A Quick TE Review - Spoilers
Posted: May 16, 2014 • 8:11 pm
Rather than deal with that video card stuff I got a new laptop and figured I'd drop by and give a quick review on things. While I haven't seen everything, I beat the game with no hints and want to drop a preliminary.
Conclusion: With well rounded characters, graphics, an emphasis on memories, and large environments, another worthy installment along the lines of Under A Killing Moon!
While I appreciate the live actors, I think the downfall was that the focus was too much on self contained large worlds and the casual gaming market. For instance, Game Players mode doesn't seem too different and we can't look up or down anymore. But equally important is intensity. With things like Smart Alex the game didn't seem to have the intense feeling that the last two games did in terms of goosebumps and I see it as a step backwards. But I'll take Smart Alex. See if you can figure that one out!
Also, Chelsee didn't try and immediately find Tex and went for another guy, not an easy sell. Right up there with Sylvia as far as I'm concerned.
