![]() The game is attractive - although I sense the bite of the budget or the edges of the engine in the depiction of certain events, particularly a jailbreak in which rioting is kept conspicuously off-screen - and the script is strong.Īnyone going in cold, without knowledge of the previous games, might be slightly baffled, even though there is an attempt to ease into the story. Minor additions aside, I didn't play anything in Book One that I hadn't already seen. Europolis, the neon hub of marketing and militant police that you'll spend the majority of this first episode exploring, is more heavily populated and some scenes have been altered to improve the flow of the story, or to provide pointers where objectives weren't entirely clear. It's around five hours long and I've written about most of the content already, although there have been some additions and tweaks since the preview build I played. The Chapters are now divided into Books and yesterday saw the release of the first. The Longest Journey began a decade and a half ago and Dreamfall Chapters marks the end of that journey.īut not yet. Parting is such sweet sorrow and all that, but it's beneficial to have some closure. ![]() It was also a MUCH shorter game than TLJ.When you spend so long hoping for the continuation and conclusion of a story that was part of your earlier life, it's a bittersweet relief to hear that the waiting is finally over. Great characters, worlds, and writing all around. It was clearly rushed, whcih is really unfortunate because I think the series is pretty awesome. Even though you knew she was going to end up in a coma at some point during the game, I didn't think that's where they would end it! Arghhh. Chang was Zoe's and Faith's mother, right?) had to go and put Zoe in a coma. It was a touching scene I guess, but there wasn't really much time to develop an attachment to Faith from the time they introduce her backstory to the time she disappears. I should have said resolutions to something that I cared about. I don't think the ending is bad, just very very VERY lacking in resolution for stuff that isn't about Faith. (one lil shank and fallen into a they resolve the little girl sub-plot and it's pretty well done. I also remember that the old lady was supposed to be April Ryan, and there's no way they would kill off a main character like her in that fashion. We might never learn what is the undreaming, what's the deal with that tower, what happens to zoe, april (come on), the crow and the assassin Skip to the 1:06:00 mark for the after credits scene. I say Funcom is in deap shit over their goddamn MMO and that the studio contracted to produce the sequel might lose its source of funding. Leaving 5 billion plot threads hanging in the wind. ![]() Even if the resolution to some plot threads is pretty satisfying and the plot twists at the end are pretty good, it doesn't excuse the fact that they don't touch the larger conflict AT ALL. I guess it's testament to the story for making me care about the fate of april, zoe, the crow and that assassin guy. And the part after the credits just adds another layer of WTF. This game might have the biggest cliffhanger in the history of EVER!!! It puts halo 2 and half life episode 2 to shame. That was all fine and good until I reached the ending. Seeing april,crow and the crazy mage back was a truely great nostalgia trip. The point is, I still enjoyed Dreamfall and its complexe storyline and great characters. I played the longest journey to completion almost twice a very long time ago but I forgot most of the characters even though I still think it's one of the best advanture game ever made. Picked up dreamfall on the steam sale 2 days ago.
