Title: The only thing I did not like Post by: jst65 on February 07, 2010, 05:00:17 pm Maybe it's only me, but I had to mute the "Queen/King" scene. The drooling sounds she/he makes over and over were kind of getting me sick while trying to solve minipuzzles :( Quite annoying nevertheless, compared to the amazing score of the rest of the game. Nothing else - I loved the game and yes it is worth every penny :) Title: Re: The only thing I did not like Post by: Frits on February 08, 2010, 10:11:42 pm Well, yes, I completely agree actually. That was one thing that annoyed me, I muted that scene, couldn't stand the sound. But yeah, I can't really complain.

Title: Re: The only thing I did not like Post by: bombjack on February 11, 2010, 03:29:17 am Well, I liked that BUT not at first, true. After wandering through the room trying to catch a glimpse of everything around there I've finally get used to, and in the end I've found it perfect for the situatiot pictured there. Suited the overall mood of the game (organic and somewhat eerie - in a robot way) ;D
Title: Re: The only thing I did not like Post by: Lamkin on February 11, 2010, 09:11:34 am To me, the computer virus was analogous to a cold virus, so I thought those noises, although perhaps slightly annoying, were quite appropriate and logical—even a little comical. I think it was a decent way for Amanita to convey the concept, and I'm not sure how else they could have.
Hmm... Perhaps there could have been sniffling instead of drooling, but how would you show sniffling? Actually, now that I think about it, maybe sneezing would have worked better, eh? =op Title: Re: The only thing I did not like Post by: jst65 on February 11, 2010, 12:28:32 pm Hmm, I did not associate drooling to a (cold) virus, like I would with sniffling/sneezing
Instead it gave me the idea of someone who's been lobotomized/electroshocked, or something like that, and it didnt make things sound better :P I don't know if they could do any better, maybe stop that loop after a while.. BTW when you come back later on in the game, he/she starts drooling again :D then immediatly goes to the book-reading "hmmm?" ;) Title: Re: The only thing I did not like Post by: Wrenbot on February 13, 2010, 04:46:30 pm I loved that part. Emphasized the "sickness" and the disgust for what the bad guys had done, and somehow reminded me of Beneath A Steel Sky (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beneath_a_Steel_Sky) even more.
