TNL Game Club Month #2 - Blade Runner

[Mzo]

I just remembered why I grew frustrated with the game when I first bought it; it's very easy to miss a lot of information. I kind of hate missing out on stuff in video games. Running away from that bomb was just the worst action sequence of all time.

That friggin' bomb part drove me nuts. It took me more than 15 times to run away in time for some reason but at least I'm past it. I'm definitely liking the game much more before. I'm glad it was picked.

I can't seem to do it. Tried 5 times and then decided to try another day.

I wonder if that's a PC timing issue or if it was always miserable. You have to click south-southeast as fast as you can. Don't forget that you can run faster depending on how many times you click. I honestly think the trick is to be faster than the other guy so he takes the brunt of the explosion: dick move.

I outran the explosion plenty of times, the hard part was outrunning it AND getting the Indian dude to fall down next to you so you could get his last words down in your fucking KIA =3

So I shot the cook guy, who ambushed me at my house after I lost him in the ally behind the Chinese cafe. I shot his ass dead and some random guy walks across the roof and tells me it's no big deal but I better not kill humans. Who the fuck was he and why/how was he there at just the right time?

The cook stuff can go a lot of different ways. It's basically the first point in the story that can diverge, but it then quickly bottlenecks again and leaves everyone with the same information at the end. That dude you met on the roof is Gaff, he was also in the movie. I actually just read DADoES on my Kindle and just watched the theatrical cut on Netflix so all the references are pretty fresh in my mind, like all the David Holden name-dropping and whatnot. I also thought it was a nice touch to see Deckard's footprints here and there without ever actually meeting him or teaming up for some bullshit stupid action scene. Glad they resisted that temptation.

ALSO: Save before every major conversations, the one word descriptors sometimes are just a name or something and you might end up doing the super nice thing even if you're trying to be a bastard. It's because of the stupid preset personality system for conversation and it kind of sucks. For example, picking the word Crystal might trigger a conversation where you warn the filthy replicant scum about the other Blade Runner chasing them when in fact their asses were about to get retired something nasty.

Is that instant watch?

If so I'm going to watch it today before I continue playing. I've never seen it. Somehow it just never came up.

[Mzo]

Yes, and I really think you should.

Mac version?

[Mzo]

You'd be lucky to get one now, let alone in 1997. Pretty sure there's a way to emulate Windows and pretend you have a real computer.

Pretty sure there's a way to emulate Windows and pretend you have a real computer.

Step 1: Return iPad.

Step 2: Take money and buy cheap laptop.

Step 3: Play this game on it.

Step 4: Cry over how stupid you are.
