You should. It's still in some stores (usually in budget games) and goes for about $5-10.Quote:

I tried to pre-order this yesterday. Apparently the game isn't even in the local EB's database yet. Has anyone else had this problem?
Ah well, it's probably good that I might not be able to track it down until after exams.
They let me preorder at Gamestop.Quote:

Damn, you finished it pretty fast. I remember it being fairly long for an adventure game. Did you use a walkthrough at all? I remember getting stuck for like three hours in the beginning. I finally broke down and checked a walkthrough... and it turns out I had run into a bug! So it wasn't even my fault. That still sticks in my craw...
p.s. I agree with your assessment that it may in fact be one of the greatest games ever. It was in my All Time Top 10 for awhile. It's prolly slipped into my Top 15 now. Still, that's prime real estate, rubbing shoulders with the likes of Mischief Makers and Super Mario RPG.
I got to this part where you're in a library and you talk to this old guy and make him go fetch you different books off the shelves. Every time he does this he walks over to the shelf.....REALLY,REALLY SLOWLY......and then there's the picking up the book animation which is moderately slow....and then...he walks all the way back to you SUPER SLOW. And that happened like 4 times and I just couldn't take it anymore.
Looking back, I think I'm probably an idiot because I believe you can skip those animations just by pressing escape or something.
Nah, I don't think you can skip those. I feel the frustration. I am just ridiculously patient with things like that. I get annoyed but never to the point where I'd stop playing an otherwise good game.
As much as I loved it I never beat TLJ. It just happened to be the game I was playing when some virus fucked over my computer and a couple years later my hard drive died while playing it.
I will return to it some time but it's a long game(truth in advertising I guess) and after losing my saves twice I think I'll play Dreamfall first. According to the GS review(they gave it an 8.1 BTW), Dreamfall is about 10 hours long which is much shorter than TLJ was for me.
So will not having played the first matter all that much if I want to just take a jab at this game?
