Quote:It's a stylized fantasy sci-fi world, so it's not really supposed to be that believable. Also, after the final revalation you get the sense that quite a lot of people were used in order to set things up a certain way.
Ooh, a "twist"? You mean there actually is one, like I've been expecting for a long time now! I should go play it right away then! I'm sure it'll be a complete surprise, just like the rest of this utterly original and hard to predict plot...
Quote:No, it only give you four full hearts.
That's what I meant -- it's quite a prize, when you had one or two! You're not supposed to make things EASIER for people when they die... you restart right where you died with the bonus of additional health. There is such a thing as "too forgiving"...
Quote:It's usually easier to sneak through, since those guys have shields and can take out two full hearts if they hit you.
Oh, yes, sure it is. But there is a big difference between the setup room-puzzles in this game and real stealth (like Theif, or even Metal Gear Solid in comparison...). As I said, these aren't stealth areas, they're a succession of rooms which you do one at a time (always in a completely linear fashion.), making it feel Zelda-like, except with trying to avoid the enemies instead of fight them. Except it's not as good as Zelda. And I don't see why people call it stealth.

That doesn't even begin to excuse it.
Quote:And that's why you get Gamecube version!
When I got it I don't think they had any copies of the GC version in... or perhaps they were $30 (or more?) while the PC one was $20... and I knew that lots of games are ported quite well to PC. How would I know that unlike most of my other PC games that are console ports (and I have a bunch), this one would be shoddy?
Anyway, I do wish that sometime they make a sequel, so that they can improve on the numerous problems in this game and bring the game a lot closer to realizing its potential...
