There's only one obvious answer of a circa 2000 adventure game that could plausibly be described as "the best book I've ever played":

Despite the game and the movie a somewhat quiet note to end on :v: As always, a neat way to go through a game, Bobbin.

Without looking at the poll I would have guessed the remake of Myst that got released in 2000 but that was an outside chance at best.

Well someone has to put the auxiliary ballroom to use!

And so we come to the end, and one last time, we total the crimes. Believe it or not, what with the official orders this time, Bobbin had simultaneously his most violent and least criminal session ever:

People almost certainly permanently crippled/maimed by Wei Shen: 70 (total: 595)
People definitively killed by Wei Shen: 121 (total: 748)

Crimes:

7 Counts Accessory to Macro-scale Quantum Teleportation
1 Count Extreme Funkyness
1 Count Grand Theft Auto
1 Count Malicious Destruction of Property


For a paltry total sentence for the session of: 2 years, 6 months.




But of course, that's not the final tale.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it's time to total up the final tally of the crimes that Wei Shen has committed over the course of his policework in Hong Kong....

Put another way, for Wei Shen to be released today, discounting the death sentences, and taking the life sentences at the span of a normal human life, he would have to have been incarcerated eight thousand years before the invention of writing. Before the domestication of the horse, cow, or sheep. Before the foundation of Jericho. Before the Sahara became a desert.

Wei has been busy.

I usually retcon it as this-

Top Police Official- Wei Shen commits more crimes than he stops, he endangers thousands of people, we really need to take him off this case.

Sensible Higher Police Official- No, we need him. He gets results.

Yay, Hard Boiled! It's one of my favourite movies, and I'd kind of given up on it being covered in this LP. "The Killer" possibly has a better story (and it's more melodramatic if nothing else), but for pure action I think Hard Boiled edges it out.

I linked this video earlier in the thread, but since Bobbin didn't mention it in the review, Hard Boiled has an amazing ~3 minute long single-take action scene in it. This sort of thing has become more common in the years since Hard Boiled was made, but it was pretty mind-blowing at the time.


Anyway, thanks for another great LP, Bobbin! Now that I've seen the whole game I can say that I still don't find Sleeping Dogs itself very interesting, but the movie reviews certainly made up for that.

Pendrew shouldn't have rattled the hornets nest trying to clear his record before he left off to bigger and better things.
Wei Shen probably shouldn't have accepted the job in the first place.
And there's an ever growing pile of corpses of people who really, really should not have brought up the fact that wei shen's sister was a hooker for drugs.

This is probably too much effort, but I'd like to see, on the playlists, a small plain text description of what the small doc after the game play vid is like on each vid. A good part of these lps aren't archived and there are times where I'm looking for a specific segment and I have to increase the image size a whole bunch on youtube just to read what every segment is on the same page.
