Thanks Josh, that makes a heap more sense!
For anyone who's played PQ3, the game is totally odd. It is much less about police procedure and interesting stories then the first two games. Much of the game is tedious and odd. Including a certain guy playing a laughing coroner
(Actually, I liked Coroner Mandel.)
Yeah, PQ3 was a major disappointment, and I now know why. The 'rushed out the door' syndrome is also explanatory of the massive timer bugs and also, the second half of the game feeling very disjointed and a bit silly.
Once again, thanks Josh.
One final thing- do you believe Tsunami's promises weren't really kept? In my field of Sierra music, I thought Ken Allen (another notable Sierra employee who went to Tsunami, and even did music for Blue Force, Walls' game, I think) never really went anywhere after he left Sierra, and he was really talented.
