Here is one Extra for the people who think its a Movie and not a game.

 

This third video you posted doesn't change anything. I've watched this several times because the grafix are good and the atmosphere is very nice. But fact is that it's an interactive movie. Yes, you can call it a game too, I don't mind. But interactive movie is the most accurate descritption in my opinion, but there's nothing wrong with that. For a budget price I would probably get this game (say, the price of two DVD movies - $30-40).

The camera is fixed and all the scenes are very static (similar to MGS4 cut-scenes). From a gameplay mechanic point of view it's just like the conversation game play in Mass Effect - you typically have three or four dialogue choices which make a particular scene branch off in different directions, but that's it. The little walking around in that grocery store, just like the movement in all the other levels in this game, is only cosmetic.

Did you watch the gameplay where you get caught by the robber, and you can engage in the right (or wrong dialogue with him)? And as a result you could save the robber's life (or as the Private Eye, Shelby?, said helped him not 'fuck up his life')? I'll bet you that if you save the robber's life, he'll play some role in the future.

Or what'll happen if you just hid and let the shop keeper get shot? Could we then break into the back door and discover even more than we could have by stopping the robbery?


Just loke roles in Mass Effect were u can have sex with an alien or choose not to.

Listen, I actually said that the little freedom of movement was cosmetic, not the dialogue choices and outcomes. But the only thing you and Pullus have done now by protesting is to expose the game's weak spots further - actually the scene changes are quite meaningless too. They don't change the overall story much. The dialogie lines in the end of this scene was the same by Hassan and FBI agent in both cases - no matter if they let robber flee or he lies unconscous on the floor - he takes out his little box etc and the scene is exactly the same, finishing with:

"...there's at least some goodness in this world"
