If you're interested in doing side quests and going around town to get new dialogue and learn more about the characters, those parts outweigh the action/horror segments. They aren't insignificant, though, either, so it depends on how much you dislike that sort of gameplay.Samantha Lienhardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00050896759185927270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803482805925136251.post-16612863119015055032020-07-13T12:03:04.447-04:002020-07-13T12:03:04.447-04:00While the voice-acting is kinda ironically funny, ...While the voice-acting is kinda ironically funny, that's the sorta thing I don't like experiencing. >_><br /><br />Rawk justifies it with:<br />"But remember above all that you're playing for story and characters.<br />The DP1 shooter stuff is basically Sticker Star/Color Splash battles, the only difference being you have to do them.<br />In any case, I don't remember those sections being very long."Ludwig Von Koopahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07286894104423855927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803482805925136251.post-46293760603389568182020-07-12T20:16:54.431-04:002020-07-12T20:16:54.431-04:00An example of the horror sections: https://www.you...An example of the horror sections: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxCht7sJfmgSamantha Lienhardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00050896759185927270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803482805925136251.post-86410247022059160592020-07-12T18:21:19.016-04:002020-07-12T18:21:19.016-04:00eekeekLudwig Von Koopahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07286894104423855927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803482805925136251.post-64369709618613805792020-07-12T10:42:16.257-04:002020-07-12T10:42:16.257-04:00For you, you'll have to take the horror aspect...For you, you'll have to take the horror aspect of the game into account too. I'm not sure which parts of horror games turn you away from the genre, but there are sections where you'll be going through creepy areas and shooting disturbing enemies (and sometimes hiding or running from an enemy you can't fight in scripted sections).Samantha Lienhardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00050896759185927270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803482805925136251.post-57537281543771884492020-07-12T10:12:46.735-04:002020-07-12T10:12:46.735-04:00...Yeah, York isn't playing the straight man....Yeah, York isn't playing the straight man.Ludwig Von Koopahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07286894104423855927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803482805925136251.post-90247174490130740872020-07-11T12:37:31.426-04:002020-07-11T12:37:31.426-04:00Hmm...

People tend to describe it online in a "so bad it's good" way, but (unlike the game I'll be reviewing on my blog today, which I do feel fits into that category), that's not how I feel about it so far. It's a good game with a weird sense of humor that occasionally has some technical issues.<br /><br />Now, I don't know if I'd compare it to Ace Attorney, and I haven't played No More Heroes yet to make a comparison there (still hoping for a port). I've been describing it as a bizarre blend of Silent Hill and Shenmue: a dark mystery with some horror elements and combat against disturbing enemies, interspersed with a slower-paced investigation where you'll explore a town and talk to people who all have their own schedules they follow each day.<br /><br />And mixed in with all of that is a bizarre sense of humor and surreal tone because some of the characters and aspects of gameplay are just weird. For example, there's a gas station attendant who will give out information in exchange for "Ben Franklins." This isn't an ordinary bribe scene, because once you pay him, he turns away and has a loud conversation with "Benjamin" (yes, he's talking to the money) that includes a hint of a side quest you can do. York himself comes across as very eccentric, bringing up movie references in the middle of murder investigations and frequently talking to some unseen person calle "Zach" (who appears to be the player, and I'm not sure if this means York is crazy or if Zach really is someone).<br /><br />I'm not sure if you'd enjoy it, mainly because I don't know how you'd like the horror aspects, but once I finish it, I'll write a full review on my blog!Samantha Lienhardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00050896759185927270noreply@blogger.com
