. Now, a few people want Resi to go back to this style of game not realising it is the most shitty thing ever. I ran past the monsters because the combat is shit anyway, but fuck me when it goes overhead I wanted to kill the person responsible for making that design decision. It doesn't work in modern games. It worked back then because that's the best they could with the architecture they were given. It'd be like playing a FPS with one analogue stick now. Horrible. Apart from those parts and the waiting (of which I feel I am going to be doing a lot of very soon), it's brilliant. Each character has these inexplicable traits that no-one even bats an eyelid at or even knows have happened to each other. I mean, why did nobody know about Georges shirtless mystery? Why does nobody question why that wheelchair dude has a fucking gas mask on? Why are some people insinuating that York is the Raincoat Killer? It's mental, I mean you think you have it figured out, then something happens and the theory gets thrown out of the window. The cutscenes are as funny as ever, the Sheriff says his last few cases were for pissed up kids fighting and general shop lifting from and then York drops the bomb that his last few cases where a serial murders that used to clean off the skulls of his victims, piss in them and drink from them, and another where he dealt with a dude that was basically committing rapeicide. Hilarious. Parts of the last session genuinely creeped me out too, the hand door and baby crying were proper cunts tricks. I was relieved when they were over. I seem to remember people saying that you could get infinite ammo for certain weapons, is there anyone that could point me in the right direction to get some of these without spoiling the story? I've just done the community centre thing where the game has basically told me to go at it as and how I want now. I think the first thing I'll do is check the new visitor that pulled up to the hotel in the middle of the night, then do whatever takes my fancy, unless one of you guys has some advice on how to tackle it?

spatular Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Unless you're planning on 100%-ing the game anyway, here's the side quests that you should try to do to make the game easier to deal with: No. 5 Reward : Radio (fast travel device) Load Chapter 6 (as it will be raining) and open your map to find the location of the Flower with No Name. Collect it, then load Chapter 2 and head to the sleeping spot at the Albireo Graveyard. Sleep for 12 hours, then go speak to George at his house to start and end this quest. No. 11 Reward : .357 Magnum Collect 7 Bones scattered around the town, then come into contact with Kaysen's dog, Willie. Willie will run off with your bones, so head to the kennel in the back of Kaysen's car to retrieve them. Don't do this until you have collected 7 bones, or else you won't get the Magnum. No. 14 Reward : 10mm Submachine Gun Buy the suspicious map from Keith, then head to the marked location and enter the "Other World" there. Clear the enemies from each room, and feel free to use as much ammo as you like, as the reward is the 10mm Submachine Gun with infinite ammo. No. 15 Reward : 12Ga Shotgun CGB Buy the suspicious map from Keith, then head to the marked location and enter the "Other World" there. Clear the enemies from each room, and feel free to use as much ammo as you like, as the reward is the 12Ga Shotgun CGB with infinite ammo. No. 16 Reward : RPG Buy the suspicious map from Keith, then head to the marked location (GV Electrical Substation) and enter the "Other World" there. Clear the bosses from each room, and feel free to use as much ammo as you like, as the reward is the RPG with infinite ammo. Also go see Lysander in the junkyard and do his quests to improve the cars or get new ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 It's gone totally open world now. It's basically saying, you start your day off getting your hand held, and you have to be 'here' at a specific time. Do what the fuck you want in the mean time. That fat creepy fuck is no good. The plant sat outside the door where I stay creeps me the fuck out. I've done some general odds and sods around town, I bought a car, found loads of human remains which no fucker seems to want to accept (unsurprisingly) and started chasing up leads. I think Becky is my next line of approach, I managed to get my hands on Anna's diary and it looks like she's heavily involved in the shit that went down. I took the crazy old lady home with her fucking pot as well. Did anyone else notice she's only wearing one shoe? Crazy bitch. I'm looking forward to playing some more later on. Although there are shit parts of the game, the way the story is handled and how you play that part out is really enjoyable. I think once tonight ingame is over I'm going to pay the gun specialist a visit. I'm going to try and pay all the people visits as they all seem to be weird and connected in some way. Maybe this shit's going to turn out like Murder on the Orient Express and everyone had a hand in the killing. I'll be fucked if I know just yet, the game's throwing more curve balls than I can keep up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
