Fuck it then. For another pit sandwich and some 'tater salad, I'll post a few more.



Like I said - it hasn't been so long since I tried to play through Anachronox (resorting to speedup and battle skips in the end, and still failing to complete the final boss fight) but I still don't remember a lot of the stuff in your trailers.

Also - the game still looks good. Not like "oh, the amazing graphics" good, but it doesn't seem as dated as later games that went for more realistic graphics. (Then again, I still don't see the problem with Deus Ex character models, so maybe I'm not much of an expert)

So this is where the game actually rears its ugly head and starts clobbering you with gameplay. Two dungeons back to back, nothing interesting in either of them.

That's really interesting to know, thanks!
I had to figure it out for myself when playing. Just goes to show exactly how obscure the game is.

The next part is a bit of drag (like most Anachronox dungeons, actually). I wouldn't be opposed to liberal use of the fast-forward key, during exploration or in combat.

Working on new episodes, but with no relation to that whatsoever, I'm uploading a Longplay version of an old game that was one of the first I Let's-Played, Phantasmagoria: a Puzzle of Flesh. Here's an introductory video where I also take a quick look at the FMV game genre.
Why is the audio quality on the actual longplay vids so bad?
