my name’s Nikolaos and another way to say it is Nicolas .

Join the club. My name is Nikos (Nikolaos) too.

Tony at Rev has been answering some questions over at the comment section of KS and has said that, unlike the DC version of BS1, they will have both an examine and interact option when dealing with hotspots PLUS there will be many hotspots added to purely add an extra layer of depth to the in-game world. This is something that I was really hoping for and it is something the game needs to offer in order to be able to stand up to the original imo.

Also, he’s saying the game takes place after BS2. (Is it just me or does it seem like they pretending the 3/4 didn’t exist lol, for example, scripts for those games are not part of the KS rewards unlike the 1/2/5).

Edit: Charles has apparently said on FB or something that there’s gonna be an another goat!

I liked quite a bit of the 3rd and 4th actually. However, I feel the series’ quality has declined by a significant amount with every game. I feel after the 2nd game (which was nowhere near as good as the ‘pinnacle of the genre’ that is the 1st - shorter, linear, less possible interaction with the environment, script often replaced wit with juvenility etc but is still better than most of the genre’s games) the games were no longer in league with the ‘big boys of adventure games and fell into the ‘middle league’.

lol Yeah, Nico didn’t die in BS4 Anna Maria did though (which bummed me out for the entire day after completing it).

I liked the third one and greatly disliked the fourth one. I don’t know what to think of the fifth one taking place after the second. Either it’s going to fall between the second and third or they’re going to pretend that the third and fourth don’t exist. Either way, I’m not too happy about that because I’d rather see them fix the terrible ending of the fourth game by showing us what George and Nico are up to next, whether they’ll get back together, how they’re dealing with the whole Anna Maria thing etc.

I’m surprised to read comments often saying they don’t like the second or think it’s a great deal worse than the first, because to me the second game is my favorite - I guess I’m just a bit juvenile, but George showing everybody the panties is hilarious

Even more rare - somebody who actually thinks 4 is genuinely good (and not just saying they somewhat liked it). What has the world come to!

2 - 2 stars

!

Personally I don’t see the big difference in the first two games when it comes to quality. I played the second one first, and it was also one of the first adventures I ever played, which may be the reason for me loving the second one just as much as the first. But 2 stars seems very harsh. Yes, even a tiny bit ridiculous, I must say.

I really liked the third installement too, even though it isn’t as good as it’s predecessors. The fourth, I must admit, I haven’t played all the way through. I tried playing it the other day, but the graphical bugs it had on my new computer made it unplayable. I might pick it up on GOG some day, just for the fun of it.

Anyway, looking forward to munber 5!

KriD: The AG review of that particular game HAS gotten a lot of criticism over the years. But in the end, who cares? As long as you like it that’s all that matters, screw the reviewer!
