God dammit I hate going to the cinema when the little brats are on their school holidays. Kicking the back of my chair, answering their fucking mobiles during the film, making disgusting noises with their mouths, treating their sweets like projectiles, going up and down the aisle.
Grrr! :evil:
Plutocracy on
They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.
My huge beef with Eternal Sonata was that it's story was terribly incoherent and the dialog inane a good 40% of the time.
Lost Odyssey, it's not so much the fact that it tries to involve you emotionally. I really enjoy the vignettes, although I think it's uncanny how many ten year old girl's Kaim has left an impression on through his wanderings. I'm more upset at the sheer volume of tear jerking moments going on. Get to the end of the crimson forest, and if you still feel the way you do, then I guess it either means I've become somewhat jaded with regards to becoming emotionally involved in games, a prospect I don't find enticing, or maybe it just doesn't grate as much to someone that hasn't seen it at all before.
Lost Odyssey is extremely original with regard to some of its characters though. Have to give it that.
Yeah it sounded like Eternal Sonata basically failed to deliver on it's promise of a high-concept story. Cool premise though.
I'll let you know if I start to find Lost Odyssey especially manipulative or grating or anything - maybe I just haven't explored the medium enough to have very refined sensibilities in that regard, much like all those drooling proles and simpering man-children who cried during The Shawshank Redemption.
Damn my use of apostrophes in the above was absolutely criminal. In my defense, I was in a rush to get out the door >_>
In any case, yeah I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts as you go through it. You're the only other one I know playing it right now, so we can be parallel game walk through buddies

There's a pretty easy solution to your problem, you know?
Read more Brecht.
Cut off your fingers so you don't have anymore fingernails?

On the black screen
Don't bite off you nails... or read more Brecht?
Edit: Yeah, cutting off fingers helps, too. That's a bit extreme though (and it's not advisable for toes).
I lack a bluetooth dongle to get them from my phone to my computer
Another good solution is to watch more Wim Wenders movies. Bruno Ganz is good for the cuticles.
You need to un-lack that now.... please
