I didn’t spoiler tag anything in this thread cause its an older game and I didn’t feel like tagging, so look away if you don’t want to see.
Alright, I know I’m pretty late to the party on this one, but damn this was one of the most disappointing games I’ve ever played. It started out being great fun, covering up your murder scene then getting the chance to investigate it, running and hiding from the cops, exploring rooms for clues and so forth. Not to mention the constant sense of fear and dread that some of the situations presented (I.E. waking up in Lucas’ apartment in the middle of the night with the doors open and the T.V. all snowy or Carla’s psych ward visit and her trip into the basement). That was all great, I didn’t even mind it when it got a little supernatural and Lucas was able to beat the **** out of three cops, jump on a helicopter and do a back flip on to a train. As long as they had kept up with all the other things, they could have as many over the top matrix-y action sequences as they wanted, but they didn’t, it all just degenerated into a long ass game of Simon Says, wrapped around an increasingly bull **** story.
I mean really, how the hell did Lucas or Marcus not remember that Lucas used to have visions as a kid? I know people tend to forget things about their childhood, but how would you forget about that time your brother predicted the fire in which your fat ass friend burned to death? What the hell did Lucas see when he went to the hangar as a kid? An AI virus taking form and being able to resurrect the dead? WTF.
Carla getting it on with Lucas around a bunch of hobos on a hobo bed was pretty damn gross too. I could understand if she said “Look, we may die tomorrow and I don’t want to go out without one last screw.” But she told the guy she’s only known for about a day that she loves him and needs him. Also, he’s dead and ice cold and she wants him inside her while its -45 degrees?
Sorry just needed to rant about that…
