Title: Great game, but the demo ?
Post by: thedutchman on October 02, 2006, 02:53:44 PM
Yesterday I finished the game and it is great, thanks.

Some minor points of critic for your information:
 
After playing the demo my first reaction was not to order the game but I ordered it because I like the initiative. When I played the whole game it got better and better so for me the demo was not representative for the whole game.

Also a minor point of critic is that the behaviour of Al at the end is a fallback. You would expect a different behaviour after everything he succesfully did before.

But overall, very good work, I hope there are more adventures in the future.

I'm curious ... what kind of behavior did you expect from Al at the end?  From my perspective, I saw Al maturing and becoming stronger as the game progressed.  When he leaves the mines, the cutscene that plays shows an Al with self-confidence, unlike he appeared in the first couple of Acts.  I interpreted it as character growth.

Well this is a bit tricky without spoiling the end. I have see the end once and the part
[spoiler] with the brother where Al immediately gives in, the fact that they throw a tomato at him, going on the train needing a lot of persuation to stay instead of being the hero and lover  :rolleyes: . [/spoiler]

I agree fully that the character development is good, but that is why I expected something else in the end.

But I shall play the end one time more, maybe I interpreted it too negative or I havent seen some things

The only *very* minor thing that bugged me in the end is the fact...

[spoiler]...that Al wouldn't have had the upper-body strength to climb up a rope with the treasure (if at all), not to mention doing so one-handed![/spoiler]

HAHAHA!  I thought the same thing.  But, there you go.  It is what it is, sometimes.  HAHA!
