n0wak Posted January 21, 2007 PRE-EMPTIVE THREADING http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/ds/hotelduskroom215 I hear it's already out in places. I'll go look for it tomorrow or Monday. Anybody have it yet? Anybody playing it? This is most anticipated game for the month so I'm eager to get. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kolzig Posted January 21, 2007 It is really promising, but I'm waiting for the reviews so I'll know more about the game before I make my decision to buy it or not. There are still many things that I want to know about, I'm pretty sure that the puzzles and presentation are good, this being a Cing game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fandango Posted January 21, 2007 My friend has a copy. He says it's ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miffy495 Posted January 21, 2007 Crap, I still haven't played a bunch of DS games from last year that I've been meaning to check out. Depending on review scores, this may take precedent. Waiting to see right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lobotomy42 Posted January 22, 2007 I'm sure I'll buy it eventually, but my plate is too full at the moment to warrant rushing out to get it. Maybe in a few months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
n0wak Posted January 23, 2007 Ok, I got it. The box design doesn't look all that good. The cover's OK, but it doesn't stand out and the type treatment is very ho-hum. Rated "T" for "use of alcohol." Eventually, I'll play it too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moosferatu Posted January 23, 2007 I haven't played it or seen any reviews (are there any yet?), but, for some reason, I have a gut feeling that it's going to end up being a disappointment in the end. I hope I'm wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not that their opinion was going to affect my decision to get it anyway, but just saying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miffy495 Posted January 23, 2007 Heh. The quote from the worst review on metacritic is something along the lines of (and I'm paraphrasing here) "It's good, but it requires patience! Who has that anymore?" Yeah, sounds like a quality adventure game then. I'll definitely be checking it out.i Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rado Posted January 24, 2007 Hey, Mr. Dusk fellow, do you come with multiple endings? Multiple endings are fun. Please come with multiple endings. --Yours, Finn Madrox. EDIT: Dear Mr. Dusk, I need to stress that my question is NOT about your forked penis. --Love, Finn Madrox. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qdqwdd Posted January 24, 2007 According to Gamespot, its story is better than Another Code's (which isnt too hard though...) And they gave it a 8.2! http://www.gamespot.com/ds/adventure/hotelduskroom215/review.html?page=1&sid=6164619 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JoeX111 Posted January 26, 2007 Just got it today. From what little I've seen of it so far, it plays like Tex Murphy, but without the charm. Still, I'm having fun with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miffy495 Posted January 26, 2007 Grrr... stupid EB was sold out when I stopped by on my way home from class. Oh well, at least they finally let me put down a pre-order for GH2 on 360. Last week their computers didn't think the game existed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kolzig Posted January 26, 2007 I will be most likely picking up Hotel Dusk in the upcoming months. I read some reviews and it feels like a better game than Another Code. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moosferatu Posted February 1, 2007 http://www.4colorrebellion.com/archives/2007/01/31/4cr-review-hotel-dusk/ Is it really as good as he says? Are the characters interesting or just noir cliches? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ged Posted February 1, 2007 Darn another class looking DS game. love the graphical style I'm totally skint and all these great looking DS games are making me want to extend my overdraft just so i go buy a DS and play these games. As well as shout "Objection!!", without people looking at me too strangley. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toblix Posted February 1, 2007 As well as shout "Objection!!", without people looking at me too strangley. I never once shouted at that game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeX111 Posted February 1, 2007 Is it really as good as he says? Are the characters interesting or just noir cliches? Most of the characters are pretty standard noir archetypes, but they have pretty fleshed out and interesting backstories. Moreso than the characters in, say, Brick.
