Iā€™m almost done with As Dusk Falls, and I just wanted to sayā€¦ I didnā€™t like this game AT ALL. :sweat_smile: I love The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, pretty much everything modern Telltale has done, and this game is so similar, but the story and characters just donā€™t connect at all. I rarely if ever felt any sympathy or connection with Jay. And the characters constantly made the stupidest possible choices despite how I tried to influence them. I NEVER felt like I was expressing what I would do in a situation or my view of the characters when I made a choice, and in a game like this thatā€™s pretty much the entire appeal.

it more worse with fox news because they classify themselves as entertainment and not news and argued this in a court case reading the hilarious comment and roundabout way in the document was sad too

Really? My experience is wildly different. I really like the game, and the choices and consequenses feel much more deep than in TellTales games.

Of course they sometime make stupid descisionsā€¦ they are human. I find it very interesting and will do more playthroughs later on for sure.

Was thinking along the same lines - I canā€™t begin to get into how often I expect people to make rational decisions only for them to do stuff that makes no sense whatsoever. Itā€™s kinda neat to see that happen in a game as well. Also yeah definitely feels like choices have more impact than a lot of things Iā€™ve played.

Pushing this live tomorrow morning. Enjoy a sneak peak!

More coming this week including a (probably late) Dead Space review. Iā€™ll be at 11 reviews for January once that is done.

A 5 for Forspoken is sill to generous IMO. I would have given it an 3 or lower lol.

I saw ads over here, so that could help.

One thing I noticed about this game from various reviews is that the cutscene design takes a page from Sonic ā€˜06. If you donā€™t know, it loads before and after cutscene. This game brought it back. Thatā€™s incredible. Iā€™ll take ā€œsqueeze through the crackā€ option back now.

The loading into and out of cutscenes thing was driving me insane on stream. You load into a scene, it ends, you fade out, you walk 10 feet, you fade in and watch another cutscene. rinse/repeate

Oh man, Iā€™m so sorry. I also heard some dialogues you canā€™t roam. Youā€™re stuck in place. No wonder someone said we went back to PS2 Game design.

You lose control of your character constantly. I had no voice after 3 hours of yelling ā€œwhy?!?!ā€

Is your past stream still there? I have to see it to believe it.

One more thing to comment. The way how the game presented NYC is the high level of stereotype with a sprinkle of silliness like ā€œThe monster speaksā€ line. Itā€™s hard to cringe because it exceed that level. Even Godzilla Final Wars wasnā€™t that face palming.

Twitch itā€™s up there and I uploaded it here for posterity but YT is still processing to HD. I normally do 1440p high bitrate vods for YT but I couldnā€™t on this one since I needed review footage in chunks.

Iā€™m still waiting for them to fix a game breaking bug.

I have the infinite final boss loading screen issue that loads of people have reported. Itā€™s a shame as High on Life was a great game, especially in the latter parts of the game.
