I thought it was great until, it got INCREDIBLY unrealistic. I mean 3 guys and a lady. Not only does the whole scene become unbelievable, she doesn' writhe in pain or get knocked out when her head is shoved into the table at point blank range. So far I'm unsure about the design choices. The boy trying to kill himself at every oppurtunity, and now this. Graphics are good, animation is great sometimes and robotic others. The eyes hurt the characters the most. The are glassy, and dont move around like eyes. But the environments are awesome.

Just wish that the devs thought about the situations more. What they seem to have done is draw you in the because it's unbelievable they lose you.

Sometimes, those choices have to be made in order to create suspense. Seriously, if that's (the motion and the eyes are indeed weak sometimes, especially when wanting to go left and your char moves rather peculiarly) your quarrel with the game, I think - like someone else said - you should stop watching movies at once.

 

The fact that there are numerous movies where people are smacking each other in the face, should already put you off, seeing how pretty much everyone would either break their hand or be in incredibly pain. That's common practice in a movie though. If Madison were like in real life, she'd probably be knocked out with the first punch.... awesome game that would've been...

Oh totally accept that. Movies do it all the time. But because a game is interactive, when they strive for realism on every level like this ( brushing your teeth, sleeping ) then I would expect her to at least stumble. It wasn't just a hit in the head. He grabbed her head and piled it into the corner of the table. All she did was look straight back at him and grab his arm? In a game, where it's interactive thats where the suspense dies.
