Eh i dont think there was anything pointless about Shandor being the main evil, nor did i think that was a twist. I mean i think that was pretty easy to see coming. Maybe you meant that the mayor was possed? That i agree with.

Spoiler

It was a twist, even if you could see it coming a mile away (which I didn't really just because I didn't think they'd take that route), there was nothing that said he was behind everything or that he was around. All we really knew about him was that he started the whole Gozer occult thing.

 

[BlackLantern]

For like 5 seconds & the same theme bit played each time. That does not really count. To bad they did not do a video game music video

why don't you just make a youtube video?? seems to be all the rage these days

 

[PyroChamber]

How long does anyone think it'll be before the add-ons are released?

 

[Tron Bonne]

What add-ons are you talking about?

Yea, the fact that he played such a key part in the orig movie due to the fact that his building was pretty much the key to the first film lead me to believe that at some point we were gonna hear more about Shandor. Plus the fact that all the stuff in the game originated after the Shandor foundation donated all those artifacts to the museum. I don't think it was a twist at all. The mayor being possessed by Shandor, that can be considered a twist.

Their was no indication that he was still around. He had died a long time ago and we were lead to believe that his descents and followers had used his inventions and magic to bring Gozer to our world. There's really nothing there to lead anyone to believe that Shandor was still in control of all the events, flesh or spirit. Everything pointed to a new breed of Gozer worshipers (with Peck as one of them). That's how the story was unfolding and then 'boom, nope spirit of Shandor all along folks'

Right when I hit the museum i figured Shandor was involved somehow

Spoiler

I really didn't to be honest, if there was any twist to be involved I was assuming it would be that Ilyssa was involved more directly somehow, but I wasn't expecting any real twist or anything. It never crossed my mind that the evil spirit of Shandor was still floating around and in control of all these events.

Spoiler

There were more than enough hints, in the films and in the game that tied to Shandor. Shandor wasn't just some guy who happened to be a fan of Gozer. He was the leader of a very strong cult when he died and the reason for Gozer entering our world. The fact that he had ties to Gozer, should have lead you to believe that he was and could be more than just a dude with a following. With Gozer failing it was only a matter of time that the guy who designed the channel for Gozer to make an appearance. The fact that the Mayor was possed by Shandor was the only twist i saw.

Thats why i think this story will be better than what they come up with for a 3rd. It basically capped off all we knew in the first film.

I never said he was just a dude with a following, he was an important figure in the mythos, but that doesn't automatically mean that he himself was still around pulling the strings and I never said there wasn't any ties to him either. Just never mind, it's pointless and I've got to get off here, I stick by what I say

 

[gregtestagent]

If there are addons, I wish they'd expand the single player campaign to co-op. Or maybe new MP maps taken from other locations from the movies not featured in the game's release. Fighting the Scoleri Brothers throughout a courthouse would be nice.

 

[roach]

is it worth getting????

 

[Roughneck]

Yes, but maybe after the price comes down a bit.......unless you're a die hard like us....but if you were you'd already have it.

 

[Soapy]

is it worth getting????

It's absolutely worth getting as long as you don't mind if an otherwise good game has a few rough edges here and there.


Also: Damn these spoilers! I need to to finish the game so I can talk about it with you guys! Haha.

 

[Roughneck]

I've earned over $100,000.00 on Live, but i didn't get the achievment....anyone?

Spoiler

Never said you did, i mean he was a big whig, thats what i was getting at. All im saying is that there was enough evidence that you shouldnt have been that surprised to see him as the evil behind everything.

Did you do it in ranked matches?

 

[Roughneck]

Oh I see....I think some was and some wasn't.


should it have been ranked?

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Yea, all your career stats are cumulated via Ranked matches.

Iv captured like 4 or 5 Most Wanted Ghosts and am up to like $980,000 in earnings.

On the sides of the gate, you'll see two little stone pillar type things. You need to tether those to a little opening right below them. They act as a key for that gate.

Thanks for your help. I kept trying to slim tether those weights, but the game is a little glitchy. I ended up reloading the checkpoint and it worked then.

I had the same thing happen to me when I tried to lower the weight in the graveyard to get that door open. Once I reloaded the checkpoint, it worked.

Those glitches really erk me because I didn't know if I was doing something wrong or what.

But I did finally beat the game yesterday. It is an awesome game and I'm sure I'll be playing my second run soon.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I'm at the Sedgewick for the second time. How far am I in the game?

 

[Tron Bonne]

Second to last level I believe

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Okay, cool, I should be able to finish it tonight.

Oh, has anyone else listened to the answering machine messages? Some are pretty hilarious.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Answering machine messages? Where at, in the Firehouse?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yep, second floor, at the end of the table that the toolbox and mini Ecto-1 artifacts wind up on. I don't know if they keep accumulating throughout the game or if they're wiped away after each mission and replaced with new ones because I didn't notice it until after the library mission, but I had 13 after the library mission and 11 after the next mission.
