Rocket Baby Dolls posted:I've decided to play the original (somewhat) alongside the Director's Cut for a number of reasons. As much as the newer version has added a brand new story arc, the developer's have cut a lot more than they actually added to the game as it was originally made for the Nintendo DS and Wii U. A lot of dialogue has been cut, hotspots have been removed, puzzles have either been cut or replaced with mini-games, death scenes have been removed and all signs of blood has been edited out. As much as Nicole's extra scenes are a nice addition, they chopped other content out of the game in an effort to trim the game size down to fit Nintendo's size specifications. It's been some time since I played this game, so my memories of it are hazy. And I've got to say, I remembered liking this game but I'm still surprised at how good it is so far. Some really good dialogue, and an impressive amount of effort put into the details. The "director's cut" (which I've never played) has not done anything to impress me so far though. So far, so generic. And is it just me or does it actually look worse than the original?

The dialogue in this game is so good.

I understand why you'd take out the joke about Nurse Grendel for an updated version (especially when you're already removing a bunch of other stuff), but it's an odd decision to leave the entire setup and only remove the punchline.Rocket Baby Dolls posted:Here is my take on it, please correct me if I'm wrong:

I liked how the way you cut it together kind of made it look like George got electrocuted on top of the train and it somehow made him fall back into it through the open door on the side.

Zaroff posted:I don’t like complaining, since it’s a fan effort, but was there no feedback on the guy doing George’s voice? The bits of French and German he spoke at the beginning were atrocious, and that pronunciation of Marseilles was painful.

The banter in this section is honestly the first indication (that I can remember so far) that George and Nico actually do like each other - at least sometimes.

Nothing in this section makes any sense, but I do find it amusing.

Zaroff posted:I’m lost on the timeline here - a flight from Rome to Phoenix has to be at a minimum 12 hours; probably more since there’s airport time and most likely transfer time. In all reasonableness, Nico will be gone 2 days.

Why would you repair the shredder and then try to put the document back together, instead of rescuing the half-shredded document from the broken shredder?

I really enjoy the casual rapport between George and Nico in this game. It's not the same style as the first game, but I think it's the first time the series has returned to being as well-written as the first game.

Rocket Baby Dolls posted:This was the painting that I was referring to in the video: If he was creating a forgery, why would he replace the people from the original? It would be spotted instantly. I know it's just there for a quick joke, but that's dumb. Just leave out the bit about it being an attempted forgery.
