Who's buying Jack The Ripper? - Page 2

Erwin_Br · 01-26-2004, 02:12 AM

And I agree with Mycroft

I disagree with you all. I don't even know what you're talking about, but my gut instincts tell me not to trust Erwin, remixor or mycroft...

mycroft · 01-26-2004, 03:34 AM

I agree. Even I wouldn't trust Erwin, remixor or mycroft.

The 1st "hands-on preview" is out, and it sounds good so far...

DustCropper · 01-26-2004, 02:36 PM

Gamespot has also added 3 gameplay movies.

I agree! If others feel the way he does, it ought to be good.

BacardiJim · 01-26-2004, 04:34 PM

By the way... I never heard back from you, Jeanne. Get that LoPA hint file fixed yet?

And on a completely unrealted issue, I have run across several of your Moby reviews. I am amazed at how diametrically opposed our opinions are on many games.

Doesn't lower my respect for ya, though.

Helen · 01-26-2004, 04:36 PM

I will probably buy it, not immediately, but unless I hear really bad things about it,I will purchase it in the next month or so. Since I have quite a few to play at the moment I can hold off and hear some thoughts from others who have already played it.

colpet · 01-27-2004, 04:29 AM

I'll be buying this one eventually. 1st person perspective games are my favorite type.

Jeanne · 01-27-2004, 05:42 PM

This guy doesn't sound like he likes it very much ...

Adventure Gamer's Hands-On Preview

--> BacardiJim ... no I haven't updated the LoP hint file yet. Will get 'round to it one of these days.

*Stinger* · 01-27-2004, 05:57 PM

I don't know what you read, but the Adventure Gamers preview that I read (quite a fine piece of work, if I may say so) said that he was leaning towards a thumbs-up. "Doesn't sound like he likes it very much" is definitely not the case.

BacardiJim · 01-27-2004, 06:02 PM

I was kinda wondering about that too, Boss. Did Jeanne read the same article I did?

davez82 · 01-29-2004, 11:53 PM

the game kinda looks like post mortem. 'nuff said

*Stinger* · 01-29-2004, 11:57 PM

No, actually, not 'nuff said...it is definitely a better game than Post Mortem. Doesn't look quite as good, story's not quite as intricate, but it is far less frustrating to actually play through.

Hi,

I want to order Jack the Ripper too. I live in Belgium, Europe. The game isn't out here yet. I just want to know where you have ordered the game. Because 21 euros (INCLUDING shipping costs!) isn't that much!!

Thanks for the help

Enjoy adventure gaming!! ;-)

I already replied to your PM. Anyway, I did mention where I made my order in the original message (DvdBoxOffice).

Leonard Shelby · 01-30-2004, 11:51 AM

21 Euros is a really good price for a new PC Game nowadays so i could buy it .

I was looking forward this game since the E3 preview and i m fond of first person view s games and murder mysteries .

I just hope it s far more rewarding and exciting than Post Mortem which sucks greatly

Curt · 02-05-2004, 11:09 AM

Btw, for anyone interested in the real Jack the Ripper story, head over to here

It's an excellent read. But be warned, it goes into gut-wrenching detail, so those of a delicate nature best avoid.

Intrepid Homoludens · 02-05-2004, 12:20 PM

Heh heh, I'm way ahead of you, Curtsie.....hmmm, Curtsie > curtsy....

I read that article several weeks ago. Pretty creepy.

Garyos · 02-05-2004, 01:05 PM

Everyone should also read the amazingly excellent graphic novel From Hell by Alan Moore . It combines a masterful puzzling of facts with vivid storytelling (and is nothing like the movie). The appendixes in the back are worth the price of admission alone.
