Episodic King's Quest The Odd Gentlemen.

[Baggins]

I'd disagree about looking better on the PC Baggins. Quite honestly I have a pretty high-end PC rig and my PS4 still has much better graphic hardware.

Doesn't honestly depend on the max resolution of your monitor/HDTV can output, and max resolution output the game can do? As well as frames per second.

I mean the game does seem to go up to a resolution beyond 1920x768 HD, if you have the monitor for it.

Assuming you could max out the same resolutions, and the same frames per second on both pc and ps4 they should look essentially the 'same'.

This game is not really pushing any 'boundaries' hardware wise. That's why it runs on many different systems, the only thing being limited is the resolution and frame rate depending on hardware and settings.

Janx, it sounds like your 7 year old daughter is more clever than most of the people posting on Adventure Gamers (no surprise there) and the Sierra Gamers Facebook group

In reality its not uncommon for younger children to be more clever than 'adults' in many ways (sometimes a greater attention span). More open to imagination. The mind is still pliable to a degree. People lose some problem solving skills over time, unless they continue to practice it.

Hint book sales will be way down.

I wonder if they'll even bother to sell hintbooks...? Although I might collect one if adds anything interesting about the game, development, etc.

[Klytos]

Why would they do a hint book when I'm sure there's a walkthrough online already? Yep, just googled, at least half a dozen.

[Baggins]

I think companies only produce hint books as collector's items anymore. I mean who actually buys them for their main purpose? Every game has pretty much free walkthroughs and 'let's play videos' within only a few days of release.

[Kaldire]

still would be nice to see mask + these episodes added to the compendium books after these are done

id buy that and a real box of the game

[Baggins]

Ahh a new Companion, one could only dream!

Although writing a novel for the new games would be a doozy! With its clear multiple paths, and no single 'right way'!

If I was involved I'd say split it into two books, add the An Encyclopedia back to the book, but now with even more updated entries, spanning all the games (or make the Encyclopedia its own book!). Two books will keep it from being impossibly 'big', or made with cheap super thin easy to rip pages (fourth edition was going in that direction). Also add new map artwork. KQ7 never got a 'map of Eldritch and Etheria".

[Kaldire]

thats a "novel" idea!

hehe

[Baggins]

It could be designed like the Zelda Collector's Series guides, and given pseudo-leather hard covers. As an added bonus they could also insert the manual short stories, artwork, Guidebook to the Green Isles, and Sorcerery of Old into one of the books as well, and have it all in a leatherne bound slip case (like the Zelda guides).

hey baggins do you know
since matt doesnt really reply to much,

if someone wins the said contest on wikia, and gets just the ep1

can i upgrade in steam after that, to get ep 2-5+ epilogue,  as it looks there is no epilogue unless you buy it all in one go.

so that contest would void the epilogue.. idk seems odd

hahahah wow

he used the same words i did
DRAGONS LAIR
ahem cough cough , do i insert hate to say I told you so here?

also it seems if you purchase episode 1, you are screwed.
the devs have ZERO support, email  forum etc, no posts on steam  nothing.
even wikia nothing..

if you say , buy, or win episode 1, you can never ever own or play the prologue,
you can upgrade to season pass , but this is just ep 2-5 NO EPILOGUE, wwwaaah

so this makes no sense, esp if you wanted to try out ep1 , then go oh i like it, i want 2-5+ epilogue
oh sorry sir you must buy the entire collection again, even though you own the ep1 already

huh???

anyway i love this review, its perfect
shows how i feel about the game, i like it but at the same time, its odd and a bit, well the review says it all...

still this lack of support is reason enough for me to stay FAR FAR away from this game
why the hell would someone have to REBUY ep1 just to get the collections epilogue, urmm
total nonsense eh

feel free to comment, but this is insane, whoever runs the PR or support needs a swift kick in the knees

[Klytos]

It's marketting, they want people to pre-purchase the whole thing and to encourage it they give them a free mini-episode. I wouldn't worry about it though, after the whole thing is released I'm sure they'll do a collectors pack with everything.

Yahtzee is awesome @Brainiac One of the reviewers I trust on adventure games being that he's an accomplished designer in his own right. I enjoyed that review (I enjoy all his reviews!)

[Kaldire]

haha we have the same liking whoop
yahzee is a blast to watch
always  haha

[Brainiac]

marketting

Do you wwebsite as on the internet as well, @Klytos?

  Sorry, couldn't resist.

Yahtzee is hardly the only one to chime in, of course. Pushing Up Roses posted a review, Paw Dugan is currently posting an episodic version on YouTube of his Twitch liveplay, and there are quite a few others, obviously.

[Kaldire]

yahzee not chime in?

you apparently dont know ben then hahaha

ever play his games? cool stuff too

anyyyway he is the perfect one to "chime"  always has been
he just loves too as you can tell XD

his are  "fun" reviews, if you are looking for serious stuff, look elsewhere,
but he does state the facts, as you can see XD just some are opinion based facts but facts none the less
