I hope the sequel is released regardless of sales, instead of a situation like Psychonauts where there was no sequel. The puzzles are still keeping me up until 3am making me want to play more!

I know hint coins are meant to be used but I hoard them like a miser and restart if I ever resort to using one or three, so I'm still sitting at 60 or so hint coins in stock. I also don't like losing picarats due to the manual and game's vague phrase: "something good will happen if you collect a lot of these." Thus, I'm always at max picarats for that reason.

Seeing how obsessive these actions are, it's sort of annoying how I only have one unsolved puzzle so far throughout the quest. It's a matchstick one and I definitely don't want to look at a faq:

I hope I'm wrong on that one.

Well I beat the game doing the same thing you're doing, and from what I can tell, nothing happens base on your picarats.

Summonmaster:



Got through the game in about 10 hours, missed about 8 puzzles or so. Never showed at Grannies, must be environmental ones or something.

^^ Yeah there are some really well-hidden ones. I spent ages finding one in the Market area. I mean, honestly, who think to scan every square-inch of a wall for a hidden puzzle.

Other than that, this game is still <3.

Wait a minute now. There's one on the wall in the Market? Well, fuck me. That's probably one I missed. <3.

Whew thanks CS! I should have known not to restrict my thinking to uniform size letters, given the nature of all the other puzzles!

Not that it's a big deal, but going along the lines of obscurely hidden puzzles, those hint coins have tiny frame boxes too! Clicking on single bricks or one pixel wide circles made me wonder a bit.

Whoa this thread's ancient! Still very interested in playing this also, but there are too many other games now. Sorry Professor you are very late and grape escaaaape fuck that board game was awesome.

Maybe I'll chuck it in with mah Apollo Justice order ='(

Yeah, don't worry. That one got me too. I remember it vividly, especially when I ended up solving it with a "OH FUCK OFF" yelled loud enough to wake the neighbours.

The neat thing about the game is that ALL of the puzzles make you feel like a god damn idiot when you see the answer. Excluding maybe the chess ones and sliding block ones, it's like "Oh. Duuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" a lot.

I suppose I'll mention I placed my order for the game at dvdboxoffice a few days ago. Hopefully they'll ship it soon.

I had been hesitant about the game a while back, watching the trailer made me pleasantly surprised about how well they'd picked the voice actors. And anyone who knows me a little should know how queezy I generally get about dubbing of any kind.

Then Luke's voice might make you a little queasy. It seems like a faux British accent... And a bad one for that matter. But that's just me.

Well, all the voices I heard in the trailer suit them well, much to my surprise. The british accents were perhaps a bit overdone, but they fit the characters and atmosphere a lot better than the brit rape in games like Forbidden Siren or Ape Escape 1, for instance. Even FFXII botched up the cockney stuff.

Either way, good enough to convince me to buy the game~

My favorite puzzle EVAR? Its the 8 queens puzzle. God that was just awesome. Strangely enough its the four queens puzzle that had me stumped for a while til I got it down.

My least favorite puzzle is that stupid camera and the case puzzle. :\ I still didn't get the answer til I figured in my head some other time later and saw how it worked but still it fucking sucked.

So I did cave in and buy the game - just haven't had much time to get very far into it, yet.

Right now, I'm stuck on the 10 picarat rope and coin question of all things, because I keep mixing up which side of the rope will be "up" after it's taut. This is because I have the brainpower of an ant, which begs the question, why am I playing this game in the first place?

(I blame Meia. :tpg: )

Also, new tall hat avatar coming liek wut

I refused to click "Input Answer" on that until I realized that the way they outline it after you answer it is much better than straining your eyes along the rope :/ Doodling stuff in should help a bit!
